only 2 things to do:
if you're unlocked ur bootloader go to the developers forum and flash a stock rom using tenfars recovery.
else: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181932
get the sbf and flash with RSDLite, YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO 1.83, IT WILL BRICK UR DEVICE.

I had a similar issue yesterday after trying a mod. I pulled the battery, put it back in, and booted up. The error had stopped, (although the issue remained). I then put the original zip file on my phone, booted into CWM and flashed the original.
In essence, pulling the battery may allow you to do what p0xer said because you will be able to get any files you need onto your phone for flashing. (May actually fix the problem also).
If you can reboot to a useable state, maybe try clearing Dalvik, cache, and factory reset to get rid of the problem.

I am a new Android convert and purchased the Photon 4G last week. I successfully rooted, though I have not unlocked the bootloader. I flashed the Photon Laser 1.1 ROM, and then the Alien 1.1 Rom and theme. After noticing that I had no 3G/4G, I decided to revert to stock and avoid the Alien 1.1 for now. I went into Clockworkmod and wiped the dalvik cache, which I think was my major mistake, then in android recovery mode I wiped the cache 3 times, and did a factory restore. From this point forward I can not boot the phone successfully. Once it comes up to the tap the android to begin screen, I receive multiple error messages requesting the calander, phone, and other apps be force closed. I am unable to get into the phone at all. Additionally, if I tap the android icon, I can see the icon flex indicating my tap, but nothing happens. I've spent the last 6 hours attempting to use RSD Lite to reflash the stock image, but I receive an error each time stating "Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file. (0x7029); phone connected." I need some direction from anyone that can help. Thank you in advance.

Hey, I just wanted to confirm that you used RSDlite to flash the Final SBF release...45.2.5? And that didn't work? I've had issues with RSDlite attempting flash and then fail on me too. In that case, my phone would turn on into the Moto-boot logo, and then get stuck. I took the battery out and put it back in and it seemed to get me back into the phone after booting. Maybe you can try to reflash the final 45.2.5 update again?? Try using the cmd terminal to reboot or push files onto the phone? Sorry I don't know too much..I'm still really new to android.
I have followed the exact steps from this page: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16328237), but every time RSD Lite fails with the error message I listed in the original post. I have pulled the battery several times, but am unable to get past the "tap the Android" screen. Tapping it leads to no change at all. I have no access to CWM anymore, and can only access recovery from Android recovery now, which I have used to reboot a few times at this point. When I reboot, I am greeted with errors that include "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and "The application Suggestions Poll Scheduler Service (process com.motorola..suggestions.scheduler) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and "The application Calander Storage (process com.android.calendar has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I know it's somewhere in this forum, but if you brick your phone and render it useless, you can try and reflash the original SBF...not the update. Give it a shot. Just let the force closes go, but see if you can connect to your computer. Best of luck!
Thanks, but I think that's what I was doing. Maybe it was the update. Can anyone point me to the original sbf? Thanks again for the replies.
http://www.multiupload.com/FNZKNV0T3G
thats the link, u need to unzip and then mount it on RSDlite
Thank you so much. I will download now and run it. Let you know if it finally works. Thank you for the link and help.
So nothing under the sun worked at all. I ended up having to take the phone back to the retailer and received a new one. I am happy now because after two days I have a functioning phone. I still believe that my error was clearing the dalvik cache before the factory reset, but I wouldn't have done that had the Alien ROM, which I mostly liked, hadn't killed my non-wifi data reception, as in I had none. Thank you the those of you who took time out to read and post a reply to help me. I am very grateful.

Hey guys:
Yesterday I made mega mistake, I've flashed CM7 but... I didn't notice that I had to unlock the bootloader, obviously didn't work , but now, the phone is stuck on "unable to boot 2 entering RSD mode" with the Moto logo, so I tough, I will flash it again with the official Sprint update and fix the whole thing, but RSD gets to 100% restarts the phone and then phone shows just garbage! just like a blurry image, can't describe correctly but doesn't go any further. I've removed the battery start the phone again and then I get the same message "unable to boot 2 entering RSD mode". I'm on a loop right now, any advise will very appreciated, thanks'

