[Q] Bluetooth works but suddenly causes bootloop. Is this due to faulty firmwares?

Hey guys, I bought a Galaxy Nexus almost a week back but as its not launched officially in India its not under warranty and so I can't get it replaced.
Out of the box it came with ICS. Everything was going fine including Bluetooth file transfers. But the phone went to a boot loop (stuck at boot animation) when I tried to activate Bluetooth. Mind you that Bluetooth had been working fine, I got this issue all of a sudden.
I went into recovery mode and recovered my phone but all data was lost.
Later I updated to official stock ICS. Again the Bluetooth worked fine for few days and later suddenly went into a boot loop. I recovered my phone but this time too lost all my data.
Now I'm obviously very scared to use Bluetooth. Some people say that its a faulty firmware and I should flash another firmware.
What shall I do? Could this really be a firmware issue? And if yes then which firmware shall I flash and how to flash?
Currently I'm on stock JB on my GSM GNex which is unrooted and has a locked boot loader.

Never heard of this. With all data lost, do you mean the /sdcard partition as well?

I'm sorry I didn't get you. GNex doesn't have a SD card slot, right?

Correct. That's why I said partition.

Well this is my first Android so I don't know much about partitions.
Well when I wipe my phone / factory reset, ALL my data gets removed including images, music, videos, contacts, messages, calendar events, 3rd party apps, etc.

Someone please help.

Bluetooth Boot Loop
Im having the same problem.. Please let me know if you found a solution.. I'll give you update if I find one myself..
The list of Android units that I have encountered this was with
2 units of Asus TF101G and 1 unit TF300T
My TF101G was fixed when I installed a Custom ROM (Revolution HD)
I'm open to rooting my phone but not to unlock the bootloader to keep the warranty..
Hard Reset fixed it but after a few days when I activate the Bluetooth it will start with the Boot Loop.. It's very frustrating to install apps and everything.
Perhaps is it related with the files I installed?

Afaik, bluetooth radio is controlled by the baseband. What version are you guys using?

Im currently using TF300T
Asus Official WW Jellybean ROM
I think It's not related with the JellyBean coz I expereienced it with ICS before when Im using TF101G

The baseband of my GNex is I9250XXLF1. I am on official JB (4.1.1) on yakjuxfw.
Please help me, this is really annoying and I'm very scared to activate Bluetooth now.

You are on the latest baseband and Android version. And since you are completely stock and the problem also manifested itself on ICS, I'm going to say you are probably having a hardware issue there.

That's really sad to hear. And as the GNex is not available officially in India, I can't get it replaced either.
BTW you said 'probably', what can be the other possibility?
Well I too have something to elaborate. Both the times (on ICS and JB), the problem occurred while activating Bluetooth from Notification Toggle (downloaded from Play Store). It's not that whenever I used Notification Toggle did the problem occur. Several times Bluetooth successfully got activated using Notification Toggle.
So as much as I feel that it could be a problem of Notification Toggle, I feel that the opposite is possible too.
Another thing is that I had downloaded a paid app for free from a torrent website. Tapatalk to be precise. Many of my friends suggested that and I wanted to try it out and so downloaded it from torrents. On both bootloop occasions, that 'pirated' copy of Tapatalk was present in my phone.
Now I have purchased Tapatalk, uninstalled that pirated copy, uninstalled Notification Toggle and now I just tried three Bluetooth transfers with my system (2 send and 1 receive) and they took place perfectly. Is it possible that the pirated copy of Tapatalk was causing the issue?
I know it's not ethical and even against the XDA rules to discuss about such pirated copies but I didn't want to hide anything when asking for a solution to my issue.

If the problem happens again, I think you have to return it to where you purchased it from as it may be a hardware defect. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again. And I know you mentioned India does not officially sell the Galaxy Nexus. All the best!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

and yes, it happened to me too. Its bootloop, then i took the simcard out, then power on again, but takes a long time, only X logo for more than 10 minutes. Then its going to menu. Then, well, i check the settting, turn on the bluetooth again, bump ! it happened again.
FYI, device not rooted, bought three days ago, and its LOCKED.

Is the problem solved for you? If yes, then how?

@Kanded: Can you please tell whether it's solved or not?

The same problem with me!!
Not just in the GNex, it also happens with me in my HTC One V.. I can't find a fix anywhere on the internet? There's no one who can tell why this happens? I change ROMs but still it happens in every ROM! :crying:
I use Bluetooth for a few days... and BOOM! on one day it suddenly goes into boot loop....

That is exactly the issue I face, exactly the same.

[Q] Phone wont start SIM

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, so be nice!
For starters, i have the European HTC One X. I've been having trouble rooting it, but I finally managed it! So, when it was rooted, I noticed that my phone didn't ask for my PIN code. I thought it had something to do with the SIM card not being correctly in place, but i checket it, and it was ok. I checked the Settings, and on Airplane mode, it says "turning off" without me turning it either on or off. I cant press anything there, and when i try to turn it off through holding down the power button, nothing is happening.
Its been a few hours, and I've tried to unroot, factory reset and other stuff. Tell me if you need more info, and I'll be thankful for all answers! I really need help here!

I think I have the same issue, could u check in setting about phone to see if your imei number and baseband is showing?.. mine shows as "unknown".. I have flashed multiple roms and run the ruu several times and I still have the same problem.

I tested, and it just says as headliner "IMEI", and lower down the option to say "ok". Nothing more, nothing less. What does it mean?

A Box should pop up,
Saying IMEI in the top grey box, whilst showing a long number in the middle white box.
If you have nothing in the middle, no long number - sorry to say, but it's 'bricked'
You won't get a working sim on a corrupt IMEI, and it seems you have deleted yours.
I assume your attempts to root as corrupted & broken your IMEI, I would never recommend one root click programs - always best to just use a custom Rom.

