Stuck
I'm also stuck on Verizon boot logo. I installed TWRP, did a backup, and installed Google wallet. After the reboot, it just stays on Verizon logo. I turned phone off, and help volume up, home, and power button. It just goes back to Verizon boot logo....Help!!!

How long are you waiting. On a deodexed rom it takes a couple minuted and looks frozen at the verizon screen on the first boot.
This is soo odd...and annoying... im perfectly fine until I install a deodexed rom.. I am able to boot up to it one time but after the next reset it freezes on
the custom unlock Verizon logo?
my phone? I have tried 2 deodexed roms
Curious to see if phone number three does the same thing.

I figured it out
When doing a wipe on internal storage with recovery causes it.
Weirdly enough you will be fine until your 2nd reboot.
any ideas what is going on?
Problem is with all roms including stock.

It's rebuilding the caches for all the apps. On AOSP this is explicitly shown as the "Android is upgrading" screen. On TW it does it during the Verizon boot animation loop. On the second boot the caches are already built.

You realize PaulB just said that it's freezing on the second reboot, which the caches are already built right?

Why are you wiping the internal storage? You only need to do a factory reset, which removes downloaded apps, reverts stock apps back to normal and removes all your personal data. I remember reading that performing an internal wipe removes the encryption on the internal memory. Maybe that's what is causing the issue.
I misread...I thought he said he was fine on the second boot.

Wiping the internal storage is not something I would normally do but did on occasion with the s3. There's no need for it really...
I am just happy its not the phone. it was difficult to diagnose because I would wipe factory and if I had a bunch of zip files I no longer needed on internal storage I would go on ahead and wipe that as well before installing a rom.
it would boot up fine and I could go a day or so before rebooting and it freezing so I didn't know what I was doing.
Just wanted to let everyone know ..
DONT WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE.
even a nandroid backup will fail after you encounter a freeze. The only way to fix it was to flash the stock odin.
Thanks for your input,
Paul

my phone wont turn on!!! i mean it'll go to the part where it says "HTC quietly brilliant" but its just stuck there...then i would the press the power button again and it'll just do the same thing. SOMEONE PLZZZ HELP!
Need more information. Did you flash anything recently? Are you S-OFF? Can you access recovery? Did you try to run the RUU or reflash the ROM?

its S-ON, yes i can access recovery, the only thing i did was try to change the font using Font Installer then it rebooted after that it would go on HTC quietly brilliant logo then blacked off, i hold the power button but it did the same thing over n over again for an hour. So i thought if i factory reset it it would fix the problem but i think i made it worse cause now its just stuck on HTC quietly brilliant logo, I left it there for couple of hours and went out hoping when i get back a miracle would happen and it'll be fix but when i got home its still stuck on that logo. I still can access recovery though. This is my very first rooted phone and i have no idea what to do next.

If you can still access recovery, into recovery and to a factory reset and wupe you cache and you should be set
Edit: You should try flashing a different Rom see if that works

What recovery are you using, TWRP? Had you flashed a ROM prior to tinkering with fonts? Did you make a full backup of your stock ROM after HTC unlocking to load your recovery? I am going to make some assumptions to my questions. If you are using TWRP you can mount the sdcard from recovery and copy on another ROM (pick one to use ... MeanROM?). Even if you can't mount the sdcard from recovery you can still get a ROM on to your phone by pulling sdcard2 from the external sdcard slot and manually mounting/copying to/from your CPU.
If you made a backup of your stock rom after loading your recovery then the first thing to try is wiping everything (factory, caches, etc...) and restore the backup. (Sounds like you may have tried that already).
If that does not work then download a different ROM and try it ... MeanROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727167) uses it's own splash at start so that may help (because it sounds like you are stuck at the HTC splash).

When you get in recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, system. Then reflash the rom, you will be fine.
Sent from my lair.
It seems to be that some people are having problems with flashing other fonts (source). ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before doing any of these types of modifications to your phone in the future, it's the fastest way to fix broken things. Also make sure that the fonts you are trying to install have been working with our phones and the newest versions of Android and/or Sense.
Here are some things you can do that might fix your bootloop. In descending order try these:
If you have a current Nandroid backup, restore it. It will get your phone working 100% with the least amount of data loss and won't require you to set it all up again.
Re-flash the same ROM you have (if it's stock, it can also be found in the Android Dev section of the forum). This will likely fix the problem. Especially if it's a font issue.
Hope it doesn't come to this but run the RUU that matches your system. This will completely set your phone back to day 1. You'll have to reroot, etc.
Best of luck. And remember to do nandroids often! :good:
THANK YOU GUYS!!!! i was about to give up
i did what you guys told me to do, download a different rom install it on my sdcard and flash it in recovery. AGAIN thank you guys so much, ya'll just made my day. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Anytime you can access recovery you are fine

Your getting stuck there because of some of the fonts you checked dont change and **** up the phone for whatever reason happens to me all the time when i try to find out which fonts are safe to change just wipe system andcaches and install back up your good if you want a list of the fonts i found to be safe i can post that once i check it on my fone

Since i have rooted and installed the Siyah Kernal, i am experiencing random crashes where apps stop working and the screen goes black for a minute and everything reloads again like as the phone has been restarted. i used a fresh made recovery and everything was ok but i had to reload everything from scratch. it has happened again but this time i can not even get past my pattern lock screen before it crashes and freezes. therefore i cant titanium backup my apps.
i have tried
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- reboot phone
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
just in case it matters am using go launcher and just before the phone went funny i was browsing and using apps fine. however today i did use extweaker app and ticked the option to force usb storage, if this makes any difference
thanks.
i was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there any ideas on why this may be happening.
it may because the phone is trying to do something that is causing a conflict. I believe the only way you are going to resolve the issue is to do a factory reset, to unfo the issue with the force usb storage.

