[Q] Stuck on Boot Animation/Bootloop

I've just SBFed my phone after flashing a bad rom, and when rebooting, it gets to the AT&T boot animation, then cuts back to the red M, over and over again.
EDIT: Fixed

[Q] Can't get into recovery, no matter what I do... (Rooted, running rom...)

Ok, I just started experiencing an issue. I suddenly can't get into recovery. Here is a little back history. My N7 was running CNA 3.6.6 (I know, but...), and I was bored so I decided to try ParanoidAndroid. Well, I have that gotta try something else feeling again, and when I try to get into recovery, it will go to the google screen, then go black for about 10 seconds, then go back to the Google screen and boot up. This happens if I reboot to recovery through the power menu, or getting into recovery from the bootloader. I even tried Quick Boot, in hopes it had some magic I didn't. No luck. The same crap. I even switched from TWRP to clockwork recoveries, and the same crap happens (I tried the same things I did originally).
Also tried through other apps too, like Rom Manager, Rom Toolbox, and TiBu. Everything works, but I am bored with this rom... I have tried turning it off, plugging the N7 into a PC and trying to get into recovery. Again, I can get into the bootloader, but as soon as I select recovery, it goes black, then fully reboots...
Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried re-flashing a recovery image, eg TWRP 2.3, from fastboot?

Thanks for the reply. I will give this a try (gotta wait until after 10pm...or 17 minutes!). Again, thanks, hope this works.

Scheiße, I reflashed TWRP in fastboot, and I am getting the same result. I think my N7 forgot it has a recovery!? I will try flashing clockwork through fastboot and see if this works. Thanks for your help...
Edit: Clockwork does not help. There is no recovery for me. I am now at a loss. Hopefully someone will have some suggestions...

Finally got my recovery back...damn latest bootloader!
Yeah, this has sucked. I have spent several hours figuring out what the hell went wrong. It turns out its the latest bootloader. Others are having this issue. So, I had to go back to stock (which will erase EVERYTHING) and then had to re-root. Now that my bootloader is back to JRO03D, I am back up and running.
So, the first time I did this route, I decided to take the update and re-root my N7, and ran into the same issue. I could not get into recovery. So, I had to do it all over, this time not taking the update and not updating the bootloaders, and I am now back and already have a ROM running and everything installed.
If you want to go this route, here are a couple of links that will help...
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/#entry764328 and go to the Back To Stock section. The next part is for rooting (if you wish to do this yourself)...

Any help?

[Q] Stuck at Yellow Sprint Screen

While trying to do the hotspot mod on my Sprint Galaxy s4, something went wrong. Phone will not boot past Yellow Sprint screen. I have tried full system reset by flashing stock rom with odin, but still no go. It says pass, but when rebooting, still stuck at yellow screen. Any ideas?

How long are you letting it sit there. It takes a few minutes to boot sometimes after a reset.

did you make sure you installed the right version??

strange odin always works for me...it takes mad long to boot but it works

Did you not take a Nandroid backup before trying this? If so restore.
This happened to me as well. Went ahead and restored. Then flashed stock with no root. Installed root and TWRP. Flashed through Odin Noobnl's bootloader upgrade file and then the latest stock kernel. Then I did a factory reset and the hotspot mod appeared finally and all is good.

I'm pretttyyyy sure the hotspot mod is for deodexed ROMs only. Make sure you are deodexed and not odexed. That will cause you to get stuck at the Sprint boot up screen.

Oh my fault, didn't know that! Maybe he flashed the opposite one that he was supposed to then?!
PS- To the OP... this thread is probably gonna be moved to Q&A.

I had this happen the other night while flashing both hotspot mod and 4 in 1 reboot mod. The only thing I could come up with (why it didn't work the first time but worked fine second time) is that I flashed from internal sd the first time but from my external the second time. Unfortunately I couldn't restore my nandroid because my phone wouldn't recognize my 64gb sd card while in recovery. (OUDHS)
To get out of it I just flashed crawj's stock rooted odexed ROM and then re-flashed both mods (from external sd) with no problems at all.

Ok. Downloaded Crawj's Stock root MDL data wipe zip file and flashed it from recovery mode. Still same problem. It was on Yellow sprint screen all night. I don't know what else to try.

