[Q] Endless Boot Loop after installing SERVICES.JAR to remove data throttling

Hi all,
I'm having an issue and hope someone can point me to the right direction (thanks).
I followed the all the steps from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052064) and after the rom manager asked me to reboot my phone and it went into the endless boot looping. The LG screen show up for around 15 seconds and went back to do the same thing over and over again.
Here are what I've tried so far.
1. Remove the battery to turn back on and issue still persist
2. Tried using the Power button + Volumn down to boot into recovery mode. What it did here was the screen shows the android guy jumping out of the box for around 20 seconds and the screen turn off, then the LG login screen comes back doing it things again.
I have very limited knowledge on android base so I'm not sure what else to try to get my phone back to life again.
I had a post on that thread to ask some other people in there but they seem to ignore my post so if anyone here could help me please, I would appreciate it.

Did you nvflash recovery? If so reflash the stock rooted rom (or any other you want). If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation..

Hi Squish099,
Thanks for looking into my issue.
I've never done nvFlash recovery before, so according to your response, you said
"If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation.."
How do I have going to fix the situation? Sorry for my stupid question.
If you could, can you please provide me some basic steps/direction? Like I said, I have very limited knowledge on how android work so if you could, I would really appreciate.

you can try this

not sure if you can do this if the phone is already messes up.
But before you do things you need to read. you could of saved yourself a lot of heartache because the throttleing thing doesnt work at all anyways. and there are a couple threads here already that state that.
I searched and thats the best i found for ya. hopefully someone is more informed with your situation and can help but in the mean time read through that and see if you find anything helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't think he can do that if he can't boot into recovery at all.
@justin
I had the same problem with my old G2, I couldn't boot into recovery and ended up getting a new phone because no one knew what to do to fix it. Since you didn't use Nvflasher to flash clockworkmod recovery, you can't boot into recovery manually, you have to use the ROM manager app to boot into recovery.
I'm not sure what you can do to fix it honestly, I spent days searching for answers

Oops, damn your right ^. I misunderstood the wikipedia page =/

Yes, I spent couple hours already searching for resolution but can't find definite answer. I'm sure someone else out there having the same issue but was able to fix the issue.
I don't think people can easily throw away a good phone like this. Hope there is a resolution for this very soon

My new theory:
Noob + endless bootloop + no recovery = brick
I'm sorry to say but methinks thou art ****ed. Hopefully you have assurion and can just claim you lost it. Well actually I hope you fix it but .. well you know what I'm gonna say. Gl hope it works out for ya....

[Q]Flashing roms help

I have a stock Infuse 4g from AT&T and I would like a step by step, like a tutorial of everything I have to do for flashing custom roms, what to backup, installing CWM, etc. Thanks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514886
[REF] Super Infuse Noobie Question Thread. Lots of questions answered
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Yes, I know about that thread, but they don't answer all of my questions, like for example: I have stock GB, do I still root with super one click? What is the first step in flashing custom roms, rooting and then installing CWM? How do I install CWM? What to use to backup apps? What is Rom manager from the android market and what is it for, is it useful? How to backup contacts? Before flashing, should I remove the sim card? When flashing, is it always done in CWM? If so, what's the exact process?
What I want is more of a fool proof step by step, just to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I had to use Heimdall's one click back to stock to go from froyo to GB UCKJ4 because of the boot loop even though the phone wasn't rooted or anything, it was stock. If I did that, what are my options? What should I do if I want to flash custom roms from scratch? Also, CWM is kept even after a factory reset or a wipe? it doesn't get deleted in any way when you want ti flash another Rom?

Wow, I'm sorry but you should do some research first before you ask these questions. Google has an excellent feature called search. I'm sure if you use it you can find your answers as they have all been asked before. Everything I have learned has been from reading and rereading everything I could before I attempted rooting. Android central has a great guide to everything root. Then come back with questions. Sorry to go off but it seems like people just come here to have their hand held. I'm sure you could find someone to donate to on here that would take you by the hand if that's the route you choose.

Anyway, lol..the spoon was on all my signature links

Let me just throw this out there: as a noob myself, I understand where op is coming from. On forums this large, it is easy to get lost. I also find that I spend so much time reading things that don't answer my questions. I know that's part of the process though, but can feel pretty overwhelming.
May I suggest that not just 1 person has to answer all the questions. Maybe u come across a post like this and answer just 1 or 2 questions, or paste in a link or 2 to where the specific question is answered.
Also, I know that I've asked a question in the most appropriate place & someone has come back saying it's not the right place, even though it's in the q&a - noob - device forum. It's just hard at first. So, pls, don't bust op's chops too bad, b/c somewhere on here it says that it helps everyone if anyone takes some of their time to educate.

Noob here too, but I have done some of this successfully, and then I played around too much and really, really bricked my phone - but fixed it, so I have learned a bit. These are my thoughts:

Yes. Get rooted. I've used S-O-C twice. Had to play around with it first. I think I ended up being successful by doing it thru my phone, not on the PC.

