[Q] Stuck on HTC boot logo

Help guys, I just randomly restarted my TITAN to brag about my startup speed (she has a GS2), luckily she went in to get some water. I had updated it with the most recent HTC update two days ago, no problems there. Was developer unlocked without any hacking. I've tried re-rebooting it. It's not booting to recovery with the camera button down too. Theres an option to factory reset if I hold down the volume buttons on boot, but I really want that to be my last option, if it even works at all. Please tell me theres something I can do about this ... my heart is breaking!

try pulling the battery out and then restarting?

Moved to Q&A

Eh ... I did that, heck, i've even let the battery run out too. Plugged to my computer and it shows the charging icon. After a bit, it reboots (expectedly) and gets stuck at th logo all over again. I'm at my wits end. I really don't want to reset it; whether its all my precious data thats preventing me from doing it - or the fact that if it still doesn't work afterwards i'm totally screwed, I don't know.
//Sorry for posting in the wrong forum

Phew. So after about 6 hours of random button holding, battery pulling and facepalming, I decided to factory reset the phone. Funny thing is, as I rebooted and held the volume buttons, the download mode screen popped up! Luckily, since I had just updated the phone about two days ago, not only do I have a restore point, but its a recent one too! So glad.
Now the question, was it the update that caused this problem? I noticed that the OS version remained at 7720 after the update, didn't know what the BL/radio version were previously. Any TITAN owners care to chime in?

I had this exact problem with my Titan just a few weeks ago. I didn't have a restore point unfortunately. But had to go through the whole reset process

[Q] Phone switches off after few seconds

Hi,
Guys I am going through some **** right now. Plese read the scenarios below and help me. I got no help at the oneplus forums.
Scenario 1 -
My phone was working fine until last night, I mean this is when I last used it. I switched it off and went off to sleep and in school today when I was trying to power it on the boot logo came and it went and after many tries the cyanogen logo came and it went away there is 80% battery. It doesn't charge also, like the phone recognises the charger but remains at 80% when I go to recovery try wiping cache and data, the phone switches off in few seconds. I can go into fastboot and stay for like 3 seconds then the phone switches off but I can connect it to power and keep it. I am on stock, latest CM12S. The only unusual thing I did yesterday on my phone is that I charged it using a different adapter but same cable. I can't seem to find this issue on google.
Scenario 2 -
Guys,
My phone's really messed up and I am scared to tell my dad cause he warned me before getting it for me. After the OnePlus logo comes, when I press the volume button and hold it, it works and as soon as I leave the volume button, the phone switches off. What is wrong? Do I need to send it back. I got it from Oneplus.cn so I am a bit worried and it's going to be tough to check what's happening.
Scenario 3 -
I removed cm12s and tried to flash oxygenos and I failed so then I installed cm11s and still have the problem, my phone can only boot in safe mode and as soon as I leave the volume button it switches off, same for recovery. Used the onplus toolbox by Inthiaano to install CM11S 44S.

Damn phone stuck in bootloop!

Came home from work yesterday and the Pure XL was dead, said it needed to be charged. Never happened before but I figured whatever and plugged it in and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and powered on the phone and the all white BLU splash screen came up and then the phone went off. Came on again and the all white BLU splash screen came up and went off. Ive tried holding down the power button for over a minute. Tried holding the power button and volume keys to boot into recovery from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, nothing stops it! It just keeps rebooting. This has been my apprehension towards purchasing phones with non removable batteries. The boot recycle happens about every 15 seconds and the phone vibrates everytime it boots up for the past 2 hours. Its getting very annoying and there is no way to make it stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plug it into your computer (you'll notice that there will be a longer black screen in-between the bootloops) and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds or more, then release it after the next vibration and the white BLU screen shows up. It might take a couple of tries.
If you manage to boot into at least recovery but can't boot into the system, then try clearing your cache/dalvik cache and try rebooting into system again.
If all of the above doesn't work for you, then your boot.img/system has gone bad, and you'll have to flash the stock images with SP Flash Tool (both of which can be found on other posts on this forum).

follow the instructions on the SP flash tool thread... sounds like what happened to me after bad flash... theres a lot of information in that thread that will set you up...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. The PC trick didnt work at all. I just called BLU and asked for a replacement(havent heard back from them ironically). I put the phone in the basement so I wouldnt have to deal with that incessant buzzing every 15 seconds. Eventually the battery died. Since I had it powered off finally, I plugged it in for about 10 minutes to give it enough of a charge to power on but not stay on to buzz for another 2 hours. This time I powered it on using the master reset button combo and was finally able to wipe the cache and restart the phone. Took a good 4 or 5 minutes to boot after that, but everything has been fine since. Really dont know what initially caused the issue, never happened before. Good thing too, cause BLU told me that they would send me a RMA within the hour and I still havent heard from them. Think this will be my last BLU phone. Thanks for the assist.

