Boot Loop

Please Help I installed a custum ROM and now I am stuck in a loop a skull comes up and droid and it continues till the battery is dies. I have tried to factory reset and nothing the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery can someone please Help

If the ROM is what's causing the problem, doing a factory reset won't change anything; it'll stil keep the same ROM in place. What you might want to do is download a more popular ROM, like a CM7 nightly, put it on your microSD card (using another phone or a microSD adapter, of course) and boot into recovery and flash that.
If that doesn't work, I dunno then. I got a bootloop the other day after using ROM Manager to flash a new kernel. Turns out it was the kernel because after a factory reset, it booted up fine. So I just chose another kernel and it's all good now.
You just might have a screwy ROM. Try reflashing it if you can. What was the custom ROM, btw?

Yeah I'd agree with the above; install another ROM and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik and if it still doesn't work wipe data as well. Note that wiping data will wipe pretty-much everything on your phones memory (SMS messages, contacts, accounts etc)

when it is cm7 than you should take an other kernel
Please, if you are experiencing random reboots (that involve the M logo) or prolonged screen freezes, you should revert to an older beta kernel that is free of the DSI errors. To do so, replace the boot.img in the update-cm-7...zip package with this one (from 0.04 version): http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=bootimg0.04.zip

Stole that from another Thread:
_Flash with any rom you have
_Milestone will auto reboot after flash done and loop
_Don't worry about that, remove battery in 5s and re-plugin
_Turn on your milestone: hold X and POWER to access Recovery. Select Wipe and reboot

Do you have a Droid or a Milestone? If you have a Milestone, which country is the device from?
I had a boot loop issue too on my UK Milestone when I tried to install CM6.1.2, version 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28. (http://android.doshaska.net/cm6)
This is what I did to fix the problem...
- Flashed UK 2.1 SBF file
- Flashed Vulnerability Recovery
- Rooted the phone
- Installed and booted into OpenRecovery
- Installed 15.01.2011 0.06-11.01.15 version (phone booted fine)
- Rebooted into OpenRecovery > Wiped Dalvik Cache
- Applied 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28 version
One more thing, you may need to update and/or change your baseband files.
I hope this helps.

Thx for the help guys I,m back up an running. Greatly appreciated

[Q] Samsung Galaxy I9000 Does not Boot

I tried to flash CWM10 into my Samsung Galaxy I9000 Device And here's what happened:
I got into the CWM Recovery screen and chose install from sdcard (after a wipe data + wipe cache factory ofcourse).
Everything seem to go OK, no errors or special things, but when I restarted the device to boot into Android OS, it just came back to the CWM Recovery screen.
Since then, I have tried to install many other ROMS and the phone simply won't boot to android OS.
I have also noticed that usually after a successful ROM flash, folders are created in the internal SD card a thing which DID NOT happen this time.
The only difference that the new ROMS installation does is change the CWM Recovery version/Mod.
So basically, I am stuck at CWM Recovery Screen.
I am clueless and I will really appreciate any thing you can.
Any thoughts?

Motorola Milestone A853 Major Issue!!!!

Hi all, my name is Daniel.
I am using a motorola Milestone A853 for the past one year and never faced any issue while rooting or installing custom roms right upto cm10.
from last two months the milestone has not been working properly. It so happened i had installed CM 9.0.1d and everything worked fine. but once the battery died the phone did not boot up and was stuck on moto boot logo and kept restarting from there. I tried to go into open recovery (fufu minimod) using the X+power key and it goes into recovery but after loading recovery it did not display any options and the other text was red in color and it showed the error failed to load menu.init. I replaced the update.zip file along with the open recovery folder, but still nothing worked. I then tried another open recovery but still open recovery never loaded. Then i SBF'ed the device and went back to stock and was able to use my phone again. But then when i try to root the device again i am not able to root using vulnerable SBF as it does not install though RSDLite shows pass. Then i used superoneclick to root and that did the trick. But still open recovery never installed or load. Luckily androidiani recovery which displayed an error cannot mount but still created the menu and i was able to install custom OS but only cm 7.2.4e and not cm9 nor cm10. I cannot reboot the phone as the phone never starts up. only after clearing dalvik and wiping cache phone boots up. After a certain time now i still cannot install cm7.2.4e as it does not load and gets stuck on custom bootscreen, so i installed MIUI rom which works and starts up but i still can never reboot my phone.
Errors Seen E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
Kindly help as the phone is just barely working.

