[Q] Bootloop Motorola Logo - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

What my mother did with her Milestone I don't know but everytime I try to boot it, it loops on the Motorola logo. I've tried several things already to fix it but I really need help here.
I've installed open recovery, tried to flash several sbf-files but afterwarrds it keeps rebooting. Last I tried to put on CM6 through apply update in OR but still no succes. So please give me some advice on how to fix this problem.
Kind regards.

Nobody? I just flashed Central Europe sbf-file SHOLS_U2_05.26.3_SIGNED_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806E.0R_PDS003_UCAMS1FRYOQWRTEU_P013_A006_HWp2a_WIG145231_1FF again (since I live in Belgium I believe this is the one) afterwards go into stock recovery and do a factory reset but still cannot boot. I get the white motorola logo and afterwards it reboots.
Anybody some ideas please? Might there be a hardware problem? My mother says she was taking a picture when the Milestone (type MVQ7-334411A11) rebooted and kept on rebooting. Please give me some advice.

Same here
Hi!
I seem to have the same exact problem with my friends phone.
Things i've done:
-Installed several different sbf's. All they do is boot-loop.finally installed GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL and that does the same but i thought i'd do other tweaking with that firmware.
-Installed OR 2.01 which starts up nicely. Tried flushing caches and stuff...
-Got a tip that the pds-partition might be malfunctioning, but i can see the files there just fine from shell and backed them up to the memorycard. Although i dont really have idea that if there some files missing from there.
files that are there follows:
pds/
pds/public/
pds/public/batt_offset_data
pds/public/batt_tuning_data
pds/public/tcxo.bin
pds/public/batt_phasing_data
pds/comm_drv/
pds/comm_drv/mmins_settings.cfg_temp
pds/comm_drv/mmins_settings.cfg
pds/comm_drv/ms_log_control.cfg
pds/comm_drv/cat_log_control.cfg
pds/comm_drv/opprof.txt
pds/wifi/
pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin
pds/opprof/
pds/security/
pds/scim/
pds/lost+found/
pds/bp_nvm/
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS_Subsidy_Lock
pds/bp_nvm/NVM_Daemon_MD5
pds/bp_nvm/FILE_PDS_SUBSIDY_LOCK_DBK_2
pds/bp_nvm/FILE_PDS_SUBSIDY_LOCK_DBK_1
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS_SBCM
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS_IMEI
pds/bp_nvm/FILE_PDS5
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS4
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS3
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS2
pds/bp_nvm/File_PDS1
-i've also tried to get something started that would start bootlogging so i could see what's happening. No luck with that.
typing in shell:
echo 1 > /data/property/persist.service.aplogd.enable
doesn't work. but i think i need CM7 firmware for that?
Well...I'm a bit out of ideas now. You guys have any?

Stuck on Registering after Unrooting

hi everyone. i've been following the forum here for awhile and finally decided to root my brand new NC. i autorooted from 1.1. i saw some things weren't working so i quickly decided to unroot back to factory settings. i unrooted by unregistering the device and turning off the power 8 times. my NC boots up fine, but it gets stuck on the "Registering your Device" page and just remains there with the circle spinning. i think i left it there for more than 30 minutes and nothing happens. has anyone experienced this before? if so, how did you fix it? any help would be appreciated.
sorry if this topic has already been asked - i tried searching but didn't find anything on this specific issue. if there's already a thread, please feel free to share the link with me. thank you!
EDIT: really need some help here... i tried to fix it myself (i know i shouldn't have) and might have made it even worse. i tried to re-autoroot my NC but just completely failed. it was not loading anything anymore, so i tried to unroot again by powering off 8 times. when i restarted, everything looked normal, except the bootloader screen was not stock. it brought me back through the normal tutorial and same thing with it getting stuck on "registering your device". could someone please provide a thorough walkthrough on how to reset to factory settings? i'm seeing all these threads throwing around all these acronyms that i don't understand. seems like i need to try running some clockwork rom but not even sure how to do that. please help!!
Bump, i have just encountered this problem and i need help as well.
Update:
actually just figured it out and heres what fixed my problem, i wasn't doing the factory reset part only the 8 reboot interruptions.

Thanks for your post, even though no one ever helped. I was having the same problem and doing a clear data/factory reset from Clockwork Recover booted from an SD card did the trick for me.

