Hey guys,
I've never had any real problems with any android phone that I've had. However, I have been running Liquid Beta 2 on my nexus for over a week now and it seemed to be running great. I did see a few random reboots every now and then but thought that might be due to it being a beta.
Today it seemed to escalate to a new level. I turned on the torch in the pulldown bar and as soon as the light came on the phone restarted. However this time it was never able to start back up. It got about half way through the boot animation and started over and will continuously do this.
I can still boot into recovery so that is good news. I have tried restoring previous roms that I had backed up for just in case and they ran into the exact same problem. I have also tried wiping everything and then installing a fresh rom that I had on my phone and again, ran into the same problem.
At this point I am clueless and really have no idea what to do. If anyone can perhaps share some advice or give some suggestions, that would be great and I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.
edit: Not sure if it matters but I do have the Verizon branded GN.
Make sure you are wiping data, cache and dalvik.
Make sure you didn't get a bad download on the rom you are trying to flash.
I am running stock kernels and have never installed any non stock kernels as stock seems to run just fine. I have wiped everything completely and I've tried two different roms and get the same problem. I don't think it has to do with it being bad downloads. Thank you for the advice though guys. Anyone else have any input? I may just have to go to the verizon store and see if I can exchange it out.
Dude. I had that too some weeks ago and had the problem that I encrypted the phone, which made me not getting into recovery mode. I downloaded a fresh restorer rom from samsung. After everything was fresh I never saw the failure again.

DO NOT CONTACT VERIZON. After unlocking bootloader, your warranty is voided. Verizon will not be able to help you.
@OP: You can always flash back to stock using stock images provided by google via fastboot with the link Geezer provided.

Not kidding. That link to tells him how to return to stock and re-lock the bootloader.
Hello all,
I am facing problems with my SIII right now. I was running AOKP but due to the bluetooth not being able to sync with my stereo, I decided to go back to stock rooted. I just flashed back the stock rooted image using Odin, but now my phone sits at the Samsung screen with the blue notification light on. I have tried rebooting, and it gets to this point (after the rethink possible screen) and just sits. I am thinking another flash in Odin is in order? Is there a stock, non root image I can flash via odin? I am just really lost for ideas right now and any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
Update:
I tried flashing with odin again and this time I got a failed. It was in the process of flashing the "system". I am kinda starting to freak out. I am hoping that it's just the file I'm using (though it just worked not even a few days ago.) I am trying again and if this one bombs out, I think I am going to try a different file. The one I am downloading to try next is the "stock unroot" from the how-to video. Anyone have any luck with this?
Another Update:
I just re-flashed with odin, this time it says it successfully completed but once again it's stuck at the flashing Samsung logo with the indicator led on.... I am starting to really freak out lol. I have another file downloading that is supposedly just stock, no root or anything...

I've always noticed the LED being on during boot (or some of the boot) and it was also on when I had a bootloop during cm9 so I don't think it means anything.
Fair enough, I guess I never paid that much attention till now when things don't work heh. I do recall reading about someone else having the similar issue using odin...I am trying to find the post and if there was any follow up on it.

Correction : Used that link you had posted, it was still stuck so I loaded up the toolkit and used option 20 for reboot options to force it into default recovery, wiped data & cache from there and let it reboot, it seemed to have hung but waited a few minutes and it came back to life. Back to complete stock here now, hope it works for you.

When you say toolkit are you talking about the one from the thread labled [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 QCOM TOOLKIT V2.3] Drivers Backup Root CWM BusyBox + MORE [ATT]? And if so you just opened it and used option 20? nothing else? This sounds great if it works hehe.

Should have explained a bit better. Yes that toolkit
While it was stuck at samsung screen.
1 For AT&T (Obviously)
20 For reboot options
1 For recovery.
Then wipe data/cache
Then wiped cache (no idea why)
then rebooted.
When i did an Odin to stock I also froze on the Samsung logo. I had to boot to recovery and do a factory reset I side recovery to get it to boot. Keep in mind everything will be deleted though

That is exelent. I am downloading the toolkit right now and will report back shortly.
Once you got it to boot, did you still have root? I am wondering if you flashing the "stock rom" that I posted, if that had any impact. I have only pushed the root66 file, so I am expecting root when(if XD) I get this thing going again. I appreciate you being more thorough with your instructions, and will report back with my results as soon as I get some
Also, are we loners on this? I am not seeing any other posts about going back to stock/stock rooted from modded roms using odin? I am trying to figure out the best method to go back to stock. I made a nandroid and I am sure that would work, but all of this word about having to flash different kernels and bluetooth/wifi drivers to get stock working properly makes me wonder if just using odin is the easiest method, as it restores everything on the phone (to my knowledge).

