[Q] Nexus S stuck in Boot loop

Hi,
sorry for my post, but i'm devastated and can't find anything
I flashed my Nexus S, I9023, with the new ICS update from the Google servers
and now it is stuck in a constant boot loop
Going into fastboot and choosing recovery doesn't help
I can only see a lying Android with a red triangle and then nothing happens
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks

Try this...it will work after that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393

tried it but i can't get it working
I always get a theme failure...

you will need to do do a full wipe. then install as install from sd card and locate the update file.

Same Issue Here

Hi, any luck with this issue?! I'm having exactly the same problem

You could try flashing the recovery through fastboot or even wipe the device and flash the ROM through fastboot.

Thanks... At the end I wasn't even able to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Found a guide on how to force my way into Clockwork Mod, and tried to load a ROM - without success...
I ended up leaving my phone on boot the whole night, and sure enough, it was working in the morning. Mind you, I've had it booting or more than half an hour before, and nothing happened.
So personally, I don't have an explanation why it works all of a sudden.
My suggestion is, leave it booting overnight and "hope for the best" - it worked for me.

[Problem] Boot loop, Phone only boots into recovery mode

Recently I hard reseted my Optimus 3d and now my phone just trapped in a boot loop. As the title says, my phone now only boots into recovery mode and even though I have rooms to flash, i can't install any of them. Because, as soon as i reboot my phone it enters again into recovery mode.
Am I missing something? if so how con i restore my phone back to normal?
Thank you for your help

Have no fear
Vlad is here
just go to this threat, Read the first post and then download the file form the first post. After that flash new recovery. And do not forget to read the first post there
good luck

Haha, I just had the exact same problem (one thread above, or now rather below). This seems to come from flashing a custom ROM on the stock boot loader. To fix the problem I just flashed everything again (bootloader-things, TWRP, official Android 4 from xball via LG Flash tool). I'm not quite sure if EVERYTHING is necessary to flash or just the ROM via LG Flash Tool, but what I got when flashing my personal ROM over it again is "security error"...

wrong forum man do you read title

Hello everybody I have some problems with my smartphone sensation Htc XL with beats Audio X315es . I try recently to change my Rom because my battery was defective. When I charge it the level of the battery stops in 28 % and it is the stop. I try with other original batteries(drum kits), but without any success. It is the first problem. The second is that since I began the stages of the boot loader the telephone, when I connect him(it) to the computer goes direct in mode(fashion) fastboot and maintaining the freed boot loader it always persists and it is not the mode normal recovery of Htc but rom manager NB:it is with Roma manager that I fell in love my telephone. Think of having you solutions for it if yes I wait for your answers thank you in advance.

hey guys i am having the exact same problem ..in my moto e..xt1022 indian version...what to do ?

STILL on 3.1 please HELP :(

Hi all
ive been with Android since inception and have no issues with Mobiles BUT i got the Xoom when it first came out with 3.1 installed, the previous owner who bought it only 1 week previous had Rooted it (clockworkmod) issue is none of the updates work and im stuck on 3.1!!!!
I downloaded the latest 4.1.2 zip to install of the boot menu following : [UPDATE][JB]Stock Android 4.1.2 JZO54K, Root, via CWM Recovery (US Wi-Fi MZ604) - xda-developers but issue is 3.1 dosent support SD card reading so how can i manage to install said Zip file????
PLEASE PLEASE Help ive had enough of 3.1 and feel like im the last one left on it?
Thanks
Steve

Anyone !!!!!

I think the recovery can still see SD CARD. Stick the zip on an SD and insert the SD and boot into recovery. Should be able to flash. Or get the fast boot images and fastboot flash them. Should be able to pull the images from that zip.

What screen? Take a picture or be specific in description. Usually on new installs a wipe data/factory reset is required. Did you do that prior to ROM flash?
Sometimes a good old fashioned reboot works too. Hold power+volume up for a couple second until reboot. Sitting a one screen for 10 minutes generally isn't good.

Soft/Hard Bricked N5 For No Reason

Hi,
this is my first topic and post so don't blame . On last Friday (05.31.2014) I was at school but it was free day so i was enjoying my 1 month old N5. I was using Elix-R rom with kernel included in this ROM. When I was sitting on Google Play my phone did soft reboot but bootanimation was ''scratching'' and bugging. I had decided to do a restore but i was done in 14 second so i knew something went wrong. When I tried to reboot my phone was stuck on google logo and it was rebooting to the same state over and over again (after about 10 seconds). When I came home i tried to flash stock rom's images but i got the same result. oh, and I forgot. When i was restoring, TWRP boot again but it was still restoring. I had some CM zips so i flashed them but it didnt help either. After flashing stock i had tried to access stock recovery but i got same result as before(Google logo). Some time ago I read about temporary booting recovery so i tried it but i didn't help. On Saturday I boot up phone again and i saw stock rom's bootanimation ''scratching'' and loading again as before after ''soft reboot'' on Friday. Now I've locked and re-unlocked bootloader again but i forgot about typing ''fastboot reboot'' in cmd. I've just clicked Power button on N5 and small android with loading bar appeared but after several seconds it stopped and booted again. I accessed the bootloader again and flashed stock images. Then locked/unlocked again and my phone is not booting and i cant access any recovery.
I really dont know what to do. I haven't modified my kernel or something. I haven't done anything bad - I was just surfing the internet and downloading apps from GP. I hope you'll understand all because I'm sure my English is not good enough. Thank you guys for help already

Well then you should be fine. If your bootloader is still unlocked flash a custom recovery via fast boot then flash a ROM/gapps/su.

hey, thanks for your fast reply!
i tried to flash the boot.img again and rebooted, but nothing.
then i made the factory reset, but still nothing
and btw. how does it look, when it works? i mean after new rom-install, i guess theres a loading screen while first bootup is processed?
or does it just keeps stay on that white display with htc logo?
edit: i just found out, that with exact version "version-main: 4.09.776.3", there is no ruu existing for the m4 .. crap, i have no backup

I reommend you to change recovery better usw TWRP 2.7.1.1 or latest Philz recovery.
If you want use Philz recovery...there is an option:
wipe all--install a new ROM ...use this Option...then reinstall ROM ..like you did before
Should work now...but some patience neefed takes some time on first boot

You get the plain white HTC screen with Powered by Android for a long while...at least couple of minutes (or it seems that way, anyway), so try to be patient on this one.
Then you get the HTC One screen with BeatsAudio at the bottom for a while. I think on this screen when it's about to take you into phone setup, you get Preparing SIM card toast.
Then you get setup.
I don't think there are ever any progress bars.

bingo! i installed twrp, did a wipe first, pushed the rom and installed zip - rebooted
waited 30 seconds and there it was finally ! thank you !!!!
it nearly instantly beeped and animated the logo into the beatsaudio-display, from that moment i knew it must work
i have a feeling, that the cwm not really works that good anymore.
also if i remember right, it was the reason for the initial fail-wipe, which caused all this.... :cyclops:
