Today, I noticed that my data was not working right, so I decided to reboot the phone. I press the restart option, the phone turns off, the screen lights up, it goes through the restart cycle, and then suddenly, after the Tmobile logo, the screen turns black while the buttons light up. the phone is charged and I have tried repeatedly, and cannot get the phone to boot up I am currently at a summer camp, and I will not be able to exchange the phone for at least a week, and I need it to communicate with my parents.
Boot in recovery and factory reset your phone. Should work.

Thank you!!!! I was able to restore, and I am now downloading my backed-up stuff from HTC's servers. Do you think that the FOTA could have done this? Is the FOTA even being pushed by TMO yet?
Hard to say. Could be a bad app or some corrupted file that just happened to be there.... it's all good now, I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again.
Good luck.

Haven't found any good solid information on my problem so hopefully someone who has some advice can assist and others in my situation won't have trouble finding help.
My HTC Fuze was working fine with a decent charge and I went out and didn't use it again until the next morning. I woke up and it was completely dead. Wouldn't turn on or do anything even after battery pulled. I left the battery out and waited overnight; then charged it up.
It now turned on and got to the home screen (sweet...) except that it immediately rebooted and continued this loop of getting to the home screen and then rebooting.
I'm now in this cycle loop where it just keeps going... so I figured hard reset time, except that holding the bottom volume and enter and hitting the soft reset button, nothing happens at all. So I'm asking now what can I do. I've opened the phone to manually press in the soft reset while trying the hard reset and its still not working.
HTC reboot loops are common and there's tons of information on them, however, I haven't found a solution to this problem. Maybe there is no solution? :-/
I'm using one of the NATF series 5 roms on the device and its been fine for over a year.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: I was able to hard reset now the damn thing is reboot cycling the "preparing phone for first use" screen. Looks like the phone gets 30 seconds and then just kills itself. This is driving me insane
Hello guys.
About an hour ago, I tried to access my WiFi configs, and realized it would take me back to the start screen. So I rebooted my phone. The thing is, it is now stuck in the big red Motorola/Intel logo, and keeps looping.
If I try to turn it off by using the Power button, it doesn't work. If I try to reset using Power + Vol Down, it just restarts the loop. I can't get into recovery mode, because it won't turn off.
I really don't know what to do. My phone is still trying to boot for the past hour, and I really need it, asap.
It is running Android 4.1.2. No root. As stock as it gets.
Any advice, guys? Please

I have the exact same problem.
My phone (non rooted, stock Android) has been freezing quite a lot for the past 1 or 2 weeks. Sometimes rebooting on its own, sometimes I had to force it. This afternoon it froze again and I had to force reboot, where it started freezing at the Motorola logo. I cant go any further since rebooting just makes it loop that way.
I waited for the battery to deplete so my phone eventually turned off, charged it back at around 60% and tried to go into recovery mode with power+volume up+volume down. Same results. I don't think I could have failed the recovery mode procedure because I had practiced and knew I would only get 1 chance of succeeding.
Anyone has experience with this ?
I will see if Motorola or my retailer will repair/replace it for free under warranty terms, otherwise I will try opening it up for some cleaning and maybe further attempts with control over the battery.

Well, Motorola did repair my phone for free, but I live in Brazil. It took them 1 day to repair. They say that part of the circuit board was damaged, but I don't know what could be the cause. Maybe overheat? I don't know about your phone, but mine would get up to 50ºC while using Skype.
Hi i am new here and was hoping that i get a solution to the problem that i have been trying to figure out for a few days now. I searched a lot before posting but wasnt able to find something related to this. My phone is an HTC One M7 and i was trying to update to the latest OS when the phone stopped booting into it after the update as it got stuck at the boot screen. So i waited for an hour until i decided to shut it off and when i tried restarting it, the phone stayed stuck at the HTC logo not even the ONE logo screen.
So i read a few suggestions and went into the bootloader > recovery and cleared cache and then restarted the phone as per the instruction i got afterwards. This time it kept cycling around the boot screen and black screen and so on. So i again went into bootloader and decided to *power down* the device till i was able to learn what to do next but to my surprise, the phone doesnt boot anymore into whatever there is - tried Power + Vol down, Power hold etc.
The phone charges though and is currently at 100%. So i am right now in a dilemma as whether to continue trying to fix this by myself or just send it to the service centre where they will charge around 300$ for this to get repaired while telling me that something got fried on the inside.
Thanks in advance!
Came home from work yesterday and the Pure XL was dead, said it needed to be charged. Never happened before but I figured whatever and plugged it in and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and powered on the phone and the all white BLU splash screen came up and then the phone went off. Came on again and the all white BLU splash screen came up and went off. Ive tried holding down the power button for over a minute. Tried holding the power button and volume keys to boot into recovery from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, nothing stops it! It just keeps rebooting. This has been my apprehension towards purchasing phones with non removable batteries. The boot recycle happens about every 15 seconds and the phone vibrates everytime it boots up for the past 2 hours. Its getting very annoying and there is no way to make it stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plug it into your computer (you'll notice that there will be a longer black screen in-between the bootloops) and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds or more, then release it after the next vibration and the white BLU screen shows up. It might take a couple of tries.
If you manage to boot into at least recovery but can't boot into the system, then try clearing your cache/dalvik cache and try rebooting into system again.
If all of the above doesn't work for you, then your boot.img/system has gone bad, and you'll have to flash the stock images with SP Flash Tool (both of which can be found on other posts on this forum).
follow the instructions on the SP flash tool thread... sounds like what happened to me after bad flash... theres a lot of information in that thread that will set you up...
Thanks for the quick replies guys. The PC trick didnt work at all. I just called BLU and asked for a replacement(havent heard back from them ironically). I put the phone in the basement so I wouldnt have to deal with that incessant buzzing every 15 seconds. Eventually the battery died. Since I had it powered off finally, I plugged it in for about 10 minutes to give it enough of a charge to power on but not stay on to buzz for another 2 hours. This time I powered it on using the master reset button combo and was finally able to wipe the cache and restart the phone. Took a good 4 or 5 minutes to boot after that, but everything has been fine since. Really dont know what initially caused the issue, never happened before. Good thing too, cause BLU told me that they would send me a RMA within the hour and I still havent heard from them. Think this will be my last BLU phone. Thanks for the assist.
My phone Is stocked without root or Twrp. And I find my self having a bootloop once a month for an odd reason. This forces me to take bat out and put it back in or just let it loop til battery dies

