Hi,
I used Hasoon's all in one tool to successfully unlock the bootloader on my One, and flashed a recovery (TWRP).
When I went to install a kernel (Bulletproof) I messed up and installed the boot.img file from bulletproof instead of loading it through recovery (dumb i know).
Now my phone just constantly reboots itself, it gets to the HTC splash screen for less than a second, and then reboots again. Holding down power + volume down does nothing either.
Can anyone help or suggest anything please?

Try holding just volume down. Do you know how to use ADB? if you time it right a fastboot reboot-bootloader will get you to bootloader or you can do it through the all in one toolkit you will have to close the first window at the right time and it will send the command for you.
And some light reading pertaining to your issue

Tried just volume down and same result, HTC splash screen for less than a second and reboot. I've not used ADB before, can you give me a link to download it? Or, in the all in one tool which command am I using? "ADB Sideload a ROM" from the extras box?

Well looks like it's time to learn.
First thing that just might make this easy. In the all in one under commands there is Erase Cache. Click on that hit the ok button and then close the first window. Next windows will say waiting for device now with a little luck upon one of the reboots it will catch the device and wipe the cache. That should then allow you to hold volume down and get into the bootloader. If not let me know and we will proceed to option 2
Read through those threads and the first one was the closest to my problem.
Tried the Boot into Bootloader and Erase Cache commands from the All in One tool and both just give me "device not detected" errors. Tried them multiple times during the phone booting up, but its not even being detected by my PC.
I can't even turn the bloody thing off it just sits there on my desk buzzing every time to restarts itself.

Sorry watching the google IO man some cool new things are coming :good:
Ok now down to business. I am guessing your computer is all set up and you have drivers as you already installed a recovery. So do to the all in one toolkit then go into the data folder once there hold down Ctrl and shift and right click on empty space. You will get a option to Open Command Windows Here do that. A black dos command box will pop up. type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
it should say waiting for device
Nevermind that's not going to work. Try this when your phone is starting up hold the power button until screen goes black then immediately hold down volume down and don't let go. Try with the phone plugged in to computer and without

I left the phone in the office overnight and it must have drained the battery enough to kill the boot loop. Was able to get to the bootloader screen this morning when I checked before leaving for work.
So reflash recovery you think or should I factory reset it and start again?

I would reflash custom recovery do it a couple times and after that wipe the cache. Power down the device and then turn it back on and go to recovery.
Make sure it has a decent charge on it like 30%, 50 would be best.

Use CWM because at this point you are going to have to sideload the ROM. So find the ROM you want and download it. Then rename it to rom.zip then from the all in one go to side load a rom and in clockwork mod go to the same thing might be under advanced.

Ok cool, will try that when I get home this afternoon. At this stage I just wanted to put the Bulletproof kernel on for the improved battery life and sweep functions, or do I need to install a custom ROM as well? I've got the Bulletproof zip file on my PC so am I renaming that?

Installing a custom kernel on top of an unmodified stock ROM is a very bad idea. You don't have to go full custom like TrickDroid or ARHD, but there are rooted/somewhat modified stock ROMs available to use.

If that's what you originally did then that's what caused this to happen. You can not install a custom kernel on a stock Rom. Unremarked is 100% correct. Also check the Rom to make sure it supports a custom kernel. Trick droid is nice coupled with a custom kernel you can use the HTC logo for a menu button

That is, stupidly, what I did. Wasn't aware I couldn't install a kernel on stock ROM.
So....
From here install a custom ROM via sideload through the all in one tool?
Then install the new kernel?
Been doing some more reading and I think I'll go with the Renovate ROM, so I should just need to install a recovery again and then sideload the ROM?

Yes sir. Make sure to flash the rom and then boot the phone up. Then restart again to recovery and then flash kernel.

Thank you nullkill, looks like the latest build of the ROM doesn't support Bulletproof kernel anymore (or its unstable if used) so I'll just flash the ROM I think, or do I need to install the stock kernel after flashing the ROM too?
Sorry for all the questions :cyclops:

No problem. You should be able to flash the rom and be good. If you have any issues make sure to wipe the cache.
Flashed Renovate and all back up and running now, thanks for the help and suggestions.
I have a LG Thrill that is stock ICS. If I boot the phone and check all the buttons the buttons work, however when I try to boot into recovery the phone just boots or turns off. I hold the 3d and volume down button then push the power button until a vibration and lg logo then release the power button. I've tried to go thru adb to reboot into recovery but I cannot see the device in adb.
Have you actually installed cwm recovery?

