Hey guys, I installed the latest Pac-Man Rom on my brand new Moto Q.. and now my phone is bricked. Stuck on boot animation. I tried to ADB but can't connect anymore... any tips?
Can you get to the recovery?

Yes, I can get to recovery.. and I got some new ADB driver to work. So I was able to sideload a different rom. However, it is also stuck in bootloop. Is there anything special that needs to be done, before a rom actually will work? or have I just had bad luck with the two roms I tried?
Third ROM was the charm, it is working now! Thanks!
Glad to hear you got it working!
I had the same problem, I tried infusion, then another ROM and both failed...it scared the life outta me that I may have bricked but good old paranoid android saved me :3

TF300t infinite reboot loop on asus screen after installing "THe ultra fast rom"
HI
I wanted to try out a new ROM for my TF300t. I ended up trying the ultra fast rom by surdu_petru. I did as he told, downloaded the 300 something mb file and copied it on to my device. I have bootloader unlocked, rooted and previously had CleanRom installed. I wiped cache and dalvik cache. Install took a while, but finally when it was done, i rebooted the device. It was stuck on the asus logo for a while, until it rebooted and so on and so on. There is NO use holding down the power button, it just keeps going. Iv tried power+volum+ and -. I am not very expirienced with this so i have no idea whats going on, its like an infinite boot loop.
I noticed something right after install that said unable to mount something..... I was in a hurry so i did not really care about it.
Any help would be apriciated.
EDIT!!
I feel like this thread is a bit messy, but here is where i am.
I am able to get into fastboot. I am also able to get into recover (TWRP). I have 1 backup of the official and stock 4.1.1. Should i install it, or should i try again the ultra fast ROM, as i am curious about why it failed. I also have my CleanROM.zip on my device. This is the first time something like this is happening to me, so im trying to learn from my mistakes ^^
EDIT, seems like i was not trying hard enough to get into fastboot, got in, just had to be quick enough. (PHEW) Now what?
Hi.
I'm stuck in the white asus logo. I don't know if it's the same problem you have, is it? I dont' know what to do

HI, if it keeps rebooting, hold down the power until it goes black, then release it. Quickly after hold down powerbutton+volum down. You should then be in fastboot. If you manage to get into fastboot, normally there should be no worries. As im kind of noob myself im not going to tell you what to do, as it might just make things worse. Try to wait for someone who knows this stuff to answer
Hey, thanks!
I already done that and I get to these 4 icons/options. The only thing I can do is going to Recovery mode (menu with options to install rom from zip, etç...) I can't do nothing more. Is this what you're saying? Can I just install a rom and it will work???

First off, what recovery are you using? (TWRP, CWM?) Secondly, have you made a backup of a working ROM that you have been using? If so, you should be able to get into recovery and flash it. (As i said, you SHOULD wait for some pros, im not very expirienced with this!!!!! and i might be wrong).

There is your problem! The ROM can only be installed using TWRP. I suggest you try out a ROM like the new Cyanogenmod 4.2, as it seems to only support CWM (i might be wrong).
Link for the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055430
Be sure to read CAREFULLY trough the description so you are sure that you have everything needed etc.
Good luck

Hmm. I just got the one I said installed. What do you mean by "The ROM can only be installed using TWRP"? At the moment, because I tought I bricked my tablet, I just want to put it as it came when I bought it but of course I'm open to try other ROM's.

The ROM you tried to install can only be installed using TWRP, not CWM recovery as you are using. Thats why (i think) you got stuck after install. I recommend you install TWRP, because as far as i know its better than CWM. Just go the developement section and you should find it there.
hello everyone,
i'm developing a game with unity and sometimes when i compile and inject the game on the phone it crashes and forces me to factory reset the phone through fastboot. i've done it like 3 times already with no problems.
but today it happened again and the phone just wouldnt recover, i've tried the fix that this video (youtube.com/watch?v=laU6NQ0LxR0) shows but it still does not boot.
I am able to enter fastboot and my computer recognizes the mobile phone so that's a great start :victory:
not sure what guide to follow since i'm not sure whether the problem is on the rom or something else.
can someone give me a tip on what fix should I try? cant really afford to lose my phone right now
it has (had) a stock rom 4.4.2 with stock bootloader, tho i tried to install the fix in the video i've said earlier and i'm not sure whether it changed the rom or not.
thanks

/Data gets corrupted
Even, I had the same issue. I tried flashing ROMs through recovery but it gave me error that/data/media/0/ can't be mounted. The only way to get out I found was to full format /data and /storage (philz recovery) and then to push ROM. zip to/sdcard through adb and then to flash it through recovery.
Hope it helps someone.:angel:
Problem resolved thanks to bweN diorD!

