So i installed a bootanimation and now my aria cant access the recovery/clockwork
it remains stuck on the bootloader in an endless cycle. The phone itself work's just the problem accessing recovery.
i also have a Nandroid backup on my SDcard if that helps :/
EDIT::: So after countless attempts of mashing unrevoked2 my bootloader finally got past the SPL entering clockwork and i restored my nandroid . but i'd like to leave this thread open for future cases for when it does happen to someone else and hopefully come up with a real resolution.
thanks

If you can access you phone and use any program you can try this program called Quick Boot. It will allow you to get into Fastboot, Recovery, and reboot phone. Here is the link hope this helps

Why didnt you just go into clockwork? Pull the USB cord, pull the battry to power down. Reinsert the battery. Hold the vol down button and press power. When Hboot appears, let go of the vol down button. After a few secs, scroll down to recovery and start clockwork. If you're in a boot loop when you bork the OS, pull the battery.
Funny you posted this, thought mine was a one off. I installed the new DriodX animation and it got stuck in a boot loop

i wasnt actually stuck in a boot loop/ the phone itself would start up and everything i could make calls send messages and what not. But if i went from the SPL(i think its called) and tried to enter recovery that's when it would send me back to the bootloader/SPL screen, the only option i could execute without it sending me back was 'reboot'

ah okay. Probably the recovery didn't complete flashing the first time. Glad you got it sorted out.

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!
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?
edit:i tried holding down the up and power keys with no luck...someone please help

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 am having the same issues. When i boot and hold down the power and vol up button, i just get the motorola logo and it sticks there until I pull the battery. I tried to go to bootstrapper and when i click on reboot recovery, nothing happens. When I click on Bootstrap recovery, it give an error where it looks like i need to root the phone.
All I want to do is get this phone to the factory settings as it has Gingerbread on it now. If you can send me something on how to do that, please let me know.
I did backup using clockwork, but since I can't boot into it, i can't restore.
Thanks
is your phone rooted? if not, then bootstrap wont work, and that also means clockwork wont work. to get back to factory, your going to have to flash the sbf, heres a vid on it:
http://kimete.com/sbfrsd.html
by the way, you dont get into recovery with volume up, you do it by pressing the x button on the keyboard when booting up, then pressing the magnifying glass button once in recovery.
So wait will or won't the phone actually turn on? If it'll turn on just do a factory data reset in android from the menu.
Hi, i installed CWM and did a backup, then install the 4.3 Rom from sammobile, then tried to do factory wipe, and it just restarted before finish, then it got stuck in bootloop, i entered again with cwm, and tried to wipe again, same result, then i tried to restore the backup i have made, but it never finish. then i flashed the 4.3 zip again, but still the same result, but now, when i try to enter to cwm, the celphone restart, and when i try to boot normally, got stuck on the galaxy s 4 screen...
any ideas?

If the phone is on, hold power button and vol down untill it shuts off, then without letting go of power button, move finger from vol down and hold vol up (so youll now be holding vol up and power). Hold the buttons until the samsung galaxy s4 splash screen comes on (with white text before the boot screen). You should be able to boot into recovery and restore your backup.
I know restoring your backup didn't work the first time but you should try again. If you have any other roms on your sd card that you can flash from recovery, try those if the backup doesn't restore again

you are holding the power button still even after you let go of vol down correct? Does the phone restart if you hold vol down and power for about 20 seconds (without the finger moving steps)?

Ok.... so I take it your phone does restart. If your phone restarts, it should be able to boot into recovery. Play around with the timing of the recovery button presses and try to get back into recovery. Do a battery and sim card pull. Leave them out for a minute, replace them and try to boot into recovery after replacing them.
If none of that works, I would odin flash the stock firmware and start over with it. Thats just me.

Good news, i left the cellphone charging all night long, then i entered cwm, everything fine, and i restored the backup...
But still, i want the 4.3 rom, What could I have done wrong? Maybe is because i didn't root the phone after?

If you want, try re-flashing it...but your really not missing out on much (major battery drain, no root, no new features). Im not sure what went wrong but its definitely not because you didn't root it after flashing.
Good to hear you got the issue resolved though
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.
