I have done a few searches here and been searching all night. My company is moving from Sprint to Verizon and as our salesforce si out in the field I selected the razr maxx for the battery life.
I got mine yesterday as I am the systems admin and started to play with it. My fault for what happened totally but I'm hoping soemone here can help me.
I installed a Launcher Pro based "HTC Sense" clone, an HTC sense flip clock and the Agile Locker. After this I got the update for 6.5.1-73_SPU-11M1-2, (Im guessing thats right as I took it from the screenshot http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Jsh9vl.jpg?139d23 there, but Im fairly certain it was 6.5), The phone totally froze on the Dual core boot screen. It was like that all night as I passed out. When I woke up I foundf out how to hard reset the phone (http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=49625). I then tried to uninnstall the apps but the phone signal and 4g was shut off and the live wallpaper (stock one) was all funky. I decided to factory reset it. I factory reset it but not the memory card.
After all of this its still freezing totally (right after I skipped the verizon remember my contacts stuff) so I got back into it and reset it again.
This is where I am now. I am going to try to set it up again, but if it keeps freezing thats not gonna be good.
On another note, I would LOVE to try ICS on it, but I dunno if thats such a great idea on a phone that seems to be broken despite factory resets.
Im sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. Please let me know if I should repost or move my post. Thanks in advance for anyones thoughts or help!!!
EDIT: I have factory reset it and its still frozen. I am going to have to return it.

so i went to plug in my phone, and the moment i plugged it in the "powering down" window pops up, when the phone powers up my lock-ring is gone, and just my wallpaper is there? i have pulled the battery, booted into recovery, pulled the SD-card, tried calling my phone, then deleted my dalvik cache (thinking it could relate the kernel) but no matter what i cannot get the unlock ring too appear, this has never happened before, any suggestions??
EVO 4g
MikG 2.45
Your Sig says EVO4G . This is the EVO Shift Forum. But from what you've listed, I would say at this point it's reflash time. If you can boot into recovery I'd say just boot into recovery and reflash. I would say that's your best bet.
This has happened to me for Evo Shift 4G. I had to open the keyboard and setup page showed up. What it is is a bad flash due to lack of wipe from data. I noticed once I didn't wipe data the lockscreen never showed up.

Agreed it is from a bad flash. Also, opening the keyboard will work to unlock the phone. If it's a Shift. But it will not solve the issue. Best thing is a Full Wipe (as you mentioned), and a reflash. Plus I'm not so sure he has a Shift. His Sig says EVO4G. He might have posted int the wrong section.
I've noticed funky things happening when you plug your phone in as it powers down.
Once it cleared everything off all my home screens.
soo i do have an evo 4g, not the shift but my thread was moved by someone else?
anyways.. i solved the problem temporarily, i flashed a new ROM and it worked fine i booted it up got all my contacts back, recovered apps, etc. then i turned it off. turned back on no problems... used for about 2 hours removed some preinstalled stuff i didn't want. phone was being unusually slow, so i restarted it and when it turned back on.. lock screen was gone again

I would say reflash again. But this time, do not remove anything unless your absolutely certain about what your removing.
My brothers Xoom which is the original and new out of the box every time he restarts it prompts him to do the setup wizard,anyone know why?
It seems like it doesnt save his settings regardless of having the settings all correct. Im not a xoom man as have the notion ink, vega and ipad so if anyone does know please let me know what we can try.
Its 32gb and not rooted and brand new out of the box.
Thanks!
Maybe the best, since it's brand-new and not modded (it IS not modded, right?) is to bring it to Motorola for repair? Or use the warranty to replace it? Cause there may be a solution for it now, but who knows if it will cause any more problems in the future?
EDIT: Just noticed I answered everything with a question. I mean: with a question?
Yes its not modded in anyway as I think he got it about 6 months ago and has never really used it. It has honeycomb as sold and even requests an update but even that after downloading and rebooting does nothing as it goes into the setup wizard again and then requests you to download the update again which seems to suggest its not doing anything. The unit is 32 gb internal and shows approx 29 gb still available. If it was mine I would be mods it was mine I would of nodded that ages ago but very strange it keeps doing this.
Just want to know if anyone has experienced this with a xoom
at all?
Just do a master reset and wipe the Xoom.

