Hello all, this is my first time posting here, and I hope that my problem isn't permanent, but this morning my phone started to act strange. I reverted back to stock yet everything is still the same. Long splash screen time, and very laggy, very unresponsive recovery/UI when the phone is on. At first i thought that I had done something in my pocket on accident, so I clean flashed Chroma, my daily driver, and ElementalX. After rebooting from recovery, the Google splash screen had stayed on for about 20 seconds, compared to the 5 I had been seeing till today.
Now, when the phone actually booted, I was getting random restarts, screen becoming unresponsive along with the buttons. After setting up the phone, every app I tried opening would hang at the splash screen, like Hangouts, and would immediately stop responding, and eventually restart the phone.
TWRP also would freeze and the screen would lock on its own. When trying to swipe to unlock, the slider would freeze and behind it was another lock slide, which wasn't accessible. After reverting to stock, with TWRP once again, the boot and recovery still take 4 times longer than what they used to, and my phone is very sluggish to start. Has anyone else experienced this?
Currently on TWRP 3.0.0.2, stock 6.0.1, MMB30W image.

You reverted back to stock. I assume you used a custom ROM. When you were unencrypted than stock forces encryption. That encryption process may last a very long time and depends on the amount of data.
You could think of wiping and formatting all partitions and do a factory reset.
Will try that soon, thanks ? completely forgot about encryption.

My wife's phone is completely stock, I have never rooted it or anything.
A couple of days ago, she started getting a strange notification with the android icon and something called Smith with the message that it is disabled. Her phone would reboot itself a couple of times a day and now it is stuck in a boot loop. The phone has been stuck in the loop for a couple of hours now, stopping on the white android screen for a second and shutting down, rinse and repeat.
I can get into recovery by ONLY holding down the volume key, which is kind of strange. I also cant select anything in recovery.
Any help would be appreciated, she is about to kill me and switch to an iPhone.

Follow the instructions here then. Be warned though, this will wipe everything, including internal storage.
The Smith file is some file that HTC put into the ROM that expired in mid-August. Ever since then, the app shows as expired when you reboot. Nothing you can really do about it if you are not rooted, but HTC is supposedly working on a fix that they will push via OTA.
However, it shouldn't be causing the bootloops as far as I know. If a factory reset doesn't work, then running the RUU is most likely the way to go.
I have had my HTC One M7 shortly after it was release. I got it from ATT. I immediately found a guide here and rooted it. I had TWRP and every time ATT tried to push an OTA I would refuse. I haven't bothered with it until a couple weeks ago when I wanted to put in KIT KAT. so I found m7_Stock_Rooted_4.18.502.7_odex.zip. I did a dirty upgrade, as the thread said it was okay. And it was. I am going on a trip so I purchased a sim unlock code in between upgrading to kitkat and today.
I got another OTA. I must not have read the bootloader correctly to refuse the install. I was no longer rooted. I come back to XDA and thought what the heck, I'll try out this ROM, it looks nice: Android_Revolution_HD-One_83.1.zip. I use TWRP to put the ROM in and now I am full of fail. After a little bit of Google I decided to try to do a factory reset. And now I am stuck in a boot loop. I have went back to Google but so far all I have seen is use adb or some other method to put things on the "sd card". But how would I do that when this phone doesn't have a sim card and I can't hook it up to my computer anymore? FWIW at some point in the boot loop my computer will recognize the phone, but it won't stay in that state long before it goes away. What happens is my phone starts too boot. Boot screen comes up. After about 10-15 seconds it restarts. This time saying entering recovery.... at the top. That lasts for about 2 seconds, phone goes black and reboots like normal. Over and over.
Best I can do is get to the android hard reset screen by holding power and reset screen. But that is saying "tampered" and "unlocked" at top. I chose the factory setting option and that doesn't do anything to alter the current state.
Edit:
When I went to flash Android Revolution ROM I chose wipe data. It gave some error that some files were not copied. So I ran it again, straight from TWRP. But that never installed right and I was stuck in a boot loop. I don't have many options with the android hard reset menu. But if choose restore, I will get to see the screen from TWRP flash for just a moment before it goes away and reboots.
Also I do see my phone when I have it plugged in the control panel (windows). Under devices and printers, it is listed as Android 1.0 under unspecified devices.