No, I'd love to be able to install CMW or TWRP but the guides I have found all say that I need to be able to boot into recovery.
You can install CWM (or TWRP) by flashing it with Fastboot, but you will need to place a recovery image file named "cwm.img" in the CWM folder in the Fastboot pack. Some available packs (check the Optimus 3D dev section, same device, Euro flavor) have the image files already included, I think.
The method I have mostly used is to flash xbsall's rooted ICS with recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753
His rooted ICS uses a type of recovery that is in system partition (not recovery partition). So if you want that, or you do not want to flash your device, use Fastboot (or one of the customized variants)
First, thanks for the help. I now have superuser available and couldn't be happier. The reason I decided to do this was that I couldn't get the wifi to switch on and even with the super user access it won't. Should I assume that this is a problem with the phone or is this something that would work if I were to roll back to gingerbread?
It's most likely a problem with the ROM/kernel you're using. I'd switch to another.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
I can't say thanks enough for holding my hand so far. Is there a good guide that you would recommend for me to look at. Some of the ones I've viewed here have different information for each of them. Is the reason that thus phone is so different from what I'm used to due to the omap processor?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
I had the wifi problem a while back; it was due to me installing a custom ROM without doing required wipes in recovery before installing it. Not sure how you got to ICS, but if you follow the guide I linked above it should solve your problem. You don't have to install the custom ROM if you don't want. Just stop after installing rooted ICS. Be advised that driver install for pc is fiddly, hence the detailed install instructions.
Can anyonne throw me a line here. When I install the omap drivers for the phone (step f4.1-4.5) the phone still keeps disappearing from the device drivers. Even disconnecting and reconnecting with the volume up button pressed isn't helping. Any ideas? I've tried uninstalling all of the drivers, using system restore to roll back, different cables. It used to work, now it doesn't any ideas?
If you mean the way it keeps blinking on and off, be ready with the mouse. Watch for when it appears and quickly right click on it, you kind of have to catch it. Then point it to the driver in the Fastboot folder (not the one in the omap4flash installer folder) as described. Once that is done you unplug phone, then replug, volume up, and let the two LG drivers install. All LG stuff on pc should be uninstalled and pc rebooted before beginning with all this. Also, some antivirus software can mistake the driver as being malicious and delete it when unraring the Fastboot folder, without it notifying you. And if you have a custom bootloader on your phone you may need to skip running omap4flash installer; they seem to not agree somehow.

The problem is that I can not connect the phone so I cannot flash the KDZ, do you have a good tutorial how I can flash it?
Have you already got CWM installed on your phone? If you have you need to do power on and volume up, not volume down so put a ROM on the SD card first, full wipe and flash a new ROM and gapps.. If that doesn't work then you need to try get adb access, and run commands such as adb reboot recovery etc, otherwise you need to reflash the .kdz of stock, if you search you'll find it!

@bionicsquirell It is volume DOWN + Power button don't spread misinfos.
@memo357 did you try holding Volume down while plugging into the PC? See if it will light up and show new devices on PC, then start searching here and you'll figure it out. If nothing happens, you're in too deep I'm afraid..

Volume UP still works to boot to recovery, just tried it now, its not misinfo ^.^
If your bootlooping maybe you could use adb to reboot to recovery!
I had this problem. I had to flash the stock boot loader on. Google search should have an lg exe for it. And instructions. I found it pretty easy and once back it should work. You will have to root again and just make sure you unlock your bootloader before applying a custom recover. The exe is called LG mobile support tool, the exe to restore the bootloader.

Hi everyone
After a lot of reading i decided to install a ROM. Now i was able to try to but none of them worked, so i ve been trying now for 3 days. I think i did it all as stated in this forums, it launched but never go to really open the OS, used to get stuck at the motorola or nexus logos or what ever logo from the different ROMs i downloaded.
I was able to go back to the original ROM but today im not being able to do so...
What can i do? Im at recovery and im able to restore boot but at system it says:Error while restoring /system!
I had it backedup at pc so i have also removed the one at sd card and tried with the one from PC.
What can i do (that doesnt involve getting another phone)
You can try RSDLite to flash back stock ROM just be careful and flash right ROM, otherwise you can brick your phone. You can't flash custom ROMs with RSD.

Boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot?
You have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed? I assume you have both since you were trying to install custom ROMs.
I have tried to the fastboot... im trying AP fastboot and theres where i am stuck right now.
Yes custome recovery and unlocked bootloader there. I had the phone moved to another couple of roms but the never loaded correctly so i went back to my original ROM, i tried a few other ROMs and none worked so this time i try to go back but it doesnt come back anymore... :laugh:
Try downloading PhilzAdvanced CWM Recovery. It is based off the latest CWM and should be able to flash your backups or ROMS. Maybe not your backups unless you made them with a CWM based recovery, but it should get you booted up.

