How to get out of a boot loop

I had that same problem last week, and I managed to resolve it.

My mistake had been to omit that reboot after unlocking the boot loader, so I got into that same boot loop with booting to recovery (TWRP) -> TWRP throwing errors -> TWRP causing a reboot -> rebooting into recovery again -> same error -> reboot -> etc. etc.

Here is what you can do (at least it worked for me); thanks also to the helpful people in the TWRP IRC channel on freenode:

Power the phone down during a boot loop:

It is not necessary to wait until the battery is completely drained by

rebooting hundreds of times.

There is a small time slot where the phone should accept "adb" commands during rebooting. So there is a chance to submit an "adb" command if you just send it over and over again. It may take some reboots to catch that time slot, but if you do it often enough, it should succeed at some time.

This worked nicely for me:

Make sure the latest Android SDK is installed (which includes the "adb" command).

Connect the phone to the PC with via USB.

While the boot loop is in progress, open a shell window on the PC (using

Linux in my case) and enter this command:

sudo adb shell reboot -p

(without "sudo" for Windows users - did not try that)

Repeat the command over and over again.

Use [Cursor Up] to repeat it from the command line history.

Do this until the phone's LED lights up and it shows a large battery logo on the display to indicate that it is powered off and charging.

! This might take many repeated attempts, don't lose your patience !

Disconnect the phone from USB.

Reboot into fastboot mode.

If TWRP is installed, this is [Power]+[Vol+].

If the stock recovery is still active, this is [Power]+[Vol-].

Break a boot loop that keeps booting into TWRP recovery

Make sure the latest Android SDK is installed (which includes the "adb" command).

Connect the phone to the PC with via USB.

While the boot loop is in progress, open a shell window on the PC (using

Linux in my case) and enter this command:

sudo adb shell rm "/cache/recovery/*"

(Without "sudo" for Windows users - did not try that)

Repeat the command over and over again.

Use [Cursor Up] to repeat it from the command line history.

Do this until the boot loop stops, i.e. you see the TWRP screen, and it does not keep booting any more.

! This might take many repeated attempts, don't lose your patience !

Reformat the /data partition under TWRP's "Advanced" options.

Just trying to wipe will fail at this time.

Reboot into recovery once more (TWRP -> Reboot -> Recovery).

Wipe (TWRP -> Wipe; the normal wipe which wipes data, cache, and dalvik).

Reboot the phone to system (TWRP -> Reboot -> system).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] S00perNoob:
Performing a sanity check:

I have a Note 4 with 5.1.1, Build LMY47x.

The Android development site is stating that the latest update to 5.1.1 is Build LMY49g.

So, my phone is wildly out of date, and wildly insecure, yes? Yeah, yeah... Android releases, then Samsung works on it, then it goes through AT&T. I get all of that. But are security updates to the phone really 8 months behind the curve? Or is there something I'm missing? Feedback encouraged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] HTC_Vivid:
Unless you have a google device, you are going to have to wait very, very long for updates, months to years. Note 4 is supposed to have Marshmallow late this month or next month, but then again it was expected to be released in Janurary, but then changed to February. Just sit by and let them slowly release the update as they load it with unnecessary applications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] di297:
The battery drain of Lollipop is driving me crazy and since theres no way to go back to kitkat Im stuck with this so I wanna know if theres a way to update to marshmallow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
There will be no way to go to marshmellow as there is no Sammy base to build on and there is no bootloader unlock.

Just go to Stang's Lolipop ROMs and get the modules which greatly helps with the battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JoshwaDroid:
even after sammy update all devices to marshmallow (S7, S6, Note 5, S5, etc.)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yes. They have dropped support for the s4. It's not that it can't run marshmellow so much as to get people to buy their latest phones.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfolea:
Hello there community!

I have a canadian Galaxy Note 5(SM-N920W8) and usually it was shown in my router device list as any other android device (android-xxxxx....) but I just noticed today that its name changed to this very long company name and i have no idea why since I haven't made any big changes on my phone or try to tamper with its hostname, it's also not rooted. The IP and MAC address do correspond in both the router and the Note5.

This is that "very long company name" : Shenzhen ViewAt Technology Co.,Ltd. E043DB (base 16)Shenzhen ViewAt Technology Co.,Ltd. 9A,Microprofit,6th Gaoxin South Road, High-Tech Industrial Park, Nanshan, Shenzhen, CHINA.shenzhen guangdong 518057CN

A google search of this name led me to this site https://services11.ieee.org/RST/sta...nts/download/?registry=MA-L&format=html&text= and I see that its an IEEE standards website so they might manufacture a part or the wifi card of the Note5?

Something similar happened at the same time, my dad has a canadian Galaxy S5(SM-G900W8) and it used to show as (android-xxxxx....) too but now I see this : Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

What could have made these changes, Is there anything that I'd need to worry about like a malware/virus or something like that?

My router(Asus RT-AC56R) had a firmware update a few days ago so I assume they maybe changed the way the router reads the infos from the devices?

Please let me know what you guys think, thank you.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertofelce:
Hey guys, I hope you could answer some questions about nandroid backup and custom/stock ROMS.

