Were you 100% stock before you've relocked the bootloader? If not you've probably bricked your phone. What do you get when you press all the buttons? Can you get into download mode?

Actually, this is working fine, the only problem with turning on, when I am restarting my device, it is restarting normally. the only problem with Turn ON process. again one thing yesterday I was trying to factory format but nothing happen, it got into bootloader screen.
yes, I can get into download mode.

Try reflashing the bootloader, it may solve the issue.

[Q] Help please. Phone stuck in bootloop can't get into recovery

So here's the gist of it all...
I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is why I'm in this forum) that has been unlocked and rooted using the HTC-Method and is still S-ON. I am using TWRP and my rom is the MeanRom ICS version 4.9. I didn't change any of the settings (i.e. I didn't change any of the values that would affect performance). My phone has been working fine up until this point which is why I am currently asking you all for your help. Last I checked everything was working fine until my phone tried to connect to multiple WiFi access points at the same time and the system crashed I'm guessing and is currently looping.
I have tried a hard reset by holding down the power button til the soft keys blinked and the phone turned off, but it boots itself back up and goes into a loop again. It won't stay turned off and won't completely turn off. I have tried holding the power and up button to get into recovery and it doesn't do anything. I've tried holding the up button as it goes into the next loop to no avail.
For those familiar with MeanRom, it goes past the HTC screen that says this rom is for development purposes etc...then shows the little blue, roaring android, and finally gets the the MeanRom ICS boot logo. At start up there is a buzz like a text message comes in and right before the phone fully boots there is a smaller, softer vibration. My phone gets to this point and then freezes and reboots.
Sorry for the long post, but I figured the more information I give, the better my chances of getting some help. The battery was at about 85% when it went into this bootloop so I'm going to try and just have it discharge itself and charge it up and see what happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Have you tried clearing dalvik and cache? Sometimes that helps

I can't get to recovery, bootloader...nothing. I can't do anything, it just keeps looping. I can't even turn it off.
Hold power until it turns off and then hold power and volume down, it should boot to bootloader and then you can select recovery. Have you tried to boot in safe mode

I mentioned before that it won't let me get into recovery. It doesn't work
No, you clearly wrote you held power and up. I said power and volume down, they are in fact not the same thing

What about safe mode? Hold volume down when you get to the splash, it will hang a bit and vibrate then you let go and it will force safe mode

It vibrates, hangs, then reboots again.
When you try to get into the bootloader are you sure you're letting go? Once the phone turns off you need to let go of power and then hold power and volume down. Some people seem to think you hold power and volume down till the phone restarts and keep holding it, I don't know how people came to that conclusion.

I got it to go into safe mode, shut it down completely and then got it to go into recovery. Wiped and reinstalled and now it's working. Thanks for your help with this!
Complete noob here, sorry if this is a repost
I haven't been able to find a situation exactly like mine. If there is, I apologize in advance for this being a repost. Yes, I am a stupid noob. I had my EVO 4G LTE on HBOOT 1.19 and I unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery and did all the necessary steps (including kernel adaptations) to flash CM10. Upon doing this I also got stuck in the bootloop and couldn't access recovery. I took it to a Sprint store and they somehow got it back to TWRP recovery and it's currently at the TWRP menu. Here's the problem: I didn't do a backup before doing any of this and I don't have anything to backup to (shoot me). I'm afraid that if i try to get back to the bootloader menu that I will screw it up even more. What do I do/download to get it back to stock? Any help toward this desperate noob would be extremely appreciated

I unbricked my phone with this guide. my phone was in a OS bootloop but it works, in your case, a Kernel Bootloop. Its a very good guide. You DO NOT need to root your phone. When flashing, instead of pressing back you press volume down. The phone should be able to enter what it is called, flash mode regardless of what problems. After flashing ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Just follow the guide.

OTA Update..failed??

Hi,
I tried to update my m8 to 5.0 from kk, and I think the installation process was interrupted. My phone now boots to this screen only. My phone is not rooted and has a locked boot loader. Purchased in March. Any tips?
Thanks,
Matt.
When at that screen press volume up and power. Your suppose to see that screen on a stock restore screen. When I seen that I freaked to lol.
OK I will try that, should it boot automatically?
This did not work..

Make sure you hold vol up, then just tap and release the power button. Lots of folks mistakenly think you are supposed to press both at the same time, like this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/how-to-enter-stock-recovery-htc-one-m8-t3085254
Ok, I just got home from work and this entered recovery. Will factory reset fix?

Yes, turn your phone off and connect it to pc by pressing volume down. This will activate flashmode.
Shut off your phone by pressing Power button + Vol UP button. Switch it on again and try to see if you can boot the phone successfully.
What is "cmd"?

You must first switch it off by pressing POWER BUTTOn + VOLUME UP until you hear 3 vibrations. This will switch off the phone if it is stuck in bootloop or not responding.
after that, tell me what guide did you use to root your phone (give me the link)

the one that made me failed to root was, it failed to load the 2nd file, it said "couldn't load system-rooted.img", and it failed.
also i've tried to enter the recovery mode, but i couldn't, coz ofcourse it needs power to run, but every time i charge my phone it automatically go to the boot animation and stuck

I don't know at which step you got stuck but if you want to access recovery you can try switching it off (POWER BUTTON + VOL UP BUTTOM) and then, turn it on and when you see yellow light, keep pressing the VOL UP button.
However, don't follow that guide.
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/summary-tutorial-root-sony-xperia-z5-t3360515.
Just exclude step 6 and to backup TA partition just click on tabackup.bat (on Windows).

Have you already unlocked your bootloader right? If you haven't unlocked, remember that it will delete EVERYTHING in the internal memory

it - from time to time - shows the charging logo,
then just force it to reset: power button + volume down - keep both pressed until it resets (screen off),
then keep the volume down button pressed
<-- with the usb cable plugged in all of the time
That should get you into bootloader.
Note:
the phones behaves really weird and it could be that it shuts off while in bootloader.
In that case simply disconnect the USB cable, connect it to the phone only and then - while the volume button down is pressed - connect it to PC

MAJOR EDIT: Master Reset worked, is accessed by holding vol down and power until screen goes dark, release power when the lg logo appears, count to 2, press power again until factory reset screen, say yes, should put you into twrp (provided you already have it installed of course)
Is there a button combination to do this? I'm fearing I also bricked my us998 by dirty flashing from aospx to the johnfawkes stock rom after I randomly stopped getting lte connection. Probably definitely should have factory reset but there were a few pictures I didn't want to lose and now I am really wishing I had bitten the bullet on them to save my phone. Current situation is a loop at the verizon startup screen, vol down and power can initiate a restart and from there I can hold vol up to get the initial download mode splash screen but then the screen goes dark and the device starts to loop again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
