Rebooting problem while in recovery - Thunderbolt General

So i started by downloading the new gingeritis 3d beta 5. I rebooted into recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. installed the rom just fine. I rebooted the phone and it just kept showing the splash screen and going black then splash again. I did a battery pull and went to bootloader then to recovery. When i try to install a different rom or do a restore the phone reboots right in the middle of the install/restore.
What do you think the problem is. Can i flash a different rom from the bootloader? is the recovery bad?
Or as a last resort do I have to flash the "Custom upgrade PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip" from the "root your thunderbolt" thread in the bootloader?
Thanks

Try going back into recovery and wipe the three you've stated again, also "format /system" in mounts and storage. It could be something's not getting wiped properly and creating your problem. Then try installing a ROM. If that doesn't fix your problem then replace your recovery with the one I've attached. Copy it to the root of your SD card and install it from the bootloader. If your recovery is the problem that should fix it. Once you've done that try installing a standard ROM like one of the rooted OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161251

Thanks for the help and the attachment. I will try it whe n i Get home since im at work. Whenever i try to wipe anything its like im on a time limit where it will restart ofter like 30 seconds no matter what i do.

I just remembered that another person had the same problem as you and it turned out that the Micro SD card was the problem. It makes sense since your installing the ROM from the Micro SD card and then the card craps out causing the reboot. If you don't have another Micro SD card you could format the one you have and that might fix it. Of course you would lose any data on the card.

I tried the new recovery, a new sd card, still same problem. Is there something i can flash in bootloader? like the PG05IMG_MR1_Upgrade? or something else?

You could download an RUU http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/R..._NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip and rename it to PG05IMG.zip. That will do a factory restore from the bootloader. You would then need to root the phone again. It's possible the memory on your phone is damaged creating the reboots, Lets hope that's not the case.

Thanks! at least that worked.

Awesome, glad you're up and running again. Remember to delete or rename the PG05IMG.zip on your SD card or next time you go into your bootloader it will try to install the restore RUU again. I've done that before.

I really don't understand why people think when they reset their phone/wipe data and then try to reboot their phone everything will be okay. You have some options. First, since I'm assuming you deleted everything off your SD card, you don't have a back-up available so you will need a computer or some other way to get a ROM zip onto your SD card. First thing, hold the vol. up and power button to boot into HBOOT. From here you will able to get into recovery. From recovery you can either mount your SD card and place another ROM onto your sd card and flash as normal or you can restore your back-up provided you didn't delete it. Another way, which I have no experience in, is you can boot into HBOOT via abd. No idea how to do it but that will also require a computer. If you can't get into Recovery but you can get into HBOOT, I know there is PD98IMG that you can flash via HBOOT that will give you a working ROM.

Unless you know of another way to get a zip file onto your sd card without a working ROM already or a computer, please let us all know haha, until then you'll need a computer..sorry bud!
in the future, if you ever reset or data wipe (not cache or dalvik cache wipe) always always always flash a new ROM or restore a back-up, as you can tell nothing awesome happens!
thank you not a noob but don't know everything. Thank you again. But if I had a good rom on there and i did what I said why would it not just delete the data on the sd card and then boot up again? Just wondering why. Thank you.

I'm assuming you did the factory reset and not the wipe data from recovery option, so I'm not sure exactly what happens scientifically with the phone itself but when you did it, the reset function probably reset some system files or something on the phone in addition to wiping your SD card. While wiping your SD card won't cause this to happen (I wipe my card from time to time leaving only the clockwork files for my back-ups and photos), whatever the factory reset does to the phone, it changed something that caused the ROM to become unstable and consequently not boot.
Ok thank you. I learn from my mistakes lol thank you again.

To answer your question, sure you can do it without a PC, use a MAC
Bustin' your chops. But in reality, if your SD card is empty you'll need to get a ROM downloaded to the SD, and if your phone won't boot then you won't be able to do it from your phone, so you'll need a computer. Once you have a ROM downloaded to the SD, boot to recovery and flash. This is most easily accomplished by booting to recovery, going to mounts and storage, Mount USB Storage. Now your computer will recognize the SD as a mass storage device. Copy the ROM to the SD, unmount mass storage, flash .zip from SD, choose .zip, flash away

MikRom Bootlooping on evo shift - HELP!!

This just started yesterday and i cant stop it. My phone reboots and says that memory is nearly full, then goes into a bootloop. I cant stop it long enough to back up texts, phone contacts and call log which is REALLY important; is there a way to back that up through recovery?
i'm really desperate here!
Edit: I can get the phone working through a format, but i need to be able to get contacts and sms backed up
Alternitavely, is there a way to run a clockword mod backup on an android emulator on my comp, so i can back up my important stuff?
what you should try doing is putting your sd card directly into your computer and delete stuff you don't need to get back so memory and then once you do that out it back into your phone
i cleared up the memory, internal and external. the stupid ROM is still broken
if its just the rom go to a different one and redownload mikrom later to make sure nothing happened in the initial download
If you haven't already, try removing some apps through adb, then reflash the ROM only wiping dalvik and cache. You shouldn't lose any of your text, call logs or contacts if you don't wipe data.

I love it sooooo the rom isnt stupid, the team of developers supporting it are amazing and you should setup adb and get a logcat, also you should nandroid before you flash so in case it goes wrong you can flash back, like insurance but you actually get something from this without paying..
if you did nandroid boot into bootloader and select recovery (hold volume down and power on use volume button to highlight recovery and power button to select)
I'm not sure if mikrom wipes or not but there's always that advanced restore option in cwm recovery flash rom, restore data and sd-ext if you have a ext partition with important data on it.

