[Q] Stuck in bootloop - HTC Droid DNA

I am running the Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly from the 11th, and also running crpalmers kernel 5.4.2. I had ART turned on, and was running Gravitybox Xposed Modules. While I was using the phone, while on the charger, it randomly rebooted, and showed the splash screen. The phone was just about dead when it was being used on the charger. While on the charger, the phone repeatedly shows the splash screen, followed by a black screen, and then a vibration like it had just been powered on, and shows the splash screen. This cycles while plugged into the computer. When first plugged into the computer, the computer (Windows 7) makes noises like it is connected and then removed. The phone is not recognized in fastboot or adb. I was able to access the bootloader menu by holding the power and volume down keys. Usually I can not navigate through it by using the volume keys, and it reverts back to the bootloop within 30 seconds. I don't know what is causing this problem, so I tried to give as much info as possible. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hope someone can get you sorted out. Never experienced that particular issue.

When I access the bootloader I am unable to select anything before the phone returns to the bootloop. I can't get to recovery or factory reset. I also believe that running an RUU would be unsuccessful because the phone is in neither ADB and Fastboot mode.

I was able to stop the bootloop somehow. Must have been a combination of attempting to charge it all day and the constant attempts to reboot into recovery. Now I'm in recovery, and there is no partitions. I am unable to factory reset or format data of any kind. I had pushed a ROM to the device in the recovery. I was unable to flash this rom, or the stock splash screen.

droid dna reboots/bootloops after usb unplug

Can't figure out why but my DNA won't boot to android unless plugged into USB. Once its up and running, USB unplugging causes phone to reboot and boot loop. Phone is rooted with s off running on ukb ROM. Boot loader and recovery are accessible.
Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks in advanced.

I have I've tried that through both twrp and cwm. Reflashed rom as well with no luck. I've also tried wiping sdcard and internal storage.
Try flashing a different kernel. If you aren't soff then maybe you need to flash the kernel recommended by the ROM.
If flashing a kernel does t work then you might want to go back to stock and then get your phone working and then proceed to do a clean install of the rom of your desire.

I did try flashing stock kernel but still same problem. Also tried the boot.IMG provided with the ROMs I've flashed but still the same result. I've tried stock ruu but never got it to work even after OEM lock the phone

I get that about causing the phone to boot loop if the wrong kernel was flashed but my phone only boot loops after unplugging USB. While connected phone boots fine.

Looks like we have tried just about everything that we possibly could have. You tried ruu back to stock completely relock? Usually if that doesnt work it may be a hardware problem and you might need to get a new phone through warranty or insurance. At this point i'm out of ideas of what you could possibly do.

yeah i was afraid of that =/ must be something relted to the usb slot. thanks anyways.
Unfortunately, i just ran into this same issue. Just wanted to post that going back RUU and relock does nothing. I believe that it is probably an indicator of a failing battery. This would explain why being on charge, the phone will operate. e.g. underpowered (voltage) when on battery alone.

[Q] Too much rebooting time after factory reset

Hello all
I was doing factory reset on my Samsung Galaxy y duos GT-S6102 using ClockWorkMod recovery. For this I followed these steps. After it, on rebooting the system, it's taking too much time. It has already been upto 8-9 hours and still in process and it's being annoying now
Please tell me what's the general time it takes to reboot after formatting using ClockWorkMod recovery?

So you are saying you can not boot into recovery or bootloader no matter how hard you try? The only thing you can do is boot to os and it fails?
There is no way of getting into recovery mode or bootloader?

No, I am saying that I tried both recovery or bootloader mode, it fails. And even booting in normal mode fails. The only thing I am seeing for hours while booting is the black screen with my phone name.
Unfortunately if you can't get into bootloader and have no functioning os or recovery there is nothing to do but JTAG, unless you phone has a download mode function. I'm unfamiliar with your specific phone but many samsungs have a download mode, can you get into this.

