So I woke up and checked my phone only to be greeted with an odd screen that I've never seen before.
It has a little android robot, only he is blue not green, and he is standing next to a symbol that looks like an alert sign
I managed to fix it myself using Clockwork mod to wipe the phone and titanium backup to restore my apps.
I have no idea why this happened...
Sounds like your phone rebooted over night and came back up in the stock htc recovery. Odd but possible.

Could have been a failed OTA update. I had this awhile back and needed to wipe and reflash.

Very annoying...
I was following the treads to see how to update... root.... then get a rom....
I got froyo working fine.
I then went to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612&highlight=oneclickrootcwm3
Sadly I did not feel it was very clear but took a chance.
Steps 1-6 seemed to go fine. I was on the ... screen where it loaded(black screen) it said it loaded fine, and asked me if i wanted to start it up. I said yes. It went to the first screen Samsung in white with a black background and freezes. I have tried to yank the battery and restart but it never gets past this screen.
Two words Oh din

You need to flash a rom that is compatible with ext4.

Got my wife's Evo 4G rooted and it's working. Now my daughter's rooted Evo 4G, been rooted since 7/10/2011 is messing up. When you turn it off and then turn it on it just sits on the HTC splash screen. It never completely boots up. Went into recovery, wiped the cache/dalvik, and tried to restore the backup. Rebooted, but it still just hangs on the splash screen like it did when you turn it on. Any help with this one? Do I need to un-root and take it to Sprint? If so, what do I need to download to the SD card, and a link to the file would be most appreciated, to flash to get it back to stock. Thanks, you've helped me once, I hope you guys can help me again.
You can just take the phone back the way it is. Tell them its not working and they won't even check or if the phone is rooted. They support rooted phones now.

Thanks. But I wonder why all of a sudden it decides not to boot up? My daughter said it has been taking a long time to turn on, that's why she has been leaving it on all the time? Could this have fried something? Is this a known problem with the 4G's? Just weird that it all of a sudden just crapped the bed.
Could be a hardware problem. Just take it in and get it replaced. That would probably be your best bet.

Does the rom have fast boot enabled? U can turn it off by ......Menu>settings>power>uncheck fast boot...

Hi all!
A few days ago I rooted my stock T989(ICS) using the galaxys2root method and everything went well. The only issue I ran into though, when I turn off my phone normally (hold power then shutdown), it will get stuck at the pink goodbye screen (as did about 3 others in the comment section of the GS2Root website). When I was unrooted, turning off the device normally, it would hangup a bit at the pink goodbye screen as well, only for about 30 seconds at the most though. In this current state, I've ran this over 5 minutes and it still stays at the pink goodbye screen.
I didn't see this to be too much of an issue since I use notification toggle, which has a a restart and power off toggle that I can access in the notification bar for rooted users. But last night I didn't charge my phone so it was dead when I woke up. The thing is, it was hot. So I'm thinking it got hung up on the pink goodbye screen until the very last drop of battery left. So it just worry's me in the long run if it happens again here and there of affecting the battery. It showed 0% when I plugged in to charge and did take a while to go past that number.
Some background:
-Completely stock rom and kernels (know nothing about flashing/intimidating to do for me as I don't want to ruin anything)-slowly looking into it though
-Only rooted because I wanted to save some game data.
-I've already done factory reset but it didn't fix the issue.
Hopefully any input will help out others with the same problem as well!

Either that or install a shell, umount, then wipe properly.

Darkside Cache Wipe always fixes my issues. It's said not to use CWM fix permissions or cache wipes. Using the Darkside also aligns your card.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks guys! So DarkSide it is then.
So in order to do this, it's essentially just like rooting, right?
This is how I'm thinking of it based on GS2Root's video:
-Boot into clockwork mod recovery
-Install zip from sd card
-Choose zip from sd card
-Find DarkSide Cache Wipe in where ever folder I put it in (which I finally found the download link and hoping this is the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955)
-Choose the zip and apply.
-Done?
Are these the right steps? Or is there anything special after and/or before that I need to do? Don't have to install the DarkSide rom beforehand?
Also, would I ever need to uninstall this for an update? I just read somewhere on my drippler app that t mobile or samsung will provide a future update for bug fixes, but not jelly bean.
That's correct steps then just reboot. It's a script that does what cwm should do plus more. It will wipe both cache partitions then properly fix permissions. It's not installing anything so it won't effect any future updates. Also doesn't matter what Rom your on, it's not specific. Just a fix for cwm not working correctly.

I did that and for me what had happened is that it would stall at the loading screen and not budge until I did a cwm restore. Can anyone explain what is going on?

I was having the issue with the phone hanging on goodbye screen and not shutting off. I ran the darkside wipe now hung on start screen. I'm fairly new can anyone help please.
darkside wipe deleted your rom and its data... thats what its designed to do.... do you cant go past the start screen because there is nothing to boot too... reflash your rom or get a different rom.

Did you run the superwipe as you are directed to do? it is a pretty simple process and it will not wipe your ROM.

Superwipe will in fact wipe your ROM. Cache wipe will not wipe your ROM, and will probably help with the reboot hangs.
Superwipe is for before you flash a ROM.
Cache wipe is for problems after an install.

To start, my GS3 was rooted, had a custom recovery, but was still on stock Rom. I followed QBKing77 video today on manually installing the JB rom. I put stock recovery back on, then applied the update. It flashed just fine. I was still rooted after the flash (wasnt sure if I was supposed to be still rooted). Anyway, phone worked for a good 4 hours, checked everything out and everything worked just fine. Suddenly, the phone is frozen now. It is not responding to touch and is vibrating as if it is having a problem. Cant even unlock it. If I slide my finger on it, this green box highlights things on my homescreen. Everytime I slide my finger on it, it toggles through some of the items on my homescreen (sprint, then the clock/weather widget, then each of the short cuts on the lock screen) then starts over again. Each time it vibrates as well. Cant unlock the phone and I am just stuck...HELP PLEASE???
Never heard of that one before. Pull the battery and reboot?

Yes I did this, restarted phone and it goes right back to the same situation everytime. Frozen...
Not sure what to try. Maybe get into recovery and clear the caches.

I was going to try to unroot and odin back to stock ICS using the tar file... Thoughts? I figured regardless of what I am on, I can always go back to true stock by odin-ing back using the stock tar... right?
ya that works too
I figured it out now, for some reason, in settings, accessibility, "talk back" was on, this caused the entire phone to not respond act semi frozen... I somehow got into settings by trying all sorts of things (swiping, double tapping, pinch to zooming, etc), and was able to turn it off...now the phone is fine. I am not sure why talk back would completely change everything and freeze the entire phone up. But I would not select that feature and turn it on...the phone literally felt unusable. I was 5 min away from odin-ing back to stock tar before I found this issue...
I would say skip the bs and just Odin back to stock. If this doesn't fix it, it's beyond software.

Hey ive had my gs3 since release, but pass couple of days it has froze up , once while just letting it sit and when I went to pick up screen would not come on , it wouldnt even do anything when I plugged charger to it, so I did battery pull and it turned back on like normal, fast forward to today was on phone with wife and noticed the screen would light up but was still able to talk on it, so got off phone and did battery pull again, and powered back on, so does anyone know what could be causing it to do that? And its not rooted.

Rogue app hopefully. Otherwise it could be a hw problem.
If you can, backup your stuff and factory reset (itll wipe int sd too). Then run as bare as you can (no/few apps) to see if it still happens.
