purchased a vogue on the internet and when you turn it on it resets itself..the only way that it does not reset is if it is connected by usb...please help
rom version 1.06.sprint
radio 3.37.10
HELP PLEASE
sounds like a faulty battery
thanks
thanks i will try that
Seriously man, two threads?
Wait, wait, wait...The ROM version is 1.06sprint? That sounds like a custom ROM to me without the proper radio. I think you shoud try reflashing the ROM.

Nope, three!

If some roms get flashed on to a 6900 (touch) without upgrading the bootloader. They will continuely reboot! But this does not explain to me why it doesn't reboot while it's plugged in?
Thoughts:
I know that while flashing the phone, it is not charging (there are no charging drivers running)
I don't know what the issues are exactly with the reboot i'm talking about. But there might be some charging issues your incountering.
Make sure your bootloader is newer at least 2.31 But I too believe it's just the battery...........
If you go into the power menu you can see the battery status. It will tell you if it is actualy charging and The batterys charge level.
FEW things: If the battery says full. While looking at it. Unplug it if it drops fast then shuts down (most likely the battery)
If the battery says 0% (most likely the battery)
If it says not charging or no battery (again most likely the battery)
KEEP IN MIND! That all of this information your phone is telling you is CONTROLED by the formentioned drivers!! Sooooo that being said. If all hardware is good. Your Best bet is to reflash with a stock rom my preferred is alltel. let all customizations run!
This will update your phone so that all things will work IE gps,CHARGING DRIVERS, Ect.
Here's the alltel Rom:
http://member.america.htc.com/downl...3.10.671.1_RS3.42.30_NV2.02_PRL30031_SHIP.exe
And then make sure you use an unlocker like cokeman's 2.31 before you flash any custom roms.
P.s some stock roms Relock your phone(which means you can't flash a custom rom) so it's a good idea to just unlock it before hand, If your not sure!!
Good Luck!!
Question:
Does it reboot when you unplug it or just shut down? Let use know how you turn out this can be useful for people!!
P.S.S The unlocker is the bootloader updater.
I have been reading up and I am determined to root my phone, but I have been having issues. It is a Motorola Defy with 2.2.1 Froyo, model MB525.
System version: 34.4.9.MB525.T-mobile.en.US
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.58.00
Kernel: [email protected] 52 #1
Build#: 3.4.2-107_IDN-9
During my reading up I have not read anyone with a similar problem, so I thought I would ask. During a root (using SOC 2.1 or Z4) the phone will restart.
With SOC it says it is trying to find the phone, which after reading I may have been doing something wrong and I will investigate more tonight, but it restarts. With z4 it will start the process and either nothing happens other than the phone locks up and I need to pull the battery or hold the power button, OR it shuts itself off and restarts NOT rooted.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to ruin the phone and not be able to get it warrantied.
I am beyond frustrated with the phone, I love it when it works, but when it doesn't I want to use it as a brick and throw it. I want to root it because the Motoblur garbage is always hogging the speed of the phone and the Base System fires off my usage alarms I have set. I want to free up the phone.
I also have a US T-Mob defy and used SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=624175&d=1307984755 many times without any issues.
Make sure you don't forget to enable usb debugging.

I will try the old version, that I hadn't done but from reading was my next step tonight.
Might I ask what Android version you are running and what ROM? (I might have used wrong terminology but you know CM&, MIUI etc.)
I'm on CM7 latest nightly cm7-110930-1653-NIGHTLY.
I suggest you try it - it's a difference like night and day. Just follow the CM7 FAQ in the dev forum.

Awesome, thanks so much. I will update here for future users, but I appreciate your help!
I was able to get it to go with SuperOneClick 2.1, just had to turn on/off the debugging box a few times and the rooting caught and went through without a hitch.
CM7 works great and makes the phone a lot more user friendly and faster.

