SunOS 5.8 UltraSparc II stuck in reboot cycle

We configured our SunOS 5.8 UltraSparc II machine to use a different gateway. We're using the Sun Gigabit Ethernet adapter and after rebooting we get flooded with the messages...
SUNW, pci-gem1: Using Gigabit SERDES Interface
SUNW, pci-gem1: Auto Negotiating 1000 Mbps Full-Duplex Link Up
...during and after the boot process. Eventually a panic occurs and the
machine reboots. If we remove the ethernet cable we can successfully
bring the machine up which suggests that the flood of messages may be a clue to solving our problem.
any help is appreciated,

Well somehow, I was miraculously able to get my phone into DFU mode by connecting the phone to the computer and holding down the home button. I kept holding down the home button for about 5 minutes, hoping and praying, and bing! iTunes on the computer detected the iPhone 4S in recovery mode! I swiftly downloaded iOS 8 to take advantage of this miracle, already accepting that I had lost all my data from the past three months, but it was to no avail. The phone began to install the update after extraction, but the phone froze with a thin blue line across the screen and reset itself back to DFU mode. iTunes said that there was an error (9) and that the update had failed. I tried again, failed. And again, failed. Rang Apple support and went through the tedious process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, creating a new administrator account on my PC, disabling system services and only allowing Apple to boot on start up, even to the extreme of sharing my screen to the apple support tech guy. Last resort was trying a different PC, but that failed too and they confirmed that it was most likely a hardware issue (this was after 4 hours of testing and waiting on hold on the phone, mind you) I was put through to a head officer at the support centre and I've now been booked into my closest Apple retail store so that my phone can get a check over for physical damage or unauthorised modification (of which there is none because my phone is in absolute pristine condition). I'm hoping that they can give me a replacement without cost, but that is unlikely...

Lumia 920 stuck in reboot cycle.

Hi, got my lumia 920 a week ago at the most. First day, wouldnt turn on after initial setup. Hard reset, this went on for a couple of days, thought an update might fix it, got around to it and now the phone is stuck in a reboot cycle, goes from Nokia to black screen back to Nokia and so forth. I tried the power/volume down key, no luck, before that, the phone wouldnt even open up settings, brought up a "loading..." message and back to homescreen. Help

doing a soft reset switches the phone on but most apps and settings do not work..it loads back to the homescreen. Do you have any solution.
Please help
Thanks

Stuck in reboot cycle

I have installed the Tech Preview Enterprise version and all went well, till the system got stuck in an endless reboot cycle, it reboots; gets to the windows logo, shows the progress wheel for about 30 seconds; then a black screen with the evaluation number
in the bottom right corner and then just stops and reboots. It has been doing this for several hours now, any ideas of how to break this cycle or do I need to wipe it and go back to the old OS

Hi
Can you boot into safe mode and then check the logs for errors why its not booting?

Blackberry stuck in reboot cycle

My BB has crashed for no apparent reason, corrupting some critical files. It's now stuck in a permenant reboot cycle, where it tries to start, encounters an error, crashes and then tries to restart again. The symptoms all fit with that described on crackberry (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry) . Specifically the red light comes on, the screen goes white, the hour glass appears, there's a small delay and then the screen goes black and the cycle starts over again.
Following the advice on Crackberry, I want to re-install the operating system. Unfortunately I can't stop the BB constantly rebooting. I've tried connecting the device to the USB, starting AppLoader and attempting to start reinstallation as soon as the 'USB:Unknown' device first appears. Crackberry suggests this should work, but what I actually encounter is the message 'connecting to device (ARM)' being displayed, followed by the port disappearing a few seconds later as the BB reboots again. At this point AppLoader fails.
Is there anything I can do to force the system to stop rebooting? I haven't installed any new software on my BB and I'm none to happy at the prospect of having to buy a new device because of bugs in the supplied software.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Luke

follow the crackberry thread but try connecting the berry with your battery out .don't go thru the desktop manager.go to the apploader .and start the process from there.once the process starts then put the battery in .

