Beloved Uni wont start

Hi friends,
today it happened, my beloved universal wont start anymore.
Happend last week too, but after a hard reset and restoring a backup, I've lost only one day data.
It stucks at the boot screen, showing the WM6 boot logo - for ever.
I can switch it on and of - just the WM6 boot logo appears and disapears.
The Led is blinking green (with sim inserted), but it's not showing a call. Still showing just the boot logo.
Unfortunately I can not make a hard reset. Because I have lots of new data inside my little friend, which I could not backup in the last week - too busy.
What I tried:
- remove battery
- new battery
- lots of soft rests
- entering the hard reset menu - but pressing X for exit
ROM is thingonaspring. Radio 1.18
Is there anything I can do? Except a hard reset?
Thanks

Thanks guys, nothing worked, except installing a new ROM. Unfortunately my last week data is lost. But hey, my Uni is alive again

Same Situation
After two years of working fine, my T-Mobile MDA Pro refused to get past the boot screen. I didn't want to do a hard reset (and lose all of my program settings) and so sent the unit to PocketPCTechs for repair. Of course they did a hard reset anyway and reflashed the ROM with Mobile 6.1. I got the unit back and it worked for 8 hours, while I restored everything, and then the same thing happened: it freezes at sign-on screen. So, apparently, nothing was really repaired. Just curioius: is there a way to restore operating system files without losing all the other stuff I have on the device? Of course, most of my data and applications are on my SD card (thank goodness), and so I haven't lost any data. I do have a Sprite backup, but I've had problems with Sprite before and so prefer not to have to depend on it.
It just seems to me that there has to be a better way! If an operating system file gets corrupted, thereby preventing bootup, I should be able to fix that particular file only and not trash everything else.

[Q] Restart loop(not bootloop) - really weird

Hey lads,
I got a really weird problem and I've tried nearly everything I can think of. I had EMUI 2.3(b121sp06) and I tried the online OTA update to b307 if I remember right(was automatically suggesting the update) and at the update screen it loaded to about 99% and then stopped. Said not to press power while on this screen but obviously it wasn't going to finish. So I reset the phone and it started the "recovery loop", so basically keep trying to apply the update. I had to flash CWM to break out and flashed the whole system by hand(recovery,system,boot,cache,cust and userdata img files) and it starts up but it keeps resetting and seemingly it's random. Android boots up, I don't touch the phone--> boom reset. Weird thing is it even does it in recovery.
If I really want to explain the problem it's like as if my finger got stuck on the power button(that naturally made me think that the button might be f*cked), but booting into fastboot and not having resets cleared my suspicion. What I also noticed is that every time it boots up it doesn't recognize the sim card and I have no signal or whatsoever.
Tried multi tool unbricking method -> doesn't work
Tried factory reset from stock recovery(had to be fast so it doesn't reset before) ->doesn't work
Tried wiping dalvik cache and factory reset from CWM ->doesn't work
Tried killing battery by letting it keep resetting -> battery drained, reset loop stopped ->put the phone on charger->reset loop started again
I have no f*cking clue how can I get out of this, will keep trying though. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi
Did you try to remove the Sd Card ? Honor 6 reboot is often due to faulty SD Card.
Which model do you have ? L04 ?
B307 upgrade sure ?
Seb

Yes, that was my first idea, still does it though. I have the L02 and I'm not positive it was b307, but it started with 3, could be b303 if there is one.

I don't know for L02 but for L04 there is a Full ROM that you can flash with the three buttons method. (Vol+,Vol-, power and put the ROM in /dload folder on the SD card).
Maybe there is such thing for L02 ?

There is, but as I said the phone restarts even in recovery. It's like the phone restarts every 30 secs except for fastboot.

if it's not SD card or internal flash problem so, it seems to be hardware related to me (

Would make sense but it occurred only after I tried OTA. Would be really surprised if that killed that hardware :-/

Its might be a battery problem Or power flex cable. Try to turn on the phone during charge

guys im facing the same problem now... waiting for any solutions

I have tried stop & uninstall some app
I've tried as quickly as I can when the phone (nokia x) is on, then I stop> uninstall I consider potentially cause this problem (facebook, whatsapp, uc browser) and then it managed to prevent the continuous restarts. but problems arise even though the application had me uninstall and then I restart the phone. and it is back again, I uninstalled the app that has remained with the error settings and restart repeatedly. who knows what else : '(

Did you follow the guide here?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

In the past my battery lost it's endurance pretty much. Furthermore I've read that a defective battery causes lots of weird behaviours on our Honor 6, which was the same to mine.
In my case a replacement of the battery worked well, to get my Honor 6 back to life:

It's not that difficult and lasts approx. 30-45 mins. Spare Batteries are available for 6 - 10 bucks on ebay or directly from the chinese internet stores.

