For some odd reason everytime I try to install the cyanogen rom v4.0.4 I believe its one of the stable ones, I do everything to root my fone and install the rom and my fone says its done w the updates and to reboot it and when I do it stays @ the g1 screen. Now I take the battery out and press the cam and end buttons to reinstall the dreaimg to take it back to rc29 state. When I power it up it works just fine the lil android dude pops up and i put in my info and then just redo the steps to the cyanogen rom and for some reason my fone will install everything I will assume properly and i go to reboot it and it stays on the tmobile g1 screen.
I need help! I have tried and tried and Idk what to do now.
This all started bc I deleted something from the cm updater and my fone hasnt worked since...if ne one can help me plz email me @ [email protected]....
Thanx!

try flashing another build. or wait about 15 maybe 20mins and see if goes away. or just do wipe... or i bet its your sd card try getting to the point where it hangs take out the sd card and then turn it on again.
The first boot after each flash or dalvik-cache dump will take a long time. Just be patient.

Yes a real long time, right fingerlickin. lol
But if you loaded RC29 back then your gonna have to reroot.
I would suggest wiping if you issue isn't fixed by waiting. I've had to wipe a few times jumping between Experimental and Stable builds mainly because of big Donut differences in the build's.
Fixed???
I think it may have fixed it self, I had my friend look @ it and I had taken the sd card out of it and showed him what happened and he left it alone and it came up w/ an update now he did and its working now like normal...SOoO im scared to try again jus bc i dont wanna f*** it up again but Im stubbern and w/ the info ive learned so far on all these sites I just may do it all over again.
Use THIS guide next time.

Hi,
I recently bought a X1 (second hand), and for several weeks it worked fine.
But the last week it keeps on restarting.
First i did a hard reset, then i installed hard-spl and flashed the phone with the newest Christian Rom (WM6.5). And still its rebooting.
Even when i'm not doing anything, it will reboot on it's own...
Not all the time, but approx 5 till 10 times a day.
Enough to get me crazy!
Please help.
I have searched the forum and found a few messages with the same problem, but no solutions.
TIA.
Roy
Maybe you should try out the MTTY tool? Search it a bit here and you'll find how to use it on the Xperia.. If that fails then I suppose its a hardware issue??

Thanks, but i can't figure out how this works.
Reading the forum, it looks like a tool for solving connecting and booting problems.
But thats not my problem...
The X1 simply reboots now and then. This mornig i installed the newest cristian clean rom, and it worked for a few hours. And then it restarted 5 times in a hour.
HELP! i don't know what to do.
TIA!

Yahh I've been getting this too recently, no idea why though as its been working fine the first few months with the touch x rom, haven't changed any software significantly in that time, but it will reboot seemingly randomly a couple times a day, but only when I'm not using it weirdly enough.
I'll try these suggestions and hopefully it may help.

Hi RedruM. I'm sorry to hear you have the same problem, but i'm glad i'm not alone in this anymore!
I found a stock rom yesterday and flashed it, and for allmost a day it worked fine.
But this mornig it restarted several times.
When i get home from work i will try the MTTY solution.
I hope you can figure out whats wrong. Please let me know.
Can't get mtty to work on my W7 computer...
any other idea's?
I have installed several roms, hard-spl'ed and stock-spl'ed...
Yesterday i had a good feeling with a stock rom from Vodafone and it worked!
Untill this morning... It began to restart again, and again and again...
Help?
:'(
Oke, got the mtty tool working on my XP laptop.
So i did this:
1 - Format memory card (fat32)
2 - Copy stock rom to card
3 - Do not insert card in phone yet
4 - Uncheck usb connect in Active sync
5 - Connect phone to pc
6 - Restart phone holding volume down and power button (tri collor screen)
7 - Start MTTY
8 - Get cmd prompt
9 - Type commands:
set 14 0
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8
10 - Disconnect phone from pc
11 - Remove battery
12 - Insert memory card with rom
13 - Insert battery
14 - Restart phone holding volume down and power button (tri collor screen)
15 - Press power button to start update
16 - Wait for Update Complete - UPDATE SUCCESS
17 - Remove battery
18 - Remove meory card
19 - Insert battery and restart phone
20 - OS is installing
So far so good.
First thing my X1 does when customizing is..... RESTARTING!
What am i doing wrong?
Looks like the problem gets worse...
Multiple restarts in short time.
Rom doesn't matter... Stock or custom, it will restart.
Also the SPL doesn't matter. Hard-SPL or Stock-SPL, restarting...
Is there anybody out there who had the same problem and solved it?
Any help would be great!!!
Thanks!
I recently bought this Nexus off eBay and it worked fine.
Owner said it had problems with the SD card, but it seemed to be working, for they said it wouldnt read, when it does.
Anyway, it had cyanogen mod 6.1.1 on it, and I hate the setup...so i changed roms. That was a success, but when i flashed a sense rom thru clockwork(most updated) it said:
E:Error in /sdcard/N1Sensation_v0.4.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Now, when i flash any roms, whether it says it installed correctly, it doesnt change anything. Now it's stuck at the 4 color x with the unlock icon. Any advice is good advice!
In my hboot, it says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.35.0017
MICROP-0b15
TOUCH PANAL-SYNT0103
RADIO-5.00.00.04
Oct 12 2010, 14:33:16
HBOOT
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I fixed the issue with why it failed, was my fault, didnt partition the card...but i was flashing a stock rom and it said complete and when i rebooted it stayed at the X and then powered off. Since then has never turned on. I don't know what to do. Nothing will turn it back on. I have a universal charger that charges the battery and it said the battery is full. I need help!
Ok lets see here try this plug in the charger then pull the battery place it back in wait a few seconds and repeat until you see the splash screen (the static X). This could get the phone to at least boot.
But just to check did you flash a radio in all that stuff??

