After updating to Jelly Jean I've decided to wipe the phone in order to start clean and that's when everything started.
After wiping the phone it just didn't turn on automatically and everytime I've tried to do it I ended up on an Android animation, the same we get when we update the system, and anything happens, the animation goes away and the screen gets black.
So I've searched and found a way to get into the boot options and selected "Normal Boot" and everything seemed to be fine, but then I went out of baterry and after a full charge the Android animation came back. I did all the boot thing over again and now everytime I have to restart the phone I have to boot manually.
Can you guys help me?
Had exactly the same pub when I upgraded from its to job ota... And it's not the first time I read about this here. The only stable fix for me was to download rsd lite + the full firmware and to flash it through fast boot mode. This definitely looks like a corrupted upgrade.
I'm gonna send it back to Moto. Thanks for helping.

My sister said she spilled a little water on the screen of her phone the other day and it started boot looping.
Ive been trying to reflash it, but there are some issues...
If the phone is plugged in, it will cycle the charging battery on and off... unable to get into download or recovery.
If its not, it used to show the galaxy boot screen and turn on and off... now it just stays frozen on that screen. In either instance i was unable to get into recovery or download mode.
I got into recovery a couple of times when it actually booted the ROM, but everytime i would use the power button to try to make a selection the phone would just reboot and go into a cycle again.
I also got it into download mode once through the ROM but it cant get the ROM to boot anymore...
I might be able to get it into recovery but when i do it just reboots when i select anything.
and help would be awesome
thanks.
OH, when i actually got the ROM to boot it would throw an array of system errors and force closes. I also think the water had nothing to do with it and something she did after the water is what started causing the problems
I got recovery and i flashed a new kernal and ROM and erased everything and its still freezing at first Galaxy boot screen.
probably because the phone is water damaged?
See if the guide in the second link of my signature will help.
Thanks ill give it a shot.
But a major problem is that i am unable to get it to boot into download mode.
So i got CWM to boot, and i reflashed the kernal and ROM, with no luck.
CWM read catch error. Unable to mount... format... ect...
From what ive been reading the internal catch is fried....
Anyone have a motherboard they want to ship me? LOL :laugh:
Thanks lumin30, I finally found a way to get the phone into download mode. (take the battery out, Put it back in, hold buttons, plug USB in, press power button) after a few reboots it would finally go.
I followed the link and got it back to stock and it booted. Now letting it sit to settle in and hopefully it will be functional again.
This thread can be deleted! :good:
Hi guys...thanks for taking a minute to help me out.
I have been using the Cyanogenmod Nightlies for a few months, and have recently been experiencing a few random quirks since upgrading to the new version of Android. I decided that I'd do a full wipe and then install the new nightly. Everything worked fine, the phone booted, I could use apps, etc. Then, I decided to restore some of my apps and data from Titanium Backup.
It took about 40 minutes, and then finally got stuck on 98% which was "android data" or "system data" or something like that...i checked back a few minutes later and the phone was completely dead/frozen. I eventually pulled the battery and rebooted the phone, and now it's just stuck in a bootloop.
When I try to boot into recovery, it freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen for a while, and then turns off. However, i CAN boot into download mode.
Can someone please point me in the right direction here? I know that android 4.2.2 reworks some of the system folders, making reverting back to a previous version difficult..? I don't know what to do. Really, I just need to be able to get into recovery, but I'm too ignorant to figure it out.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me, it's very much appreciated!
hold tight, guys! for some reason, it booted into recovery after like the 50th try. hopefully i can figure it out from here! thanks
Hi guys!
First off, I'm running on KatKiss 217. For a while now I've been stuck to the boot screen of my tablet. Before that I was using it while USB connected to the PC in our office. But then the battery run out so it turned off, I disconnected it and went back home to charge. When I turned it on while charging it was stuck on the boot screen.
Since I was going to upgrade to KatKiss 218, I went on ahead and flashed the 218. So I Format system, installed KatKiss 218 and cleared Dalvik/Cache. When I rebooted it gets past the boot screen but gets stuck on Android Upgrading: Starting Apps. Tried to revert back to KatKiss 217 but same thing happens.
Any idea how I can fix this? Hope you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance!
I think first of you must flash also the gapps. And full wipe would help too it stalled at start-up screen.
Sometimes flashing the same file twice would force it to installed properly and boot it successfully.
Finally got it to work! As you said, I had to do a Factory reset first to get it to work. Not sure why since I never had to do it before. Still, got it to work now. Thanks, man!
Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.
Hi

My father-in-law's S6 was rebooting right after the menu screen came up. After trying numerous things which wouldn't work (still had varying boot loops) like getting into the recovery mode and doing a factory wipe, I decided to use Odin and flash the base stock Android nougat on this (it had the one verizon security patch after that, so should be no issue doing this).
That went okay and it rebooted and got all the way to "Android is starting" which you see after a firmware upgrade. But I didn't realize the battery had run down through all this so it died at this stage. So it was taking a charge now, so let it charge overnight and give it another run.
Got up today, tried to start it...back to the boot loop. So I figured I'd flash stock again with Odin (can always get back to that mode).
It completes successfully and then after the reboot at about 32% jumps to "erasing" and then the boot loop again.
Got into recovery mode once and wiped cache (pointless at this point, but whatever) and did factory reset there, then boot to bootloader. Got all the way to the verizon screen...and then boot loop again.
Is this phone just done? The only thing I can consistently get to is Odin mode. I tried the stock reflash a couple more times and keep ending up in a boot loop and it doesn't even get past the "custom" screen now. And I can't even actually get it to shutdown for that matter. I can get to the battery pull mode but if I try to power off from there, I just get the black screen with the blue light.
And, to make matters even worse, now on restart, it brings up the blue system update screen for a second, then jumps over to the no command screen, sits there for a second, then reboots again. I think I've somehow managed to even blow the recovery menu but this has all been stock and never had any custom firmware or root.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
