Hi iv got a HTC ONE S, it is stuck on boot loop is there any way i can get my pictures and data off my phone? thanks
Can you get into the recovery? And are you running a custom recovery?
If you can get into your recovery(cwm or twrp) you can plug it into usb and mount it as usb storage.
If I helped in any way please hit thanks
Just fix the bootloop. Sounds like you gave up on it. Can you get into the bootloader? Hold volume down and power. Till the device shuts off. Then redo that method and poof. Hboot. If you can. What hboot version are you on?

I have the same problem, phone keep reboot and will not turn on, i can get into recovery, but can not get contact via USB, what am i doing wrong?
Any step by step how to get out pictures before setting it back to factory settings
recovery loop
Just rooted HTC One S TMOUS using Hasoon 2000's tool. tried CWM backup of rooted stock, then followed instructions for PA 2.52 + gapps. Got stuck on PA boot screen. Won't boot all way up.
Phone will only boot into recovery. adb reboot bootloader goes into recovery. can't get into hboot to restore stock using RUU.
Advice?
Thanks kindly.
Same Problem here.
I wanted to join a wifi-network, then the htc freezed and now it's in bootloop.
I still read some oder threads in the internet but not realy good ideas I like.
Does anyone know whats happening in HBoot when I use "Clear Storage"? Does he clear the phone-memory or the SD-Memory? Or anything else?

did anyone solve this? I have an unbranded unrooted HTC One S that is also stuck in a bootloop. I was just scanning the WIFI networks from settings and then the phone started looping by itself and only stopped after the battery was empty.
The phone is not modified in any way. I can get into hboot with power-volume down but then what? I don't really feel like doing a factory reset. Is there any other way out? Does the factory reset help?
Hi
I had the same problem and fixed it.
I made factory reset, then when i configured my Google account i disables the "sync Internet" Option.

Ya seen someone say that not sure if it was you but also some people have found having to many saved hotspots can also send you into a bootloop.
in my case for sure it was the google account cause i did factory reset, and had no saved hotspots and still it happened when i switched the wifi on\off after the factory reset(i mead got into boot-loop and needed a factory reset).
it is a serious bug\problem - i can't believe this can happen because of such a silly configuration.
the OS of HTC is not stabled at all!
If your bootloader is locked, then you dont have too many options re getting information off of your phone. Someone else may be able to post ideas. A factory reset may be your only option..
If you have already unlocked your bootloader, my suggestion would be to flash the latest TWRP Custom Recovery (google it). You can connect to your computer via usb through TWRP and access your sd card to get pictures, videos etc off of it.
Through TWRP you can also have access to adb.exe (ie using adb.exe commands and not just fastboot.exe commands, and thereby access all sorts of adb related commands (backups, linux shell, etc).
In order to actually fix the bootloop, well, usualy I find this is due to issues with the Kernel and custom ROM you are flashing (either one or the other), and so would reflash whatever worked before (ie a previous ROM or previous kernel).
But if this is all happening on a device you have not rooted nor flashed anything custom... Well, then that is a good question!

Ya I'm not saying what you said is wrong or didn't work for you but I do think I could be right about kongo09 and Bond246 issue since it did happen when dealing with wifi and seen a few people say the same thing.
I am in a bootloop. What i did to get the phone start is just press first down volume button then power button (keep holding them until the phone goes oof). Inmediatily when the phone go off, stop pressing anything. ANYTHING, BE FAST, and it will boot normally. I am now tryying to get the stock recovery to avoid this sht.

Did the factory reset make you lose all your data? As in: pictures etc? I have read varying stories regarding this, some say you lose it all, some say you don't.
I have some recordings of interviews on there that I really(!!!) cannot lose. Does anyone know if HTC has the possibility to recover files from a phone in this condition?

If you unlocked the bootloader then you could flash TWRP which will let you mount SD for the PC.

Unfortunately not... Unrooted, stock bootloader and all... I spent all day reading threads on different forums, but so far it seems that there is no other solution to this bootloop problem than just doing a factory reset. But like I said, I have some very important recordings on my phone and before I give up on them I want to make sure I tried everything.
If anyone knows of a way to root and flash a new bootloader without wiping all my data in the process, that would be highly appreciated.
Or if anyone knows whether it is possible to somehow approach the storage (maybe through Linux) while the phone is bootlooping (not normally recognized by computer).
But also: I would very much like to hear from people who have done a factory reset from the stock boot loader: has it wiped just your apps and app data? Or has it wiped your files as well (photos, music, recordings etc)?
Like I said: any info would be much appreciated...

