I have been running on stock 2.2 for a week or so now (SBF'd and was running with no issues)...not rooted or modified in any way. I did the OTA update for 2.3 and now my phone boots to the droid boot animation, and hangs. The boot animation completely freezes up, and the phone is unresponsive. Tried SBFing the 2.3 over and according to RSD that was completed successfully...but got the same thing on startup.
I got my phone the week it came out and have SBF'd many times, had rooted, ran all sorts of roms (as long as your counting different versions)...and of all things...an OTA update bricked it. Awesome.
I'll be heading to my local Verizon store in a few hours. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
That sucks Let us know how it goes at the store
With all the bootloader lockdown crap motorola put on these phones its just a matter of time before their own updates cause problems... anything strong enough to keep out hackers is also strong enough to cause serious problems when legit updates mess up...
Boot into stock recovery (power and hold X, then press the search key at the ! In the triangle)
Wipe data and cache
Reboot

^+1 this. Quite often when restoring the phone via an SBF it results in a bootloop which is corrected by performing a cache and data wipe through the stock recovery on the phone. It seems this can happen because the SBF doesn't actually wipe or replace /data and /cache
Another WIN for karnovaran!

Wow. Thanks! Worked like a charm.
Anybody that might have my same issue after installing the OTA, follow above steps, and wipe data in the stock recovery. My phone booted right up afterwards.
Thanks guy!

Hi Everyone,
I have been running the unrooted leaked 2.2 since it came out, and have had zero problems until today.
My phone ran out of batteries, and after I plugged it in and turned it on, It got stuck in a boot loop.
I have tried the following to get out of the bootloop:
- take out the battery
- take out the battery and the sd card
- boot into recovery mode and restart from there
I know the official 2.3 ota is coming out soon, so I want to fix my phone and also be able to upgrade to that once it is out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
UPDATE:::
I finally just booted into recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and it fixed it.
Then I just easily re-downloaded all the apps from the market on my browser and I'm back to normal.
Thanks!
prob gonna have to sbf or try a factory reset first... hadn't heard or read that one yet

Go back to recovery and wipe data
SBF, it's not hard, may even have to do it twice - I had some random issues like that too, SBF, now all factory stock, waiting for official update.

IT WILL STILL BOOTLOOP IF YOU JUST SBF. You still need to go into recovery and wipe data
Link to the Motorola help page on how to manual wipe (sorry I can't hyperlink because I'm a forum newbie)

Yeah, you are correct, I always wipe first, didn't think about making it an explicit step.
Okay, I've searched and searched and no one seems to have the specific problem that I'm having with my phone, so I'm taking to the forums myself. I've been rooting since the G1, I know how to adb push things, I have used google and multiple forums to try to fix this problem. So here goes, anyone that can help I thank you in advance.
1-My phone, like some other MT4G users, reboots itself each time it's plugged in. Initially I thought this was because I was using a Kindle cord to plug it into the pc, so I bought an MT4G usb cable from tmobile, and still it boot loops (just the first white screen for maybe 4 seconds, then black then again and again). The only way to charge it is to let it start boot looping, take the battery out, turn it on, and if I'm lucky enough that it begins to boot up correctly I plug it in mid boot. If I wait til it's fulled loaded it just starts rebooting again.
2-It will not at all from any angle go into Recovery mode. If I try to go to recovery from Rom Manager, or from the screen you get when holding power and lower volume key or by flashing a rom through Rom Manager, it just boot loops just like mentioned above, until I pull the battery for a while (it is currently sitting next to me with the battery out) and then put it back in.
3-If by chance it's on, and plugged into the computer, it is not at all recognized. Ever. While it's booting up my computer finds something, but doesn't know what it is, and doesn't allow me to view any folders on the SD card. Yes I've installed the HTC drivers file. I've adb'ed things to this phone before, now it says device not found. I don't know when it stopped being recognized...
4-I've even tried to fastboot something over to it, but to no avail, still not found.
If I try to do a factory reset, it boot loops. If I sneeze it boot loops.... I don't know what to do, and if I trade it in under warranty, I have to reset it to stock rom, or they're going to charge me for a new phone. Any ideas!?
I have Cyanogen mod 7 on here.
have you tried a fastboot wipe? or have you tried to reboot to recovery from adb?
First, I don't trust using the actual ROM Manager app to do the flashing/installing.
Since you've been flashing since the G1 days why not use Clockwork Recovery? Just go into recovery and do the necessary wipes.
So I suggest to do a complete full wipe in Clockwork, meaning wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Install the newest CM nightly (Which is working wonderfully BTW) and see if your problems still persists.
Edit: I didn't realize you tried to enter recovery, oops. But yeah try what the buy above me said. Try re-installing the latest CWM recovery, if that still fails then try heading into there via ADB.