Yeah I did a factory data reset and its doing exactly the same. Every time you reboot after installing apps or the update its asking to apply it kicks into the setup wizard. Baffled now! !!
Hi HTC inspire users,
I have a HTC inspire 4g on AT&T that was purchased around last year of March that has never been rooted (too worried about rooting), and a few weeks ago(just found this forum), my phone, to my belief, updated by it self over night. The next morning I found my phone not working at all, and was not able to start up to the home screen. However, the screen was black and lit and kept going through a boot loop. I freaked out, and asked for help on another forum (not phone related forum), and was told to turn off, and factory reset. I did this after removing the SD card so my personal data wasnt wiped. After I did the Factory reset, my phone continued to do the boot loop which has gotten me lost.
Ive been told to do a recovery from the menu by holding down the volume button while turning on the device. Even doing so my phone will not work.
Is there Any way possible to make the phone work again?
Thanks,
Matt

ok, pulling the sdcard to avoid deleting personal data is useless. When u do a factory reset all information is wiped except the sdcard..anyway, you have to flash this in fastboot usb.
To boot in fastboot you have to do this: pull the battery, then press volume down + power until you get a white screen with 3 androids at the bottom. Then press power to choose fastboot. Plug the phone to the PC and you should see fastboot usb in red in the cell. Run this exe file (is the official AT&T ruu):
http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
If you are not having a hardware issue, then the phone it should reboot normally when done.
Thanks Glevitan!
Ill give this a shot, if something pops-up ill be sure to ask.
Got it working Thanks Alot!!!
However, when i did do the process, i had issue where I couldnt get into the Fastboot menu.. However, I left the phone charging all day and it seemed to cure it. And then the first time I tried to flash the software, it didnt work, second time it had no issues. Could this mean something?
Edit:
After using my inspire 4g for awhile one thing that does not go away is the immense lag from the App Drawer, with no new programs from the market, but the Factory apps.

Att Firmware Is a buggy as all the others. It Is weird that You end up in boot loop being stock.....maybe there's something in the hardware that Is messed. Just try to use it and assess the bebaviour of the device for a while, then if nothing Is failing You can try root it and run a custom ROM.....
Glad to have it back....:laugh:
Well I got my phone a little over 2 months ago. I have the HTC Evo Design 4G on Boost Mobile. Running ICS.
Android Version 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version 3.6
Well a few weeks ago i had my phone stuck in a boot loop. Well needless to say ever since then its been acting funny. I got it out of the boot look my going into the HBoot and doing a factory reset. Well that worked for a little bit then my phone would kinda reset itself. like when you first turn your phone on and it sets the desktop up. I know not the right words to use. But anyways it did that for a while. Now my phone just reset itself. Like i lost all my pics and lost all my custom ringtones. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue with their phone. I also get the voicemail icon come up randomly too. Even when I do not have a voicemail. Lately my phone seems kinda sluggish. I got it from best buy and got the protection on it too. I wanted to see if there is a fix or if this is a known issue with the device. Any help would be appreciated. If you need anymore information about the issue please let me know.
Alright, after hours of searching, I've decided to ask the forum for help. Here's my dilemma, I just recently flashed the Google Play Edition ROM to my M8, and I love it. Its awesome, and I've been utilizing/exploring as much as the customization options as possible since I flashed the ROM a day ago.
But today, my cellular connection completely cut out. All I get is a little empty triangle in the top right hand corner of my screen that's supposed to show the signal. Its like my phone doesn't even know its a Verizon phone. Pulling the SIM does nothing, rebooting does nothing. So I decided to make a backup using TWRP and I wiped all the data from my phone (still keeping the ROM of course) and now my service works again.
So I figure I must have messed with some setting that ended up having this result, being that just clearing data solves the issue. I could just start over, but I've already done so much and I don't want to just give up. Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to get my cellular connection back?
Thank you so much in advance!
