boot loop

[en28so]

Ok, so i'm stuck on a bootlop. I have clockwork and bootstrap installed,but i don't know how to get to clockwork. I did a backup. Help guys! With my orig droid was power x,how about this one? Thanks

I know the button sequence to get into recovery but once I go into a bootloop I've never been able to get into clockwork. Only the stock recovery( locked bootloader I presume causes this) so I load up an update.zip from sd card or sbf to stock if I have to.

Thanks for the link. But it's not working. I'll have to sbf i guess. I have used sbf before for my d1 so not really new to sbf. Thanks.

I tried them all. Intentionally put myself in loop. The only one that worked for me was the plug in one. I didn't even battery pull while plugged in. Pulled battery to stop bootloop, put battery back in, plugged in while off, liquid battery came on, let charge for a minute, held power til m came on, booted in cw. 4 times tried. 4 times into cw.

Just finished sbf to stock! it all went well, but at the end RSD lite didn't say pass. My phone went into a bootloop but I did a factory reset and it solved that. RSD said "please manual power up this phone". I just pulled the battery and went into the custom recovery and did a reset. I love rooting adventures! lol. Thank you abe 21599 for all that useful info! may you win the lotto and have a long life!...

Now, i'm on version 2.3.320. When I try to update to .340 it says i'm up to date? ok, another thing to figure out!

 

[en28so]

I guess I'll try the .340 zip that they have here. I love droid forums!

 

[en28so]

nevermind. I'll try the backup I have in my sd card to go back where i was before i go into this mess!

 

[en28so]

just to let you know guys, grom now on i'm flashing clocwork recovery on rom manager and the recovery on bootstrap also!. I think you have to do both before any attempt to move to another rom. Just my 2 cts.

Thanks for the update. You can always flash the 340 system only sbf to get there.

You mean to get to .340? I used one of my nandroid backups to go back where I was before. Actually I have one for the original system and one custom rom backup. Ok just flashed another rom(Darkslide 4.1), and it worked flawlessly. I went to sleep at 4am this morning doing this lol! Ok, time to go to work. Hey clumsyninja, thanks for your help also.

One more thing, in order for any of these methods to work, I'm pretty sure you have to flash clockwork recovery in rom manager and bootstrap recovery before you go into a bootloop. I hope this helps people to get out of those many bootloops without having to sbf and instead go straight into cw. It's funny when I tell the guys at work(the ones that have D1 and X), the things we do to our phones here. They think i'm crazy. Oh well, I just don't like being just another Joe.

 

[ClumsyNinja21]

Lol I hear ya. I didn't flash rm doing the plug method. In fact one time I didn't even hit bootstrap....
