Turned my phone off and back on a couple of days ago and now the phone boot loops after showing the telstra logo.
I have Hboot and fastboot access but no recovery. (does the same thing, just boot loops), even though I had clockworkmod installed. It's as if everything just wiped itself.
My hboot is version 0.80.0008 and it says S-ON.
What could I do from here to revive my phone? Would a gold card be the only way?
I have created some other posts but none had been replied to, any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've had one bootloop before, which was solved by removing sd card and booting up then replacing, hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've already tried booting without the SD card in with no success. It's quite frustrating because I was only playing music before I turned it off.
Any other suggestions? Anyone?
which rom are you using?
my h-boot is 0.80.0004 s on.
was there anything new loaded on phone prior to your bootloop problem?
i had another issue after loading some new tunes on sd card, even though they were fine on pc, they made my phone schitz out, kept on rebooting and made sd card read only, i know its a longshot but i'm trying to think of anything i can
I'm using SUnAaBh v1.1 which is quite ironic because it was renowned to be one of the most reliable and stable roms out there haha.
I did get fruit ninja but it had been a while since I reset it so I don't know for sure what it could be since I've put various things on, but none that I could think of that would potentially force a boot loop.
I do really appreciate your help. It provides some hope until I can get my hands on a gold card
Is there any other way that you know of to flash it while it is in the current state?
have you tried rooting using unrevoked again and installing clockworkmod?
What mode would I have to be in for unrevoked to recognise my phone?
As I cannot boot into the phone, USB debugging is a no go. Does unrevoked recognise a device in fastboot or something similar?
Thanks.
Boot into Clockmod Recovery and then try to clear cache & DALVIK cache. Then boot again and wait some Minutes.

Hi Deep-Knight. That would have been my first option but as I stated, for some reason selecting recovery from HBOOT just makes the device loop boot after the telstra logo again, it doesn't boot into clockworkmod recovery anymore.
I don't understand why.
Thanks

was your phone already with usb debugging enabled before this bootloop? if it was already enabled, unrevoked will work fine.
(i always keep it enabled)
Hmm, originally when I used unrevoked I would have had it enabled (obviously) but since then I've flashed other roms using clockworkmod. So everytime you flash a new rom, it gets rid of USB debugging unless you enable it again correct?
Therefore I don't think USB debugging is enabled on mine. Ahh, it's so annoying.
I have it on HBOOT and plugged into my pc but Unrevoked isn't picking it up, I assume it's because I don't have USB debugging enabled, or am I wrong?
Thanks guys, really appreciate it!
it shouldn't change usb debugging, all the roms i have flashed its still there after being turned on once. check your messages too, sent you some info on telstra
Oh okay, I still have no luck with unrevoked though. Tried it on a different PC with the HBOOT modified drivers. Just stuck on "Waiting for device..."
ADB commands also do NOT work, so I am lead to believe that usb debugging is NOT enabled?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.
EDIT: NEVER MIND, I got it working! I found a recovery zip (PC49IMG.zip) and renamed the cyanogenmod as update.zip, put them both on my SD card and booted into recovery!
Clockwork stated there wasnt enough room on E: (whatever drive that is) so I flashed all data and installed cyanogenmod.
Thanks heaps everyone, means a lot to me
PS - I dont know why clockwork mod decided to boot this time but it did. Maybe because it had to room, it couldnt boot? I don't know, I'm not that experienced with these things.
good to hear mate, now go and get some credit from telstra
Dropped my nexus 4 yesterday and it fell right on the edge of the screen shattering it. First time I've broken a phone, and this one seems like a particularly bad one to have broken - no reasonable price screen replacement with the screen attached to the digitizer.
Anyway the phone boots up and charges fine, but I can't unlock it, which means my computer isn't connecting to it. Is there any way I can save all of my photos and other files?

To be clear, I can't check because I can't get past the lock screen. I also have no way of turning the phone off, I just have to wait until the battery runs out and then I have one chance to turn it on. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do in recovery mode that might help?

