When you first start the phone, it demands an internet connection and attempts to download an update. Has anyone managed to boot without updating?

I lost my previous phone and bought a clean used one, Droid MAXX. Came nice and working, 4.2.2, OTA 12.15.15.
I first used RockMyMoto (ADB, telnet) to root successfully. Then immediately proceeded to TitaniumBackup to batch-restore about 40-50 apps with data. Seemed to finish successfully on surface (didn't run all). Rebooted to settle all changes and -- bam, a problem! The phone gets stuck at the animated boot logo (red eye).
I forced to shut it down by holding the Power key, then tried to boot into Recovery -- reboots with no prompts and gets stuck at the same point again. After many attempts gave up and agreed to do a hard reset, chose Factory in boot menu -- again reboots with no prompts and gets stuck again.
I am desperate to get back to a workable phone and ok with starting over. Is it possible to get back to what I received -- un-rooted, factory reset device? Having spent all day with this, I am at a verge of buying another phone again... Cannot believe that this phone became useless. Thank you very, very much for your help!
Have you tried flashing it back to 12.15.15 using the fxz and RSD lite? Phone will try to update after boot up, just place the phone in airplane mode and WiFi off to prevent it wanting to update if you want to root. At very least what I do is make sure I postpone the install of the update for 23hr 59min till I get root and freeze the update apps.

Problem solved with House of Moto. Did a full restore to 12.15.15. Will root again but will be doing an incremental restoration of apps, as I'm afraid something didn't work well in the batch process.
I got a Moto G First generation (X1032) with lollipop 5.1
A few weeks ago I had the option to do a update, after I installed the update my phone was restarting and it now gets stuck in a bootloop. I can still come to the bootloader.
When I connect my phone to my computer it won't install, so I can't acces my phone.
My phone needs to startup in order to install it, but that's not possible because it will get in a bootloop.
My phone was rooted, but I fully unrooted it before I did the update.
Is there anyway to survive my phone? Already tried factory reset, but that won't do.
Thank you for your time.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
My guess is that you need to flash again the stock ROM.
You ended up into a bootloop because you may changed some system files, and for each update the installer is checking that.
There are two situations:
- The update process will went good but you will be stuck into a bootloop
- The update process will be interrupted directly from the recovery
Here is a good guide about how to get back to stock.
Good luck!
Hello fellow xda-ers,
I have a OnePlus One, but i cannot seem to update the phone.
What is the exact problem?
- there is a system update ready, so i download the update and it asks me to install and then it tries to reboot
- the phone shuts down and doesn't reboot, i have to manually turn the phone off which makes the update sequence stop.
- the phone tells me again theres a update, but it doesnt reboot after it shuts down.
- even just giving the phone the command to reboot, just shuts the phone off and the phone doesn't reboot.
What did i try?
- via oneplus toolkit (mac) i flashed it to stock default, but still the problem persists.
- i flashed a 5.1.1. firmware straight from cyanogen mod, but still the problem persists.
- i flashed a custom recovery (while unchecking the update cm recovery), but the problem still persists.
I don't know what to do... Anybody have advice? It would be much appreciated.
I am pretty aware of what to do and not to do, i have been flashing phones since the iPhone 3gs. But this is just odd.
I was having similar problem. Except mine was booting into the bootloader. From there I tried to manually install the update. It kept failing so I gave up. Then about a week later (today) I let it try to install and it seemed to be working, except when it finally booted back up, it had completely wiped my phone!!! Now I'm midway though reinstalling all my apps and it gives me the "There's an update available for you phone". So apparently it didn't even update in that process.
I've got the exact same problem here.
I've come across a problem that's frustrating me to no end. I've been rooting phones for a few years now, usually older models. A friend asked me to root his newly aquired S6 (canadian model, eh), shouldn't be an isssue. I do the standard issue Enable Developer, wipe data/cache, install root and rom, and call it a day. I go to reboot it, and it's in a boot loop for the Samsung screen. I've had boot loops occur before, I'll take care of it.
I've been at this all day (10+ hours), and still don't have a way to escape this boot loop. Problem is that I didn't know about the Reactivation Lock that was still active when I attempted to root. Here' what I've attempted:
- Uninstall/Reinstall USB drivers several times and different versions. Phone will still not show up under ADB Devices and not detected by windows or toolkits (but will still register via Odin).
- Restore from backup: will only boot into stock recovery mode, no option for restore.
- Reinstall Firmware via USB OTG - "USB access is disabled"
- Install other roms, always fail or are denied access
- Update/Change kernel , see above
I could list on and on all the little tricks and toips i've tried from the internet, but what it essentially comes down to is I can't install anything onto the device due to the device not being recognized or being blocked by a permission, and yet I can't get into the actual Android OS to disable/Enable any permissions. Factory reset does not fix this loop, nor does clearing caches. I've tried sideloading, pushing, and various other means to get into Android, but nothing is working. Help?
Hi, Please help! So on the final day of a 15 day Himalaya trek my phone downloaded and installed the November update. after this the phone would no longer boot just staying on the G loading screen. As I was in the mountains there was no WiFi so the photos hadn't been automatically backing up and I am unable to access them at all now.
Steps tried:
1) restarting device multiple times to access alternate boot (this didn't work).
2) sideload with latest OTA Image (this just did the same thing, stays on the loading screen)
3) Leave phone on loading screen (did this for over 48 hours no change)
4) Contact Google support (did this they said only fix was to factory reset the phone.... NOT HELPFUL!)
look into 3rd party application on windows and mac to access the internal storage (none could see the phone)
5) Unable to sideload a previous version of Android due to the boot loader being locked.
phone is not rooted and as unable to boot cant find a way to do it.
Only other thing I have found would be to do the reset and hope that one of the 3rd party apps will be able to retrieve the data once I can boot back into OS.
Or wait for another OTA Update and try that.
Any help greatly appreciated.
flash factory image but remove the -w