My phone is basically out of the box and I'm getting boot loop problems when I first boot. This happens like once a month
Sent from my PURE XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
This happened to me for first time yesterday. Bought the phone earlier this year and everything worked fine. I restarted the phone because my sound recorder app froze up twice on open and the infinite boot started until the battery died. Tried the {power}{vol up} thing, didn't work to stop it, so I put it in my car and went back to the conference I was attending. Battery was dead when I got out. Contacted BLU by phone and they started a ticket for me, but I figured I'd see if other people were having this issue and learn what they did because I'd rather not be out of a phone for however long it takes for BLU to replace mine. Stumbled on this page. I never rooted my phone. And BLU only sent one wireless update since I've had the phone. I'm trying to get into the menu by connecting to the computer. Worked the first time, I cleared cache, and tried to backup my files, but I'd taken out the SD card in expectation of sending it to BLU. So, Powered off the phone, put the card back in, and now I haven't been able to get the menu back. Still working on it, if there are any suggestions anyone drops on me before Tuesday when I'll likely ship it (or at least hope to because I'll be yelling at them Monday), I'd appreciate it.

I tried to flash the phone, but the bootloop apparently wouldn't allow that. I had 0.0% progress after 3 hours. I then tried to go back into the menu you get from {Power}{Vol UP}: still no go. So, I started to take the phone apart again to get ready for shipping. The battery was still low so it didn't take long for it to die after I unplugged it from the computer. Out of curiosity, I tried to repeat finding the menu like I did earlier that day (conditions were that the phone had no charge when I connected it to the computer, and my SD card was removed.) No go. But, then I hit {Power}{Vol Up}{Vol Down} just to see what happened, and boom. My phone loaded up. No loop... Figured somehow the files had copied and the status bar was wrong. Turned the phone off, put my SD card back in and turned the phone on. Loop reappears ...I waited for the phone to die again, took out the SD, attempted to turn it on and the loop was there. Connected it to the computer and hit all 3 buttons, and the phone loads up. So, now I'm confused. Is there any way that the problem is some crappy connection to the SD?
Was wondering if anyone has run into this problem?
The phone was fine, rooted and everything, for a month give or take. Then all of a sudden, today, it started acting weird.
It was fine in the morning and everything, was able to use wifi, check emails, and stuff.
Then BAM, I tried to make a call, it didn't go through for the first 20 seconds or so. Then connected and a message kept popping up saying Phone is stopped or something during and after the call.
So, I restarted the phone. It restarted fine and everything, got past the 2 Samsung screens. Then hit the T-Mobile screen. and has been stuck on the T-Mobile screen for ~30 minutes now and just keeps vibrating.
It's getting quite hot, both front and back.
Any advice? Stupid Samsung making this a closed system so can't pull out the battery.
Can't even turn the phone off, only able to get to Download screen.
Weird problem.
Is there any way to pull the data and stuff off the phone at this point?
I'm thinking of going the factory reset route and do that to see what happens and see if it will fix the problem. It would probably not retain root am I correct and I would have to re-root again?
I could get into download mode and recovery fine.
You're just in a bootloop. Try holding down power and home.

That happened to me like clockwork until I found these fixes here. "Everything has stopped" and then wouldn't not from a restart.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
I refreshed probably 4 times thinking something was wrong with my phone until I flashed those fix zips in that thread. Solid ever since.
