hi guys,
my problem is that i unlocked my bootloader with nandroid/www.goapk.com's recovery, an after AT&T's OTA push from v2.3.4 to v2.3.6 i am stuck in a "boot up, shut down for applying update, stuck in update process, take battery out, restart, boot up, auto-shut down for applying update...." loop...
now i know that "somewhere" in android is a batch command to automatically shut down and apply the patch.
HOW AND WHERE can i prevent the automatic shutdown after boot-up, so i can fix this mess myself ?
thx-a-thon in advance
cheers
I am in the same mess.
Update: Reboot into recovery format the /cache partition and back to normal again.
Same problem here. Any fix?
EDIT: I think I'm going to try reflashing stock 2.3.4 via fastboot, then flash the stock recovery (I heard CWM is what's making the OTA update fail), and then try the 2.3.6 OTA again.
Ok, I managed to fix it without flashing anything. If you've got CWM recovery installed, boot into it and clear both caches. That fixed it for me.
awesome!!!!
the trick with deleting both cache's worked! wiped dalvik cache and "wipe/reformat cache partition" in my nandroid recovery. if you got a donation button i will send money your way for a beer :-D

Nah, it's cool. Keep your beer money
Just pass on the solution to anyone else having issues.
Running aurora on my atrix and was stuck in the same situation after I finally got tired of the update popping up and decided to let it try and fail. I got stuck in the same cycle of boot, restart, fail update, take battery out, over and over (of course trying other things.. not insane)
Wiping cache fixed the problem. Phone rebooted and I got a message saying the update failed and to try it again, no more annoying push.
Thanks guys.

Hi Guys,
Please give me step by step procedure.
1. I did system update.
2. Phone has restarted and i'm getting aopk.com image.
I tried even removing the battery and inserted again. from this thread, I have inferred that clearing cache will work. Please help me to clear the cache and help me to bring back my mobile alive.
Thanks in Advance!
Sriram
Srirammobile: please provide details, rom, bootloader locked/unlocked, rooted?
you'll need cwm recovery for atrix to be able to resolve things with less hassle. Search the dev section for the proper romracer cwm image.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Can you please tell me how to wipe both the catch? I have rooted Atrix 4G and ROM manager installed. Yesterday I got OTA update and after downloading the update when phone restarted then it stuck at 'failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode' message. Pulling the battery boots the phone again but it restarts again and this is happening in loop. After phone restart I am getting only a little time to open any application.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

hi MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
I HAVE A MB860 BELL FLASHED WITH avatar-cm10-unofficial-motorola-olympus-v1.1
WHAT I SEE IS MASK WITH SWIRL AND ITS RUNNING FROM 23 HRS
I HAVE TRIES TO SWITCH BACK TO OTHER ROM WHICH I SUCCESSFULLY DID BUT I WANT TO TRY THIS ONE I HAVE DONE ALL STEPS LIKE WIPING USER DATA > DEVLIK CACHE WIPE.>BATTERY STATS CLEAR> BUT ITS NOT FLASHING PROPERLY

Yesterday I unplugged my phone and it wouldn't start. Had to take out battery and SD card to get it to eventually start, but it hung on the HTC white screen.
I can access the clockwork recovery screen, and have even been able to load previous backups and new roms to see if anything will work, but it won't let me get past that white HTC screen.
I feel like I'm close because I can still access the recovery menu, but something's up. So I have a few questions that if anyone can answer I will appreciate more than you know.
1) Is there a way to unroot my phone from the recovery menu/PC access so I can get it replaced by Verizon if it is a hardware problem? I know, I know, I did it to myself, but if there's a way out, I'll take it.
2) What are RUU files and would they somehow fix this? I am not against unrooting and going back to stock, especially after this scare.
3) As of now I have DasBampf 1.8.6 and MR2 radio on the phone. Will the RUU remove these and flash a whole new Radio/ROM? Again, I know I'm an idiot, but I need help. Help me Obi Wan!
4) I'll check back if anyone needs more info. BTW, the phone only boots into recovery *power+down volume* Won't turn on manually. I've tried another SD card, I've tried other ROMS. I have NOT tried any new radios yet, as I'm scared to accidentally brick it.
Thanks in advance.
go into bootloader (when it's off hold power button and volume down until white screen pops up) wait for it to check your sd card, then click wipe data. it should boot up after its done wiping the data, if not you might have to select reboot in recovery.
RUU update.
I flashed the 2.11.605.5 build of the new RUU. It started out fine, and then it failed at user data, system, and one other. Now it's still in the same hanging screen. What the hell!?
Please help me before I **** this thing up even more.
OTA updates are the DEVIL!!!!!! You people need to block them and stop installing the unrooted version while you are rooted with no reguard to your phones safety. If you are rooted install the rooted version of the OTA.
If I helped please use the thank you button and donate a free account to my dropbox http://db.tt/uDc7iw7x
I didn't read the op but if its hanging on htc screen with new ota try flashing the radio the new ota has or an older one. Had that issue with my EVO.
The wrong radio will cause your phone to never pass htc screen.

