??Strange Android Issues??

So I have a Mytouch 4G and its stuck in Fastboot... Okay no problem. Flashed RUU Exe still wont turn on. Flashed RUU zip still won turn on. Unlocked Bootloader and flashed recovery and ROM still no go. Everytime I turnit on it goes straight to Fastboot. Only way to turn on is in fastboot wait 30 seconds and navigate to Hboot. In Hboot go to CWM in CWM reboot system now and everything works. I just have to do those 3 steps to turn it on. Has anyone else had this problem? And is there a fix?

it sounds like it is a recovery issue or a sticking volume button on the side..(just a guess) try pushing it up and down (wiggling it) if still an issue.Try flashing a different recovery such as 4EXT instead of CWM and see if that make a difference you can find it here http://www.4ext.net/ it is just something to try in case your recovery image is corrupted be careful ! let me know if it fixes your problem

It was actually stock and never rooted when I had this issue. The recovery was stock and still had the issue. It was when I installed CWM and a ROM that I was able to get it on, but I have to do those 3 steps.

Clean your USB port, check if any of the keys (trackpad?) is stuck. If you boot to fastboot and not to HBOOT - it means the VolDown key isn't the culprit, but maybe there is a key combination that is causing boot directly to fastboot, or maybe there' something in USB (dirt caused some high impedance connection between some lines) that causes your phone to boot to fastboot.

I thought that the Vol Down button might have been stuck as well but its not. All the buttons are fine and the usb port is clean.

[Q] [Q} Is my D802 Bricked?

Hi all
my D802 can't reboot with following method, could you please help me investigate how to fix it?
1. Can't enter download mode: I power it off, then hold volume up and plug in USB, but only the first screen shows up, can't enter the second one:
http://i.imgur.com/Kc4egAZ.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/jdCWBEW.jpg
So I can't flash kdz image.
2.I am able to access TWRP with official factory default( power+volume down to power on, when LG logo shows up, release power and volume down, then hold power.). But no matter I flash CloudyFlex which in my sdcard, or sideload flash others ROM, the cell phone will no boot up, always stuck at LG logo.
Any possible way to fix? Thank you very much.

not sure, I did few stupid things before.
1. I flashed LG G Pro 2 ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673143 but it not good for me, so i went to recovery. but this rom replaced my recovery to a unknow one, not TWRP. when I was in this unknow recovery, my phone linked with PC via USB. PC found a lot of unformatted drivers, I did the most stupid thing: formatted one of them.
2. G Pro2 rom still can boot up, I flashed stock kdz, and rooted it with ioroot10, then flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3.
3. copy CloudyFlex_1.4.zip into sdcard through MTP mode of stock rom. reboot into recovery TWRP, flash cloudyflex, phone never boot up again.
4. No matter what rom i flash, always stuck at LG logo and the phone become hot.
sorry for my pool English.

Sorry man, I have no idea what you may have formatted then.. :/
I can't think of anything right now.. If you can't get to download mode and flash stock kdz again.. Then I don't know. I hope some one comes along that knows something. Sounds serious. I'll keep on thinking about things. But I have to leave the house now so..
Sorry.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop with CM11

So I'm rooted with TWRP loki and had CM 11 on and running for a while. I just downloaded the latest nightly through CM OS and it asked to be rebooted.
Upon rebooting to TWRP and installing the update it then just kept on trying to reboot with the CM logo. I cannot get the power and volume keys to boot it to recovery and my computer won't recognize it in this state to boot into recovery.
Any ideas??!! Please! I don't know of any way to restore it.

I had to take the back off and manually unplug the battery to turn it off. Then I tried the button combinations posted *power and V down* when LG logo comes on repeat to get to wipe screen. However, the phone did not go to the wipe screen, it just rebooted again.
If I could get it to boot to recovery I'd be golden.

