Hey,
I have a huge problem, people.
I've had some issues with one of the ROMs that I tested, so decided to restore my Nandroid Backup. I've wiped everything and runned the Nandroid Restore of my previous - working ROM (EzHero 1.2.1) - everything looked as if it worked fine, the operation was completed succesfully. So, given that I've chosen reboot phone option in the Recovery (AmonRa 1.6.2) and it turned on with a regular booting screen and just stuck on it. It's been like 2hrs and I'm constantly stuck on this "loading" screen and cannot turn the mobile off either by holding Power or Power Home or Power Home Back. Nothing. I don't wanna take the battery out as I heard that it can be devastating.
So, to clarify all of that, I have a phone connected via cable (yet no connection through ADB) to PC, so the battery would not discharge and the phone itself is stuck on booting logo/animation, the one just before it goes into the usual desktop screen.
How can I go about it to restore it?
Thanks!
Do you have App2SD ?? If yes it may took ages to boot when you do a first boot... But that only works if you had done a Nandroid + Ext...
Its fine to take your battery out,... Reset and give it another try at booting. If it fails again, try booting without SD in. If it fails again, try doing another restore of your nandroid. Fail again,... Full wipe then reflash ROM.
There is only risk of bricking when flashing a new radio and interrupting the process.

I do have apps2sd but haven't done +Ext.
When I soft-reseted the device it obviously went into boot loop again BUT I have managed to connect it to my PC through ADB now and wonder if I could use it to my advantage?

The problem is my phone IS stuck at boot loop and even if I soft reset it I don't have enough time to press POWER and HOME to go into Recovery so I cannot check if I could do restore. Would connection through ADB help as I currently after soft reset have it?
I have to clear something up my phone is in the boot loop but not as in that it reboots itself time after time - NO! It just sticks on the booting animation and that's it.
Oh, and running this "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img" through ADB just sits stuck at "< waiting for the device >" though I _can_ list the contents of my Hero through shell.
Also when I press vol up or vol down in the state with startup screen beeing stuck I can hear it same way as if I heard it in the working phone - as in beeping when pressing up and beeping lower when down.
I'm not so clued up on fastboot commands to be honest.
Take your battery out,... Hold HOME and put your battery back in..... KEEPING HOME HELD IN
OK! Finally after finding enough courage to do so I pulled the battery out as ddotpatel advised me to - I have to say it was scary 30s, real scary. Anyway, it seemed that his advice was correct and he is in fact a very wise man - THANK YOU! Afterwards I've done all the wipes again as I did initially and instead of trying to recover it from my Nandroid backup I just gave up and reflashed it again. It didn't work, so I reformated and repartitioned the SD card and it's all good now... And I'm a happy puppy! Actually, I'm no puppy at all but I am happy nonetheless.
@ddotpatel Thank you sir! You are a Gentleman and a Scholar and I shall praise your name forever on this and other Android forums alike. ^__^ Just a quick question though: removing a battery is prohibited only when flashing radio and when the phone's on the "phone & a box/arrow" picture, right? So if I ever have an booting/issue error whilst flashing custom ROMs that do nothing to the radio I should be fine poping the battery?
I know I sad it trice already but - ddotpatel, sir, THANK YOU!

No worries, mate! My post count did not go up to 73 in like 5 days for no reason. I try to help as much as I can and also would not run into those problems if I wouldn't flash and benchmark many ROMs (posting all the stats for the same configurations & settings) here for others to decide on their own which they liked best either. ^__^
Peace!

I'm hoping that you made a backup before you flashed the rom. If you did you should be able to boot into recovery and restore.
lol i think thats what i did. I backup everything using Titanium and rom manger on my sdcard. i just dont know how boot into recovery and restore. thanks for the reply
yep bricked...

and you'll need KDZ(run it in compatibility mode if using win7 64bit):

Go for warranty and see what happens..
lol hmmm i wonder what males can do with that.....
i was thinking about doing that and see if i could pull a fast one on radioshack
You did a nand backup before flashing Megatron, right? If so, you should boot in recovery using Home + Vol Down + Power and restore it from there. If not, you have no alternative but flashing the rom again (or any other rom). Be sure to wipe everything from recovery before that.
If that fails, you should get the official rom for your location and flash it with kdz (there is a very well done guide here on XDA for doing that, search for it).
And consider flashing Void next time, is more stable and has the same features (and more) as Megatron (hwacc, jit, oc, stagefright etc).
In any case, if the phone boots, even if gets stuck on LG splash screen, it is not bricked. It can be re-flashed easily, just follow the steps in the guides.

press and hold down HOME + VOL DOWN while the phone is off, then turn it on, keeping that 2 buttons pressed until recovery appears.
But if you have used rom manager, this won't work. Your only chance to unbrick is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314
rom manager don't support yet optimus t
The same happened to me when I flashed LOL rom. I was reading that it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes to reach the boot animation. My phone reached the boot animation in 6-7 minutes. How long did you wait before you removed the battery?
thats not working either. all i saw was a bunch of ppl with the same problem and eventually sent it to LG service
ummm like about 3 minutes cause i was freaking out lol. that could be it :/

I was about to pull mine out too after 3-4 minutes. I was freaking out also but had to go to the washroom when this happened. When I came back, the phone booted. If I didn't use the washroom, I would have bricked my phone, lol.
A lot of people have this problem because on the Optimus One it takes forever to load the first time. My samsung vibrant was extremely quick, 1 minute max
as soon as u send to warranty, the faster u get ur usable phone back
or just use it as vibrator

The phone shuts down whenever I hold Power button
This started right after I flashed KPH stock GB?? And continued even when I flashed JB
What's wrong?