[TOOL] Revert To Stock ICS for the VZW Galaxy Nexus
OVERVIEW
I have created an all-in-one script that will revert your Verizon Galaxy Nexus to stock ICS (Build IMM76K). I have found some of the 'toolkits' to be awesome resources, but a bit flaky when trying to return to stock. This tool is a self-contained EXE and can be run offline as it does not need the internet during the process to download any supplemental files.
!WARNING!
This process WILL WIPE ALL DATA on your phone! You must manually backup all user data, documents and media before performing this process. I take no responsibility for any loss of data to your phone. This script is clean and has been tested, but as with all online guides, this is done at your own risk. Make sure your phone has at least 75% battery before continuing.
WHAT THIS WILL DO
Reset radio, bootloader, and software to factory versions. Unroot your phone. Remove all settings and accounts. Delete all data/apps and replace system apps with old original ones.
WHAT THIS WILL NOT DO
Relock your bootloader or make you coffee.
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Make sure your phone is UNPLUGGED from your computer, then download and install the Samsung Galaxy Nexus drivers (VZW)
STEP 2: Download/extract my Revert To Stock Tool for the VZW Galaxy Nexus
STEP 3: Power off your phone, then boot into 'Fastboot mode' by holding down both volume buttons and then the power button until you see the screen with the green "Start" arrow (shown below).
NOTE: If your phone boots up normally into your Android OS, then you did not press the buttons correctly. Power off your phone again, and repeat the process until you see the correct screen.
STEP 4: Plug your phone into your computer and let Windows install any necessary device drivers that it detects.
STEP 5: Once it is finished, run the tool (filename: VZW-GNex-RevertToStock.exe), and follow the on-screen prompts to revert your phone to stock ICS (Build IMM76K)
CONCLUSION
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any hiccups along the way. I am always willing to modify the script or the guide to make it more user-friendly.
NOTE: If you receive any virus alert notifications when extracting or running my tool, then know that they are false positives. My executable is clean.

Hi. I hope this doesn't sound too noobish. I just rooted for the first time the other day using the GNex Tookit Ver. 7.8. to the AOKP JB Rom. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
Basically I need to go back to stock. It was a CLNR phone and thought it was running great for a day until I started noticing a bunch of dead pixels. So I need it back to Stock.
Is it really as simple as running your tool? Also, will it revert back to the original googe apps? b/c im having some issues with apps now on this rom?
1 last question, I understand it'll go back to stock does that mean I lose root and the bootloader becomes unlocked?
Thanks well in advance!

Yes, this will take you back to the original ROM which includes the original Google Apps (Gapps). Yes, you will LOSE root, but this will NOT re-lock your bootloader. Very good questions - I have updated some of the verbiage in the original post to clarify these points.

Ok cool. If I wanted to lock the bootloader, could I use the toolkit after I've used ur script?

If you wanted to lock the bootloader, just boot into the bootloader and run fastboot oem lock. Don't rely on toolkits.

Good thing this isn't a ToolKIT then, just a tool
Not sure why someone arbitrarily rated this thread with "1" star. Kinda uncool, since this will help people.

It keeps saying echo off, plug in your device. I installed the drivers and still nothing,.

Try a different port, or a different computer. Or spin up a VM if you've got one.
Not restarting
Hi! I found this thread linked in the GNex Toolkit 7.8 thread when I was looking for a solution because it failed to flash the stock image & unroot. I followed all the instructions, and pressed enter after fastboot restarted twice, and got to where it says "Flashing stock rom/system". I have now waited 20mins (the tool estimates 5mins), and my phone isn't restarting out of fastboot mode. It has a blue highlighted line on the bottom that says "Fastboot Status - Okay1515.FA02".
Should I keep waiting? re-run the tool? just try restarting my phone manually?
Please help!
Thanks!
Oh! Was running LiquidSmooth 1.5MR1 prior to starting this...no idea if that would still be working or not if I restart now...
EDIT: I got brave - restarting from fastboot manually just restarted Liquid, so it didn't rewrite the system. Some more searching, and I found a different dl link to try for the system image, put it in the right folder, and the GNex Toolkit worked like it was supposed to. I have to say, though, this tool is much less intimidating haha! Thanks!
So, I am in quite the predicament:
First of all, my phone stopped fully booting into the OS. I can get into fastboot and recovery but when I reboot the system it gets to the android screen and then goes black. Second of all, my usb port is broken.
I am pretty sure that there is nothing to be done, but if anyone has any suggestions that would be AMAZING!

Try a different USB cable and a different USB port. It takes a lot to break those ports on your phone, you may just have a bad cable.

I thought that too. I tried 3 computers and 6 cables: nothing worked. It hasn't been able to connect to a computer for a month now and it stopped charging 2 weeks ago. I have looked at replacing the port with a new mic/usb module but the phone still won't boot so it wouldn't really be worth it.

You saved my phone after I stupidly pulled the battery during the root process from the toolkit and got stuck in a reboot loop with the Google logo showing and the little unlock icon.

Asks mods to sticky it
Hello everyone,
I've decided to get help trying to fix my Xperia Arc which has weird battery issues.
I tried so many things trying to fix it that I don't now what to try/where to look for an answer. So, I decided to ask you guys for help.
The problem started this summer, I updated my phone with the official ICS update, and after that, battery life went from average to awful.
I have, at the moment, a battery consumption of around 20% per hour, and it doesn't change whether I'm using the phone or not.
I have tried the following things :
- New battery : same problem
- New kernel rom => Tried different kernels (arcknight/stock ...) and different custom roms => same problem
- Re-locking the bootloader and flashing stock 2.3 => same issue
- Installed software to check what was using the battery : nothing stood out.
So now I don't know what to do, I'm at loss. When I was running custom roms I always remembered to delete the battery stats once the battery was full, didnt help.
Also, I thing the problem is the battery sensor ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Vincent.