Error due to low batter. I'll have to see if I can charge it without it wanting to turn on. However, it looks promising -- after three times trying I got the utility to recognize the device at least!
Either way, I appreciate the assistance.

great to see everythings up and running

phone stuck at lg logo(no factory reset/recovery/etc.)

woke up and it was sitting in recovery, so i rebooted a few times to only end up in the recovery screen. i then wiped the cache and system and rebooted,and when TWRP asked if i wanted to root, i swiped right(never seen that screen before). but this time im stuck at the LG logo with no options for recovery/reset/etc.
when i plug it into my PC, device manager sees it as "LGE Android phone". HELP PLEASE! thanks.

bump?

Were you rooted running stock or a custom rom at the time this happened? Try to long press power for 15 seconds to shut the phone down, then use the hard keys to enter recovery. Is TWRP still availabe or no?

Well you were clearly rooted if you were running a custom rom. Since you were in TWRP following the mishap, it should still be there. You sure you're going about that correctly? You need to press and hold power for 15 seconds to power off. Then use whatever button combo is necessary for your variant, there are some differences. Then accept the factory reset option to enter TWRP.
My guess, and it's only a guess...is that your phone, being close enough to stock, applied an OTA without your knowing or even choosing to accept it which landed you in a recovery reboot loop. That's a known side effect on a G2 with stock + custom recovery. But since you were on a custom rom and you said you wiped system, it's no mystery that you don't have a booting phone. You need to get back into TWRP, adb push a rom to /sdcard and flash it. Unless of course you have a working nand backup in which case you can restore that and save yourself some time and effort.

If using hard keys it can vary slighly by variant. adb reboot recovery should do it though.

huh, took apart the phone to try the linux fix(didnt end up working), put it back together, and now the download mode works. not sure if i was just being stupid in the past or what, but HURRAY! thanks so much

Recovery Boot-loop, All help is accepted

So my phone is stuck in an endless loop where it keeps going back to TWRP. I tried using the MSM tool, and its not recognizing the image on my phone it says. Not sure where to go from here.

How did you get into the loop? Were you flashing something? Might be worth going into TWRP and flashing the full system image.

Pretty sure you are using msmdownloadtool wrong. Completely shut down the phone. Make sure to DISCONNECT the phone form pc. Hold vol up and vol down for 5 sec. And it should unbrick hour phone

Hold power and volume up till the phone shuts off...
Now with the device completely powered off hold both volume buttons down at the same time for about five seconds then while continuing to hold both volume buttons plug USB in from pc to your phone the screen will be black and it's normal.... After this it should be showing up in the MSM tool....

It showed up in the MSM tool, but when i click start it goes for 4 seconds and then tells me that it doesnt recognize the image.

Yes, i was on the NoLimits rom and wanted to stop using it since i felt it was impacting a few things on my phone that i didnt like, but i really enjoyed Viper4Arise. So i was trying to flash V4A and after i was done flashing it wouldnt load past the unlocked bootloader screen, and i was stupid enough to not create a backup before i started because i didnt think V4A would be that harmful. After trying to wipe my phone and start fresh, i got stuck in the recovery loop.

If you are booting into recovery, first try formatting your data. In OnePlus's recovery, select English, and somewhere there is an option to "ERASE EVERYTHING." This will format the partition for OOS. On TWRP, go to Wipe--> Format Data. That may fix the bootloop.
If this does not fix it, the MSM download tool is a good option, however, I see it did not work for you. You can download OnePlus's official ROM from here, and for that, you want to flash it in TWRP like any other mod, then reboot. If you are still boot-looping after that, try formatting your data again for good measure.
For the MSM Download tool, you MUST be on Windows, and you must have extracted the archive fully, which can be done by right-clicking on the ZIP and selecting "Extract all." Then, turn the phone completely off, no USB attached. Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down, and connect the device to the computer. You should then be able to launch the MSM tool, selecting the normal one for the stock variant, and the factory_mcl for the McClaren variant. If your device does not show up, make sure you have installed Qualcomm drivers from here.
Good luck and I hope you get your phone working!

That happened to me as well with the 9.0.1.2 version.
What I did is I used an older version 9.0.1.1 works all the time. No matter what Rom you had previously installed, So try an older version.

This saved my butt 100 times...whenever I mess with slot A and B and end up booting to recovery mode again n again