I second that, flashing ROMs from ROM Manager a terrible idea.
Well...if all else fails and if you are really thinking about returning it and still under warranty...few seconds in the microwave method should work just fine. They wont be able to see that its rooted if the phone wouldn't turn on, would they???
glimmer of hope...
So by the grace of god I did get it flashed back to unrooted, stock 2.2 by putting it as pd15img.zip on my sd card and going into bootloader. Once that was done I thought I would be out of the woods... I even plugged it in last night and no boot loop!! but this morning I unpllugged it (and I'm using a tmobile cable for the phone attached to my pc) and here it sits, next to me again with the battery out of it because everytime I try to turn it on (for over 40 minutes now) it boot loops to that stupid white screen (that is honestly driving me insane at this point). I know that it isn't rooted (because I dl'ed rom manager and it won't let me do anything without being rooted) so do we think that I'm safe to go to the store today to request a new one be sent? Thoughts? And thanks for the help thus far!
yeah I would send that back
Bad emmc chip? I'm sorry man, that's a terrible story.

New to the forum but regularly read it.
I think I may have hardbricked my nexus 7. I was originally trying to root the phone. However, I somehow got into a bootloop before I was able to install superSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051). Attempted to factory reset because the internal memory was always at 0. However, this always failed.
To fix that I consulted this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380913). Same issue happened and it was unable to fix the problem. And I would be stuck in bootloops with the X logo. I did another attempt with this because it seemed to help others with my problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381438). However, after going through the steps and factory clearing the data I was stuck at the GOOGLE logo and never able to boot into the bootloader.
After I tried to hold the power and VOLup button i still get to the android with the red triangle screen HOWEVER i am unable to get any menu to reboot the device or clear data. After shutting the device down I am now unable to even get to the red android error screen.I am forever stuck at the GOOGLE screen or a blank one. When stuck at the google screen it is recognized as Nexus7 but when i try to reset to bootloader (black screen) its QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Obviously, i screwed up, is there any way to fix this or am I out 240 bucks?
Unfortunately its even harder because this nexus 7 isnt available outside the US.

I'm sorry to hear about your nexus 7. I hope we can get it working. Have you tried holding VOLdown and power button? It should get you into fastboot mode. If you can get that we should be able to do something. You may have to hold them down for quite a while so if nothing happens at first keep holding it for 20 seconds or so.
I think the reason you got the android with the red triangle is because there wasn't a custom recovery installed yet.
Let me know what happens and we can go from there.

OMG, finally got to the bootloader. I was beginning to freak out. I can access bootloader, at least its not hardbricked. Thank you. I am in your care for getting this fixed (im way in over my head). Thank you.
It definitely cannot go into recovery mode like you mentioned. I reinstaled TWRP recovery. I then tried to install the nexus 7 "nakasi" factory image, however, I am still in a GOOGLE screen boot loop and I had to reinstall the TWRP recovery afterwards. I still have the 0mb internal memory error. I cannot wipe data successfully either (says Failed when I try) So I am not sure where to go from here, feel like giving up on root and just go for the original factory state. Once again, thank you.