Setup adb http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Plug the phone in while its at the lockscreen, and run "adb devices". If the command returns the serial number of the phone let me know and I'll give you further guidance. If it doesn't it'll take a bit more work but we should still be able to get it done.

Set it up, but no devices listed
It's frustrating because it's so tantalizingly close. I have a pretty good idea that when I send it in to LG they are probably just going to send a different refurb back. I find it hard to believe that they do a 1 to 1 repair job on each phone that comes in.

Alright. This is what you'll need to do: unlock the bootloader, flash cwm recovery, boot into cwm, use adb to copy the contents of your SD card to your PC.
Read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 . only follow the parts to unlock the boot loader and flash clockworkmod custom recovery. Make sure that you flash the recovery right after unlocking (without rebooting in between) otherwise data will get wiped. )
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone.
Sent using xda-developers app
Search for how to unlock the bootloader without wiping all your data. Would be moot otherwise...
Of course if all that's been done in the past and you already have cwm/twrp, just boot to that and you'll be able to adb in.
Also, you can hold onto the power button for 10s to force it to power down.
EDIT: restarted and tried again, making some progress now.

Again, that's why we go into cwm/twrp. Insecure debugging is enabled there.
Awesome, it appears to be copying everything over now!
Can't thank you enough! Just saved a years worth of pictures and videos, that pretty much chronicle the start of my current relationship up to the present.
Of course right now it is just pulling all of the EA real racing data, but I assume it will eventually get to the pictures, haha.

Apologies, i was a bit rushed. So i'm trying to get all my pics/data off my phone as my screen is smashed and i had a pattern lock on. My phone did not have usb debugging enabled. So i unlocked the bootloader, didn't do a reboot, flashed a custom recovery and then entered the recovery. However, my device isn't recognised in windows once i enter recovery and as such when i run "adb devices" no device is listed.
In the original instructions, it says:
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone
So how come once I load my recovery, when in cmd prompt, "adb pull /data/media" doesn't seem to work?
I'll be honest, i'm a little lost at this point and just really don't want to lose all my pics and thought i could get them this way before sending my phone for repair/replacement (it is insured)

Before you can run the adb pull command, you'll need to get your phone recognized by "adb devices". Try installing Koush's adb driver.

Same issue here. My pocket got warm earlier and i pulled out my phone and it was in CWM. Rebooting only brought it back to CWM. Phone is not recognized by PC (with correct drivers) and I can't get into download mode at all. Was able to flash TWRP through CWM because i had a zip of it on the phone. But even with TWRP, every reboot to... option just takes me back to recovery.
Install pdanet, while phone is connected in recovery mode to pc open pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then open adb in ur pc and type adb devices and if it sees then open sideload in twrp or cwm and push Rom to phone.

You will probably have better luck posting in the M9+ forum. I have never heard of this flash tool, but the dedicated xda thread for it seems to be full of bricks.
From the sound of it, you either flashed the wrong file or flashed the right file to the wrong place.
Just curious if the pc detects the device will an RUU detect it?

Usually something like "USB Preloader Device" means a low-level brick because the PC can't tell what it is. For a RUU to work, it has to be detectable by ADB, not just Device Manager.
Would putting the RUU on the sdcard make any difference? I am still new to htc.
On my samsung I hard bricked once and recovered by putting a bin file on my sd card. There is an app called partition backup on play store that allows someone to make such file. Would that work? I think someone could make a backup and then post it.

Not knowing what state he put it in, it's hard to say. Worth a try.
But if the bootloader is corrupted, the phone will never get to the point of reading the sdcard.

A hardware un bricking tool (sure there used to be a tool for htc devices xtc was it? Could be wrong?) or RMA seems to be your only options now.
Obviously try the holding all buttons and waiting for the vibrate method then try to get to bootloader mode. If that fails I'd be aiming to get it replaced, good news is if it is totally bricked, chances are HTC will just think the bootloader went on you.
