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.
1080xt rooted 12.15.15
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 tried to update my XYboard 10.1 yesterday that I bought used with an OTA update. I am guessing it was the 4.1 update because it was on ICS prior to the update. It failed during the update, and it loaded into the "dual core" screen, then went black with the backlight on and didn't boot.
I tried a one click method to reflash Honeycomb back to the device, but no matter what I do, it won't finish flashing. I tried redownloading the files, and no change. The first time it froze flashing "bootloader", I tried a few more times and it didn't work. So I downloaded a different set of fastboot files and tried to flash them, and now it's stuck flashing "radio". I have let it sit for a half hour and it won't flash past that.
I am not sure how messed up this tablet is but I am stuck, can anyone help me get ANY operating system on this thing so it is at least useable? it is not rooted, I can flash to it but everything I have tried fails. Tried factory reset and cleared cache through recovery and that didn't work, and now I can't even access recovery. Right now all I can access is fastboot flash mode.
I bought this for my girlfriend and I am giving it to her tomorrow and I can't get this freaking thing to work.
- A few days ago my phone freezes while I am using it, and its stuck on the google screen. at this point, it's on 5.0.1 unrooted, unlocked bootloader.
- I try going into recovery and wiping cache and doing factory reset. I keep getting errors but eventually the wipes work. Still doesn't boot though. So I do this a few times. I got it to boot twice but both times it froze within 5 mins and back to the same thing.
- I fastboot 5.0.1 factory image, goes through. but still no dice - stuck on google boot screen.
- I research and find out about the infamous power button problem. it doesn't seem like thats the issue with mine because the buttons seem to work fine. whatever, i take it to a local repair shop (phone is out of warranty) and the next day they inform me that there is no physical issue and that their software reset worked. they used the LG factory firmware way of resetting the device.
- Got the device back, used it for a while. It was fine for the time being but it was on 4.4.3 and I got the 4.4.4 update. I go and unlock bootloader, flash 5.0.1 factory image and push TWRP+root.
- Doesn't boot again, stuck on google logo
- I tried a whole bunch of stuff and nothing worked. I ended up with flashing 4.4.3 factory image in fastboot and relocking the bootloader so I could take it back to the shop the next day. At this point the phone wasn't even turning on.
- The next day (today), I tried turning it on, nothing. I put it in the charger for a while, then turned it on.... and it booted! used it for a while, it's fine.
- Did 4.4.4 system update, it's fine.
- Unlocked bootloader, it's fine.
- Tried to flash 5.0.1 factory image and again same issue - stuck on google screen.
- Been dicking around the last few hours trying to fix it ended with flashing 4.4.3 again but same issue, I then put the phone into download mode and connect to the computer but I got a green screen something about DemiGod Watchdog HW reset. I did the reset.
- Phone booted up again! Did the 4.4.4 system update and then it started freezing and rebooting withing few seconds of use. Now it's back to being stuck on google screen.
- I am obvious gonna bring it back to the shop now but any idea as to what is happening here?

1.I presume the "DemiGod Watchdog HW reset" green screen came up after you gave the phone for HW servicing? If so then they could have knocked around the parts a bit to cause a hardware issue(not sure what causes it)
2.Check the MD5 of the 5.0.1 factory image.
3.Instead of factory image use the OTA zip file and flash in stock recovery.
So I used the LG tool myself to flash the firmware (4.4.3 is the only one available) and it worked fine. Updated to 4.4.4. Fine.
I then adb sideload the 4.4.4 - 5.0.1, and stuck on google logo again .................im pulling my hair out this is so weird.

1) yes this was after.
2)i tried adb sideload.. ill try that good idea.
can't flash ota.zip in recovery. only adb and that didn't work.
think i'm just gonna hang on to 4.4.4 then for now. tried everything.
Just an update. I was running 4.4.4 just fine but the phone froze and went back to the Google screen again.

Might as well rma
Hey XDA,
I have a D800 that is totally stock. I have no custom recovery, and have never rooted the device.
A couple days ago I got the notification for an OTA update. I hit the notification, and rebooted the phone. It started the update process. It got through the first step. When it started the second part of the update, a black box popped up, and a code like "ERR 0x04ff" or something like that popped up. The phone rebooted, and got stuck in a boot loop with a "Security Error." The phone will boot up, show the LG logo, then show a slightly different LG logo with "Security Error" underneath it, then reboot and start the process over. I started messing around with the power button and volume keys to see what different modes I could boot it into. Initially I could boot it to the Factory data reset screen, the Hardware Mode Keys screen, and I got it into Download mode once. I didn't have any of the software or files available at the time to do anything with Download mode, so I opted to try a Factory reset. The phone attempted a Factory Reset. The little android with wiggly ears, and the spinny cube thingy popped up for about 4 seconds, and the phone rebooted.
Since trying that initial Factory Reset, I have been unable to get the phone into Download mode. I've tried doing the Factory Reset multiple times to no avail. I have not seen fastboot at all.
At this point, the only thing I can do with the phone is boot it to the Factory Data Reset screen, and to the Hardware Keys Mode screen. It will not do a factory reset. The android pops up for about 1-2 seconds, and the phone reboots, and goes right back to the boot loop with the security error.
I'm at a loss at this point. I've called AT&T, and unfortunately my phone is out of warranty by about 3 weeks. So they can't just mail me a replacement. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to get it to be recognized by my PC, on Windows or Ubuntu. I get the feeling that it's just hard bricked, and there really isn't anything else I can try.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
TL-DR: Totally stock D800, no custom recovery or root. Security Error Boot Loop after OTA attempt. No download mode or fastboot, factory reset is ineffective. Not recognized by PC. What do I do now?

Thanks for the reply. I was about to reply saying my phone wouldn't go into download mode, but then I randomly decided to use a different usb port, and now it went into download mode.
I'll give it a shot now and see what i can do
Ok, It seems I'm back up and running. I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 which re-flashed me to 4.2.2. I'm going to try and upgrade using LG PC Suite from my laptop, and see if I have better luck this time.
Lesson learned, try every USB port when trying to boot into download mode.
Thanks for the help
Ok, so I think I may have finally killed one of my S2 Skyrockets.
I attempted to use the factory reset function from within Candy 5.1.1. However, on reboot the phone entered TWRP, or rather tried. Instead of booting into the recovery, it just kept restarting over and over again. I couldn't get it to boot into the OS or TWRP.
Thinking I had just soft-bricked it, I went into ODIN mode and uploaded a full restore image. Now I don't get stuck in a TWRP bootloop, I am stuck in a different bootloot. I see "Rethink Possible" go black, wait a few seconds, then it restarts again. I have pulled the battery out several times, attempted to boot into recovery (where I get the original TWRP bootloop) etc.
Is there any way to recover this device, or am I hosed?
[UPDATE]
Ok, this was one of the scarier things I've run into, but I recovered the phone. I used the sammobile version of the UCMC1 image (which blows away everything). This didn't reboot, it just hung. However, I was able to get into 3e (the stock recovery) and do a factory reset. THAT got me past the block. I'm now in the process of putting TWRP back on along with Candy.
Apparently you REALLY don't want to screw with the factory reset function...
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!
