Last night I power cycled my phone and put it on my charger. When I woke up this morning and looked at my phone there were a ton of force close screens. I have no phone (cannot make calls) and not data.
I power cycled the phone over and over and have been searching the net all day but cannot get it to work. The only thing that I had done prior to the initial power cycle was a few updates from the market, so I uninstalled those apps, but it appears that was not the problem.
I have root access and was running gumbo's rom (now MaDoCo...thought that would help) and I really don't wanna do a factory reset. Is there anything I can do?
Factory reset is most likely gonna be your only option. If you dont wanna do that, do you still have the .zip for your rom on your mem card? If so, why not just reflash the zip? Might take care of the issue without having to do a hard reset. I am assumingm, though, that if you are rooted you would have created a nandroid backup? Why not just restore?
Tried reflashing the rom and that didn't work. Gonna do a Factory reset now. Lets see
tried factory reset and now i'm stuck on boot screen
Did you ever make a Nandroid backup?? I would suggest you run the Sprint RUU and bring your phone back to Stock, reroot, install recovery, and then a custom ROM. That looks like your best option.
But, just for the hell of it -- take out of your battery and then insert it back in and reboot, see if that does anything.
What kind of factory reset did you do? Wipe from recovery, go through setting, the home>back>power one, or what? And are you stuck at the HTC screen? That happened to me once, but it was because I flashed a GSM rom my first try. Boot into recovery, wipe the phone, and if that doenst do it, I agree with pseodo, time to RUU.
Well I tried resetting from the recovery and wiping, but it will not boot up. Then I tried the RUU, but it wont get past the boot screen in order for me to to connect it to the USB. I tried connecting the USB through recovery and although I can access my SD card via my PC, going through the steps for the RUU says its not connected.
I took my phone over to sprint and although they know I have a custom rom on there (which voided my warranty), they are still gonna give me a brand new one and send mine back through manufacture warranty. It'll be in on Tuesday. Luckily for me I have an online back up through by MyBackUpPro, so I should be good on restoring settings, apps, contacts and all other important stuff. (Minus Root and Custom Rom )
Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
I flashed a new set of icons last week and had a bunch of force closes, restored a nandroid and everything was fine.
My S6 edge is in a bootloop. I put off the 5.1.1 OTA for a while when my wifi would not turn on. Rebooted, still didnt work. I decided to do the update. installation went great but now its in a boot loop. I flashed the firmware (BOG7) using Odin. It worked. The phone was back on again but then it shut off after a few hours.
Its been stuck in the bootloop again. I flashed BOG7 again. Ive Flashed BOG9. Ive flashed the stock PIT. Ive tried ADB sideload. Smartswitch and Kies do not recognize the device. Of course, Ive wiped cache and factory reset. Attempted booting in safemode. All flashes were successful but when it reboots, It says "erasing" and goes to bootloop (Samsung powered by android).... Drivers are installed and working. MTP is not installed and I cant find the file.
Please .
same problem
I'm having the same problem with boot loop on g925v stock. I'm wondering if the op or anyone else can help!
No mater what I do, phone reboots after almost exactly 1min9 sec. Just enough time to select a language, but not get past the next "activation" screen.
Background: Phone has never been rooted, at first was on og5 and started freezing on the verizon logo, so I factory data reset, and after that nothing has really changed. knox has not been tripped, frp not tripped
First I tried flashing og5 with odin,
(of course checked md5, and odin=pass, then after flashing, I always tried several combinations of booting to recovery for wipe cache partition/ factory reset / and also power down by holding volume down and power button, then select boot in safe mode)
Then tried flashing og7, still boot loop
then tried flashing og9, 3 times, again, also many attempts of factory data reset/ wipe cache partition / safe mode.
I am starting to think this may be a hardware problem, BUT unfortunately I do not have samsung warranty available on this phone so I am pretty much stuck messing with it.
In researching the issue, I have run across quite a few similar freeze/boot loop problems all over the web, and never any real solutions, for both g925v, g920v, and other s6 models. I've also seen a stock s6 g920v that freezes randomly, flashing stock og9 never helped, owner was planning to replace the battery and see if that helps (I have not heard back).
