I was encountering the traditional reboot cycle issue last night after reflashing an older version of ADHD Revolution (the one where it's constantly rebooting with a white background and green HTC letters)
However, upon taking out the batteries, rebooting into HBoot Loader, and wiping the user data/factory restore, my phone has been constantly cycling in another boot screen (the one with silver "Android" across the screen with a black background)
Is there anything I can do about it? Taking the batteries out doesn't fix the problem and I don't have any ROMS on my SD card.
Can you get into recovery from hboot?

What you did when you wiped user data was remove all the roms setup and custom items like the boot animation and anything installed to data/app. I would boot into recovery and reflash. Use a card reader to put a rom zip on your folder (keep a backup on your sd) then flash.

I recently installed this ROM and I thought it was working fine. I did a restart of the device and now I seem stuck at a android screen that it doesn't see to be going pass. The android word just display as a light goes across the screen and then it seems to cycle again.
I can't seem to boot into recovery either to put restore the back up I made, because when I get to the white fast boot screen the selection won't scroll down to recovery when I hit the down volume button. It just stays there and then tries to install a patch for a radio I believe.
Any thoughts on why this is stuck at the android word screen or how I can get back to my back up and restore that. Thanks

Try removing your sd card and then vol down and power. Then once you're past fastboot white page pop it back in in time for recovery, and do your thing. Try clearing caches first. If not then restore a backup.

Yup I think I seen that in another forum to a similar type problem, I removed the SD card and was able to get back into clockwork recovery. I wipes all data/settings, cache partition and then loaded the rom again.
First thing I did was do a reboot so. So far it didn't get stuck and booted back up. Will do another reboot later tonight to see if it holds. Thanks for the tip
I'd reccomenf going to the dhd forum and getting the latest version (new one coming out soon)

Hi all,
I hope this is the correct forum.
I noticed that my Desire had downloaded an update (v1.11.11) and I quickly proceeded to updating to this version. When the phone rebooted into the CWR, I installed from sd card just like I had done for the past 3 versions of MIUI (didn't do any wipe before update), then hit reboot phone.
The HTC splash screen came up (green writing against white background), and the phone is stuck there. I have tried removing the battery a few times but to no avail. I tried holding down the vol. down button while powering up to access the bootloader, but that doesn't work either (i.e. I can't get to the boot loader). The result is the same, the phone locks up on the HTC splash screen.
I really don't understand what could have caused this since the phone was working just fine before I did the update. Note the phone is an HTC Desire (GSM) which was unlocked with unrevoked some months ago. I can't remember the exact version of CWR I have, but it is definitely 5.x.x series.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hilkiah
Hey there XDA! I thought I'd root my P920 a few days back, which went smooth, no issues and I was enjoying my newly rooted Optimus
I wanted to get a new kernel for it, so first thing I did was install CWM, Then clicking on 'Flash ClockworkMod recovery' in the app, which then flashed a CWM recovery if I'm not wrong. The final thing left to do was rebooting into the recovery, which I did by clicking 'Reboot into recovery'
Now waiting for the phone to reboot into recovery, the LG logo came up on screen, and stayed there for some time, which is normal behaviour as it takes a bit of a while to boot up for me, but then something odd happened, the logo disappeared and the screen blacked out, leaving the phone off. Immediately noticing this, I tried to boot the phone up as I normally would, but again the same thing occurred, logo appears, then phone blacks out and returns to an off state.I repeated this a few times, but to no avail.
These are some things I tried:
Normal booting multiple times
Normal booting after battery pull
Normal booting while charging
Normal booting after removing SD card (this resulted in a blue screen appearing after the LG logo on bootup, though I was impatient and didn't wait to see what would happen so I pulled the battery out )
Normal booting after removing SD card and then battery pull
Normal booting after removing SD and SIM card
Normal booting after removing SD and SIM and then battery pull
Booting into recovery multiple times
Booting into recovery while charging
Booting into recovery while charging
Booting into recovery after removing SD card and battery pull
Booting into recovery after removing SD card
Booting into recovery after removing SD and SIM card
Booting into recovery after removing SD and SIM card and battery pull
So as can be seen I've tried tons of situations
A few times, the screen turned into repeated patterns of static colour, it's difficult to describe but its only happened a couple times, and appeared on top of the LG logo. From what I've gathered, something is preventing the phone from booting up properly, either normally or into recovery, unless the problem is something else entirely. Also I don't have any NANdroid or Titanium backups.
So my questions are, could it be that I need a full charge for it to boot properly? Otherwise what's the problem and how do I get the phone to boot normally? I would prefer that all data on the phone is not erased but if it's a must then so be it.
I really appreciate any and all help I can get here, thanks!
P.S. I'm new to rooting and customising at that level, so please ask for any additional details or anything I was unclear about. Apologies to all for the lengthy first post, thanks again!
AW: [Q] Boot issues after installing CWM recovery
Hi welcome
Girst thing you have to do before flashing or doining something with your phone is a nandroid backup. I do always a titaniumbackup and saved pictures and music manually only for insurence. Next thing, whcich app do you use for flashing cwm?
For your data im not sure if you can rescue that i dont think so.
If i understand it right your are stuck on bootlogo right?
To rescue your phone you can always go back to gb by flashing kdz file with flashtool. Watch here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540163
But in that case you will loose all your data on phone.
P.S. and next time if you want to flash cwm use os_hackings all in one tool. And flash twrp recovery its better and didnt have so much bugs

