Something similar to this happened to me, and a hard reset wouldn't work. I had to send it back to AT&T. Sorry man, hope you have better luck than I did.

have you tried a hard reset, press down 2 softkeys and stick in reset button and release before letting go of the 2 soft keys. then follow on screen instructions ?
more info needed though ie can you access the bootloader, have you previously put a hard spl on your phone and if so which version.
god reading here on how to get phone back up and working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486 and here too
i have the version from att
Ok now I got it to stop restarting but now its stuck

From your response I'd say your best option if a hard reset does not work would be to see if you can access the bootloader screen ( press camera button and soft reset ) it looks like three colours on your phone. If you can then download an original rom for your phone and follow the instructions to place it on your phone.
Anyone have any better idea's
back in an hour let me know how you got on
That's the only conceivable idea probably. After you go into bootloader mode, flash the stock ROM and then if you have hardspl, install the custom ROM that you prefer.
Well i guess i can kiss all my #'s goodbye...you know what.....I think I want a custom rom...anyknow know where i can go to get a good one

You should always have your PIM either backed up or on your SIM.
Look in my sig for your request.

Dont go custom yet mate, try a stock rom and get it up and running first. Then take your time to read about soft / hard spl's and radios etc before diving in with a full custom rom. Believe me its worth it to understand everything first
AND READ THIS FIRST http://sakajati.com/forum/index.php/topic,3.0/prev_next,next.html#new
Thank you guys for your help....I downloaded the att rom from the htc website and i got my tilt running like new.....and I got all my #'s back ...looks like outlook does a good job hehehe

DOWNLOAD timemachine.cab, go back a few days, and don't make the same mistake.

I guess.......and next time when you wanna root etc. just have the patience and read everything that is written here.
Never the less some phones are more durable in that matter ( i don't know why ). Some phones are like butter, 1st attempt and you are rooted. And with another you sweat like a pig and even then you can't do it right :laugh:
well
Well,
I hope it'll get better
thanx
Before bringing your phone to service you could try:
- a factory reset. Maybe the unsuccessfull rooting attempt has messed up something you can fix this way.
- flashing a RUU and see if the issue remains. This usually sorts out...

[Q]How to unbrick?

OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!
Try connect phone to charger and we will see.
thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:
You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?
1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it
If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.

Bad problems with my bold n1

My bold n1 has had problems since day one. When I lock the screen, it turns off on its own and sometimes works with the black screen. If anyone knows how to solve this please help.
And I can't send it for guarantee because I live outside the States

Question Mi11 stuck on bootloop

Hello guys. Hope y'all are doing fine. I'M NOT ! I've got a problem with my Mi 11. So, at first, my phone was telling me that there was too many files on it and that there was no space anymore to add more things on it. Which is okay. Then, to resolve that problem, I tried to uninstall an app which made my phone go black and then got to that ''Recovery Menu''. I tried everything ! I triedd Rebooting, so I go on Reboot but then it goes back to Recovery Menu. I tried removing the SIM card, I tried to ''Connect with MI Assistant'' but the app won't recognize my phone. I tried to go on Fastboot with the Volume and On/Off button but it stays frozen on that image of the russian rabbit. I tried holding the volume buttons while the phone was restarting, doesn't work. I tried to "Safe Mode', but it doesn't work. The volume buttons are working well. I even tried cleaning my phone to see if some dirt got stuck in it. I tried tapping on my phone. I've tried to put it in the freezer. I tried to let it lose its battery and then plug it in, still didn't work. I don't wanna lose my data... There are extremely precious things in there that I cannot afford to lose... I'm begging for help, friends ! Please help me !
)I know there has been many topics like this one, but I've already tried everything I've read
I'd like to make Mi PC suite work so I can save everything... Or I'd just like to get my phone out of this recovery mode.
Thank you for reading guys. I wish you a nice day

Bootloader unlocked?
Only uninstalling a system app can cause this.

If you bought the new phone and you don't know, surely not.
Google can be uninstalled without causing any problems.

You cannot perform a Backup as long as the phone is in bootloop, if the wipe works you can only recover the data saved previously.
