Before anyone jumps down my throat with search before posting, I've been searching for two days trying to fix this.
I'll go over what I've done, and what I'm trying to do now to fix it.
First, I rooted using gingerbreak, then installed CWM. Getting root seemed to take a couple tries before it worked. CWM seemed to install normally.
I got stuck in a reboot loop somewhere along the line. I tried "factory reset" from cwm a couple times, but this didn't reset any of the data on the phone. Then I tried reset from within the OS, I think this fscked something.
Then I tried to install xionia recovery, and now I'm stuck in this situation ..
I turn the phone on, LG logo, some kind of "Android recovery", yellow text on black bg,
Android System Recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!!
Formatting DATA:
Formatting CACHE:
Factory reset...
Rebooting...
Then it reboots. HOW CAN I STOP THIS REBOOT? I might be able to get somewhere if I could.
If I use an infinite loop to adb shell, I can get in and get a root prompt, however it is only there for around 500ms before rebooting!!
while [ 1 ] ; do adb shell ; done
error: device not found
(repeats)
~ #
~ # HAHAHAH **** YOU I'M REBOOTING NOW!
Yea. So... anyone have any ideas? =(
My next project is flashing my Evo 4G to use it with this VM device's service, on that problem I'm stuck at finding drivers for diag mode... :/

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I made a Radio update to version 63.18.55.06_6.35.07.08. I made it putting the update.zip (radio rom) file in the SD Card.
All worked fine until the htc hero restarted (after appears the box with the orange arrow). Thereafter the Hero only shows the Hero logo when I turn on.
I tried to init the fastboot pressing home+power and home+back+power buttons (without SD Card and without SIM card) but always the result is the same, the logo appears and nothing happens.
The computer doesn't detects the Hero's USB connection and I can't run adb commands because it raises the "device not found" error.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance!
Did you let the screen with the box run its course?
Did the recovery console come back up saying formatting cache?
Have you tryed holding just back+power? ive never heard of using back+home+power
And also, i think your supposed to enter recovery with the sd in.
If that works then in that state is should be found by adb.
But yes, as the poster before me said, it should show the "unpacking" image, and then it should reboot. It should then go straight back into the recovery and the recovery will format the cache. If you tryed to turn it off at any point then, then something is badly mucked up. But it isnt bricked, and probably can be saved. Its only bricked when no logos at all come up on boot. If you managed to get it reconised by adb, you could probs format the cache manualy, though i dont know the command
All the previous steps after the breack are as you say, but after the "unpacking" image, the htc hero restarted and showed the hero logo instead the correct menu.
The problem with the adb is that the computer doesn't recognize the htc hero across usb. When I write the adb command ("adb devices") doesn't displays any device, and I can't run any adb shell for the same reason. How can I run any adb command if the device isn't recognized by the computer?
Have you tryed just taking the battery out, waiting 30 seconds, putting it back in, then booting the phone holding back+power?
And adb is very strange i find... Sometimes it reconises a phone, sometimes it doesnt, for no apparent reason. Have you tryed leaving it on the hero logo for a while then running adb commands?
If he has flashed, wouldnt the USB Debugging setting be reset also, wouldnt this be why he cannot access via adb.
Hi.
I habe exactly the same problem. I have updated radion.
Now ther come only the T-Mobile Logo and that's all.
I can not enter neither Recovery Mode nor fasbtoot does do something.
Any suggestions?
Lado
this problem shud be fixed asap because i think its a threat for all hero modders and owners as our phones get killed at anytime with this process. so guys lets try to find a solution for this problem. cheers
Updated Radio to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and it killed my hero.
first the box with the orange arrow came up and then the whole phone died... now it wont even turn on the screen.
please fix?????????????????
I had the box with the orange arrow yesterday after flashing radio.
The phone isn't dead, I think it's just working.
I kinda paniced also when it happend but I got into recovery eventually.
When you flash a radio it does not actually install that image until your first boot (when you see that phone out the box image).
At this point DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE PHONE just wait and it will install the image and reboot for you. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES.
If you turn it off or otherwise interrupt this process it can really mess up your phone. however the general rule is so long as you can see the HTC logo when you turn on i.e. it still turns on you can in theory always recover, its just a matter of finding the way that works.
Hi, i've a strange (but i hope common and resolvable) problem.
After all, i say that i searched through the forum (with the search function) but with the solution that i found and tried i didn't solve anything.
I start saying that i got a p500 with a broken sdcard reader board (it simply doesn't have a microsd 'cause doesn't recognize).
That phone some days ago just shut down and went stuck on the LG Logo.
I tried at first the hard reset (home+vlm down+pwr), nothing happens.
I tried then the recovery mode and try to update with lg updater, and didn't work, lg doesn't recognize the phone on the updater (but on the main screen of the BBc app does).
