Ok, so i've spent a few hours at this already but let me give as much info as I can. I have read through many threads searching for info. I am no expert but I have had OG Droid, Incredible, and currently Thunderbolt all rooted so I am a novice.
This is my GFs phone and was previously bone stock, never rooted, no Roms nothing. So she gets the update recently and clicks yes and that is where the trouble began, phone constantly reboots and will not go past the language/activation screen. It never once went past that first screen, and she tried the hard reset and the battery pull.
So this is where I took over. I retried the hard reset (power + vol down) and also the battery pull. I also tried to activate in numerous other languages, all cause a reboot.
As per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1208713.html
I was finally able to get past the activation screen and make some progress. However after about a minute the phone always reboots, no matter what it is doing. I hard reset in the settings menu and that did nothing.
I next followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326347
and got the phone rooted.
Installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
and than installed CWR 4.0.0.4 ? (not sure the version whatever it comes with) Tested recovery and it it seems to stick even after rebooting several times, which the phone automatically does (maybe its a feature and not a flaw?) So I was unsure of what version of Android was even running because the phone will not allow me to go into about phone it always force closes *com.android.settings* but I figure what the heck and try my luck with a new Rom. I decided on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542&page=11
So I did the usual. Rebooted into recovery, made a nandroid backup, wiped data, cache, davlik and even did /system for good measure. Than did the install and upon first boot all the same problems are there. It will not activate from the screen, it just reboots the phone eventually. I used the same method above to avoid the screen and now it will boot up and the phone is in fact running an AOSP Rom but it still reboots after about a minute. Oddly enough it also continues to refuse to let me open About Phone, in the settings menu. I also for good measure went into recovery and wiped everything again and also tried fixing permissions in recovery, all to no avail.
At this point I am thinking it is perhaps just a hardware issue, although the phone does not reboot itself in recovery. I would be willing to try a different Rom, however I don't think it would work. I am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Should I try this?

Other info:
What does work is wifi, so i can get on the internet briefly. I can connect to google and get apps from the market.
I am leaving this for a few hours or I may have to re-title the thread "How do you put the LG Revolution back together after throwing it against a wall?"
Currently I'm sad face that you rooted and installed cwm but I think the update bricked it personally. Hopefully S.Meezy will see this as he has stock recovery. I would say just get back to bone stock and get it replaced. If anyone else knows how to get it fixed, my best guesses would be mt or S.Meezy, though adb that might work. I hope it all gets figured out. Someone needs to post stock GB without data or anything for people to flash to if need be. That might fix your issue.
My suggestion is to get the recover the whole phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295
follow that but use the v6 TOT file. That will revert the phone to out of factory new, with updated radios. If you still have the issue then I would contact Verizon.
If everything works then you can re-run the update to Gingerbread.
Could be a long shot but I remember seeing something a little way back in another forum where a user w the same problem accidentially resolved his issue by restarting w the sd card out. For him it turned out to be a bad or incompatible sd card at the root of the problem.
If you have one in, pull it and restart. Hope thats it for you...

Well i'm a glutton for punishment so i'm back.
I didn't want to bother with rooting it honestly but I did it out of desperation, figured a total wipe + brand new Rom would surely fix things.
Going to attempt the full recovery.
Tried pulling the SD card, than just the Sim card and finally without anything and none of the combinations worked.
Have you tried downloading a stock ROM to your PC/Mac and dropping that on your SD card and then flashing that ROM, after checking the md5? To me it sounds like your gf just had a bad download.
I think the issue is that you keep trying to flash the bad bits. Just my two cents...

Honestly you really need to try reflashing the entire phone with one of the TOT files. At this point to me it is clearly not the ROM that is installed. Restoring the phone with one of the TOT files will cleanly overwrite everything on the phone. Takes about 20 minutes or so after you have the program installed and recognizing the phone. Do it and post back.

