Incredible rebooting over and over

[Saxton6666]

Hey y'all, My Incredible of 1 1/2 years has decided not to boot. It just goes through the two HTC screens and then the droid eye and repeats. I have read here about different solutions but I haven't found one that will correct this issue. I have lots of data; contacts, music, AK notes that I don't want to lose if I perform a factory reset. Does anyone know how to back up a phone full of data if it won't boot? My pc doesn't see it. Thanks in advance.

Nope can't do it. The point is to have it backed up BEFORE something like this happens. Your memory card and internal storage are not wiped by the reset, so you'll only lose apps, contacts, call logs, texts, settings, etc.

Mine actually just started this not to long ago as well, after working perfectly for a year or so. Although mine would start the reboot loop while you are in the middle of google maps or in a game. I have actually had it happen after plugging it into the charger, which let me to believe it was the battery. When it did restart, the battery was very warm and it wouldn't get past the first boot screen. I just replaced the battery with the seido 1750 battery and so far no rebooting problems. Although I haven't really had time to stress the phone and play many games, but going through an entire charge with 0 problems.

I know if you go to a verizon retail store and get a battery and that doesn't fix the problem you should be able to return it no problem.

That's funny..... my phone starting doing the same thing last weekend. I had to do a factory reset to fix it. I've never had an issue until then and I've had the phone since release day.

I also had the same thing happen about 2 months ago. Factory reset was the only solution offered by Verizon.

Mine started after I rebooted and added back WidgetLocker Lockscreen. Als happed after I used the lock screen from GO. The lockscreens do something...
