My phone has is in a bootloop from out of no where. I am on CounterShrike 2.3a and have been for a while. My phone died on my way home and when I plugged it in to charge on my laptop, it came on after about a minute and started to bootloop. I've tried to get into recovery but it get into is HBOOT screen. Any ideas? Also ADB will not recognize my device
Interesting. I know a few others that had this issue. I am mentally noting which rom they were on.

ive had this happen to me too in the past. i had to get a copy of recovery onto my sd and flash it that way. i have no clue why and i was on viper rom at the time but that was the only way i could fix it. :/
Okay got to through. But now i have no connectivity to data? Would this be a radio issue?
Edit: Okay, so it might be a SIM card issue. Switched back to Global Rom and it popped up saying it doesn't register my SIM card. Gonna try that on my next day off.
Edit: Everything is good again. New SIM card fixed the data issue

My fried recently rooted his 3D (14hboot twrp2.0) and the phone keps randomly restarting on him. We have tried installing various ROMs thinking that some of the files may not have installed correctly.
One of the ROMs we tried was Eternity which i use on my 3D (1.4hbot, twrp 2.0) and I do not have random restarts with my phone.
Was hoping someone might know of a solution or where to find a solution to fix his problem. Thanks for any help.
Seems to be a common problem. here was just a thread about this. Would happen to me on any rom and even back to stock ,unrooted. I Narrowed my problem down to something to do with Sense. I stopped using it and it stopped happening. But that was just my phone.
Try using ruu an make sure to super wipe an install Roman depending on cdma or gsm phones

My phone was having a similar issue. It mainly happened when it was plugged in. I narrowed it down to an issue while the phone was charging. It just died totally and will no longer boot. Replacement is on the way.
a few things you can try....
flash a ROM that you know works on your own phone with no issues.
remove SD card from phone (while it is off obviously) and boot up. if issues persist.. proceed to next step and put SD card back in.
after you do that, flash new radios... look in the dev CDMA section (and if you are GSM ignore this part entirely) and flash freeza's all in one radio update... it is post 31 or something like that... 33? don't remember, but it is a zip that you apply through the boot loader.
off the top of my head those are two immediate things you can do which might fix it.
I'll give those a shot.. Thanks for the help.
i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].
Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.
Anybody has an idea how to fix an HTC rezound phone that is stock never rooted, went thru the ICS OTA update, after restart is just restarting over and over again. Only shows HTC white display and keeps restarting.
I can go into Hboot, tried factory reset, even downloaded ruu ran it but it keeps bootlooping!!!..
Any ideas?

Perhaps it is the network bootloop issue, had that issue with the first OTA, try diagnosing that:

mpmorph, let us know if your problem was same as the network boot looping issue, so we can assist others that get it with this OTA.:good:
....Sadly that is not the case. I tried to follow the instructions on that link but never managed to enter the code. The phone never got that far. The device just displays the white screen with the HTC green logo and then it dims the light a bit, and......it shutdowns, just to restart again. Removed everything, SIM card, microSD card, and nothing.
Received a replacement from verizon today, but before i send the other one back if anybody has any ideas to try.....now is the time....please?
Draw all over it to make VZW mad.
On a serious note, it would be nice if the internal sd was a real micro sd that you could remove and stick in a computer to get all of your files back.

Tried it. RUU ran then on restart same thing. No go.
I think S-OFF and running a GB RUU might work, don't wanna risk getting 500 dollar spike on my Verizon bill Cuz it was hacked.
Thanks for trying guys.
I had a similar problem, if you are able, wipe everything and reinstall the update. It worked for me.
Is the stock recovery installed?
Bootloader is locked/relocked ?
Did you remove the PH98IMG.zip file from your SD card?
Did you try booting with the back cover removed?

Lol they won't bill you $500 for "hacking" your phone. Jailbreaking / rooting / etc. is all legal; the most they can do is void your warranty.

I reflashed my phone last week and had 0 issues. I'm using the rom from graythewolf in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885553
Today I noticed I had bars but it didn't say anything about what type of service (3g, LTE, etc). I've had this problem before and typically putting into airplane mode and turnign it off fixes the issue. Its a minor annoyance but one I could live with. Since flashing that above rom I haven't had to do this. Awesome right?
Today the issue came back and I turned on airplane mode and turned it off, nothing happened. I tried a few more times and still would only gets bars but no data service. I rebooted the phone and that is the last time it came up. Its boot looping at the HTC white screen. I tried going into recovery and it goes right back to the HTC screen and constant reboots. I tried reflashing the recovery (AMonRa) and it flashes fine according to the response in fastboot but when I try to get into it it shows the 1st two lines of amonra and then goes RIGHT back to the HTC rebooting screen.
I have been trying to find a RUU that I can use to reflash the entire phone from the computer (tried fastboot flashzip ph86img.zip and it failed after trying). Any ideas guys. I kinda live and die by my phone but this is my 3rd rezound and this is extremely frustrating.
Yes I am S-OFF and unlocked.
Pointing me to any ICS RUU that runs off a windows machine would help immensely as I think that might get me out of what ever reboot hell I'm in.
Thanks in advance.
1st thing, take the battery out for at least 5 minutes to let everything discharge.
Pop it back in and do the power + volume down to try to get to hboot and then to recovery. Once there do a full wipe and reflash.
CM9 is going to have issues, so just stick around. If you need a stable ROM you should be on CleanROM or Neomax.