[Q] Galaxy S stuck in boot-loop

Hi guys,
Gone through about 100 threads these last couple of days, but nothing helps, so have to start a new one.
What happened was that the other day my phone started ringing.
The screen however was black, so I could neither see who was calling nor answer the call.
I let it ring out, then I held the power button so it would shutdown.
Tried to restart it, and that's when the fun started.
The phone got stuck in a boot-loop, only showing the Galaxy S logo (not getting to the animated one).
Left it in this loop for several hours, since I've had problems recently with the phone needing to do this cycle 5-10 times before booting up.
This time it wouldn't boot, however.
I've tried putting the phone in a bag of rice for 18 hours, in case of any moisture inside, not helping.
Then I tried recovery-mode, formatting the whole thing, but I got the following error:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Found this thread to try to fix the format error.
Got into download mode, but Odin does not recognize the phone, and I started believing all hope for fixing it without sending it in was gone.
I've also tried applying a couple of update.zip's from the SD-card, just to have tried it, but every package got Signature verifcation-error.
Anyway, when I headed to bed last night I left the phone in the boot-loop, and to my surprice, 8 hours later it had booted into first-time configuration.
YES!!!
Configured the phone with language etc., then all of a sudden the animated Galaxy S logo appeared...
And it appeared again, and again, and again for about 15 min., until I unplugged the battery.
And now I'm back at square one, stuck in the boot-loop (not getting to the animated logo)...
I have the latest versjon of KIES, not that it probably matters.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
What rom were you using? stock or custom? Maybe it has something to do with lagfix if it was activated... im guesing, im not dev just normal user... Maybe try to reinstal usb drivers.
Just use odin 1.3 reflash official rom , everything would be OK.
Not sure about the ROM, bought the phone used... But pretty sure it's stock..
Since Odin didn't recognize the phone, reflashing it with official ROM would be hard...
However, as for the Odin problem, that was caused by a faulty USB-cable...
Used another one, and Odin worked like a charm.
The phone won't start after running through the steps in the thread I mentioned before, but I will try to reflash it with offical ROM now and see how that works.

Not sure about used phone, But if I bought the phone used, I would reflash rom first. Because I do not even know what they done before , reflash offical rom would be fix some problem.

Well, I would have if I knew... But stupid me thought that a phone was a phone.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, a little update here (the problem is kind of solved now):
Flashed the phone with 2.3.3 Gingerbread I found on dkszone, after running the steps in the previous mentioned thread.
And the phone started like a charm.
But after a few hours of configuring etc, I managed to insert the SD-card again, and all hell broke loose again...
Come to think about it, thats what I did yesterday too, so I've come to the conclusion that the SD-card is the main problem...
However, now the phone is slow... REAL slow... Kind of like my 1.5 year old HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WP6.5...
It takes up to 2 seconds to open menu items, keyboard etc.
Is there any way to fix that?
Or should I flash it with another ROM?
You mean the external sdcard? Maybe try to format it...
OK, so this is what I've now figured out:
The phone is damaged...
It seems that the internal SD has gone AWAL, and internal storage has somehow created itself on the external SD-card, thus the phone crashed when I switched cards...
When trying to format the USB-storage, I receive error: SD-card has been removed
So I guess I have to ship the phone off to Samsung ASAP...

[Q] DS7 Unstable keeps crashing

Hello All,
I'm fairly certain there isn't another thread asking this question, if I overlooked it I apologize in advance. Now to the point, I have a dell streak 7 and I have been having some stability issues with it for about the last week. What was happening is I was running Android 2.2.2 and my system would crash randomly eventually it wouldn't start back up. I tried doing a factory restore several times this didn't work so I re-flashed to restore the original file system and I installed the T-mobile system by mistake. I played around with this for a little bit and every thing seemed fine. So I decided to upgrade to 3.2 honeycomb, I flashed the DS7 did all of the set up steps and started reading about rooting the device (I didn't start any of the steps). While it was sitting next to me in sleep mode I noticed it just randomly reset itself and started booting up. I looked around in it and nothing seemed to be changed, so I powered it off and powered it back on to see if it would freeze up and crash again. it didn't so I put it back in sleep mode and kept reading. then the side lights came on and it froze up. I was able to get it to boot by going into recovery mode and then selecting boot normally. So my question is, is this some sort of hardware issue or something that I am doing wrong? I don't think it's hardware but I could be mistaken. Also, has anyone else had an issue like this and if so is there a known fix? I am going to try re-flashing to the original file system again and replace the restore .img and see if this helps. Also, I'm not sure if my DS7 is the mobile version or wifi only version. I entered the service tag at DELL's website and it said I had the mobile version, however it didn't have the t-mobile start up animation before I flashed it the first time and in the sim card slot there is a black piece of plastic or card (IDK which) lodged in there and it wont come out. Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks in advance-Woulfenstien
OK I'm pretty sure i got it solved. what I did was I re-flashed everything. I re-flashed the boot.img, the system.img, and the recovery.img using fastboot and then i re-flashed whole system with nvflash. It's been a couple of hrs. and this has seemed to work so far. I upgraded back to 3.2 honeycomb and rooted the device with no problems so far. If any other issues arise I will post them here along with what i did to fix it. I would also like to thank everyone on this forum who has posted the tutorials, it was a huge help I wouldn't have been able to fix my DS7 with out all of your help.
Thanks again-Woulfenstien

[Q] At wits end!! Please Help.

