[Q] Boot Loop - Have I tried Everything?!? topic

Hi,
I'm a bit new here and running a good old-fashioned stock Inc 4G LTE, never rooted or flashed to new ROM. It DOES have the latest OTA update from Verizon a couple months ago.

This morning my phone suddenly went off after working OK. Then when trying to restart, I get an infinite boot loop and it won't get past the red Droid screen. I've searched various threads and tried what I think are the most obvious things, and nothing seems to help. But I want to make sure there are no other options before I throw it in the trash.

Here's what I tried:
- Tried entering Safe Mode by holding down volume key after HTC screen comes on. Makes no difference, does not enter Safe Mode.
- Get to HBOOT OK. Says 'LOCKED' and I am running HBOOT v.1.15.0000.
- - In HBOOT, I've tried running Recovery a couple times. Seems to go OK, but just starts looping when restarting.
- - In HBOOT, tried running Recovery > Wipe Cache Partition. Says cache is cleared.
- - In HBOOT, tried running Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset. Seem to go through OK.
- - In HBOOT, tried running Factory Reset.
- - In HBOOT, tried running Clear Storage.
- Pulled battery and tried spare.
- Removed SD card.

Some history - this phone has always been very sluggish. A few months ago started shutting down when doing camera intensive things (would jump to battery at critical level). So I did a factory reset a couple weeks ago and was slowly adding some of the essential apps back in. It crashed trying to upload photos to Facebook. Last night I had just moved some apps to the Phone storage and set my Sound Profile app to change profiles in the morning. This is about the time the phone crashed.

• Anything else I should try before giving up?


• Can I try to root and install a custom ROM to fix when in this state? Is this now possible with latest OTA update?


• If custom ROM is last chance, is there a really solid one running 4.3 and Sense?

THANKS! May be time to get a HTC One or iPhoney, as I'm just not into huge phones that are coming out...

[Q] Tried replacing screen assembly, new screen broke. What to do? topic

I tried replacing the screen on my One X and when I hooked it up it seemed to work fine. Once I confirmed the screen/digitizer worked I put the battery in and put it all back together. Then the screen decided not to work and wouldn't display anything but lines and some light. I'm not sure what happened, maybe pushing the assembly into the housing pulled the ribbon out of the phone. I'm not sure.

I'm thinking about upgrading to the XL or X+ but I'm curious, is there a chance my phone is damaged aside from the screen? When I have it plugged into the computer and turned on it isn't detected at all. Also, when I confirmed the screen worked I noticed I had a bootloop, which is odd since it worked fine before. I'm not sure what I did :(

And no, unfortunately debugging is disabled :/

[Q] Stuck on Boot Loop have tried factory data reset AND manually installing firmware topic

My GS2 (Model SGH-S959G) is stuck on boot loop and I have tried factory data reset. It started to reset as usual then started right back into boot loop. It now just says 'deleting cryption meta data' when I attempt to go into factory data reset mode and then starts to boot loop all over. I also have the stock firmware for it on my computer and attempted to install it with Odin as per instruction I actually found on this forum (which is why I'm here asking this question :) ) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1982571. I followed the directions for flashing the factory firmware as listed. Odin read the install was a success and gave me the green PASS, however the phone went right back to boot loop. How can I fix this?

Thanks for your help in advance! I've been trying to figure this out all day :/

[Q] Have tried to flash stock rom - stuck at samsung logo topic

I posted earlier looking for how to flash a new stock rom to my Galaxy S3 I9305 - managed to find an Odin flash guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969

I already had the right version of Odin and downloaded the following firmware which seemed to be the only one listed for my device
Firmware Info - I am not able to access the phone to check for any details but it was international unlocked bought from amazon uk so this seemed to be the only non- carrier version
PDA: XXALE8
Phone: XXLE8
Date: 13/05/2012
Android Version: 4.0.4
BTU (UK) Also contains (CPW DBT ITV KOR XEF XEO): Download

Flash with ODIN reported successful and the phone booted - however after the animated logo and sound it sticks at the static "SAMSUNG" logo and goes no further. This is the same problem I was having after doing a factory reset

Does anyone please have any suggestions as to what I should try next - I followed another thread which suggested wiping the cache which I did but still sticking on the SAMSUNG logo. Would installing a custom ROM be likely to work or is there something else I need to try

HELP! Google Play giving me No Connection & I tried EVERYTHING! topic

Woke up this morning, and I start Play Store and I get No Connection / Retry does nothing.

I tried clearing data from App Info - cleared Dalvik/Cache - still no progress...

I literally didn't change anything on my phone, just woke up and it's like this...

It's _just_ Google Play store

Has any one tried porting a note pro rom to our device? topic

I just don't understand why it's taking so long to get kit kat when the devices are exactly the same. I was wondering if it's possibly to get their rom on our device?

Help, every ROM I've tried just gets stuck in bootloop topic

Ok, Ive unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM, rooted my device and checked that it worked, and when I go to the boot loader and select recovery it takes me to CWM. Ive made backups from it and and they restore fine. I even installed a custom kernel and it worked because noFrills let me OC/choose a different governor. Yet from the three ROMs Ive tried so far, they install fine, no errors from CWM, but when I boot up it just gets stuck booting forever. Ive tried wiping everything, Ive tried wiping some things, heck I even tried wiping nothing but I still get the same issue. Id really like to try a new ROM now that I went through the trouble of voiding my warranty, so please try to help me. Thanks in advance, alexbenh

[Q] Tried to fix no GPS (again) and now I have no internal storage topic

OK, so my GPS stopped working... AGAIN! I am getting tired of this... it works for a few months then quits. I took a full backup in TWRP. Then I tried to apply the stock ROM and it would lock up on boot. I wiped the the data, cache, and system before I installed the ROM. When it would not boot, I tried a factory reset from the bootloader. After that, it acted like there was no ROM installed. I then applied the TWRP backup and it boots, but it does not show the internal storage. ES file explorer says it cannot mount it. If I look in Settings>Storage, there is nothing under the Internal Storage section. I am checking all of this with the SD card pulled to make sure I am not confusing any of the folders.

I don't care if I have to wipe everything to get this to work. I noticed that I can set the internal storage partition in TWRP, but what size do I use for the partition and swap space?

thanks for the help.

Anyone tried rumrunner for radio s off? topic

Rumrunner has a tool for the HTC one v,wich is very similar hardware. It may work on the sensation xl.

Install a rom with an insecure kernel,and run the one v tool.

I tried it on htc flyer,no harm will be done if the tool doesn't work.

Just wanted to throw it out there if no one has tried it :)