Did you ever get this fixed?
The usual way of fixing this is formatting /system, wiping dalvik, wiping cache, and reflashing the rom.

no. what i did was a backup, complete factory reset, wipe, dalvik wipe, etc - several times each, including a full on sd-card format, which took me hours to reload everything back on - and then reflashed MikShift. It worked fine for about a day, but then it started to go into bootloops again, so i again did a backup, full reset and all wipes, and restored data only to the new flash of mikshift. Once again its bootlooping.
LOG: ive been off the forums for several months, how do i get this log?
IMAGE: When i go into bootloader and enter recovery, it shows me a message in green text
"PG06diag.zip
No image!
PG06diag.nbh
No image or wrong image!
PG06img.zip
No image!
PG06img.nbh
No image or wrong image!"
At this point, im ready to RUU back to factory unrooted, so i can take it back to sprint and get it replaced.
I should not need to reflash the ROM every single day.

OK
0) Run a backup with titanium backup.
1) First of all go to clockwork -> mounts storage -> FORMAT /SYSTEM.
2) Wipe /cache, wipe dalvik, wipe/data, factory reset, repartition sd card.
3) Redownload the rom or try a proven ROM like UKE or CM7-255. If AOSP MAKE SURE TO FLASH GAPPS.
NO NEED TO RUU.
4) DO NOT RESTORE YOUR BACK UP. See how stable the phone runs.
5) If the phone is still unstable try a different battery.
6) Do not flash a custom kernel.
i formatted my backup SD card, and copied the essential data to it, and i have it running in the phone now. it seems to be running fine so far, i suspect the other SD may have gotten corrupt or physically damaged
Vic: every single time this has happened, i first went to clear the data and dalvik caches and ran a factory reset, all through the CWM recovery interface. Then when i reinstall mikshift, i restore the data using advanced restore, wait 24-48 hours, bootloops start all over again.
after two days of running on the new sd card, i start getting bootloops again. it must be a problem with the phone or the OS, but at this point i dont care anymore.
Is there a guide to RUU back to stock unroot? this phone is going back to sprint by weeks end, period.
thanks for the help folks.

Here's the 2.2 RUU zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971550 Just put it on the root of sd, boot in hboot and let it do its thing.

Yeah that guide is great for flashing sense roms since "most" sense roms don't format/wipe the system partition correctly. Aosp roms you just do a data facotry wipe and everything installs just fine

You Should flash the stock firmware through Odin . Your data will not be erased .
Don't forget to press the thanks button :good::good::good:
Really! Flash to stock just for a bootloop. Unnecessary I think. I would just go to recovery and wipe system, cache, and dalvik and reflash the ROM. If that doesn't fix, then do the same but wipe data as well. You'll have to reinstall apps of course with that last one. Also, If you have an external sd card and a card reader, you could download a different ROM to the card and flash that one in recovery.
Lol

Lollipop doesn't boot. Kitkat can't access internal storage

Hi folks.
I'm facing a really weird problem. My friend's N5 doesn't want to boot with Lollipop, it shows the boot animation, but nothing happens, more than an hour and nothing.
I tried to flash back to kit kat. It indeed booted, but just to say that the camera and gallery has stopped, and gallery couldn't find any storage. When I go to the storage section in the settings, it doesn't show the pictures, music and other sources, just available space, cache and apps.
I tried to flash a custom rom to, but they all give me bootloops.
I never had this problems with my n4, so i don't know what to do anymore.
Any solutions?
Flash lollipop with fastboot. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Everything will be fine.

Yes, i'm absolutely sure. I'm used to use fastboot to flash my Nexus 4. I downloaded the proper factory image from Google and flashed it using both flash-all.bat and manual input in the cmd.
I tried to erase the partitions, format using TWRP, and install a custom ROM.
With twrp I can see the the internal storage partition, and even mount it to access by computer. But when the device boots, it just can't see the partition.
I put a song in the internal storage with twrp just to test, and when the device booted it didnt recognize the song, but when I got back to recovery, it was still there.
It seens that the problem is in the internal storage, but I don't know how to fix, and what could have caused it.

Now I flashed kitkat image again. It booted but with the storage problem. Then I update via notification, and it stuck in lollipop boot animation.
I will let it booting through the night. Or it boots after a couple of hours or the battery dies.

Yeah this seems kinda crazy. Usually when stuff gets messed up like this a factory image clears it up. In your case, I honestly don't know what else to recommend. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Replace internal storage, nothing else you can do
Nothing worked in the end. My friend will send the phone to tech support.
Thank you guys for the help.

HTC One M9 Sprint NO OS installed! Please help!

Ok so yesterday morning I woke up to my phone being dead of charge. I plugged in the charger and proceeded to powering it on. This is where the problem begins. The HTC logo with red text would appear and then the screen would go black. So basically it was in a bootloop. I waited for like 5 minutes and it was still in the loop. So, I went into recovery and wiped the cache and dalvik cache. I rebooted the phone, still in a bootloop. I did a factory reset from TWRP recovery, rebooted, and still bootlooping. Then, I took out the SD Card, did another factory reset, still BOOTLOOPING! Lastly, this is what caused me to be where I am now. I wiped system, data, dalvik cache, and cache. So now, everytime I want to reboot or turn off the phone, TWRP tells me there is NO OS Installed. NOW I AM DESPERATE FOR ANY HELP ON THIS SITUATION! PLEASE REPLY WITH ANY SOLUTION YOU HAVE!
