Hey uh, I was taking a nap, and I woke up, and my phone was stuck in a bootloop with the cynaogen bootscreen over and over.
Then i took the battery out, and now it won't boot up, it just does the same thing.
Then I went into clockwork, and it said a bunch of stuff like this: "can't mount cache/recovery/command"
So how in the world can I fix this? I can't believe the number of problems I am still having with this phone, even with cyanogen. It is far too glitchy, and I still have a whole nother year stuck on this thing.
derp.
adb shell
reboot recovery
good day.

If you have an aosp rom there's a good chance you used by accident the 3-button method and then flashed something. I did that accidently and it happened to be my only bootloop ever lol.

I just flashed the Frankin Final rom on my vibrant and all was going well until I rebooted it and now the damn thing seems to be in a boot loop of some sort, but this is different than all others I have seen cause it goes to the samsung screen like normal and then it goes to a totally different screen that is only half size and is jumbled up and not a damn thing is readable. When I plug in my USB to the computer not only is it seen by the computer but it goes to the battery icon and then back to that screwed up - half sized screen. Please someone help.
Go back into recovery and reflash the rom you had installed previously. Or do a nand backup. You did back it all up before you flashed v4 as you should have, right?
I do have it backed up from v3 but it wont even get recognized by adb nor odin. Its the strangest friggin boot loop I have ever seen. When the vibrant screen goes blank then the strange unreadable screen comes on for about 2 seconds and then the vibrant screen comes on and thats over and over. I do have a hardware locked phone so I guess I will have to screw with it when I get home. I did have it in download mode but now I can't even get it to that. Is that USB that came with the phone the only usb that can be used when getting into download mode as I had no troubles at home but I am using my USB from my nexus one at work and its all screwed up.
Did you mean DON'T have a hardware locked vibrant?
I got it about a 2 months ago so I don't know if its locked or not.
Heres what happened in detail.
I rebooted via Rom Manager into the stock recovery.
I installed packages as I have the clockworkmod recovery as update.zip in my 14G sd
I backed up my current Frankin ver3 rom
I erased all userdata and such like I should when flashing a new rom.
I installed the Frankin Final Update
I rebooted the phone like normal and the BAM.
A never ending boot loop that wont even get recognized by my computer.
I cant even plug it into charge as it won't stop bootlooping. the
battery charging icon comes up but then it goes to that funky ass
screen and back to the charging icon. when I unplug the charger it
switches to the Vibrant screen and then the messed up screen. I
really think its bricked as its gotta be the boot image that is
screwed up.
I am very sorry if I am wasting your time on this as I do know how to
properly flash a rom on a phone but this phone is not like my G1 nor
my Nexus. Its about as flaky as a phone can get in my opinion and had
I known it was this flaky I never wouldve gotten the damn thing. I
guess I am going to Tmobile and tellin them the OTA update did this as
there is no way in hell to tell. Not even the splash screen comes up.
Its really bricked.
I just wanted to say that this website and you all developers are the BEST people I have ever followed. This is the very first post I have made and I really do think I f--ked big time. No matter, what you all have done for the G1 and Nexus blows my mind. I never owned a iphone and never will and I think I might say the same about this vibrant. Getting the Nexus bricked is nearly impossible but this Vibrant is to damn confusing and with the lag fixes and crap that I am leary about goin to the store and replacing mine with a new one. Wish me luck.
You may want to try loading Eugene's Froyo Rom that does not brick. Once that is done, try and install Frankin Twiz.
I tried and when the computer won't even read the connection all is bricked. good news though, I went to the tmobile store last night and showed the guy what happened after a OTA Update. he was totally understanding about it. He said it was the white screen of death and that I will have another shipped out the following day. Thanks again for all your help and especially the moderator for putting up with my crap. You all are the bomb-diggity.
I always just boot into recovery and flash say Vibrant7 that always seems to work for me. From there I flash whatever other rom I want.
Recovery meaning
Hold down your Vol + and -
Push Power.
Actually I get scared that I might screw things up by entering recovery through clockwork ( laugh at that now huh) so I always went to the stock recovery and updated my packages with the clockwork recovery file that was named update.zip. I think I had a issue with my phone from the get go as it never would enter download mode unless I was connected to only my samsung charger and no others. I tell ya it was a strange phone and to top it all of the tmobile dude showed me a g2 they had in stock. Nice phone I tell ya but it ain't no Nexus one. Thanks again for all your help guys. Keep the little green dude alive.
Today i woke up to the new Update for the vibrant. So of course i tried to update it. My phone is rooted if that makes a difference running everything else stock though. I did the one click root or whatever it was. Well i clicked update and sat my phone down as i got ready. Come back its at the boot screen where it says Vibrant and Samsung in white. I figured it was just loading the new files and just taking a little long. Well by the time i got to school it was still like that so i removed the battery so it would not overheat. Replaced the battery booted up and stalled on boot screen again. This time it made the opening music but never transitioned screens. So i took battery out replaced it and went into clockwork and did a nandroid. Reset it same thing happened. Tried that with three of my backups of previous dates. all failed. so i decided to wipe all data of the phone or factory reset. still stuck at boot screen.
