PHONE IS STUCK ON BOOT LOOP!!! what do i do, i have s-on and i have TWRP 2.0 RECOVERY. help me please
What Rom where u running before u flashed ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Since you have a recovery before you did any changes did you create a backup? If not what Rom are you trying to flash and what were you running before?
sent from my s-off HTC_Amaze 4g ICS OneGood Rom
i know it was a noob mistake but i didnt make a back up, i was on stock, i unlocked the bootloader and then installed recovery and from there i erased system data cache dalvix or what ever its called, so pretty much i wiped clean then i flashed the boot.img to the phone using adb, then installed a ics rom rom and phone does not want to turn back on at all
i still am able to boot into fastboot and recovery, i reflashed CMW on the phone using adb while the phone was in fastboot thinking that would make a difference but it didnt, i also tried 2 other roms but with still no luck, im i doing something wrong here? i have s-on by the way!!
Thanks in advance guys!

Have you solved the issue?
If not what ROM were you trying to install?
edit: added this it might help u - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550
You need to specify the rom you were trying to install and when you say stock do you mean gb or ics? What I would do is install the latest leaked ics. You can find many tutorials on how to do that. Then once your phone is updated install eng hboot flash a recovery do a new ics rom
sent from my s-off HTC_Amaze 4g ICS OneGood Rom
If u have a recovery ur always able to fix it I've found. If ur flashing an ics Rom, I would follow the s off tutorial and once that is done, flash ur ics framework and Rom threw fastboot if u can't boot it or even recovery if u can still get there. If anything and ur still on gingerbread, find the amaze stock ruu, and "fastboot flash boot boot_signed" then Itl turn on
Another one of these threads? There are multiple threads about "How I Bricked My Amaze" if you don't want an expensive paper weight then I suggest browsing more often.
To flash an ICS Rom you need to be updated to the Official ICS or the Leaked ICS.
Certain threads even explain this before hand in their OP.
Failure to read has been the "IN" thing going on around these forums.
Not reading will get you bricked.

That isn't how you get to ICS - everything I know thus far says you are supposed to do it by flashing the leaked OFFICIAL image in the bootloader - do a LITTLE research(hint, everything ICS thread has the how-to like the second post). Perhaps there is a way to do it differently, but I have yet to find ONE set of instructions that say to flash it originally thru CWM. If you knew the right way, you'd already have it fixed.
At least you HAVE a recovery you can access - depending on the version of CWM it may not be the best one, but at least you should be able to access the bootloader-- but unless some other noob who had the same issue explains it to you by PM, that is about as much help as you are going to get - at least until anyone can tell you've done some research!
As Double0EK said, there is PLENTY of information that should be easy to find.
OP, have you figured out a solution?
Please tell us what rom ure trying to install and maybe we can help

Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

hey guys, its not just data, the phone is bootlooping on him.
I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.
I am one of those people with an s-off and I have had no issues with it but I also updated to the ICS radio AMD have no issues so I'm not totally sure what not working with yours

Not sure what is going on with mine that is making it so different. This is just frustrating, last thing that im going to try is going to be flashing th kernel through adb, know that whould not matter too much, but i'll give it a shot, not like it would hurt at all.

Ok , so i tried this, and as i thought not much happened, more of the same. No real help at Rootz either sadly. I need to find me an S-Off Dev.... lol
On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?
Last thought...did you try the bootloop fix? ##whatever after booting without the battery covery etc...?? There' s a full thread on it.

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
I'm sorry if the answers to my question have been answered but I can't find them after searching for a few days.
I need to send my Atrix in for a repair or replacement. It is unlocked and rooted running Turl's CM9 right now. Obviously I can't send it back as is, so how should I go about everything?
Flash an SBF, flash a fruitcake rom, or something else that I haven't stumbled upon?
The only threads I could find are from a year ago and so much has changed since then. I just want to be sure I go about this the correct way. And should I go through ATT or Motorola? I know my phone is still under warranty with both.
Thanks for any help! It is much appreciated!
"Always have an exit strategy"
You can flash a fruitcake but the "unlocked" text will remain so you can hope for the best.
Or you can try an SBF (Disclaimer: at your own risk).
How long have you had it? Usually if you have had it for more than 30 days AT&T won't help but if you are still under "warranty" with them I would try AT&T first.
If you can't find a way to return your phone back to stock you can try Motorola, they might just overlook the modifications you have done.... or they might charge you a service fee...... or they might just send the phone back to you. It really depends on who ever is processing your claim and the mood they're in.
Also, please don't start multiple threads on the same topic.

Turn phone off and pull out sim card and sd card.
Reboot in rsd mode (olding vol+ at boot) and flash your sbf with rsd lite.

Ok, you don't happen to have a stock sbf file? I can't find one anywhere.
Also, why is it that we shouldn't flash sbf files? It seems that people have success with them but everyone keeps saying not to do that. But I can't find a stock flashable zip and the fruitcake links are dead so sbf seems to be my last resort.
I'm just stuck scratching my head because of all this confusion?

Look in the firmware superthread, in the last pages someone have a link in his sign to a page of many stock sbf files. I found there my updated one.
I always got succes with rsd lite but only with a full wipe with fastboot before it say "pass" at the end. Otherwaise it say to 'manually reboot'.
Don't know why people say "do not use sbf", probably there is a reason, but i think it is the only way to remove the 'Unlocked'
Here links to froyo sbf
and to GingerBread sbf
also you need to delete any folder about apps that need root to work and su folder and anything that presume you have rooted your phone
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Depending on what build you are currently on you do not want to "downgrade". So if you are on a Gingerbread build (4.5.91 or 4.5.141) do not flash the Froyo SBF. And probably if you are on the 4.5.141 build (2.3.6), it is not recommended to flash the ".91" build. That is where the issues can occur.
I have also used RSD Lite to flash back to stock (a few times) but always use caution. So, for @scarbutt11, do you happen to remember what build you were on before you unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom ROM?