Not much you can do then because even unlocking could wipe SD.
Not sure if its possible with a locked bootloader but you may want to try getting into your bootloader then try typing fastboot boot <working kernel file>
Replace the phrase "<working kernel file>" with a stock boot.img that you know works.
As you can see this command is different from fastboot flash boot <working kernel file>.
This may get you out of the bootloop if you had kernel issues, and may allow you to load a kernel temporarily. Not sure if it works on locked bootloaders but it might.
If all you can access is the bootloader and fastboot, then you really have to play around with fastboot commands. See http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot for the list.
Good luck!

Stock bootloader, same bootloop scenario - factory reset wiped everything including photos, music, other files. Clear storage seems to keep everything except the installed apps and configuration. It's the 4th time I'm doing it unfortunately :
Hello,
I flashed Cyanogenmod 9 on my S3, and wanted to play around with the full phone encryption feature. I decided I don't like it, and want to go back to no encryption.
I did a factory reset through the rom, and the phone still prompted me for my password. (?) I even tried to wipe in clockwork recovery and still no dice. I did notice that /sdcard cannot be mounted in clockwork recovery, and that might be the issue?
I feel like a complete newb here, but I was hoping someone could explain how to remove the encryption, and explain why it is still present after a factory reset....
This isnt the Galaxy S3 forum, this is the Galaxy 3 Forum >.<
D'oh. Sorry about that. Just read that sticky.

I think the encryption feauture modified the /system. Even after a factory reset the /system stays the same meaning it doesn't get wiped and that may be the reason your phone is still encrypted. Try reflashing the ROM. Anyway, use the right forum next time

Alright, I have a somewhat unique problem, so bear with me. I have a Oneplus One that I rooted and then tried to encrypt (under Settings > Security). What I didn't know before encrypting was that there is a bug where Wi-Fi won't turn on. The only way to get my Wi-Fi back is to undo the encryption on my phone (i.e. reset it).
My first question is, can I reset and keep root (and, if so, how)?
Failing that, my second question is, how do I reset my rooted phone safely so it won't get stuck in a boot loop or, worse, get bricked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
You can't keep root through a full reset, but that should really be of no concern because rooting the device is as simple as flashing a SuperSU zip again. As far as the encryption goes though I'm not sure, I've never bothered with it because it's a waste of time, hopefully someone else can chime in about that part.

i dont use this forum as i have a different phone and i dont particularly want to sift through every thread to find an answer so i thought id ask to find out for myself
my partner owns a stock unrooted totally unmolestered original moto g running android lollipop and earlier today it started to lag and flashed up with an error she didnt have time to read, not long after it completely froze so i tried to turn it off and on again. after trying to turn it on again it has gone in to a bootloop and will not start properly.
any help on a solution would be much appreciated if anyone can help me ASAP.
cheers
Boot to recovery and try wiping cache. If that doesn't work, you may have to do a full wipe which means losing all files on the phone.

any guides on how to wipe the cache without rooting it? im assuming id have to use fastboot or adb or whatever but the internet hasnt exactly helped me with any solutions
Just wipe by booting into stock recovery.

Hi ~
- Be kind with me, it's my first post! -
I'm facing a very bad problem with my Galaxy S6. A week ago I received an OTA from Samsung and I installed it. My phone rebooted and showed the bugdroid, meaning that the update was progressing. After that, the device keep rebooting over and over just after I entered my encryption password. I said to myself that I can try to wipe the cache because maybe an application was causing this problem. But now, the device is only showing the Samsung logo then just shut himself off.
Now I need your help to get my data. The hard part is that my device is encrypted. After many hour of search I see two solutions:
Flash the rom via ODIN
Install TWRP which can read encrypted volumes
The first solution seems easy and I keep the warranty. The problem is that I'm not 100% sure that flashing the rom again will not touch the /data and /sdext partitions (and the header/footer where master key are to decrypt the volume).
The second solution seems safer and should not touch any other partitions. But knox counter will be incremented and I will loose my warranty.
So, does anyone could test if flashing the rom via ODIN do not absolutely touch encrypted volumes and certificate that I will be able to get my data again?
Thank you a lot
Have a leap of faith. Go ahead and flash. Otherwise bring it to Samsung for warranty repair. They may be able to recover your data for you.

I want to be sure and I don't want to loose any photos if possible, so no
I already tried to go in a Samsung repair store (Allo PSM), but they just don't care about my data, their job is just to make the phone working again.
So Anyone is able to confirm to me that flashing stock Galaxy S6 ROM (AP Via Odin) doesn't touch the /data and /sdext partition that are encrypted?
After many hours of search, I was able to make my phone working again!
For anyone concerned by the problem in the future, here's some informations:
You can flash a stock rom, your encrypted /data will not be erased and you will be prompt to enter your password on the next boot
In my case flashing a newer rom didn't solve my problem (bootloop after entering the password of the encrypted partition). I had to flash the rom that was in the phone before the OTA.
Now everything seems to working again. No data were lost, all my configuration was saved. Android showed a message that a problem occurred during the upgrade process and I sent logs to Samsung, hoping that it will help them!