I will certainly give it a shot. I don't remember right now which file is the one that i got, I'm at work, but took me about 2 days in a row to download the file on my 128 kbps connection... third world connection.. I know.
Something that I would like to know is, when I turn the phone on takes directly to the error, if I press power + volume up then takes me to fast boot and stays there and if I do power + volume down gives a messages for about 1 second goes away and the phone goes like dead... I have to remove the battery to get it going again. Is there anything else that I need to know?.
thanks'

you need to get into rsd mode by powering up + volume up but use rsd verion 5.5 when connecting to the computer. Then after run the sbf and wait till it asks to manually power up the phone..pull battery and ur golden.
Make sure youre fully charged and have allege drivers installed properly.

OK I know there are a ton of boot loop threads, but I can't find anything close to my problem after hours of searching, so here it goes:
My Atrix:
-2.3.6 Stock with 4.5.141
-Rooted
-(Side notes - because I'm not sure if they will be helpful:
--It had an unlocked bootloader before 2.3.6, but after the update it was locked again, I believe, as it doesn't say Unlocked in the top left corner when booting up. It's worked fine for months since the update.
--The internal SD was almost full - it only has about 30MB free, and it kept telling me it was pretty much full.)
A few days ago my Atrix just shut down while I was playing "Where's My Water?". Titanium Backup was updating itself automatically while I was playing, and when it finished was when the problem happened. A message popped up while I was playing that said "The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again --> 'Force Close' or 'Cancel'". I pressed Force Close, and the phone shut down and started boot looping.
After searching I found that com.motorola.service.main may have something to do with e-mail, but I only use Gmail and I only have 1 account.
It won't boot into safe mode, and I don't have any recovery on it that I can remember, or it won't boot into that.
The thing is that I haven't done any modding in months - since rooting after the update, so it seems extremely random.
I don't care if I lose any data, as anything I need is backed up or useless.
I just want the thing working again or having NottachTrix on it. Really I just want it to work again.
If there is any more info I can provide, I will try my best to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated!

OK if you don't care about losing data, you can wipe the phone and factory reset it like this:
1.Turn off the phone and boot into recovery
2. If you didn't have a recovery or thought you didn't, like me, when you see the triangle, exclamation point, and android dude press (and possibly hold) both volume buttons at once. (I got this tip from a Motorola guy when I called thank goodness because I thought there was no recovery...)
3. Find the option for factory reset, and them it'll delete everything.
**Do this for me first though - when you get to recovery try wiping the cache and dalvik cache and see if that doesn't fix it. Otherwise do the full reset because that worked for me. Good luck and if you have any questions hopefully I can help!
And then I put a romracer's recovery and NottachTrix 4G on, and I love it!

Hello,
I've had my S3 for over a year now and it has been mostly running great. Whenever I've had issues I tried to solve them by myself, but this time I was unable to fix my phone, so I must ask for help.
Here's what happened. I left my phone on my desk today and one of my co-workers fiddled with it. He opened SuperSU and then a message popped up saying that SU binary needs to be updated. He then choose to update it via CWM. The phone then restarted and upon starting shows the startup screen then it tries to enter the recovery, but instead it just shows it for a brief moment and then it restarts again. It keeps doing that over and over again. If I remove the battery and then insert it back again, the phone will turn on by itself and continue to reboot after failing to open CWM.
I tried to enter the recovery, but had no success. The phone did enter the Download Mode though, but flasing a ROM via ODIN will remove all of the data stored on the phone and I really need it. The phone is currently running Android Revolution HD 40.
Is there a way to get my phone operational again without loosing the data stored on it?
Thanks in advance.

First of all what are co workers doing messing with your phone I would seriously not be happy!! screen lock comes to mind!
As the above post said flash another recovery in odin I recommend Philz recovery,backup your data in recovery then factory reset if that does not work flash another rom via recovery or return to stock with odin. You can also boot into recovery with adb but I would try above first.
Then charge your co-worker for all the time wasted trying to fix phone
Thank you so much for the idea, I just tried this and it worked! After flashing new recovery via ODIN, I'm now able to access my phone. There was no need to flash the ROM again, as it was fine, the only problem was with the recovery.
And I still have my data!
Thank you very much again, cheers :laugh:

He's actually a good guy and I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. He told me that he was playing a game and he tried to add more coins using GameCIH. Then the prompt to allow root access to the app came up along with a notification to update the SU binary. He said he pressed that button by mistake. I wasn't mad at the guy, I was only upset that I may lose my data.

