Hello,
I was working with a rom (eclipse) and must have done something wrong, I do have a nandroid back up on my sd card and I also saved it to my pc.
The problem is that now my phone is in a bootloop and I dont know how to restore with nandroid.
Does anyone know how to restore with a nandroid when the phone is in a bootloop?
Any help is appreciated.
If it's in a bootloop, you'll more than likely have to sbf.

Turn Off Phone. Plug Your Charger Into The Wall. Plug The Phone Into The Charger. Let The Charger Turn On The Phone Don't Manually Power On. It Should Bring Up The CWM Screen. If It Doesn't After 5 Minutes, It's In Need Of An SBF.
if you can't get it into recovery, you need to sbf, then re root, and bootstrap. then you can restore your nandroid. had to do that twice with my OG.
I was able to fix the bootloop with a battery pull then doing a fast boot and selecting restore. It did not go back into 2.2.2 instead I was still with gingerbread and still rooted. Then I tried installing the rom again and this time it.worked.
Sometimes when it bootloops after installing eclipse if you pull the battery and then after putting it back boot into regular recovery ( hold power and vol down then cycle to it with vol down button) and do a data wipe everything may come up, new I.stall and all. I do see you have it fixed but if it ever happens again (hold it will) then try this first, it has worked for me more than once.
Im curious as to how long u were in a bootloop. As it took my phone quite some time to load past the boot screen after new eclipse for first boot. Patience before people just go pulling batteries.

True! It took a long time for me as well. Only pulled battery after I got the DROID eye and it kept starting over there.

First boots after flashing always take a while whilst the os builds cache etc.

My phone was running at about 60% battery last night, and working fine. It was in my pocket and it vibrated. I was unable to turn it on or reboot it, even after removing the battery. I tried using the battery from my wife's S2 but still no luck. I tried connecting the power supply but it still wouldn't boot so I left it charging overnight.
This morning it alternately flashed a fully green battery and a fully black battery. If I press and hold the power button it starts the boot process - I get past the Samsung splash screen and see the first "Resurrection Remix" splash screen, but then it reverts to displaying the green battery.
Any ideas for how I can revive the phone??

Ok We cant say its bricked!! Because its booting up but not coming to homescreen rite? Are u able to get into recovery or download mode?? If ur able o then wipe the data cache and dalvik cache, reinstall the ROM again.. If Recovery doesnt shw up.. Then Use ODIN to flash original fw!! Even if u still couldn get it.. Order a USB JIG from Ebay and try getting into DOWNLOAD MODE!! Even after this its still working means ITS BRICKED !!
Start download mode and the flash a new stock firmware . And your phone isnt bricked .!
This is why I always make a backup.
If you can get into download mode you can fix it, if you can't it's a service centre job. Pretty simple really.
Try cleaning charging port..

Uh oh...I managed to get into Recovery mode, did a factory reset and kicked off a re-install of the Resurrection Remix ROM from the external SD and it's hung at 50% (for 10 mins now) - at the "Extracting /system..." stage. I daren't interrupt it.
Any ideas???
Yes stop messing
1: If you dint have to save anything, wipe better to full wipe
Flash a stock Rom using Odin, than start again with custom roms.
OR
2: download your custom Rom again and flash, might be corrupt download.

So it's OK to interrupt this ROM flash, even though it's stuck at 50%? Should I just hold the power button or remove the battery??
pull the battery
But I say flash stock Rom first, lengthy procedure I know, but safer
OK I decided to reflash RR 2.3, which had been running fine for a couple of weeks previously. Immediately after flashing (which worked OK) the boot process wouldn't complete - it got as far as the RR splash screen then died (screen blank, and needed a long press on the power button to restart).
This happened several times. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery and it finally booted.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I've noticed that the phone often runs quite warm, but I don't know if that's normal.
You have to flash stock rom, only way to know if there is something wrong with your phone, run it for couple days.
Now to the heat issue, it is due to
1: modem
2: kernel
3: both
Hello.
I have a i9100 smartphone with stock XWLSW firmware. After last change of firmware I did not even root it. So it was all stock without root.
My battery was already in bad condition - from 9 AM till 2-4 PM it gets to 15%.
But anyway.
Yesterday it discharged to 1%, when I plugged charger into the phone. I left it working, and after a while I tried to turn the screen on, but the phone was not responding to power key. It was not turning on the screen, and long hold did not turn the phone on.
I unplugged the charger, took out battery and saw a small wet spot on sticker and on battery (maybe it leaked a bit).
Well, it was not the first priority at the moment, so I just wiped it, and put the battery back, then I turned the phone back ON.
It started, but now I have a boot loop at Samsung Logo. When the battery was still discharged I could hear the discharge signal after logo, and then the logo starts again, and discharge signal again, etc.
I left it in that state for a night with charger plugged in. In the morning - it was in the same condition.
Things I tried:
Removing battery for over 10 minutes, clearing Cache from recovery.
Both recovery and download modes are working.
So the question is - can I restore the phone without Factory reset?
If not - can I somehow backup my data (savegames, etc) before doing factory reset?
I just tried to update the firmware again using ODIN with no luck. It updated successfully, but than again hangs on Samsung Logo.
Rule 1: Don't complain until you haven't tried factory reset.So be a man,and do a full wipe.
^^^^
What he said. Also, flash a 3 part firmware, which will also wipe your phone & has a funny habit of fixing situations like this.
I was going to do a Factory Reset or flash 3 part firmware, but only after I backup data. That was my main point of creating this thread - how to backup data in this situation.
Anyway, I did install Philz kernel, wiped dalvik cache, cache partition - it helped, but not for long. I saw my desktop, but after few seconds it went into boot loop again. I then did a Custom backup of data only, and did a Factory Reset through recovery.
Now I try to restore data to see what it will give me.
So i have been having pretty much the same problem with some little differences.
First my battery seems OK, no leaking no nothing, but it might just got old as I've got the phone for over 2 years now... Second, my bootloop occurs after full discharge, when i try to turn on the phone afterwards it just gets stuck on Galaxy SII logo, not even the boot, and stays that way no matter how long i wait. Third, at about the last 5-8% my screen starts flickering as if it wasn't getting enough electricity which shouldnt happen too and never happend before 4 months or so.
So lastly I've been getting this bootloop every now and then. Ive got a temporary fix by backing up my phone through recovery then wiping it clean and then restoring. But i just cant figure out why it does that.... I mean wipe helps, but i do restore everything afterwards....
Without restoring the problem still occurs so its not like i restore something deffective in the sw that makes this happen...
My Razr is 3 years old, was running super slowly (like 15 mins to unlock it), so I figured I would wipe it and rom it. I've done this before, mostly with my OG Droid back in the day, but not on my Razr. So, I rooted it, did a factory reset (backed up everything to my pc first), installed safestrap, told me it wasn't actually rooted, so I did the rooting process again, worked. got in safestrap, wiped, wiped dalvik cache, system, cache, data, created a partition, swapped to that, installed LiquidSmooth, rebooted phone (as per the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782971), and now I just get the motologo then a black screen. I can get into the built in recovery, tried wiping the cashe and doing a factory reset there, changed nothing. I don't know how to use abd, but I'm downloading a utility for it (Droid Razr Utility), any ideas on what I need to do? I installed liquidsmooth off my sd card, not sure if that is where I ****ed up though. If I take the SD card out, the phone wont even give me the moto logo. When left on the charger, it just sits at the moto logo, it never goes away. Just sits there, screen on. AP Fastboot says "Battery Low" and Matts utilities fails to flash. It wont charge when I plug it in, just sits at the moto logo.
Thanks for the help guys!

