[Q] HTC Explorer boot loop

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. A few days ago I rooted my HTC explorer successfully. Today I (forgot and) reset my phone to factory settings and now it is in continuous boot loop. I tried to rerun the "recovery.bat" instructions and reinstalling "Superuser.zip" but not successful. What should I do now? Installing a custom ROM? Is it possible to resolve this issue by flashing ROM with default firmware? Primarily I rooted my phone for some applications and I assume that installing custom ROMs have some disadvantages too (e.g., CPU load or reduced battery timings maybe). Am I right? Considering my requirements, I don't need a custom ROM that is why I prefer default ROM.
Please suggest some solution and the procedure to follow.
Thank you very much.

Try REBOOT BOOTLOADER
Hi,
I'm new guy too..
The same thing happened to my mobile after installing several apps (now i knew, I should NEVER do that) at once & I was worried just as you did.
My phone continuously restarted & was stuck at the logo
Planned for custom ROM flashing and just before that, eventually gave a try on my own.
Press power+volume down button after switching off.. you'll be directed to new screen with 4 options
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
************ (sorry.. cant remember)
SIMLOCK
Select FASTBOOT and then select "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" when 4 options comes under fastboot menu
Next select POWER DOWN from the same menu..
Now try restarting your phone normally. This could possibly work just as it happened to me. (I was so much relieved after it worked)
P.S: Dont ask me how it would work or why it didn't work.. bcoz as i said, I'm also new to android..
Cheers pal.. :fingers-crossed:

You are not supposed to use the factory reset in settings once you added a recovery. That would be the reason for your boot loop.
Now you may try to reset your phone with option available in recovery. It may help your device but chances are rare.
What i would suggest is to install a custom ROM which suits your needs and give life to your phone.
If you choose the ROM which suits with your usage you will not be having any problem.
Good luck with that

[Q] OPO Softbrick! How to solve (get back to stock)?

I've got problems updating my OPO CM updating and after searching for a solve I've found this Thread
forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/89400-ota-update-failing-to-install-seeing-status-7-errors-while-applying-an-update-read/
So I followed the steps
I've installed the newest TWRP and made a backup
After deciding to flash OxygenOS ('cause I wanted to try that one out) I downloaded it from oneplus.net
I flashed the OxygenOS and got a softbrick
(I did not wipe)
I can boot normally, but I will get a black screen (after the boot animation) overlaying some sort of form I should fill out, but I can´t interact with it
I can also see the status, showing me my battery status and time
I can also boot into fastboot, but am troubeling booting into recovery to restore that backup
My PC (win 7) detects that I'm plugging in my phone, but I'm not able to access the files
I have the "cm-12.1-20150505-NIGHTLY-bacon" on the phone (same dir as the oxygenOS)
As TWRP I used "twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon"
So how can I fix this?
How can I restore that backup file?
I've searched for an solution, but did not find anything which seemed to fit my case or asured me that it´ll work for me
Could that solve my problem?
forums.oneplus.net/threads/has-anyone-tried-downgrading-from-oxygen-os-to-cm11s.290671/#post-10672763
Also I don´t want to use this tool, ´cause I read a lot of thread telling me that flashing from OxygenOS to CM back will cause a hardbrick
It also won´t detect my phone ...

Thanks in advance!

Flash the stock images using fastboot, see section 8 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
It's safe as long as you don't perform any reboots between any of the commands.
Transmitted via Bacon

Thanks a lot! But got another question ...
Thanks! I was able to flash to an working CM ^^
saved my Day
Now I´ve got the CM version "12.0-YNG1TAS0YL"
CM says that there is an update ("YNG1TAS17L") and downloads it
After hitting the "install" button I see a little loading Animation with the name of the new vesion, but nothing happens
The loading Animation goes away, but the phone does not reboot
I the rebooted it, but still got the old version (and the notification about updating)
It´s like the problem which made me decide to flash to an update (but then I decided to use OxygenOS ... not again ...)
Any ideas of solving this problem?
Or shall I just download the newest CM version for Bacon and flash it?

Access Data when stuck in Boot Loop

Hi Guys,
Firstly I'm a Noob and just about rooted my phone been working fine for a year but all of a sudden got stuck in boot loop yesterday. It's a Samsung S4, GT-19505.
Hadn't flashed any new stuff to it was just restarting with xposed framework to log into snapchat which I've done 1000 times before.
I can get into CWM based recovery mode but otherwise can't get phone to boot past Samsung screen.
I will just do a factory reset but there are files on the device I really need so was wondering is there any way of accessing these through the recovery mode or something? Or a way of doing a reset so all system files etc are reset but I don't lose my images, audio files etc?
Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry if some of that doesn't make sense or this post is in wrong section! I looked for older threads with an answer first but couldn't find any.
Thanks,
HB

1) doing a factory reset clears data(excluding internal storage),cache,dalvik so it's highly unlikely you would lose any if your files.
2)you can connect your phone to pc via USB ,then enable mtp mode/mount storage in settings and can access your data through PC .

One PlusOne recovery loop- Help needed

Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!

Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.

There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again

Creating Backup on XT1033 stuck on Bootloop

Hi everyone,
I hope I am in the right forum to post my query. I am trying to find a solution to the existing Problem. Before I get to describe the problem specifically I must make it clear that this is my first time on any android forum. While trying to find a solution for the existing problem, I had to google words like Bootloop, Softbrick, TWRP, Custom Recovery, Root, Flash, ROM etc. They still do not make much sense to me (I will be reading more about them in the coming days). So now you can imagine how big of a Noob I am.
Well, I own a Moto G 1st Gen XT1033. Since yesterday it is in a Bootloop. The phone boots completely at times but automatically restarts itself after a while. Sometimes I have 1-2 minutes at maximum to use the phone. Until now I have been able to delete quite a bit of data for example pictures and certain apps because I thought that Bootloop was happening because of no space on the memory. The last app that I installed 3 days back from Google Play after which this problem started occurring, I was also able to uninstall it. Until now I have tried wiping out Cache by going in the recovery mode but that didnt fix the Reboot problem. I also tried holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button for 2 minutes (I read it on internet somewhere as a fix to the problem) but that didnt help either. I have never created a backup and I don't want to do a Factory Reset as a fix to the problem because I don't want to lose the data. I also tried to follow your solution for backing up data but I got lost. I don't know where to start from. Thats why I am writing here.
I don't know if my phone is rooted. I did turn on Developer Mode on my phone in the past (if this info helps).
I do not know which Android version I have but I am guessing that it is Lollipop.
I never installed TWRP or any Custom Recovery software on my phone before.
The battery is working ok.
What I am looking for is:
1) Step by step guide to create a backup
2) Resolving Bootloop issue if possible
Thanks

without custom recovery no data backup is possible.
u need to unlock your bootloader and install The Twrp recovery to perform the backup.
but only fix for you is factory reset.

Thank you @jbanti Apologize for my late response. As far as I know unlocking the bootloader will erase the memory. One can recover data by ADB Pull by using these Threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-1st-gen-xt1033-boot-loop-stock-t3357472 (Post #4)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
So I know that there it is possible using`adb pull` command to take backup of whole device but I don't know how. I get lost in the 2nd thread. Any lead would be appreciated
Thanks
