I have spent the last few hours searching. I flashed the recovery-ra-heroc and let it set for a few minutes, reboot recovery, and it just sits on the black screen with "HTC" I remove the battery, restart the phone while holding down the home button (yes, holding it down firmly, lol), and it just gives me the option to clear storage on my phone. I am really wanting to get a rom on my phone, speed it up. Yes, I used the search function on this forum. I really dont want to go back to the RUU and lose everything on my phone. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be extremely greatful!!!
I would try rooting it again and follow the process step by step. Sounds like something wasnt done in the process.

Sounds like you should try to reflash recovery. I think you are only getting into fast boot. You aren't holding any other key with Home are you?
That sometimes happens to me...i just click on the green/call button to cancel n when the htc screen comes up i push Home n End...n hold it down..sometimes let go of it n push them again and it'll work...not sure,but i think this just happens with the newer recovery image.
no, not holding any other keys. I rooted a while back with the chuckrhizco (or whatever?) method, and had no issues. went back to stock to get ota update. I still have the old recovery image, think I will just try to flash that one.
just had an issue withthe other recovery image. Flashed the 1.2.3. and it worked, nandroid backing up now!

my phone is not starting in recovery mode but the phone is starting perfectly fine can somebody help me!!??
how are you "trying" to get into recovery mode?
im hitting the home and power button but it stays stuck on the g1 home screen
is the phone powered down (completely off) before you press both buttons at the same time while holding both until the g1 splash screen shows up?
yes its completly off it stays stuck on the g1 splash tough and when i power the phone normally it works fine
are you sure you are pressing both home (second to left button) and the power (far right button) at the same time and holding it till the g1 splash screen?
also try removing the battery and leaving it out for a little while after you power it down. then try again.
also is the phone plugged in as you are attempting to do this?
i tried all of that and no its not connected. i tried doing an update with jf updater and it would try getting root access but oncce again it would just freeze on the g1 splash
oh ic...
well you should stated that in your OP.
try re-flashing the build you want.
wipe before you do so for good measure.
how can i do that? if i cant get into the root screen? would i have to re root my phone again
well from what you've told me so far, sounds like there was a problem when or while you were updating through jf updater.
since i don't know exactly what you did or did not do to your phone.
just go ahead and re-root your phone using the dreaming file.
start from scratch.
that for sure will solve your problem.
what if its going straight to hboot mode when im pressing the camera+power button
when i turn the phone on pressing the camera+power button its taking me straight to the hboot mode

what do you mean what if...?
if you are trying to re-root your phone then umm i would suggest you reading the guide step by step that is linked in the HERE link i have in my sig.
reflash your recovery image.
Definitely reflash. Something went haywire. Hopefully you don't need to get a new phone
I had the nandroid recovery rom working perfectly, then I flashed the Eris based 2.1 rom (did a backup with nandroid prior to it), however, when I went to flash Fresh 2.0b on top of that, I noticed that holding the home key whilst booting did not boot into the recovery rom. Currently the only way for me to get into it is with adb reboot recovery.
This problem still persists after doing a wipe of the Eris based, and a flash of Fresh 2.0b. It's not a huge deal (I only go into it when flashing, and that's when by a computer anyway) but just knowing I can't is somewhat irritating.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
this may be obvious, but you're not holding the HOME button after the screen turns on, are you?
you have to hold the home button WHILE the phone is still off and then press the power button, so basically press the home button before the power button.
if that is what you did, try reflashing your recovery image. 1.6.2 is out.
I think I tried it both ways, will try again. I hope it's not something as stupid as that, I'd feel like a tard
I did install the newest to see if that would make a difference.
Edit: Yeah, holding first worked. Could've sworn I did that. Maybe when I had the USB plugged in it didn't like that? Oh well, thanks and now I shall stay quiet for I feel stupid.
I tried downloading 2.3.1 through rom manager, but it failed for some reason. So I accidentally downloaded it through the phone, and as soon as it began installing, I got a little Android image with a triangle that has an ! in it...How can i please fix this?

