Can't get past bootloader...

So i installed a bootanimation and now my aria cant access the recovery/clockwork
it remains stuck on the bootloader in an endless cycle. The phone itself work's just the problem accessing recovery.

i also have a Nandroid backup on my SDcard if that helps :/
EDIT::: So after countless attempts of mashing unrevoked2 my bootloader finally got past the SPL entering clockwork and i restored my nandroid . but i'd like to leave this thread open for future cases for when it does happen to someone else and hopefully come up with a real resolution.
thanks

If you can access you phone and use any program you can try this program called Quick Boot. It will allow you to get into Fastboot, Recovery, and reboot phone. Here is the link hope this helps

Why didnt you just go into clockwork? Pull the USB cord, pull the battry to power down. Reinsert the battery. Hold the vol down button and press power. When Hboot appears, let go of the vol down button. After a few secs, scroll down to recovery and start clockwork. If you're in a boot loop when you bork the OS, pull the battery.

Funny you posted this, thought mine was a one off. I installed the new DriodX animation and it got stuck in a boot loop

i wasnt actually stuck in a boot loop/ the phone itself would start up and everything i could make calls send messages and what not. But if i went from the SPL(i think its called) and tried to enter recovery that's when it would send me back to the bootloader/SPL screen, the only option i could execute without it sending me back was 'reboot'

ah okay. Probably the recovery didn't complete flashing the first time. Glad you got it sorted out.

[Q] Stuck at Google log, can't access recovery

After flashing CM 11, I haven't been able to get past the phone set up (instantly crashes). After downloading a CM 10.1 ROM on to the phone and wiping the phone, I also deleted the ROM. Then the phone restarted itself and now I'm just stuck at the Google logo, and cannot access recovery. I remember having a similar issue on the Galaxy S, but don't remember the solution.
Trying to turn the phone off by holding the power button down for ten seconds just restarts the phone in the same state.
Any ideas?

Try to turn it off completely, start the phone in fastboot (bootloader) mode, and then flash the factory image

Holding down the power button for 10 seconds just restarts the phone. Is the battery removable?

That worked, thanks!
You just saved me a lot of time waiting for the battery to die
Just out of curiosity, does flashing the stock ROM keep root and CWM or do I have to install these again?

Is it a flashable zip or are you flashing a factory image?
If your flashing the factory image and you're using the flashall.bat yes you will have to reflash root and a recovery

It was a factory image. Is there a need for a custom recovery or is the default fine?

you have to time it correctly. Turn on the phone holding power and volume down. Then when the logo shows. Quickly (not too quickly) release two buttons and press them again and hold them until recovery factory reset screen appears then press two times power button to get into recovery.

Your bootloope, can you get into download mode? Try vol up and power. Then vol down to recovery....

Got a reply from the other thread:
Use this method (scroll down to where it says Master Reset with Hardware Keys). I ran into this issue a few times, and this is how I can get back into TWRP (when you follow the instructions, instead of wiping everything it boots into TWRP)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-7590 [start from "when LG Logo is displayed", since you can't power off]
(NB: It says T-mobile, but it works for all variants)
THIS WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks again guys!

[Q] Please help! Stuck at LG Splash screen on boot

I am rooted and had PhilZ recovery installed on the vs980. I wiped data, cache, and davlik to install a new rom, but the install failed. After the install failed I realized I had deleted my backups I had. When I went to reboot the phone said it could not find root and would attempt to root on its own or something of that matter. I am now stuck on the lg spash screen with the led blinking green/blue. I cannot boot into recovery or download mode by holding the volume+power buttons the phone just vibrates and turns off for a sec then right back to the lg screen. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

Yeah try booting into recovery but a little differently this time.. Turn the phone off, hold power and volume down to turn it on but keep holding it until it shuts off again. Then press power and volume down again until the LG logo appears. Release and press them again quickly like normal. This has worked for me in the past when I couldn't boot into recovery. Idk why but it did.. Give it a try

[Q] Help please !! Autostart f bootloop "Recovery Booting screen" after flashing Twrp