S6 (SM-G920W8) Sent for Warranty

I have sent my S6 in for warranty if anyone would like to know anything about how my experience is with samsung let me know.
Yesterday my S6 froze and started boot loop couldn't access the stock recovery I wasn't able to power down the device so I had to let it die. I was only able to get to download mode knox wasn't tripped. After hours and hours trying to fix the phone I was able to get kies to install the stock firmware to the device after everything was done no errors the phone restarted and no matter what it still didn't boot still couldn't access recovery or power down the device. What I did notice though in download mode Odin said "System Status: Custom" But the Binery is still "Samsung Offical" it had changed after I tried to save the device with kies. I am unsure if "System Status: Custom" will effect my warranty.

if you can get it back into download mode, then look for the knox code and if it changes from 0 to 1 or says 0x10000 instead od 0x0000 or anything changes besides 0 (0x000) your phone has identified that the system was faulted by the flash and therefore your warranty is now void because the knox security system has changed from the original setting. If it says custom most likely it has detected as well that the system was flipped but because you said it still says samsung official they may let it slide. But im not sure what that means i believe is that the phone is an official samsung and that the flash was an official samsung code but it wasnt the original code on the phone. Sometimes a flash on the phone will change the imei so that could mean why the phone is now custom, More than likely though the repair person will have to flash your system anyway and if that doesnt work then your motherboard isnt being read by NAND and you probably need a replacement, i have been up solving mine and calling eveyr technincian store, repair person, and customer service since my phone did what yours did about 3am this morning. Ive got no sleep had about 3break downs and sadly i think it needs to just be professionally checked. My NAND keeps getting a write fail and nothing is passing over to my phone. i can still get into the recovery mode to perform factory resets and cache wipes but it says dm-veridity verification failed and even after multiple factory resets and cache wipes and accidentally hitting the adb button it has led me no where but a continous boot. My phone is only 12days old. Samsung will cover it because i didnt knock my warranty or show evident of any faulting with the OS. The phone had done a update to a new firmware and once that finished i did a factory reset from the phone settings and when i went back to wipe the cache the phone shut down and since then hasnt been able to go past the logo SAMSUNG GALAXY s6 screen powered by android. So as upset and dissastisfied as i am with the phone, i definately appreciate all the youtube videos, forums, repair technicians, and customer service advice i got today. I have definately learned more than i needed to know lol and downloaded about every type of odin available and both firmwares for the lollipop 5.1.1. for samsung galaxy and the original 5.02 the 5.02 got the farthest in download until it shut down because of the written fail and then again because of COM port, but the other one didnt even get past system configuration so i guess something needs to be looked at immediately. If you know anything please do respond back to this message before i send mine off thanks a bunch lovelies:good::good:
my phone is a samgun galaxy s6 with model SM-G290P (sprint), i was originally on android 5.02 i guess but i got the phone activated in stores so when it was given to me from the moment i had it i was on 5.1.1. , i also noticed that my phone goes through odin mode easily but wont connect to the computer i have installed the smart switch, uninstalled after it failed to work with kies, i have installed the mobile drive individually and it picked it up on odin but wont pick it up on smart switch. I do know that if i can locate my s/n number then i can just plug it into smart switch to do the factory flash but i cant locate the s/n number being my phone is turned off. i tried the DEC,HEX AKA IMEI, ICC ID, RS UNDER THE BARCODE, AND none of these codes seem to be a valid s/n number. if someone could assist me with that i would be TREMENDOUSLY GREATFULLLLL!!! ALSO BEFORE i could just click my power button once and the phone would come on now i have to slightly hold it a few second for it to even show the logo.i have also noticed that if i charge my phone the phone loops otherwise if i go to download and cancel and then power on the device manually then it shows the logo once and then shuts off. so hurt you guys!

ALSO WHEN MY PHONE IS OFF I CAN SEE THE BATTERY IS CHARGING RIGHT NOW IT IS AT 82%, sorry for the caps i was typing and reading the phone. On the recovery mode update using ADB is disabled apparently and so is the option to update using external storage the apply update from cache is deprecated too and also when i started having a problem when i hit the power button home button and the volume up it showed the little android man died now it shows he is ok and up right like normal but the dm-verity verification failed still , I AM ABLE TO SEE EVERY LOG IVE RECREATED IN RECOVERY UP UNTILT EH VERY FIRST CACEH WIPE I DID THE DAY AFTER I RECIEVED THE PHONE. IS THERE A WAY I CAN TAKE THE IMAGE OR INFO FROM THIS TO REFLASH THE PHONE MAYBE?!!?!?:highfive:

Have patience. Your S6 willbe fixed soon by Samsung.

Softbricked G Flex 2 freezing at start. Boots but unable to start.

