Was resetting my 920, got the whirling cogs on screen. Left the phone after several hours still the cogs on screen. Phone ran out of power & put it on charge & still the cogs. I presume a reset shouldn't take this long so how do I get it out of reset?
Update. Managed to finally kick out of reset with a soft reset, amazing that finally worked as I thought it was bricked.

so recently my htc hd2 started having problems.. the bottom 4 buttons seem to stay lit 24/7 when the phone is on even when in standby how can i make the phone go back to how it used to be ? i tried soft reset nothing..
Did you pull the battery? Hard reset?
yes i pulled battery and also did a factory reset , still does it. starting to think phone is defective as nothing i do will fix this problem. any advice? my phone is under warranty and i have insurance on it
My old note hard resets itself if restarted or powered off then on. It doesn't do it every time...but 5 out of 10 restarts or power down/up will cause the phone to hard reset. Pretty annoying as I cant sell it this way and it's essentially a paperweight at this point. I've done a full wipe/reset data/wiped dalvik cache, reflashed rom and still no change.... Anyone had this happen to them? Is the phone toast?
Just this morning, I woke up and saw that my LG Zero H650E was rebooting. This had happened before and I fixed it on multiple occassions by waiting till the battery ran out, and then charged it before turning the phone on. This booted my phone normally. I thought this most recent happening this morning was another one of these occassions. Therefore, I just left it on my desk to drain. About 3 hours later, it had turned off after draining so I went ahead and charged it to about 15% and then held down the power button for around 3 seconds and it booted. But after 10 minutes it still had not finished booting and I found it most unusual so I tried to boot it into factory data reset mode(I am using stock ROM), and attempted to hard reset it because I could not seem to do anything else, like download mode(power+volume up, then plug into computer) or letting it drain to 0% again and boot. When I booted it into factory reset mode, I selected "Yes", then "Yes" again. It showed the LG logo screen, with the words "Powered by Android" at the bottom and then the green Android with a blue shape in front and a gear behind appeared. After 1 second it disappeared and went back to the aforementioned LG logo screen and proceeds to do absolutely nothing. No matter how many times I have tried to factory reset it, this has always happened. I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks
Never rooted this phone before, was just trying to reset the phone. I did factory reset through recovery mode and now I get the white tmobile screen and blue led screen and it just hangs and the phone gets super hot.
Is there anyway to recover this phone to factory settings or is it dead now? I don't really get what I did wrong.
At one point i was in download mode and it said it was downloading something but my battery fell out so idk if thats what messed it up but i've tried several resets since and it keeps hanging.
So, about 10 days ago I woke up to find my phone wouldn't turn on but felt warm to the touch. At first I didn't know what to do, so after googling for a bit I found out you could force it turn off (power button + volume up) so I did it. Then when attempting to turn it back on, it just got stuck on the Sony logo and when plugging it to the charger the LED would be red when attempting to reboot again.
Several days after googling what might have happened and no luck whatsoever, I decided to take it to a repair shop where it sat for 4 days and they said it just wouldn't turn back on. After retrieving it, and not knowing I could just use a single command (fastboot erase userdata) to factory reset it, I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader to force a factory reset, after which I managed to turn it back on. However, next morning after downloading all my apps and just unplugging it from the wall and going to the bathroom it just wouldn't turn on again, so I had to factory reset it again using fastboot (that's when I found out about that command, and also realized I lost my DRM keys for no good reason but that's a whole other issue). After again setting up all my apps, it suddenly froze when restoring my WhatsApp messages so I had to yet again factory reset it and decided to just download WhatsApp for the time being. My phone was fine for the rest of the day, and the following day, but then last night when WhatsApp was preparing to back up the messages it froze again and I had to (you guessed it) factory reset it again 3 times after it kept on freezing.
At this point I'm not really sure what my phone's issue is, and from my past past experience googling similar cases, people either wouldn't be able to turn on their phones, or the posts had no answers whatsoever. Would there be any way to see what exactly is causing my phone to hang and boot loop or is it just that its time has come to be replaced?