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. if you need any other information just let me know.
same thing here. i've done all those steps. when i get home, im going to try and update the JI6 update through ODIN. i'll let you know what happens.
Common problem, easy solution..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
Have been rooting Androids for a while and have been about to solve all my problems by doing research and finding the solution... first time i actaully am stumped...
I have a HTC EVO 4G LTE, second one i had the first the microphone went bad, i rooted it just like the last one and it was running fine. I deleted a few system apps such as sprint music, friend stream, tunein radio, and an HTC app. forget what that was. but now my, at work today, keep restarting randomly and died very quickly. when i finally got a chance to charge it, it hung on a boot loop and then entered the system about 45 minutes later. and then quickly reset back into the boot loop, i have at least 25% battery at this point. it continues to cycle through this for the next 4 hours. i tried to just shut the system off but after like 10 minutes it would start the boot loop again and since i work at radioshack trying to fix it there really wasn't an option. I did try to boot into twrp and do a factory reset how ever when i attempted to boot in it just froze at the HTC screen and then reset into the boot loop.
Once i got home i relocked the bootloader and did a hardreset... to no prevail... it continued to reset i even took my memory card and then that seemed to solve it... i put the back cover on without the memory card and it almost instantly reset and continued through the boot loop until i removed the back cover again. i don't know to much about the making of this back cover but it does seem to have three sensers to know it if it on or off, i am assuming... i tried installing stock recovery and taken off root. the only thing i haven't does is a completely stock OS reset through an ruu... and if i do that i am taking the phone back to sprint and getting another new one... does anyone have any ideas? and if this same thing is posted somewhere i am sorry, i have searched and tried everything i found and so far aside from the stock reset nothing has really worked. i factory reset from system, fastboot, and twrp (it loaded only once). I did relock the oem and did uninstall root. removed micro sd and formated internal memory. any other suggestions
i would just run RUU.. if it still giving u problems take it to sprint.. if u runn a RUU and it goes away just root it again start fresh.,. thats what i would do
Thanks EVO. I did end up running ruu and when it completed it started the boot loop again. Almost all night and ended up heating the phone up to the point I just booted into bootloader so it would stop. It continued this morning. But here's the part I wanna know... I pulled the back cover off for sh*ts and giggles and it booted right up. I am actually posting from it. I am afraid to put the back cover on...
Soo... I confirmed it was the back. I used the phone to post that. Made several calls to sprint and talked to ny mother... Phone was fine. Replaced back, phone froze and went into boot loop until the back cover was removed.... Why though?...
soo... it looks like i wont be needing any help with this phone... as it has completely died..... won't even try to power on. well sprint see you tomorrow at noon!
Hello all....so I've got an issue with a friend of mine's HTC Rezound.
The thing, all of a sudden one day, wouldn't boot back into the OS. I either hangs at the HTC screen or it gets to the beats boot animation and hangs right there. No further. This was a stock phone. So far, I've been able to unlock the phone via HTCdevs.com, and install Amon Ra's recovery. Prior to this, hboot and fastboot were all I had. Recovery from stock wouldn't boot at all, and factory reset didn't do anything either. Custom recovery let me get in, to where I could flash an RUU or 2, and still, no luck. I've wiped the whole phone, and even reformatted all partitions, then installed 2 different RUU's on it, wiping both times before proceeding. I own a Gnex myself, so I'm no newb to flashing and things.
No matter what, the phone never will boot past the beats logo. Sometimes it only makes it to the start of the "b" curling up, sometimes it makes it to the circular "b" logo, sometimes just will sit at HTC before rebooting. Phone hasn't been wet, and was working fine, prior to this. Battery has been completely discharged as well. Tried booting without the back cover on, as if this were a network bootloop, but still same issue persists. Anybody got any ideas I can try? Considering I've tried different RUU's, and still can't get this thing to rock, wondering what could be causing it. Let me know, down below!
Bump
Hello guys, I have a serious predicament that needs to be solved.
I haven't did anything major to my phone in years so the past couple days have been a nightmare. Ever since I did a wipe of cache partition after trying to get rid of this "unfortunately, contacts stopped working." message, it's sent my phone into a spiraling disaster. (I have been using stock 5.0 rooted rom for at least a year so idk why the sudden issues)
I've literally tried every method imaginable. I even tried flashing with different versions of Odin and still the exact same problems.
I can get my phone into DL mode easily but Recovery mode only works if I have the phone plugged in at this point (Actually, it seems like the only time when my phone wants to work)
Every time I'm done flashing, it'll load all the way up to the T-Mobile screen then restart the loop all over again :/
Really need help seeing as I need to get this situation handled before work today, thanks!
Nevermind, after more research, I decided to order a new battery and the problem is solved.
Bootloop solved with replacement battery

A replacement battery also solved my boot loop issue. Prior to replacement, it would boot to Galaxy S5 screen, and then reboot. Replaced battery and boots. Put the old battery back in, and it boot looped.