Currently I have installed on my Note 3 SM N900 Android Lollipop 5.0, it is a stock samsung ROM. I've never flashed a custom ROM before. Recently I flashed a Custom Recovery and Rooted my phone. I would like to install a CM 12.1 ROM, I really hate all the bloatware on samsung stock ROM (Although I used Root Uninstaller, I'd like a clean android OS).

Searching on Google I found that doing a Nandroid Backup is as easy as going into recovery mode (Custom Recovery) and make a Back Up of everything, I mean "boot, System, Data, Cache, EFS, Radios", that is how is showed on TWRP v2.8.7.0. But there are other things showing up below this options, like "enable compression, skip MD5 generation during back up, disable free space check"

which options do I need to select if a want to make a full nandroid backup?

what does "skip MD5 generation during back up, disable free space check" options mean?

let's say I do a full nandroid backup, and a EFS folder (which I did the second I rooted my phone), and then I flash a Custom ROM, but there are too many bugs, or I just miss samsung stock ROM and I wanna go back to my previous ROM.

I'd just need to enter in recovery mode and do a restore of my previous nandroid backup (a stock ROM backup) and that's it? It'd be that simple? I'm thinking I'm missing something here.

Hope you can answer these doubts of mine. Thanks in advanced! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
YES Its that simple backup to ext sd card restore that backup .

.

"skip MD5 generation exactly what it says it generated no MD5 signature ( see Google md5)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalnoob34:
Skipping MD5 generation means that you won't be able to check file integrity when restoring it. Not advised.

Disable free space check means that recovery won't check if it can store the backup files in the available space. Again, not advised.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrhtuner:
Hey guys, I know I am pretty new to this but I've spent all morning and day so far working on my LG G2 T-Mobile D801 on Lolipop 5.0.2

I've initially tried to follow a guide to install the CloudyG2 3.3 version. I was able to root it at home last night using the one_click_root, wiping the 3 sections and installing CloudyG2 3.3. Something went wrong at the end and the phone would just turn on, flash LG and go away.

Well after digging around all morning, I got it back using the following guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Now I am back to basics, my phone is where it should be and I want to re-start the process of rooting it but my main issue is whichever method I try to root with, nothing works.

I have tried the one_click_root (GUI and script) and it does the same thing. The software sits at 90% while the phone at the upgrade window sits at 0%.

I have tried to open SuperSU as another guide called for using that to root, but I am getting that "there is no SU Binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it".

I've treid IOroot and the same thing. The process will run, the phone will go into that firmware update window but sits at 0%

When I've tried to reflash the phone back to the D801 T-mobile .kdz, the process runs good and the firmware update window works as it should (detecting com port and all).

I have installed all the LG drivers, nothing shows up with an exclamation mark.

Is it possible that somehow I've corrupt a section of the filesystem that stores the root/SU info?

Is there something I can do to try to completely wipe the phone including any partitions and bring it back to a factory specification (I've tried hard reset also) so that I can re-attempt to get root?

Thank you
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrhtuner:
So a small update.

After doing the D801 T-mobile .kdz reinstall and trying to root right off the bat...the LG one click root program would not complete.

I did notice that once I had network connectivity, the OS prompted me for an OS update.

I just completed that and tried to root again using the LG one click root program...it worked.

I am able to confirm Root now via SuperSU or TWRP Manager.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrhtuner:
Thanks igli83, I will give that a shot next time around.

So I've ran into another problem. As I've been trying to follow multiple guides and such, wherever the recovery data gets stored, I think I have some corrupt data there.

When I use AutoRec to flash TWRP and then use QuickBoot to boot into the recovery mode, my phone bricks.

I then have to use SRKtools (option 5 in menu then unbrick option) to get my phone back up. When I mean it bricks, it creates those 15+ internal hard drive's in windows and won't power on/show anything.

Is there a way I can fully reset the file structure/data to factory? or is there a way to correct my recovery issues?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnashville:
Okay, let's see what we can do. First of all, use this program http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html to uninstall all LG related things and start fresh. Use advanced scan after the uninstall runs and delete all the leftover files, then restart your computer.

Then download the LG United drivers http://oceanhost.eu/x1b0tjlhzw1z and install them, and restart again.

Then, make sure your G3 is completely OFF by pulling out the battery and putting it back in. While it's off, hold down the Volume UP button on your phone and plug the USB cord in from the computer. If your phone doesn't enter download mode, try pulling and inserting the battery again and repeat.

If entering download mode works, then download your corresponding kdz from here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/

I suggest downloading a KitKat kdz, which will have D85510(x) in the file name, eg. D85510a or D85510f.

Then download LG Flashtool 2014 here: http://oceanhost.eu/mipqojfvv9ti/LG_Flash_Tool_2014.zip.html

Unpack and run the Flashtool, with settings as

Select Type: CDMA

PhoneMode: DIAG

Select KDZ File: the KDZ you downloaded

Then choose CSE Flash. This will wipe everything and give you a completely fresh flash.

In the next window, only click START. Then choose your country and language and click OK.

Wait until it's 100% complete.

If it bootloops after all this, follow LG's instructions for master reset with hardware buttons here: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-7590#master_reset

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Also, make sure you hold UP the whole time it's booting

You have to fastboot oem unlock, fastboot boot twrp and then just flash sideload the zip.

Make a backup of your /system/fonts folder, or reflash system.img if you want to go back...
