When an Android device is stuck in
a boot loop : An Android device
getting stuck in a boot loot is
usually caused by installing a new
ROM over an existing one without
first deleting the files associated
with the previous ROM. To fix this,
you'll need to format the Cache
partition in recovery mode by:
· Powering down your
device
· Booting it into
Recovery mode ( * Note
that the method of
booting into recovery
mode varies with the
device in question so
google the exact
method for your device.
Generally, holding down
the volume down button
and then pressing the
power button does it).
HTC phones will have to
then select "Recovery"
from a menu, while
other phones will boot
directly into
ClockworkMod
( ClockworkMod
Recovery will be
displayed at the top )
· Using your volume
keys to navigate the
menus, and your power
button to select the
menu items.
· Scrolling down to
'Advanced', and
choosing "Wipe Dalvik
Cache".
· Returning to the main
screen upon completing
the previous step then
choosing "Wipe Cache
Partition".
· Heading to "Wipe
Data / Factory Reset" to
delete all your settings
and apps, but ensuring
you are using the
correct ROM.
· Rebooting your phone.
· *Note: If the problem
still persists, delete all
the cache files and the
user data then do a new
flash of your desired
ROM.