9360 stuck in rebooting cycle

Can anyone help on this? My wife's phone has just got stuck in a rebooting loop after an appworld upgrade.

I do not know exactly what you must do. I do know that, on some models, I have had to vary what I do from the exact instructions in the KB. But, I've never attempted to start your specific model in Safe Mode, because I don't have one. So, all I can tell you is to try different things, varying from what the KB specifically instructs, to see IF you can find the proper sequence for your BB.
All the time, though, keeping in mind this -- if the problem is at some hardware level, it is possible that your BB cannot boot up under any conditions, Safe or not. But, at an internet distance, it's impossible to truly diagnose such things.
Good luck!

B75A-G41 stuck in reboot cycle after bios update

Hi.
Updated to bios version 17.3 to hopefully utilize my 22nm i5 with 2400mhz RAM. Everything worked ok using version 17.1, but with max 1600Mhz Ram speed.
The update was done using Live update, because the updater available on the MSI site does not run on my system (!). (Win-7 64bit).
After flashing and reboot and clearing the CMOS this is what happens:
I get notified that the bios settings were reset. On the top there is a list of system resources. Everythign looks ok, the cpu, ram, and SATA devices are all there.
The MSI graphic is displayed shortly (maybe this happens first, not sure atm).
After I press F1 to enter setup with default values, it says Setup is loading in the lower left, but nothing happens for a few seconds.
Trying F2 to continue to boot also results in the same.
A few codes are posted in the lower right, these are C9, B4 and sometimes A2
The machine reboots and starts again with displaying codes, reboots etc.
Repeating the CMOS clearing has no effect, other than displaying the initial page with bios reset options.
I can not get into the bios at all.
I would appreciate any assistance.
Cheers,
Andreas

Try a full cmos clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
In the future, don't flash the bios via any windows program or live update.
Download the version you wish to use, then use the forum flash tool.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Iphone 5 IOS 6.1.2 Stuck in reboot cycle

Hey all,
I tried to do a restore for my iphone, got the phone into recovery mode and was doing a normal hard restore in itunes. While itunes was installing the IOS to my phone I hit the cable and the phone came disconnected. Now it Will only boot into the apple logo for .5 sec then restart. Only thing it responds to is a DFU mode, itunes reads the phone as in recovery mode, but when i try to do a restore the phone resets and then starts the power cycle all over again and won't allow the restore...

Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.2, I, too, have been having sound problems, but with my earbuds, with one side or the other being either full of static, or only faint sound. It is inconsistent, and does not always happen. Also, some songs in various playlists skip randomly, and others cannot be played when selected. This never happened before this release, and I use the iPod function of my iPhone 4s every day.
Also, the first time I downloaded an app, the iTunes store recognized my iPhone as a NEW DEVICE downloading an app for the first time, though I have had it since October, synced it many times, and have downloaded many apps. When I looked at my iTunes Store profile, my purchasing history was empty, even though I have purchased several apps this month.
iTunes Support says this (the download part) SOMETIMES happens after an update. I asked them if it happens sometimes or every time, since it has never happened to me before. No reply. They did not address the skipping issue, either.
Anyone else with similar issues?

Intel Mac Mini stuck in reboot loop

I just upgraded the hard drive in my 2007 intel mac mini core duo. Drive formatted successfully, contains GUID Partition Table.
OSX 10.5 installed successfully.
Machine rebooted, I ran software update to 10.5.7 successfully.
Upon installing Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Acrobat Reader, machine began to react slowly to commands.
Rebooted machine, went to Grey Apple Screen with spinning dash wheen icon.
Machine rebooted itself, once again going to the grey apply screen with the spinning wheel.
After about 15 minutes of letting the continual reboot cycle happen, I inserted the installation DVD for 10.5, held the power button in to power off the machine, and booted from the disk.
I ran disk utility. Disk Utility shows the hard drive, shows the partition (GUID Partition) correctly.
I Verified Disk, which verified as "OK"
Repaired permissions.
Restarted machine.
Once again, it loaded to the grey apple screen, stayed there with the spinning dash wheel for about 3 minutes then continued to reboot over and over (everytime it reboots it sticks on the grey apple screen for 3 minutes before rebooting.
I once again powered off the machine and reset the PRAM.
Machine stuck again on reboot cycle.
I powered off the machine and reset the mini's SMC.
Machine is still stuck in reboot cycle.
I have also taken the mini back apart and verified that all RAM and connections are seated properly.
Any advice on what to do at this point will be very helpful.