ICS requires you to restart your phone after every time you charge it. Bug in the firmware.
If still dropping too fast - Then it has to be some of your settings, that you use, either a sync or GPS or something.
have you wipe battery stat in cwm?

1.
Revert to stock. Relock your bootloader. Repair phone with pc companion.
2.
Check your battery. Take it out and study it. Is it deformed, swollen or anything?
3. (OPTIONAL)
Clean battery pins on phone and battery with aftershave
4.
Get a new battery
Cheers guys for the answers. I tried everything you guys recommended and yup same problem
I'm sending it in for repairs and hopefully they'll fix it.

Well hi tried with bew battery,so there was still a issue
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Hello folks,
after marshmallow update my note 4 is acting wired (freeze, restart, sometimes doesn't start etc...). Wakelock app is keeping the phone running but still phone is not performing at it's best. It is slow and sluggish etc...
For some reason if I restart the phone (for ota update etc...) it never turns on. It takes multiple attempt of soft resent and taking battery out and in to turn it on. How to fix this?
I did not make any changes to phone in any ways. I am using what ATT has provided me and recently got it unlocked from ATT. Phone is currently running 6.0.1 with February 1, 2017 security patch level.
Any help is appreciated. If there is any existing thread regarding this issue please redirect me there. I may need step by step guide if the solution includes of changing rom, kernel etc... If I have to change rom then I better be changing it to the finest available in the market.
Thanks again
You likely have an app that is causing problems. Look at settings, battery. Is anything hogging your battery use?
Either selectively uninstall apps, or do a factory reset and slowly add apps until your phone states flipping out.
I and others have had this problem, unfortunately you have to figure out what's causing your problem...
Hit thanks If this has helped you...

Try to save your data and factory reset. If that not going to work i would consider to ODIN clean firmware on phone. You can find firmware in one of my post about updates

2) ODIN FILES to get back to EPH5 and latest ODIN
ODIN -- This will be for PC when I connect the phone, correct?
Let me know if I need any more files to download.
All these information is not making much sense to me at this stage but I guess as I work on this I will have grasp of the process.

I was traveling last week. BTW here is the update. I switched off the phone to get it in to recovery mode... it's dead since then... It doesn't turn on.. I tried various usb cables, wall adapters, soft reset, new batteries etc... nothing is working to turn the phone on. Does this mean the phone is gone?
Any update on the device? What was happening before this happened? Turning off the device to put it into recovery shouldn't have created a catastrophic event that would have killed the phone...
Are you in the states? Are you close to a Best Buy? Many Best Buy stores have a "Samsung Experience Center" that can help you with your phone... They can apply latest updates, and do some minor technical troubleshooting...
What happens if you put a different battery in, and plug in a charger? Are you using a Samsung charger? Leave it for a few minutes, is there any indication that it is charging?
Did you, per chance, use one of those portable rechargers? Those can wreak havoc on your battery, as well as the phone's built in charging circuits...
What is the status of the device?

Hello,
Before it turned off I have downloaded the zip file for update on sd card and then tried to put it in recovery mode to perform the steps but it never turned on. I travel alot so don't get much time to spend to do all these technical things so temporarily switched my old BB Q10. I did try different batteries, chargers, plugging it in various laptops. It's dead dude. I kind of hate ATT and Samsung now. They push an update on us which ruins the phone and then they ask if I have insurance! I mean like dude are you out of your head?
Yes I am states. I did not know that Best Buy do some troubleshooting, I will take phone to them as soon as I can and will update if they were able to solve the issue. Thanks for that suggestion.
If you didn't get into recovery mode, you didn't even start the update. Sounds like the phone died before anything happened. Just trying to put it into recovery doesn't start the update at all...
Sorry about the phone. Hope it's something simple...
For instance, I had a sticky button that made the down volume stop working. A Qtip and rubbing alcohol solved that...
Hope your phone resurrects some how.

It may be too late, but put the phone in the freezer with the battery out for 5 minutes. pull it out and put the battery in and try to turn it on. Works for me, but now everytime I need to restart my phone, it has to go into a freezer.

Just got active here again. I did try the freezer thing but didn't work for me. I have found a process where one uses USB JIG to put phones in download mode (if the battery is fully charged or charged enough) if the phone buttons are non responsive. I haveordered it from ebay. Let's hope it works. Once in download mode, I will try to flash it. Looking for the best procedure to flash it. not a technical guy.