That did not work. I work at a cellphone repair store, but im yet to open it up. But i flashed a sensation rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083035
After then i got stuck on the X
Then i used... well i cant find the link, but it's PureGoogleMod.
From what I saw, there was no radio or kernal being flashed. I just know i flashed a rom, it said completed, then went to the X, rebooted, but never turned on. And ive tried other batteries.

Try flashing CM7. Also...before you do...you may want to search for a format.zip from a member named temasek. It'll wipe your phone...clean. Real clean. Then flash CM7. try that.
also....those sense roms sometimes take at least 5 minutes to boot. Sometimes it'll stay on the X screen for 5 minutes or it'll stay on the bootanimation screen for 5 minutes. FYI.

I can't flash anything. Phone wont react to anything anymore. Hoping one of my family members can fix it. But if I get it on I will try that.
I am pretty sure i waited long enough, but who knows. I didn't partition my card, which may have been the problem. And also it was S-On....which i thought was odd when it had a custom firmware.
Unlock bootloader. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe everything. Flash rom.
Why do you guys keep suggesting software stuff when it's probably a hardware problem he can't get the phone to boot up so he can't do any of that.
Although there is one thing I want you to try before your family take a crack at it to take it apart and what not, it's a long shot but it's your last chance if it's software. Hold down trackball and press power keep holding trackball for another 5-10 seconds (better to long then to short) then connect it to the computer via USB you could see a popup notification saying that it's looking for driver software if you do then it's software and we need to reflash everything and might need to unlock the bootloader. Now if you don't see a popup notification I would still go check in the device manager and check for an unidentified device probably in other (it should be extracted so that you can see it).
If this doesn't work then sorry but I think it's a brick
Because in order to find out if its truly a hardware problem you need to try every software fix first.
Op mentioned nothing of trying fastboot as well. Software fix is free hw is not. That is why we suggest software fixes.

Let me remind you guys, THE PHONE WONT TURN ON AT ALL REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DO. I can post a YouTube video to show everything. It'd be very random for it to be hardware because it just turned off and will not turn back on. If there is any software like an RUU out there, that would help, if not, ill have to buy a bottom piece and warranty it out. But I'd feel bad because that isn't the right thing to do.
I don't expect you guys to fix it and I and very thankful of your help! But the phone won't turn on at all. So telling me to flash roms doesn't work. Imagine it as flashing a rom with the battery out of your phone. I am wondering if there's an adb way or something to get it to turn on and restore to stock?
With all that said, any help is amazing help and I am very grateful that this isn't a post I have to bump! Thank you so much, when I go on the PC, ill thank the helpful posts
Sent from my (finally) permanent root Sensation 4G
Then it is a brick if it won't turn on at all. The entire getting stuck at the x thing confused me to think it was powering on.
You have me confused sir, I'm not quite sure what good it is your looking for a RUU for. If the phone truly won't turn on/go past the X screen and you have it on a charger with no LED notification, then the phone is bricked. When you said you flashed a Sensation rom, I truly hope you just meant a Sense rom. If you can still get to the bootloader screen then you are not bricked and should retry everything from scratch.

Even before I Rooted, it's a minimum of 2 minutes from I press the power button to the lock screen coming on.

Think I'm on the latest. I'd say 90% of the time it doesn't boot at all and I have to hold power,
volume up and down to reboot, then as I said it's 2 minutes before its usable

I think you need to flash the software again, because it does sound like a software related issue. the fact that it doesnt boot, something isnt functioning correctly. you are one update behind but the newest update is not yet available in the uk.

no worries your welcome: you have 2 options, you can download sony's pc companion and do a repair or you can use flashtool to flash the firmware. If you decide to go the flashtool way heres what to do:
1. Download flashtool from here http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
2. Install the downloaded program to your C drive.
3. Next you need to get a firmware, which you can get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191.
4. Save the firmware to where the flashtool installed, should be here c:/flashtool/firmware.
5. go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328 and read from part 4, it tells you how to use flashtool
hope that helps.
What a difference this has made to my phone.
Not only does it boot up in about 20 seconds, it's so much faster in general.
Again, thanks for your help mate
Hi.
I am using a N910W8 from wind mobile.
I got this phone not too long ago.
My last rom used was cm12.1. Nightly 2016 04 26
A few days ago, it started to hang, I did a system format via recovery and swiped fix permissions (huge mistake)
It booted up and I was installing my apps by play store when the phone hanged.
And now, my phone would only turn on if I pulled the battery out for a couple of minutes. My phone would keep freezing if I tried to install or rom, any rom.
It is unable to boot. Not even to the logo.
It would freeze if I basically turned it on for more than 30 seconds, in recovery or download mode.
Is my device bricked?
I am open to all suggestions and recommendations.
Boot into twrp and wipe EVERYTHING at least 3 times (I do 5 lol) re-flash rom and see if that works.
If it didn't fix your problem, Odin back to stock (use any stock firmwear from sammobile i.e. Rogers/Bell/Telus ect).

I have tried wiping everything more than 3x, sometimes it freezes while wiping. It freezes while flashing via twrp and it freezes while flashing via Odin.
Sounds like a main board problem.

Honestly you're gonna have to keep your eyes peeled for a used one to pop up on kijiji or something. Maybe look for ones with broken screens to keep costs low.
You could try eBay as well.
But before you do all that, maybe try a different battery ??

You device is just a soft brick, nothing major, 1) you can use Kies to restore the firmware, 2) you can use ODIN to restore the firmware .
firmware can be download at SamMobile

in Kies, try firmware recovery, when asked enter your phone information (remember, all information should be in CAPITAL LETTERS)
and then when ready put your phone in DOWNLOAD mode.
