[Q] I'm an idiot and need help... bootloop/brick - Moto X Q&A

Well im an idiot and hit the update for 4.4.3 without thinking when im rooted and have twrp.
Is there a way to cancel the update? I can get into the phone it boot up fully but after a minute or two it reboots to twrp What can i do to fix this??

LOL, same exact thing just happened to me so I guess I'm an idiot as well.
I had to shut it down and restart several times but it finally came up with a prompt that the update had completed (of course it hasn't, I'm still on 4.2.2) and seems be running fine now.

So just restart a few times until i get the promt?

That worked for me but I just found another post that said to boot to recovery and clear cache. Try that.

Google Nexus One keeps restarting.

5 days ago, I suddenly found my phone off. I turned it on and it then it kept restarting itself. I tried to remove and re-put the battery, it still kept on restarting itself. My brother tried to do some stuff like clicking on the down-volume + power, but whatever he chose after that, a hat showed up and nothing happened for 30 mins. He tried again and again, the damn hat is all we got. So we decided to wait for my father to come home this Saturday, I took off my SIM card and left the phone, the next day I turned on the phone, it didn't restart itself, so I was happy and all, then I inserted the SIM card, it went back to restarting itself. I didn't touch the phone since then, but today, I took off the SIM card, and the phone is working well, I'm even writing this from my phone. So, what should I do now?
Oh yeah, I installed an AntiVirus a while ago (yes I didn't have one), and it detected a threat which I really don't understand: Unsecure privilege mode detected. Your phone is running in High Privilege mode (i.e., it has been rooted). We recommend using only genuine firmware.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Prior to antivirus installed, did the phone restarted itself? The first step, I would recommend remove the antivirus to see the problem still persist. Which ROM do you currently use?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
With or without the Anti-virus installed, the phone keeps restarting itself as long as the SIM card is inserted.
ROM Manager v5.5.2.3

Are you using GB or ICS or JB ROM? ROM manager doesn't affect the restarting problem, I think.

What's your radio version? Look in the about phone for the baseband version. If you have the latest baseband version 5.08.04 then try to flash a different ROM to see the problem still persist, making sure you do full wipes before flashing.

[Q] stuck in bootloop

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

Has anyone else gotten this while rooting?

Hey guys. I ran into some trouble trying to root my note 3 and got this message. Now the phone won't turn on our connect to kies to try to repair it. I have the Samsung drivers installed and I believe I followed the directions closely. Can any of you tell me how to get back to factory settings or all the way through the root process. I'm stuck at this screen for now. Any help would be awesome.

Try using the one click oding to get back to the stock firmware. Put the phone in download mode and flash the first step of the root procedure and then stop and make sure your phone will work in stock form first before you try rooting it again.

Instead of Pass in a green box, I get Failed in a red box and the progress bar on the phone stops
That's not good, maybe try a new download. Which firmware are you flashing? MI1 or MI9?
That's actually what happened when I tried to root. It would sit forever and fail due to a timeout. What I did is after the failure..I left the phone in dl mode and connected and closed the odin..then relaunched odin and it worked the second time. That's my experience and your mileage may vary..
Same thing!

The exact same thing happened to me... I tried to install Kies 3 and add the drivers but to no avail. So from there on I just closed everything. Disconnected my note 3, reconnected it, and ran odin once more. It immeadiately passed and rooted my phone.
I have seen that in the past it is the sign of a brick you definitely have to Odin back to stock to fix that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yes it happened to me too. I just figured it was my crappy computer so I continued to try and after the 4th try I was able to achieve root status. Like a previous commenter suggested, it's a timed out issue.
Yea. I must have tried a dozen times a dozen different ways and I was stuck. I just said eff it and got a new phone. Debating if I want to try again, but I don't feel like potentially going thru the same heart ache. Really the only reason I care to root this phone is to get rid of those damn bloat ware apps; especially My Magazine.

Just went thru this on my Note 3 - chances are youre using a vm on a mac arent you?
Make sure you use a dedicated *windows* machine and not a vm (or at lest not a fusion VM) That was my issue, I havent tried parallels. I grabbed a dedicated win 7 machine and it works perfectly.
I was going to return it of that failed, which luckily it didnt.

Attempted to install new InsertCoin [Fail]

It gets to the end but shows install error 7 at the end, booted anyways, now just bootloops to eternity. No recovery is accessible only fastboot now.
Tried to install 3 recoveries through fastboot all passed but none bootup, factory resetted through fastboot, no go still. Not in anyway meant to steer people away from the ROM, others are reporting it is working fine for them. I can't and a few others it seems. Phones aren't done for, just temp out for the count.
Will clean up the thread and make things prettier but need to get to work, hopefully this gets some attention. Thanks for any help guys, I won't be able to trouble shoot for about 10 hours or more depending on work things.
Were you able to restore your backup, or perhaps adb push a new rom ?
If not, what is your fastboot getvar all output?

I can't access recovery. Others have posted they can get into recovery and revert back. I cannot get it to boot and stay in recovery for more then a second. I installed the latest cwm recovery before flashing all was fine. Any link to sideloading. Will try when I get home tonight, on a backup phone right now at work.

Edit: To avoid confusion I changed the link to the one RikRong posted that will give you the M only version. File name: TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img.
Edit2: Looks like the links are down so here is a link to a post that @rahimali provided in this thread. Its for TWRP 2.8 and 2.7.1.0.

anyone else have a problem with this not recognizing the touch commands and just basically acting like its frozen? Nothing works I left it for awhile and came back to it and tried to open the slide lock and it doesn't do anything. The battery is fully charged so what I guess I have to do is wait for the thing to die so I can get out of recovery.

no luck with twrp so switched back to cwm. i also flashed the same way using fastboot
well I'll give the flashy a try and see but I think its more an issue with my phone. but I got time to play so we'll give it a shot.

Looking at my bootloader I do not think I am on the KK bootloader it gives me a date of 2013-09-25 I am assuming that is the original bootloader that it came with. Guess I'll do a search for the KK bootloader and see if I can get that flashed over.

To get the KK bootloader, I flashed the latest OTA through rsd lite. It should keep the boot loader unlocked but will remove root. If you plan on using a stock ROM, Q9Nap's GPE is very smooth and stable. Their thread gives links and instructions on how to flash OTA.
So the Frog has officially Croaked his Phone.
Yes you heard right I have managed to kill my phone. Only good thing is that I couldn't use it for much more than a mini wifi tablet so I didn't really loose anything.
I could not get Twrp 2710 to work was because I had the old boot loader So I decided to update the boot loader which I did but now the phone will not go out of the boot logo screen. I have successfully reinstalled my ROM and still will not go past the boot logo screen. I have tried fastbooting back to the old bootloader but no luck there either. I have spent about 2.5 hours this morning trying different things to get it to work and nothing I have found or came across will work. I have however successfully installed twrp 2710 and now have it working. Considering that is the only area of the phone That I can actually get into i guess thats something.
Some of the older Roms won't boot on the kk kernel they will not boot past the boot logo... When you upgraded did you flash the entire kk firmware via rsd? And it wouldn't boot past the boot logo...