Definitely agree. CM9 is being improved greatly but its not at the state where you dont have to worry about things like toggling airplane mode to fix data or stuff like that and bugs or glitches.
Especially if your like me and expect you phone to last long and always be ready to work, definitely try another rom for now. Theres literally a ton of roms that are all awesome
I had this same problem somewhere along the line. All I had to do was the "fastboot boot (name of your recovery).img" through adb. Did a clean wipe and install and everything cleared up.

I had a boot loop issue last night too. It was strange, just looking around on Facebook, suddenly it reboots and halfway through the cm9 animation, back to HTC white screen. I could get into hboot and even recovery, but restarted as soon as I tried to wipe or nandroid restore. Had to rerun ruu and re flash cm9 and all that. No idea what happened

Hey all, this is my first android and I'm not the smartest sometimes. I tried restoring back to factory rom, and watched a bad how to vid. Basically i cleared data, system, cache and now realize i shouldn't have.
I'm not able to connect to the phone through usb. I have the drivers, but I can't see the phone.I can boot into cwm, and that is it. When i start it, it basically pulls up the LG screen, then a black screen.
I have a backup on cwm but get the md5 error.
Is it possible to put the sd card in my computer and download what i need straight to the card? Im also not sure what i need to download, if that does work.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide. Like i said im not the smartest sometimes, so dont be afraid to respond like im slow.

Can you install the Rom "The base .5". I assume so if you can get to cwm. I had this problem when flashing this Rom The first time. It did the same thing with the LG logo then go black. If that happens just reboot to cwm(May take awhile) and reflash "the base" again. That should allow it to boot the phone fully so you can at least use it till you can get all the way back to stock. I hope this helps. I have to crash now tho. I'll check back in the morning to see how it's going.

Are you trying to get back to factory settings or just get your phone running with the stock rom?
You should be able to just put the ROM on your sd card via computer if you have an SD card sleeve.
If you wiped your phone, it's my understanding that you're not supposed to when flashing the provided rom in development.
There's a posting in development, I believe, about restoring your phone to stock if you messed it up. LGNST or something.

The recovery won't generate a md5 sum (known bug). You have to generate it yourself. Connect your phone to adb and go to #4 in the FAQ here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
Note that there is no way to tell of the backup is corrupt since you are generating a valid code regardless of integrity.

I tried re-installing .4 base which is what I had originally used. It let me choose the apps to instal, and made it to the "X" screen, but appeared to be stuck in a boot loop. I am going to try and download and install .5 via the sd card and see if that works. I'm not sure if LGNPST will work since I can't see the phone via usb. I will download it and give it a try though.
I also saw the guide in the general Optimus G forums for unbricking it.

Since i cant really connect via usb, ill probably have to use a different method. Im hoping the usb issue is due to the computer im using and the original computer i used to root and unlock will work.

The method in that link is for phones that don't have official firmware to use with lgnspt. If you san get into download mode (power off phone ,connect usb,hold volume down and up plus power ) you should be able to lgnpst back to stock.

You need to go to the IRC channel to grab the new version of lgnpst and the correct files.

I'm traveling for work and on a work computer, so the IRC channel is blocked. Of course. I'm heading home tomorrow so hopefully I can get everything back to normal when i get on my home computer. (not having a phone sucks)
Do you all think it would be worth putting the base .5 on my sd card and flashing that, or do you think that wouldnt work? .4 is on there now from my original flash, but that won't work. Just curious.
Well is your phone up and running?
I would think it wouldn't cause harm to try and flash .5 onto it, your phone shouldn't get bricked from it.
i agree with Murasakiii
should be fine to run .5

Welp, I think i earned the title of first bricked phone. It was able to get into recovery and download mode a couple days ago, but now it wont charge it seems. So i cant get it into any mode to do anything. Ive had it on the charger, wall and usb for a couple hours and nothing is happening. I wonder if i can take it back to my att store and try get a replacement. It is within my 14 day window, and there are "hardware" warranties. I have a feeling they will ask what happened and while i may not initially divulge everything, i sadly cant lie. And since its all my fault, i may chalk it up to learning.
i'd say the device started having issues with the USB. unable to see the device when plugged into the computer and the device won't take a charge. don't hear of too many authentic "bricking's" anymore...it can almost always be resurrected. but if the device won't take a charge your time to resolution is rather limited. good luck.

Before you leave to go to the store hook it up to a set up jumper cables and then attach the other end to your car battery. Then just tell them when you tried to charge it that it started smoking and wont turn on any more.
The only lie you have to tell them is it happened on the stock charger.
Im on the same boat. Tried going back to stock for a warranty return, and i ended up bricking the phone. Im able to get it to download mode and was able to run the lg tool but it keeps failing on me. And when it does complete it still wont load. Im going to try to make my self a powerd usb cable too see if i can get it to work. Have like 2 or 3 days to try to figure it out. Or elese im out 550 bucks.

Other option is just telling them you clicked install for the ota update it rebooted and never came back on. They just wipe them at the repair center anyway if they get them to boot up.

It took 12 hrs to get a clean download of the stock ROM (AT&T internet sucks in my area). The entire time the screen on my phone was on with the LG splash screen displayed. By the time I got the ROM ready for flash, the battery was dead. I was however able to plug in to the USB on my computer and get enough juice to get into download mode. Ran LGNPST (v2.2.3) and the stock ROM installed with no prob. You might try plugging it in then trying to get into download mode.
EDIT: now that I think about it. You need to have it plugged in to the USB before download mode anyway, so you won't be doing anything different than you already did.
