Stuck on boot loop after OTA update? what to do now?

[pr3d]

Just had an OTA update and my maxx won't stop rebooting. it boots up and after about 15 seconds after the home screen loads, it power cycles. This has been happening for hours. How do I get pas this? reset it?

I can get into the boot options by holding the power button+lower volume key. But even after scrolling to the option i want- factory for example, and pressing the up button to select it, the phone just continues normal boot procedue.

how do I get this into safe mode? if there is one?

how do I reset this thing or just get it out of the boot loop?

edit: This was a rooted maxx

Were you rooted? Use HouseofMoto

yes I was rooted. I should've never agreed to that update.

Yeah man, it'll set u straight, has a step by step walkthrough, I used it to get rid of root before updating to 12.15.15...it kept my entitlement check too. I'm now on 12.15.15 stock with unlimited hotspot

As long as there is FXZ and you can access fastboot, you're good.

Yep, until we get 4.3, it came with 4.2.2

great..but PwnMyMoto won't root my phone anymore or is root not possible for this update yet?

They blocked that exploit, but maxx owners reported success with rockmymoto...read up for yourself before you decide to go through with it

is there any way i could rip a whole image off of a different, non-updated maxx and load it on mine in efforts to downgrade my phone or is that all not worth it?

If you have a developer edition you should/may be able to do this, but a locked bootloader will likely prevent you from downgrading to older software.

eh..I'll sit tight till there's an easier root out. i need to get rid of google hangouts and go back to talk. that's the only reason i needed root

I got stuck in a boot loop again as well.

I tried a factory reset through the settings, then updated to the recent OTA and got a boot loop.

I have now gone through the process of flashing using the HouseOfMoto method.

It is saying the OTA is ready to install again, any reason why this keeps boot looping the phone? anyone else with this problem?

voice commands quit working too. says illegal installation and when I try to "train" my voice it starts for a second then stops.

so is your phone stuck in a boot loop AFTER you flashed it stock using the houseofmoto method?
