[Q] Stuck on Boot Animation on Custom Kernel - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, my phone was working fine overnight with ICUP-speedy2. i checked my messages, left it alone then went back to it after breakfast and i saw that all these processes were stopped.
so i powered off the phone to reboot and i'm stuck on the bootscreen (aka google nexus square animation)
i'm able to get into recovery. i tried fixing permissions and wiping the dalvik and cache. i tried uploading the kernel again. still no go.
any help? i really do not want to do a factory reset and lose data. i forgot to do an nandroid backup.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

also, my superuser is up to date with the ICS binaries and i'm currently running CMW 5.0.2 with the install-recovery.sh renamed.

i bit the bullet.
i wiped data and just did a factory reset. all is well in the world again.

This has been happening to me on various roms and kernels. As soon as I get a working combo, I back it up.

You know you could have made a nandroid after messing it up, then wiped your data and manually restored some of your settings? CWM Recovery only tar's files and makes a MD5 hash check. A copy/paste is nearly as effective.

The same thing just happened to me as well. I'm using Speedy 3 by eugene. I received a text messaged then my phone rebooted randomly, after that all the apps had a bunch of errors when the phone loaded. After rebooting it cycled the boot animation over and over again. Is there anyway to recover from this state?

How do I do that if I don't have the rom zip on my phone anymore? I do have a restore of the stock rom that came with the phone, but would that conflict with the current kernel? I'm seeing there are ways to use the shell once in recovery, but I do not know all the commands, as to sending the zip.

I downloaded adb shell, trying to figure out how to push the rom to the device. any commands would be helpful.

not to repeat, but silvers method WILL work<<<
flash back to stock ( this WILL cause a bootloop at times) go into the stock recovery and wipe the data ( 3 times if you like) and reboot it will boot up.
i know you tried it, but do it again.
unless there is other info that you are not telling us
Agree 100%

I agree 100% - I had an alien rom do pretty much the same type of thing, and followed those instructions, and it was back in no time.
I wish we had some new roms to play with out here...
Same problem.....FIXED!!!
after doing the stock rom instructions i had the same problelm. then when i tried to boot in recovery the button to accept (power button) wasn't working so i couldn't delete my data/cache or reboot now.....the fix?......use the home button to accept instead of power button.

Anybody else ever run into this problem. I restart my phone and process system doesn't work right away. it takes sometimes 5 or 6 reboot attempts before the phone process system runs.
I'm not rooted regular stock.

alright i fixed it on my phone. i did a full wipe. tell me if i need to explain how to do this. reflashed the ROM and gapps. when i went through the setup the first time there was an option to restore from google. it was checked by default. i left it checked. same problem... system process not responding... wiped and started over and reflashed ROM and gapps. unchecked restore google and it didnt come back. phone hasnt crashed since. the problem lies within the wifi passwords restore. the problem started when i was trying to start wifi. i dont know where to report the bug or i would. good luck and any questions? just quote this so i get an email and ill try to explain if this didnt make sense. hope it helped. if it did consider buying my buddy a beer who is a dev and needs a new computer. http://johntriger-development.yolasite.com/

[Q] Newbe question regarding Vzw touchwiz roms...

Newbe to vzw Samsung Galaxy s3.... I kind of enjoyed the TouchWiz features in the vzw store. Can someone point me in the right direction for a touchwiz rom with root where I can use the hand swipe to do a screen snapshot, etc, etc?
Currently I have a aopk rom on my phone that someone else loaded on it. Unless I am missing something, it doesn't seem to have touchwiz.
Can someone help a fellow out?
Thanks in advance.

Link above will list pretty much all ROMs and kernel available.
You can test and see what you prefer.
Stable rms I have tested: cleanrom as stated above ans synergy.
....but just flash different ones and see what you like. That's part of the fun!

Thanks for the replies... I see Clean and Synergy. I currently have Synergy on my TB. Right now on my s3, it came to me preloaded with AOPK. But that doesn't have TouchWiz. Which version of Synergy would be considered the most stable? It's hard for me to tell which versions are which. I did see someone post something about a version 1.7, but for the life of me I don't see that.
R73 is the most current 4.0 build. It's fan-friggen-tastic! 4.1 jb build us just beginning, so wouldn't recommend that one for you. Click the current build link and it will list all recent versions.
Throw on a Trinity kernel and a little dark horse rises theme, and love life for the great moment in time your in...

Thanks, I found Synergy R73. Now I am waiting on it to finish booting up. I am sitting on the 'Synergy ROM' boot animation, and it has been on that for at least 5 minutes. I think something went afoul here. Hmmmm.