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.
i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone
use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed
Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.
thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?
any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.
I previously updated my phone with the update.zip. It worked for a while and then started giving me grief. I backed up the SD card and then tried the simple root. After a few tries, it appeared to be successful. I formatted my SD card and then replaced the backed up files. I then backed up my phone with Titanium backup.
Here is where the trouble lies: I powered down the phone and held the volume down/camera/power button until it booted into ClockworkMod Recovery. I selected "wipe data/factory reset" and pressed the home key. The screen went black but the led stayed on and the keys on the bottom stayed lit up. It stayed like that for at least 10 minutes. I tried pressing buttons, powering on/off, nothing. Finally I did a battery pull. After the battery pull it allows me to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but won't let me reboot or anything. Anytime I make a selection, it goes to a black screen.
Now what? I'm freaking out here!
This has got to be a troll right? You don't use the home key to make your selections. The home key MAKES the screen go black, that's what it does.
You should be using the camera button to make your selections.
No troll, I sincerely thought that you used the home screen to select. I'll try the camera button now. Thanks for the info!
my guess is he's on stock recovery... not clockwork
I was trying to do a factory wipe. It is my first time to root a phone and use CMW. The camera button did the trick. Thank you!
If memory serves me correctly you do use the home button to make a selection with stock settings.
OP you may want to just use the Samsung utility to flash back to Stock EB13. After that you can root or do whatever you like.
I also used the update.zip to start with, and even though I didn't have any of the serious bugs that we have seen. I went ahead and flashed it back stock anyways and noticed an improvement.
You should be able to find a link to the samsung tool here, I'm sure its still on a mirror.
If not let me know.

Hello,
I'm on LG G2 Stock Rom on Kit Kat (4.4.2). The phone is rooted but no custom recovery as I just need "root" to run Titanium backup.
Yesterday, I attempted to update the 1 XML file to increase speaker volume. Upon restart the phone will stuck on LG logo and does nothing.
I can access download mode. So now, i'm downloading LG Flash Tool and KDZ file for my phone to flash all back to stock.
The question is now: how do I turn off the phone? Pressing power button will simply restart the phone - it never goes to off.
Another question: if I don't install any custom recovery, is there any stock recovery installed? When I attempted to go to recovery (by pressing volume down + power method), I was presented with Factory reset questions. I clicked OK twice and then Android logo appears (it seems like it's attempting to really do a factory reset) and then phone reboots.
If I can go to stock recovery, I hope I can access the storage inside and redo what I did yesterday.
Anyone can help? Or share some knowledge?
Thanks
The latest software upgrade was installed by using LGMobile support tool. I'm back to stock and finish with ioRoot.
Now, going to use AutoRec to install recovery (better to have custom now, so if this happens again, I have a way to access my phone data).
No answers given but it's no longer urgent now. Still if anyone found a way to off the phone when boot looping other than waiting for battery to run dry, by all means, please reply the thread.
Thanks.

Unplug the USB cable if it's plugged.
Hold power button for like 30 seconds straight.
To turn off phone ,just push volume down and power button same time for like 7-10 sec, it will be like restart , but keep them pressed until screen shuts off again (it will take less then 1 sec). Thats all

I didn't time 30 seconds, but I did press power button for a long time. Is this method for when you can use the phone? Mine is during boot loop.

I can't say for sure now, since I have my phone backed-on. But I sort of press these buttons for a long time at the beginning (when I wasn't really sure how to go to recovery mode). But good to know about this - (for next time ).
thanks both!
Only method i know to completely shut down phone in any situation is what i already wrote in last post.

Agreed.
it happen to me too when I try to install MIUI ROM.
Pull off USB cable and long press power the power button
Thanks. I'll remember this, if I got unlucky and stuck in booth loops.
For now, I installed recovery, so hopefully if this happens, I can still access my internal folder and do the require changes.
