Apex 1.4.0 - wont get past boot animation! Help!

[Mqureshi79]

Hello All,
Need some help! Been using Apex for a week or two (love it). Last night my battery drained to the point where my phone died. When got home, I plugged it in to charge. Now when I turn it on, it's stuck on the glowing "apex" boot animation. Won't get further?

Any thoughts? I think if I can't get any further, I may boot into recovery and just flash to 1.4.1, but I'd rather solve this problem first. Any help would be welcomed!

Hmm. Have you tried doing a battery pull? Try that. Also you could try booting into stock recovery and wiping cache that may help.

yeah... done a few battery pulls... same thing. Booted into recovery and tried to wipe cache... didn't work either. siiiigh... looks like i'll have to flash to 1.4.1. I'll keep you posted.

hey, little help - downloaded 1.4.1, but how do i flash into clockwork recovery from the power off state? tried power+volume down, but that didn't seem to work... any thoughts?

okay, heres my update:
- couldn't get into clockwork
- went into standard droid x recovery
- did factory reset - that took me to original 1.4.0 apex
- signed in, downloaded rom manager / bootstrapper / flashed clockwork
- installed 1.4.1. from sdcard
- looks like its working fine... like the thx sound on load

Boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache.

Edit: looks like you got it going

Syntax question:
Is what the OP experienced the thing I've heard described as a "bootloop"?