My phone Is stocked without root or Twrp. And I find my self having a bootloop once a month for an odd reason. This forces me to take bat out and put it back in or just let it loop til battery dies

My phone is basically out of the box and I'm getting boot loop problems when I first boot. This happens like once a month
Sent from my PURE XL using XDA-Developers mobile app

This happened to me for first time yesterday. Bought the phone earlier this year and everything worked fine. I restarted the phone because my sound recorder app froze up twice on open and the infinite boot started until the battery died. Tried the {power}{vol up} thing, didn't work to stop it, so I put it in my car and went back to the conference I was attending. Battery was dead when I got out. Contacted BLU by phone and they started a ticket for me, but I figured I'd see if other people were having this issue and learn what they did because I'd rather not be out of a phone for however long it takes for BLU to replace mine. Stumbled on this page. I never rooted my phone. And BLU only sent one wireless update since I've had the phone. I'm trying to get into the menu by connecting to the computer. Worked the first time, I cleared cache, and tried to backup my files, but I'd taken out the SD card in expectation of sending it to BLU. So, Powered off the phone, put the card back in, and now I haven't been able to get the menu back. Still working on it, if there are any suggestions anyone drops on me before Tuesday when I'll likely ship it (or at least hope to because I'll be yelling at them Monday), I'd appreciate it.

I tried to flash the phone, but the bootloop apparently wouldn't allow that. I had 0.0% progress after 3 hours. I then tried to go back into the menu you get from {Power}{Vol UP}: still no go. So, I started to take the phone apart again to get ready for shipping. The battery was still low so it didn't take long for it to die after I unplugged it from the computer. Out of curiosity, I tried to repeat finding the menu like I did earlier that day (conditions were that the phone had no charge when I connected it to the computer, and my SD card was removed.) No go. But, then I hit {Power}{Vol Up}{Vol Down} just to see what happened, and boom. My phone loaded up. No loop... Figured somehow the files had copied and the status bar was wrong. Turned the phone off, put my SD card back in and turned the phone on. Loop reappears ...I waited for the phone to die again, took out the SD, attempted to turn it on and the loop was there. Connected it to the computer and hit all 3 buttons, and the phone loads up. So, now I'm confused. Is there any way that the problem is some crappy connection to the SD?

Random restarts

Out of nowhere my phone started to restart randomly to the point when it looks like a boot loop. Also I have noticed that those boot loops occurs when my battery is below 50% and when I'm charged to 100% I can boot but after 3-4 minutes it goes to restart anyway. Also when I have turned off WiFi, GPS and BT there are no more reboots so far but I'm not able to turn on back WiFi, GPS or BT unless I will pull battery out and put back and turn on them back quickly but then I'm getting back those random restarts.
I'm on a stock but rooted Lollipop with TWRP.
I saw some threads with similar issues and were related to a battery but in those cases phones stay up when were charged or a battery pack and mine has still if is connected to the wall or a battery pack.
Any clue what is going on?
Thanks

OK now I'm not able to get to the Factory Reset screen (Power + Vol Down). Any clue on that?

Also when I try to flash stock it goes for about 6% and stops saying something like can't change to download mode.
Is this phone dead?

Is this phone dead?

So now I have issues to get started that phone. Mostly goes into boot loop mode (LG logo, LED flashes few times and reboots). Sometimes it goes beyond LG logo - to AT&T logo and reboots there. When I pass that I have a luck and I can get phone to work but I need to disable WiFi, BT and NFC.
Also I have got into MiniOS and run that ATT testing tool which came all passed except one - OTG or something like that failed.
Any help?

I think android modification is dead man. There's a bunch of junk devs that release crap that isn't even worthy of being flushed down a toilet, then provide no help to users with problems. At best they tell you that it's your fault then ignore you.
Wish I could help. I'm having a similar problem on CM13. After a few dozen posts asking for help with 0 replies, I've decided you now modify your software entirely at your own risk and if something goes to hell you either have to install a different ROM or buy a new phone.

try a new battery @TheNetwork @Scyzor

I ran into those constant bootloops on every ROM I tried, including when I factory restored to KitKat unless the phone was plugged in. I got a new battery (then recently replacing that one with a newer & good 6,800mAh for under $20 because it drains way too fast) & bootloops stopped.

I think this is sad but true :\ All PROs are gone to different phones or newest releases and only LG G3 fanboys left with bunch of "supporters" from Asia. Anyway I'm going to dump LG and will wait for new Google Nexus.

