[Q] Phone "stuck" on Motorola Logo

I'm having a problem with my Droid X using the 2.2 Froyo update. My phone was rooted using 2.1 when I updated to 2.2 and I started getting this problem. If my phone turns off then when it tries to turn back on it will get "stuck" at the Motorola logo screen. I say "stuck" because I discovered I can still use my phone, I can unlock it, open things, turn it off, it works except it only shows the boot up screen. I can get around this by leaving my battery out for several minutes, then it will boot up fine. I've already tried several things to fix my phone but nothing has worked. What I've tried so far:
Unrooting my phone
Rerooting my phone
flashing a "stock" 2.2 SBF
reset to factory defaults
I'm out of ideas except for trying to get my phone replaced by Verizon. So my question is what's left for me to try? Otherwise, will I be able to return my phone to verizon despite it being rooted at one point? Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out here.
EDIT: I noticed my phone didn't have this problem if my SD card was removed, so I tried reformatting it but that hasn't solved anything either...

Have you tried the 2.2.1 leak? This gives you a new kernel and bootloader.

If the phone is not rooted when you take it into the Verizon store then you will be fine. I would ensure that any traces of root have been removed from the SD card (apps that require root, etc). As long as the phone is stock when they see it then it will be fine. I have had to do this several times with roms and root access.

Can't you just SBF it? I'm fairly new to the X but I've had to SBF rescue my D1 and D2 multiple times.
OOOPS didn't read the SBF part...
If it is still hosed after an SBF install I would guess that you have a hardware issue and need to replace the phone.

It's a known issue with 2.3.15. gmanapps, the guy that created the hdmi app in the market said it was the video driver not loading up in time because of some code changes Motorola made; but supposedly it's fixed in 2.2.1. I suggest you don't upgrade to 2.2.1 until there is a full sbf.
I get stuck on the "M" logo 7 times out of 10 after every reboot; I just hold the power button down until the pop-up window comes up (of course I can't see it) and guess where the shutdown press is on the screen to power off the phone, and then power on again after a minute or two. This trick usually works.

[Q] G3 bricked (i guess) Please Help me out ppl

I downloaded the kies version of the firmware of the froyo update and updated the firmware using odin.
After i installed froyo, i wanted to root to apply swype patch and everthing went ok but when i restarted, the phone was stuck on the i5801 loading screen for about an hour
so i flashed the firmware again.
Odin saves the data onto phone and restarts the phone and the phone opens recovery mode but now it gets stuck on a screen saying "delete app data"... "delete files please wait" and it has been stuck there for about 3 hours now and even when i try and open recovery mode, it opens but then this screen comes up
i tried flashing multiple times but nothing works, cant even factory reset now
Please help me out..
note:odin for a change shows a disabled reset time box.. it is faded out)
add http and enter "dl.dropbox.com/u/26157339/compressed.jpg"
here is a screenshot of the screen at which my phone has been stuck for about 3 hours
Also suggest if i should go to the service center coz the phone is under warranty, i really doubt theyd do it for free considering its rooted but i dont mind paying up.
And let me know if there is anyway the service center ppl will know i rooted/flashed

Try taking out the battery and then putting it back, and press the 2 volume buttons+home+power until the phone boots up in recovery mode... Try wipping the memory from there

that is the entire problem, as soon as it goes into recovery mode it starts off like shown in the screenshot
therefore it is not displaying the menu (which has options to factory reset/clear cache) instead its jumping directly to the update sequence but then getting stuck at deleting apps

Try flashing a different firmware, such as an eclair rom. Note that your phone is 5801, so look for those firmwares.

k ill try flashing an eclair rom. I did flash firmware specific to my version it self..
But the problem is that even after the flashing is done, the recovery window has to open where the update begins and thats when the "deleting apps" screen kicks in and doesnt progress
never the less ill try flashing another rom/firmware and see

Hmm, that is weird. Did you flash the bootloader?