Your phone has some serious issues...
How stable it is with stock rom? Maybe You should flash a stock 2.2 and see if you have any issues.
If not, then flash vulnerable recovery and so on, step-by-step.
Maybe it will be easier to locate the source of the problem this way.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried flashing stock 2.2 and still I cannot reboot the phone without wiping cache and using the reset factory option in stock recovery. Using superoneclick I can root it and install androidiani recovery but I cannot use cm10 or cm 9. after installing cm9 the phone just restarts after cm9 boot screen and after installing cm10 the phone shows the stock android boot screen. cm 7.2.4e installs as well as miui but if battery dies or if I have to restart the phone if it gets sluggish and slow then I cannot...everytime for the phone to boot I have to wipe dalvik and cache for custom roms and for stock roms I have to wipe cache and factory reset.
SO basically I am stuck...have tried changing the sd card, repartitioning the sd card, but nothing worked
Open recovery cannot be used only andoidiani works after popping up some errors.
Kindly help.

cwm recovery bootloop

Phone goes to cwm recovery everytime phone boots, I can't get out of it. Did factory reset, cache erase and dalvik cache erase in cwm, it did not help. Restored backup in cwm, it did not help. I also can't mount external_sd (I wasn't able to do it before too). Cwm recovery shows "can't mount /external_sd/". So I guess I can't use my sd card to transfer files to phone. What else can I try?

Flash to stock?

Do you advise to flash to stock or are you asking if I was flashing stock? If first, I can't flash cause it's not in fastboot mode while it's in recovery, if second then yes, I was flashing to stock when bootloop occured. I forgot to wipe before flashing, so I guess that's why bootloop occured, but this is weird that it bootloops into recovery.

Try this: format system in cwm. Install new ROM in cwm and reboot.
I have the feeling the your system partition is corrupt. As a safety measure the phone boots in recovery mode.

I formated /system, then set up recovery of backup. It was restoring backup, but in the process I walked off and when I returned, phone was powered off with only green led on. I guess it ran out of power because it was already low before. Now green light is on when it's plugged to charger but it does not seem to be charging as it is charging now 5 hours and nothing changed. LED lights off when I unplug it off the charger, when I plug it in back, phone vibrates 2x, led powers on and then nothing.

Ok so from time to time it still boots into recovery mode (it's mysterious when, but it lasts only few minutes, then reboots itself and returns to "black" state). I was able to do recovery of my backup, but after it turned off same thing happened so it did not help. I think I would need factory cable.

What did u do before u got this problem. What was your last action?
BTW, if u o something with your mobile, like doing something with the recovery or flashing stuff, always make Sir u have enough battery or it is connected on the net. Sometimes a bad flash can damage stuff.

I did not have charger with me and charging with USB takes too long so I thought it's ok to flash it as long as it's plugged in pc during flash.
Ok, I downgraded from JB to ICS stock. Yes yes I know, but let me finish. I never accepted OTA update and I made SURE to delete lines in xml where is motoboot and userdata (as omar advised) and gpt (as HSD-Pilot advised). It looked good. I forgot to wipe before though, so I knew that's why classic bootloop occured (showing motorola logo, intel logo, reboot, repeat). I didn't worry about it much though as this is frequent problem and has many solutions. I couldn't simply go to fastboot mode, so I wanted to know if there is available adb during any phase of fastboot. So I did "adb wait-for-device". When I did this, it went to recovery mode and from then on I could not exit it. You are surely asking how is it possible that this adb command caused this. Well, I have no idea either, but that is what happened.
Then I couldn't power off phone, because it restarted itself at every try to power it off into cwm recovery (I willnever buy phone with unplugable battery again). So I at least left plugged it into pc during night. If it was loosing power during night and battery was charged more before, I don't think it would help - because it would eventually still loose it all. In morning it worked same, for a few hours I guess, then it added black screen with green light into its mysterious behaviour repertoire . But as I said, it still boots itself into cwm recovery from time to time, thing is I am out of ideas what to do there.

In recovery mode u can use adb to boot in boot loader. Or to shut the phone down with a command. Try it and see if it works.
U can also try to flash a boot.IMG by cwm or fast boot(boot loader) if u can get there. Flash by cwm can be done with adb side load if the external SD doesn't work.

No I can't where do you get these assumptions? You can't use adb nor fastboot while in recovery mode. And in my case with cwm 6.0.1.9 it also does not detect external sdcard and adb also does not catch in sideload, I suspect this version is faulty, I have no idea why it's propagated in this xda forum section.
Once again:
-stuck in recovery
-cant use adb
-cant use fastboot
-cant use sideload
-cant use sdcard

Sorry maybe I miss read your story. I thought u tried Adb in boot loader when it all goes wrong. But u already stated it.
The only thing is, I can't get my head around your problem. Adb should work in cwm always. It is like a part of it. This is as far as my knowledge about the phone goes. U already tried the hard-reset (power, up-volume,down-volume,camera buttons).
I only have one more thing. If u do the hard-reset. Release alle buttons except the volume-down button when it reboots. Like the booting sequence for booting in boot loader. Sometimes u need to do this when the power cable is out and sometimes when it is on the phone.
If u already have done this or it also won't work after some trying than I don't know anymore. Maybe someone with more experience can help u or u can try to get support form Motorola.