The last thing that i noticed is that one time, powering on the phone, button's leds flashed about 4-5 times. but if i try to re-do the action, doesn't get anymore.
I would know if there is another way to exit from this stuck-screen.
I also post the log of error i get from kdz:
Upgrade error
WParam: 100
LParam: 500
Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/4SECdaT4
Other things i forgot to say:
I don't need to shake the phone, if kdz doesn't detect, i take off the battery, and turn on the phone in emergency mode (up+back+pwr).
Sometimes kdz works without that error, but it reboots the phone and it stucks again in the lg silver logo.
I read about a wipe of /system through adb, but if i try to mound /system, i get the command list.
I can't do adb devices, doesn't detect the phone, and in sequence to this, can't open the adb shell.
any suggestion?
You recovery got corrupt when it was stuck on LG logo, which could be easily solved by fastboot method of recovery flashing.
I was on the same situation like you are on now. Now follow this:
Try booting into fastboot mode by pressing "Power+ home buttons"
If it does then notify me here or at PM.
Between this is not the appropriate section for this thread.
I tried to fastboot, i did fastboot erase recovery and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img commands, no errors, but when i type fastboot reboot, on the screen i read: rebooting the device, but it doesn't reboot. If i take off the usb cable, (after a big time, 10 mins for example), a --suspend-- appears.
if i take off the battery, the lg logo is stuck again, and if i do home+vol down+pwr the clockwork mod doesn't appear.. any suggestion?
See your PM

Hello xda,
Basically, I am stuck on booting screen. All I see is that blue cyanogen boy. Dammit. I feel so miserable now. I tried everything to solve this problem, yet without any progress. I think I know where the problem is, I forgot to wipe the data and cache before I began installing the Cyanogenmod.
Stuff I tried (the goal was to wipe all the data):
1. Can't get into recovery mode
2. Can get into download mode, yet odin doesn't recognize the device or something
3. Tried to wipe all the data with adb, using adb shell --wipe_data, it says /sbin/sh: --wipe_data: not found
Can anybody please help me? If you need some more details, let me know down in the comments
My wife was using her phone (completely stock, no mods whatsoever) and it started shutting down processes (contacts, calendar, etc). She held the power button down to manually shutdown and then rebooted shortly after. The next day, it started to do it again, so she did the same thing only this time it stuck on the "M" logo screen. When she brought it home, I held the power & vol down buttons in for 2 minutes and the phone began to reboot but still stuck on the "M" logo screen.
I began searching vigorously online for a solution and have tried everything. **NOTE** - I am completely unsure what version of software the phone was running before this happened. The first thing I tried was RSD Lite with the JB Stock file from Team US Cellular. The flashing fails during certain lines of the .XML file. I took suggestions from other users to delete the lines it fails on and let the file continue the flash. Once it reboots, it is still stuck on the "M" logo screen. I then tried all the other stock firmware files I could and the same result each time.
Next, I tried using ADB and Fastboot tools. My PC recognizes the phone when plugged in and running command "adb devices" shows the phone listed, but whenever I try to run a pull or other command, I get error:closed. I've tried all the solutions of making sure ADB files are updated, running the list of commands to get the daemon connection reset, etc. I can't push/pull anything using adb. I tried using mFastboot with no luck either.
I tried the above steps over and over for 3 days straight, hoping I missed something simple. My final option was to boot into Recovery Mode and run Wipe Data/Factory Reset. When I select that option, about 3 lines of command begin to run and the phone reboots and goes back to being stuck on the "M" logo screen. The command lines and reboot literally happen within 2 seconds. That tells me Factory Reset is corrupted, but I'm not 100% at this point.
Does anyone have any insight on if there is anything I can do at this point? It wouldn't be such a big deal to lose the phone, but we have pics/videos of our 2 year old that we never got backed up at home or in the cloud and they're very important to us. Unfortunately, the phone did not have and SD card. I'm honestly out of ideas at this point and have never felt so defeated.
I got brave and decided to just unlock the phone and attempt to install TWRP on it and that doesn't even work. It says it flashed it, but whenever I choose Recovery, it never boots to TWRP. It continues to use the stock recovery screen. I'm assuming this thing is just completely done for?
Dear community,
After the use of adb on my LG D-331, the phone shows a loop of the startup ( where's the logo ).
This problem appeared after I changed the build.prop file and rebooted my device.
I want any solution to make it usable ( whatever the solution, even if everything got wiped off ).
The recovery mode in unreachable. With adb, I did 'adb reboot-recovery' which lead me to a screen where there is the logo of android saying "Deleting"
After that, nothing new happens, still that startup loop.
I really need some advice.
Thanks in advance for your help !
EDIT 1: I managed to reach the recovery mode, where I was asked to factory reset my phone, I chose yes and yes then waited for the phone to reset, but the operation aborted and the screen goes back to the loop.
