I've had this phone for 6 odd months now. It was cheap and it was both a phone and tablet in one. Apart from the camera data being deleted somehow it has worked fine up until last night.
It crashed and went to reboot randomly and got stuck in a boot loop. Seeing as it is a very uncommon phone, (I'm certain I am the only person with one in the whole of New Zealand) there are no custom roms and anything at all. So there are no custom recoveries.
I was going to look up make one but that is pointless with it stuck in a boot loop. I have tried going into stock recovery and wiping cache. No change, so I factory reset it. No change. I let it sit, off to let it die completely and clear cache/factory reset
I'm at a loss at what I can do. I really need the phone going but to my knowledge I cant get it running. I'm hoping some of the smart minds on here can help. I will provide any detail/media that people may require if they have any idea what to try to get it going.
Thanks for your time

I have no idea what's going on with my XDA II. I have not done anything to modify or upgrade it recently. But suddenly the phone froze one day. I tried doing a soft reset but the phone just shut off. Kept pushing power button but nothing worked.
I then tried a hard reset which didn't work either. I finally just removed the battery and the sim card and then replaced them. My phone finally booted up and went through the standard hard reset sequence. I restored my backup information into the phone. Later on it froze again...with the same problem.
I finally got my phone working, but it freezes almost everytime I try to do something. When i do a reset, whether hard or soft, I get stuck at the boot screen with nothing happening. I reset it about 8 or 9 times before i get back into the phone and go through the intro to WM2003 again.
When i do get in, i can maybe make a call or two before the phone freezes up again. Don't know what to do, but really confused. I was going to contact o2 because the phone is still under warranty. However, I have upgraded to the TMobile 1.6 rom.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this please let me know. If not, does anyone have the original o2 rom that I could get a hold of? Thanks for all the help in advanced.
Does the phone freeze after you restore backup or does it do it even when you use it from scratch after hard reset?
It freezes no matter what. Most of the time, it'll refuse a hard reset. I would reset it, hard reset it and the phone will just load up on the Tmobile screen and stay there. Sometimes i'll get that circle thing that shows the phone is doing a process...but it'll go in circles forever.
Sometime down the line it'll actually let me through. Then i'd do the whole WM2003 intro again.
So to answer that question, it's not only on my restore, the phone consistently freezes up.
Looks like it's time to avail of the warranty and have your phone replaced.
I know, but in order to do that I have to get the original rom because i'm on tmobile 1.6 rom.
Mate, did you try to reinstall the 1.6 rom? Maybe download the latest ROM version and try to install it from your dead device...
My phone is just freezing on the boot screen and sometimes i can actually get in and use the phone for a while. Does this still constitute it as dead?
Since I can't get past the boot screen most of the time, I can't connect the phone to the computer to install the 1.6 rom again.
However, I did get past the boot screen once and did manage to sync it with my computer and reinstall the 1.6 rom. No help...same problem...
Ok, i finally got in and managed to update the rom to the new O2 rom. Everything was working fine for a long time. I used the phone and no problems. I left the phone on the sync cradele over night and by morning the phone was frozen. Reset and getting stuck at boot again...
ANyone have any ideas?
i also get this problem.
I have found many ppl got this problem, but no one has solution.
so what is everyone doing about it?
OK. I have had my Atrix 4G since it first came out. I rooted it and installed apps and made customizations to it, etc.
I never installed a custom ROM since the tweaks I made fit my taste enough to not need to install a custom ROM. I have thought of it...but that is for another time.
Anyways, I recently changed fonts on using FontChanger and everything was working fine. However, last night I decided to change to another font and after rebooting my phone, I am now stuck in the ever so pleasant "Boot Loop".
I have tried wiping and restoring back to factory defaults, which appeared to work, but once I start going thru the process of setting up the phone and getting to the "home" page, the phone will suddenly automatically reboot and start to loop again. I can perform a reset which allows me to go thru the setup process again, but it suddenly reboots again after a few minutes.
I am guessing that perhaps the font is still causing problems, but I am not sure how to check to see if that is the case or not.
I have looked at other boot loop threads but I keep getting a bit confused as to what I should attempt or not attempt to do. It seemed to me that loading the 1.2.6 SBF might be my answer, but I have read that I could brick my phone doing that. Not to mention that some of the download links are dead....
