I was using my Roger's G1 and all of a sudden, the phone reset.
The phone now boots, shows the Rogers logo, then the HTC logo/animation, and then the screen goes black, and the HTC logo/animation appears again, and again and again.
I let it go for a few minutes... same thing.
Only way to break the cycle is either take the battery out to stop, or "Send" + "menu" + "end" key to reboot into the same cycle.
I would like to not hard reset the phone... Any suffestions?
you have to wipe, you don't have a choice
if its the rogers version of the hardware you have to wipe.. even if you wait for a signed system image, it probably wont fix it since the problem is most time in the data partition. try booting in safe mode and uninstalling some apps (or back up your data and wipe) if you havent tried allready... (hold down menu button when the phone powers on, until you see the home screen.
The Rogers version doesn't play nice with all apps for 1.5. In my case it was the wake me up app that caused this problem. I did a wipe to correct.
I ended up doing a full reset, since I couldn;t get into safe mode to backup anything.
What do you recommend as a backup tool (without having root access)?

My phone is stuck on the start-up HTC screen, the one with the green "HTC" logo non a white background.
I was just changing my font to "Cees Hand Regular" using Font Changer and it was not my first time using this application. Every font change requires a reboot, and when I did so my phone got stuck on the start-up screen.
I'm currently running the latest stable version of Cyangonmod if I'm not wrong, and my phone is still able to enter bootloader mode.
I've already tried Googling around for answers and there were some saying to reflash a new rom. But how can I do so if my phone is in such a state? I also tried pulling out the battery to cool and even cleared my memory.
Can someone help me with my problem? Any help or replies is very much appreciated!
If you can enter bootloader mode, you can enter recovery (Clockworkmod) and can flash a ROM again from there.
Enter bootloader, wait for the file scan to get over, then use the volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY, and press the Power Key. Phone will restart in Clockworkmod. Here, perform a wipe data / factory reset, format /system under Advanced, and re-flash the ROM again.
Okay, I finally had time to update my A500 to ICS I was at 3.1 and was rooted. I went through several updates to get to ICS. 3.2, 3.2.1, a small patch, then 4.0.3. After the update finished, saying it was successful, my tab will reboot itself no longer than 30 seconds after it gets to the lock screen I don't have time to uninstall any apps that might be interfering with startup, not that i could tell whats doing it, and i don't have time to do the factory reset through the system menus Not sure why but the recovery (power&vol boot) only displays a red triangle over a dead droid so, guess my actual question is, how could i go about correcting this issue? I have ADB if needed, but I don't know were to start. any help would be appreciated. THANKS.
[Edit]
Okay, so I managed to turn off the wifi on my tab and it seems to stop restarting. When I do turn on the wifi, several apps give an error that they have stopped. after the second one pops up the tab then restarts unless the wifi is shut off. Any ideas as to what this may be would be appreciated.
Hi, sorry to say that i have the exact same problem.
Updated today from 3.2 to 4.0.3 and after first boot started the reboot sequence that only stopped after I managed to switch off the wifi...
I investigated a little but it seems this is quite an isolated issue... and all ways are leading to the factory reset...

Hi,
Got that problem too. Did a factory reset and it works fine now.

Here's on direct from Acer Support:
(of course us old dogs already know this trick)
Note: Clean boot will erase all the data/information which is saved on your tablet. Recommend you to back up the data before performing a clean boot. (yeah, like you can get in there to save it
1. Shutdown the power (press the power button for long time to shutdown).
2. Press and hold volume up key (the key next to rotation lock) until you finish step 4.
3. Press power button for 3 seconds until you feel device vibrates then release power button.
4. Once you feel device vibrates, very quick to switch on/off "rotation key" many times (this activity has to be done very fast, otherwise it will not success). To ensure you success, switch on/off rotation key when Acer logo appears on screen.
5. Wait for a while (you will see Erase Userdata and Erase Cache on top-left corner on screen), device will reboot and start from OOBE screen.
Managed to get it to work. Appreciate the help. Runs like a champ now.

