Hey, my droid incredible 4g lte is stuck in a boot loop. I haven't rooted it or anything, so i don't know what's going on. Do i have to re-install the stock rom? What do i have to do?
Pull battery, put battery back in. Push volume down and hold, push power while holdind volume down. Keep pushing volume down until phone vibrates. This puts phone in bootloader mode. Reset and your good.

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

My friend at school came to me with his dad's white galaxy s from vzw and said it wasn't working right. I took a look at it and it was on but not recognizing any movement from my fingers. It wouldn't swipe to unlock and when I tried to turn it off it wouldn't let me pick anything either.
I pulled the battery and when I hit the power nothing happened. Screen stayed off and only the buttons lit up. I've seen this happen with my dinc so I pulled the battery again and tried again with different combinations of holding the volume up/down and the power button. But still nothing.
I'm not really sure what to do with it, I'm more familiar with my htc phone so I came here for help. I don't think it's bricked since it was on when I first looked at it and now it won't boot to the os.
Let me know if you guys can help point me in the right direction, thanks.
Plug it into a wall charger, pull the battery and hold volume down for a moment, you should see a yellow triangle and a construction worker Android and it should say download, or download mode...if it does the phone is not bricked, but it may be in need of an update..you can try putting the battery in and holding up, down and power until you see the Samsung logo flash then release the power button but continue to hold volume up, and down...this will get you to the stock Android recovery screen..if the phone goes into download mode, and will boot into recovery, it can definitely be fixed.

If it does go into download mode then you'll need to flash it back to stock using Odin.

I just tried all your suggestions and nothing happens. Only the home/option/back/search buttons light up. I'm just going to give it back to him, thanks for the help guys.
Don't flash anything in case he has insurance or warranty on the sucker.

How come when I power off and turn phone back on(no battery pull) and hold vol. Down, the phone boots instantly? If I turn the phone off and just press power and let it boot it takes about a minute to boot.

This happens to me on occasion just because im impatient. When u power off the phone even though the led light and screen goes blank it takes a minute to fully power off on its own without battery pulls or fastboot checked off. If you try to volume down power before it fully shuts down then thats when it boots back instantly. The reason is the phone hasn't fully powered off.
I just SBFd my RAZR, and it keeps repeating the boot animation.
I tried holding the volume up and power buttons, and that does nothing at all.
PLEASE help.
Right now it's off the charger, in the hope that when it dies, I can power it up and re-SBF it, but that could be hours, as I just charged
So PLEASE help me!
You want volume DOWN & power, not volume up.
Get it into recovery mode and wipe data. That should fix it.

Hey All,
I used the Cyanogenmod Installer on my SGH-1717 everything went smoothly between the PC and Android App. I had some random restarts but nothing too bad. it was running pretty well when I took a screen shot and the next thing I know it reboots but it doesn't come out of it.
I'm not quite sure if it's a hard reboot or just soft because the screen never came back on. it's just a cycle of very quick very soft vibrations. my guess is it's power cycling. it does shows the Samsung logo if I take the battery out but it will show the logo once and then goes back to the cycling.
I can get it to boot into download mode but only for a second before the bootloop starts up again. Tried getting to recovery (volume up + power, volume up + volume down + power, and combinations of the home button in there too.) but so far no luck.
I believe the rom the Installer automatically chose was 10.1-20131101-snapshot-quincyatt. even tho I don't see that on the list it's what I remember my phone saying.
I'm trying to hook it up to my PC to reflash or restore but it's not registering. I've read the I maybe able to use a script in ADB to stop the bootloop and work it from there but I haven't had the chance to try and that's a little beyond my knowledge so I'm reading up on it.
Is this a legitimate bootloop or something worse?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
ok so after more research I'm thinking it's not a boot loop but just a stuck power button. I've taken the back off the phone and used a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol to try and clean it but still no luck. any other ideas?

Thanks for the reply! My phone is back and running great it was a stuck power button after all. After trying to be gentle and clean it with rubbing alcohol it took some tapping from a screwdriver to get it working again. thanks for the help tho!

I've installed TWRP, root, and after tweaking with some DPI settings ended up with a constant System UI Force Close.
I change the DPI back to 640, which removed the System UI Force Closes, but the scaling of some things was horrible off. I assumed I would start from scratch again and I performed a factory reset via TWRP, and upon a reboot there are still constant System UI Force Closes. I can't progress to turn ADB back on, and I can't get the system to boot into recovery or bootloader using any power+vol-up or power+vol-down combinations I can find.
Any luck booting into bootloader or recovery from being powered off?
I got it to go once, with USB cable plugged in and pressing Power+VolDown, but can't get it to happen again.
I did a hard reset earlier. Hold volume down, then power(holding both), when lg logo appears release power button inky for 1 second, then press it again (while holding volume down) and it will let you do a factory reset. I restored my twrp image after that, hth.

You are a life saver, was going nuts here trying to figure out how to start again.
Is there a different way to get into fastboot from power off?
From what I've read, I think it's the same process, but with volume up. Not certain as I've yet to try it.

Actually, all you have to do is from Powered off, hold down the volume key and plug into micro usb already plugged into your pc.

Powered off? That's very interesting. I know when I was messing around I did get into the bootloader unintentionally, I just didn't know what I did.

Just saved my ass. Also ran into big problems trying to change the DPI... ended up trying to fastboot flash the stock system.img which only did a tiny partial flash leaving me screwed. Phone was sitting at LG boot screen - thought I was a goner. Did the micro USB plug + volume down while off and got into fastboot which got me back into recovery...
If you are booting to LG, no need to worry, device can be saved. I've only bricked one device that was able to boot up, and there was a fix for it eventually.
