*HELP* Android stuck on reboot cycle and Recovery not working

Hi,
Not long ago I upgraded my phone over the air for the first time and installed android 2.3 and it was taking for ever and the phone died and the battery was taken a few times during the process. A few days after my started acting weird. Now its stuck on a reboot cycle. It will load, and it will be normal for a few seconds (max 20s) then it reboots again and it keeps going into that cycle.
I tried to go into recovery and perform a factory reset but the volume controls are not working. Please help because at the moment I don't have a phone.
Thanks!

Go to the forum specific to your phone model. You'd be helped quicker there. If there isn't one post your phones model here and you may need to flash to stock firmware with a tool made for your phone.

Ohok. Thanks.

ITs BRIcked

how do i unbrick it?

try sending it in service.. although I guess you've already lost you warranty..

Yea. I bought my phone used off ebay. Please help because I really need a phone.

Its an HTC G2 slide if that helps.

Thanks, but I tried this process but when i type "adb devices" no devices are listed. And when I continue to try to run the adb command, it says devices not found.

That's right. Flash it again. Lately I tried to upgrade my friend's phone to gingerbread, but failed. It was bricked. But I flashed it again using newer odin 4.38, and now it's normal and upgraded to gingerbread.

i cant get into recovery mode. its frozen.

I don't know much about the g2 but can you boot into the bootloader? if so just flash a new recovery with fastboot. Then reflash your firmware in recovery.

I'm having the same problem with my LG Apex. Seems like there's no forums that help with "unbricking" my phone. I suppose it's a less popular model and doesn't have as much support. Last had Froyo 2.2.2 on it. Just using it to play around with/ learn about android and use the 802.11n @ the house. Didn't even have it a week before I started to have issues; then THIS happens. Anyway, hope someone can help me.

(Q) How To Correct Corrupted/Faulty DATA Partition on P6800?

Hello..
I'm getting ERROR message everytime I try to enter the recovery mood. Its happened 2 days ago. I've tried to flash the stock ROM for several times and hoping that could correct this issue. Unfortunately, that couldn't help and leaving me dissapointed.
I noticed this issue for the first time when my device cannot process the command line "Updating BLA BLA..." during entering the recovery mood. Its stop there and nothing is happened for about more than 5 minutes until I forced it to shutdown by long pressing the power button. Then, I tried to enter the recovery mood for the second time. You guys know what happened to my device?
I predict that situation is okay until when I try to WIPE all data and encountered an error message with the red text asking me to 'use UI to format system and reboot'.
But, I still don't know what to do. I'm hoping that you guys with kind hearted to please do help me. Thanks in advance.
One more thing, please teach me how to make this flash counter mark (!) disapear......... THANKS.

Mind was replaced new mainboard.
If you cannot, I recommend you read Samsung note forum. There are thread about 'parted' command to repartition to skip bad block. Mind was success to skip and boot but lost a lot of gigabyte.

Thanks for replying to my question.. Will read the forum for sure.. Thank you.

Recently I faced the similar problem twice. The 1st time was using ODIN to flash the latest CWM and then format the DATA folder through the advance setting... solved the problem...
2 days ago, I faced the same problem again and the solution above won't help at all. I use the ODIN flashed the original Samsung firmware and do reset to default through the original recovery and it works. But I lost all my internal data in the internal memory.
So, you could try the suggestion above if it helps. Just the 2nd one WILL DELETE ALL DATA and it is UNRECOVERABLE. So you been warned. Don't blame me if you lost your multi-billion project file.

*Question: I'm using Odin 3 v1.85. Is only the Odin 3 v1.70 could correct the problem?

there's another thread with this problem in 'general' will edit with link momentarily. i'm having the /data format/mount error, and i'm afraid to try flashing ICS with a previous ODIN version as i CANNOT afford to loose this device.. from what i understand... THIS is the superbrick bug.... and with no warranty for customers in the US.... ugghhh..