Please help!
I have problems with the installation. I did full wipe in CWM.
Wipe data / factory reset
wipe Cache
Wipe cache Dalvick
Format Sytem
Format cache
Format Panic (panic error in CWM mount)
Format PDS
Now every time I try to install rom infinite boot loop
I can only install with rom instal bat.
Flash zip error after full wipe
How to solve this error?
I have already installed SML 29 via RSD_LITE to try to solve, but the error appears again when I install flash zip rom
Forgive my bad english

If u are using cwm 6... Try the first cwm one. Cwmalpha. Or try twrp the latest one. If all doesn't work use fast boot (bat file one) to get to stock.
But where have u read to format PDS and panic? Why would u do it and need it? Not that they cause the bootloop I think.

-Mounts and Storage
-Format/System
-Format/cache
-Format/Panic
-Format/PDS
After performing this command does not install flash roms zip. Bootloop never happen before. I suspect wip panic XT890 damaged.
all current rom zip bootloop my problem
every rom install with no problem BAT.file bootloop.
YES! Install TWRP however same error happened install flash zip
SML-29 installed. new root again recoveyr. install rom zip always bootloop.
When I install rom with bat.file not bootloop. After performing wipe data / factory, Start bootloop. Did not happen SML-29 installed.
Where do I find information to correct my problem?
Can someone pass information?
Please help!

This solution does not work properly.
Bootloop after installing pi-llama_v1.5 over SML29.
What do I trigger was factory option in fastboot.
installation:
SML29 rsd_lite
wipe cache + wipe cache dalvick
Pi-llama_v1.5
Bootloop occurred as expected
Rom start after selecting factory in fastboot.
But the problem persists if I try to install rom zip with traditional method.
Still awaiting a solution to the problems caused by CWM in my Xt890.
Thanks to all who are helping.

[Q] Razr i - no possibility to flash custom rom or stock - bricked?

Hallo together,
I seem to have done something wrong while trying to flash the rom "RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16".
Here is what i did:
- Unlocked to bootloader using official Motorola homepage
- Flashed CWM (non-touch) recovery using "Recovery Flasher by LeBobo v1.7", USB-Debugging was on
- Rebooted into bootloader and flashed "RAZRiRoot2" to prevent Stock-ROM from overwriting the recovery
- Tried to install the Custom ROM using CWM, but it fails to wipe cache (stuck on line "Formatting /cache")
Because it didn't work, i tried to reset everything as it was before to be able to try again - flashed stock-recovery using the Recovery Flasher by LeBobo, booted into bootloader and selected "Factory". The cell is now just showing the "Warning bootloader unlocked" warning and nothing else happens.
When i try to select the recovery in the bootloader menu, an image of a Android laying on its back with an opened hatch and a red warning symbol showing a "!" appears and nothing else happens.
I seem to have bricked my device, because i cant't really do anything now - is there any solution?
I read through different topics but could not find a real solution to this particular problem...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

It's not bricked
At the moment u enter stock recovery with that android and red warning sy,bol, u need to press bot volume up + downp. Than it will enter stock recovery mode.
Those are the following things u can do to get custom rom,
1. Flash another recovery, cwm touch, cwm non-touch, twrp. They all work a little different.
2. Flash the custom rom and wipe everything, The wip can take some time. sometimes it will be seconds, sometimes it will take a couple of minutes. Every recovery behaves different, and every flash/wipe too.
3. enjoy
If u really want to go back to stock, flash your stock JB firmware by RSD-Lite.

Thank you very much for your answer. I restored the stock rom using RSD Lite and did a clean install of TWRP.
Then I did a Factory Reset and started to install the custom ROM.
The TWRP is now stuck at "Flashing File 1 of 1 /external_sd/RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16.zip".
Is it normal that it takes more than five minutes or is something going wrong here? Is there something i forgot?

5 minutes is a bit too much. But that's the problem with this device. Every device behaves different and we haven't found out a solution too it.
At the moment i can't do much for you. I can only say try to wipe the partitions mannualy. Wipe system, data and cache. and mount system. And then try to install it. Maybe if that doesnt do the trick try again another recovery.
This from KTR-ROM
Code:
- Enter in TWRP or CWM
- Wipes required: data, system, cache y dalvik
*In CWM mount system must format before (Mount and storage -> Mount system)

Thanks again - that was it.
For some reason, TWRP did not automatically wipe the system-partition. It had to be mounted + wiped manually.
Not the custom ROM is up and running well. Installation took 35 minutes for some reason though...
Thank you so much for your help!
