[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.

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.

Weird Softbrick/Bootlooping!

Hey guys, I need your help.
My phone was all ok when I slept last night! (I have Purumod v3) I wake up in the morning and the phone was off. when I switched it on,it started bootlooping!(shows only samsung logo)
I tried reflashing it,but the bootlooping seems to persist EVEN when im trying to use the recovery(after the flash when I need to wipe data).If I go to recovery,just when Im about to reach the "wipe all data",it switches off and reboots. I thought its a hardware problem but there is one thing that goes against it ie., the phone does NOT show this behaviour when its in Download mode. when Im in download mode,it doesnt reboot or switch off or anything.
I tried going back to stock(a froyo rom without bootloader) but problem still remains. Tried flashing many different custom roms,still remains the same.
Any idea? Reinstalled Kies drivers and everything. Please help.

Have you tried flashing another kernel or reflashing your current one?
Since the kernel handles boot and recovery while download mode is on a lower level.

Try to find something called "zero fill tar" I think Hillbeast made? its like a deep cleanser, if it is a firmware issue, this should help. flash it then flash any rom over it.

Try flashing this tar file. It's saved my phone many times and here is the file that ava.tar is talking about. For the second file, you have to extract it and you get a .tar file that you flash through odin. :good:

I tried each of the things in your replies. I tried the 0kb file,did nothing,tried the zero fill followed by flashing Kyrillos Rom (froyo) still the same result(bootloop). Also flashed g3mod 2.4.1! this is just so annoying. Thanks so much for your help. I really hope my I could find a way.

Try flashing a rom with 'force upload mode' [vol up+home and power up]

Try flashing the tar after flashing the rom, ie. flash it last

Im sorry if Im being annoying but I'll try any options I can get!
Thanks again

Some more suggestions, which are not very likely (not in order of probability of success but in order of quickness), but it doesnt hurt to try
1. Try booting/ entering recivery while charging
2. Try removing sd card (and then sim card as well) then booting
3. Try flashing a stock rom (then try doing a factory reset from stock recovery)
4. If you know somebody with the same phone try using their battery and then booting.
(5. When you lose all hope try the russian/old school methdod, ie. beat it into complying to your wishes )

boot loop causes and hw to work around
hey
boot loops are a cause of ur kernal not working properly.....,try downloading a working kernal through odin........even i had boot loop problems with g3mod kernal.......but the ultra oc kernal 1260hr kernal works fine fr me........also try clearing the dalvik cache or cache partition..,..which usually solves stability problems nd its a must after flashing a kernal.......try flashing marcellusbe 7.2 rom.....which is very much stable u can also find a bunch of kêrnals try nt using the g3 mod kernal.... if all these dosent work take ur mob to the service center they wont flash it as u rooted ur mob bt they will suggest u to get new motherboard get it done and then u can start frm the beginning .......

[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.

[Q] Samsung Tab 2 10.1 P5110 Not Turning On At All

Hi,
I installed a new ROM for my Samsung yesterday evening (For anyone who wants to see - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461009)
It worked absolutely fine for the first few hours, and I noticed a huge speed improvement and it all just felt great, but as soon as I went to sleep, I left the tablet turned on throughout the night, as I came back to go on it, I noticed that it was turned off, so I powered it on, it just froze at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" logo screen, and nothing happened, so my next thought was to put it into recovery mode and try to fix the problem, again, same thing happened, so I rebooted it anyway, but this time, nothing is showing, I left the tablet to charge for 6 hours (To see if I had drained the battery) and still nothing, it does not respond to any events (Charging, Power buttons), I would like to know if I could fix this as I use my tablet for my studies and its a huge part of my daily routine, any help is greatly appreciated and I will try to reply as much as possible!
Thanks in advance,

P.S - If I make any mistakes in this post please do not hesitate to tell me as this is my first post

bro no need to worry we are here
first tell me that before flashing this rom did you wipe cache partition , factory reset ,wipe dalvik cache cos these things are important for a clean flashing of any rom
also try these things now
first just try wipe cache partition in recovery then see if you are able to boot or not
if still no good then try all that i have mentioned
if still no good try reflashing stock rom from odin
good luck

soft bricked my s6 . need help on how to proceed

Hi,im a total noob so please bear with me. ive soft bricked my phone and now unsure how to proceed.i can get download mode and i can get into twrp but not sure which option to use from there. any help appreciated .
thanks

Uhm, first of all how did you softbrick it?
Also try the steps in this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
Make sure you get the appropriate stock firmware from Sammobiles

i was trying to install the twrp app. all went ok until it went to reboot and now the samsung logo comes up but then disapears and i get a solid blue light top left.

I assume your phone is rooted? Did you try using Flashify? I'm also new to this xD my S6 never had problems with twrp till now, so don't really know how to help here. Sorry :/
Or you can try reflashing TWRP and clearing cache before rebooting to system, idk, might help
