any ideas how to get out of it? did i brick my phone? D: (my first android phone) HELP PLEASE!
Have you tried pulling the battery, and start over?
yeah i did.
i also tried doing a wipe/factory reset ...which didnt work.
everytime i try to reboot the phone it takes me to the bootloading screeen. ;/
What were you trying to do? Unlock the bootloader?
uhm i was trying to root my phone, and was in the process of unlocking the bootloader.. so i did unlock it but now when i try to restart my phone or do anything it just takes me back to the bootloader screen. D:
I saw this happened to someone else on the development section.
He solved this by flashing a wiped nandroid backup...
can't seem to find the thread but look for it, it should be there.
My Nexus S is (was) doing the same thing this morning as well.
I had not done anything to it, hadn't even unlocked the boot loader. I plugged it in to charge overnight and when I woke up it was bootlooping on the animation. Battery pull - nothing. Pulled SIM - nothing.
The only way I was able to fix it was to go into recovery and go ahead and unlock the bootloader which forced a wipe. (How does one hard reset this thing anyhow?)
I'm a little concerned that this might happen again....
hrm, i tried locking and then relocking and doing a wipe but that doesnt work ;/ still takes me through the bootlooop. any other suggestions? D: thanks for tryinggg.

your problem is that it doesn't have a boot.img installed so it can't boot.
download koush's rootboot.img and..
Code:
./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
it will boot after that.
My phone also has the same problem
My phone has the same problem, can someone copy all the phones files for me please.

how do can i flash the phone if i can't mount my phone on my computer to put the files into the main directory? i need help please!!!! Someone with instructions?

my phones rooted and I have the Regaw mod ROM load on there, and its been good for a couple days now. Last night I went to sleep and forgot to charge my phone so figured the battery died. I plugged in it for about 10-15mins or so to turn it on and all it does is hang on the HTC bootscreen!!!! then I try to boot into recovery and all I get is at the bottom of the screen it says "Build : RA-HEROC-v1.5.2"!!!! Does this mean my phone is bricked!!!???
Remove the battery. Put it back in. Try to boot.
There are other solutions. As long as it turns on there should be a way to unbrick. Try RUU as well.
i tried the battery pull a couple times im trying the RUU now but what the hell could have bricked my phone over night?
I think what the guy in the 2nd post is trying to say, is that if it is booting, it isn't bricked.
It would be bricked if you couldn't do anything with it, then its like a brick.
I know it is probably a bit scary but ify ou can boot it at all, you most likely can fix it.
Did you make any changes (remove any files?) yesterday at some point, and this would have been the first restart?
I don't know, it could be a number of things.
It is probably not bricked. I bricked my G1 so I have some experience in that area. If you can boot into recovery it is not bricked. When I bricked my G1 I couldn't even get to recovery. let it charge a bit. Th battery is probably just dead. OR. take the battery out and plug it in and try to boot. Let it boot for about 15 mins or so.
no i didnt change anything at all, except my sd card said it was corrupted after unplugging it from my PC improperly. and I didnt reformat it right away. I just tried to RUU and i got an Error 170 a USB connection error

Where does the recovery image read from? I know we put it in the root folder of the SD, but does it actually boot from there? Could be your issue...
are you runnings apps2sd or whatever it is called?
yes that possibly could be my issue!! how can i fix my sd card or what should I do?
no I am not running apps to SD

I'm not so sure. I am pretty green when it comes to all this rooting stuff. I'm just trying to help figure it out.
Maybe try booting without the SD card in the phone? Could help to narrow down the issue.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge could help.
yea im booting it now with NO SD and its still hangs at the HTC screen

Can you try plugging it into your USB connection and getting into the ADB shell (in CMD) to see if you can access the phone even though it seems stuck.
I know I did this and was able to monitor the logcat when I thought it was stuck, but it was really just doing a whole bunch of stuff.
Just an idea....again, I'm just fishing here trying to help you out.
it tells me error: device not found
i went to (CMD) then cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and then adb devices
you might have to manually rewipe your recovery partition in cmd. I had to do that after the official ruu messed up my phone- it wouldn't boot at all, I had to use the fastboot command: fastboot oem boot, then using my nandroid backup restored my recovery.

im kinda of a noob at some of this so kinda need to explain it out lol ...I just booted to recovery and pressed *vol up* and got me to Fastboot Mode then it says press <Menu> to reset device, should I do that option?
okay i pressed menu and all that got me was it hanging again at the HTC screen.. should i do all of this with my SD card in or out of the phone?
When you boot it and it gets into the "partial" recovery mode, does the PC see the phone? Can you put RA-Heroc-1.6.2 onthe SD card from there? If so, I'd try flashing the new recovery from ADB...very easy...and see if that gets you a bit further along.
You might also try cheating a bit. See if you can pull a nandroid from the SD card (might have to do this with a card reader), then get Flipz's Kitchen and restore the Nandroid after you boot into recovery.
Just a couple of things I'd try....from experience...

okay this is what happens i press vol down and power then is load where the androids are on skateboards and it says press <HOME> for recovery along with a Fastboot mode and Simlock option. I press home and then I see the HTC screen for about 30 secs and then where I normally would see the recovery menu with all the green writing i see all black except at the bottom is says
Build : RA-heroc-v1.5.2

To follow this and break it down a bit more for you:
1. Plug in USB with phone off
2. Turn on phone and get it to the "blank" recovery screen.
3. Run through the flashing of the recovery rom image again (see HERE) but start at step 13 or so.
Try doing the above post..
Please delete, Ive fixed it

