I flashed a rom the other day and a couple minutes after flashing the rom kept rebooting not goin past the Mytouch splash screen. If the sdcard is in it'll reboot about 3 or 4 times and finally boot up or just removing the card it'll boot up normally. I unrooted to see if that was the problem. Same result I've tried different cards reformatting and everything and the cards work on other devices. So I'm assuming its the phone. Is there a way to fix or am I just stuck with a phone that can never be rooted again ?
Also when I go into recovery I get the" E: can't open /cache/recovery/command"

I had Cyanogenmod 6.1.1alpha8.1 on my spica. Recently it got a little bit laggy so i decided to flash it with odin to restore the original firmware and install everything else from the beginning. I tried to flash it with I5700XXJH6. The flashing went fine, but when spica started booting, only the first, static bootlogo showed up and there was even no progress bar. After 20 minutes nothing had happened so i tried to flash it with 1.5, then install Lk10 to get into recovery mode, so i could get access to the phone's shell. Unfortunately, after flashing everything was the same - static bootlogo and no progress bar. Installing LK10 went fine, but the phone still wouldn't boot into recovery mode. I tried many different ROMs and one of them worked - the system booted properly, everything seemed to work at first glance, but when i inserted the SIM card and input the PIN code, the phone got stuck on "Unlocking SIM card". I tried rebooting many times but it didn't work.
Once again i tried to flash it with odin and everything was the same as before. I tried a few times, but now there's no download mode and when i connect the phone to the charger, nothing shows up on the screen.
Is there anything else i can try to do?
i had and solved the same issue yesterday.
I think part of the issue is maybe with a previous FileSystem conversion and another part with data/cache from previous Roms.
Try to make an install as clean as possible.
- I5700XXJH6 with Odin
- LK2.08 with odin
now you have an acessable recovery.
- boot the phone and put the CyanogenMod 6.1.1 alpha8.1 (found on 'forum dot samdroid dot net') on the root of the sdcard.
- shutdown the phone.
Important: disconnect the phone before booting in recovery, else it will boot normaly.
- boot in recovery (Volume down, accept call, on/off button)
- apply the downloaded zip.
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and wipe data/cache (factory reset)
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and make sure data,cache and system are rfs.
to change it to rfs 'advanced>filesystem conversion'
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
if not send me a PM.
I already tried installing I5700XXJH6 and LK2.08 but neither the system nor the recovery mode would load - only the first, static bootlogo showed up. I can't try again because the download mode doesn't work any more and when i connect the charger, the screen remains black.
As I wrote in the first post, i managed to get it working once, but it had problems with the SIM card, so i tried different ROMs, which seems to have broken my spica entirely.
Is there anything i can do to restore the download mode?
im assuming you tried starting downloadmode without it being connected to a pc.
I dont know how to restore downloadmode, perhaps the guys at the samdroid forum can help you out.
I tried to update my Aria from Cyanogen 7 RC 2 to RC 4 last night and phone got stuck on the spinning blue android boot screen. I didn't have enough space on sd card so I couldn't back up the old rom. I've done this multiple times but it wouldn't work this time. I put the rom on sd card, flashed into recovery using power+vol down. Wiped data/cache/Dalvik and tried flashing, yet it still gets stuck. I've tried flashing rom about 4 times now and it still gets stuck. Any help would be appreciated
Try formatting the system partition as well before flashing.
Here's the deal: I've been running dual boot for several months but yesterday upon trying to boot from the alterative partition to the main partition it froze at the boot screen.
I was able to get the boot screen to say "loading...." under the cyanogen logo or get it to say "loading alternate" or "booting into recovery", but the nook just freezes there no matter what I try. In fact, the more I hard reset the nook the worse it gets.
I have wiped, reinstalled, reflashed, re downloaded, and flashed from internal cwm and bootable sd. Once I reboot out of one partition to the other, it freezes.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas??

Can you run cm7 from an SD card?
Hey there,
I have a Desire z that was completely stock, no mods, no roms, S-on and all that. One day it had a hissy fit because it was trying to update all my apps via GPRS (didn't have the playstore app yet) and I stopped it. From then on, the phone kept on locking up, freexing, hard rebooting and so on, so I reset it back to Factory and installed playstore first.
Well that was all fine for about a month when the phone suddenly turned itself off, then got stuck in a boot loop for about 30 reboots, then it would work fine, then it would boot loop again and so on. So I entered HBOOT, tried to do a reset from there, and the phone froze...
Now the only thing I can access on the phone is the HBOOT and FASTBOOT menu. I don't have ADB access, so I can't push anything onto it (tried all the drivers I can find, ADB will recognise phone in FASTBOOT but not HBOOT). I have tried the official HTC Gingerbread updater, to no avail (detects phone in fastboot, tries to reboot into hboot, then hangs. Booting phone in HBOOT+USB and running that reports the 120 error, Battery below 30%). I took the rom out of the temp file and put it on the SD card, rebooted the phone, and it starts top update via that, but hangs on the first step (Flashing the bootloader partition)
I have tried soo many things, made about 20 Gold Cards, no idea if any of them were correct or not. I tried running the official HTC update on an XP machine, which is known to not show the 30% battery error, but the drivers wouldn't install.
So, at this point, I have a phone that won;t boot past the HTC logo, Hangs when updating via anything, no root, S-ON, no ADB access, no recovery mods, NADA.
So.. over to you guys...
Hi All
I searched all the threads related to boot loop but did not solve my problem. I was in stock lollipop and my phone was working without any issues. One fine day I felt that the phone is hot and tried rebooting. The phone was struck in the initial graphic screen. Tried restarting again but the same result. After multiple failed attempts, tried doing a factory reset from the recovery with no luck. Thought that something got corrupted, installed twrp and did a fresh install of the factory image. That also did not help. Then installed Chroma ROM and then back to Kitkat factory image and all the attempts failed. Then tried installing Chroma ROM again and after a long wait, it booted up. I inserted the sim card and the network was not detected and hence had to reboot again. The reboot resulted in the bootloop again. Then installed CM 12.1(without sim) and it booted after considerable amount of wait time. Then inserted the sim card and it was not detected and had to reboot again. Now struck again in the boot animation. Is this a hardware issue? Also does the SIM card insertion requires a restart in Nexus 4.
Tried clearing cache/ dalvik cache and did factory reset, file system check but nothing worked..
Can some one help me on this..

Have you tried out the Nexus Root Toolkit? I know most are against toolkits but it really can't hurt in your situation! Try following the guide while having the SIM installed. And yes, SIM card insertion requires a reboot.
Good luck!
