Alright, im not entirely sure what im dealing with here. I recently flashed the newest viper 1.2.0. Everything flashed fine, no problems. Then when i go to change the font, and the device tries to do a hot reboot, it gets stuck. Theres no way to power it down, or restart it, because long pressing the power button does nothing, as well as pressing both the power button and volume down. it just sits there stuck in the boot animation. no matter where i go, i cant seem to find anything about being absolutely stuck in boot loop, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction? its been stuck in boot loop for 30 mins now
It will take a while holding down the power button , Keep trying , Mine did the same thing and I just kept trying the power button and it finally took . Hope it helps , All isnt lost yet .

I've been able to get as far as installing Odin but when I try to enter recovery mode I press the up arrow on my volume and it shuts off! I just need to install the tab root zip . But like I said it keep shutting off I'm stumped can anyone help me. I tried following the you tube video step by step but its not quite going the way the video says it should be please help:O
i need help too actually.
My tab is running the latest firmware from Samsung but I want to try rooting for the first time. I found the guide on the forums but cant even get past the first step. I"ve tried powering off the device, holding down the volume down button and holding the power button several times, waiting for it to boot into the download mode but whenever I do this, it turns on,shows me the samsung logo,then shuts off.it does this in and endless loop until I let go of both buttons and it just reboots as it normally would.
Anyone have any ideas?
regardless, if your tab is powered on or off, hold down the volume down (left) button... then while still holding it... hold down the power button.... keep holding down both.... once you see the splash scree "Tab" in white... release power... keep holding volume down.
A couple seconds later you will be at the prompt to select download mode or recovery
I did not see this very clear in any of the guides, but it is the same for all 3 of my samsung devices.
Thanks so much, I feel dumb now haha. Its odd b/c thats not how the HTC boot menu works. you hold down both.
I'm a total noob. My brother flashed paranoid android for me, and it was working for a while, but then when I rebooted, my phone stuck on the foods animation screen. I tried holding power and vol up, but that only took me to the animation screen again. Next I tried holding down power, vol up and vol down, and it goes to the htc screen repeatedly. When I held down power and volume down, the option to boot into recovery appears momentarily, but I was not able to select it. The screen then goes to some screen that says HBOOT and my only option is to start an update. Selecting no only gives me the option to reboot, and selecting yes carries out the update, but nothing changes. Sprint is my carrier if that makes a difference.
I don't know what else to do! I hope this made some sense, and your help is greatly appreciated! Sorry for my ignorance and thanks in advance.
Take the sd card out and put in computer. Remove the file PG86IMG.zip, put card back in phone. Volume down and power should work correctly and not try to update when booting into hboot. You'll then be able to get into recovery from there.
Today I was going to reboot my htc one m8. But something bad happened.Help! stuck with formatting/cache... when trying to reboot. And I have been stuck with this for like an hour...
Then it restarts and the text disappear. Only a picture of small phone with green circle is on my phone. I can press volume+ and power to turn it off or volume- and power to restart it, but the small phone comes back every time. I don't know what to do...
please help me out....T_T
Is the phone stock, or any mods (bootloader unlock, root, etc.)?
Green circle is stock recovery. You can press vol up+vol down and power to get recovery menu options, but not sure anything there will help you.
You can likely RUU to get back up and running. But personal data will be wiped.
Its simple and stupid thing, but i found out today a500fu restarts by holding vol down and power button.
Although simple, this help me when my phone stuck at boot logo (I don't know at first that it's Power+Vol.down, I thought it was Power+Home lol)
Hi everyone,
Here's my first message on the forum ever and i'd have liked it to be for another reason but that's a call for help.
I just got back from my sister her OnePlus X that she dropped into the pool hoping that I could fix it for her.
The phone is stuck into a bootloop in recovery mode. I tried to install the latest official rom, wipe the cache and data and also reset factory the phone, nothing does.
Actually i found out that if i were not trying to start the phone for some times (count it in weeks) it would start and will be working just fine.
Until it powers off. As soon as it is off, the bootloop starts again.
I think that when she dropped it into water it might have oxydated the volume down button, which is not working anyway and controls the boot into recovery.
Do you have any idea on how to unstuck this button or how to prevent the phone from booting into recovery while the volume down button is stucked.
Thank you in advance, and while waiting for your answers, i wish u a pleasant day all.
Valentin
The temporary solution is this:-
In recovery before hitting boot system, just press your volume up key. The phone will not boot up. Now press power button for 10seconds and then once you see oneplus logo hit volume up.
You will see normal boot screen.
Mind that during entire process the volume down button was continuously pressed. I would suggest you to take phone to nearest service center.
