I have a 5th gen Kindle (Kids Edition) that is bone stock. With the recent update it received to 5.6.2.0, it seems like it's stuck in this endless upgrade/downgrade loop. It runs 5.3.6.4, then it will upgrade to 5.6.2.0, reboot automatically. After awhile, it will download the 5.3.6.4 automatically to "upgrade" it, auto reboot to 5.3.x, then after awhile, it will find the 5.6.2.0 upgrade and upgrade it.
It seems to do this constantly and I can't figure out a way to get it out of this loop! I've reset it to factory, did the boot loader wiped the davlik, did a factory wipe/reset from there, and still nothing. The exact same thing.
I was hoping somebody could share a hint on how I can get this device out of the loop and back working normally again.
Thanks!

I got my moto x today, updated it right away to lollipop, then went to work unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing TWRP.
All worked great, and then i went into TWRP to do a factory reset so that I could have the setup wizard when i turned my phone back on to set it up.
well after I did a factory wipe in TWRP (now i am thinking maybe i also checked to wipe system as well, but im not positive).
after the factory reset my device boots to the boot screen, and stops on the blue m logo at the end.
So i flashed the stock kitkat images using mfastboot, and it boots to the boot screen and then shuts off, doesnt even hang at the end anymore.
What are my options/ what the hell did i do?
Have just a quick question regarding 64gb Nexus 6. On first boot after doing a factory reset, the boot animation actually shows up twice, so it goes from the spinning dots, then the android logo, back to the spinning dots, shows the android logo again, and boots into the phone. This only happens after factory reset. Has been happening since 5.1 ota. Just flashed the 5.1.1 stock ROM yesterday and it still happens. Also phone is completely stock and not rooted. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this. Thanks.

Likely the encryption, flashed mine this last weekend and it did that the first time after a reset
I have a security PIN set and it'll run the boot animation, then ask for the PIN code, then start the boot animation again. I would guess that without a security PIN/Password/Pattern set it might behave as you've said.
Hello all I am in a Real pickle here lol
I received a Nexus 6 today as insurance replacement (my awesome one did a triple back flip out of my pocket) I was able to start the "new" nexus 6 followed prompts data restored on device and prompted to install 5.1.1 updated went thru process and initializing then phone got stuck on a Boot loop of the google screen and would not get to boot animation so then i went into the boot loader menu and recovery and performed factory reset and wipe cache now the phone will boot up past the google screen into the boot animation and then freeze on boot animation then restart back into a google boot loop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (And before anyone says send it back T-MO by accident sent me 64gb N6 and I had a 32gb N6 hence the reason I am trying to fix it )
Thank you !!!

Try manually flashing all the android 5.1.1 system files. You can download them on Google's dev site which includes instructions on how to flash the files.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, just ask.
Hey guys,
I was using my phone today and decided to turn it off. I am currently on 5.1 and I am rooted on stock. When I turned it back on, I was kind of stuck on a boot loop but I can usually bypass this by holding down the power button until I feel a quick vibrate and then my phone starts doing the "Optimizing Apps...". However, it didn't do that this time so I decided to reboot my phone into recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik and restart. Again, stuck on the boot animation screen. So I just let it run its course and then all of a sudden I see my phone go to the home screen but my launcher is reset and I am running out of cache space. I decide to connect my phone to my computer and backup some files. As I backup the last of my DCIM folder, my phone reboots and all of a sudden I have the new Motorola boot animation with the stitching I guess. But then I'm stuck at the bootloop again.
Anyone else experience this or know how I can fix this? I reaaallly don't want to factory reset.
I recently did a reset via settings on a gen 1. No change in boot animation. I then did a reset via stock recovery and got the new animation. I then did another reset via settings and during the first boot it had the old animation but subsequent boots have the new animation.
Was running stock 6.0.1 in unlocked mode, and applied the 7.0 OTA Tuesday AM. Phone booted fine, with the exception that the 6.0.1 boot animation displaying. Phone booted into 7.0, so whatever. worked great for 2 days, when i woke up yesterday screen wouldn't turn on, so hold the the power button and re-start. Phone got to boot animation and stayed there for an hour until i shut it off, never got to the pattern unlock screen. I've tried wiping it, factory resetting it, installing TWRP to wipe and install, nothing, still stuck at the boot animation, no matter how long i let it sit. I've tried flashing other roms, with the same results. I can get into bootloader and recovery without issue, and can flash without errors (that i'm aware of) but always have the same result. Any thoughts? Or am i going phone shopping today?
