[Q] A little bit stuck, need ideas.

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

Bootloop

Hi
I have an HTC Legend, but it's so buged
When i try to turn it on, it has to be connected to a cable, or else it goes into bootloop.
I've tried to make a factory reset, tried to install a different RUU, tried to downgrade it, but the adb shows no devices.
I've run out of ideas, so please help me

Somehow I managed to get the same issue. It goes into bootloop unless it's connected to a pc... I already went back to the stock 2.2 rom and deleted everything but nothing changed.
Funny thing is that after I got this problem I first installed the old 1.31 rom and that one worked without the usb cable. The 2.05 to. But as soon as I installed the 3.14 it started again with the bootloop thing...
Did you find any solutions?

Ok, after installing the stock rom I noticed that the usb is not working so I just needed to unbrick the phone and that solved a problem.
(I just did not think about that before because usb was still working when I installed cm7 but the bootloop problem was already there.)

What exactly means unbricking the phone?
I got simillar problems: since CM7 final I have bootloops when my phone isn't connected to power. Also I can't mount the sd card from a computer (when I press the button on the phone it works for like 5seconds and then unmounts again).
I already tried downgrading again to CM7 RC4 and other versions(I always wiped before), but the problem persists. Also upgrading to another radio version didn't work .

after this do a usb brick to use your usb http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309961/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/

I had exactly the same problem, the USB unbrick linked to above solved the problem. If you need the image hex edited for you give me a shout

[Q] Please Help!! Flashed wrong version of software!

Hi guys. I had a 32gb G2 and i was able to root it, upgrade it to 4.4 and use it without a hitch.
Today i got another one (16gb version) and flashed a kitkat rom i had around without stopping to check if it was 16 or 32gb (i forgot they had this difference). Well, now i got phone that i cannot use (im stuck at the SIM card PIN). What happens is that the screen is erratic. i click 2 and it registers 7...i click 5 and it selects simultaneously 123 and so on. basically i cannot pass this screen to enable all the good stuff.
Is there any way i can solve this?
I have a LG G802.

Boot without SIM card, connect to USB and transfer correct ROM. Boot into recovery, flash proper ROM. If you can't boot without SIM card you can probably use adb push to just push the ROM onto the sdcard and then reboot to recovery + flash.

Ok. will implement & report

My problems just keep getting worse.
Since i wanted to go full stock i ended up downloading a kdz file a nd followed the tutorial on http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-lg-g2/
well...that didnt work. the process initiated and somewhere along the way the app stopped, and the only thing i could undestand was a "EMERGENCY something". After like 1hr with nothing happening, i unplugged the phone and got some corrupted partitions.
I then turned to the tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 ...but damn! i cant reboot properly. now all the phone does is boot up to the lg logo and nothing else happens. windows doesnt detect it, linux doesnt detect it and adb doesnot detect it. am actually crying now....IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SOLVE THIS?....im kinda desperate here. This is a brand new phone!

If you go to download mode and you can flash things via odin and it fails, it probably means that you have a defective usb port. Try another usb port and see if it solves the problem.

Hi Mate,
If is restarting all the time it looks like is in contant reset , check you power button , maybe is stuck

system protected
Today it turn on for 5 minutes and I connected it to my pc to access it folder, i tried to delete some files and i got the message that android cannot be deleted the system is write protected. I removed it from the pc and tried to delete in its file manager the files where deleted but they came back and again it started restarting. I think that's the reason why its failing to install a new rom because of the protection. What else can i try?

S4 I9505 not booting after changed sim card tray

Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, which is not booting anymore after I tried to change the sim card tray. It gets stuck on the Samsung logo at boot. Recovery won't boot either. (says recovery booting but does not boot) I can only get it to download mode. I tried reflashing recovery with heimdall. Is there any way to recover data or fix the phone? I know it could be a hardware fault that's practically impossible to fix. Strange symptoms for a hardware fault though. Just looking for any ideas. It would be nice to at least dump data from it or get recovery booting.
Thank you for your help!

Try a different bootloader.
Or flash another rom with Odin.

Where can I find a bootloader to install? I tried googling a bit but couldn't find a clear answer. Do the modem files also have the bootloader, should I flash a new modem file?

Modem and bootloader are different files.
You can find modems and bootloaders this thread. You may have to scroll through the comments to find what you're looking for.

Tried flashing a new bootloader. Now I get a message that "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" It still does not boot into TWRP recovery. I tried flashing another version of TWRP, but no difference.

Try this:
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone starts to boot, release the power button but keep holding the volume up and home.

Which version of odin would you suggest me to use? I tried with 1.85 and that didn't help. I'm starting to think that this might be a hardware fault, perhaps I broke something when tearing off the old sim card tray. Or the new part was faulty and somehow fried my phone. I have a backup from about a month ago. It was stupid not to take a backup before attempting to replace the sim card tray, but I tought it wouldn't be so dangerous.

Its not hardware problem. Hoy have a bootloop and Thats software problem. If you had stock recovery then the cause of bootloop also broken your recovery mode.
You will have to flash a full stock rom (Sam mobile web has them) or search here on xda.
A full stock rom has updated bootloader and módem, also stock recovery built in.

That also means losing all my data if I can't boot recovery beforehand. But perhaps I have to try that.

If you had usb debugging enabled you might be able to pull the data from the phone.
Odin 1.85 seems really old. I mean really old. You should use Odin 3.x. I had success with Odin 3.09 in the past.

Would it be enough if I flashed just stock recovery+modem+bootloader or something like that? I had usb debugging enabled, but since I cant get the system to boot at all it's of no use.
Can I use adb in stock recovery? I think the stock rom won't boot with my current data still on the device. I had cyanogenmod 12.1 installed. Haven't had stock rom in ages.

I prefer Odin 3.07 for all of my flashing needs. I have used it on a note 2, note 3, s4, s3, and s2.
If the flash fails, try different USB cables and different USB ports.
