Here's some explanation into what a bootloop, soft brick, and hard brick are for Android smartphones. And also a general guide on how to fix bootloops and bricks for popular HTC and Samsung Android smartphones. The most unbrickable Android devices? Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, any Samsung devices except Epic 4G Touch. The most locked down Android devices? Motorola, I love their hardware but the way Moto lock their devices down is the worst of them all. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ High On Android T-shirts available here: http://store.highonandroid.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I use Canon 7D for recording most of my YouTube videos, for my setup, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9gqH2ErDZE ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why You Should Choose Android Over iPhone/iOS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYgofunq3OE ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why You Should Root Your Android: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXMjVpMX2k ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Want to contact me?

  1. However, my phone is in the boot loop, but won't go into recovery mode, and it's not registering on the computer. :/
    It's an old phone, not too old though. It's an Optimus Fuel on 4.4. Anyone know the button combination for recovery? Maybe I have that wrong.
  2. I thought my phone was hard bricked, but it's just boot looping and it's just soft bricked. Thank God, I thought it was hard bricked. * breathes sigh of relief *
    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Anyone has any idea please help me.
    Actually this problem started while i was doing re partition and i unchecked auto reboot and my sgh t989 got stock on "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES AND TRY AGAIN"
    then i tried flashing twrp and i am now having above errors shoing in the images.
    I can go to odin mode and twrp mode and i can also install stock rom with odin and odin looks fine and at the end it says RES OK but when device reboot i get the invalid cache partition errors.
    please help!

  10. My good ole HTC one M7 has got stuck in a bootloop. Just chilled out messaging some people and a message came up that its restarting and now it's in a bootloop. Cant really get into recovery well I can but not select anything because it starts rebooting lol. Pretty frustrating. I have ordered a new phone but is there any solution for my issue? It's totally stock.

  12. Hi, I need your help, my Samsung galaxy nexus phone keep rebooting, I tried the recovery mode and wipe data, but it did not go back to welcome screen, please help !!, thank you.
  13. Lee I need your help I have a nexus 5 which refuses to boot up I think its soft bricked since the android logo on nexus is in a loop and wont boot, im running out of options here also another thing I tried to format the thing which prompted up a message "failed to mount/data/cache/partitions/persist" then it finishes and doesnt seem like its actually formatted. Ive tried pushing the stock rom into it but again the mounting error keeps cropping up. Im starting to think the phones internal memory is corrupt on a physical level. please lemme know if you know anything that can be done.
  14. lol lesson learned:

    never root your phone again
  15. it's a real brainwrecker...and very frustrating to the point that one would feel like completely just destroying their phone then it defeats the purpose of ever even purchasing it right? but these guys definitely should look into polishing up their skills when issues like "bootloop" "softbrick" etc. occur it's a bit
  16. Going to try finding a rom for another phone, and using it as a substitute rom
  17. I managed to soft brick a galaxy s3 by using refresh contexts in twrp, NOT reading that it could brick your device. Anyone have a ROM for the sph-l710 that I can use in twrp?
  18. Hello! By any chance. Does anybody know how to fix a ZTE Zmax Z970 stuck on a bootloop which doesn't have a recovery and only boots into FTM or reboots continously.