That is great, this may sound a little silly, but how do I boot to recovery? Thanks!
UPDATE:Nvm, google hehe. I just did the factory reset...Things are looking good so far, the haptic lights turned on at least...BOOM! We are good gentlemen. It looks like all it took was the recovery wipe. This is great news! I will try to figure out how to mark this as solved, and you crash822, you get a thanks
NP sir. We all have to start somewhere. Luckily for me I was already planning on doing a full wipe so I backed up everything I wanted to keep from my phone onto my computer before using odin.
I seem to be having the same issue. I've downloaded the toolkit as you guys have suggested. are you guys in download mode on the phone while you use this? it seems to want me to be in debugging mode and i can't get to that. I've tried a factory reset with no luck.
So i made the mistake of doing the HTC ONE V OTA update back in march.
It was the "Software Update: 1.10.652.6 (73.1 MB)".
After doing so i tried to flash a custom rom.
The result was my phone being stuck in a boot loop.
I bought a cheap android phone and switched my number to that phone.
I saw that the RhythmicRom v1.4 worked with the OTA update and so i flashed my HTC ONE V to that rom and it stopped my phone from boot looping and so my phone works again.
My only problem is that for me to switch back to my HTC ONE V is to switch it back though the VIRGIN MOBILE website.
After i switch it tells me i need to use the "Activate" set up wizard.
RhythmicRom removed the "Activate" and "My Account" app.
I also cant use ##VIRGIN# with this rom
My question is, How do i reactivate my HTC ONE V without the "Activate" set up wizard?
I really want to use this rom.
Ive tried to look for ways to do it and tried them but none of them work.
Ive also tried some ## codes but some of them dont work or require some security code.
Is there anyway to reactivate my phone using that rom?
I hope you made backup of your stock. You wil lneed to restore it and flash the stock kernel in fastboot. You will then be able to activate it.
the only backup i have its the one before the update. ive tried to use it before but it just reverts me back to a bootloop. now that my phone had been updated it doesnt seem to work anymore.

ok so i tried it. the rom wouldn't work. it has done this with many roms ive tried. it seem the only ones that are working are RhythmicRom_v1.4 & jellybeer. maybe it has to do with the code?
but i tried the boot.img from your rom combined with my backup that i made before the update and it booted up finally without any reboot problems but the wifi had an error in it.
but i then went to reboot to double check to see if it was working it booted past the virgin mobile part (with the people dancing) got to the htc logo and it wouldn't go past that.
when i tried to use you're rom it would come up as "Failed" i dont think the code is compatible with my phone.
What version recovery are you using... I'll look into it
im using TWRP 2.5.0.0
Down grade to the one I have posted in the 3rd post in CDMA development thread
---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------
2.5.0.0 will always say failed because it's trying to format a partition or your sdcard that does not exist
i will try it out thanks!
Welcome
so i tried flashing twrp v2.2.0 and for some reason it wont mount my sd card so it cant read it at all.
Do you have ADB checked under settings?
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
P.S. whenever you are in fastboot mode send command
fastboot erase recovery (press enter)
You'll probably get an error but move on and send command
fastboot erase cache
Now send command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This should give you a clean install of your recovery
If the problem persists, I'll take down the link for the TWRP 2.2.0 in my thread
when i got my phone, i went and tinkered with everything and had a custom rom on there before i got a chance to activate it as well, i ended up RUU'ing back to stock to activate, then going to a normal rom, ever since then, i've never needed to go back... hope this helps!
How do I get into settings?
And to the other person, with the new ota update ruu won't work with my phone.

I'm pretty sure I have it set up properly. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I just didn't know there was a way to fully wipe the recovery. Thanks for that info. Next time I have internet I will try it out. For now I'm stuck using this rom. it works pretty good just a bit buggy.

Well thanks anyways, you offer a great service
I got one too but it has 4.4.2 kikat on it,I rooted it with Kingroot and it still works Whew..!
So my question is first of all, if I use a root tool to root a phone then where is the password for root ? I want to change it to something secure obviously so someone in china does not have root control of my device as well as thousands of others. I used the newest version 4.5 and it installed at least 2 other apps that I want to toss as well.Another question ,Even though I got it rooted it is incapable of moving apps to SD and seems the ROM was stripped of the capability intentionally.Is there an alternate custom ROM for this device?
Any custom recovery for this phone??? This would be greatly appreciated Im smart enough to flash one just dont know how to port one read thw guides so no links to doing it my self just help please
Jacblack, did you find a solution for moving apps to the sd card?
I too have a Blu Advance 4.0L that hasn't yet been rooted. Much like everyone else I run out of room after installing a single game, despite having a 8gb sd card in the phone. Pathetic how Google designed this, ain't it?
Tried moving the apps to the sd card, managed to install another small game and once again out of room. Is my best bet rooting the phone? Scared to do it now seeing how it can be bricked, should Blu update it as Deuler93 has learned the hard way.
Wtf is the use of a phone if you can't install apps to it? Is this the norm with Android phones? I'm used to iphones and still scratching my head trying to understand how incredibly pathetic Android is, if in fact you are unable to take advantage of the space in the sd card. Am I missing something? Can it really be this retarded?
want to network unlock the blu advance 4.0 can anyone help
imei #351991078242810
>I believe that this phone is only available as a "network unlocked" phone. So you don't need to unlock it, just take it to the carrier you want.
>Mine has Android 4.4.2
>My experience so far has been that I can install apps on internal or external storage. I have about 2gb usable internal storage. But with not even 1/2 gb total ram, most of my games are useless because they crash.
>I've tried towelroot and it didn't work. The Kingroot app has always given me trouble with other phones so I would be very cautious when using it and when uninstalling it. It will automatically try to install it's own apps.

