so I unrooted and went back to stock and went to relock the boot loader, now my screen the little android guy with the thing spinning in the belly, and if i hit volume up screen goes blank and it says in very small print formatting / data .... at the bottom. i can't reboot....if i hold power and volume rocker i get the google screen and goes back into this....am i #@[email protected]$##$?????
Ok....issue resolved...i was able to get it into boot loader mode, and once in boot loader i used tool kit to flash stock and unroot (boot loop mode). once i booted up normally, i used toolkit again to fast boot format user data because the internal storage thing was all wonky....i am back up, unrooted, locked.....so i can see what Verizon does tomorrow when the 6 supposedly goes live....we shall see....

was using my nexus one as i was switched it off removed the sim card from this phone placed it in another phone... left my nexus one on charge and turned it on left the room when i got the vibrate didnt even saw wether it was completly on or not... came back home saw the phone off... tried to turn it on but it wouldnt.... then connected the charger to the phone then turned it on and it shows a X and a unlocked sign at the bottom stays for a while and then the screen gets black and the same thing happens over and over again
Its going in a reboot loop I think.
Try going into the bootloader by pressing the trackball and power button together.
and then enter bootloader and then recovery.
In the recovery select reboot.
Btw do you have a nandroid backup?
I do have a backup lying around somewhere but i'm not sure of that. And i tried that boot loader thing but when i go to that menu as soon as i press the volume - button the phone boots off again
did you try the 3 finger:
pwr/vol-/trkball at same time may take up to 20 seconds to boot into bootloader
or, may need to use fastboot from command terminal and flash new recovery/rom like passimg to go back to stock then upgrade from there
pass image method is in wiki
Try this:
- Press the power button and the trackball together
- Select Bootloader and then Recovery
- Flash a different ROM (Stock\CM\MIUI\or try flashing again your current rom)
- If it doesn't work, flash a new rom AND wipe data and cache
Many people when they first get a Nexus device, choose to unlock the bootloader right away to prevent a mandatory data wipe if they unlock it later. Myself and a few others have encountered a bootloop after doing so. If this happens to you, follow these steps.
1) If your phone is stuck in a bootloop, Hold volume up, volume down & the power button until the phone turns off.
2) Wait a minute as trying to turn the phone back on may be unresponsive.
3) Hold volume up, volume down & power to boot into the bootloader.
4) Toggle to recovery and press the power button.
5) When you see the android laying down: press and hold the power button and immediately press volume up. It should open the menu.
6) Choose wipe data/factory reset. When completed the phone will reboot and should boot to the welcome screen
Hope this helps anyone who has this issue!
If I boot once, then reboot to boot loader then unlock will I be ok? I'm getting mine tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up. I have no doubt that I will run into this issue and these instructions will help.

Yes.
Suppose that's from the update that happens when you first boot, we all know how well OTAs and unlocked bootloaders get along.

This is related to the typical Nexus data partition situation: If the data partition is wiped, the partition needs to be regenerated in some fashion before it can be written to, and this can only be done by booting once into the OS. Recovery and bootloader are unable to complete this operation alone.
If you find yourself in the situation of having wiped both system and data, you must flash any bootable OS version to system & boot via fastboot, and boot into it once, before you will be able to install ROMs via recovery again.
This is very important and I do this with every Nexus device on first boot.

This help, also had to format "data" because i skipped the first boot and installed the recovery right away
Thanks for this post
I booted mine straight to bootloader when it came and unlocked it with no problems. I wonder why this only happens sometimes?
did those of you who got a bootloop have to download/install the OTA when it finally booted?
got it from a friend who bought it new tried to unlock the bootloader and screwed up in the middle of the process.
now it's stuck in a loop won't boot just shows Sony logo on the screen. Turns off and turns on fine, charges ok, boots into CWM recovery by pressing power and volume keys shows that it's missing some root files in the recovery.
any thoughts?
If you can boot it in download mode, just use flashify to flash factory system, and then start unlocking again
My phone is completely unrooted, I just did a quick weak sauce root back on 4.4 which was patched with 5.0 I Uninstalled weaksauce2 and my phone has been unrooted and locked ever since. Suddenly I got a restart message in the middle of using my phone and my phone started looping yesterday.
When I try to enter the bootloader I can't do anything. The second I try to scroll down it splashes the HTC logo and then restarts.
Turning off the phone and turning it back on and attempting to enter bootloader doesn't fix anything, I can't access recovery. The closest I can come to operating the bootloader is mashing the power button to select fastboot, which just causes the screen to go black instead of splash the HTC logo before looping again.
Is there any way to fix this (or at least get the data off of it) or is my phone officially hard bricked?
Bump.

If your bootloader is unstable there not much you can do. Are you able to post the output of "fastboot getvar all"? Does "fastboot oem rebootRUU" brings you in RUU mode?
Hi All,
I've been running the same ROM on my G4 for the past few months with no issues. 20(i?) M bootloader on a debloated ROM...I don't even remember which ROM I had stuck with, but it was based off stock...NOT CM/AOSP/AOKP. That being said, it crashed on me earlier today(went black, thought it was a locked screen, but it wouldn't wake with double-tap or power button) and I can't get it to boot. It will go to the Logo screen with the Bootloader unlocked message, but I can't get past that. I can get it into the factory data reset menu to attempt to boot into TWRP, but after selecting yes the second time, it will pause on that screen like normal, then go black...I can't even get the TWRP splash screen. I can't get it to boot into download mode either. When it goes black it's unresponsive. I have to pull the battery to do any reboots. Any ideas on how to bring my phone back to life?
