I need help rebooting my bootlooped phone. - General Questions and Answers

The phone I have is bootlooped Android Motorola Milestone (1) .
After I rooted it with " z4root ", I downloaded this app about Wifi Tethering, I tried it out, but then it said something like, "Are you sure your phone is rooted?"
And it also told me to try to reboot the phone, so I did, after like the 3rd time rebooting because it said the same thing, I attempted to turn it on after turning it off. It turned on but it stays stuck on the Motorola logo every time now.
I looked up on the web how to fix a bootlooped phone but none of them actually worked.
Sooooo, i'm hoping somebody can enlighten me about how to fix it because i can't afford another phone lol.

What about restoring your phone from the recovery? Have you done a backup recently? Usually I have this problem when I flash a kernel in contrast with my OS.. maybe the solution is simply: flash another OS if you don't have a backup

If its stuck on the Motorola screen then it sounds soft bricked which Odin should fix. But if its showing the ROM boot screen its probably just a bad flash which you could fix by flashing again or starting over and flashing twice

I mean, I am smart but like not up to date on the these terms and stuff lol
BUT that's not the point! I need help lol
and skinzy98, I'm sorry bro I can't take a picture. no camera..
but yeah it stays on the motorola screen when you start it up, the initial start screens are, Motorola logo and android logo, then it goes to the home screen . But when you start it, it just stays on the motorola logo. D:

It sounds like its just soft bricked. Is there a thread for this device if so Odin or heimdall will fix it depending on whether you have a Mac or pc

I do have odin. I downloaded something from samsung open source but dont know exactly what it is. Is is stock firmware? Its stored on my laptop. Havent done anything with it. Its still a zip file.

this is going to be a tough one.... it seems there isnt a whole lot of support for this phone yet. I would head over to one of the active Dart threads and post your question with them...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187618
your end goal here is to get a copy of the app you deleted and install it back on your phone since there arent any custom roms yet
Thank you guy for trying to help. Tmobile exchanged it for another phone. Again thank you.

Could have been an app you installed preventing it from booting properly, try to make a nandroid of your current rom then restore back to your original rom and let us know if it boots. If it does, it's most likely something on your rom. If it still doesn't boot that's more of a hardware issue.
Did you properly wipe, did you install a rom, you have to tell more information then just saying it wont boot could be anything why it wont boot answer what you did before you got to the point you are in now and then we can help.

You might want to tell people what the issue was and how you fixed it. Simply saying, "it's fixed," doesn't help people.

[Q] Samsung gt-i9020a (nexus s) wont turn on

Hi, I was trying to root my phone, a Samsung gt- I9020a (nexus s). I was following a tutorial and When attempting to load a recovery img the first time it did not work so I googled this issue and found a few answers. I proceeded to download and load the “ClockworkMod 6 recovery image” onto the phone by following the steps. Now my phone will not turn on even when holding the volume up+power button startup. Is there anything I can do??? Please help.
Is it completely dead? Will it not display a single bit of light on the screen? Or are you stuck in a bootloop

will not show any signs of life. no lights or anything.
I'm not an expert, but I know enough that if NOThING will power on the phone then it is hard bricked. However, I don't see how what you did could have possibly done it.... even if you mess up the recovery it shouldn't happen.

if it is hard bricked is there anything at all I can try to do from home to fix it?
See if your computer recognizes it. But I think it needs power for that because usually when you're screwed it at least has some form of life and you can connect. Try anyways, are you sure its not a problem with the battery though?

HELP! My tab won't turn on!

OK so what happened was I had the latest CM10 build installed and wanted to try the paranoid android rom out and I flashed my device with the 2.50 build. I soft bricked it. I could still go into recovery but the device wouldnt load into paranoid android. I had an emergency so I had to leave the device the way it was in a bootloop state I came back the device was off. Obviously It ran out of juice. And now when I try to charge it i don't get any response...... could this be a hard brick?? ??
please guys any help would bbe greatly appreciated!

Happened to once with a different model. Never had it fixed, as suggested by a technician, go to someone who has a JTAG. Same with what I was thinking, but I never bothered to had it fixed.
Good luck.

Well if I'm not mistaken I don't think there is jtag for our devices. well I fixed it now thank god! I took apart another p6200 and swapped out the batteries and as soon as I swapped them the one I thought was bricked booted up! I flashed the stock rom then rootedbit ahandball that now its working great! I guess it doesn't charge whenbits in a boot loop or something? Thanks man I really appreciate ur help

I just had this problem too and couldn't find any answers about what can I do to solve it...
I was trying to flash ICS ROM over Odin (I hate it), and it always stucked on the process. When I tried to reboot, it did just not woke up again!
What may have happened? Does someone knows what to do now?
I really don't know what to tell you... for me swapping out batteries fixed it but it was a real pain to do so. You could try keeping it plugged into the charger for a while and ssee if the screen powers on. If it does just put your tab in download mode and flash from Odin. Maybe u had a llow charge when you tried flashing stock?

[Q] Getting a bootloop, but I've never rooted or anything like that.

My sidekick has been recently just replaying the start-up screen. Once in a while it'll fully boot but then it just shuts off after a few seconds. I haven't messed around with it at all so I can't think of what may be causing this. If anyone could help that would be amazing. Thanks a lot!
Could be many things, if you debugging enabled try to get a logcat. Or if you don't mind loosing your data use hiemdall or Odin to flash back to stock fully
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Do I not need to be rooted for odin?
Nope, just put phone in download mode. If unfamiliar on how to use this I suggest hiemdall, Adam Outler made a one click hiemdall package which you can find in the first page or so of developer section, very very easy to use

The stock phone has issues id suggest you root an flash a nexus rom should fix a lot of issues
If you need text or anything "backup your mobile" or something like that works amazing

Some users also have had issues with the display ribbon cable coming loose at the hinge. You may also want to check out your battery..
Did you install any new software? There are apps out there that will cause boot loops on Froyo/Gingerbread.
Good luck. I miss the keyboard on my Sidekick, but I don't miss that crummy Samsung abomination that powers it.