Yes unlocked. Tried a few battery pulls but no go. Then tried to go into recovery. Now it is telling me "Downloading... Do not turn off target!"
Your in download not recovery mode. Hold power button down, it should shut off after 20 seconds give or take. Then power, home, up (not down) for recovery

Device came preloaded with AOPK. I have not activated it yet. It's to replace my HTC Thunderbolt. I was wanting to put on a TouchWiz rom and load that first before trying to activate. Then once activated, I was going to get all my apps back from the market, etc.
I downloaded Synergy 1.7 from the download area. I copied it to a UTILITIES folder on the internal card. I did a MD5 checksum prior to installing Synergy and the checksum was perfect.
I then went to install zip from internal sd. I navigated to the UTILITIES folder, and selected the Synergy zip file. It then did some processing for a few minutes and told me it was done.
It was at that time I rebooted the device, and from there it sat on that Synergy boot animation.
I then tried several battery pulls after it was at the boot animation for 30 minutes or so. But they all just sat at the boot animation. Finally I attempted to get into recovery mode. I am not sure if I selected the proper keys, but used Power button, Home button, and Volume down button.
That's how I ended up where I am now.
Sorry I didn't see your message until just now. I will try again and report back in just a sec.
Did you make a backup before the flash? Did you wipe data before the flash? Have you been able to get into recovery as I mentioned above?
Ok, it took a few times, but I am now in Recovery. Should I do a "wipe data/factory reset"?

Yes I made a backup of aopk before the flash.
No I did not wipe data before the flash.
Yes, I am now in recovery mode using the steps you outlined
Ok good, you were just on sh*t street, but not on F'd lane! Yes wipe data, wipe cache, go to advanced wipe dalvik. Then reflash the synergy rom. This should work fine. bootup will be anywhere from 5 to 10 min

Also, annoyingduck, thanks for all of your assistance and getting me out of that bad situation. Hopefully this time things will go smoothly.
- Update - it just finished installing. Now it is starting to boot up. I now have the boot animation screen and it is 29mins after the hour. I am watching the clock.... *keeping fingers crossed*
Ok, that's done. I don't currently have a sim card inserted into the device. I wonder if I can use the one from my TB? Or should I use the one that came with the phone?

CM10 + MMS

As the title states, I have my skyrocket with cm10 and mms is not working. I'm using the pta apn that's included. I searched via Google to see if there were any mistakes with the apn settings and didn't see anything... Any suggestions??? It acknowledges that an mms was sent to me but will never download it.

Assuming you're on att that apn us fine. Did you do a clean flash of the CM? And also do you have the auto retrieve enabled in your sms settings?
I'm sure you've messed with it enough and it still didn't work so I recommend a clean reflash if the latest CM with the latest UCMC1 radio and you should be fine

I see no mention of you checking the md5 or making sure your apn is correct.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
APN s have been messed with, and I've tried various ones. Found them somewhere here on xda, and verified that my phone reflects them. **edit...my phone reflects the correct art apns....not some random stuff I found...just wanted to clarify
Md5 is another thing though....I've never checked them before, and due to that, I havent clue how to verify md5. I'll do some reading and see. I can tell you that when I flash it will say "no md5 found, skipping verification" or something to that effect. I presume this could be the issue?
Thanks!
That just means you have md5 verification turned off, it doesn't affect anything. You need to check the md5 yourself before you flash the files on your phone. If they don't match the files are incomplete or corrupted.

Thanks. I've downloaded a Checksum utility from CNET, and redownloading the rom right now. Will also re-download modem and verify as well. I noticed on the CM site that UCLI3 is now the recommended modem, so I'll go ahead and change to that instead of using UCMC1.
I plan on flashing to stock, and going all the way through it, just to ensure everything is cleared out this time, instead of just wiping/formatting via TWRP this time around.
Appreciate your help. Will report back any issues.
Thanks.

just wanted to update this, in case anyone else experiences this issue....
I installed a few extras (an addon package, and cLock, and a few other things off the Slim Roms site) and all of a sudden I wasn't able to send MMS again. No idea what did it, because I didn't check before installing each .zip package, just installed them all at once.
I presumed everything was good, then tried to send an MMS that evening. Didn't work. AHHH! SO FRUSTRATING!
Decided to charge it up all the way and prepare to reflash everything. UGH. Not again. This **** is getting old.
So I thought, well, let's just do a full wipe, and see what that does. So I went into TWRP, did the "full wipe" option that wipes cache, dalvik cache, .android_secure, and Factory Reset. Figured if it borked everything, I'd just start from square 1. Got nothing to lose, right?
Well, it worked. Did that reset, and phone booted up. Once everything was up, I tried to send MMS, and success! Haven't had a single issue since then.
Thanks.
I've noticed that if I'm using a thrifty party messaging app my mms won't send but using the stock app it sends with no problem...

Nexus 5 slow down!

Hi,
recently i have noticed my Nexus 5 acting strangely. A couple of tasks have become very slow while the rest of the phone is fine.
Taking pictures normally is fine but when I try to take a HDR now it will take one, take an age to process it and will lock up the camera in the mean time.
Also taking a screenshot takes an age, first theres a delay then it takes long for it to save.
Finally when i come out of an app to the home screen's there is a 2-3 second phase where all it shows is the wallpaper and nothing else.
Other general use and using apps etc seems fine. Iv tried restarting but noting changed.
Anybody else having similar issues? any solutions to this.
Easiest fix is probably just backing up your apps and data with titanium backup and clean flashing the firmware again. Should weed out any troubles.
And give you a fresh clean start.
Just don't erase your internal SD.
yh your probably right, by clean flashing the firmware, do you mean factory reset.
I haven't rooted etc

You can try factory reset.
But I actually meant flash the firmware with fastboot.

If you have custom recovery, you can also try just wiping cache and dalvik cache first.
@KJ you silly you don't need a custom recovery to wipe cache/dalvik
