My sister transferred the android files and ran the install on my touchpad without checking to see if it was in developer mode (I don't know if that is relevant) after she ran the install it came up with an error, turned off, and now it is stuck at the hp logo when you first turn it on.
When I hold the power button the screen turns off, when I hold it again it turns on but it's stuck at the logo.
We tried webos doctor but it was getting stuck at 8%
any suggestions?
Sound like you have corrupted USB partition.
Go here. Happened to me. It worked!

Will not pass the HP logo
I have a touchpad that is stuck on the logo and will not do anything except charge and deplete that charge. I was attempting to install CM10 on this pad, after being successful with numerous others it was just a normal walk in the park. I had just recently used the cm software on my personal pad and it works perfect. I did the install as normal, at the end the pad began to boot up and stayed in the logo screen. I have attempted to use the debrick and other methods of repair to no avail. I would like to fix this problem prior to the complete end of HP support in January 2015. Thanks so much for any and all assistance in my endeavor to fix this pad.

Hello All
I did search the forum and still not answer for the stranger reboot loop.
I got a phone call, and answered it. The reception was crappy and hear no voice. I then looked at the phone to see if call had dropped and it was frozed on the incoming call screen. I then pulled the battery and pressed the power button to turn on the phone and It would not power on. After multiple battery pulls and many many power button presses, still nothing. It was like it was out of battery. It was stitting on the home charger before i left the house. Prior to this the phone worked fine. Over the past week or two I had to do a battery pull may be 3 times.
I got to my car and plugged it into the charger and the orange charge led came on, on the front of the device. I then pressed the power button and it vibrate once as normal and then went to the multi-colored nexus "X." he screen went black and then vibrated once again and and was back at the mulit-colored "X." Then the loop starts.
In between the restarts I try to get it to boot into the bootloader by using the "vol down and power" and the "trackball and power button" and the white screen for the boot loader flashed for a milisecond the goes to black. As long as I hold the "vol down" button the while bootloeader or recovery screen flashes every 4-5 sec for a milisecond. As soon as I let go of one of those button, it automatically goes to the full reboot loop.
THis all happens when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as i unplug it, it goes back to the power button not responding. Again it acts as if it has no battery power. But it is in the 90%.
So i am unable to do any other step as in reflashing, and or doing a recovery.
ANY IDEAS any one.
I was running Cyanogen RC3. the latest rom with amon RA 1 7 1, korean radio 5.0.8
It was running perfectly up till today. when it went into its loop.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME
THanks in advance

Plug it in to the USB, adb reboot recovery, reflash rom. Or even wipe and reflash if needed.
Sounds like it could be hardware the way you have to hold the keys down and you said it wasn't responding to the power button press.
ok thanks, ill give it a try.
here is my only issue. I am not using my original computer Mac. I just sent it out to apple for repair. So i am using my companies computer. I need to set up the AndroidSDK to be able to talk to the nexus. Since the phone will not turn on i can not load the drivers. and ive tried every way and it has not installed and i cant check because it wont stay on. it just goes to the loop. and it wont turn on if its not plugged to a power source.
Any ideas or suggestion.
SOrry I am an noob, so could you please be specific in your instructions.
I as of right now have insalled the Android SDK and i am unable to see the serial number (working on an old dell, running XP sp3) because it wont turn on.
It cant manually install the drivers because I cant turn the phone on to specify the drivers.
and
I using USBDeview, the phone also has to be on to erase all HTC previously installed drivers. i think. but there were none in the usb log...i think becuase they didnt install...agains because it would not power on...:-(
any ideas...please
DD
Also
Sorry excuse me if its a sort of a duhhh question...
even if i am able to load the device bridge, if the phone will not boot can i still flash another rom, or do a recovery. The phone is not getting past the Multi-colored "X" ???

It should still read the commands when it's trying to boot. You don't need to turn the phone on at all to be able to install the ADB drivers, they are independent of each other.
As strange as it started, is a strange as it went.
This morning open the phone to pull the sd and the sim to put it in a throw down phone. I replaced the battery and cover and just hit the power button. The phone does a full boot and it appears to be working properly. the sd card and sim are fine. I the odd thing is i did this multiple times yesterday and last night. I pulled both sim and sd, replaced the battery and tried to boot with the same issues as named above with nothing different.
I left the phone on charge last night and it was charging for close to 8 hours and it was still showing the orange charging light.
So after it booted this morning, and i checked everything. It showed the same amount of charge as yesterday, right before it froze, which was 75%. So that is another strange occurance.
I plan on reflashing the rom and seeing how things go.
I thank you for your assistance and time.
appericate you helping out a clueless noob.

I bought one of the refurb'd bionic's a couple months ago. I've rooted and masked the wifi tether, but nothing else, no custom ROMs or anything. phone's been working great for the past seveal weeks since those changes were made, several reboots, etc. no problems until last weekend.
I randomly found my phone stuck on the "dual core" screen one morning. it must have rebooted overnight and been that way for several hours as it was quite hot. I did a battery pull and tried to turn it back on, got nothing. plug it in to the charger, nothing, no leds, nothing. several battery pulls later, still nothing. try to enter fastboot/bootloader by pressing power + volume up/done, nothing. plug it into the computer, nothing.
I'm sorta fearing its been hard bricked (though I have no idea why... i wasn't loading ROMs), except, the other day, after leaving the battery out all night, I was able to get it to turn on, it booted up to the home screen, but before it was usable, rebooted and was stuck on "dual core" again. messing with it some more, I eventually got to the bootloader screen. I wish I had siezed that moment, but i didn't. Messed with it some more yesterday, saw the 'dual core' screen again, but couldn't get it into fastboot. its very hit or miss and I can't do it consistantly, but on rare occasion, it does seem to want to come back to life.
any advice on what happened? where to go from here? and if it can get it back into fastboot? I'm hoping i can and rsdlite will recognize it and I'll try loading 902 fxz back on it, but sure could use some advice to save this phone... no insurance and it was a refurb thats been rooted, I don't think verizon will be too much help.
THanks

Try this
Little known hidden key (actually button) sequence: press and hold both volume up & down then hold the power button ten seconds (five should work, but ten always gets it). You should boot into fastboot mode, then flash 902 using a USB cable. You do NOT need to delete data! Check the batch file and REM out or remove any line that says it will. Worst case, Motofail after that will give you access to your latest CWM backup, assuming you have one, just restore that once you have root.
What he said and also you may need to charge your battery.