BLU Advance OTA Problems
Hello Guys !
I have a BLU Advance 4.0 A010L and I just received an OTA update.
The package seems to be corrupted on the source (BLU servers), because I am receiving an error when the phone try to apply the update :
Have anyone here faced the same problem ?
Thank you everybody !

Hey you might want to take the time to learn how to back up the user data through the recovery and then if you need to you could just do a factory reset before updating. Yours seems to be different but when I tried to update mine, it was have problems getting and unzipping the update. Eventually it seemed to work but now it just says "no command". If yours still works, try turning it off, and turn it on while holding the volume down button. Go into recovery mode, and that will give you some options to explore.

I'm not getting far on the 1/14/2017 build of 14.1.
It boots up.
Gives this error which I've seen before and aren't worried about:

Then it quickly picks up and connects to my WiFi.
Then quickly enables my Data.
But then drops me into this screen:
"On your other device, open the Google app".
"1) Say Ok Google, set up my device"
"2) Touch Pixel XL on the list, and follow the on-screen instructions"
And I can't get past this.
I think it wants me to restore stuff from my other phone but I can't figure out how to get past this section.
So I can't get to Settings or desktop or anything else.

I was able to get the 13 build running. i am trying the same on the 14 build to see if itll work on that one as well
Got the 14 build up and running. Seems pretty snappy. Gonna play around a bit to see how it is overall.
Edit:
Seems to be running well. Currently restoring apps. Has cm camera and apps loaded but can get all google apps back including pixel launcher.Pretty well polished as far as i can tell
@CZ Eddie, the "internal problem with your device" is due to an out of date vendor IMG usually. You can reflash the latest vendor.img from the factory IMG to get rid of this message.
Yeah, I knew it was something like that.
But it wanted Q instead of V.
And flashing that didn't resolve my issue where it's stuck at trying to restore from some other device (or whatever that prompt is).
I tried flashing the Q bootloader too and still got stuck.

I'm not getting far on the 1/14/2017 build of 14.1.
It boots up.
Gives this error which I've seen before and aren't worried about:
"There's an internal problem with your devices"
Then it quickly picks up and connects to my WiFi.
Then quickly enables my Data.
But then drops me into this screen:
"On your other device, open the Google app".
"1) Say Ok Google, set up my device"
"2) Touch Pixel XL on the list, and follow the on-screen instructions"
And I can't get past this.
I think it wants me to restore stuff from my other phone but I can't figure out how to get past this section.
So I can't get to Settings or desktop or anything else.

Yeah, I knew it was something like that.
But it wanted Q instead of V.
And flashing that didn't resolve my issue where it's stuck at trying to restore from some other device (or whatever that prompt is).
I tried flashing the Q bootloader too and still got stuck.

Did you flash TWRP immediately after flashing the ROM?
I did.
Trying something else now and noticed that I somehow now have CM Recovery.
I stared at it for a minute wondering how Clockwork Recovery got installed on my phone till I realized what it actually was. :silly:
Yea I installed TWRP after ROM. Did flashing u vendor IMG get rid of internal error for you? I tried v and still got error but everything seems to be working well

On initial boot don't set wifi. By pass it to get around restore. Wifi will pop up again at end

Hah, yeah skipping WiFi setup got me past that restore from other device thing.
I'm logged in now and checking it out.
There are several custom options hidden throughout the menus. Not all packed into one section like AOSP ROM's.
I can't find an option to remove the brightness slider though, I really like that option and would miss it.

Where are these builds located? Lineage isn't doing official builds yet.

Also curious where these builds are. I tried googling it and nothing came up
Post #4 tells you where to find it.

It wants the "Q" vendor image.
Its really smooth and has built in root...only thing I don't like is lack of pixel home button animation and it don't allow unlimited backup but I'm sure those features will become available in the near future (or I hope they will)
Great job with the ROM invisiblek!
