Root Triumph Boot Loop

Hey guys, my triumph is stuck in a boot loop and I would really appreciate some help. When it turns on I get the red Motorola M and it just freezes there. I also can not get into the Recovery, when I try to boot into recovery I get the same thing. I can get into the bootloader, and have tried replacing the image folder with a stock image; but I'm still having the exact same problems.

If anyone here has any ideas as to what I could do, I would really appreciate it.
 
Did you try to flash a different rom? What exactly did you do to get it stuck in bootloop?

I can't get into recovery to do anything to the rom. And I'm honestly not sure how it happened. One night I forgot to charge it and the next day it wouldn't boot after it was charged. It is still currently charging though, when I plug it in to either the wall or a computer the charge LED turns on and I can get the battery charging graphic to come up.

Have you pulled the battery for like 1 minute and then try to boot into recovery?

Yes. I have pulled the battery for over a minute multiple times. I have tried holding the power button without the battery in the phone, and tried plugging it in without the battery then taking the usb cable out and putting the battery back in. No matter what I try I can not get into recovery.
 
That's really strange. When you pull out the battery for that one minute, does the phone vibrate when you try to turn it back on or into recovery?

Just so that we're clear on what you're doing, do NOT have the phone plugged into a charger or your computer while you are trying to boot into recovery.

Also, perhaps your recovery.img is corrupt or something. Have you tried replacing that as well in download mode since you say you can boot into that?

That is correct, I always unplug it before trying to boot or go into recovery. And yes I have updated the recovery.img with CWM 5.0.2.6 found in this thread. I have also tried replacing the entire image folder with the one found in this thread. I have also tried the stock image WITH the CWM recovery.img file.

That is why this problem has been so frustrating to me. I am able to get into downloader mode fine, so it should be pretty easy to fix; but nothing I try seems to work. For a while I thought that maybe my volume up button had broken, but then I realized that it would just boot me into downloader mode when I tried to get into recovery so that can't be the case. :mad:
 
Did you try Dr. Who Themed CWM by agentc13 (5.0.2.7) cause for me when it boot loops or doesn't boot into a rom I'm messing with, sometimes it will reboot to recovery. I don't know if it is the recovery or my phone but the first time it did it, I was like man that's nice. Plus, through experience, it will not boot if you don't have the correct mbn files in the image folder. I would start by replacing all the files in the image folder except put in agentc13 recovery and see if you can get into recovery.

I just tried this to no avail. Copied over a new stock image folder and put agentc13's recovery.img file into it. Pulled the battery for a minute, then tried to boot into recovery; but got the same results. The phone boots, vibrates, and then just freezes on the Motorola M. I even tried holding the volume buttons and power button for about a whole minute and still got nothing. Thanks for everyone's help by the way, I really appreciate it. This problem has been very frustrating for me.