There is a way to fix it . You need to bet it JTAG ed . I cant vouch for the guy but there is someone
On XDA that does offer that service . I dont have the link right now but do a search and you can find
It I hope . I will look for the link later . Dont give up there is hope .

You must have installed the cm10.1 using kexec kernel... So which is your phone version???...there's at&t ,Asia retail ...depending on that you have to flash the correct firmware ...or you will brick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874
This is the firmware thread... You have probably downloaded the wrong firmware...or you may have not flashed it correctly... Just try again...This is how to flash...

Make sure your drivers are updated ...and you have RSD lite 5.6 or higher... you should be fine..

So if I remember right, you shouldn't need to load the bootstrap over a custom rom because you will get a boot loop. Which it sounds like you might have. If that's the case it might be easier to fxz back to stock and retry with out the bootstrap.

[Q] Stuck in ''entering recovery...'' htc one s

What's up everybody! This is my first post here and I am what you would call a noob!
First of all I got tired of the 4.2.2 jb upgrade never coming to my htc one s and decided to give cyanogenmod 10.1 a shot (my first attempt ever tampering with mobile software)!
So I have unlocked the bootloader on my phone following a guide. It now says ''unlocked''
After that, I have tried to flash the paul recovery.img from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 .
I have done it through adb with the command promt as it says on the article above!
The command promt apparently managed to do the job and it said ''finished'' as it should!
Then i rebooted the phone into recovery mode through the bootloader menu but it then stucks there doing nothing...I have left it for 5 minutes and it was still like that and i thought that the recovery wasn't succesful (i ve seen it going very fast at the clockworkmod menu at videos on youtube while mine was stuck). I then rebooted it by holding down the power button and it went to the sence screen normally.
Then i have tried the other recovery img described at the article...Same thing happened...Then the other one! Same thing again!
Every time i am trying to flash the recovery image the phone stucks in ''entering recovery...'' screen, doing nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, it will be much appreciated! I really want to dig custom roms...I' m a total geek
Thanks in advance!!

To boot into recovery, Hold VolumeDown + Power.
Edit: maybe you've done that, but make sure that you choose the correct recovery version. that is, match the version of your phone S3/S4 with the recovery.
Specific recovery for specific phone.

Can you tell me where i can find the right recovery for my S3 model?

Have the same problem (HTC one at&t) and that link he has that I clicked gives you a page of LIKE A WHOLE LIST of versions.. How do you know which one to choose?
plus spent all night trying to download the recovery.img from clockworkmod.com as well as other links and all I get is this LONG encrypted script page displayed, and not an actual FILE that prompts you to download. going crazy here!

The link works, i ve managed to do it but twrp is useless if you want to flash any roms...I have tried every known version of cm for htc one s and I can't flash any of them in my phone through the twrp recovery...Always fails for no apparent reason! If you want my advise, do not waste your time, cause it's almost certain that ig you flash any custom rom, you will loose the advantages of htc sense, including the camera performance and special effects and also the beautiful widgets...If anyone though knows how to flash a REALLY nice rom with twrp we will be glad to hear his/her suggestions!

sad part is I'm not going for anything fancy.. When I bought the phone (last week) it had version 4.1 on there and all I want to do is upgrade it to 4.2... and no it's NOT available through AT&T in anyways what's so ever.. hence the flash recovery chaos.
If no one response with a solid solution, then I'm just gonna let it be like you said.

By the way, TWRP recovery has been the most successful one with The One S.
Google twrp and Download it for VILLE (THE S4 MODEL HTC ONE S) and then flash it.

U sound like you're flapping for nothing and just haven't been reading the right threads. U don't want recovery. You want to be in the bootloader. Then look for @rootSU 's thread on fastboot

If you can get into the bootloader, you can flash a factory image and return to stock.

Have you tried flashing Recovery through Fastboot? If you are not able to then I guess, the only choice you have is to try to use an factory image as the previous post mentions.
