While attempting to get HDMI working, I stupidly enabled second screen in developer options in my aosp ROM, which immediately rebooted the phone. I'm now stuck in a loop whereby the phone boots and then restarts when loading the lock screen (presumably it's enabling the second screen).
Is there a simple way of resetting settings to default or bypassing this during boot? I'm away from home else I'd wipe and recover, so any help would be appreciated.
I'm using teamwin recovery if that's relevant.
Try clearing cache, if that doesn't work restore backup.
I think there is a safe mode, not sure how to activate it.
Also, factory reset is possible.

It can be activated only once the phone is booted afaik.

Thanks chaps,looks like a recovery cache didn't work. Lesson learned!
So you got out of boot loop or what?
Sorry, to clarify clearing cache didn't work. I ended up wiping and recovering.

I know this is an old thread but I think I found a solution.
If you wait until the boot animation is already showing and then hold down the buttons like you were trying to boot into recovery it should boot your phone into safe mode. Then you can go into settings and disable the second screen. It may be different on the one x than on my phone though. I have a note 2. I am just trying to keep anyone else who has this problem from having to wipe their device unnecessarily.

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

version I currently have, maybe not the newest (0.14), but works just fine.
I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.
if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)
When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?
One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.

If you have an installed launcher try to uninstall it in safe mode. I had the same issue and it was because my launcher does not support Android Kitkat

I suggest you go and use @scrosler 's roms. They're the cleanest in my opinion

From sfhub's link:
power the device off then
Press/Hold Power button until Google screen shows up, RELEASE Power button
Press/Hold VolDn until Android has booted up
If successful, you will see Safe mode overlayed on bottom left of screen.
Any luck with this? My Nexus was running Next launcher and is stuck at finishing boot after the update.
Okay, so I have a rooted, stock 4.4.2 G pad. I was never able to successfully get a recovery and I have no backups. The issue started when I used G2 xposed and I changed the multi tasking tiles. Now the navigation and status bars are no longer visible and I can't do anything in the tablet because the error message pops up and it won't let me navigate. The error comes back every time I turn the tablet on. Someone please help. ?
A factory reset should sort that out.

Have you tried the default way of factory resetting? from powered off do the following : hold power and volume down, when logo appears release power, now also hold volume up and hold power again so you have all buttons pressed. You should be given the option to reset.
Good luck.

I've tried that. When i do that, under where it says confirmed in the upper left hand, it says "Secure booting error!" I'm pretty sure it has to do with the failed custom recovery. Thanks for trying to help. (But don't think I wouldn't welcome more help )

You will need to touch quickly. Atfer the force close message close, you have .5 second to touch the screen before it shows up again.
Happened to mine. In my case, factory reset did not help. Flash stock kdz will solve the problem.
Hi,

Most likely you have a corrupted boot or system partition.

i have this problem too . please help me
i'm reflash stock frimware but phone boot loop .help plz
I'm having the same problem. any solution guys?
To all who has this problem, please do try to boot into custom recovery (if installed any) and wipe cache and davik-cache. If it still fails, please replug the battery, it should reset the boolean, and if it still fails, an RUU flash is the last resort before hardware issue.
Dear Friends,
if you have same problem with your HTC 820G Duel SIM ( after OTA Update of 6.0.x OS ) please call HTC toll free No. 1800 266 3566 ( Only for India )
even your Hand set is out of warranty,
send Email to them Because when i call to them they say you are only one who is facing this issue ( when i ask then to downgrade my OS to 5.x.x )
service center simply say Mother board problem and ask 9500/- for mother board or 173 /- as diagnostic charges
so please call to get your HTC working with proper OS
my phone is working properly just before 6.0.x OS update....
hope so no. of calls can make them realize real problem with there OS not in hardware
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE YOUR PHONE WORK calling HTC Customer Care Or Email ( i tried every thing posted in this web site but its restarting & looping... for all stock OS and CM13 and All other Nice OS / all recovery TWRP and Flashing tools i used but no luck...
