The phone has completely run out of power.
I charged it up, turned it on. But after I unlock the screen, after a second the interface starts rebooting. That is, not a complete reboot, but exactly the interface, a few times, and then a complete reboot.
I can use the curtain, turn on and off wifi, but until the phone unlocks.
I tried resetting the cache via recovery, it didn't help.
I also put the latest update through odin with save data, that didn't help either.
Really need to save the data of one installed app. Please, if you know what you can try, advise me.
Was thinking of updating one ui via adb sideload in recovery, but don't know how.

Alright. This is a 100% stock Nexus S- nothing "development" wise was done to the device, no system tools installed that could cause issues, basically nothing but basic apps loaded on the device.
It just started today. I was working on my bf's Vibrant (another, more successful story) and grabbed my Nexus and hit the power button and it did not turn the screen back on. Holding the power button down did not reboot the device, and none of the buttons would light up or function.
So, I pulled the battery. Now every time I try to boot, it hits the "Google" screen and stays put. I left it alone for 5 minuets hoping it would finish booting and nothing. The soft buttons will light up, and if I touch them they register the touch but it does not help the phone to boot.
I do know that the phone was basically dead right before this happened, and at first I thought it was just dead. However, its been on the charger for at least 30 minuets- which should have given it enough of a charge to boot up, and still nothing.
What could cause this issue?
I did install a couple of new applications today, and I know the market updated a bunch of them but they're all apps that I've had on several phones (minus the two new ones today) and have never had an issue with any of them. The two new ones I downloaded were OS Monitor, and a 2G/3G toggle for hopes of improving some battery life.
But those are the only two things I've done differently. I've only been using the phone for a week but I haven't had any problems at all, before this.
Now- if worst comes to worst I can seem to get into the bootloader, and through that, stock recovery. So I can try to do a factory reset and wipe cache but without a backup I really kinda hope thats a last resort.
Please help, and let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you!
I understand that you're fully stock which I assume means you have a locked bootloader (everything I say from here on out assumes as such)? First, I'm going to also assume that you didn't update to 2.3.3? If not, then follow the steps in this guide to boot into a custom recovery and from there go to backup and restore and do a NANDroid backup. Now go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage (or whatever its called, don't have my phone right here). Plug your phone into your comp and copy over whatever you'd rather not lose from your SDcard (just in case you have to wipe). Now download the 2.3.3 update from here and put it on the root of your SD card. Now go back and flash this. Reboot and see if you're golden. If so, great, if not try a factory reset.
If that doesn't work go through the steps again to boot into a custom recovery, you might have to unlock your bootloader and wipe all your data (again) and restore your backup and try doing a factory reset with that. Don't worry about unlocking the bootloader, it can be relocked with a simple command and it won't wipe anything to relock it.
Here is the command just in case:
Code:
fasboot oem lock
I got all the way to having clockwork recovery booted up on the phone, but nothing would mount. Everything gave me an error, and factory reset froze...
I don't think there is anything I can even do from here, is there?
The tablet boots up into android. If I'm fast I can swipe the screen lock and usually swipe once or twice more in Android, but then the tablet freezes, and reboots, and the process begins again. If I do nothing, the tablet boots up to the screen lock for a couple of moments and then freezes and reboots.
The tablet is pure stock with a locked bootloader.
I did boot into the stock recovery once and there was an android update error.
The tablet is my son's so I'm not completely sure what happened.
What are my options? There are no important files on the tablet.
Thanks!
You got two options:
Do a factory reset from Settings > Backup & reset
That will delete all user installed apps and settings. If it is something caused by an app your son installed, this should fix it.
If it doesn't, you may have some system files corrupted (simply runnig the battery down until it crashes can do it) and would need to reflash the firmware manually.
Try the reset first and let me know if you need help to flash the firmware.
The tablet wouldn't run long enough for me to get into settings for a reset, so I booted back into recovery and selected the data reset there. The little android guy popped up and erased the previous system, and then rebooted. Works great now. Thanks!
I just used Kies to come out of a horribly persistent bootloop. When I turn it on, though, it stays at the setup screen. Where you're asked to select your language and all that.
I can rotate the screen for a couple of seconds, and/or use my rocker to adjust the volume and see it on the screen, and can see some messages from my carrier, but can't select anything. Then it freezes completely, in whatever orientation and with the volume bar.
I've taken the battery out and put it back in, factory reset and deleted cache. It still turns on and gets stuck. I don't know what to do.

What specific phone are you talking about? For Samsung phone flashing stock firmware via ODIN will probably help.

Thanks for responding! Yes it's a Samsung (Galaxy Core II Duos; SM-G355H)
Flashing the stock ROM was what got me into that darned bootloop in the first place, so I'm saving that as a last resort.
I'm currently using Kies again. I flashed an unofficial version of CWM to my phone, formatted /system /data and /cache and I'm trying Kies again. If that fails then I'll repeat and use Odin.
Hi!
So, I was perusing my phone when super user popped up and asked me to update my su binary, so I said yes, then it asked me to do it manually or automatically with TWRP or CWM, well, I have CWM installed on my phone, so I hit the automatic button.
The phone reset and rebooted into recovery, only the screen started just flashing a picture of the recovery android, and the phone is completely unresponsive, I have tried resetting the phone with the buttons, and by taking out the battery but it just goes back to automatic recovery which isn't working. I have also tried to access it through my computer but it isn't showing up even when connected to USB.
Has my phone bricked? I am pretty worried, what can I do?
I tried to drain the battery as well, which didn't work.
Thanks so much.
Hello everyone,
So I have a rare issue. I have a OnePlus 6. Today, it started to act really weird. It became so slow that even swiping on home screen with no apps opened takes like a minute to register. I forced power off the device. When powering on again, it seemed like it take around 10 minutes or so to boot. Again, extremely slow. I tried everything from restarting and clearing app cache while in the system itself but no luck.
So, next thing I booted to recovery mode, typed my pin, and cleared system cache and settings. It started to progress until just a tiny bit left before the end of the progress bar, and it got stuck again. Kept like this for a long time. I had to force power off the device again. Now, when I try to power on the device, it launches into Recovery Mode. I tried my pin but it wouldn't decrypt and looks like the device is no longer recognizing it. I tried a couple of "default passwords" but it wouldn't work either. It only gives the option to "Forget Password?" Which should wipe everything off the phone. The only other mode it launches into is Fastboot Mode. I'm using Stock everything and Device State is Locked. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Now my question is, is there any way I can open my device again without losing data? Maybe some way I can pull files using adb in that state then factory reset? Or maybe someway I can bypass Recovery Mode and boot again? I have important data that I can no longer access if the only way to fix this is by wiping everything!
Can anyone help? Much appreciated in advance.
When a phone permanently boots into Recovery mode then either Android OS is corrupted - for whatever reason - or phone's bootloader is misconfigured.
If phone is accessible by either ADB or Fastboot you can try to exit Recovery mode by forcing phone to boot into Android OS ( Normal mode AKA System ) by applying the related ADB and/or Fastboot command.