tried flsahing a eclair firmware but no luck..
odin runs for a couple of mins, and says pass but still the phone is stuck on the delecting apps screen..'
For some odd reason, my recovery mode is hell bent on deleting some apps but is not able to and is getting stuck and therefore i cant reset/ clear cache..
Do u ppl think this could be coz of the root??
Please suggest something, i dont want to know my phone is bricked for ever considering its not even been a year since i bought it

a second flashing of eclair did it thanks man!!!

it usually works if you flash the very first rom that worked the last time you got problems.
did you flash with your sdcard in your phone?
anyways im just glad you fixed it

[Q] Help! 2.2 Problems and 2.1 Revert!

Hi There thismorning I flashed my i5800 that I purchased from Carphone Warehouse with the I5800XWJPF 2.2 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 using ODIN.
The first time I tried it all seemed to be successful, and I then proceeded to root it with SuperOneClick and began restoring my phone using titanium. Then halfway through it crashed, and with no input from me my phone rebooted. It then got stuck on the I5800 boot screen. I finally managed to get it to work be re-flashing the JPF firmware. I Then factory reset the phone (forgot to last time). Now I have finally managed to restore to my phone to how it was.. ish.
When I reboot the phone it take forever to run the Media Scanner and no widgets other that the Google search load up. Also icons are missing. Aswell as thos issues the phone runs slower than it did, and crashes often. I have fired up angry birds and it was just a juttering mess. Based on all this I decided to revert back to 2.1.. and oh oh.. can't find my firmware.
My initial firmwares were:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
Phone: I5800XXJG3
CSC:I5800XXJG5
It was rooted using z4 root and had live wallpapers enabled.
Help!
What can i do to fix this?

Okay, it seems to have now settled down after several reboots, but it seems to loose around 30% of the home screen icons upon reboot. Is this normal? And does it happen on the JPM firmware that was suggested above?

No it is not normal. Do a factory reset, flash any 2.1 rom from www.samfirmware.com and then JPM.

I've got XWJPF and no problems. It runs very smooth. Something else is wrong.

Try flashing it to the earliest stock version of 2.1 that works, do a factory reset, then using Samsung kies, update it to the latest version available on there. Then try and reflash your choice of 2.2 rom. I had similar trouble with mine when I first started. I would recommend flashing CWM recovery as well, the samsung recovery is crap. XXJPQ seems to be available now and is getting some good reviews, fast and stable like JPF, but more up to date. Also try using SuperOneClick to root, has the best results to my knowledge. Some roms take a while to load all the app icons on boot, depending on the amount of apps you have it can sometimes take a little bit. I've found letting the phone go idle for a minute can get rid of the loadup lag. The ram gets topped out easily on the G3 if you have lots of apps that load at startup, which will severely slow the phone down.
Hope this helps!

More Problems
Okay, Now after a few restarts and crossing my fingers the icon thing has started to work, aswell as everything else clearing up. But now the app sizes are very small according to application manager, (angry birds - 2.2mb) and many third party apps reading 0bytes. Another thing is that Bluetooth refuses to work. It vibrates once when enabled, then another 3 times in quick succession and then the force close dialog appears. After clicking force close the box disappears and the phone responds again. I then manage to pai with a device but when I went to send a file, the dialog box and the vibrates appeared again and it refused to send. Any ways to fix?

Factory reset->reflash->factory reset.
Keep back ups!
All that you say is abnormal.

About your disappearing icons:
Are you using the (stock) TouchWiz launcher? If so, that has a (known) bug on 2.2 that all links to apps which were moved to sd card disappear if you unmount the card (which includes reboot). Are the apps that disappear on the sd card?

Reflash
Okay, to start with I will try the factory reset, flash, factory reset that was suggested. And by the way the disappearing apps were not on the sd card... Strange.. If this failds i will do as suggested by flashing to the earliest version, the update via Kies. I was trying to avoid this because of internet allowance..
Thanks for all the replies by the way

Rooting and restoring.. will post results in a few minutes time!