If you can get to your bootloader, and follow directions, then the above will work. Good luck!
It worked! I can finally use it again.
I am still peeved i couldnt root my phone. I have bootloader unlocked still apparently. I obviously am not the most skilled at this but maybe there is a less error prone way to root it? I want access to a few nice apps/features with root access.
The problem I had came with TWRP and getting boot loops (with 0 internal storage). Any tips or alternate methods to rooting?

Not sure if you are clear on this or not but the Nakasi image is for the old Nexus 7. The new Nexus 7 is named Flo and the official Google image will have that as part of the file name (Google still hasn't released a factory image for our device though. However, there are a few unofficial versions floating around on the forum).
Hey, I'm running the preview build 2 in my 6p. Yesterday all of a sudden my phone rebooted and got stuck on the boot animation screen. I'm running on a fully stock build with bootloader locked and OEM unlock option in developer settings disabled so I can't flash any image.
I tried a factory reset from stock recovery but it still gets stuck on the boot animation screen. Please tell me what should I do. Will ADB sideload work for me if I've got the latest image already installed on my phone?
Is it applicable for warranty? Everything's stock and the N preview was installed via OTA
With your bootloader locked and no way to unlock it you're pretty much screwed. This is why it's important to have your bootloader unlocked.

Even a factory reset didn't help? Well, that's a shock. Since your device has not been modified in anyway, you would have blamed an app. But now that you already did a factory reset, and even then it wouldn't boot, my only guess goes to a hardware failure/issue. And yes, It's perfectly eligible to be covered under warranty.
Went to the Huawei service center earlier today and they did indeed categorize it as a hardware failure.
Nothing to do now but wait for 20(twenty!!?) working days for them do carry out the appropriate repairs.
Thank you for the responses

Indeed. It took them 18 days to replace the volume keys. Huawei's service is terrible in India. I miss LG
i´m have the same issue
Hi guys, i´m having the same issue with the developer preview 3 (google called the first beta). My bootloader is locked and "oem unlock" is disable. I already sideload the OTA image with adb but i´m still stuck on boot animation after the installation. Do you know what should do next?
Thanks very much for your help.

Exact same issue :'(
Ok so let me see if this helps. I had the same issue. Let it sit and reboot itself a few times and it will boot right up. Or you can fast boot flash a factory image and that should work. Mine sat for about 15 min after installing the N3 beta and then it booted.

What would probably fix the issue is if you guys sideload the ota downgrade back to mm from dev prev 3 once someone uploads it. Anyone have it handy yet for someone to try?
Or if impatient and get bootloop error:
booting into recovery
wiping cache
wiping data
wiping cache
reboot
Should boot into N fine then.
I had the same issue and did what major said. Here are the steps with a bit more detail.
Select recovery from the fastboot menu, it will reboot into recovery. Then hit the volume up button and power buttons at the same time to get the recovery menu (I had to do this several times). Then select clear cache, then factory reset, then do clear cache again and finally reboot. That fixed it for me but it wipes your phone. Hope that helps.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. I follow your recomendation and i´m still stuck on boot animation (not the same as boot loop). How much time it took to install android n preview 3? I waited 50 minutes on boot animation but nothing happened.

I have the same issue. No matter what method I try(OTA, factory image, sideload, ...), it just stuck at boot animation and wiping cache or factory reset doesn't help at all. But on preview 2 it boot completely fine.
This is very frustrating ...
Having the exact same problem guys.. I've tried literally everything with no luck kept the boot animation going for 4 hours with nothing :/ keep me updated on your progress if any
Same problem here. Updated, bootloop, tried to sideload 4 times, tried wiping cache - data - cache... nothing worked.

This didn't work for me. There was a hardware issue in my phone and I ultimately had to go to the Huawei service center and they had to replace the motherboard.
