Hi, my wife has a HTC one xl and it is stock. Recently it has started to go into a boot loop and it will not boot up. She has since bought a new phone but would like to recover SMS messages from her mother who has only recently died. I have experience in rooting devices and installation of custom Roms but I don't know where to start with this and don't want to lose the data. I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader but it doesn't seem to work. I have attached photo's of the various screens but when I select the option to boot into recovery I get two green circular arrows and another pointing down for a short time then it goes back into the boot loop (Image below). Is there a way to get this to boot up without losing the data/SMS messages? Thanks.

Hi all, so i have a particularly peculiar situation that happened to me the other day...I tried to root my rogers htc dream and i ended up failing but everything still booted and seemed to be the same..A few weeks later my friend was playing with my locked phone and activated a bug where the phone permanently locks and asks you for your google login information but doesn't accept it..Then when i rebooted my phone into recovery menu it was different then i remember (that is it was running cyanogen mod 1.2 JF)..i tried ot restore my phone but no go...then i tried to install a new mod (the new cyanogen mod) but it failed and now my phone is not booting past the rogers splash screen. I try accessing the recovery menu or the fastboot menu and both do not work/respond. What should i do? I need to get my phone working...the data on it is not important..i just want to get it rooted running android 1.6 donut...Thanks a lot everyone
Anyone? i can't access the recovery menu or the flashboot menu...what should i do?
Try posting in the Dream subforum where the people who specialize in that device hang out. The general forum probably won't yield much help.
Hello, I'm new to this whole rooting thing, and this afternoon I decided to give it a try on my MyTouch 3G 1.2. I downloaded ROMManager and preformed a flash recovery. I then proceeded to download the CyanogenMod 6.0 to my device and was forced to boot into recovery mode. Afterwards, I see a black screen with green text. The command list under this text read sd-ext.img not found and the ROM wasn't downloaded on my device. Now whenever I try to reboot my MyTouch 3G, it just stays on the green boot-up screen. I'm tired of all this rooting nonsense and just want to return to my phone's original Android 1.6 OS. Is my phone bricked? If it is can I do anything about it? Thanks in advance.
Hi guys.
I tried to upgrade phone with the latest One Touch Upgrade app. During the upgrade process, app froze and stuck.
After this, it can't boot, stuck in the alcatel boot animation. Tried almost everything: nandroid restore via fastboot (2 or 3 different backups), flashing stock roms posted on forum, nothing worked. Only thing changed is that now it has T-mobile boot animation.
I got clockwork recovery but can't enter it in any way. I managed somehow to enter it once from power off state but accidentally i didn't have any backup image on sd then. I can't manage to enter it again, no matter which buttons i press with power button.
I would be really grateful if someone know any solution for my problem.
same problem here with a alcatel one touch 908f, does anyone knows where i can find the stock firmwares?
like an ftp or something similar
best regards

Hi, hoping someone can help me out i cant find anything on google.
I just installed insertcoin custom rom onto my htc butterfly s and it seems that it went off without a hitch.
after the installation it prompted me to reboot, which hung at the htc loading screen for a long time. and so i turned it off and on again.
Now it shows me the Htc loading screen after awhile it turns black, vibrates and shows me the htc loading screen again but this time there is a booting to recovery mode at the top, and it brings me to my CWM recovery page.
nothing i do can get me out of this loop. anyone has any advice?
Someone suggested to me that the new devices dont auto flash boot and after using fastboot to flash the boot again it seems to have fixed it.
but i cant find a way to delete this thread so yea..