I'm halfway through restoring my settings via Titanium, and I keep getting the single vibrate, roughly 10 second delay, than a very fast triple vibrate, exactly the same as it did just before bluetooth crashed... Is something else wrong?

Okay, I've restored rooted and reflashed it and... ... still the same..

Titanium
Is it possible that this is caused by me restoring my phone settings from 2.1 to 2.2 through titanium?

If you need the original firmware to return it to stock pm me and ill upload it somewhere for you

I have just sent a bluetooth file! After another flash and wipe.. but havent restored or rooted. Don't think I will bother really. I now have a working phone! Thank you!

You must restore only apps. Restoring system configurations and apps data will cause problems. If I'm wrong correct me.

[Q] Screen doesn't turn on but wasn't rooted?

So i would say I have a pretty bad problem. Randomly my phone shut off, and when i tried turning it back on, the logo would show up but the screen would later be turned off and only the buttons would light up(home, back, settings, search) THIS IS THE SGH-T959 Model.
I DID NOT root my phone or anything, and the state in which it is in right now i THINK is called a "brick"? My phone randomly keeps vibrating and the buttons stay lit up, but the screen is just completely black. When turned off the battery just keeps refreshing and show a little bit of green, but it doesn't charge past that.
I followed some instructions and I think it's in recovery mode right now, what i see on my screen is Android system recover <3e>. I have the options to choose "reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user date, delete cache data, and format internal-sd card" I tried rebooting but didn't work, neither did reinstall packages and the error tat came up was E: failed to open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip(No such file or directory). I think that is fine though because i WAS NOT trying to root my phone or anything, this problem just randomly occured. I searched and found things about people getting this problem after rooting, but i didn't try rooting it.
I don't know what to do next, I can't backup any of my content or data since my phone screen won't turn on.
I tried all the common things like taking out the battery, etc, didn't help.
I also read about reverting it back to stock, but my phone is technically already in stock, since all i did were occasional kies updates, nothing that relates to rooting it or flashing it
PLEASE HELP!!!

Does your computer recognize the vibrant when you plug it in?

nope, and when i turn on kies it tells me to connect my mobile phone

And you have data to get it off before we can consider wiping it?

Don't use kies. It will brick your phone. Happens over and over. Use Odin to go back to stock and start over whatever it was you were trying to do.

what do you mean if i have data? If you are asking if i have my data backed up then no I don't.
and I don't even remember the last time I used kies, probably because there are never any updates. And isn't it like the official way of updating your firmware?

In recovery do delete user data and wipe cache if that does not work just reinstall stock rom using odin but go to download mode first. That is pretty much everything that can be done at this point.
If after Odin you still have wired problems in most cases it means water damage and you mother board needs to be cleaned or replaced.

Gun thanks so much, I fixed it after deleting user data and wiping cache. Unfortunately the apps were deleted so it's basically a brand new phone.
THANKS A LOT once again

Was it that simple? Good for you.

Any idea where to find the JFD or JI6 stock Odin images?
All of the links turning up on XDA seem to be dead.
Just picked up this device used for the express purpose of hacking around in it, so would love to have a stock image on hand to restore when needed.

[q] stuck in bootloop sprint ls980 please help!!!!

OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

Also when i turn the phone conpletely off and hold down all 3 bottons it brings me to a hardware key settings it does shows my imei number there. If i sent it into lg would they know the phone was once rooted or does the back to stock method cover it up? Thanks for your help btw

If i sent it into lg would they know the phone was once rooted or does the back to stock method cover it up? Thanks for your help btw

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

Yes my phone turns on but doesnt stay on for long it will freeze and reboot i noticed my imei and baseband are unknown. Any idea what can be causeing that to happen? Could it cause the phone to reboot like it is? I am back on stock firmware again,. I did try debugging but still no luck, i was even luck enough to root it again before it rebooted but still didnt help.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.

Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.