Hi everyone.
I have an LG G Flex 2 (H955) that suddenly went on a fritz. It used to be rooted fine, it was on default firmware, 10 something (wouldn't OTA due to rooting), no issues, but as I am a heavy user, enabled multiuser, had a bunch of apps installed and running it started to slow down on occasion, but nothing unexpected. Anyway, few days back, it shut down on its own while I was typing a message and the phone entered bootloop - on it's own. I decided to cut my losses and did the factory reset the hardware way, it booted up, did the "optimizing apps thing", got to welcome screen and - froze - then just restarted. It's been doing that ever since. Sometimes it boots all the way and then freezes and starts, sometimes it gets stuck on LG logo, sometimes even boots and works for a minute or two but still freezes and reboots.
I can access Download mode, and HW factory reset. I flashed several stock ROMs I found with LG flash tool 2014. It goes without a hitch, boots up, again gets to the welcome screen and reboots. I tried to to the dd cmd way to flash the only system.img I found online, but I get a security error at boot. It gets fixed when I flash the stock ROM again with flash tool. I am at my wits end. I have no warranty, I have no backed up original dump. With my limited knowledge I have somewhat of a hunch that one of the partitions might be corrupted as it boots most of the time but as it tries to write or read something from somewhere (hence showing the Welcome screen) it dies.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to what I might try next, or had a similar experience?
Thank you all very much in advance for any help.

Have you tried this tool with the appropriate image?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/p-restore-recovery-to-stock-tool-h950-t3171550

Hi and thanks for the tip. However, no, I have not tried this method as my device is H955, International version, and I am not keen on messing up the phone worse then it already is.
I will look it up in more detail, but as far as I can see it only pertains to the H950 (ATT version)
Edit: I looked it up in detail, and the developer removed the H955 support as there is a KDZ for it and he claims the .kdz is a much better option - however - .kdz does not work for me. It flashes the rom all right, both in Normal and CSE Flash modes, but the problem persists. Turns on (if I'm lucky), freezes, reboots and so on.

D'oh, didn't see the H955 part. :-|
Sorry to hear you are still stuck, can't offer much more unfortunately.

I know one of the flashing modes does a reset, but maybe a reset after the flash might help.. i think it's, from powred off, down plus power until the lg logo then release and then hold power on its own until you get to a recovery screen where you can reset.
you probably already tried that I'm guessing though. taken memory card out if you're using one?

Hi and thanks for yet another tip. However, you guessed right - I tried everything - reset from the recovery, before the flash, after the flash, in the middle of flash, with memory card, without memory card, tons of times - you name it, I've tried it. And still, it boots up (sometimes, though), freezes and go bye-bye. I'm completely out of ideas. If I could somehow rebuild partitions from Download mode, or use ADB, or push some image I found and flash it directly, but there is no way to push files to phone in Download mode (and 5.1.1. disabled external memory, so that is out of the option too).
It seems I'm stuck for now. I'm wondering if the repair guys have some tricks up their sleeves, perhaps with those hardware boxes, jtag something or other...

im on same boat with h955p, any solution?

the battery is the problem 100%. i had the same problem and i managed to fix it with buying a new battery and replacing it. 10$ on aliexpress plus you get the tools and it is really easy to replace.

hi. i was stuck in this situation. you can reflash the original stock rom back from LG UP software. at me this was the problem. my friend have a korean model and at him the 4g data connection was the problem...i was on the update of the marshmellow and freeze and reboot...factory reset didn't do something cool and keeps rebooting...but i was smart and lucky and my brain was thinking at the reflash of the phone...so i was to the reflash so my phone was completely and fully functional...no freeze , no reboot...and look for the v20a italy firmware (stock rom)...i say this because this v20a italy rom is so f***in stable and no battery drain...better than other stock rom marshmellow. Thanks me later.

IS IT WORTH IT?? having tablet repaired. PLEASE HELP :-/

Hey all. I'm trying to salvage my mother's Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113.
U.S. market Tab 2 GT-P5113 with original factory ROM started intermittently bootlooping. At times would successfully boot and operate briefly but then reboot on it's own. Executed wipe process a few times but completed without success. Odin flash completes successfully on most attempts. STILL just BOOTLOOPS! Looking for a reputable service center to replace the memory.
It's been suggested that the 16 GB Tab 2 have a known faulty EMMC (MAG2GA) issue. It can happen, that your EMMC get “read only”, so you can’t perform any write actions or format anymore.
From the EMMC data sheet:
5.1.7 End of Life Management:
The end of device lifetime is defined when there is no more available reserved block for bad block management in the device. When the device reaches to end of its life time, device shall change its state to permanent write protection state. In this case, write operation is not allowed any more but read operation are still allowed.
But, reliability of the operation can not be guaranteed after end of life.
On a faulty EMMC firmware it happens a lot faster.
What are the symptoms?
Uninstalled apps and deleted files are back after a reboot
Formating the storage doesn’t work (after reboot the old rom and apps are back)
You can flash whatever you like via Odin - it shows “passed” but after reboot nothing changed (e.g. still no StockRom or still the old Recovery you had previously installed)
… there might be some more, but only to mention some …
In most cases, the issue can be fixed by a EMMC firmware update, but you need someone who’s able to do it (possible via ISP, nothing you can do easily at home yourself). In some bad cases you need to find someone who can replace your EMMC.