Thanks dude. I had an older version, since I originally rooted this phone around 18 months ago and used a version from back then. I watched a youtube video how to push TWRP onto a soft bricked device using ADB. After that, I was able to install the ROM.

glad i could help with just a question
Hello,
Today, while I was using my phone, it restarted itself and has been stuck at a boot loop almost entirely since then. It has successfully booted up 2-3 times but will usually restart itself within 30-45 seconds of booting and then will be stuck in a boot loop again. When it has started up its usually after it has been bootlooping for a while. I'm rooted and using xTreme Rom v2.0. I have had occasional random reboots here and there before but the phone always booted right up again without any issues. I haven't done anything with root/recovery since early September.
I've tried doing a factory hard reset without any luck. My phone booted up after I tried the hard reset and it was like the reset didn't happen. I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into download mode and I tried to reset using kdz. It got to 100% but the the phone restarts and is back in the boot loop (then the lg flash tool gets an error and force quits). I've tried removing my sd and sim cards, I've tried swapping to a different battery, I've tried leaving the battyer out and letting the phone cool down. Nothing is working. I have noticed that when the phone is going to boot up correctly the full LG animation plays. When the phone is going to boot loop I only get a static LG Powered by android image.
Any suggestions?
Since I tried to rest using kdz I can't get past the boot loop...Device also isn't recognized when using adb
edit: It booted up once this morning and went to the initial set up screen, like the kdz worked. But about 30 seconds-a minute later the phone locked up, rebooted and has been stuck in a boot loop since.
That's weird..
So the KDZ goes through all the way successfully.
Phone does the update all apps etc.. and it still boot loops after a while?
Which ROM version are you updating it back to?
My phone just did the exact same thing. I'm also on the Extreme Rom. Everything you described is my experience too. When I use the LG tool it goes all the way through and reboots the phone but just keeps bootlooping. Did you find a fix? I've tried everything i can think of. Probably going to take it in tomorrow and get warranty on it.