Having issues going back to stock.
Ok it's been awhile since I've done this so please bare with me. I'm trying to go back to stock so my husband can use this phone until he waits for his new phone.
Here are the steps I've done.
1. Power is off and I put the jig in. Goes into download mode. I plug phone into Computer.
2. Open Odin 3v1.85. Auto Boot and F. Reset Time is checked. Checked PDA and upload this - GalaxyS2Root.com_SGH-I777_UCLE5 ( Here's the link http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS2/SGH-i777/ICS/GalaxyS2Root.com_SGH-I777_UCLE5.zip )
3. Phone restarts just fine with AT&T Rethink Possible
Here's the ISSUE
4. Once it starts I see the "WELCOME" in the background and get UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROCESS ANDROID.PROCESS. whatever it says along with
GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER HAS STOPPED and so on.......
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me!
Thanks!!

No doubt you discovered that performing a wipe data/factory reset from recovery was needed.
You installed I777UCLE5, which is an older version of stock. I would strongly suggest that you install the latest stock, I777UCMD8, which you can download from the Download Repository.
Hello. I have a Sprint M9. It had been acting flaking lately (I would try to install the latest update, and it would reboot without installing and report that the phone had recovered from an error and ask if I wanted to send to HTC). Tonight, I was trying to use DLNA to play video from my phone to my TV, I was in settings and gave DLNA permission to access my storage. As soon as I did that the phone rebooted without warning and continues in a loop of displaying the HTC logo, then restarting over and over.
I can get into bootloader, download, and recovery mode by holding down the volume down key. I have tried Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data, but the phone still will not get out of the loop.
Phone is stock. I have never tried to root or disable S-on or load my own recovery.
What, if anything, can I do to get my phone working again?
Just tried doing what I think is called RUU? I downloaded the .exe from this site:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-sprint/news/
It found my phone, and rebooted into download mode. It tried to flash my rom, but shortly after trying to send the file (progress bar jumped from 0% to 100% in 1/2 second). The utility gives me a Error [155]: Unknown Error. I've tried a couple times and get the same problem each time.
The utility reports I have version 3.41.651.21 and tries to flash to 3.41.651.31
Great, now it is telling me my software has been modified. (it hasn't) The only things I've done is run the RUU and reboot into recover to clear cache/data. Bad NAND?
Well, found out why RUU wouldn't work. Low battery. Apparently it ate a lot more battery than I realized while it was in the reboot cycle. Tried manually flashing the firmware and fastboot told me the reason it was failing. C'mon HTC, if the CLI can tell me there's not enough battery to proceed, your GUI utility should be able to as well.
Still leads to the question of:
- Why did this happen in the first place
- This is actually the second time I've had a problem with OTA, with the phone thinking the system had been modified. So either the OTA failing somehow modified the system before failing, or there's a bigger issue afoot. (as noted above, this phone is stock, I've never tried to root, install a custom recovery, or anything else)

Same thing happened to me. The update that Sprint pushed last Wednesday completely bricked my HTC One M9. Same failure mode that you experienced. Sprint technical center was unable to do anything with it, so they are replacing it, allegedly ( been waiting a week for said replacement ).
I talked to a few other people who had the same problem, by the way. Someone in Sprint's QA team completely dropped the ball on this update.
Well, even after RUU it says my system has been modified and the phone will no longer boot into recovery. Just errors back to Download with the message that recovery couldn't launch.
I've also now got intermittent problems with the com.android.settings crashing. So I've thrown in the towel and purchased my first non HTC phone since the original Windows Mobile days.
Hello there. The same problem has come to my mind and the phone has been off for almost a month. Did you solve your problem? If you could solve it, how did you do it? I sent you above the original stock rom set. Nothing changed. The phone developer rum works. but the original 0pja200 rom is starting again.
my phone soft bricked, unlocked bootloader and S-off. Whether it is possible without blocking bootloader flashed RUU rom?
