Try pulling the battery for 15 seconds to see if it clears.
If you are trying to get the phone working like it just came out of the box, go to this thread and run the RUU for your phone in particular.
BE SURE THAT YOU PICK THE CORRECT RUU, OR THE PHONE MAY BE BRICKED DUE TO INCORRECT RUU.
I updated the Flyer through the system menu. It was a small file that downloaded. When it restarted it got stuck in a boot loop where the you would get the white screen with green HTC lettering. It would do the jingle then reboot. Called tech support. They had me do a factory reset. Fixed it. 9 days later. I restarted the tablet and got the same problem. Did another factory reset. Fixed it. Called HTC. They said they can't do anything unless I send them the tablet while it is stuck in boot loop.
It is not rooted. I haven't done anything special with it. Anybody have any clue what might be going on or how I can prevent it from happening again? Or know any apps that could help me figure out what is happening?
Thanks!
Turn on usb debugging and leave it on, then use adb to connect when it goes into a loop and grab the output from logcat. We will probably be able to help you if you can do that.
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, only the rep said there was nothing to do to fix it. They said it was a known bug. I was able to do a factory reset by plugging in the usb adapter and then power + down vol. Without the adapter, it would continue to reboot even after a factory reset. So far it has worked. I was surprised that the rep did not have me even try anything to solve the problem, but hey.
I had the same problem before updating to Globatron's HC leak. Seemed to happen after rebooting, (almost every time. Got to the point that I decided to never turn it off again) and a factory reset was the only solution. Since HC, the problem hasn't happened once.

I had the same problem after the 2.27 update(Never happened before the update.) It would just be random, not all the time (only after a restart, I would always cross my fingers and rub my rabbits foot.) I got into a habit of Nandroid Backing up the device at least once a week, as the problem would occur more than once a month.
I just upgraded to HC a couple of days ago, I have yet to have it happen.
Thanks for the suggestions and sharing. It's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue. I am really tempted to root and go to Honeycomb now. I was trying to keep everything stock until HTC moved it to Honeycomb. If HTC could write software that didn't screw me over, I would be more than happy to be patient for the official update.
Hi
I have a similar issue. I rolled back the device from HC to GB stock rom and I am on the last updated GB stock rom. It is just randomly restarts and I cannot see the reason why? Sometimes after a day or 2. Before this started the sense was randomly freezing and I couldnt do anything just restart. I got taskiller on and this looks like sort out the freezing issue I have over 300 mb memory free most of the time but I have this random restart now.
Is there any way I can diagnose or check in a log file what is the reason for these random restarts?
thx

Yes, like globatron mentioned in the second post, turn usb debugging on (in settings - applications - development) and leave it on until you encounter another bootloop. While the device is bootlooping connect it to your pc and use adb logcat. If you can post the output here someone might be able to help.

Hi there,
sorry for using this old thread, but I am having the same problem with my Flyer running Android 2.3.4.
Today I've done nothing with it, just let the battery drain, to make a full recharge. Want to restart it, and: Bootloop. This f*ing melody drives me crazy already!
I've connected it to my laptop, creating a logcat-file. I will edit this post if its ready.
But I am wondering why this happens. There wasn't an update (even if if there whould be: I am rooted, so I couldn't install) and in my opinion I've done nothing special since the last reboot a few days ago.
I've done a backup via CWM, but don't want to perform a Factory Reset because the last backup is... already a few months ago.
... How long does it need to create the logcat-File? I wrote this whole text while he is still writing...
Edit: Haha. It will never end. Have created a 42MB .txt-File.
I've shorten it, until the first repeat of a row. But it is still to long for insertig here, it is attached.
Edit 2: Is there an Option to perfom a backup via adb? "adb backup" doesn't work with Android 2.3, And I haven't found a solution for "adb pull" to copy a complete partition.
Hi there!
First off, I hope I am posting in the right section.
I took the battery and micro SD out of my hd2 and then put them back in.
Now I can't start the phone anymore, it gets stuck on the following message:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned of the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source....
Thing is I can't just go for a hard reset for I sadly do have plenty of unsaved contacts and data in the phone memory :/
Any clue, anyone?
Hello all,
I've searched the forums for quite awhile now and couldn't find anything to help solve my problem ,so I'm biting the bullet and creating a thread.
Earlier on this evening my phone randomly rebooted and I ended up stuck on the splash screen for 15+ minutes. I tried a battery pull but again got
stuck on the splash screen after turning the phone on. I'm able to get into Hboot and Fastboot but can't get into recovery , factory reset , clear storage , etc. Every time I try one of those options , the phone just freezes up. I'm not able to relock the bootloader and flash an RUU because I can't get into the phone to turn on my USB debugging , so my laptop won't even recognize my phone when it's plugged in. As of now , I'm at a bit of a standstill. I'm on Telus , S-ON, Rooted , running Speedrom 9. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hey guys, this evening I've been trying to wipe an old T-mobile g2x and get it set up so my parents can use it as a remote in their living room for chromecast and whatnot.
I was doing a factory reset and clearing cache/formatting sd cards in Recovery mode because cyanogenmod wouldn't connect to the wi-fi network to let me login to my accounts (using it without a sim card). As soon as I did the formatting (I only wiped the sd-card contents, I have no clue how this happened)....all of these problems started and I've made zero progress whatsoever ever since.
But it's bricked....really hard. The symptoms as of now:
Persistant boot loop. The only thing that has shown up on the screen since it happened is the LG logo, and a charging battery if it's plugged in & not 'booted on' (which is when the LG logo pops up)
Recovery mode is completely gone. Button combinations do not work at all.
USB won't connect. When plugged into my computer, it only registers as "Unknown device" and no matter what drivers I install nothing changes this. This prevents me from using any sort of utilities that need a pc connection, as far as I've been able to figure.
I tried to find a way to get android to boot 100% from the micro sd-card since it's the only way I can actually get data into my phone it seems, but all the suggestions I've seen still require recovery mode to access. I have no idea what to do anymore. Does it seem like I'm pretty screwed? Should I donate my new brick to house builders?
Thank you so much guys, long time reader first time poster These forums have saved my butt so many times! Cheers :good:
