Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? And do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Which image you used to install? Try the full OTA one for your phone model from the link in my sig.
Also do a full wipe before flashing.
Thanks, I went back into bootloader and I went to reset to factory specs but instead i think it cleaned my phone of my information and then when rebooted, went into ICS easily, Love the OS but I am not getting a wireless signal. I read one post where someone was running a gingerbread radio so now I am seeing how to do that

hey all,
on friday I rooted my NS again to check out cm7 rc1. before i was totally stock @ 2.3.2. friday evening i wanted to show my iphone friends the nexus s with cm7. the first one took it and did take some photos. then he smiled and gave it back to me. force close: SORRY: Android.process(???) has stopped unexpectedly.
this error was looping all the thime. i pressed okay and one sec later it was there again. i tried to flash the rom again in recovery, but the error was still there. i did date and cash wipes and some factory resets and then the error was gone.
on sunday i was travelling home on train and suddenly the error was back. i tried again some wipes and then i deceided to restore my nandroid backup. so i was back on 2.3.2. during sunday afternoon and evening i got these errors:
- NS is freezing while it is in standby... if i grab the phone and want to unlock it but the display keeps black -> i have to put out the battery..
- NS is beside my keyboard and suddenly all four buttons are on. display is still black. unlock not possible--> battery again
- NS is freezing while using facebook or twitter app
today... i unrooted it again and went back to a nandroid (2.3.1) guided _here_.
after unrooted again NS wanted to update to 2.3.2 which i confirmed.
about to hours later the errors i explained came back.
am i the first one who bricked NS?
please give me some help how to get it back working correctly, because i love this phone so hard.
I did another factory reset and now the phone is hanging at the google Logo. The four buttons are powered.
This is looping, too.
Yesterday I tried some things to kill these errors. I did:
- factoy reset (in settings menu)
- fastboot erase userdata 2x
- wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devliak
Today the phone was with out a problem, but just a moment ago I wanted to unlock it by pressing the power button but the display didn't react as usal. It is still black and the only thing I can do is to take out the battery....
Last step I can do is to send it back to my girlfriends sister in US so that she can bringt it to Samsung US to get it serviced.
"bricking" the phones involves the phone not being able to turn on or do anything, period. your phone isnt a brick. after doing a "factory reset" you want to reflash whatever rom you are using. it seems like youre having problems with a bad app or some bad data.
thx simms22. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly with rom manager (incl. wipe). i set up all my apps and 20 min later the error come.
to figure out if it is a bad app problem i do a factory reset now and won't log into google account and see if the error appears.

i did a factory reset and skipped google setup after first boot.
i just entered sim code and let nexus s in idel mode.. about 15 mins later the four buttons were lightened but i couldn't unlock the phone. battery out... and i could power it on.
so it's some kind of bad data problem? but how to find and/or clean this bad data? thx again for your help.
edit: I found a lot on google for "full wipe bad data". I'm reading now! But I may have to ask you something
edit2: in recovery (cwm3.0.0.5) I did: format system, format data, format cache and format sdcard. then i mounted usb and copied this nandroid 2.3.1 to it and flashed it. I booted and installed system update 2.3.2. now testing again without apps.
edit3: the hole day no problems. I only installed twitter and in the evening 2.3.3 manually. This morning again the phone was not unlockable. I had to take out the battery... on my way to work I did a wipe from stock recovery but shortly later the phone freezed while I used the slider to unlock it. oh man that sucks I thought it was fixed.
I make some coffee now and start google'ing. If you have some tipps, please throw them to me.
maybe reflashing radio?

im going to have you try wiping once again. wipe data/factory reset. only this time reupdate to android 2.3.3 right after the factory reset in recovery. dont boot after wiping, update after wipe, then reboot.
--> stock recovery -> wipe / factory reset -> reflashed update (ota2.3.3) -> testing now without installing apps
thanks simms!
Edit: the phone got a freeze while I wanted to unlock it -.-
Edit2: I'm testing now in airplane mode. Maybe the error doesn't come...

im now thinking it might not software related. if it was software, a wipe and reupdate should have fixed it. maybe you should check into a warranty replacement. .
In airplane mode the error is there, too.
Okay thx 4 ur help. I'm starting a service request. Bad day -.-

the only other thing i can think of that might cause something like that after wiping is something bad on your "sd" storage. copy everything you need off your "sd" storage and try wiping that.

Did you do something with your phone or did this happen all by itself?
Try flashing STOCK ROM via Odin.
Put your phone in recovery, Try wiping user data but it'll delete you contacts. If nothing happens then reflash.
Hi All,
I am facing the same issue. I upgraded my firmware from stock 2.2 to 2.3.3 GB around 6 months back and it was working fine till 2 days back. Suddenly 2 days back it started restarting itself and it ended in a boot loop. When I tried removing battery and started the phone, it semi resets the phone(like contacts and other settings getting deleted). I tried going to recovery mode and did factory reset/ Wipe cache and restarted my phone, but it was of no use. Today I tried to flash my phone with XXKPQ firware for which I flashed XXKPE first as per the guidelines given in Misledz's post. Flashing was successful, but it again ended in boot loop.
Guys, Please guide me on how to proceed with this. Its really irritating to see my phone in boot loop
Thanks a ton in advance.

I think this is a problem of psuedo reset...flash the stock firmware and take it to the service centre.They will replace the motherboard (you might even get 16GB internal memory )

Damn!! I am having the exact same problem and it also started a few days back!! Plus the phone heats up a lot during this with a massive battery drain.
I have tried hard reset, but no good so far and the phone is completely in stock condition DDKP3. Any Solutions??

It all started by itself...I am running the stock ROM only...I have tried clearing the cache and dalvik too..
Now i have flashed the recent ROM by Aditya (Titanium V3) and its having the same problem..!!
One more thing
One more thing that I have noticed is that whenever I press the home screen button after the phone is idle, the screen lights up and then the phone restarts suddenly resulting into boot loop..!!
My infuse is rooted with zues. A few weeks ago, it was stuck on the samsung boot logo and it keeps looping. I wiped data and cache and installed zues again and it was fixed. Last night, this happened... so my phone turns on for 2 minutes max, then turns off and starts the loop. I can only keep on for 2 minutes before it starts looping again. by saying keeping it on for 2 minutes, i mean everything works! talk, text, games, ect...
so i turned it off, went to clockwork or root menu, whatever you guys call it, and i wiped data and cache. Whats weird is that even on boot menu or clockwork, it still wont stay on, it keeps turning off and turns on and loops!
i installed zues again, still turns off and loops
next step? is my phone dead?
Did you have any undervolt settings applied?
The phone is not underclocked, it is not overclocked. It was rooted, I unrooted it. its currently unrooted absolutely factory stock and still doing that. What can I do to fix this?
warranty is over as of 3 months ago
Forgot to mention the most important thing!!!
When I am on the phone with someone, it works perfectly forever, as soon as i hang up, it ends the call. this key thing might help someone find the solution!!

Don't panic just yet... I doubt your phone is dead.
You say you've "wiped data and cache". Are you also making sure to wipe /system and Dalvik Cache?
Try flashing Zeus again.
Boot to CWM, Wipe EVERYTHING (/data, /cache, /system, Dalvik Cache). (Alternatively, get "Clean Wipe" from Qkster's Scripts and flash with CWM to easily wipe everything.)
Flash Zeus and go.
If you're still having problems, perhaps try a different rom?
okay, I read everything you guys wrote.. This is where I am, I am open to suggestions
I am on the stock rom and unrooted. Phone still boot loops. What should I do now? Step by step instructions would be great. Im unrooted, so should i root again? even though im having this problem?
bump! really need help with this guys!
Have you tried going back to stock?
If it keeps looping while on download mode then I would say you are dealing with a hardware issue.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
It just came to me that it doesn't loop in download mode. It does loop in clockwork, I flashed the stock kernel using ODIN and went completely stock through ODIN.
How do i fix this? i'm pissed that i had it for a year and three months and right after the warranty ended, the phone stopped working! Samsung never again unless this issue is fixed
I'm a newbie to flashing, so take it with a grain of salt. At least two more things seem worth trying to me:
1 - Try factory data reset (assuming you already tried the wipe Davlick and wipe cache). I'm not positive what this does, but I think you may lose some of your data if it's not backed up.
2 - If that doesn't work, try qkster's Heimdall UCLB3 stock (since you can get into download mode...shouldn't be a problem). This is complete back to stock so should be able to clear any software problem I'd think. I know you may think it's redundant since you are already back to stock, but worth trying imo since some things just take more than one try, and you may have had a bad flash the first time around.
Why zeus? try latest ones with jelly bean
Hey,
Try other roms based out of jelly bean. They are pretty stable. CM10 with 09/14 build is the latest
Here are the standard steps if you have CWM enabled.
1. Factory re-set (only when switching between different roms).
2. Cache partition wipe
3. Dalvik Cache wipe
4. Install the zip file
5. Re-start and wait until it re-starts. Initially it will take some time.
I have tried various roms and versions as well. Best would be the CM10 Jelly bean.
Thanks Kran.
Over the summer I rooted my Droid Razr HD phone and recently have been trying different roms to use and finally found one I liked (Liquid JB official). After being out late one night my phone died because it ran out of battery. Once I got home I tried plugging it in and letting it charge for awhile before turning it back on. When I finally tried turning it on my phone got stuck on the red Motorola "M" symbol. I let it sit for almost 30 min thinking it was just trying to load everything but this never changed. Is this usual for a rooted phone not to be able to turn on? It seems to me like my phone is not able to find the boot up file for the rom? Any help would be great I really would like to go back to using a different rom.
This problem has also happened to me using other roms to like Beanstalk and Eclipse and happens whether my phone dies or I shut it off or just reboot it.

thats defiantly not normal. you should wipe everything 100% clean and start over, also updating your recovery to the latest version. during the wipe process make sure you wipe "data-media-/sdcard" too (NOT external sd, unless you want to and have things backed up).
also, its extremely bad for the battery to let it run down to the point where it shuts off. its only a matter of time, repeatedly doing that, before you plug it in and it will not charge no matter how long you leave it on for.

When I am installing a new rom I wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache each three times and then I also Format Data Three times. Is this what you mean my wipe everything 100%?
Also I am currently running TWRP v2.5.0.0, I have found a newer version on twrps website but when I go into Rom Manager and check for updates my phone does not come up as a possible clockworkmod Recovery?

In all likelihood, this is not a LiquidSmooth issue. I would suggest a clean install as the previous posters suggested. The latest stable version of LS is now at v2.10 for Android 4.3
LS 2.10 must be installed as follows, according to the devs:
New Flashing Instructions
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
format /system
Install ROM, NOT GAPPS YET!!
Reboot system, first boot may take a few minutes, don't panic ;-D
Setup your phones settings, anything that isn't Google related
or let your phone sit for 5 minutes
reboot back into recovery
wipe cache and dalvik
then flash gapps
reboot and enjoy
Click to expand...

For the xt926, the download page for LS 2.10 is here: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel/?fld_id=15202#files
gapps 8/13 or newer are supposed to be used with this ROM. dl from here: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel/?fld_id=21058#files
The official ROM page is over at G+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117452480298315341829, if you have any additional questions.
Give it a whirl, and let us know what happens. Good luck.

you are wiping very well, i was just confirming you wipe everything possible short of the external sd.
the wipe im talking about in twrp is wiped when you wipe "data", the one where you have to type "yes" before it will wipe. in cwm, in the formatting section (i forget what its called), there is an option that specifically says "data-media /internal sd" or something close to that.
as for the latest recoveries, here is a tool by Tucstwo that i have been updating lately http://www.mediafire.com/download/2o061zcmzlaycb5/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V8.rar
also, twrp 2.5 doesnt have all the selinux bugs worked out, you need 2.6.3.0, which is in the above utility.
I've been having spontanious reboot problems where my charge would reboot and get stuck in a boot loop freezing on the droid eye animation and rebooting. In the past I've been able to clear the delvic cache and regular cache and get the phone to boot and go back to working order. Today however, clearing cache didn't work. Thinking this was a software problem, I connected the phone to oden and flashed the stock software ED1. I was planning to install back to EP5 and redo Tweaked 3.2 since the phone had developed a lot of lag.
Now the phone gets to the droid eyebll and stays there. Every so often the animation freezes for a second or two then continues. Is the phone dead? Can it be brought back to life so that I can use it while I figure out a new phone. I'm asking because this is my only smartphone and I'm now stuck activating my old chocolate flip
Mike
Why all the way back to ED1? Do you have everything backed up in case you need to flash with the pit file?