1. Read the Myth Tools OP
2. Download Myth Tools
3. Download Philz CWM
4. Download a stock fastboot
5. Place the fastboot zip and the extracted recovery/cwm.img in their respected folders
6. Run Myth's executable and follow the instructions
7. If that doesn't work then read the faqs here and in the RAZR HD forums, all your questions have been answered already.
Still with same issue...
Phone is not recognized by the computer (tried 3 different laptops)
Cannot download the Drivers as its an automated process that begins when you connect the phone...
Does anyone knows an alternative to install AHD drivers ?

It finally works
It works... i think somehow the recovery stopped working at some point... now with Philz phone was recognized by pc and i was able to use Myth tools to do the job. I think this will be my last Motorola...
Things to highlight:
1 i did read a lot before doing anything, still somehow screwed up, did read lots before asking here, still needed to ask... got answers, still needed to ask more... it was fun as everyone at work said: " its bricked fool buy a new one and stop playing to be good at something" but hell yeah its fixed!
2 i will try again to install another rom, i wont give up damn it!
3 i might begin with my wife Note 1, its old so its ok to brick it ha ha ha
4 damn it guys you are cool... wish i were 10% of you guys!
5 I think instead of all those different options out there we should recommend only to use the myth tools, its a complete package and its easy to use even with examples for newbies like me.
Again thanks and questions on friday after i brick it again e he he he...
The other stuff is there so you can understand what the automated stuff is actually doing.

Ok so i have started the process again. I cant tell what i am doing wrong. I have flashed 2 different roms and none worked... its like im missing something.
I root the device, unlock bootloader... set the recovery with cwm... flash the rom... and it goes to moto logo and then black screen... am i missing something?
I did the exact same for the stock rom and it did work... also i did it all exactly the same using now myth tools... so any ideas? Should i leave the phone alone because its just simply not going to work or am i missing anything?
I have root and unlocked bootloader. I did an update of lg and thereafter blocked, do not know if this was the problem.
Install the CWM by room (room enox iodak08 +), I can enter the bootloader, installing, when reboot the sistem entering the boot but does not start with the system and back to CWM after being taken. I can not get into the room and I can get into CWM. I've done factory reset and wipecache, I returned instal to the room, and nothing, enters the boot but does not start with the room.
I'm in a tricky situation, I stopped to have a mobile phone and I stick one paperweights. Need a little help.

It has been stated time and time again that your must NEVER carry out a vendor OTA on a rooted or modified device. It causes a problem 90% of the time as the OTA has no flexibility to deal with something it isn't expecting to find - so you get exactly what you have.
Just be thankful that it is almost impossible to hard-brick our device or you really would have a paperweight. Instead you just need to search and read a little to get it back up and running.

You need to get your PC to recognise the phone, thats the first step in this repair (unless the usb port is broken, there's no reason why it wont recognise, whats your OS and version, usb 2 or 3?)
why not put cm10.1 on a microsd and flash it from there?

If you turn on the mobile it goes into CWM recovery. The problem is that the Phone was locked into CWM recovery. And I have no way to recognize the phone on PC. Is there any way to unlock the CWM recovery v6.0.4.5?

cmon, pay some attention you don't need to turn on the phone, or boot into the system itself to boot into s/w mode. now, there are tons (like 3 or 4 guides, plus many other topics opened by people with exact same problem like you) threads that tell you what to do (hint: figure out how to boot into s/w mode), so i'll let you search around for the guide.
I suggest using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682146
It's easier, faster and safer than flashing a .kdz file. (Plus, it tells you how to get into the s/w upgrade mode!)

I think this method also flashes a kdz, but does it automatically for you. But yeah, this one is easier than manually flashing. Thanks for posting it
Also, thiy method will format internal sd card. My suggestion is to do a data/system format from cwm before you go in to flashing a kdz, either manually or automatically, so you don't end up with formatted internal sd card
A big thanks to SimonTS, JoinTheRealms, Flying_Bear and balloon27. This is a fantastic forum and you guys are spectacular. Due to professional reasons only going back to the forum after seven days, I go to the sea and I'm without net. Got this getaway just to thank you for the care provided, the mobile phone is the same and will just touch it after a week. Once again, thank you very much.
I just make the process advised by balloon27 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2682146). I have my 4X hd back .... yupi, yupi, yupi, yupi, yupi, ..... you guys are just the greatest. Once again a big thank you all of you. The 4X HD is working like a charm, a thank-you to the forum.
