Here's what happened - Few days ago, my Legend started to malfunction in phone coversations. I would talk, and I would hear myself from the speaker, but the person I called couln't hear my voice. I hoped rebooting will help. But it didn't. So I used ROM Manager to backup, and recover my previous back up file (I may not be using the most accurate terms. I was able to successfully root my Legend on my own but I'm most definitely not an expert.)
Even in my restored backup, I was having the same issue. So I tried to revert back to the back up I made minutes before. But this is when the problem started. It went to a blackscreen with a phone and a red exclamation mark triangle.
I physically removed the battery to reboot, and first I'l see the HTC boot screen, then I go to the android OS lockscreen. When I unlock/swipe, I once again see the HTC boot screen, and I eventually get the "com.android.phone is not responding" and "process com.hc.bg has sopped unexpectedly" error messages.
I tried to go into fastboot -> bootloader, and it freezes for a few seconds then spits out the "no image or wrong img" message, which promptly disappears. If I go to the "recovery", it goes back to the blackscreen with the phone and red exclamation mark triangle.
Have I "bricked" my phone? Or is there a way to restore my previous backups? and at the sametime, has anyone encountered the microphone issue that I mentioned at the beginning?
I tried running the recovery-windows.bat but that did nothing

i've just flashed cm7 on my defy, the phone starts (with the cm7 logo) and then it asks me to do those things in the beginning (touch the android logo, sign up for gmail) but before i can do anything the cm7 logo pops up, and then it asks me to touch the android logo all over again, and it repeats in a cycle, i tried flashing again but the problem remains, how can i fix this? and i've just found out another problem \= when i try to restore my backup it says "Error while flashing boot image" and im pretty sure my battery is charged, how can i fix any of these problems? \=
I am not exactly sure what happened, but I am stuck in the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu. I had unlocked the phone before and was trying to relock it and get it back to stock because the new update wouldn't install.
While the HTC update utility was installing the stock firmware, I think the cable came loose at some point because it stopped part way. Now it boots, shows the HTC logo, goes black and then eventually shows a phone lying down with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I can push vol+/power to get "Android system recovery" to show up, but that seems to be all. It says "Mount SDCARD failed".It will only boot to this menu. I cannot load the bootloader or anything else so I can't seem to use fastboot or adb and can't seem to copy any files onto the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it totally bricked?
Edit: doing a factory reset from recovery does nothing.
Edit2: Sorry!!! False alarm. After spending about an hour going back and forth with this and finally breaking down and posting about it on XDA, suddenly the bootloader DID appear. I have absolutely no idea what I did differently. I guess the 500th try was the charm. Reflashing stock now!
Hello XDA!
This morning, I attempted to flash Cyanogenmod 12 (CM12) onto my Google Nexus 6 using this youtube tutorial that I cannot link in this post, because I am a new member. The title of the video is "How to install CyanogenMod 12 Official Lollipop on the Nexus 6" It can be found on youtube.
Whenever I boot up the phone, it shows the "Google" screen. then the Cyanogenmod boot animation appears. A white popup shows up saying "Android is Starting Up. Finishing Boot" The entire screen then comes to life with cyanogen's default background. Finally, an error message consumes the screen saying "ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL. Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone, we need to preform a factory reset. When you restore your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account." The only button shown on the screen says "RESET PHONE". If clicked, the phone reboots, but before it can boot it gets stuck loading the TWRP Recovery application. What happens is, it'll show the TWRP logo, then the screen will turn off, then it'll show the TWRP logo again, then this loop will repeat endlessly. The only thing that I could do was reboot the phone into the boot loader by holding down the power button, and the volume down button. From here, I attempted to boot into recovery mode. The same thing happens, the TWRP screen loads, then disappears, and that just repeats itself endlessly. I also tried to preform a factory reset, but that didn't work.
As you can see, I really need some help.
The encryption failing may be caused because I came off of a custom ROM where I had the phone's encryption disabled.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, and if I can provide any information, please ask.
Hello,
I bought a new device and therefore wanted to factory-resent my Nexus 5 to give it to my wife.
I did it from within Android and then it restarted and stayed in the "Erasing..." screen for quite a while, then showed the dead robot with the "!" triangle sign, then rebooted and started "Erasing..." again, with apparently no way out.
I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP, but also booting the recovery went back into "Erasing..." mode.
I then tried to boot from an external TWRP iso image with fastboot from the PC. TWRP seemed to load, then started doing a bunch of things like formatting "something" (was too quick to read) and suddenly in a matter of second it was back to the robot but now without the "Erasing..." label anymore and now it's stuck there.
No idea what happened and how to fix and now I'm somewhat scared of trying something else.
Any idea?
Never mind... Flashed ALL stock images from fastboot (just userdata and cache didn't work) and it rebooted.
No idea what the problem was.
Hello all!
This morning my wife tried to turn on her phone (Stock GS7 Edge on Tmobile) after charging overnight- It kept cycling the Galaxy S7 Edge screen. It would then show the Samsung shutdown screen, and then re-load the Galaxy S7 Edge starting screen. It did this probably 10 times or before I went to boot into recovery mode. However, when I tried this it showed the "Recovery Mode..." screen, but then immediately went to the blue "Installing system update" screen. It says here for a second then goes back to the black "Recovery booting...". It does this back and forth at least 5 times, and then if I plug it into something eventually it changes from the system update screen to a blue screen that says "No Command".
Now, if I let it sit on this screen for a minute or so it will actually boot to Recovery mode successfully. I wiped the cache but that did nothing. I checked the logs and nothing immediately weird jumped out at me but I am not 100% sure what I would be looking for as I don't know what caused this issue. The only messages I see worth noting/present some kind of error are:
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT!
__bionic_open_tzdata_path: ANDROID_DATA not set!
__bionic_open_tzdata_path: ANDROID_ROOT not set!
And: error: open_script: could not open /res/recovery.customize.do No Such File or Directory
[failed start]
sales_code=[TMB]
Carrier ID=[EMPTY]
Don't Delete lib .so files
Not sure if these are normal or helpful to anyone reading. I have not yet tried anything with Odin or recovering the stock ROM or factory resetting. I was hoping there was some way to get this thing back on without losing the data but I think we are past that point. However, if anyone has anything I can try before factory resetting that may fix this it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Well. After trying repeatedly it finally decided to break out of the loop and boot normally. Totally bizarre....but I am backing up everything while I still can!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what exactly did you do to "try repeatedly"??
I am stuck in a recovery loop and nothing is working.