What he said.
Remember: Absolutely do not, under any circumstance, unplug/turn off your phone once you start that process. It can take awhile, and might look like it froze, but just let it do it's thang.
Hi,
Long story short. I have no idea what is going on or what to do. It began with errors asking me to force close processes that were quit unexpectedly. Then I began to get hung up on the static X boot screen and now the animated X boot screen. When I was able to get it boot up (earlier in all this mess) I was able to do a Factory Data Reset a couple of times and it must have been no help.
I called HTC and they won't work on this "old" phone anymore. I can get into fastboot, but I do not know what to do from there. I am a noob with all this technical jargon, so keep that in mind.
Thanks guys!
P.S. it was rooted and no special ROMs (beacuse I am a noob and do not know how to do that stuff). Seem to have started after I downloaded Nemus Launcher, could be coincidence though.
Here is the update.
Following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312540
Has got my device to start up again. Although some options are in another language and I cannot open the battery usage page.
Any ideas?

With regard to fastboot or ADB, just spend some time reading the procedures and commands, I am sure, you will be able to handle it.

Have you considered installing a custom rom? It's a fairly easy process, and since you already have had some good practice flashing the stock rom why not go one step further? Browse the Nexus One development forum, and see if anything catches your eye.
I personally use a modified version of CyanogenMod 7.2. I highly recommend it over stock. Here's the link: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm7&device=passion
I had a problem a few days ago that i was having problems after rooting my phone so i brought it back to stock using RSD Lite and then tried to flash a new rom on the phone and it said my phone was not unlocked so i downloaded The Myth Tools and unlocked it that way but I am wondering if i messed it up because i did not really know what i was doing i just tried to see if i could figure it out and it seemed like it worked until today. I flashed Touchwiz on there a couple days ago and it worked fine i made a backup wiped the cache,dalvik cache and system now today it randomly freezes and is now stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen. I can hold down power and volume up and boot into recovery which is ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.6 touch and it also says under that in the bottom right of the screen Warning No file_contexts now i dont know if it has always said that since i flashed this recovery or just started. I also once again tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache because i read it on another post of someone stuck on this screen so i tried that and rebooted it still the same result stuck on bootloader screen. At this point i have no idea what to do. If i have to start over from stock because i messed up unlocking it or completely wipe it again and reflash touchwiz or another rom. I have had nothing but problems since rooting this phone I have gone through atleast 6 to 8 roms because every single one of them gives me a problem somehow. The most common is when i make a call or recieve one and i put the phone up to my ear I know the sensor turns off the screen but when i take it away to end it or do something its completely off or apps force closing all the time still after i did the stock reflash. I am starting to wonder if its just my phone because everyone else i read about has no problems with there phones mine nothing but problems. Please if someone could help me or walk me through this process it would be greatly appreciated I love the things it can do with custom roms but i just wish it would run smooth.

You can enter Recovery, right? What happens if you install a .zip? Right now your phone is stuck in the Motorola logo?
it wouldnt even go to the motorola symbol it just stayed in the first screen where it said your bootloader was unlocked. It would go into recovery and i tried to reboot it and it gave me the same screen. So i wiped it completely cache, dalvik cache and system and shut it off. Last night i plugged it into my comp to put it back to stock and it started up like normal and booted into a rom like i just installed one where you have to fill in all that info and setup wifi if you choose too which was weird because it wouldnt do anything before. Anyways i used RSD Lite and put it back to stock and thats where it is now. I am reading the Atrix HD Beginners Guide written by skeevydude right now and I am thinking about trying to root it again with the help of that article and maybe I will have better luck doing it that way hopefully haha maybe I can finally get a rom to run the way everyone else says they run smooth and fast. Any input though to help me would be much appreciated i am definitely new at this and want to learn its something that interests me alot ever since a friend rooted my phone the first time i cant stop playing with it I was trying to make it as fast as I can I had ProBam on there i think its called ive had touchwiz, motoblur, carbon, liquidsmooth, MIUI, and a couple others I cant remember also had a custom kernel i flashed on there and Pure performance so as you can see I have been trying everything.