T-Mobile L769 - was rooted with LGPwn.apk
Followed this guide (I thought to a "T") but apparently I screwed up somewheres.
I believe I'm currently what you would call soft bricked. When i attempt to boot the phone i get the LG logo with "Security Error" just below it now.
will this guide help me unbrick my phone or am I now officially up $h!t creek?
if it helps the current KDZ was V20D and it was attempting to update to V20F but the update kept failing because we removed bloatware and then 10 minutes later saw a post informing us that that would stop OTA updates.
so you know.....a little help??

If you already have fastboot for the L9, just turn off the phone, take out the battery, run start in admin mode, choose option 1, plug in the phone when it requests, and wait 4 seconds.....insert the battery and run those commands.

When you connect, make sure to have device manager open and see if the OMAP drivers are installed. If so, you should get the inverted white LG logo. At that point, you need to run the commands.

Okay. Here's another way to install the stock recovery thanks to rarsenaux post in August........
Open LG Mobile Update (Make sure you have internet on)
Input MEID (located behind battery)
Connect phone to computer via USB in S/W upgrade mode (Vol+ then insert USB)
Let LG download and install phone recovery
NOTE: Recovery stopped at 4% install, but just leave it alone, and it will install correctly. It never went past 4%
NOTE: This will return your phone to factory settings like the day you got it, so you will have to re-root if you use this method.
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This worked but I didn't have to enter in the MEID.
I plugged the phone in.
Installed the driver while it went through a couple checks to see if the phone was connected.
While it was doing that i re-installed the drivers (actually did this part 2 or 3 times)
It finally recognized that the phone was connected and told me some type of software was up to date.
I opened up the drop down at the top of the screen and hit "Update Recovery" and let it do it's thing.
I can now turn the phone on without receiving the "Security Error" but my screens all wonky.
I've run LGPwn.apk and then reinstalled L9 Recovery but i can't boot into recovery to flash the tsfix. I have the option to boot to recovery when i open the recovery tool but the phone itself won't boot into recovery.

WiFi stuck at "Turning On"

Today my DNA said the Wi-Fi was "turning on" and it just hangs there. It never actually turns on or connects to a wireless network. I have tried rebooting the phone, shutdown, using airplane mode, etc. Even did a factory reset and it's still doing the same thing.
I tried "WiFi fixer" from the Play Store, that didn't help either.
Phone has always been stock, no root.
Any suggestions?
Turn off fastboot and reboot. Then see if it works. If not only option might be to restore to factory settings.

The ruu won't root or put a custom rom on your phone. The ruu will erase your phone completely and put it back to the way it came out of the box on the stock rom. In your case it will be the newest update that's the ruu I suggest using. It's very easy to do just follow the instructions on the computer screen. Hopefully it can fix the issue if it doesn't it probably hardware related and if that's the case and your within your one year warranty try and get a replacement. But we can cross that bridge when we get there. For now get the newest ruu which is 3.0.6 I believe from here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B32gqnbh2ZecYTlvV1dlZTVRS0E/preview?pli=1
That is the direct download link. The ruu needs to be run on a Windows computer I recommend Windows 7 and have the phones drivers installed for it to work properly.

Hey guys, after flashing the firmware and the RUU twice using the link provided the Wi Fi is working but it's still acting a little funky here and there. Earlier this morning, the phone rebooted when I tried to turn on Wi Fi. After it booted up, I was able to turn Wi Fi on/off several times and it worked perfectly.
Any chance that putting cyanogenmod or something on there would fix these intermittent glitches?
What would I do for a bootloader and root?
Newbie here, did some reading last night but there's so much.
If you look in the original development thread you will find it. Go to the website download the one for the DNA and then follow the guide. Once you achieve soff you need to flash a custom recovery. I recommend the twrp 2.6 beta it seems to work when flashing all the kit Kat roms I haven't tried 2.7 yet but if your feeling adventurous you can try that to. To flash a recovery you need to put your phone in fastboot and then use the command fastboot flash recovery and then you have your recovery on your phone. Then you can flash what you want. If you want to do this and need any help direct message me and I can help you out.