OK folks, I know some of you are going to jump straight down my throat, but please, back off and stick to the friendly forums that this used to be where anyone would help anyone.
the story so far is that I once loved my Nexus One, I've had it since launch, I have ran Cynogen Mod 7 for a couple of years, I have had MUI roms running, I have played with various kernels, updated radio, upgraded hardware, all was going wonderfully.
the one thing I could never get was full SU!! Heck knows why!!
I then started getting random problems and downloaded the original google frf83 software and flashed the phone via update.zip using amon-ra recovery.
I thought all was well after this, as my phone received 3 OTA updates and now my phone is on...
Android 2.3.6
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel 2.6.35.7-59465-g42bad32 ([email protected] #1)
Build GRK394
I noticed that in the Status (settings) it was displaying my old sim card number, which is not the number for the sim in the phone now. his I thought was odd and that something had gone wrong.
So as most of us would do, I went to boot AmonRa recovery and it wasnt available, it had been overwritten with the default recovery; ok lets just ADB and reflash it, I hadnt used ADB for a couple of years because I did everything through AmonRa's awesome recovery!!
So off I go, install the SDK, all the appropriate packs including the USB driver, just like I did when I originally flashed the phone with the recovery image!
But an old problem came back that I hadnt even been bothered about because I always put stuff on SDcard via a card reader!!
I have had consistent problems with my nexus one for some time now in regards to the USB drivers, no matter what I do the phone will not install and I believe it could be some conflict in the device.
I am running Vista Ultimate (fully registered) and no matter what I do I cannot get the Nexus One to install. It will only display as unknown device, which is absolutely useless.
I have browsed every post and tried everything I have found, and yet nothing is working. I have used devmgmt, I have tried the roll backs, I have tried to install every driver available to get it working. I have uninstalled the device, updated drivers after fresh install attempts, I have even formatted my laptop thinking it may have had a corrupt OS and bought Vista Ultimate.
I am not a complete noob and I have been around these forums for some years, but I never thought I would have to cry out like a 4ucking Noob with such a seemingly simple problem, but it is not simple, I have done everything I can possibly find!!
I must get the USB working in order to get the recovery back, I can access my phones default recovery but it will not work when trying various roms as update.zip!!
I have tried the terminal commands on the phone to install the recovery.img but I do not have SU access and the phone point blank refuses.
I have attempted to change and remove the recovery files reffered that are causing the revert to default recovery, but shock.. I cannot delete because of insufficient permissions. I cannot ADB because the USB driver refuses to install.
So if I cannot change the files due to permissions, I cannot ADB because of USB, I cannot get to Ra's recovery because of bootfiles, I cannot use default recovery to update.zip... I am absolutely losing my mind and I'm going nuts browsing the forums for the second week running, yes I am now on day 12 of trying to fix this problem and at a complete loss...
Can someone please help??
I will even allow remote access to pc because I am that desperate to resurrect my beloved Nexus One.
I also have a Galaxy I9000 without 3 button download mode but that is an entirely different story!!
Please just someone, come to an oldskoolers rescue, and yes PAYMENT will be given to the knight in shiny armour!!
You could try on another computer which doesn't run Vista

Or just use fastboot instead of adb...
His Nexus One isn't recognized by the computer, so that won't help unfortunately. Also, I've never heard of build GRK394..

Install the drivers for fastboot already Jeez and then read How to use android for dummies.

stuck like chuck. HELP!

hi everybody,
I'm stuck!
I' tried everything I can think of, I've search hi and lo and I cant find a fix for my problem. My phone for the last several months has been working flawlessly with twrp/trickdroid but since there dosen't seem to be any more support for trick droid I decided to put another rom on the phone. Now I've never had an issue doing things this way but something is screwed up and I could use someone who is smarter than me help. I wiped the phone and now I cant get my phone and pc to communicate. Everytime I try to adb sideload i get an error stating device not found. twrp recovery is still on the phone and i can still boot into the boot loader if needed. I just cant put my new rom on the phone. I've done everything i can think of, searched everywhere i think possible. this isn't my first android that iv modded but it is the first time i haven't been able to find a solution for my problem. please help!
