I upgraded the firmware on my phone to install Bad Boyz Oreo ROM. My phone did not like it. It sent the phone into a constant bootloop.
Since that time, I've tried everything. I'm not a noob to this. I was able to use a Sprint Nougat RUU, which installed successfully with no errors, but it stayed on the HTC green and white screen. No bootloop, just stayed on the screen. I installed TWRP, and flashed an older version of Viper ROM. It's just stuck ont he Venom logo. Not doing anything.
I'm downloading another RUU at the moment. Not sure it's going to do anything.
Can anybody get me to a point where the phone works again? I can't upgrade until July, and I am using my old M8 till I get this fixed.
Thanks!
Mother****er! I just installed Bad Boyz again, using the Magisk and it's booting. What's the issue using the SuperSU optionk
Can U plz provide a link of the same?

Hi,
I have dropped my phone few weeks back and cracked the screen. Still it was in working condition and every thing seemed working fine. But during the last few weeks my phone has received the OTA updates and now it is on Android 2.3.6. Now my phone is rebooting on it own. If I try to reboot it never reboots. When I try to reboot in 'Android Reboot with No BP' option, it reboots and every thing seems working fine but in few minutes it starts rebooting again on its own. Not sure when I dropped the phone it got some hardware damage or the OTA updates causing this reboot issue.
When I tried to boot up using 'Boot Android (no BP)' option it at least boots up and shows me Motoblur log in screen but again with in few seconds it goes back to boot up mode. Some times it stays for 5 to 10 minutes but never stays there more than 10 minutes and it goes back to boot loop.
I have unlocked my Atrix using Automatic boot loader tool. Did not help. Tried to flash with Motorola .SBF files both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, no luck either. Did the factory reset, wipe out the cache etc....no luck.
I have even tried to install custom ROM (NottachTrix 4G), that didn't help either.
I am thinking it might have caused by Android 2.3.6 updates. So I want to try to flash it with a custom ROM which is built on 2.3.4 or lower but afraid to do that thinking I might hard brick my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, unfortunately with the screen cracked, you can't return to Motorola. I had a goof with my Atrix when I first got it because I accidentally did a SBF flash to the wrong version and it bricked the phone and fried the motherboard and Motorola replaced it because I said the Gingerbread update messed it up. Ha.
Anyways, since returning to Moto is not an option for you, I would just go ahead and try to install a custom ROM, maybe try Neutrino ROM 2.2 or 2.5?
Do you have ROMRacer Recovery or CWM Recovery installed? Will it let you get into it? If so, put a custom ROM on your SD card, do a wipe data and cache and install it.
I'm no expert, but I have noticed no one else replied and just trying to help.
Hope all works out for you!
Boot loop issue - at&t Android 2.3.6
Thanks andreww88 for your reply. I read in one of the forums that once the phone is updated with 2.3.6 don't try to go back to older versions especially lower than 2.3.4. That would make the phone to be hard bricked. That is why I didn't try any other ROM other than NottachTrix 4G because it is built on 2.3.6. I could be wrong. That is why I need some guidance to try any other custom ROM.
i had the same issue. What i did was get the Atrix Fastool and whipe the phone. Then i extracted the sbf for 141 and then flashed 59 60 and 61 smg files from fastboot. After that everything worked properly. To then unlock my bootloader i used the flashing script and i was set. This is recoverable not easy but you can recover.
Thanks Moneyman1978 for your reply. Can you be more detail what you did to resolve this issue. Can you send me the links or point me to Fastool and 141 .SBF file also SMG files. Thanks again.

Well, I had a similar issue. I did the 4.5.141 (OS 2.3.6) OTA update and then it would just bootloop. I'm on stock, rooted, locked BL. I then ran the OTA update again via recovery and that didn't help. I then did a full factory reset, then update via recovery and still didn't fix anything (good thing I had TiBu backup). After calling AT&T they finally admitted that Moto recalled the 4.5.141 build update since there was WIDESPREAD boot-loop issues with many Atrix users. Great.
They're sending me a new phone. Luckily, mine is in good condition.
Any one please have any suggestions for me. Do you think it is a hardware issue or can it be fixed by fixing the software??? Any help is appreciated.
If any of you has any ideas about how to fix this issue I would appreciate if you can share it here.
Hi,
I have a rooted nexus 6p, all was well until it decided to reboot and boot-loop when I opened my music app. I get as far as the white Google logo then the phone restarts and I'm back to the normal warning then Google logo then reboot.
I have managed to get into the recovery screen (with the android laying down) but when i choose recovery mode the phone just starts boot-looping again.
I am wondering if I have somehow managed to hard brick it?
I have tried to flash the latest OS onto my phone but it said no signature.
I did managed to wipe the device also.
Thanks for any help.
Are you on Nougat or still on MM? Since you're rooted, it means you didn't receive an OTA. Did you flash it yourself, originally?

When my phone started playing up I was still on MM 6.0.1, I tried to flash N after the boot-looping started.
Thanks
[My phone is already repaired by Samsung under warranty, my internal storage was broken so they replaced the motherboard. There is no need to reply to this thread anymore. Thanks anyway]
Hello everyone, I need help!!!!
Today my Samsung GS6 Edge+ died. (At least, that's what I think)
I own my G928F for 1,5 years now. I rooted it two weeks after that. Several weeks ago I flashed a new ROM called N-Lite Nougat v4.1 which has worked smoothly and without any problems since I've flashed it.
However, today, the 26th of June, my phone turned off all of a sudden while scrolling through Facebook. I haven't flashed, installed nor done, anything that would affect my phone in such a way that it would crash this way. I tried force rebooting with the 3 buttons pressed (Home, Vol+, On/Off) several times. My phone just boots into the ROM and then freezes instantly. Again tried force rebooting for like 5 times, NO luck. Then I tried booting into recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0), cleared Dalvik and cache, factory reset, rebooted, still no luck. Tried several other custom ROM's, still NO luck. Also tried flashing stock Samsung Firmware using ODIN, no luck whatsoever.
I couldn't find any similar problems in the ROM thread, nor anywhere else on the internet. Besides that, I'm starting to think this problem is a defect to the hardware, not the software.
Does anyone know what would be the best thing to do in my situation? Or perhaps anyone who might know what the problem might be and have a possible solution?
Thanks in Advance.
Recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0) is accessible though, but that's all. While trying to install another ROM it just reboots randomly, during flashing progress.
When you say you tried flashing stock rom with ODIN, does it fail or does it succeed but freezes up when you are back in android OS?

It succeeds. But when it's done it just keeps going in a bootloop. It doesn't even boot into Android now. I've used the right settings in Odin. Even tried several different versions of Odin. No success

Out of curiosity, when you flashed the stock Rom was it 6.0.1 or 7.0?
Does it just get stuck on the S6 EDGE + screen for a while? If so you might be to impatient as first boot on almost all roms both custom or stock take a while to boot up. If it shows the Samsung splash screen over and over then yes it's bootlooping.
I can't think of any other reason for it bootlooping, especially if you have flashed a stock Rom, unless maybe you flashed 7.0 rom and still have a 6.0.1 bootloader. But I think that just causes loss of baseband, not a bootloop.
I would suggest another kernel, but that is normally included in the stock rom.
Do you download them from sammobile or another site? If it's another site, is it a reliable site?

It was Android 7.0. I downloaded it from Sammobile. I've waited 40 minutes for it to boot up after successful Odin flash. But it just kept doing the same thing. The bootloader that was installed was a 7.0 bootloader. First i get the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + screen then the Samsung boot animation and it repeats for hours untill battery runs out haha

The last thing I can think of was did you get the right rom for your phone? 928F or 928T etc.
Other than that it might be a trip to the repair centre I'm afraid.

Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It might help.

Hey guys,
I was running a old version of android (6.0.1) and wanted to upgrade my rooted phone today. Decided to try out Oreo, followed a guide that involved using fastbooting various files (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor). I got no errors along the way. My phone went past the android logo once and "optimized" my apps, restarted and was stuck loading the android logo. It now just keeps trying to load the android logo and reboots into TWRP recovery. After recovering, I am now stuck on the Google image while booting up.
Does anyone have any tips? Can I just try flashing a older version of android? Or is there a better way to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
Edit: Was able to fix my issue. For anyone who is having similar problems, follow step 9 from Heisenberg's guide. Since I was updating from such an old version, a lot of the programs were incompatible with the newer android version and causing issues.
Hi. I’ve got a customer with a j5 that I factory reset as she was having problems with it. But now it will only boot to TWRP which must have been installed before she bought it.
I’ve tried sourcing a stock android but with no luck so I tried a few Roms from here today. I can’t get it to work at all! Here’s what Happens.
From twrp I install CM rom and gapps. When I reboot the phone an orange line appears across the screen followed by the Samsung logo. Then the screen starts fading to green. The screen is in full working order when using twrp.
Does anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks

More than likely that version of twrp is outdated get a .IMG file of twrp version 3.2.1 and flash the image in twrp. Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3769408/page5
If that isn't the problem and the problem you have persists than you have either flashed the wrong version file as there is several types of galaxy j5 with different hardware,
Or the bootloader you have on the phone is the wrong version ie. it has marshmallow bootloader and your trying to flash a ROM that only supports lollipop or vice versa. Links for both bootloaders are here

This should fix your issues hope it helped
