Hi everyone im pretty new at this board, since im new to PDAs.
I have been installing/editing registry/configing like crasy on my phone and yesterday i was watching tv and was uninstalling everything i had installed.
The last application wanted me to reboot the phone to remove the last files so i did.
But then it couldnt get past the HTC boot screen.
I did everything i could to get past the bootscreen but nothing helped softreset, hardreset, booting up to bios and from there a softreset(i meen the 4 colored screen thingy), removing the battery.
Then i thought that i should treat it as a notebook and try to reset the motherboard.
I took out the battery and held the powerbutton for 60 seconds and then put the battery back and booted it up again.
Well i did a hardreset because i thought the OS might be fubar after my installs and uninstalls.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
PS.
Please mind my n00b lingo, i am swedish
Hi all.
Yesterday I installed a cab file that required my phone to reboot. Once I started to do so, my phone froze on the 'at&t world phone' screen during power up. I've removed the battery several times and tried to restart it but it freezes the same way everytime. I've also used the reset button to no avail.
Is there any other way to get it working or is it done for good?
Just hard reset it; hopefully, you remembered to back everything up before you installed the cab. If you didn't, then consider it a lesson learned. The device isn't bricked, but the cab must've screwed up the startup process somehow so that now the device won't start up.
The problem is the following: suddenly the device froze, and I waited quite alot before pulling out the battery. After that it would not start: it showed the HTC logo, over a white background, then, a black background with a sound and that was it.
I triede to reset it contless times withh no succes.
So I went into bootloader and made a factory reset, it worked but again the phone froze completely. What do I do now?
Edit - new info: now sometimes it starts after it freezes, and sometimes I have to pull out the battery, something is definetely wrong here...
Have try to flash ruu

No, I haven't tried to flash any RUU, I'm on the original ROM.
No more frezes since last freeze last night an hour after i started this topic; I reinstalled some apps but not as much as before; hope I'm lucky and things stay like this....
Anyone else had problems similar to this?

Exactly the same thing happened to mine this morning - it froze during normal operation (after six weeks of perfect use) I had no response to hardware buttons or screen touches so I was forced to remove the battery in order to reboot it.
It then would boot but each time would stick at the white htc logo screen and then the screen would timeout.
I was dreading that I'd have to try a hard reset just after I'd finally set the phone up as I like it.
so I removed the sd card from the device and rebooted by removing the battery once again
the device then booted normally, so I did a controlled power off, replaced the sd card and it booted fine.
Thankfully all fine so far (two hours later) fingers crossed.
The application that I was using when the device hung was a streaming digital radio apps that was located on the sd card.

The absolutely same symptoms. DS hangs installing new app. Has carried it in service-center. Now I wait for diagnostics results
Did you try to remove the sd card?

For sure.
After the first hangup I have taken out the battery. Then DS hung again showing the HTC logo, over a white background. Then SIM has been removed. SIM were the first suspect. At the very first day of owning DS I have been forced to get new SIM card from mobile provider. Previous card was quite new, only one year old and works normally in Xperia X1i and other phones, but doesn't recognized in DS).
Finally, when I delivered phone in service-center, it was without the SIM and without SDHC cards, but all problems were the same.
Dare I ask was what was the application that you installed?

ReadItLater, but I think that it is simple coincidence. Phone wasn't started even when I managed to make factory reset (Volume Down+Power). After that phone wasn't launched any more.
Needed Hard Reset!
Removed. see duplicate post in more appropriately named thread [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036835&page=3"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036835&page=3[/URL]
Removing both cards solved it for me today
The frequency of the reboots on mine increased and today it crashed. Hard reset brings it to the white screen + htc logo but no further.
Tried with and without SIM Card, with and without SD card. The only way it will get past the white screen is with both cards removed but then of course, you get to the screen where it tells you to take insert a SIM Card. Doing so, turns the phone off again, but then (for me at least), it was OK to carry on with setting up the phone....which I am now doing...hope this isn't going to be a regular feature.
So far I've only got the stock ROM and nothing clever on it.

Blimey, thats doesn't sound good
This is the point where I had to perform my first hard reset to re-enable the device.
How many times has this happened to you now and in what timeframe? have you had to do a hard reset before now?
I'd consider getting a new replacement SIM card and even using a different SD card, just so that you can rule them both out of causing the problem and if it happens again then return the device and be confident that its at fault!
If you return the device currently the shop's bound to say that the problem is with SIM and/or SD!
I've had it about 2 months and the involuntary reboots must have happened about 8-10 times starting in a about week 2. A sort of partial reset happened about a week ago (wallpapers and app short cuts disappeared). Then the phone crashed today while dialling into voice mail (Vodafine UK), and rebooted into a black home screen that would report a com.<whatever> error if I tried to get into the settings, or run anything. It would let me power off, but the only way to invoke the hard reset was vol key down when powering up
Today has received the answer from the service center.
They didn't name the reason, but have told that it is a guarantee case. Have suggested to replace the motherboard.

did you flash a ROM? which one? did you wipe the phones partitions before the ROM flash via recovery?
Please help my phone is confused like it is blinking lg logo but not getting on. In charge it gets on but in few seconds it gets off.
I think you are in soft brick state for some reason.. Did you try to do anything prior to this situation?
How did that happened? Similar issue happened to me, heres my post from other thread:
My H955 suddenly rebooted and it keeps on bootloop. It turns on fully and after 10-30 seconds (the hotter it gets, the less time it stays booted up) reboots again. After I left it to cooldown, there was error that root is gone or smth like that, and I had to agree to EULA and terms&conditions but the phone rebooted again. Maybe some kind of update was pushed in or whatever. This is the first time for me to happen. I have not installed new apps or mods on my phone like in two weeks.
Btw, seems like this is soft reboot, because there is no sounds and it didn't asked for SIMs PIN. I guess it has something to do with xposed..
I have used this method http://www.hard-reset.mobi/lg-g-flex-2-hard-reset/#to do factory reset. It seems to work, however phone still reboots. @mnshkpr8 try this to do factory reset, maybe this will help you.
Later I will try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/to-unbrick-g-flex-2-ls996-t3286105
Hi. I have similar problem here.
My phone wont pass LG logo if without charging on, the phone keep booting.. And if i charging on the phone just works fine, but if i plug out the charger the phone just turn off and restart again. Mine still using stock rom. Any suggest ?
This happened to me today as i edited one system file so I could get any app on split screen, I used flashtool and flashed the same kdz in normal mode, It flashed and everything is normal again.
any solution to this?
hi all, ive had my s7 for 3 years now, amazing phone, but a few weeks ago this freezing reboot problem appeared and idk whats going on, my phone isnt rooted, and ive never messed with custom OS or any of that, its on android 7 stock, the battery is still good, but im wondering if this freezing problem is software or hardware related, when it freezes and reboots it gets stuck on the first logo, if i dont force it to shut off it will stay that way or keep rebooting till it runs out of battery, so after i force it to shut off sometimes it reboots immediatly and sometimes it stays black for a while and boots randomly, i try to go into recovery menu and most times it freezes on no command screen and if i leave it there the phone gets incredibly hot, so i force shut it again and this time with the charger connected so it shows charging icon as if its shut down... i leave it for a while then turn it on and its working untill it freezes again... i am considering installing lineage os incase the firmware is corrupt but im not very familiar with all of this and after reading other posts where the user did way more complicated stuff and the problem maintained... im not sure if its really gonna work, so im looking for advice on here