I have got two batteries week ago. One original replacement (3000 mAh) and some OEM (3500 mAh) - both were failing into boot loop until I will get to be lucky enough after full charge over the night and boot to the system and leave it as is but last Tuesday my screen started to fade away instead of turning off and after that it went again into boot loop.
But I don't have any problems booting into recovery (TWRP) or DL mode. Strange...

This happens with all phones as devs are like anyone else. They upgrade their devices and focus on the new device. Some sell their old device to offset the cost of the new one. Development takes time and many of these individuals have lives outside of development. They have jobs and/or families. What they do is for the fun of it and so they can get more of what they want out of Android. If they share it, then that is up to them and does not mean they owe support to those who choose to use their ROM(s). The fact that a development site lets non developers use ROMs that are uploaded is a privilege and I'm thankful for it. I'm not a developer but have been able to use info from here to get more of whst I want from my phones.

Strange problem. Battery full, no problems there. After getting mad about sdcard not being recognized, even with cm 12.1 , I decided to install cm 6.01 rom(marshmallow) nightly. Installed, changed launcher to nova prime, right gapps, and installed kernel auditor. Downloaded xposed for marshmallow, rebooted, everything was fine(or so I thought). Two days later, coming back from store, looked at my phone and hit power, to get it out of sleep. That's when everything went wrong. It didn't come back, and no pressing of the power button did anything, I had to battery pull. I rebooted to twrp, and over the next week tried to get it right. Uninstalled cm 6.01 nightly, and put xneon rom on it. Same problem persisted, no boot to the os, or partial boot to the lockscreen. I knew the phone wasn't hard bricked, since twrp was still working, and phone wasn't shutting down to no response. Whenever I tried to boot into the os' , it would still get stuck on startup, though. I read all of the advice to return to stock, using flashtool, or lgup, going into download mode, everthing that I could read up on, and implement. I ran to best buy, and ordered a huawei 5x, and said to myself, I can't fix it. Well, today, I said why don't I short the battery pins, and repeatedly press the power buttons, at the same time( because when i put the battery in, even after 10~15 seconds, it would boot to the lg logo, then fade to non-responsive again). Viola! it booted into the os' , and didn't shut down to unresponsive condition(no power button action, and ultimately, battery pull). It seems everthing was fine, until I used the browser, then condition came back. Battery pull again, and it's working now, haven't shut it down since, so I adjusted the display off time to 30 min. , and turned off power saving modes. I don't know if it's truly fixed, but I thought my phone was going to my archives history drawer(all my other phones still work, but they're underpowered, old os' phones). It may still go there, once I pick up my huawei, but I'm glad to see it still living. Is there some type of time out I'm not aware of? or a shutdown by internal fuse, or reset that's built into the firmware? I've heard of bad screens with this, but didn't think that was the problem, since, when in twrp, it never shut down to being unresponsive, and when twrp shut off screen, it would come back, even after hrs of it on. I want to know if the bootloader has anything to do with this, and by shorting it, cleared the emmc.

I have made a video how it looks on my LG G3:
PS.
Is there flashable CWM for D850? I have heard that TWRP is creating those issues from the video.

Well, based on some articles it looks like a hardware issue mostly related to the overheating and "cold soldering joints". Based on that article most of LG phones may experience that issue:

Nexus 6p and 5 bricked back to back.

Hi all. The struggle is real with me and the nexus devices these last couple of weeks. I had a rooted nexus 6p which I had recently updated to 7.1.1 and everything was seemingly working fine. One day randomly I picked up the phone and hit the power button to see what time it was and it rebooted . . . . and never stopped rebooting. I was able to get it to hold still on the bootloader menu but I couldn't boot into recovery or anything else. I tried reflashing everything and it seemed to take that just fine but still would not boot properly. Just the endless google screen followed by a brief flash of the android colors starting and then rebooting back to google screen. After hours of research I caved and called customer support and they told me to ship them the phone and they would send me a refurb. I still haven't received that one back yet but while I'm waiting I have been using my old nexus 5. It is stock firmware, never been rooted or anything. I popped my sim card in there and have been using it for about a week with no problems at all. . . . until tonight. The phone was in my pocket and I felt it vibrate, pulled it out and it starts happily rebooting itself from google screen to brief flash of colored android circles and then back to google screen. I can't get the nexus 5 to sit still on the bootloader menu. The bootloader pops up and immediately goes away before I can do anything and goes back to google screen for another 47000 rounds of rebooting.
So I'm having a hard time believing its a coincidence but I have no idea what is going on? I'm concerned that if I do get a fresh 6p back that I will brick that one as well. Could there be something on the sim card that is carrying over? Or perhaps some of my google settings or apps I have that are causing the problem? I have put the sim back in an old iphone but I'd like to get rid of that crap as soon as possible. Not a fan.
Any ideas on whats going on here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time
Chris
