Hey
I just updated to the new lolipop via the sony software I was in the phone fine then done a reboot and now it loads and get to the lock screen I unlock the phone and it locks again automatically after a second.
I cant really do anything at all now or use the phone. I dont the reboot because Wifi wasn't connecting after the update.
Ive tried doing a factory reset but the screen on boot doesnt seem to be coming up either. whats the correct process just so I can confirm im doing it right. I just want to wipe it!
I held volume key down and powered on. and the screen will just flash and reboot.. so pretty much i cant do anything to fix it

Fixed luckily I had wheres my droid installed and setup and could do a remote factory wipe! .. now everytime i open settings it stops working and crashes. anyone have any idea how to fix that?
Im trying to do a repair now using sony companion

[Q] [GT-i9020T] Upgrade to CM7.1.0 RC1 Failed. Desperately need help

Hello, I went through Rom Manager to upgrade to the latest CM, I opted to clear the dalvik-cache, and clear data but didn't back up (I have other backups). It started going through the process, then the phone seemed to reset as if it was done installing and rebooted, It hung there for a long time (15+minutes), then the screen went blank, no lights/no response. I tried to restart the phone, it now stays at the google screen, so I tried going into recovery to flash a previous back up, IT WONT LET ME, the screen just goes blank and the lights at the bottom go on. When I go into fastboot mode it tells me my phone is locked again! And when I try and access fastboot through my pc it wont even read the device..Please help me..factory reset, I don't care..someone please help, what can I do?
Did you have fastboot working on that PC before? I.e. are you sure you have sdk/drivers correctly installed?

[Q] [i9023] Stuck in desk cradle and landscape mode

Starting this morning, my Nexus S is stuck in landscape mode.
When I fist boot up the phone, it seems to launch directly to the desk cradle mode, but it has never been connected to one.
Everything is landscape even the launcher. I can't use the phone because I can't reach the OK button for the SIM card PIN enter screen.
Factory reset didn't help. The inital setup is portrait, but after that it reverts to landscape.
Any ideas? Might this be a hardware problem?
EDIT: Android 4.0.3
EDIT2: I applied the VQ8PQk_V.zip OTA update manually to my stock 2.3.6 version. After a factory reset, the phone works as normal until the first reboot. The accelerometer is still working, i tested it after a factory reset before rebooting the phone.
Up
Sorry me for waking up this thread from his graveyard after 3 month.
I have an i9023 with the same issue of Tocharius:
my device is stucked in landscape mode and when i try to turn on it I cannot enter PIN code because OK button is outside the screen. The only way I have to make it works is to wipe data partition and everything works fine until first reboot.
In addition to this problem fastboot has stopped recognizing my phone, while ADB still recognise it.
When the issue firstly appears I was under CyanogenMod 9 v6.0 (Kalimocho).
I tried to flash other ROMs, but nothing has changed.
I tried to revert to stock, but nothing has changed.
I tried to open the phone, clean every connector i found, but nothing has changed.
Someone can help me?
I got this problem too. Lately I installed CodeNameAndroid 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25941996#post25941996 and after reboot my phone got stuck in landscape mode. I tried to reflash the rom and everything was fine until a reboot. Wiping data and resetting factory helps until reboot. I flashed another rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588799 and again the phone was stuck in landscape after reboot. I tried all rotation settings but nothing changes.
I was browsing settings searching for something that could fix it and turned adb debugging off and on and now it is stuck in portrait mode.

Yes buddy. You can reboot your phone to Stock recovery (as you said you are not rooted and i hope u have not installed CWM). Switch off ur phone and switch on. When samsung logo appears, just press menu key+Volume up button. It will boot into recovery mode. From there you can wipe data/Factory reset your phone.
thanks for this tipp helped me out but do you know why the media kept scanning
At my girlfriend it was a sign before her her microsd goes defective......

Device keeps rebooting at android setup

hey guys so im in a rough situation, I turned on my phone and randomly got a message same something like: CM loader could not be run/loaded and wouldnt let me do anything on the phone. So i decided to wipe the phone and install a custom rom. Now when i get into the setup screen after 3 seconds the phone reboots. This continues to happen till i hold the power button down and turn device off. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help is appreciated!
have you tried to just do a complete wipe and reflash the rom after the problem persisted?
yeah i did with a different rom too, still same thing
And you did a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik cache) before flashing?

found the problem! i didnt check usb debugging when installing the rom. used this guide to help me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/stuck-bootloop-dont-usb-debugging-t2920564

(Help) note 10 plus bootloop issue....

Hello. my phone was bricked yesterday after a month of installing one ui 3.0, this issue also happened also in one ui 2.0, and a month before.
My phone boots up normally just fine but after i enter my passcode in the lockscreen the android is starting popup opens and after that it just freezes and just boos again and repeats the same thing over and over.
I did booted up into recovery mode and wiped my phone's cache and repair apps, but there was no menu for the factory data reset. i don't have any clue this is an software issue or an hardware, i want to recover my phone with ODIN but i don't have my computer here right now.
so in conclusion the problem with my phone is that i can boot it normally but if i type in my passcode and the android is starting.... appears and it just freezes and boots up again.
and i don't know why it doesn't have the factory data reset menu on the recovery mode.
please help.