Good to know that is working now. I would recommend you to take it easy. Don't flash it everyday, use and know a ROM, then you can decice which one is better for you. Be sure to have a backup if something fails, also save a .zip (ROM) in the SD card. Just FYI, I haven't come across a ROM that is 100% smooth (Not even HoloBlur). They are very good, but maybe not the smooth level that you think.
Hey bpc87, I was wondering if you were able to get a custom ROM up & running after all that & if so, how?
I've had the same issue whenever I tried installing a ROM. It would install & boot okay the first time, but when rebooting, it would get stuck at the "bootloader unlocked" warning screen. I went back to stock using Myth Tools & now, after installing a ROM, a reboot leaves me stuck at the "Motorola Dual Core" screen.
Any help from you & the community would be awesome!

dude i havent even tried to since i flashed it back to stock because i dont want the same thing to happen. The last time I just went to turn on bluetooth and it just rebooted on its own. Not too mention the other problems I had I am not going to mess with it again until I read more on how to root it because it is either that or my phone.
Yeah, I understand. Hopefully then some other users who run into the same problem will investigate & figure out what's goin on. I've seen several other threads of people who've encountered the same thing but unfortunately no answer. For me, this is the determining factor as to whether I end up keeping the AHD or not.
Thanks
I have the same problem. Everytime in moto logo after rebooting, but with stock firmware all ok. Is there any solution for this problem?
Running Beanstalk.
Have been having intermittent issues with mobile data, so I'm sadly familiar with toggling Airplane mode, changing the CMDA subscription, rebooting, etc. in order to jog mobile data into working again. Lately have been having a weird, sporadic problem with people I call only hearing static on my end, so I chatted with Sprint, got to the point where they suggest typing the code to reset/update PRLs into the dialer, and bailed.
Then, in my infinite wisdom decided to try flashing a Sense ROM, proceeding with the manual PRL update/reset, and then wiping and restoring my Beanstalk nandroid.
Now I can't make or receive calls or texts at all, no matter what I do. Have tried all the old toggles. Have tried a complete reflash of Beanstalk. I'm beginning to worry I seriously borked something up.
Is anyone familiar with this kind of situation? Did I screw up, and if so, how bad? Any solutions anyone can think of? I'd be most grateful for any and all help. Thanks guys.

Okay here is what you can do, there is an app floating around these forums that can allow you to manually write the prl, find that, and then use a stock prl for sprint. I believe this post will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296167
Let me know if that helps.
Oh and also yeah flashing a different rom wouldnt help because they do not contain any of that information, in fact i think all the carrier information is stored in a different partition for this exact reason -so they cant be easily overwritten.
I build the Beanstalk here and haven't come across that issue yet. Do you have a backup of your original stock ROM? You need to get back to straight stock, like out of the box stock. From there, you can update your prls or anything else OTA-style, check your functionality, then redownload the Beanstalk ROM from here, do a full wipe(no internal data), install the fresh DL, Gapps, fix permissions(PhilzTouch 6.0.3.3 only), and reboot. Should be good to go and should only need to toggle airplane for reboots and occasionally for the wifi. Let me know how it goes, either here, on the BS thread or by PM. Good luck....
If you have no original back up(after getting back to straight stock, MAKE ONE), then use Bigdaddy619s threads on getting back to stock. After that, then follow the steps above.
You should always make an original back up of stock directly after rooting and unlocking. ALWAYS

Thanks, both of you.
BMP - Beanstalk rules - it's definitely my fault. If I have a back-up made just after getting S-OFF, would that work?
matinm90 - thanks for the info...that explains exactly what the problem I'm having is.
I'll try these solutions out and post back. Thanks again guys.
Yes, it should as long as everything worked then. Driving right now. Try it and let me know. When I get home I'll help however I can.

Your welcome and yeah it should defintely work, just make sure you use the right prl
Worked!
I think what I'd originally goofed was not immediately rebooting after the prl update, since the Sprint lady didn't mention that step (or maybe I didn't hear her). This time I immediately rebooted and data came back, and then I was able to flash BeanStalk and stay functional.
Many thanks to both of you!

