Ok, so i got CM7 on by vibrant last year, and its been great. I havent had any complaints or problems until today.
Today I was randomly gonna do something on my phone but i noticed it was on the start-up screen(the one with the android on the skateboard with the arrow around) the arrow wasnt turning. I thought I might have touched it in my pocket and it was just restarting. I waited about 2 minutes and the screen didnt change. So I decided to pull the battery and restart it.
After I restarted it, it got stuck on the same screen again, but this time the arrow was animated. and it is just stuck there. the arrow moves but nothing else happens. I have tried restarting several times after that and it is the same result every time.
I have no idea what happened or why it happened because I havent messed with anything on the rom in months. and yes i have restarted in between. can someone help me? any suggestions what i can do?
my theory is that CM was updating on its own or something and when i pulled the battery it hadn't finished yet. but I dont even know if that happens.
so any advice would be helpful or im going to have to completely wipe and reinstall again.
thanks
hello
try to wipe everything, if it doesnt work, install the rom again
May be ... its better to wipe only cash at start. And if it won't help then wipe everything.

As others have opened the same thread, a lot of people's desire S have hanged and died. Mine included.
2 weeks ago it hanged while I was updating in the market. The screen was dead for like 10 minutes, so I pulled the battery out. Next, it wouldn't turn on pass the HTC screen, and in recovery you couldn't do anything either. Factory reset doesn't work, so i was screwed.
I send it back to HTC, and it was back in 2 days with a new motherboard.
Good, so everything goes well for this week, and 30 minutes ago, the market showed it has new updates. So i clicked update all. Guess what happens.. HANGED AGAIN. Then when I rebooted the phone, it got stuck at HTC white screen AGAIN. No matter how many times you reboot, it will be stuck at that screen.
I was seriously so frustrated I wanted to throw it agaisnt the ball.
I went into recovery mode, at first it gave me all errors. The red triangle with exclamation showed up. I thought, crap, I was going to be without my phone for another week again.
Finally after trying recovery n rebooting like 20 times.. it worked.. i was in tears when I heard the htc booting sound..
but this is a serious problem. Updating apps is a normal phone function, and it should not do hang. My phone was not even rooted or s-off. When it died I was seriously thinking of shouting at the HTC staff and asking them to give me an incredible or smth.
It's quite frightening how often this has happened now
Did you have fast boot enabled?
although considering that this was very nealy the second time that this happened to you, I'd try to get a replacement device (another ds) and not a fixed one
Good luck

Help guys, I just randomly restarted my TITAN to brag about my startup speed (she has a GS2), luckily she went in to get some water. I had updated it with the most recent HTC update two days ago, no problems there. Was developer unlocked without any hacking. I've tried re-rebooting it. It's not booting to recovery with the camera button down too. Theres an option to factory reset if I hold down the volume buttons on boot, but I really want that to be my last option, if it even works at all. Please tell me theres something I can do about this ... my heart is breaking!
try pulling the battery out and then restarting?
Moved to Q&A
Eh ... I did that, heck, i've even let the battery run out too. Plugged to my computer and it shows the charging icon. After a bit, it reboots (expectedly) and gets stuck at th logo all over again. I'm at my wits end. I really don't want to reset it; whether its all my precious data thats preventing me from doing it - or the fact that if it still doesn't work afterwards i'm totally screwed, I don't know.
//Sorry for posting in the wrong forum
Phew. So after about 6 hours of random button holding, battery pulling and facepalming, I decided to factory reset the phone. Funny thing is, as I rebooted and held the volume buttons, the download mode screen popped up! Luckily, since I had just updated the phone about two days ago, not only do I have a restore point, but its a recent one too! So glad.
Now the question, was it the update that caused this problem? I noticed that the OS version remained at 7720 after the update, didn't know what the BL/radio version were previously. Any TITAN owners care to chime in?
I had this exact problem with my Titan just a few weeks ago. I didn't have a restore point unfortunately. But had to go through the whole reset process
Hi
I have a problem with my Galaxy S2 where it's in a constant reboot loop and the only way to stop it is by taking the battery out.
I'm sure that if I do a factory reset it'll go back to normal.
The problem is, I can't back anything up because as soon as the phone boots up it restarts.
Is there ANY other way to back up my photos and videos etc?
I have NOT rooted the phone
Cannot find any solutions online
I'm currently having this problem too. A couple of days ago it kept rebooting in a loop. I took the battery out and left it for a while, then let it charge. It seemed okay afterwards. Now today it keeps rebooting, and the past couple of days it has refused to charge the battery because apparently the battery was "too hot or too cold" (don't quote me on that) so I'm very confused. Just now though the battery was about half-charged and it still went into the reboot loop.
Something else you should know is that like the OP it has the stock OS on. It isn't rooted or modified. I don't want to factory reset it because I have spent so much time customising it (with apps) and it would be a pain in the ass if the problem still existed afterwards. One thing I must ask the OP is, did you recently get a 64GB MicroSDXC card for your S2? I ask this because I did a couple of weeks ago and it's been working fantastically and was said to work fine with the S2, but I'd like to explore any possible reason this reboot loop is happening.
Thanks.
Edit: To confirm I deleted the cache and this didn't help. I don't want to hard reset...
I've just done a factory reset - I hadn't realised that it only affects my apps and not my files.
The phone is ok now.
My Nexus 5 is in a Continous bootloop, i literally cant do anything, it tries to boot and gets to the animation screen and then keeps repeating i tried going to recovery to restore a backup but it will go to the bootloader screen for a few seconds before deciding to try and bootup again and failing, sooo annoying. And the thing is I didnt even do anything to it, i was literally using it a few minutes ago to watch a youtube video, then this happened out of nowhere... Anyone have a clue?? This thing is supposed to last me atleast 2 years, no idea how infuriating this is!

since you have rooted i assume you can return to stock configuration!
Help is at hand...literally
This is pretty crazy, I just came on XDA to post about this as it happened to me this morning and I saw this thread so figured you might be having the same problem. My phone went from working fine one second to an unbreakable bootloop the next, I couldn't get into recovery or anything because it would only flash on that screen for a second before rebooting again. In the end I took to frustration, I waited for the phone to reboot and then hit the power button side against my hand (without touching the power button) before it could reboot again and it finished booting into android! I think it must be a hardware problem in which the power button gets stuck down. It seems to have fixed the problem for now at least and I can use my power button properly.
Hope this helps!
Okay, so, I know I am not the only one with this issue. At the same time I know not ALOT of people have this issue. Lets get right down to it, I bought a Note I717 from someone who claimed that it was stuck in a bootloop. Well, I turned it one when I got home after doing a factory restore and it came on and stayed on. I thought I had fixed it until the battery died.
Symptoms:
Boots up fine
Stays on for around 2 minutes
Freeze then Reboot
Happens every time. I have tried to restore stock firmware, have tried custom roms. Have rooted it, unrooted it. Battery holds a charge and is perfectly fine. Power button is NOT stuck.
There have been 2 times I have got it to come on and stay on for like 12 hrs then it will freeze and cut off, then start the rebooting sequence all over again. Anybody think they can help me out?

whn i had a similar issue, the answer turned out to be that i was overclocking. if you are overclocking/undervolting it can cause random reboots.