Hey everyone, I figured this was the right section to post a question, sorry if I was mistaken.
So I recently rooted my phone and tried to install a custom ROM on it, turns out the ROM I selected was probably for the wrong model or something because my screen was just black. So I booted into recovery to try and restore it on the ROM I backed up and it was gone so now I'm kinda ****ed on a phone for now, before I look into buying a new one I wanna see if there's any way I can resolve this and unbrick it.
When I turn the phone on it just loops the booting screen and when I boot into recovery it just has the droid dude with an exclamation mark on it then turns off and does the boot loop.
I was wondering if maybe there's a file I can put on an external drive and it will automatically restore back to stock like on other devices.
I've done a lot stuff like this to my PS3 just never tried it for my phone so I'm just hoping there's a method out there for me, please provide any feedback or questions about it, I'm just trying to get this resolved and I have no time really to research it because of work and a newborn baby plus you guys would know more about it than me so yeah. Thanks!

usually when you flash the wrong software to a phone it is toast, but you may be in luck as it still turns on.

further instruction here.
if that doesnt work... well its not good unfortunately.

Alright thank you! I'm pretty confident this will work, once the stock ROM file finishes downloading, which it doesn't seem that it wants to work. I've downloaded it 5 times now and every time it's done it's a fail.. I'll keep trying though.

This video helped me, I did the exact same thing a few months ago! Hope this helps, I know how frightening it is.

Hey, I got you. I had the exact same problem yesterday... It was infuriating.
So boot to TWRP, plug your phone into your computer, then in TWRP go to advanced and hit enable MTP. This should allow your computer to access the G3's files after you've connected it. If you can't, google for the LG PC drivers for your model (it's easy).
Here's the zip you need to place on your device:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/flash2/LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip
Then just flash it and you're golden!

@Jaison33056 Which OTA update caused the boot loop,the KitKat 4.4.2 D85010F or the one for Lollipop? If the one for Lollipop you may have inadvertently found a way to have a custom recovery installed with stock Lollipop firmware! Sorry if this is already general knowledge. Just got my D850 LG G3 and trying to learn all there is to have it running a custom recovery with a rooted stock Lollipop ROM ).

The OTA bootloop was caused by the 5.0 Lollipop update. After using the fix from citizen insane it was clear that I was still on 4.4.2 KitKat. The phone quickly attempted to force me to update to lollipop again, so again I was forced to use citizen insane fix again, with the addition of shutting off OTA updates after the fix was completed through the hidden menus in the phone app. Then I quickly flashed Cyanogenmod 12 nightlies to avoid the dreaded OTA update yet again! What a pain in the ass, but on the bright side I absolutely love CM 12! My phone has never performed better. Thanks for everyone's help on XDA!
Hey Jaison does your picture messaging work after flashing CM12? Mine stopped working but texting and phone calls still work.
so about a month ago i had my iconia rooted and somehow it got soft bricked (i cant remember how) and ive been trying to reflash to fix it. after a couple weeks i was finally able to make some progress and get it to boot up all the way to the language select BUT the touch screen doesnt work anymore so im stuck again. i know its a software issue because the thing is practically new. doesnt even have a scratch on it and ive been storing it in the original box when i didnt have time to work on it.
Rom i flashed is : Acer_AV052_A1-830_1.014.00_WW_GEN1_FLASHPKG.7z
if more information is needed i can see if i can access it somehow. If anyone knows about something i can try to fix it using fastboot or adb it would be much appreciated. ive tried all the post about soft bricks and the screen not working for this device but unfortunately it isnt that popular so there arent many threads on it.
thanks
