So I f*cked up really bad here. I had the unlocked bootloader message, so I decided to fix it. Unbeknownst to me, the logo that I replaced was for Moto G. I have unlocked and rooted the phone to CM11 and I have TWRP on the phone.

Now my phone won't turn on or anything. Please help
Edit- I managed to access the fastboot menu by holding power and vol up. And I've applied the correct logo.bin. Now the M symbol is there, but it will stay frozen.
New logo used-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980139
Edit2* After restarting the phone and leaving the symbol there for an abnormally long time, the phone started to work again . Not sure if the long symbol time will stay, I use TWRP and reflashed the phone to CM11 so it's currently reinstalling. Will update soon!
Edit3* There is a lag between the logo to the boot up animation. Is there anyway to fix this?
Edit 4* The lag was actually always there, a Fido symbol just took up it's place
You might want to wipe dalvik and cache to be safe.
Flashing a boot image won't brick your phone. It's just an animated gif file, nothing else. It doesn't overwrite any system files, other than the original boot image.
Glad you got it working.
LOL, you really had unnecessary adventure. Thx for diary

After updating to Jelly Jean I've decided to wipe the phone in order to start clean and that's when everything started.
After wiping the phone it just didn't turn on automatically and everytime I've tried to do it I ended up on an Android animation, the same we get when we update the system, and anything happens, the animation goes away and the screen gets black.
So I've searched and found a way to get into the boot options and selected "Normal Boot" and everything seemed to be fine, but then I went out of baterry and after a full charge the Android animation came back. I did all the boot thing over again and now everytime I have to restart the phone I have to boot manually.
Can you guys help me?
Had exactly the same pub when I upgraded from its to job ota... And it's not the first time I read about this here. The only stable fix for me was to download rsd lite + the full firmware and to flash it through fast boot mode. This definitely looks like a corrupted upgrade.
I'm gonna send it back to Moto. Thanks for helping.
I was having terrible GPS reception and I tried the antenna fix- sliding a tiny peace of thick paper under the antenna connectors:

After powering up the phone booted once, then rebooted after couple of seconds and has been bootlooping on Google logo since.
- Takes much more time than normally to power on, then falls into Google logo bootloop,
- Cannot go into bootloader, power + vol buttond doesn't do a thing,
- If I hold vol up + vol down while bootlooping it powers off,
- Plugging in doesn't change anything, no charging indicator when powered off.
Is there anything I can do ?
Did I kill my phone ? If so, how ? What could I have damaged by simply prying the cover open ?
Are all the connections secure?
I checked all the connectors, they're ok.
After a day or so the phone got back to the living- I was able to boot and play around for a while.
Then I tried to update (I got the Lolipop OTA), which failed...
Downloaded the factory image and the flash attempt always gets stuck at " sending 'system'"...
Bootloader, radio, recovery, boot, everything gets flashed, then it gets stuck at flashing "system".
Any ideas ?
EDIT:
Flashed 4.4.4 in NRT without any problems, boots normally, still cannot flash Lolipop ...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Might need to wait for 5.1
5.0 is buggy
I was trying to update my recovery, TWRP 2.7 or something, to the newest version through the TWRP Manager app and I did that, or so I thought, and rebooted the device. Now it gets to the white screen where it says rebooting recovery in pink text but nothing happens, reboot it, same thing. I can tell that it is in recovery because I can feel the vibrations of the buttons when I press them, like the home and back buttons in the bottom corners, it is just that the white HTC logo screen is still overtop of it. Tried sideloading CWM but got an error so not sure if I did it right, can't really show any pictures though. Any suggestions?
**I am rooted, s-off, unlocked ****I have an SD card in it if that would help with any specific processes
I am very angry as I don't have the money to go out and just purchase a new phone I really hope there is something I can do, because things like this have happened before but I have been able to fix them within an Hour and it has been 3 hours now :/
Is there any way to keep it from rebooting by itself? Can I factory reset it through ADB?
This is me story, flashed a OTA to my cel and all the sudden my phone reboots loads up to the Oneplus logo and then nothing... Boot loop, so trying not to worry that much, noticed I could still boot to fastboot, I tried flashing CM11 praying that would get my phone back... Boot loop, Flashed CM12 and I got a low battery message boot loop, then going back to fastboot just got me a qualcomm brick, used the Color Os fix... Yay no more qualcomm brick but phone stuck on red icon, does someone have a clue what happened to my phone or if I would ever get it back to normal? :crying:
How long did you let the phone sit for (wait) and you assume it's stuck? As I know if you use the Qualcomm downloader will flash back to ColorOS and it will wipe everything automatically and your phone should be able to boot normally.(Last time when I revive my OPO if I remember correctly it will show the red 1+ logo for at least 30-45 sec.
It just sits there waited for a couple minutes, all the flashing goes ok, even with CM12S the flasing seems to be good, but it just boot loops, and the other thing when I flash a recovery it does flash it, but I cant make it boot to recovery what so ever... I just hope and pray there is a way to recover my phone since it would be a shame if someone told me, you have to buy a new motherboard... hopefully someone would just say replace the battery XD, because when I flash CM12s it does say the battery is too low to power and it keeps power cycling
Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.