Haven't tried anything new yet, but besides one time this morning, I can't even get to the bootloader. Won't turn on, even with a spare charged working battery. Time to call Verizon and maybe eat the payment, methinks.
Update for anyone interested.
I got onto IRC and contacted Jcase, who had me flash a new RUU, which seemed to fix the problem.
HOWEVER, my phone is still FUBAR, as it shuts off periodically and will not allow me to call out. I managed to go through the entire unroot process and got my phone back to original status. I have a replacement coming from Verizon soon and although I think it's a hardware problem with my phone, I don't think I'll be rooting again anytime before my warranty expires. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hey guys, I was trying to unroot my thunderbolt but jacked things up. I had it wipe all date, now will not boot Its still rooted. When i go into the reboot mood its by Revolutionary. Info it displays where it gives me options of fastboot, recover, factory reset, simlock, hboot usb and image crc is

Idk if that helps. It doesnt reboot or does a looping process. Just stays at the white htc screen and doesnt say anything, and is not the screen where it says htc quietly brilliant. When i go into recovery 4ext recovery touch is whats available, current rom:unknown. Im fairly new so i would greatly appreciate any help, I like this phone alot and would hate to use something else. I dont care if after everything is said and done its still rooted or not. I have my personal info still on my card and a backup on my computer so im safe on that and dont care if i lose everything on the phone. Also i did not try to do the ota update.
Because you wiped all your data to ahead and wipe cache and dalvik cache and system. Then flash another rom.

If you dont me asking, is there a step process you can suggest or point me to? Idk how to flash the rom and am new to this scene.
When flashing a rom. Wipe caches (cache and dalvik cache), wipe data (most of the time I recommend doing this), and system/boot partitions. Then after wiping all of those choose the option to flash a rom( I haven't used clockworkmod recovery in ages and I don't remember what they list that option as). When the installation is completed reboot and if all goes well you should be running a custom rom of your choosing. I would suggest you ditch cwm for 4ext recovery just as soon as you can. Cwm has some unusual bugs where the caches may not be properly wiped and your rom won't boot because of this.

I know back in the EVO days of no 4EXT Virus had a SuperWipe. It would wipe everything 3 times in CWM. If you are persistent to keep CWM you might want to try that... I think I have it somewhere I can make compatible for the Thunderbolt. But it is highly recommended to use 4EXT instead.
I had it at one point too but wiping 3x or 10x just to flash a rom is ridiculous.

I rooted my phone using REVOLUTIONARY and my phone keeps rebooting after about 30 seconds of being fully booted up. When it reboots I imagine it is trying to run an update. I currently have the Stock ROM installed and running 2.2.1. How should I handle this? My phone does not stay booted long enough to check the files on my SD card. I have searched the forums and I apologize if this has already been answered but I have not found it.
Pull the SD card out and check it on a computer if you have an usb adapter

Could also view the files by mounting the sdcard while in recovery through your computer.
having the same issues as OP
rooted with stock rom. wondering which files i should be looking for if i can mount the phone to computer to view and why i would be looking for them
this is my wifes phone. it was working better and more stable than mine. today at 10am i guess verizon sent a msg on her phone to update and it said 3minutes or ignore and i guess she let it wind down to 3m
now the phone reboots after 30s or so of being on. i tried removing the sd card. after it was removed i booted up with the same result.
it boots into recovery mode after a couple restarts. i did not make a backup because i figured - hey, stock rom i should have no problem doh
any suggestions
If you can get in recovery, install a stock/rooted on her phone. Shouldn't have to clear data. Just clear cache and dalvik. If it still reboots you'll have to clear all.