Ok first let me start by saying im sorry if this is in the wrong thread or a repeat. Ok so heres the issue, I had my phone rooted and had a custom rom on it. I downloaded a animation and boot screen and installed them. I had to reboot my phone, when done so it was stuck on the new boot screen for a long time. I tried turning off and on several times each with the same results. So i went into my recovery screen and wiped the the system and and did a factory reset. Im on twrp recovery. I rebooted my phone and it tells me no OS. I have no back up now and dont know what to do. Ive tried using the toolkit to go back to stock but it wont let me saying it cant extract the files. Does anyone have any ideas what to do please? I can get into fastboot mode, download mode and recovery but thats it! Please please please help lol!!!

this is exactly why people need to learn adb commands and push commands. you are not bricked. you wiped your system you should have just did a factory reset. as far as the tool kit not extracting I don't know what that's about. stop relying on tool kits. they make things easy yes. but it takes the learning curve away

If you can get into fastboot you are NOT bricked.
Read up on how to manually flash files in fastboot.

I also tried to partition my sd card using twrp.
Flashing of twrp seemed not successful using fastboot. So I unplugged the USB-Cable and restarted in recovery and twrp was there!
So I went further and tried to partition sd. Unsuccessful. Then I decided to give up and rebooted to system.
Phone screen remained black. I tried everything to boot phone. No reaction at all. No vibration, nothing. Only when I connect the charger the buttons light up for 5 secs. But no way to boot, not fastboot, nor recovery or system. Just nothing.
I tried then to disconnect the battery (It's a replaced battery already) but also this did not help.
No I really need help...
Unfortunately above links are outdated....
Has noone an idea what else I could try please??

I searched all over for a problem that I had been having on my G2. It woudn't recognize on the computer when I plugged in. i used to be able to transfer photos from my phone to the PC by plugging in USB cable. But then it stopped showing up.
After much searching, I went into the device hidden menu and did a device test. That was when it began going into bootloop. All it does is go to the LG logo and restarts continuously.
I have tried powering off then holding the power and volume down button to do a factory reset which will usually bring me to the Philz recovery. But now, it takes me to the screen where it says factory reset but it doesn't go into recovery. It just starts the boot loop all over.
The reason why this is so important is because I have photos from my father's funeral last week that I need to get off of the phone.
Can someone please help me?
Unbrick it with testpoint then try some app like diskdigger to restore photo
Any other suggestions?

some way to push recovery to phone. check out skr tools not sure if it can be of use,
I downloaded the tool, the SRK tool and tried it. Problem is, it won't stop boot looping. I can get it into download mode also but the tool won't do anythingwith the phone.
Also, I'm not trying to flash a rom or do a complete reset. My main goal is to get the pictures off of the phone.

Does anyone know if there is a way to place a rom onto the phone via download mode? Maybe by doing so the pics will still be on the phone.
My HTC U Ultra suddenly froze past nigth, then it rebooted... and never came back, it won't go past the HTC logo over and over. I am not able to enter in recovery mode either, the only thing I can do is, by pressing both volume buttons and power, entering in what seems to be fastboot menu. In that state I can send the phone fastboot commands (no adb commands though) but If i try to wipe it it says "unable to do in s-on" or similar. I was pretty happy with this phone, and spent a few bucks in a new battery not two months ago.... anything I can do?
Thanks.
PS: I failed to state that the phone is stock, not unlocked or rooted.
If it has just happened out of the blue and you haven't been doing anything with your phone, have you tried a simple reset? (Press and hold volume down and power button until your phone vibrates - Usually about 20 seconds for me)
If not, and you are struggling to get into recovery etc, see if you can follow the method in the thread linked below if you are currently on stock rom!?
(Not sure if this would delete all your data or not, so perhaps only use as a last resort....)

Reset doesn't work, and the other procedure didn't work either.
If I leave it plugged to the charger, it will fall into an endless reboot loop. Sometimes (few) it will end up booting, but If i try to do something with the phone it doesn't respond and reboots again.
Thanks.
As you can send fastboot commands, can you flash a recovery.img (i.e. TWRP), and then wipe cache and dalvik/art to see if that helps, but if not, flash corresponding rom to that which you already have?

I tried that, too, but didn't work. If I do a fastboot devices it detects the phone, but if I do a fastboot getvar all it doesn't give me any information, it doesn't admit adb commands, when I try to flash a rom or a recovery, it fails, I suspect it needs to have the USB debugging enabled, but I can't enable it in this state.
As I said before, if I leave it plugged to the charger, It will randomly end up booting (it can happen in the third loop or in the 50th), but it will freeze or reboot again in few seconds.
Ah I see, if you haven't got USB debugging enabled then I am unsure how to help sorry. Have you got your media backed up, or stored on micro sd? If so, might have to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Maybe someone else would be able to help you further?

The data is not a problem, every important file has been backed up.
Regarding factory reset, since the device won't go to recovery, I can't see how can I do it.
-- Edit --
I noticed that when the phone is cold, those few times it boots, it lasts a little bit more (a matter of seconds) until it freezes again, so I tried to leave it in the freezer for a few minutes, and tried to boot it, and had enough time to do a factory reset. The factory reset worked, because now, when it boots, it goes straight to the intial setup, but keeps hanging after a few seconds. I suspect that the internal memory was somehow damaged, I don't think there is much left to do...
Is it possible to skip setup in order to get to settings and enable USB debugging so you can install a recovery?
If you can, then it might be an idea to try performing a repair of all the partitions and install a fresh ROM... Just to ensure it isn't a hardware issue!!

I can't see how to skip initial setup... and I don't have time enough to go through it, the phone will hang in 30 seconds or less. At this point, I really needed a working phone, so I bite the bullet and bought a new one... I will deal with the old one later, or I might sell it for parts.
Thanks everybody for the help.
No worries, enjoy your new phone
