First off, I'll say that I've already flashed my nandroid and my phone is working. I'm really just curious if anyone knows how this happened.
Basically, SW managed to soft brick my phone.
I'm on CM7 #11 w/ Netarchy 1.2.7 CFS, using the matted blue theme. I installed the Al Jazeera news application and was watching live video when the video began stuttering and the phone froze. After about 10 seconds, the phone automatically started rebooting, but was unable to boot. After showing the google logo, the screen went black and the capacitive buttons lit up. The phone was unresponsive and I had to take out the battery to reboot the phone.
I was able to reboot into recovery and I flashed a CM7 backup but was still unable to boot. I got the same issue as before.
Flashing my stock nandroid (2.3.3) recovered my phone.
I'm just curious if anyone knows how software can soft brick a phone.
Ideas?
Hello
After I turn the cell phone on, boot logo keeps on loading but nothing else happens
after installing Cyanogen Mod 7
any one help ?
What phone do you have? Did you make a backup? Did you do a full wipe before installing?
Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
Turn phone on and wait 2 hours. If it wont work do what you use to do when you booting recovery mode. (home screen i guess). But hold it longer.
Good luck
nathan-96, do you have any idea what caused this? Because what's concerning me is that it's not getting past the Samsung icon (before android starts actually booting).
When you say turn it on, do you mean just put in the battery? Because the loop starts right when I put the battery in, it doesn't wait for me to press anything.
No, I meant turning it on. Hold centre button and put battery in. Just hold it for a moment. Hopefully you will reach recovery.

Can you access download mode instead of recovery? If so you could try re flashing something with Odin...
Definitely try getting the battery out for a few minutes and boot the phone while maintaining the combination to enter recovery

You have CWM on your phone? Have you visited the forum for your device?

AT&T Skyrocket BOOT LOOP Cyanongenmod 10
Hi ,
I´am playing with my Skyrocket to run the Cyanogenmod 10 and always I got stuck at Boot Loop .
This is what I have and did :
- Running AT&T Stock ICS 4.0.4 UCFL6 rooted ( I have a back up of this)
- CWM 6.0.1
- Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly Dec 07 , but I also tried with Cyanogenmod 10 Stable
- Gapps
- Factory Reset / wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Mount/storage format system
- install using CWM Cyanogenmod
- install using CWM gapps
- Mount/ storage format cache
- reboot
I also tried to wipe twice as other threads say.
So I´am still with the boot loop
I returned my backup to the ICS ...
Thanks in advance !!!
Skyrocket Bootloop
Whats happening is the power button acts as if its being pressed. Thats why you have the bootloop and the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in.
Try repeating pressing the power button or hold the power button without the battery for a few seconds. :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys.
As i recently installed TwistedKat and charged my phone over night because the battery was empty i couldnt turn off the screen via power button anymore. Longpressing it still shows the menu but i cant turn off the screen at all. What was also quite amazing is that the bootscreen doesnt come up anymore, its just a black screen instead of the twistedkat logo.
Im on TwistedKat 2.6
Using the Icecode Kernel from the 28. march since i cannot download the latest version.
Any ideas what this could be?
(Wiping caches also doesnt help i tried that a few times)
Edit: the problem also happened while i was on another rom - vanir - i solved the problem by doing a fresh install but since its happening again i would love to know what causes this problem.
hey guys has anyone been having this issue with their shield tablet, where you restart the tablet and it just gets stuck on the nvidia logo screen, it doesn't change for like 10+ mins, at first i thought it was cause i root and changed the recovery, now i am on stock everything 2.1 (5.0.1), and it still does it from time to time, sometimes it will boot up normally, and other times it is just stuck on the nvidia logo? can anyone help?
Bump* Anyone able to help?