I've tried looking at the boot log but I'm no expert. I know I can't downgrade, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do with adb, or any other bootloaders that I could try flashing over the og9 (even if just temporarily, assuming I will flash stock og9 again after).
Thanks for any encouragement, help or advice.
I finally gave up on my GS6 Edge because upon carefully taking it apart for the 3rd time I noticed physical damage up by the wifi receiver and SIM card slot. My advice would be to try the things I tried (above) and, if it's not a hardware issue, it may fix the problem. Good luck.

Phone has been in the ****ter for the past day. Stuck on boot loop. I tried flashing the most recent stock firmware. It would not do it and kept throwing auth failed signs at me. I tried other stock firmwares for tmobile with no sucess. I Tried throwing them on my sdcard and installing through there in TWRP, but I keep getting md5 auth failures. I have wiped, factory reset, and cleaned house many times. Nothing works. Im at my wits end. Someone please help
I'm a guest to this forum..but same thing happened to me about 5 days ago. Last thing I remember seeing is the 5. update trying to take place and I was just about OUT of Internal memory (with NO microSD card). Phone just kept rebooting. I was able to do a Factory Wipe (Both in the OS and in the Recovery Mode)....Neither worked even though they appeared to be successful. Phone just came back with ALL of my data still intact. The other weird thing...I had about 60 seconds before phone decided to reboot each time. During those 60 seconds I was able to delete files, pictures, etc. to save space. As soon as the phone rebooted those same files were back! Very frustrating. Still having the issue.
im not sure what states either of you guys are in, but you can look on craigslist for people that do flashing. you make need to do a odin rebuild because the partitions are ****ed.
you can repair it yourself but with pure caution.
Have you tried flashing in download mode with your computer through ODIN? If twrp doesn't work, that's what I go to next.
You could also try flashing the firmware without the MD5 file and I believe twrp will skip the check. (not positive on this one)
Figured it out on my own. Flashed CF autoroot. Then flashed 5.1.1 which is the most up to date firmware. Im not sure if the issue was because I was doing 5.1.0 and didnt realize that was the most UTD version, or if CF to 5.1.1 was the trigger. Either way, it worked.
Hello there.
I have a Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) with an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM.
Since a few days I started experiencing something completely weird.
Every time I happen to turn off my phone (often only because the phone had gotten quite warm and I want it to cool down then) I then land in the boot animation and get stuck there. After forcefully rebooting the phone from there (about half of an hour) I held the Volume Up key for three seconds during the warning screen and eRecovery told me about the Data Partition to be badly damaged and it would be recommended to recover it.
There are two ways I can do from here (and also did):
First way is to let it recover using eRecovery, connect to my wireless connection, however the phone always tells me that there was a problem getting the package info for my phone. (Does Huawei stopped supporting the P9 eventually?)
The second way is to run TWRP and reinstall the custom ROM (In my case RROS 5.8.5 for my P9) and to never turn my phone off again. However this isn't always possible to keep it on since it also could happen that I'm not at home and my battery suddenly died.
Installing the stock ROM (or a custom ROM based on a stock ROM) however doesn't work. The stock ROM itself simply won't get installed, neither over the dload method or TWRP or fastboot and a custom ROM based on the stock ROM results in having my phone simply getting a black screen when locking it and then I need to reboot it to use it again.
What can I do? Could it be that my flash memory could be corrupted or something could have happened with one of the partitions of the phone?
Greetings.
EDIT: I managed to install a stock firmware using this link right here.
After the stock firmware was installed, doing a factory reset and wiping the cache every problem I mentioned above this edit vanished.
Hello everyone, how do you do?
I've got this phone that was running perfectly the stock rom, but I have that addiction to customize every phone I land my hands into (I guess some of you either haha).
But
This time something horrible happened, and I just can't back this phone to work. I'll tell what did I've done and I'm hopping you to help me (just paid a lot to fix the broken screen, don't want to buy a new board...)