Maybe I don't understand? If you hold the power button yes your phone will turn off, if you just press it briefly and it turns off then yes that's an issue.

No, if you hold the power button your phone will ask you if you want to Reboot, Turn off, Silent mode, Airplane mode.. etc
mine just turn off immediately.

Hi everyone,
I have an Alcatel One Touch Pop C5 (Alcatel 5036D). I made a backup in stock recovery before I installed the Xposed framework. After the installation i did a reboot but it stuck at the boot logo. Then i restored my backup but it didn't work, the screen just turned black, so after an hour i restarted my phone. Now I can't do anything, i can't even get in recovery (but it is a soft brick, i can still see the boot logo). I guess i will have to flash the ROM again but i'm a newbie (I installed some customs ROM's before but not on this phone), and no custom ROM's are available. Does anybody know what to do? I would really appreciate your help!
Here alcatel mobile upgrade software.it will give your your pop c5 zero
Xposed is not working on c5 pop because it has a rom odex
I'll try to deodex the stock ROM ...

You must wait a very long time after upgrade. This happened to me with xposed too. Just upgrade, follow instructionst and be patient.

Are you talking about the same model? Iohanbarth said it won't work because of the odex, so that's a bit strange. How long exactly did it take? I restarted my phone when the boot logo was there for about 10 minutes.

If we talking about Alcatel OT POP C5 then it is same model. I dont remember exactly how much i wait but it was around 30 mins and restarted few times. Then i go to stock recovery and wipe it and booted firs time normally. Im tolking about mobile upgrade tool not about exposed. I just mention that i soft bricked my phone with it too

Dont lose hope, try again with mobile upgrade s 4.0.5, run as administrator, select one touch 5036 and do it again. Look out for your battery must have least 80 %. On Alcatel site it says: Q9 Why couldn’t I switch on the phone after using One Touch Upgrade?
It might take longer time than normal to switch on the phone after using One Touch Upgrade. Please long press the switch on key to check again.
If it still doesn’t work, please take off the battery, then insert it to check again.
If the problem persists, please try to upgrade your mobile phone’s software by One Touch Upgrade again.
wish You luck

Dude i love you! I didn't give up because of you and kept trying. I finally got into recovery. You have to pull out the sd card, then boot with power button + volume up. The screen will be black as always, but if you do it again, the recovery is finally there. You can put the sd card back in and everything works, but it looks like my restore backup function in recovery is "broken". I will flash the custom recovery lohanbarth modified. Thank you very much, my problem is finally solved!!

im a new with this... i was able to install ctr recovery, my phone is soft bricked (i installed gravity box jb ) rebooted and now my phone is soft bricked... so i can get into recovery mode... thats great but i dont know how to restore or get working again... i promise im not lazy, i ve read a lot here still need like tutorial on how to do it ... steps to follow thanks in advanced
hello
to you do a backup of your ROM with the CTR? If so, you removed the battery of your C5 and gives you the up volume + power 10 second and you will be in the recovery ctr.
if its not working downloaded mobile upgrade to restore your C5.
PS: XPOSED Framework does not work on POP C5
pop c5 bricked

Thanks for replying (i dont have backups nor roms)
so...i can get into carliv CTR recovery .... i guess its different than ''stock recovery mode'' right??? so im doing the mobile upgrade workaround rightnow... will give it a try
my understanding is : once upgrade is done you wait around 40 min then try to restart phone and get into recovery mode? then wipe and boot (that should bring my c5 back to life right?)
when say wipe you mean like factory reset?
Now my question is ... When i do power button + volume up key it brings up carliv ctr recovery instead of stock recovery mode... would that make a difference for this work around???
u think i will be able to recover my c5?
thanks so much i hope it works... thanks in advanced , would like answers to my questions

Have you tried, or are you able to get into recovery? If so , maybe you can do a backup ( if there's anything to backup ) and then reflash the rom. Or if you already have a backup, do a restore.

To get into recovery you need to press the power button , then continually press the back button, ( don't hold it but keep pressing on off on off for about 30 seconds ). Only with the phone and battery, no USB cable! If you don't have any success with recovery you may need to flash a stock firmware.
Did you root the phone or purchase it already rooted? Do you know what firmware was on the phone before it was rooted?

Well..as i opened the thread with some statements above mate..
I was already using a Feravolt rom and kernel..And i rooted it and then flashed.
And obviously i know what/how to get into recovery.
But the thing is its not working without any good reason...
Situation like this happened to me before..
i was able to sues it then with stock..
But nothing seems to work now.
I guess i am not worth the seniors attention in here.
I shouldnt have opened the thread at the first place
but Hey, thanks for at least trying to help
Can you do a small test for me? I would like you to put the entire phone into a freezer ( not fridge ) for ten minutes, then take it out and see if it will power up. Will not harm the phone, I do it with an HD2.