[Q] Help please !! Autostart f bootloop "Recovery Booting screen" after flashing Twrp
Long time xda lurker here,
I have just thrown my t mobile note 3 into an autostarting bootloop that i dont know how to recover from. I have successfully used this same process 4 times on 4 devices, S 3, tab 2,galaxy light and lg volt. Although this time i used mobile odin as the flash tool.
I flashed twrp to the note 3 because it didnt have any recovery at all. Ive had this phone rooted for about a year without a recovery. After flashing twrp now it constantly autostarts to the logo screen and in top left corner it says recovery booting then it restarts with the same result. Ive tried leaving the battery out for an hour but when i reinsert it, i dont even have to push power and it starts bootlooping again. I cant get in download mode,safe mode, recovery mode, anything mode. Im at a loss. Any advice,any at would be appreciated. Is there any way to fix this.

If the phone turns on by itself when you put the battery in then it's almost certainly the Power switch on the mainboard or the plastic Power button (which is what we interact with).
If that's happening on your phone the first thing to check is the case (if present), to make sure it's not pressing on the Power button.
Next would be to take the phone apart and gently pry the plastic Power button off (there's two legs that hold it in - be careful not to snap them off).
Finally, the Power switch itself - it may just be gunked up, in which case you can try compressed air or electronic contact cleaner (be sure to remove the battery first!) and exercise the switch to get it working.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the switch.

I am going to give that a look right now but it wasnt stuck before flashing twrp. Mobile odin said it was going to restart then it immediately started doing this.
Ok going to check power button now.

The power button seems to be clean on the board and its free on the case, unfortuanately that wasnt the problem.

I've had this before and in my case the Recovery is in place but the boot loop will not let you access it.
Try forcing the phone down by holding down power for >8secs. Then as soon as it goes off, press Vol Up + Home + Power to go to Recovery. If it works, Factory Reset and see if it starts.
If that doesn't work, (Factory) then try flashing a ROM from your extSD if you have one, or flash the TWRP Recovery from there.
If that doesn't work either, remove battery and as you put it back in, have Home + Vol Down + Power pressed as you push battery in - just have battery sitting ready to push in with 1 finger holding it, press the 3 buttons and push battery home. Go into DL mode and Odin a firmware. Get the TWRP .tar file from TeamWiz and flash it from Odin after the ROM. Take the tick out of 'Auto Reboot for both processes. Take phone down, restart in Recovery and flash SuperSU.

Ok journeyman16,
Trying those 1 by 1 right now. Hopefully 1 will work, thanks for reply.

Nothing stops the "recovery booting" bootloop. Although for some reason i now have to actually push the power button before the power comes on after a reinsertion of the battery. But still same bootloop. Idk getting really discouraged with this one.
By the way, I do have an ext SD card with 2 nandroid and a titanium backup but they are useless with what it's doing

That's strange. It might be a timing issue where you aren't doing the DL mode buttons quick enough. DL mode should be available if it gets far enough to try Recovery boot. Did you try having the 3 buttons pressed and holding them down before pushing the battery in? (as in Vol Down + Menu + Power) I ask because it can be awkward to do it all at once - and it takes only a split-second lift of a finger to miss the boot.

Yes i have tried it a hundred times at least, lol. I was holding the buttons then pressing it against my leg to insert the battery fully.
I dont understand it either. Im at the point of just leaving the battery out for about 8 hrs then trying again, basically a hope and a prayer situation.

After my 2 1/2 hrs of sleep i put the battery back n and it went in download mode thankfully.
Tried to start it normally but it just loops to logo without recovery booting on thr screen.
Guess i wiped it somehow with mobile odin. Idk.
Thanks for all the help.
Ill be using regular odin when i get home to restore it.

Note 3 is working better than new
As an update, I ended up putting the tweaked ROM with custom kernal on my device and it just purs along at lightning speed now.That's an absolutely wonderful ROM. I highly recommend it. Only problem is if the battery dies it goes into a bootloop but as soon as I connect the charger it boots up. Not a ROM problem I don't believe though. Oh well thanks for the help guys.
