[Q] Getting out of boot loop? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is stuck in boot loop, and won't pass the setup, AND USB Debugging is disabled. If i put it in recovery I will have an option to use ADB Sideload. Is there anyway i can use that to enable USB Debugging so i can re root and Re - image my /system? Or am i F****D? BTW Bootloader is LOCKED. Much help is appreciated.

If your phone does not boot you can not turn on and off USB Debugging and you can't do anything unless you made a Backup... did you make it?.

He is having a phone with boot loader. So he is definitely no having Samsung. Samsung has only download mode. So Odin will not work.
@leodani No offence, but your info about fastboot and download modes is wrong.
Fastboot and Odin download mode do not require USB debugging on. But as demkantor says due to locked bootloader, OP cannot use some fast boot commands.

[Q] Pin lock

I bought an atrix on-line and it was sent with a pin lock. They obviously did not know to wipe the data. Can I get around it somehow? I would like to unlock BL and root etc so I can actually use the phone. Any help is appreciated.
Ok I found an app called "unlock bypass" but it needs to be installed to the phone. Does anyone know how to push an app through adb?

Not sure what the command is in fastboot. Also does the phone have to be previously put into debugging mode. Because it is not. Thanks

Are you on stock rooted? Is USB debugging checked?
When you started the process you should have had it set to charge only, make sure you have taken all the updates in SDK manager..

Then unlock your bootloader again, flash recovery, and then flash this in recovery to gain root on stock. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0MEpGeG1ZWi0yNDA/edit click, file>download.. then boot go to the supersu app the zip installed in recovery and except the updates, verify you have root (root checker or something)... Check USB debugging.. then start the control bear process.. use .5 ICS version of control bear with this particular ruu

[Q] Too much rebooting time after factory reset

Hello all
I was doing factory reset on my Samsung Galaxy y duos GT-S6102 using ClockWorkMod recovery. For this I followed these steps. After it, on rebooting the system, it's taking too much time. It has already been upto 8-9 hours and still in process and it's being annoying now
Please tell me what's the general time it takes to reboot after formatting using ClockWorkMod recovery?
Sounds like you wiped your system partition, flash a new ROM or a backup

I am booting it into normal mode. Doesn't work
So you are saying you can not boot into recovery or bootloader no matter how hard you try? The only thing you can do is boot to os and it fails?
There is no way of getting into recovery mode or bootloader?

No, I am saying that I tried both recovery or bootloader mode, it fails. And even booting in normal mode fails. The only thing I am seeing for hours while booting is the black screen with my phone name.
Unfortunately if you can't get into bootloader and have no functioning os or recovery there is nothing to do but JTAG, unless you phone has a download mode function. I'm unfamiliar with your specific phone but many samsungs have a download mode, can you get into this.

T-Mobile L769 - was rooted with LGPwn.apk
Followed this guide (I thought to a "T") but apparently I screwed up somewheres.
I believe I'm currently what you would call soft bricked. When i attempt to boot the phone i get the LG logo with "Security Error" just below it now.
will this guide help me unbrick my phone or am I now officially up $h!t creek?
if it helps the current KDZ was V20D and it was attempting to update to V20F but the update kept failing because we removed bloatware and then 10 minutes later saw a post informing us that that would stop OTA updates.
so you know.....a little help??

If you already have fastboot for the L9, just turn off the phone, take out the battery, run start in admin mode, choose option 1, plug in the phone when it requests, and wait 4 seconds.....insert the battery and run those commands.

When you connect, make sure to have device manager open and see if the OMAP drivers are installed. If so, you should get the inverted white LG logo. At that point, you need to run the commands.

Okay. Here's another way to install the stock recovery thanks to rarsenaux post in August........
Open LG Mobile Update (Make sure you have internet on)
Input MEID (located behind battery)
Connect phone to computer via USB in S/W upgrade mode (Vol+ then insert USB)
Let LG download and install phone recovery
NOTE: Recovery stopped at 4% install, but just leave it alone, and it will install correctly. It never went past 4%
NOTE: This will return your phone to factory settings like the day you got it, so you will have to re-root if you use this method.
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This worked but I didn't have to enter in the MEID.
I plugged the phone in.
Installed the driver while it went through a couple checks to see if the phone was connected.
While it was doing that i re-installed the drivers (actually did this part 2 or 3 times)
It finally recognized that the phone was connected and told me some type of software was up to date.
I opened up the drop down at the top of the screen and hit "Update Recovery" and let it do it's thing.
I can now turn the phone on without receiving the "Security Error" but my screens all wonky.
I've run LGPwn.apk and then reinstalled L9 Recovery but i can't boot into recovery to flash the tsfix. I have the option to boot to recovery when i open the recovery tool but the phone itself won't boot into recovery.

Your Software/Firmware version is 2.06
Moonshine will work, it's how I got S-Off on my third DNA.
The first two I did the hard way.
Follow the instruction EXACTLY.
You will have to download the latest SDK tools and the correct drivers.
You must have ADB and Fastboot working.
Turn off your Firewall on your PC.
Uninstall HTC Sync.
This is all in the instructions. If you can't get it to work, maybe you shouldn't root your device.
Maybe tell us what error your getting????

If ADB and Fastboot both recognize device, then your drivers are okay.
Fastboot drivers are broken on Windows 8.1
Windows 8.0 and earlier work okay for me.
USB 2.0 port. Do not use a 3.0 port.