It happens to me every time my battery charge reach zero, and looks like becomes a common problem, here also.
If you are able to boot in safestrap, do it, then plug the phone in and wait until safestrap shows 20-30 % battery charge! After that reboot and wait the OS to boot normally. The phone needs a OS to charge, but will charge while is under safestrap.
If you can't boot in safestrap. Charge the phone for about two hours (it will show m logo) unplug it and reboot with power + vol. up + vol. down! The phone should pass through m logo to safestrap, and you will be able to charged it under safestrap.

It never goes past the M logo, I can't get into safestrap. If I could, I would be able to change to my safe partition and boot, but I can't. It's like its stuck trying to boot into a partition with a failed flash on it. Using recovery to factory reset isn't helping at all. And because the battery is now low (it was 100% when I started this, RAZRs just die SUPER fast), Matts Utility wont flash it.

It's been "charging" for 12 hours now, still says "Battery low" in AP Fastboot. Still can't flash it. When I try to normal boot, I still just get the M and then it goes to a black screen.

You can normally boot only once in the short period after unplugging the phone and only if the phone is charged enough - about two hours. You need to be patient, everything you doing with the phone while it charges can brake the magic. After normally booting to safestrap quickly plug the phone again to charge.
Also charge the phone only in the network not by usb.
If this method fails only way to charge the phone enough to flash it with Matts Utilities is via factory cable.
I have 4.4.4 KK SlimROm with Dorimanx latest kernel (Without TRIM). Recently I bought a new extended battery fully charged it and let it discharge fully once. It was s tip for a new lithium batteries on one of the first sites on google search. After that the battery wouldn't charge at all for a few hours (Stuck on 0%) but the phone could be turned fully on. I remembered that once i saw in the recovery advanced options something about battery statistic refresh or something like that and went looking for it in the recovery, didn't find anything, didn't change anything, when I exited the recovery mode it told me the root was lost and if I want to root my phone, I chose yes, then it booted to download mode for some reason, turned my phone off and it stated to charge. I was happy until I tried to turn it on. Its starting too boot, after the Samsung logo it gets to Dorimanx logo and gets stuck there, cant access Recovery or Download mode. Searched the web didn't find anything with a solution only dead threads with no answers.
Please help, I don't have money for a new phone and I waited for this Amazon battery to get here 3 month :"(
TLDR;
Discharged battery wont charge, after it started to charge stuck on kernel loading screen, cant access Download or Recovery Mode. Pls help.
After a few days I found a solution. Here it is to people who has the same problem.
Remove battery, sim, sdcard, before you pluck the battery back hold vol down, pluck it in, power phone, and it should go to download mode.
If not try power+vol down+home, power+vol down or power+home+both volume as you pluck the battery or the same combinations as you pluck in the USB cable to the phone connected to the PC. a few tries should get you here, it was my 5th on with USB and first with holding vol down before plucking the battery back.
Download Odin
download JB rom form http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware/Download/133
download recovery from here http://galaxys2root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/
follow instructions on how to install rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
Install the ROM via Odin(If by chance like me you will disconnect while installing the ROM and cant connect back or stuck on setup connection, just remove the battery for a few minutes and try again, exiting and starting Odin again recommended), after that install recovery, nothing will load but check if you can go to recovery, if yes, just install the same ROM you had from recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, install same kernel, wipe cache, dalvik, it should work with some errors popping, just sync and back up everything you need and reinstall fresh.
Hope it helped.