OK GOT IT! Flashed a stock MDC ROM. It reset but keeps asking for a software update. I am a little nervous about doing update because I don't want to lose root.

My friend has sort of the same problem..but his is not app related. His phone just rebooted itself out of nowhere yesterday...he is 100% stock..not even rooted...it also hangs on the horrid yellow Sprint boot screen....it will boot fine into safe mode. So I rooted it, installed a new stock rom/modem/kernel...and still he is having the same problem. it can not be the battery otherwise safe mode would reboot too...but I am at a loss here..some other random hardware failure from some app that isn't loaded while in safe mode??

Same issue, please help

Did you figure out a fix for the stuck at yellow sprint screen? I too, installed the odex file and am now stuck on the yellow sprint screen. my phone doesn't boot up. I went into the cwm boot up and selected restore but that didn't fix it. I went into the normal boot recovery mode and selected data wipe/factory reset and it said that this was completed; however, I'm still stuck at the Yellow Sprint Screen.
Does anyone have a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please help somebody! I am in the same boat. Call me an idiot (I deserve it) for not making a backup after rooting.
Can someone please do a step by step on how to get past the annoying ugly yellow Sprint logo screen?

So I'm stuck as well on the Yellow Sprint Screen on boot. All I did was qbking77 root and wifi mod. At the end following his video he said to reboot the phone. Well now I'm stuck. I'm ODEX MF9 with 4.2.2. I followed the instuctions step by step, not sure what happened. Any help please? Thanks

Help Please!! Phone will not boot after trying to re-load ROM.

Ok, I went in today to reload MOAR ROM on my phone. I had initially thought to check if maybe there was a higher compatible firmware version than BOC4, so I posted to the thread, but then I figured everything was working fine on my phone so why bother.
I loaded NI2 and booted up into safestrap recovery.
Once in safestrap, I tapped wipe, but strangely, it was like the touch screen registered 2 rapid taps, and before I know it the phone is formatting. Me, I try to do a data wipe after this, silly me, and it doesn't work. It no longer seems to detect distinct partitions, probably cuz the entire internal drive just got formatted.
Anyways, I proceed to install MOAR, and then the BOC4 firmware. Now the phone starts to boot, gets to Samsung screen, hangs there for a few seconds, then reboots. It's caught in a boot loop. I am guessing that safestrap might have been removed, and I am looking advice as to how I might go about reloading it, if that is indeed my problem.
Or really, any pertinent advice on how I might make my phone function again would be greatly appreciated!

Worth noting, I am able to boot into Recovery, which I am pretty certain means that my phone is not bricked. Just not sure what to do from here. Thanks!

hmm.. I just tried factory reset in recovery, and now it maybe appears to be booting for first time. I have that spinning tornado boot animation that came with MOAR. Should maybe come up in 10-15 min, fingers crossed...

Did it work? If you formatted, assuming you are not on the latest bootloader, you'll need to flash the NCG restore tar and start the root process from the beginning.
Also, I'd suggest upgrading to @jrkruse latest safestrap, as it removes the format button.

CM12 mojo - Installed custom theme from playstore and having problems now.

So I flashed to CM12 and was loving it until today. I went to change my theme and noticed you can download themes from playstore so i did. Once I applied it everything went to ****e. For example I cannot open things like playstoreand other apps,ES file explorer doesn't recognize my internal memory, etc. I tried to reboot into recovery but I cannot do that either, all that happens when it reboots is a dead looking droid with its stomach open and a red exclamation triangle pops up on screen. After a few seconds it reboots again to home screen. So i dont think I'm completely bricked but cant do much now without getting into TWRP. Pics below are of my mojo screen during reboot into recovery and the theme i applied that caused all these issues. Please help!

The dead Droid is just the stock recovery reporting that it has nothing it can do. You will need to start over, reflash CM12, and this time flash TWRP recovery to the MOJO. Once you're up and running again, reboot into TWRP and take a backup; if you'd done that last time, before installing the theme, all you'd have to do is boot into TWRP and restore your backup.

That's the problem I can't reboot into TWRP to do anything. I'm trying to do it the PC way but can't figure it out.