Wanting to get rid of bloatware I didn't want in the first place and explore more on the Android mobile operating system I decided to make the jump towards a custom ROM and here I am. I have been impressed with my first flash of CyanogenMod 12 so far but unfortunately have run into a various amount of problem which I have tried to explore before coming here. The only problem I've sorted so far is the normal "install core Google apps without additiona bloatwarel"... But that was easy.
I have the following problems:
1. No LTE.
I'm on o2 PAYG and have entered what I think are the correct settings for use of the Internet, but unfortunately I still have no Internet capabilities beyond WiFi. When going on search for networks it will spend time before going "error while searching for networks".
2. Audio and video.
-Most noticeably on Snapchat, when I record a video the phone goes haywire and may spend 5 seconds vibrating before spending the remainder of its time being generally slow until I restart it.
-When I bring up the music playing app, I press to play a song and the audio doesn't work, nor is the song actually playing. The track bar may go to 0:01 with no sound before going back to 0:00. The device also lag once again, but not as bad as SnapChat instance. The system audio works fine as button response audio is fine and calling works fine with ringing and hearing the recipients voice.
I have gone through a couple of threads to try and find answers so far, but unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.
My current set-up is:
Phone: Sony Xperia SP
Android version: 5.0.2
ROM version:12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-Ibhuashan (would be happy to change up ROM if advised so)
Kernal version: 3.4.0
I would be happy to supply additional information to help.
I'm hoping to get to know my phone and start contributing in some what possible way on the forum, but for now I just want to find my feet in this exciting new adventure
Many thanks for all help given.

What benefit do I gain from changing up my kernel? Is the ROM previously mentioned alongside the kernel update only available for devices running a particular kernel?

the benefit is like faux sound ...you can control your cpu and gpu and a lot of things ....last update of the ROM that i gave you is only working with costume kernel (t-kernel) so yes you have yo flash ROM then t-kernel and then reboot ....if want there are like cm12.1 ...it doesn't need a costume kernel ...just flash cm12.1 and reboot......so you can choose .....happy flashing
good luck :good:
Soft-bricked the device after I wiped,attempted to install the 12.1 ROM but failed due to it saying its not the right device, and then accidentally restarted not paying too much attention to the yes and no's of CWM. Sony logo starts up but nothing else at present. Trying volume{up, down} + USB but nothing at the moment vibration or light wise. Hopefully this is fixable, not too worried at this point in time unless I should be?
Currently following this thread for instructions. Unless you can advise me on better or even if you have to tell me its straight up gone...

don't be afraid ...you tried to flash cm12.1 that mean you are UBL....flash t-kernel v2.2 twrp via fastboot mode and you will gain recovery to flash again the cm12.1
Fortunately kept calm and have gotten back to having an OS present. I've currently status quo'd back to CM12.
I have PhilZ, can I just use the PhilZ instructions for t-kernal?

Installed t-kernel and AICP. It boots and then gets to optimizing apps. Once it completes the 82 optimizations it goes "starting apps" it reboots... should I faactory reset & wipe the caches and reinstall? Almost there haha.

do as following
,,,,please do a full wipe and then flash AICP and flash t-kernel v3.0 and then reboot
Wiped data&caches, flashed AICP then flashed 3.0 t-kernel. It reaches starting apps and completely freezes instead of rebooting now. waited 15 mins hoping it was really slow but it's frozen. I then wiped and tried to reflash but that particular recovery setting doesn't like the checksum of the t-kernal so doesn't allow installing, so i flashed back to CM11 and reflashed AICP & t-kernel, completely following the steps given.. but once again freezes at starting apps.
Any more ideas? Thank you for all effort given so far!

Once again... wiped entire user + cache and first installed 12.1, then gapps core and finally t-kernel 3.0. It gets to starting apps and freezes. I'm able to flash CM11 or CM12, but that would mean the original problems encountered which makes my phone half -useless. I've tried to boot into safe mode, not knowing if you can do that with an un-optimized android.
It's all getting a little bit weird now. Something is going wrong somewhere, but I don't know.

wiped and attempted to reflash and the installation failed. Next I connected it to my pc and went into fastboot mode and wiped data/cache/system and flashed 12.1. It boots (sign of t-kernal is gone) but has so fa yet to do anything else, the current screen is blank b ut it is on.
I hope this information was useful to you. It seems to me to more up the current ROMs I go, the more they seem broken.

this is far from weird ....the last hope for problems like these ...to start from scratch ....to flash ftf ROM via flashtool and re install recovery then twrp then reflash the ROM (5.1) ..only few users had this problem and solved it with flashing ftf ....sorry man for that but i think you have to do it or stick with cm11 or something
good luck ...if you need any further help i'll help you :good:

i'm sorry i have to go to sleep now ...but first try to flash twrp ....etc...if that didn't help flash ftf ....
good luck mate :good: ....i will see what happened with you tomorrow