I installed a software update and it asked me to install it, so i did after that i rebooted and thats when it all happened.
The main reason I do not want to factory reset is because I have photos that I didn't get the chance to backup. So if there is a way to avoid factory resetting or a way I could somehow access photos, backup it up then factory reset.
My phone is stock, it has been rooted before though if that matters. As i turn the phone on LG logo shows up, straight after that i get text on the top left of the screen saying "boot cerfification verify" and other stuff then goes into a black screen and stays like that until I turn it off.
- Not able to get into download mode
- CAN GET INTO RECOVERY BUT I WANT TO AVOID IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

If you can get into recovery, you can export your photos to the computer by using adb pull.
There might be another way but this is how I know

stock recovery, yes.
Did You tried safe mode (search for it)?
Also try pushing buttons at random during boot
So basically my phone was stock but rooted and modded slightly with volume boost, camera mod, and the multi window mod as well. Other than that its all stock and never flashed a Rom on it. The phone ran smooth about 90% of the time but there were little quirks here and there that kind of bugged me. For example, every once in a while the screen wouldnt wake up after being locked via button or double tap. Wifi wouldnt respond randomly unless I reset my phone. Things of that nature, but anyhow I decided maybe hard reseting my phone might clear up some of these issues. I got into TWRP from AutoRec, and checked off everything except internal storage. I believe they were Davlik, Cache, System and obviously it didnt work out for me. I feel like me checking off the system is what did it because it wasnt considered a basic swipe at that point. Anyhow I cant get to recovery, download mode or anything of that sort. Everytime I hold down the power button it just resets and brings me back to the LG logo and just sits there while the led lights keeps rotating colors. Is my phone done for?
edit: Oh yea one last thing, I remember when I went to reboot it I somehow ended up being asked if I wanted to install SuperSU and I said yes. And than at that point it went to restart my phone and got stuck.

You wiped system. That's your rom. Don't wipe system unless you plan on flashing a rom. You should still be able to get back to recovery. From phone powered off state ( hold power and volume up when lg logo is on). Hold power and volume down, when lg comes on, release both, then hold both again. You should now be at the factory reset screen. Press power three times (it's not going to factory reset). You should be in recovery. From here, restore your backup. If you don't have a backup, you just found out the reason why you should always have a backup. If you don't have a backup, you're going to need to install a rom via adb or otg (assuming your recovery is up to date). You can also tot or kdz back to stock (wipes sdcard though).

Update: *SOLVED*
I got a strange message that popped up on my phone this morning. It stated "It's gonna rain. Take a umbrella with you". It stayed on top everything else and wouldn't go away. I thought that it could possibly be one of my weather apps and got stuck, so I rebooted. After that point, it gets to the Google loading screen animation and never passes. After subsequent reboots, it does the same thing. I am able to get into TWRP recovery though.
Does anyone know what be causing this and/or how to remedy it? Might it be some type of malware? I have attached a screenshot of it.

Thanks for the link! I do have GO Weather installed, and I have no issue with getting rid of it. Although, I'm unsure how to do that since I can't boot. Any recommendations?

well, since you can boot in twrp you can do a factory reset.
safe mode is a better idea but i dont think you can boot into safe mode without starting the phone.
here are the steps but i dont think it will work so try to delete dalvik and cache from recovery, if that didnt work I think factory reset is the only option unless someone has a better idea
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You’ll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally. Remember, you won’t be able to use any installed apps

I tried clearing the cache and dalvik earlier, along with deleting the GO Weather app files, but that didn't help. I thought about safe mode, but I don't see a way to do it without already being booted to Android.
What if I dirty flash the same stock 6.0 ROM I'm using? I'd like to keep files and apps intact, so I'd prefer to not perform a factory reset, but will if I exhaust other options.
I just realized that I never came back here to update on what happened. I wound up booting into TWRP recovery, connecting to my PC via USB, backing up any data that I needed, then factory reset. That took care of it. Luckily, that also cleared up some other minor, but annoying, issues I was having. Needless to say, I haven't been and won't be using GO Weather EX any longer.