I used ROM Manager for flashing cwm, yes I am stuck on bootlogo
Thanks for the help! I'll try out what you suggested and report back here if it works
I had the Photon Q with the SIM mod and CM 9 working for 2 mouth. But yesterday, I were using the cellphone when it reboot itself and get freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning. I try to power it of but y could not, the I let it there until batery drain (about 4 hours)
Now when I boot the cellphone it has an strange behavior. Some times it freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning, other time make a loop boot (show the warning and restart). Also some times it display strange colors on the screen when try to boot and many times it display a randomly sorted grey vertical lines and very few times (one of every 50 times) it boot the ROM but when i touch the screen it goes black.
i can not conect to phone by adb and can not enter recovery, but i can access to the fastboot (in fact the fast boot is working but do not display anything on the screen, i suppouse that the same happend with the recovery. but i can not use it if the screen is black)
I used the fastboot and RSD to flash the stock firmware, the phone return fail on every 4.0.4 ROM but it work with the 4.1.2. After the flash some times thes phone display the morotola and sprint logo and then start the handfree configuration, but when I touch the screen it goes to black again.
I do not know if it is bricked, I think that if i have access to the fastboot i can resurrect the phone. but is very strange the random behavior.
Do you have any idea what should I do?
Thanks.
PS: sorry for my bad english
Re-Strange behaviour
Hi there, one of my Q's (also sim modded) was doing a similar bootloop warning etc. I was screwing around with it a bit. It's all good now though.
The way to force power down/reboot is to hold "volume -" and the power button for 10-15 seconds. If you drain the battery, you will be stuck with more boot-loops due to a flat battery. If you plug the charger in & the LED is green, this means it is charging a dead battery, & will need to charge for a while.
By the way, I had issues on my other Q handset running CM, failing to read the mSD card, and causing freezes, boot loops etc, so I went back to stock. Pretty sure most of the trouble is due to the mSD card read/mount error.
Edit:
Come to think about it - my Q failed after I tried to restore my CM10.1 backup from the previous phone. I suggest this may be contributing to the issue, as you are also running CM.
With the black screen/boot loop, force reboot by holding "vol -" & power button for 15 seconds, release power, then immediately hold "vol +" so it forces boot to recovery (TWRP if you have it).
I restored a previous backup eventually, but TWRP was not working too well after the screwy boot-looping etc. I ran a factory reset from the phone menu once it was running again, then rebooted into TWRP.
Super User wouldn't install from TWRP after, so I pushed it across & installed from TWRP, now I'm about to update TWRP to 2.6.
Still want to have a go at another ROM on this handset, so I can compare it to my stock one. I'm pretty sure CM10.1 was part of the problem on the other Q with my mSD card failing, as it has been fine ever since on stock.
Try this:
Try using adb to fastboot into recovery, then push TWRP (again) onto your Q using this method by arrrghhh http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070
Push Super User across onto your mSD & install that from TWRP as instructed also.
Restore a stock/custom backup from an earlier time if you have one, or flash a fresh download.
Let me know how you go.
P.S. make sure you have "USB Debugging" enabled in developer options in order to ADB fastboot recovery.

I tried it, but do not work.
I flash the stock ROM from fastboot and also flash several recoverys, but never boot any ROM and I think that i access to the recoverys but the screen is black then is very dificult to use it. Is strange beacouse some times screen displays perfect the unlocked bootloader warning, but never display anything on the fastboot or the recovery.
Witch part of the software have the video drivers that are used on the recovery and fastboot? I think that maybe is corrupted. how can i flash it again?
Thanks.
Hi, my wife has a HTC one xl and it is stock. Recently it has started to go into a boot loop and it will not boot up. She has since bought a new phone but would like to recover SMS messages from her mother who has only recently died. I have experience in rooting devices and installation of custom Roms but I don't know where to start with this and don't want to lose the data. I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader but it doesn't seem to work. I have attached photo's of the various screens but when I select the option to boot into recovery I get two green circular arrows and another pointing down for a short time then it goes back into the boot loop (Image below). Is there a way to get this to boot up without losing the data/SMS messages? Thanks.