Thanks. For the reply. I was wondering what would be the best way to factory reset with out loosing root but giving me a fresh 4.0.4 with root also should i flash the latest siyeh kernel or stick with what i have. i am running ok at the moment after flashing a recover. but am paranoid it just going to get stuck and freeze on the lockscreen again. this could be a big problem if i need to make a important call or somthing. sorry for spelling mistakes written on my phone
editm i used galaxy s unlock from market. i dont want to loose this either
also most times i install a new app the whole screen just sticks and i have to reboot then it becomes fine again. any help would be appreciated.

Might be worth deleting the .siyah folder and then booting into recovery, flash a kernel cleaning script then siyah or whichever kernel again.

Has anyone else had a boot loop problem with the new V of TWRP?? I'm running SOAv3 ROM and had ZERO problems, upgraded my twrp and had about a dozen restarts and freezes and then when I tried to boot into recovery, it boot looped. Fixed it with ODIN, then tried installing it fresh, and got the same thing. Went back to my older version and things are fine once again just wondered if this is isolated or just a known bug??
Yes its a know issue right now go back to the previous working version of twrp and wait for it to get fixed.Also be sure to check big Biff's twrp page before trying to update again to make sure everything is good.

Just update from Padawan V8 to SOA build 3. Was skeptical for a day or so but finally did it last night. Was just about to update to the New TWRP, thank fully I read through all those pages before I did, I usually don't. Saved me a head ache except I forgot to wipe cache's before installing the GAPPS, going to have to re-do that I believe to get the new camera functions from what I've read.

Well let me explain my predicament. The other day I flash somex's something explosive rom after a wipe of the everything I need to wipe ( Data,Cache,Davlik) When it was finished flashing I got to rebooting. I ended up with a blank, yet illuminated screen ( if that makes sense) I waited about 20 minutes. After coming to the conclusion that the ROM doesn't work I did another wupe of everything needed. Then i flashed JoseGalre's ROM since it has aroma it told me that it had an error and coundln't finsih the instalation. I wiped again and reflashed, same error. I wanted to see what would happen if it let it boot up w/o recovery and it ended up in a boot loop. I tried to go back to 4ext and it seemed to load up just fine but half way through the startup it ends up back in the bootloop. I ran Hasoon's all in one kit and flashed TWRP and it worked just fine until I flash a rom. It seemed to be working just fine then it suddenly crashes and we're back in the loop. I've been trying to fix for the last few days but to no avail. I marked the title as urgent because my parents are going out of town for the weekend and I really need a phone. They havn't a clue that it doesn't work becausse they get home before me. Any help would be appreciated a great deal.
I've had something similar happen and freaked out my phone was down for half a day.
Try booting into the boot loader by holding vol down and power boot into recovery, wipe everything then format everything except SD card and try restoring a backup. Hopefully you made one or two in the past.

I don't think you wiped properly. You needed to format ALL PARTITIONS. I can't stress that enough lol.
Edit: Go into bootloader first. Hold volume down then hold power as well. Choose recovery and format all partitions. If that works you're good! :thumbup:
Use the toolkit and flash 4ext. And make sure whenever you flash Roms that you format all partitions.
If that doesn't work you need to flash a RUU, get it back to stock, it will still retain S OF. Then flash 4ext again. Your problems should be fixed for sure if my first method doesn't work.

So i changed the name of the RUU i download to PH85img.zip and use the all in one tool kit to flash it. The black htc loading screen came up. I waited until it finished and then the bootloader came up with a list of things it head to unzip and then load. After all of that was finished it gave me an error. After reading a message that you should get an error ( i now realize this was at another stage) so i though nothing of it and rebooted. A black screen with 4 warning triangles came up. I let it load all day and when i got home i plugged it back in and I noticed it looked like it was unplugging after securing the charger in I came the conclusion that it wasn't holding a charge and dying on the battery. Normally I would leave it alone but when you plug in the charger it turns itself on. I've began living with the fact that my phone is bricked. But any help would be appreciated.
BTW is there a way to get data (music pictures contacts) that were saved on the internal storage?
Probably should have gone with full caps on the PH85IMG.zip
It's easier just to put the zip on your external sdcard and gone in to bootloader.

Sorry, I got frustrated and now flashing a new ROM.
That's fine then, definitely the best choice...
Random reboots are mostly accredited to kernel and not ROM. (however possible in ROM as well).
First thing you should do next time if such thing happens is to flash stock boot or use a different boot then u are currently using.

I did the same, Returned to full stock. But then the problem occurred again after I finished setting up all my apps. Also I found out what the problem was.
The issue is with the latest update of DoubleTwist Music Player App. As soon as I installed that app and opened it, My phone froze and then the restarting issue started. Then I removed the app apk from Recovery and now it works fine.
So anyone having this issue try the above solution.