+And I promise I will not download and install a hundred different programs this time.+
Good idea.
Any time you install software in OSX, there is a small, but finite, chance that the installation process won't be able to access a needed file because it is in use. This can mess up pre-binding, or even prevent files from being updated.
So the best advice is not to run any other programs while doing software installs or updates. And when in doubt, run DiskUtility afterwards and fix permissions one more time.
I cringe whenever I think of a post I read a while back about a Mac user who boasted about what music he likes to run in iTunes while doing system software updates. Not a good idea. It's "Russian roulette" with maybe 99 blanks in the "gun", but one real bullet that can kill your Mac's installation.

Stuck in reboot-Volume needs repair?

Stuck in reboot. Able to reboot using my start up disk, ran disk utilities, after running "repair disk" I get the message "HFS Volume repaired" then I ran "verify disk" I get the message "0 HFS volume verified- 1 volume needs repair. I ran each, ""repair" and "verify" several times and get the same conflicting messages and I still get stuck in reboot when trying a "normal reboot". So it looks like my hard drive needs repair? I may have access to a "Tiger" install disc which I understand has improved disk utilities, should I try this on my Panther machine? Thanks.

As Sherry has already helpfully noted, the retail Tiger 10.4.2 (or later) Install DVD has a version of Repair Disk that has significantly improved disk repair capabilities compared to earlier versions. It remains true, however, that the best-recommended utility for handing disk directory problems is DiskWarrior. That's an option if the Tiger 10.4.2 + version of DIsk Utility can't make the necessary repairs.
Reagrdless of what utility you use, anytime you run a repair utility that reports making a repair, best practice is to immediately run the repair (not verify) utility again. Many times, one error blocks discovery of other errors, so you want to run the repairs until you either get an all-clear report or it becomes painfully obvious to you that the repair utility isn't working.
If you mentioned this earlier, I managed to miss it: what does Disk Utility say about the SMART status of the hard drive? If the SMART status is reporting failed, you might as well skip Disk Warrior and look to borrow another Firewire-equipped Mac so that you can try booting into FireWire target disk mode to recover what you can from your hard drive. Data Rescue has a one-file free evaluation mode; you could try that on the second Mac to see if it'll help you recover your data in the case of a failed SMART status.

Stuck in a Reboot Cycle

Hey all,
I sync'd my 5G iPod classic up to my new computer earlier and now it's stuck in an endless reboot cycle. It starts turning on (black apple screen), runs for about 30 seconds, and then cuts out and starts booting up again. It's charged up and doesn't respond to being plugged into the computer. I've tried doing the manual reset (holding the click button and menu simultaneously) but that won't snap it out of it. It's been doing this for a couple hours and I don't know how to snap it out of this cycle -- any help you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

My iPad is stuck in a reboot cycle after restore. How to fix?

I have an iPad 2, Wi-Fi only, earlier model, iOS 6.0.1, never been jailbroken. One day, it just went into a reboot cycle, so I restored it using DFU mode. Clicked "set up as a new iPad", it said "failed to set up because iPad disconnected" or something like that. Restored it twice more, didn't work. This time I left it on charger the entire night, when I woke up it was still stuck on the white apple logo. Tried to restore it again and this time from backup, still not working. Anyone had a similar experience with this?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Reset my iphone to factory settings now stuck at reboot any help would be appreciated ty

just got my phone second hand it is iphone 2g 8gb so i did a factory reset only problem now is it is stuck on reboot oh wat a pain any help would be appreciated thank you

Restore iPhone with iTunes. It may need to be restored in DFU Mode. To get DFU Mode, open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually 20 seconds time. If the screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Restore the Firmware. If there are any Error Messages write them down so you can look up the cause and solution.