1st step - root, then - backup more than just 1 way-use some from market and put things in more than 1 place; Titanium Backup seems to be standard around here too. Here is a great youtube link that helped me a lot to prepare: http://youtu.be/ozNVeGPUlU8

Can't think of another way of saying this...HELP!
So, I was able to get 3e and clockworkmod recovery installed on my Infuse. (A great accomplishment for me, trust me)
I went through the process of wiping data and caches to install my new ROM but I put the two zips (Cyan7 & Google Apps) on the external sdcard so when I went to install them I couldn't see them. I thought my only option then was to chose to restore from backup in CM recovery and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo.
I tried a battery pull and VOLup/VOLdwn/POWER to try to get into recovery but I'm still stuck on the boot logo. What can I do now?
I'd really appreciate your help. Cheers.

No need to recover. Simple enough. U've tried restarting normal, and it didn't work?

No unfortunately...
I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo. I think my battery pull after being frozen after the restore didn't help matters. I've tried vol+/vol-/power and vol-/power and still can't get into recovery. Plugged into my MAC it's not recognized.

Well, if it were me, I'd pull batt and let it sit while I search this site to see what other people have done when stuck in the loop. You're sure to find answers somewhere in/related to being bricked threads, though I'm sure you're not bricked, so relax and take a breath. I'd offer other suggestions, but I'm too new, so it'd just be speculation on my part.

Good news: your phone is not bricked, as it's responding, it's just stuck on boot, so there's something wrong with the ROM you flashed (maybe a wrong one?).
Have you tried taking your battery off, waiting for a while, put in back in, and then tried to enter CVM? I'd like to help you further, but I don't own that phone.
Also check the Q&A and General threads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1138 for a similar problem.

If you used HTCDev to unlock your phone then you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) every time you install a new custom ROM. Check in the threads for full instructions on it.

Phone was rooted using TWRP. I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot up into anything but the page with the TAMPERED RELOCKED screen, also has bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. Am I screwed? I just wanted to revert my rooted phone back to the original OS and it's been a freaking NIGHTMARE ):

So you've relocked the bootloader, and then nothing else?
Run the RUU from the bootloader screen. Make sure the RUU is for YOUR phone

That's the thing, I can't get into it! I can't get into that screen where I could access stuff to INSTALL, MOUNT, etc.. it keeps taking me to the white screen with bootloader,reboot, etc.

Seeing as though you have relocked the bootloader you can either a. unlock the phone again so you can install a custom rom or b. run a ruu to get it back to stock.

Yeah because the problem is i have no OS to boot into. It just goes into recovery mode. Can you point me in the direction on how I can unlock the bootloader again?

No no no. You said you wanted to go back to stock correct?
Download your stock RUU, and run from that white menu that says RE-LOCKED at the top. That's your bootloader

Ok, when you mean run from that white menu that says RELOCKED, how can I run it from that menu if I cant get into anything from this menu? Do you mean just run the RUU program from my computer and have my phone connected to the PC? I used to be able to go into that TWRP screen when i was in bootloader but now I can't.

XHaGGeNx said:
Ok, that's what I am doing already. I am downloading the RUU for my phone. Hope to gawd this will save my phone. I am just worried because it's literally stuck at this bootloader menu screen. I can't do anything else.

Believe me, the fact your screen is on is a sign you are not bricked. Run the RUU (Make sure it's one that is easily rootable, like the 1.85 for ATT), and go through the process of bootloader and unlock and rooting. Hope this helped

I am glad to hear that. It's almost done downloading, about 4 minutes left. I really want to thank you for helping me out here. I am such a screw up with this stuff. Sigh. anyways, I'll let you know what happens here shortly. Thank you so much once again. Really..

Honestly man once you get back to stock, don't worry about unlocking and rooting it. You have no business rooting your phone and flashing roms if you can accidentally delete your os, backup file, and the recovery partition. Not trying to be rude, but think about it, you could of destroyed your phone with one more bad flash

It's working! It's updating and everything. Phew! No offense taken, I hear ya and agree. Just being a noob at all this can put me into a lot of trouble. I have learned a lot of stuff though lol. Anyways, thank you everyone for helping me! I should be good from here

Glad to hear its working

Cheers man, good to hear everything is fixed.
If you need anything else, contact me. There are a bunch of ways to.
As for rooting again? Just read up and you'll be set.

Hate to bump heads with ya dude but this isn't the way to be, I frown upon threads like this as well but I encourage others to root no matter who they are.

My apologies. We had been PMing for over an hour before this thread trying to get his phone back. I came off a little rude on that last post but he knows how hard I was trying to help him and that he can always come here for answers. Most forum guys would tell him to "search it"

please
how did you fix your phone i almost have same problem

He didn't delete ROM, recovery or anything. He relocked his bootloader. It just won't let you reboot unless you relock with a stock recovery flashed.

[Q] Please help unbrick???!!!!

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom

It can be done either way.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.

I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...

I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck
