I rooted my Cellular South Hero and installed Fresh Hero 2.3.3. Everything was working great for a couple weeks when all of a sudden after ending a call, it started rebooting continuously. I get the HTC logo and the phone vibrates, then a few seconds later, the screen goes dark and it starts over. The bad thing is, it does the same thing in recovery mode. Recovery will start to boot, but then it reboots. The only mode that will not reboot is the one where you hold VOL UP (not sure what it's called). I tried clearing user data by holding Home and Back, but this didn't help. At first, when going into recovery, it said the MISC partition was full. That went away after I cleared the user data. Not sure if it's relevant, but I thought I'd mention it. Please help!
Yea, this belongs in Q&A, not dev.
oh, sorry about that

Hi, I installed this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
and It's simply not up the home screen, I even tried to restart (by pressing the power button a few seconds)
For half an hour or so passed and he still displays the Samsung logo and nothing happens, I'm pretty stressed out right now and I have no idea what to do, It would be great if someone could help me, thanks.
Update: I turned off the phone for the meantime (I took out the battery)
Download and flash ROM from here ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 I recommend first install Gingerbread ROM, as you may need to wipe cache and wipe data, which is dangerous on ICS.After successfull flashing you can update to ICS.
Problem solved, thanks a lot :victory:
I installed CM11 last monday from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658534
Since then I got the issue, that after the phone is in standby for a while, I can't unlock the lockscreen. There is no input possible, just reacts like I'm not touching the screen. If I press the power button again it locks again (screen off), but then it's not possible to even see the lockscreen again, powerbutton not working anymore. The only way to use the phone again is to hold the powerbutton for 10 seconds and reboot then.
I tried to wipe all and flash again, but no change. I tried "cm-11-20140503-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip" from spegelius first, and then "cm-11-20140508-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip" from allram. Wiped everything before flashing, but no luck, still getting that bug.
Sadly I can't post directly into that topic, because I'm new here

I suppose you have Gt-I9295 not US version of the phone?
When you flashed the zip. did u do a factory reset? and format /system /cache?

Yes I got the european version. Before I flashed CM11 I did a "factory reset", wiped cache and dalvik cache. I did that before flashing another rom again. I will try to flash the newest (13th may) version from your gdrive later.

When you on Cm12 there is no TWRP it's the new Cyanogenmod Recovery. You can enter it by pressing the volume down and up button after the Sony logo pops up.
Got the same problem, have been trying many different recoveries, no success. Does anyone have a definite fix?
Also the same for me. Cyanogen logo freeze (or sometimes restart phone) and this for the nightly buids of 201500130, 20150131 and lastest 20150202.
I had to do a fresh wipe with an AOSP rom to install again CM12. The first boot was ok after fresh install but on reboot, the problem was getting back.
I'm going to revert to the 20150128 nightly and look out the next changelog to see if a fix will be available.
Okay. Look at the Cyanogenmod page. In the faq they say. "when the light is purple press volume up button" it works every time http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Honami_Info
Z1 wont boot proplerly - cant get into recovery

I've been trying that for days, and it very rearely works (mayvbe 2 or 3 rimes in as many days). My phone is in a real bad way - about 99.99% of the time its just stuck on the CM boot logo. Very occasionally I can get into recovery, but in order to get into my OS, I actually have to reflash CM. Simple boot from recovery never works.
I've tried installing fotaZ1_2.8.4.img (as suggested by a user on another thread) from fastboot, but can only get into that very rarely too.
I've also tried flashing the boot.img from the last few CM nightlies, but once again no joy.
This is getting real bad, as I've spent days reading threads on here and reflashing / resetting the phone! In fact my fingers are aching from stabbing at those damn power and volume buttons!
If anyone could please help or suggest a solution, I'd be eternally grateful. CM 12 is freaking great...when . if it works... ;-p
cheers
[edit]
Managed to get into TWRP, so decided to just wipe the phone completely, including int SD card. Thankfully TWRP has a file manager, so I could copy my stuff to my ext SD beforehand. Reflashed cm12-20150202 and it seems to be ok now. Done 3 or 4 test shutdowns, as well as reboots and its been booting ok so far. Getting into recovery still seems to be a bit touch and go though, but I can live with that for the time being I guess.
Any news here? I can't get into recovery mode, and my phone is now effectively "bricked".

I upgraded from CM11 to a CM12 nightly (the one with the broken boot animation that hangs). Before upgrading I had TWRP, and could boot into recovery by holding volume down while turning on the phone. This is not working any more. Have tried a lot of different combinations, but nothing seems to work.
Please, if anyone can help, give me a tip.
Btw: my led never lights up, only after a few seconds, the Sony logo shows, then the broken boot animations starts.
What worked for me was to only press volume-up after the Sony logo had appeared and the LED shows purple briefly. I then cleared cache and dalvik and was able to boot.
I already had fotaZ1_2.8.4.img installed, and had rebooted one of the affected CM12 nightlies.

you can enter recovery when you boot the Phone, plugin USB Cable and when the LED shows purple then hold the volume up button, that worked for me.
btw. Bootloop: flash the rom.zip again then it boots. after that install from playstore this Bootanimation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.appublic.cyanogenboot and install this animation. After that boot work fine and you can flash new updates without issue
Thank you very much, both of you. I could not get any of your tips to work, though this morning the strangest thing happened. When i got up, I suddenly heard the alarm ringing from my Z1. It was booted and seemed ok. I have no idea how it booted...
Anyway, now it's working again with todays nightly. Thanks again.
btw: I can now enter the new recovery (twrp is replaced by a CM one) by tapping vol-up while the Sony logo is showing. Rebooting directly into recovery from the OS does not work.