I used the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Download the correct KDZ file to flash back to and follow the rest of the instructions. You can also look at this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk
The one you'll want to try is "Normal Flash"
"CSE Flash" is a full wipe that deletes all data.
Mine was weird where it told me my phone disconnected, but the progress bar was still continuing. If that happens to you, don't hit cancel, let the progress bar finish to 100%
I am having a hard time recovering from my curiosity with my XT1060, Developer's Edition (unlocked bootloader and all)
I had factory 5.1 ROM, xposed and all tweaked. But it's been months, phone's getting slow, and I'm itchy for MM...
So last night, I made a TWRP/nandroid backup onto my USB-OTG stuck, and then, installed Resurrection-Remix-M.
Works fine, until I tried to make a call. I can't hang up. After 30 seconds, the phone rebooted.
I had another guy call me. The phone rings, but the screen is blank. I cannot pick up the call. WTF? I tried turning screen back on, screen's blank. After a couple attempts to swipe blindly, power button, the phone rebooted.
At this point, I'm like WTF, that's enough. So I tried to plug in the USB-OTG and tried to restore.
TWRP does NOT see my backup. At this point, I realized that perhaps TWRP can't see the item due to MM's security structure.
So I engaged the RR's CM explorer and copy the Nandroid backup onto the built-in 32 GB . THere should be enough room.
I looked back X minutes later, the phone had rebooted itself (?!!) and it's stuck at the bootloader logo (I had replaced it with generic "White Google" logo)
I cursed a bit more, did the VOL-DOWN / POWER to bring up the Fastboot menu, and boot into recovery. I got the Team Win logo, then nothing. I waited 5 minutes. It's stuck too.
At this time, I'm cursing a blue streak. My phone has been dead for HOURS now, no end in sight.
I went back into Fastboot, did Factory (which I assume is "Factory Reset?") no effect. Still freezes both normal boot and recovery boot.
I boot back into Fastboot mode, I already have Minimal ADB and Fastboot loaded on PC, so I use that to flash the a new recovery.IMG (downloaded fresh off TWRP.ME for ghost) and rebooted. STILL FROZEN at TWRP. WTF?!?!?!
(FWIW, Ghost TWRP is still 2.8.7.0, while TWRP main is already at 3.0.2)
At this time I'm at a loss as on what to do.... I tried extracting one of the factory ROM's boot.img and flashed that via fastboot, nothing.
I just RSDLite the 292-ghost_verizon_51.... ROM onto the phone (with servicefile option). It rebooted to the bootloader warning, so flash did work, but it doesn't seem continue to boot either, but I guess I was supposed to have waited like 10 minutes just to get past the bootloader? I flashed the TWRP on there. Still waiting for TWRP to load. After a couple minutes, I decided it wasn't working.
I'm now using RSDLite with the Flashfile option (wipe out all the data). Wonder if this will do it?
EDIT: Now I'm past the bootloader logo and now it's kinda stuck on the Verizon logo, but I guess that's to be expected. Still charging... and waiting.
EDIT2: Verizon logo took about 5 minutes to boot into setup. I just hit skip / skip / skip until I got to launcher. Shut down, reboot into fastboot, flashed recovery again, and booted TWRP recovery successfully this time. (sigh)
Lessons to take away from this diversion that took HOURS away from my life... For no appreciable gain.
* Keep a flashable nandroid backup on the phone. I know it takes up GB's of space. But you'll be thanking yourself (and maybe me) when there's a problem and you need to recover, especially if you're into MM or N.
* And keep that nandroid backup UPDATED! (nightly, if possible)
* ALWAYS keep a copy of the stock ROM on your regular PC, and keep Minimal ADB/Fastboot (or whichever flavor recommended for your device) and Gapps loaded. Do update every once in a while.
* ALWAYS refer to XDA
Hi All,
Sorry if this is asked before. I have a new Note 5 unlocked. I turned it on yesterday and started using it. Late at night, its screen froze. I tried pressing Power+Volume_Down buttons to restart the phone. The phone restarted but the the screen was black. Only the notification light was on (blue).
In the morning, the light was still on and the phone was froze. I tried restarting it and I succeeded it. Then I realized the phone was very, I mean veeeery slow. By the time, a firmware update notification popped up. I believe it was Marsmallow update. I hit the yes button. The phone started the update and was stuck at %24. Then it restarted itself. The update process starts over and when it reaches %24, it starts over.
This happened before with my note 4 when I tried to root it. This phone is brand new and is not rooted. However, I transferred my Google profile but I did not select to download my previous apps. So, I don't think it is rooting issue but stucking at the same percentage makes me nervous.
I tried to get into recovery mode but the button combination does not work at all. So I can neither factory reset nor clear the cahe partition. When I press Volume_Down+Home+Power buttons, a custom rom download screen appears but Volume_Up+Home+Power buttons do not work at all. I cannot shut off the phone. It constantly restarts itself, starts the update, fails at %24 and starts the process over again.
What might be the problem? How can I fix this?
Regards
Hi,
Try flashing some stockfirmware via Odin (ideally something of the same android version i.e. lollipop/marshmallow). Once it's installed you should be able to access recovery from which I strongly recommend clearing your cache afterwards as you've already suggested. If you are not worried about loosing any data, then flash new firmware that is inclusive of BL/CP/CSC files too (each one has a category for such in Odin). With the latter, by all means flash marshmallow etc. :good:
Regards