Yeah, I was running stock 4.5.91/2.3.4. I'm on a cm9 build now. I'm not sure if that will matter at all for flashing back to GB? I know I tried cm7 to see if it was just cm9 causing the problems, but it seems it is hardware related.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Yeah, it depends on what "Official" build you were last on. Since you were on "4.5.91" then I would just use that SBF. Like someone else mentioned, it is possible to use RSD Lite, just use caution.

don't use clockwork, use the amon recovery.
Use among ra recovery. Other that, how long have you let it sit at that screen? Sometimes it takes several minutes, just be patient.
Also, what rom, and are you on the new leaked firmware?
I could remote into team viewer on your computer and flash amon ra recovery on your phone and walk you through installing a Rom and kernel for you if you want.
But to properly wipe, it should be data, cache, dalvic cache, and system

just be aware if you use it, your hboot will say "tampered" and you cannot roll back to GB firmware. if your new to this, id do alot of reading before attempting it. if you want a good GB based rom look into chingy's rom.

he doesn't need to be on the leaked ruu to use the ics roms. he can flash the old firmware patch too.

He can so that but its not supported by Scott so if he has any problems he wont get help.
Just because you are against flashing the leaked firmware doesn't make it bad.
To the OP, if you are uncomfortable with relocking your phone to flash the new firmware I would try one of the gb roms. The update for ICS should be anyday now.

he can also use rezrom which supports the old firmware with a patch. and we have no clue when the ota will be out. i never told him not to flash the ruu but if he doesn't know what he is doing i recommend he reads up alot. stop trying to contradict everything i say in every thread, it's getting annoying.
OP i sent you a pm.

Try to factory reset , wipe cache and install Rom again .

The first time a newly flashed Rom boots up it can take a few minutes to start. Factory reset/wipe and restart the phone. Set it down and walk away for 5 minutes minimum. It can be hard to do with the anticipation but sometimes it just needs to be left alone till its loaded everything

Don't panic you probably just need to install the kernel boot.img via fastboot.
Turge has provided some very nice instructions in his thread, here
Just make sure to use the boot.img from the rom your trying to install rather than the one in his tut. (it's in the romname.zip file)
Didn't you make a back up before flashing a custom rom? If you did, just try to restore it first.
You need more info about your setup: cdma/gsm, s-on/off, HTC unlocked/locked, hboot version, recovery, etc.
If u are hboot 1.50/HTC unlocked have a look at the guide in my signature.

Good point. U NEVER flash anything without a good backup. I leave the last 2 backups on my ad card and delete the oldest everytime I flash a Rom. That way if one is bad hopefully the other one isn't.

possible solution
let start of by do you know how to get into recovery? did you follow instructions from site when trying to root? did you follow and understand all steps?
do you have a recovery software loaded like 4xt or clock work mod? do you remember doing a backup? if you can get into recovery then you can fix your phone and its far from bricked.
Is it still broken? have you fixed it and not updated the forum?

Op hasn't commented in a long time. Last post was a couple days ago.
No point in people commenting now.

Hey guys. So I have been flashing Rom's on just about every android phone I have owned since the Moto Droid 1 came out. I never have had any real issues. I am by no means an expert but I do have a meager comprehension of how this all works. But for some reason when my friend brought his Moto Atrix 4g over to have me unlock it and root it for him, I got it unlocked and rooted successfully but once I completed those tasks I set about getting him a custom rom. I attempted to flash CM10, CM7 and a few other roms. Atleast 4 others. None of them seem to want to flash. His phone is now stuck on the Dual Core boot menu. When I go into recovery from CWM and select restore it just clears the screen of all text and nothing happens. Yes when I flash the rom I wipe cache/dalvik cache/ and factory reset. I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it at this point and any help would be appreciated. I am currently trying to find a stock image rom but the only one I found on these forums is outdated and there is no mirror in the link. So PLEASE PLEASE help me. Idk what to do.
Thanks guys!!!!
Try a different recovery?

Ok that is exactly what I was thinking but I have no idea how to do that or what other recoveries are available. Any ideas? Thanks a ton for the prompt response.

Oh wait did you mean like a different recovery under the CWM? There are no other Recoveries. The only option I get when I go to back/recovery is to either backup or recover so I select recover and then nothing happens from that point.
How did you flash CWM on it in the first place? It's the same procedure, you know... Or you could read the related recovery thread. Some people like romracer's others like TWRP. They're available in the dev section.

Oh ok my bad. I understand what you are saying. I wasn't sure if TWRP and romracer were compatible with this phone. I didn't know how that worked but if I can just try and flash a different recovery I'll do that. Ill try TWRP tonight that's what I have on my EVO 4g LTE and I flashed CM10 just fine on it so. Hopefully that will help. Thanks a ton man!
Well, if it's in this phone's dev section, it better be compatible with this phone, eh? Just don't try to use another phone's recovery. That could brick it.
I use TWRP recovery. There is a thread for that in the dev thread. Someone there made it flashable. You'll just have to search for it. Put it on the sd card, go into recovery and flash it. Reboot into recovery and there yea go. I prefer TWRP because it's different and easy to use. Good luck!!

Someone should put a sticky that the automatic unlock/root tool flashes an outdated recovery that doesn't work with new ROMs. We seem to get one of these threads every couple of days..

Just go to the play store and buy rom toolbox. You will not regret it. You can change recovery with a touch of the screen.
