Hi,
So I got a bootloop after wiping battery status on recovery. But first I wiped cache and dalvik cache (i dont know why i did this). Now, Im on a boot loop and I cant even turn the phone off. I take the battery out and plug it back in and it just loops. Same with taking the battery out and plugging a usb. SO I successfully got to Download mode and got ODIN to recognize the phone. I installed Clockwork
Mod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin tar. and it says it was succesful, but no luck! Still loops. Is there another .TAR file I can install???
PS: I cant get into Recovery because phone does not turn off.
Please any input is much appreciated, this is driving me nuts.
Wiping battery stats, cache and Dalvik shouldn't cause a bootloop. Wiping Dalvik does cause a very long boot cycle, though, as it causes the system to think it's got all-new apps, and it has to re-process and re-cache them. Are you sure that's not what's going on? How long are you letting it sit for?
Also, are you sure you don't have a stuck power button? I doubt it because you were able to get into download mode and flash a recovery img, but have you tried mashing the button down over and over, even cleaning around the edges of the button with a needle?

U should definitely go back to stock via odin first before even trying to install cwm and flashing a custom rom.

I left it on the loop for about 2:30 hours. Still nothing- I cleaned around the power button by taking the case off. Everything looked fine but it still loops. Once I was able to get to Recovery mode but I could only scroll down one line before the phone flashes and goes back to the first command line. This leads me to believe that theres something wrong with the power button, its stuck or a short. Also, I still can't turn if off, as soon as I put the battery in- it turns on w/o me pressing the power button.
I think its a gonner...

It's alive! Finally i got it to boot up. I don't know how or why. I tried to go to Recover mode and this time I got in and was able to cycle through the menu. I reinstalled the latest ROM I used and it booted up. Strange.... but I'm happy.

Glad you got back into your phone. I am starting to see this happening a lot lately with ROMS. Which particular one were / are you on when it started the boot loop?

Sounds similar to what I just went through... Except I didnt do anything in recovery before mine started looping. Curious to know what rom you were running as well.

I was on the Seanscreamz' ICS ROM. I never had a problem with his ROMs before and I've been using them for about a year. They are pretty solid and I recommend them. It had to do something with me wiping caches and wiping battery stats because it happened shortly after. But I'm just guessing.

I'm trying to wrap my head around that, and not coming up with anything valid. Wiping the caches would cause a much longer boot time, battery stats, at most should only cause you to need to remove and reinsert the battery.
Just about the only thing I could come up with would be that when you wiped the caches, was that your phone was trying to reload all that data back into the cache and was getting brain dead.
More information is needed from others that have had the same issue, on the same ROM, or different does not matter, but detailed info as to what exactly was done prior to the boot loop issues.
If my phone gets stuck in a boot loop, usually after I flash someting in Odin or whatever, if I hit factory reset it fixes itself.
It doesn't bother me since all my stuff is backed up though.
You should Odin back to stock then flash cwm

just got a phone off of craigslist.. saw that it booted up, so i figured i might be able to fix it. cost me $100.
just finished ODINing it, but it just continues to bootlop. not sure what to do next.
Flash a recovery in Odin and see if you can enter recovery. Wipe data/factory reset if you get there.

already did that.. flashed CWM, ran recovery and installed rom. no go. now i see the cyanogen boot screen, but it won't get past that. this is kind of strange.
i think the issue with this phone is hardware related. constantly the phone turns itself off. i eventually was able to get stock rom to work (not sure how), but it goes haywire. wifi works, but for whatever reason, i can't download from the play store.
also, when im in CWM.. it reboots randomly. sometimse pressing the power button hits twice too. my old i777 has gone haywire too.. i might have to rethink what i will be choosing for my next phone.

I did what I could to try to replicate your situation. Which version of CWM are you installing? I went through several different versions up to the latest and found that the phone was having an issue with CWM itself. (possibly corrupted driver, but not 100% sure on that, as the phone does get recognized by the computers.)
But when I got to the latest CWM, and it started doing similar to yours, what I did was the following.
#1 : reinstall drivers
#2 : plugged the phone into the USB 2.0 slot on my laptop.
#3 : removed the battery, sim card, SD card
#4 : tried to power on the phone holding the power button for approximately 20 seconds. (nothing)
#5 : put in the battery while still plugged in, and powered on.
#6 : After phone booted up, and computer recognized the phone, I removed the battery. Phone stayed on.
#7 : waited while the computer re installed the ADB drivers, after driver install success, I unplugged the phone. Of course it powered down.
#8 : Restarted the laptop, put the battery back in the phone, and held vol + and - and power. Phone rebooted into recovery, but got into a boot loop when trying to recover.
#9 : downloaded TWRP recovery and put it on the SD card for the phone. Restarted the phone into recovery and installed TWRP recovery.
#10 : Rebooted phone into TWRP recovery. wiped all cache, installed latest STOCK ROOTED ROM.
The phone has been stable and working just fine, no wifi or blue tooth issues, calls are as normal, texting is as normal. LTE speeds as normal.
I have since switched all my devices over to TWRP recovery and have had ZERO issues.
My phone stopped working 2 days ago, it wasn't unlocked or rooted or anything.
The battery was empty and I needed too send a text so I plugged it in and tried texting but the phone was too empty so it kept rebooting and after 2 tries it just keeps booting.
Won't get past the one plus logo with the text powered by android at the bottom of the screen, just keeps rebooting to this...
I tried the recovery (power + volume down button) and selected all options, nothing changed after this.
The fast boot option i also tried but it just keeps displaying the text fast boot and nothing more....
Can anybody help or should I return it to one plus , i'd rather try myself if it won't void my warranty because I need a phone!!
Thanks

That's what fastboot does. It's supposed to receive commands / files via USB cable so you don't have a menu to do anything there.

Software modification (incl. rooting) won't void your manufacturer warranty on OnePlus. So you're good to go either way.
I'd suggest flashing the current (38R) stock rom via fastboot, there are several threads on how to flash ROM's that way so I won't go into any useless details here. It sounds like there was some unfixable corruption in the filesystem. Flashing the system hopefully will solve the issue
I was having an issue with google music not playing any audio although other apps worked fine so I decided to restart my phone. When I did I got stuck in a bootloop, my phone turns on to the white htc screen then immediately shuts off. I'm unable to access my bootloader or recovery and my phone will randomly turn on to the white htc screen without any input from me and then proceed to turn off again. There is slight heat from my phone so I can assume even though the screen is shutting off the phone isn't off. At first I was able to use adb to access recovery and did a factory format from there but that failed to solve my problem and now I am able to get adb to recognize my phone is connected anymore. I'm running stock rom rooted with s-off. I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Oh buy. You don't factory reset from recovery... If you can use adb, push a rom to the sdcard and flash it in recovery, assuming you have a custom recovery.

When I try to use adb it doesn't detect my phone, I do have twrp installed as my custom recovery.
edit: was able to use adb to enter recovery after letting the phone completely discharge

Greetings everyone, I am a new member and hope to become more involved in the community.
I have installed many custom ROMs on my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 in the past. On my latest attempt to install a custom ROM the recovery software went all funny. The phone would turn on and boot directly into recovery mode (displaying the text "RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING. Set Warranty Bit: Recovery"). It wouldn't go any further, meaning that I never get to see the actual menu where I would be able to clear cache, factory reset or install firmware. It then immediately dies and starts up again into the same screen. I tried using all the hardware buttons (i.e. booting into safe mode and recovery mode), the phone doesn't react at all. When plugging it into a PC there is also no reaction on the PC. The phone simply continues to boot into the recovery screen and then die before reaching the options menu.
PLEASE HELP, I have been trying to fix the issue for two days now. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Can you boot into download mode? It sounds like you'll have to flash the stock firmware in Odin. If you run into problems you can ask for help herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help

Originally the phone would not boot into download mode at all. It was essentially hard bricked. After a couple hours of messing with it, trying to get some kind of reaction out of the device, I managed to get it to boot into download mode. I actually managed this by pulling out the battery and pushing Power + Volume Down + Home whilst almost jump starting using the battery (connecting the battery connectors without fully putting the battery in to the phone). This managed to wake the phone into download mode similar to what a USB Jig would have.
Solution was found purely by luck.

Hi all, bit of a strange problem here.
I've recently updated TWRP from the official app and installed the latest recovery for my phone.. Problem is my TWRP screen is now green, and I cant touch any on screen buttons when in recovery. Because the recovery flag was set last time I rebooted the phone it keeps going into recovery and just freezing
To add insult to injury my USB port seems to be faulty (has been for a while) so I can't even connect with ODIN to reflash the recovery.. So I seem to be stuck in a predicament here. Windows advises the machine has malfunctioned and will not recognise the device. I wish this was a driver issue but after testing with a number of cables / machines I can safely say it's a hardware issue.
Is there anyway to reset the recovery flag so I can at least get back on my phone? Or any other options?
The Windows errors occur even when the phone is in Download Mode?

Yep. Got a new USB port coming in the post which should hopefully fix that.
I think it's looping into recovery because the recovery flag was set when I rebooted the phone (I selected reboot into recovery from my rom) Wondering if this flag will be reset if the battery is drained to 0%?
Because really, the phone itself should be functional, just getting past this recovery loop is the real problem
Interesting...
So I've replaced the USB port on the phone and STILL get the same error. Tried another laptop, same error. Tried removing samsung drivers from the windows driver store and reinstalling using smart switch... same error!
Pulling my hair out here guys!