Sorry for being yet another numbnutz and the long thread, but I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to recover!
Thanks!
Ok... So after resetting my phone a few times I noticed that it goes into the boot loop cycle once the screen shuts off/or goes into sleep mode. If I keep the system from going to sleep everything appears to work fine.
My guess is still a font issue, but I thought a factory reset would've replaced the font back to default.
Anyone experience this issue or something similar to it?
And as a second thought can someone link me to the default fonts that I can try to reload?
UPDATE: well it looks like i am good to go again. It just occured to me that I can just download and use FontChanger to replace the bad font with the stock font. i let me phone go to standby mode and it didnt boot loop.
MODERATOR - Please feel free to close this thread as I believe I solved my own problem.
ok, here comes the story.
i know you guys hate when we open new forums, but this here is a topic that i have been dealing with since about 2 weeks ago.
also, i wanted to thank you all for your help,ever since than...
the problem started as i said, few weeks ago. i have an s2, i tried to install a rom, and an error occued. the problem was know that i needed to factory reset and wipe the data from the phone in order to boot the phone. this was not possible due to an internal error (i got sucked), later on, i also discover that the problem i faced was due to the partions inside my phone.so, i tried to fix the partions, but i was unable,until i found a thread here dealing with the same problem on Note 2. so after a lot of work, i was able to repartion my internal memory (lost 6 GB) to fix partions 9, and 10. once that was done i was able to wipe data and factory reset.the problem was now that i was unable to install any rom using odin except CM10 which stucked also at the end of the process. but luckily for me i was able to get into the recovery of CM10 and i installed from the restriction remix rom. after wiping and factory reset, i was finally able to boot successively into the home-screen.
now, my phone seams to have swamped the internal and external memories. in the build in device manager of rr-rom, i only see my memory card labeled as internal. but this is not the big deal. the real problem is that this phone constantly keeps on restarting itself from time to time. so, it shut down from alone, tries to boot up, gets stucked at the logo, reboots itself several time in the same way, until in finally boots successively,
any help??
ah, i just wanted to add a funny fact, which is that on the day i fixed my phone,i accidently dropped it in the toilet (it fall from my pocket, no bad ideas please, it was fully at random from alone). i manged to save it also at that day. so, i some got a feeling that this phone just don't want to get repaired
Reinstall stock rom and start from scratch.

Well I have seen some ridiculous generic topic titles in my time (like "Help" and "Help please" etc) but this topic with its complete lack of a title just takes the crown as the most idiotic.
Hey guys, so I've gotten myself out of boot loops before but this time I need one of ya'lls superior minds to help me out, if ya'll got the time.
I'm running a rooted, bootloader-unlocked HTC One M8 (TWRP recovery, custom ROM) that I've been using the past couple months with only some battery issues. Yesterday at work, my phone turned off for no reason, and every time I turned it on, it would turn off after reaching the boot logo. Low battery, no biggie. I got home and plugged it in, but this time it would just stay on the HTC One logo.
Wearily, I decided to do a factory reset, but after still no luck, I tried an advanced wipe (cache, data, internal storage [not system]) and took out my SD card, but nothing new yet. While searching for this problem, I came up on a lot of threads saying the factory reset didn't wipe anything from their phone, could this be a possibility?
Is there something I haven't done (or done wrong), or is there any way to fix this without using an RUU?
Bump; I tried to use the RUU I used before, but it got stuck at 28% and after searching for the problem, deemed it safe to terminate the application and start anew, but now my phone can't boot to recovery and just keeps turning on then off.
Halp?
...well to start this off I pretty much simply put have my phone stuck in a bootloop without recovery that I know of. I a noob when it comes to android and had my phone rooted for the last few months when a few days ago my phone somehow got stuck in a bootloop and the only think I can seem to do it go to the factory reset screen where when selecting to erase all it quickly follow to going bakc to the hellish bootloop. If someone could help me out that would be so much appreciated as I need to be able to use my phone here soon for important matters. remember im a noob but I can follow directions! Thank you
i got bootlooped after marshmallow update. thats all it took. tried everything to fix, nothing worked. managed to boot in a freezer though, so you can try that to retrieve your files. i shipped it to LG, theyve been trying to fix it for two weeks now... but youre rooted so i guess your warranty is gone.
