I am not exactly sure what happened, but I am stuck in the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu. I had unlocked the phone before and was trying to relock it and get it back to stock because the new update wouldn't install.
While the HTC update utility was installing the stock firmware, I think the cable came loose at some point because it stopped part way. Now it boots, shows the HTC logo, goes black and then eventually shows a phone lying down with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I can push vol+/power to get "Android system recovery" to show up, but that seems to be all. It says "Mount SDCARD failed".It will only boot to this menu. I cannot load the bootloader or anything else so I can't seem to use fastboot or adb and can't seem to copy any files onto the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it totally bricked?
Edit: doing a factory reset from recovery does nothing.
Edit2: Sorry!!! False alarm. After spending about an hour going back and forth with this and finally breaking down and posting about it on XDA, suddenly the bootloader DID appear. I have absolutely no idea what I did differently. I guess the 500th try was the charm. Reflashing stock now!
I have a Moto G (from Republic Wireless) and started having the Boot loop problem.
When I try to go for fastboot, then volume up to select recovery, the motorola logo appears, but no android logo after. Then the boot loop starts again. Anyone help me please?
Did you flash an older android version?
Same same but different
I have the same issue. Although I actually get as far as to getting to the lock screen and unlock that and then I get about 3 seconds then I get the 'Powering Off' message and the phone turns itself off.
I have enough time to go in and put it in debug mode but the phone never recognises the computer once in bootloader, I think it most likely have something to do with the driver for 'Fastboot falcon s' not working. Can't install a new one or in any way make my phone communicate with my computer. Have all the latest Moto device manager stuff installed too. I also think I have the wrong firmware installed (US and not AUS version) along with a heavily corrupted (or even completely missing) recovery image.
Have tried flashing a new recovery image but I keep getting either a blank response from 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices' and whenever I try and issue a command that would hopefully result in anything other than the **** I am currently stuck in I get a 'waiting for device'.
All this because I tried to go from Unlocked Bootloader and CM11 (that wouldn't let me use mobile data or kept crashing on me, like 24/7) to stock Android and Relock the Bootloader.
I am pretty much losing my **** here, just happy it was only a $250 device though.
Does anyone have anything on this?
oh well, giving up on this. Contacted Republic Wireless and and they're sending me a replacement.
Hi,
I bought my OnePlus One (64 GB Sandstone Black) in September 2014. Since I got the phone, everything was running very quickly & smoothly. I did not have any problems with it, so I was very pleased with my brand new phone.
I did not tamper at all with my OnePlus One phone and every time there was a new OTA update, I updated it with the latest version. Currently my OPO has the latest Cyanogen OS 12 OTA updates (CM12S).
Last Friday I used my phone and everything was running very good, as usual. I shut down my phone and went to bed. The next day, on Saturday morning when I turned on the phone, it started showing the OnePlus One logo (with the text "powered by android"). Then CYANOGEN logo appeared on the screen and nothing happened. I waited near my phone for half an hour and nothing happened, it kept showing the CYANOGEN logo. It's like a cycle that never ends. So now I am facing a huge problem with my OPO: every time I press the power button, my OnePlus One gets stuck while booting, showing only the CYANOGEN logo. :crying:
Please see picture "OPO stuck on booting - shows only CYANOGEN logo.JPG".
As I said before, I did not tampered with my OPO, I did not flash it, I did not installed any ROM, I did not installed a custom recovery. Also, I did not drop my phone, so it is in good hardware condition. Every time there were new updates, I updated it with the latest OTA updates. I did not have any issues after the updates, so I don't understand why now it gets stuck on booting (especially since before this problem appeared, everything was working great, as usual).
I read through the forums, the internet and tried to find several solutions, without wiping my data. Any solution that I found did not work and I could not fix this problem (OPO stuck on booting, while showing the CYANOGEN logo). After two days in which I could not use my phone, I removed my SIM from the OPO and now I am using a normal phone (only for calls and SMS).
After my OPO gets stuck while booting, showing only the CYANOGEN logo, I connect it to my laptop using the USB cable (the same one used for charging), but I cannot access my files. Before this huge problem appeared, I could easily connect my OPO to my laptop. Please see pictures: "Connecting my OPO via USB - Installing device driver software - Step 1.JPG" and "Connecting my OPO via USB - Installing device driver software - Step 2 - Failed.JPG". I updated the drivers, but it did not work.
Ever since I got my phone, I have never unlocked the bootloader or rooted or anything of that sort.
I have never even touched any fastboot/adb commands since I got the OPO, until now, when I have this major problem with it.
After reading the forums, I started my OPO in Fastboot Mode and used 2 commands with fastboot.exe (Please see picture named "OPO Fastboot Mode.JPG")
Results below:

F:\OnePlus One tools>fastboot.exe devices
b01c5f88 fastboot

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

******************************
I do not understand why "Device tampered: true", since I have never unlocked the bootloader or rooted or flashed or anything of that sort ever since I got my OPO. I did not tamper my OPO, so "Device tampered" should have been false.
I also tried to use ADB, but it does not work. Please see below:
******************************
F:\OnePlus One tools>adb devices
List of devices attached <--- THIS LIST IS EMPTY, IT DOES NOT SHOW MY DEVICE, SO ADB DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
******************************
I want to save my media files (pictures, recordings, clips, audio files), my documents and messages.
For other suggestions found on the forums, I did not use at all, because I do not want to erase all data of the phone.
My OPO can boot into recovery mode (Please see picture named "OPO Cyanogen Recovery.JPG"), so I can see the Cyanogen Recovery menu, but I do not want to wipe all my data and do a factory reset. I want to first save my data and afterwards I can erase all data and reset my OPO.
Problem: my OPO gets stuck while booting, showing only the CYANOGEN logo. I wait and wait and nothing happens (today I waited for two hours, the logo is still there and the phone does not start).
I want to:
1) Save to my computer my files (media files, documents) and messages (SMS and chat messages, like viber and so on)
2) Solve this boot logo issue (OPO stuck on booting, while showing only the CYANOGEN logo)
Any help regarding this problem is enormously appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bogdan
Well that sucks. You could try to install TWRP through fastboot and use it to mount the phone as a USB storage device, I think that could work.

Wait no, since your bootlocker is locked it's pointless.

Will help you with bootloop if is rom issue
Flash ota first is cyanogen 5.0.2
Your data is safe
The other suggestion from oneplus is little risky
You should after take backup to connect with pc and tranfer your backup to pc if you factory reset or unlock bootloader
You will need proper drivers for that
Check how enable twrp mtp storage for pc
Follow the steps one by one before try it .
Good luck
I have looked at multiple guides on this and other sites, googled and tried stuff and I cannot resolve this problem. Hopefully I am posting in the right place.
I took the jump and unlocked the bootloader on my Moto G first generation, XT1034 successfully. I flashed TWRP 2.8.60.xt1034.zip with adb and this was successful. Then I flashed Super SU 4.6 Update and that was successful. I got into trouble I guess when I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly. I used TWRP to flash via install. The flash had an error, which unfortunately I didn't write down. I believe it was something to do with a partition. However, it looked like the flash failed. At this point and for hours I have been trying to fix the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked Loop I am stuck in.
I have been able to get into the phone and flash via adb commands. I've tried several commands suggest to fix this that I have found in forums. I have tried flashing several recoveries including an older TWRP per the method in this thread, a clockworkmod - and the original 2.8.6.0.xt1034. When I get into the phone bootloader which is available, I have not been able to access any options in recovery. Pushing the power button on recovery leads to a blank screen sometimes followed by a recovery starting or a Motorola Logo starting up and a couple times a recovery. TWRP has started a couple times, but never gets past the intro screen, where it locks up. clockworkmod (clockworkmod-6.0.4.7-falcon.img started once after flashing through adb and gave me flash options. I tried to sideload, didn't understand, went back and the recovery locked up. These recoveries no longer load at all.
Through all of this the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" logo screen comes up after plugging into the computer (Windows 8.1).
Example, I open the phone bootloader by waiting for the phone screen to go from the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen to blank - it cycles from logo to blank. If I'm quick the phone and hard boot the phone will boot into bootloader. I connect to the laptop through USB. When I toggle to recovery and hit the power button the screen goes blank, the Motorola Logo pops up, goes blank and then the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" appears. The Laptop then seems to connect and disconnect as the Warning screen comes on and turns off.
The factory selection just goes to a blank screen.
I would really appreciate some advice on how to get the phone back to a state in which I can work with it and try again. It is very difficult wading through all of the information out there. I've learned a lot through this issue, but can't take it any further.
Thanks, Jeff
Solved - Stuck in "Warning Bootloader Is Unlocked" Loop
This resolution took many hours to figure out, but I finally got there with this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219, this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54855457#post54855457 and this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...e-firmware-t3042687/post59139823#post59139823.
I tried RSD Lite on different computers and USB cables I could not get the device recognized. So I ended up with the MfastbootV2 method to reload stock firmware, which I found on the firmware thread above - this was big, as my phone is with Wind Mobile in Canada and the link is the right one. The only thing I picked up from a different website was to use a computer with USB 2 ports. This is what I did, but I don't know one way or the other if USB 2 was needed. .
Can't thank you hard working guys enough for the time you take to put these threads together. I'm back up and running. As a bonus, after a big clean up in the process, my phone is running fast again.
Thanks everyone.
Hello,
I bought a new device and therefore wanted to factory-resent my Nexus 5 to give it to my wife.
I did it from within Android and then it restarted and stayed in the "Erasing..." screen for quite a while, then showed the dead robot with the "!" triangle sign, then rebooted and started "Erasing..." again, with apparently no way out.
I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP, but also booting the recovery went back into "Erasing..." mode.
I then tried to boot from an external TWRP iso image with fastboot from the PC. TWRP seemed to load, then started doing a bunch of things like formatting "something" (was too quick to read) and suddenly in a matter of second it was back to the robot but now without the "Erasing..." label anymore and now it's stuck there.
No idea what happened and how to fix and now I'm somewhat scared of trying something else.
Any idea?
Never mind... Flashed ALL stock images from fastboot (just userdata and cache didn't work) and it rebooted.
No idea what the problem was.