I had this same issue and all I had to do was clear the cache and dalvik. Then I rebooted and backed up with Ti BU. Then installed a new rom.
Thanks for info, works fine now

I did the unroot method here:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...brick-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-android-2-3-6/
And everything seemed to workout fine until i got to the Samsung/Rethink Possible Boot loop. It's been boot looping for about 15 minutes now so that's why im worried.
I even tried removing he battery and going back to download mode and flashing a newer version of the tar provided in that link and to no avail, the same boot loop.
I can access download mode for sure.
Can anyone help? Im just trying to go to stock, update to ICS, and root. But id be happy if i could just get unrooted and back to stock.
I have a basic understanding of rooting/flashing because ive been doing it since the G1 days. But i have soft bricked every phone ive had. lol.

a quicker less stressful way would be to
wipe factory data reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe system
wipe internal sdcard *AFTER BACKING UP YOUR FILES!*
fix permissions
connect to pc and transfer a rom zip and gapps
clean clean install

First of all, I'm no pro at this stuff but I feel your pain.
It sounds like you are getting stuck in a boot loop of sorts.
What I would do if I was you, after flashing a rom, go back into Recovery mode on the phone and clear out the cache partion, wipe Dalvik cache, and then wipe data/factory reset. After that, reboot your phone - it should start up normally. This is what I do to my phone to get it to function as it should.
Hope that helps
i went in to the advance tab and formatted everything hahah.. it juts wiped and odin back to stock again bout to wipe it and try to odin root see if i can get it done. worth a try ive tried to much stuff im bout to take phone out get my 338 tape to a zombie target and have some fun!

Agreed ...
When returning to stock via Odin ...you must reboot into your recovery and wipe data and factory reset the device prior to rebooting.
Even though you wiped prior to flashing the stock Odin .tar image.
These devices stay dirty even after wiping data on occasion ...g

oh really? wow i didnt even think about that im wiping again and flashing odin to stock but this time after it boots i will wipe factory reset. then root factory reset and fix permissions. thank for the help!
Always welcome ....
Fixing permissions is overlooked a lot ...
And the wrong permissions will cause FC's all over the build ..
I always fix permissions after any flash or modification ....it's just a good habit to get into ...IMHO ...g
I have installed Blackout ICS Incredible v3.1.0 for HTC Desire HD. After successfully rooting the device, with Advance Ace Hack Kit, I installed the ROM. The installation went nice, but at the first reboot, it stucks at the HTC screen and stays there.
What should I do now? How can I fix this problem?
I thought to get back at my last Android Version(but I don't have a backup, I have to take a fresh one) and try installing again.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
Dan Constantin

I didn't know that it can take up to 30 minutes, I thought something was wrong. I will keep waiting. Till then, here is the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531218
It has been 40 minutes and I am still waiting. I think something is not wrong. Any suggestions?
Did you full wipe before flashing it?

Yes, I have performed a full wipe. Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache. Also, the install had the option of the full wipe, I did that too. It still stucks at the first boot in the white HTC screen. Someone told me that I may have used a newer/older type of boot that my phone doesn't support, but he couldn't give me any more details.
Here are the steps that I have done for the ROM:
1. installed Advance Ace Hack Kit
2. went into bootloader
3. went to recovery
4. from those menus, I wiped data/factory reset, cache
5. again, from those menus, I choosed advanced and wiped dalvik cache
6. from the mount menu, I mounted /system
7. the final step was to choose which zip to install
On the installation, I also did the full wipe, as I said, and after copying the files, I receive a message that my ICS has successfully installed and the option to reboot. At the reboot, I get a white screen with HTC in the middle and it freezes there. For hours (I left it from last night till this morning).
What's next?
