Yesterday i tried clearing my cache partition and my phone got stuck on the screen with the android robot lying down with his chest open error screen. No matter what i do i cant seem to enter recovery mode it just goes to the error screen for like 5 seconds and then screen turns off for a second the goes back to the error screen. Just wondering if anybody knows how to fix this.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Seems a bit normal to me, having one myself. Go into bootloader, have Andy lying down, screen flashes, and comes back. The difference is after the screen flash, a banner will appear at the top which you can scroll through and toggle with the volume keys and power button.
But if you select recovery and it bounces you back into bootloader, something a bit off, like "your recovery is borked" off.
You could try wiping cache again, this time with fastboot. In the mode noted above, with your phone attached to your PC, type the following command on your PC:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
...and then try opening recovery.

Hi to all. I have a problem with my tablet.Some days a go my tablet started to bootloop. I got the ZTE logo and then reboots again. It's the same thing when I tryto charge it. For a couple of seconds it shows the battery icon which is low and after that it's like it shuts off and shows the battery icon again. Over and over. Not only that but when I try to enter to recovery mode I press power + volume up and I get 4 boot modes recovery,fastboot,normal and UART.When I choose recovery mode the screen goes black.no android icon what so ever. I want to recover my files from it and flash it with new rom.
Any ideas?
Ok I solved the first problem.It tyrned out that it had not enough battery.I did charge the battery without the tablet and it has enough power to boot to recovery menu. It has the option backup user data data but I get Mount data error. I can't think a way to recover my files without factory reset.
Hi there,

Okay so I have a bit of a situation and looking for some helpful advice, I'm not a complete novice but I seem to have gotten myself VERY stuck.
The Specifications:
Samsung Note 3 (rooted)
TWRP
Safe Strap
Rebooted recently and was in TWRP and accidentally chose "Recovery", phone now continuously Reboots into Recovery Mode in the upper left of the screen. I've tried to do the Volume Up + Power + Home button to no avail and every other combination I can think of, resulting in The same .. Reboot Recovery Option in the top left after about 10 seconds it Vibrates twice and reboots again.
I can't access TWRP, can't access Stock Recovery, Can't plug it into a PC as it just reboots over and over again after it gets power. Read a few things about Fastboot (Don't know if Note 3 Supports that, and Maybe Odin but I can't see how I'm to flash anything if it just immediatly reboots as soon as I plug it in)
HELP!

Hello All,
This is my first post at this forum.
I've come to a point where I'm on the verge of giving up.
A few days ago my Nexus 5 entered a boot loop without me doing anything special with it - it was just in my pocket.
All see is the google logo for a few seconds , then the screen goes down for a few more, and back to the google logo.
I'm able to go into fastboot by hold down the volume down (only) button when this happens, but the boot loop happens when I choose to boot into recovery mode.
My device has an unlocked bootloader.
I have fast boot access and no ADB (ADB wait-for-device doesn't work).
Went over a tutorial from androidforums.com and flashed a completely new image using fastboot.
The entire process worked, but the phone is still at the same state.
I've read that there is and issue with the power button on these devices - so I tried all methods of knocking it against stuff without success.
I've taken it to a lab nearby and the guy there was sure it was the power button. He said he fixed about 50 of these already - after a few hours he called me up and said he had replaced the power button 3 times and he's giving up.
in short , this is the current situation :
1. Device stuck in bootloop - only google logo is seen
2. can boot into fastboot (and have fastboot access from PC) but can't boot into recovery
3. flushing a stock succeeds but won't help
4. power button seems o.k.
I am about to call this a bricked phone and look for a new one but something inside me tells me that this might still be a software issue and can be fixed.
I would be happy to know if there is a way to know what is failing in the boot sequence. or maybe load a debug application on to the device to check the HW. I've yet to find any help in that direction.
I'm a software eng. working in the cellular comm. field, so I'm up for anything that anyone has in mind.
Thanks,
Ran.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It does sound like a hardware issue and it could be the power button, except for one thing: wouldn't a held down power button in fastboot cause a shutdown as well? Maybe not, but I thought I'd ask that.
At any rate, better to get an opinion from someone who actually has the deivce. Please create an account (so you post in other forums) and then post in this thread (can copy and paste from here):

Hi everyone, i have been having some trouble with my Lenovo Yoga 10 B8000 tablet. Today it was low on battery so it turned off on its own, after that i placed it on a charger and it showed the battery charging. After i saw it was full i disconnected it and turned it back on and it showed the "Lenovo" logo and it remained like that and i left it to boot up.
After a while (two or three hours) i checked it and it was still stuck on the logo screen, i tried rebooting it again by holding the button, and nothing happened, it turned back on and got stuck on the logo screen every time.
Eventually i booted into recovery mode and wiped out the cache partition and did a data reset and after it was done i selected the option to reboot. It turned off and then it turned on displaying the logo, but this time it moved on to a screen with an Android opened up with a spinning blue thingy in front of it and a blue line below just like when it is downloading a system update. It stays like that for half a minute and then restarts and does the same allover again, only if i press the power button it displays a text saying "formatting/ data..." and after a few seconds it says "formatting/ cache..." and it brings me back to the recovery screen. From there i have tried wiping the cache and doing a data reset again, i have tried rebooting again and i have even tried force restarting it by holding the power button down, nothing happens.
Every time it restarts and does the same thing, i have even tried connecting it to a PC so i can flash the stock rom but in any case it is not noticed by the PC and the drivers are already installed.
Pleas help me out here because i need that tablet for work.

Hey guys,
Note 4 was stuck in a bootloop. Looked around to find that you can go into recovery mode to do a factory reset which would fix the issue (I had done this before on another Note 4). Tried to go into this Note 4's recovery mode (Power Button + Home Button + Volume Up button), the green Android logo came up then disappeared and it went into the bootloop. Now when I try to enter the recovery mode, the phone brings up the blue letters in the top right corner (recovery mode) then just restarts and brings up the blue letters again, then keeps repeating.
Any idea what I can do to fix the issue?
Thanks very much for all your help.