The box is popping up, but no long number. Not any number at all.
Well.. since its bricked.. If i use a fabric restore, would anybody be able to see that i had it rooted?
And btw, i thought if it was bricked, i couldn't do anything at all?
Because i can still connect to Wifi, and download apps and stuff

I believe your phone is bricked,
Unless you had a backup of your EFS folder which contains your IMEI, I don't think there is a way to restore it.
Because the IMEI is gone, no sim card will work, and you'll be limited to emergency calls only and wifi I think.
Maybe someone else can respond to verify this, but in my opinion - it doesn't look good for your phone (sorry to be the bearer of such bad news)
Hopefully someone will enter the thread to disagree with me, but that's just what I think.

Well, it is sad news indeed, but i really appreciate that you could give me the news. I have been googling like a maniac for a few days now, and noone could give me a clear answer. But do you think i will be able to return the phone if i turn it back to factory reset?

I've had this imei problem on my motorola defy (locked bootloader) and wasn't reading my sim after installing defy+ cm10 JB nightlies, but i recovered the phone to default using leaked radio flasher and it was fixed. Dunno if this could be fixed by an ruu flash but since its bricked what you got to lose ?

Hello again. I just found the receipt/bill (dunno in english) from when i bought the phone. There is a IMEI number there. Can i use it for something? For unbricking the phone, I mean.

Flashing the ruu doesn't fix the problem, I have done it many times and it still remains unknown. I believe the efs folder does not relate to HTC phones. It seems we are very much bricked! I tried sending it to HTC for warranty repair but because it has been unlocked they say the warranty is void..

Well f*ck. I bought insurance for it (when i bought it), and have reset to factory settings. Would anyone by ANY possibility be able to see that i messed with the software? And if they ask if i rooted it, or flashed ROMs, could i say "huh, what is that? How do i do it?"
I'm gonna try atleast. Update you later on the day

Yes I'm afraid.. they can tell the bootloader has been unlocked.. even if u re-lock it, it shows as re-locked....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app

Well, in that case.. I'll just deny it, and say i have no idea what a bootlocker, or loadbooter is..

It's best to:
Relock your bootloader
Flash the RUU that you need to get a fully stock device
And take it to the shop you bought it from, do not send it directly to HTC yourself - you want to always go through a middle man of possible.
.... And just hope.
Basically, as I first noticed - it looks like your rooting procedures have corrupted your IMEI leaving you with an unrecoverable device.
In the future, stay clear from one click root apps - best way to root has always been to flash a kernel or Rom that includes it.
Good luck and hope they ain't too fussy to give you a working device.

permanent airplane mode
I have a similar problem with my htc one x. yesterday I saw that it disconnected my SIM card so I rebooted my phome. After reboot it didnt find my SIM and stuck in permanent airplane mode (it shows like it turns off but it doesnt). I checked that my IMEI is unknown. Tried hard reset few times but it didnt work. My phone wasnt ROOTED or anything. Is there a way to deal with this problem without sending the phone to warranty?

Ive lost completely my mobile signal

Hey guys, this afternoon my phone turned off itself becouse of the lack of battery life and then it completely lost its capacity to connect to the network ( in order to make calls ).
Its kinda rare becouse when I press and hold the power button to get access to the power menu it says "airplane on" when its off really, even after disable it keeping saying the same.
Ive already restored it, wipe everything in the device but Ive got still the issue going on.
Any ideas? Please I really need help
Thanks

It might be a problem with your carrier. So, I suggest maybe trying to go into places where there is really strong signal and try there. Maybe reboot a couple times. If the problem still persists, then contact your carrier and ask if they have anything to do with it. Because, I almost guarantee that's the problem.

I've already tried it without success, and even called my carrier and they turned to me the network was fine.
I reckon is a problem with the fact that airplane mode is turning on and off automatically
I'm so annoyed with this don't know what to do really

can you try your sim in another phone? or another sim in your phone

I have already tried both options, neither of them worked.
So the problem is with my phone but I'm really in trouble since I haven't got the guaranty of this phone because I traded it for my old device.

Flash stock rom, delete superuser or supersu, and take it to your carrier to complain. If the problem persist on stock then it's really nothing you can fix. You should be able to get a new device.

The problem is that I havent got the guaranty since I trade this phone for another old one that I had. Hope there is way to repair it even if it cost money

Surprising this is... I just cane across this exact problem today. I just removed my SIM Card, put it back in, then rebooted. After a little while I got my signal back.

Backup ur data and apps, perform a factory reset. If the problem persists then take it to the service centre.
PS- before doing the above steps do check for updates, it might solve ur issue.

Sprint s6 issues, please help me!

So ive got a spint s6, bought from dubai, unlocked and rooted apparently. After a couple of days, my phone woulndt start up cuz it was FRP locked. OK so i searched for the original firmware, i flashed it and my phone booted up again. i flashed also the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1. Here s the thing, on 5.1.1 i can make calls, receive them, receive text messages but i cant send texts at all, so my guess its that its not unlocked anymore. On 6.0 doesnt even have any signal so forget about it. I just want to resolve this issue. I cant find the setting that could help me to change the message center at all, i dont have that option in my phone, i even tried to change things with some adb commands but still nothing. So after all my guess its that the phone isnt unlocked anymore and if so, how do i unlock it? i just cant give the phone back cuz i dont live in dubai, im like a day or so distance with the plane so i just wont go back there again. If anyone could help me...please do so...im on 5.1.1 now, unrooted, i can root, i just cant send texts and i dont have the messages center
oh and also i tried the galaxy tool method from idoneapps which apparently wont work at all and im concerned about paying for that thing if it doesnt work so...yeah