It could just be a dying phone, I came across an Atrix basically in the same situation. The radio in it had died, so the only way to boot the phone was to skip booting the radio, but if you hit the phone application it would crash the phone.
So I can't boot my phone. Previously stable h811, unlocked bootloader running latest 20i Extreme 3.3 MM with G4 Tweaksbox. I have a Qi/NFC sticker on the back, but which has worked flawlessly and was not in use when the phone died. Here's what happened and what I have attempted.
Problem began when phone simply went black. The only thing running was Maps, which had a route displayed but was not in navigation mode. The screen went dark like normal, and when I went to wake the phone, nothing happened. I was in the car and tried plugging in the car charger and did not get a charge light. Pulled the battery and was unable to get a response. The phone and battery were quite warm.
When I got home, I tried a different battery, and the screen turned on to the LG initial boot screen, but nothing else happened.
After many battery pulls and attempts to boot into recovery, I tried it with the phone plugged into the computer. Finally, it showed the charging screen and light, and after several more attempts- pulling the battery and inserting it, then powering on, it appeared to be booting, (boot animation started, but then looped and froze on the initial boot screen (with bootloader state: bootloader unlocked in the upper corner). After another round of attempt/battery pull, it booted all the way up, but at that point I had my sim pulled. Pulled the battery and tried to restart and it froze on the initial boot screen again. Haven't been able to get into recovery at all, can't get into download, can't boot past the initial LG screen. Sometimes it loops, sometimes it just hangs. Nothing I do pressing combos of buttons, plugged into computer or unplugged, seems to change anything. The very farthest I've gotten is the breathe blue light before the boot animation, but then it looped. Now it's boot looping plugged into the computer.
Any ideas? I'm at a total loss.

Black screen of death here too
Yesterday, I was using Chrome, site loading, screen just went black. I had about 1/2 battery at the time. I figured maybe the battery was just reporting wrong. When I got home, swapped batteries, same issue. I've been able to get into recovery and attempt a factory reset a couple of times (after many frustrating attempts.) The phone seems to only be able to be powered on for about 30 seconds before it goes black again. I'm going to attempt to fix with download mode now. If anyone else has solved a similar issue, any tips would be appreciated.
Hardware appears to be at fault!
Check this out, people!

Spread the word. Sounds like this is our problem. Apparently affecting mostly models with serial numbers starting 505xxxxx... which is what mine is. Called LG and they issued an RA# and shipping label to send it to them for service. I'm a little concerned since I didn't buy mine through a carrier, but this seems more like something of a soft recall than strictly a warranty issue, so I'm hoping they fix it no questions asked. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.
Same thing happened to me today. My phone randomly shut off and it won't boot. Its stuck at the Android logo. I wasn't messing around with it. Just normal use (Snapchat, youtube). I tried booting into recovery but it just goes back to the android screen LG logo and keeps looping. I at least want to wipe the phone before I send it (personal info).
Same here. Mine has serial number starting 505, was purchased back at end of 5/2015 with not problems until this. I filled out the warranty repair form on LGs website and they sent me an RMA with label to get it fixed. I sent it in, they sent it back, and the only thing I see is on one sheet they printed out and included in the package said 'replaced board'. However, when I started up the phone it looked like new initialization with xx of yy apps initializing and then it began bootlooping with the LG splash screen. So frustrating!
So, this time I contacted t-mobile via their online chat, and did a warranty exchange through them. They will send me a replacement LG G4 next day ups air and I will send them the defective one for them to claim warranty themselves. We'll see where this goes. I might just take the replacement unit and do a tmobile jump exchange to another device. I wanted to wait for the new line of HTC nexus phones that are rumored for this year (and was loving the LG 4 until it died), but I might need to just jump twice this year and go for something like the new Samsung S7 of new LG G5 now and then again switch to HTC nexus once that comes out.
Sent mine to LG, and they fixed under warranty with no questions asked. Got it back within a week. All good now.
Hello,
Today my phone suddenly froze. It happened before so i didn't care much about it and left phone for some time. Unfortunately, I'm not able to boot system anymore, because phone turns off right after first white HTC logo screen. When I boot into recovery only up and down buttons work, pressing on/off button causes phone freeze.
Phone is rooted (ROM - insertcoin-7.1.3), since few months and till today it was all working fine. Conecting it to laptop it was recognized as RELINK device (but it doesnt work anylonger) so I think it might be over. Any idea what to or what steps perform to bring it back to live?
Hi, so I got an A2 which has been submerged in water for a while. I was not turning on at all (just showing the white led light blinking), so I bought a new USB part and battery for it, replaced it, and now it seems to react.
However, it keeps switching between the charging logo for a second, then vibrates and shows the Android One logo (this switch goes on and on forever). I have tried the button combo to go into recovery, but as soon as the Android recovery boot logo appears, it'll still timeout into the charging logo.
Does anyone know what may be going on? Or what component to replace? (the phone was only days old when it accidentally got soaked, so everything is new and it's a shame to just throw it away)
