Help please. My Verizon Xoom worked great for 6 days, had it rooted, and today I rebooted it and It's now stuck in a bootloop. The M appears and then it simply reboots over and over. How can i get it working again ? Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you upudated any of your root apps prior to the bootloop?
I strongly suggest you read through the threads--including previous pages--of this and the general section for the numerous threads on how to rescue Xooms from bootloops. If you see something that seems to fit your situation, you can jump in the discussion and ask for clarification and guidance.
Good luck!

Hey Everyone!
Running into a issue, I just cleared my CM7 rom and now trying to switch to Caty. (I need bluetooth in the car)
I cleared it with Odin, rooted, and have the newest Caty installed. Now the first time I'm booting up, I got passed the Samsung screen with the voice over installation and now it's been stuck on the moving graphics for the past half hour.
Does it really take this long to install or is something wrong?
Thanks in advanced!

Could have been an app you installed preventing it from booting properly, try to make a nandroid of your current rom then restore back to your original rom and let us know if it boots. If it does, it's most likely something on your rom. If it still doesn't boot that's more of a hardware issue.
Did you properly wipe, did you install a rom, you have to tell more information then just saying it wont boot could be anything why it wont boot answer what you did before you got to the point you are in now and then we can help.

You might want to tell people what the issue was and how you fixed it. Simply saying, "it's fixed," doesn't help people.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either
All my searching (xda, google, phandroid) attempts only came up with people having problems flashing roms. THIS IS NOT THAT.
I have a Nexus S 4G (d720) running stock 4.0.4 (never rooted or flashed a rom on this phone). As of about 3 hours ago, my phone has reset itself four times. 3/4 rebooting to android robot with red triangle. The last one reboot to the google logo and then was stuck for 10 minutes. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Without fail, it's done it every night for four nights. Can anyone help?

Yes. Tried it yesterday. it didn't shut off all day...until i woke up late today because it spazzed out and my alarm failed.

Now, it restarts to a screen of the android robot and a rotating light blue wireframe complex shape of some sort...then it changes to the dead robot with the red exclamation mark. I don't even know what to google anymore....any help??
If it has never been unlocked, rooted and completely stock...I would just take it in for service. If you want to root and flash then we can help :thumbup:

I'll take it in tomorrow, if they can't help...would it change anything to root and flash a rom? or could it be something hardware related?
Found a post with a similar problem here. It looks like going to the sprint store won't help much...
Take it in first. If not I say root and see if that solves it.

I took it in, they did a "Factory Factory Reset" where they have to input a "special code" and it spazzed out within 5 minutes of me turning it on. So completely stock, no apps, no nothing. fresh out of the box and synced to my gmail, it did the same thing. The only new thing I've put on my phone in the last month has been a Zagg screen protector...and I'm fairly certain that has nothing to do with it. So they ordered me a new one, hopefully it lasts longer than this one. Thanks for your help.
Glad it worked out.

Hey XDA! My brother and I are having a problem with his Verizon GS3. After a fight with it we finally got it completely rooted (we rooted it while he was running 4.1.1 stock) . Every time we try to flash a ROM the phone does it and then during boot up it gives an error message. Something along the lines of "unauthorized software has been detected. Please go to your nearest Verizon store to restore your device." not exactly what it says but close to that (I don't have it in front of me right now). Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Boot loader was locked upon ROM flash.
Vzw ez unlock for Verizon galaxy s3 will unlock it.
If you can not find in play store.
Google it and you can download and place on SD card to install the app that way.
Make sure you are rooted

Isn't the boot loader unlocked in the first step? The boot up screen with the Samsung logo has the unlocked symbol on it. Sorry for the dumb questions, the only device I've rooted is my Galaxy Nexus and that was a breeze.

No its still locked use the ezunlock and it should let you flash a rom.
It really is. Hopefully when the X-Phone comes out it will be easy like the Nexus. Rooting the GS3 has been such a nuisance. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll report back with how it goes.

So ezunlock is no longer available on the play store apparently. Every link that was supposed to take me there didn't work, just says it "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." Any other apps that I could use?
Hopefully this works. Threw the apk up in my drive. I'm not going to leave it there long, so grab it quick. Make sure to allow installs from unknown sources in developer settings.
Removed URL
Post here when you have it.
Edit: Removed the URL since I'm not going to leave it up all night. Google ezunlock, it's literally the first link you see.