Here we go: yesterday, several times I've tried to unlock the phone, and figure out that the fastboot command to do that have changed to fastboot oem unlock (at least in this phone), and had no need to copy that code into Motorola's page. After unlock, tried to install TWRP Recovery, several times, and finnaly got one that worked here. Okay. Ready to go. Also had difficulty to find a ROM that is compatible with this phone (I wanted some with Android 9, or 8.1, at least). I was capable to install the Lineage OS 15 Unnoficial for Nicklaus, but got stuck in Lineage OS Logo Screen. Fine. Downloaded the Lineage OS 14 Unnoficial (Android 7.1), flashed, and everything went fine! The ROM was installed, configured, but... My phone has the OnScreen Buttons for Navigation... And this ROM doesn't appear to get this to work... Every time I went to settings page and tried to enable this feature, the Settings Application stucks and phone restarts. So, at this point, I thought that the ROM was with some code problem, whatever, decided to download another. And (that was a HUGE MISTAKE). Downloaded the DotOS ROM here.
After flash, the ROM loaded up fine. Settings, ok, system, ok. But, the same problem with the Navigation Buttons. What? Again? Yes. Tried to enable via settings, but I realized that some configurations of Lineage OS installation is still there - forgot to wipe data before flashing ROM... But at this time (I guess it was 2AM) I had no patience to reboot, wipe, boot, configure, and decided to factory reset using the option in Settings menu. The DotOS shows me a logo saying "Wiping data". The phone reboots. And reboots. And reboots. But, the TWRP stills working, and tried many, many times to flash all sort of ROMs with no success at all.
I was going insane, you know, WHY I CAN'T FLASH THE ROM I'VE JUST FLASHED MINUTES AGO?? Got a clue: somehow when wiping data, DotOS bugged my /data partition (in TWRP, when wiping data, got an error in this partition, and cant fix it using TWRP fix menu). Tried a lot of tutorials over the internet to fix that partition, with no success. And, unfortunately, at that point my /system and /cache partition got broken too.
But, I had my secret weapon: THE STOCK ROM. Yes. Everytime all went wrong, is quite simple: just install the factory's ROM, and you will be fine. Right? Wrong. Really don't know why, I was not able to flash some images of the ROM (boot, recovery, system also). Thought I've downloaded the wrong Stock ROM. Tried another. And another. No success. What the hell? At this point my mind was not lucid enough, and decided to STUPIDLY FORMAT PARTITIONS BY MY SELF. Reboot Bootloader. Connect Cable. Fastboot.
fastboot devices -> OK
fastboot erase boot -> OK
fastboot erase userdata -> OK
fastboot erase system -> OK
That's it! Fixed! Now is just reboot, and... Reboot. Reboot. Reboot. Reboot.
Ok, Vol Down + Power. Nothing. Ok, Vol Up + Power. Nothing. Ok, Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, Vol Power + Dow Up, Fingerprint + Screen + Two Punches + Power. Nothing.
Stuck in boot loop. My worse nightmare. Thinked: okay, lets remove the battery, and... Remember I've just fixed the broken screen? Yeah. Out of lucky, the assistance tried THREE TIMES to change my screen, because the screen's provider at first provided a screen with ghost touches, at second a screen that had light glitches. At third, a correct screen. Don't want to loose my warranty, you know. If this third screen has some problem either? The assistance put that tag over the screw, you know. Can't take my battery off. But I really don't know if removing the battery will really help, because I've erased my boot partition. I hate me. My wife too (but she hated before). Now, got this tutorial: Ultimate Guide for [Bootloop Recovery] Noob Friendly, that is a little outdated, and can't help me. But gave me some hope: So, my phone isn't bricked yet! I can fix it!
But I really don't know how.
I hope someone helps me, and that this topic can be useful for any one who got stuck in Boot Loop from here to eternity.

Hey, download the stock rom for your from here:
https://motostockrom.com/motorola-moto-e4-plus-xt1773
And follow this process to flash the rom on to your phone:https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
Warning for this phone flashing process:
In SP flash tool, "do not" select 'format all+ download'(the phone will be bricked). Only select 'Download only'.
Secondly deselect preloader after adding scatter file(flashing it will also brick the device).
This all warnings are already given in the flash guide, i just want you to give proper attention while doing it.
