Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

[Q] Problem: Phone stuck at ROM Booting animation.

Hello everybody.
I am a Defy Red Lense user with a recently flashed PA 2.14 build (coming from 2.00 version of same ROM). At first 3-4 boots everything was ok, till I made some changes on phone config (namely enabling 16 bit transparency as recommended by it's maker, and then some small changes in Paranoid Android Settings) and asked me to reboot. Ok so I went to reboot and as usual, it booted me into bootmenu, and I chose "boot" and "2ndinit" as usual. After a odd bootloop (where the phone wouldn't go through the blue, then green LED sequence and would then reboot, show Moto logo boot animation, rinse and repeat, etc) that I ended by pressing vol - and entering, again, into bootmenu, I chose again boot and 2ndinit and then something really weird happened:
After almost half an hour i'm still stuck at the very ROM booting animation (the Paranoid Android one, no the Moto logo), just like the guys that tried that new kernel that were reporting 15+ min first boot times. As a clarification, my first boot with just flashed 2.14 took, at most, 5 minutes. And there is another odd vehaviour, concerning the PA boot animation: it gets randomly stuck for a few secs and continues as usual, with no looping from 0 just like the normal loopboot.
So here comes the questions:
- What is really happening? is it really booting or the phone is just stuck in ROM bootanimation? How long should I wait to consider shutting it down?
- Is there some way to get out of it/shutting it down without damaging the device? Can I just pull the battery off without bricking the device?
Looking fowardd for some theories behind this issue :good:
Well, seems like it was OK to unmount the battery while on ROM booting animation, since I haven't had mayor problems after doing so and rebooting. Now the phone works just fine.
Tho im still curious the reason behind this pseudo-bootloop. Thanks for reading anyways :good:

WEIRD/PECULIAR RESTART SCENARIO in my S5 GM 900F

Hi Guys,
I am facing a peculiar kind of problem in my phone (G900F) since yesterday.
What happens is that, if I tried
i) To restart my phone from the phone (reboot menu), the phone stuc in boot screen and then vibrate twice then after 5-10 sec the phone start rebooting all along once again with 2 vibration and this process keeps repeating until I pull out the battery.
ii) To access recovery (both hard- key combination or from reboot to recovery option in phone), the phone reboots and it stays in the initial screen for about 45 seconds and then the screen went black and freezes there until I pull out the battery.
iii) To access download mode ( both hard- key combination and reboot to download mode option in phone), there seem no problem.
The weirdest part is that, if I remove the battery for 5-10 min and re-insert the battery and do any of the above options; the phone reboots and i get the home screen loaded successfully with no problem . I can also get into my recovery after this 5 mins switch off just like the above. I also found the phone lags a bit in this home screen.
I almost did all the combination to get off this problem (stated below) but I keep getting this problem again and again.
I was in Sixperience v 3.1 with Pheonix Kernel v 10 and Philz CWM recovery and tried the below to try to fix the issue
1. Re-flashed Kernel from Recovery (Also, tried to re-flash kernel after uninstalling Xposed but no use)
2. Re-flashed Modem and Bootloader from ODIN once again (G900FXXU1CPF7_BL_G900FXXU1CPB8_MODEM_LTE.tar)
3. Reflashed ROM once again as a fresh install through Philz recovery.
4. Restore the cwm backup from recovery (which was backed up a week before.)
5. Flashed Samsung Stock MM ROM (G900FXXU1CPFH_G900FPHN1CPFD_PHN.tar.md5) as a fresh install.
After this stock ROM installation is done, the phone struck at SAMSUNG flashing logo and the blue LED keeps glowing for more than 30 mins)
Nothing works. ? Any idea on what is to be done to fix this issue? I am not sure, what i did but this problem keeps coming even after trying of all of the options since yesterday.
Please help to with your expertise.

Note N910G very long reboot

I just bought a note 4 N910G .... I installed TWRP and flashed a custom rooted rom marshmallow... I noticed reboots are very very long (whatever types of reboot; normal, recovery or download mode)... I don't know if this happened because i flashed TWRP.
So, i flashed back stock unrooted 6.0 rom but the pb still persists... reboots take like 5 - 10 mins .... it has black screen thinking that it is turned off (pressing power button or any button does not do anything) but if i wait like 5- 10 mins, it actually reboots..
any clue?

After Logo black screen, no root, stock rom 4.4.2

Hallo,
i hope someone can help me here.
After a low battery my phone doesnt turn on any more. After some research i thought it might by the "death battery problem". So i but the phone on Laptop Charge port for 6 hours and i got it booted in to system.
But only for some seconds and it turned of again. So i decided to buy a new battery. Installed it and tried to boot. Sometimes it bootet in to System, sometime just got Blackscreen. I tried hard reset in it showed some errors. That was some days ago. Now it boots and everytime blackscreen. I tried also longer presses like 10 secs and 60secs. I tried fast press for hard reset with boot logo. I have no detection on Windows. I never rooted the phone and it has still stock rom. Must be the latest kitkat 4.4.2 i guess. I checked every cable. No charge led or logo.
Hey dude check out my video https://youtu.be/rpmbk9RFE_U there is step by step instruction how to reflash your rom... Just watch im here for any questions.

Le Pro 3 - Stuck in a bootloop recovery mode and fastboot not working.

Hi guys,
After googling it I tried booting it in recovery and fastboot mode but none of them work, when I try to boot in those 2 modes I get a screen with "recovery mode" written for 5 secs then it goes back to the normal boot screen and then turns off and starts to bootloop again the only way I could stop it from boot looping was by pressing the power button + the + and - buttons, so yeah if you guys have any idea how I could fix this or how I could recuperate my data please help, also it started bootlooping during the night while it was charging it was very hot when I took it, last thing when I try to go and charge it there is not indicator that it's charging.
Thanks in advance for your help !
much love
Mathias.
Kind of the same issue here.
Yesterday, I was using my phone while it was charging (low battery), and suddenly : freeze then power off and stuck into a bootloop.
It did it all the night until no battery, now when I plug it the charging Led is not lighting, and stuck in a bootloop.
Tried to flash TWRP vi fastboot mode : success but impossible to boot into recovery mode, as you described.
Affraid of the battery has died...
Flashed wrong orange state zip
Same to mine, my device was x651 and i flashed an orange state zip file intended for le 2 x620 without wipe and after flashing it from recovery , I rebooted the device, now its powering on and off on a dead screen and only long vibrates, how can we fix this? Please help
Not sure if this will help, but I ended up with a perpetual boot loop on the phone and wrote it off as broken and got a new one....a year later, I plugged it in to see if it would even power on so I could trade it in and VOILA, it boots up! What the hell? So my suggestion is maybe to let the battery run ALL the way down and then a long charge first.
