Edit: Oops, I meant to post this in Q&A :/
I was running CM10 with cwm recovery and decided to odin back to stock VRALF2.
It said succeeded, but now my phone is stuck on the 4GLTE screen... Not sure what to do?
You didn't factory reset your phone.
Boot into recovery by powering off your phone then hold vol down+home+power until you get to recovery. Now, if it's blue text it's stock recovery and will wipe everything off your internal sd card. I'm fairly confident that you will have stock recovery after flashing VRALF2.
Do the factory reset/data wipe and you should be fine.
Same thing happened to me. Flashed stock and stuck on screen. Had to return due to screen defect. It has been months and it seems I am clear with Verizon. No charges for software alterations or anything of that nature

Anybody know how to enter stock recovery? button combination?
Ive tried power on plus up, and power on plus down. I would just flash CWM and make it easy, but i might be returning the phone to tmobile for my screen bleed soon and want the phone to remain stock for now.
SO anyone know how to get into stock recovery?
On the dev forum there's an image of the stock recovery. Sorry i'm on the phone
why? what are you trying to do? if you never flashed cwm, vol. down and power will do a factory reset. as of now, there is no way to enter the stck recovery. just a factory reset.

Not true.
I posted a way to get to stock recovery
Download rom manager
Go to settings, SD and phone storage then unmount phone storage
Now
Go to rom manager and reboot into recovery then it takes you to a screen when you hit home and it shows the blue stock recovery screen....
Not sure how to make selections though

I tried to install a new kernel on my phone, but it went south and started bootlooping. I flashed to stock with Odin, but it still bootlooped. I flashed the stock kernel, and guess what? Still bootlooping.
What can I do? I don't think it's bricked, since I can still access recovery, but I can't think of where to go from here.
Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash kernel. What kernel is it?

No recovery mode
Hey,
I tried upgrading to ICS (4.0.4- official Rogers) using Kies. that went poorly, and I soft bricked (bootloop). I tried putting the stock ROM back on and I still have the bootloop.
things to know:
No recovery mode - phone vibrates and reboots when you hold down power and vol up and down
When using odin phone screen stays on download mode screen until it reboots.
Would I need to use commands to factory reset the phone?
I put a rom on my Skyrocket and it was working but the screen was flickering occasionally. I followed the sticky on how to go back stock and it showed to have passed in odin but when it would power up it will just keep rebooting on the white splash screen for att. I tried booting into cwr but all I have now is Android System Recovery, What do I need to do??

Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot

My devise is unlocked, rooted and I have flashed clockwork recovery. I backed up my system using clockwork and was still using my ASUS system. I wanted to reset the tablet to factory and when I did it just went to the Android. After 20 minitues I realized there was a problem since it kept spinning. I tried to reboot to recovery by holding down the power and down vol keys but it will not go to recovery. Any Ideas? any Help.
No one will believe this

So I was really upset about the tablet and just left it in the loop. Even after I attempted to re-boot it several times I was trying to let the battery run out. Well after about an hour it booted into the factory reset tablet. I'm going to leave it alone!! No more roms or recovery's for me. All I saw was $400 down the drain. Thank God its running again.
Next time you can follow these steps in order to install the stock ROM.:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...er-update-your-me301t-using-adb-fastboot.html
It works with fastboot which means that you can flash the ROM even if the device is bootloops.
It saved more than once
Let me preface from saying I've had this phone and flashed countless ROMs on it.
Also the power button died on it (fast reboot etc problem) and since I had already ordered my Nexus 5 I just decided to rip the button off and use it for the few weeks until I got my new phone.
Now that its been a while I decided to see what I could do with it and wanted to boot. It wouldn't boot and was stuck at the loading screen for a good hour. So I went okay I'll just decide to use Odin and bring it back to stock. Followed the guide here to the T and 3 separate times all that happens is the phone is stuck at the S boot screen. Tried both stock roms posted.
Now since I don't have a power button I can't get into recovery (which I'm assuming is wiped but I have the Odin recovery ready to flash but whats the point?)
I tried adb/fastboot and the phone isn't recognized.
Any suggestions? Currently stuck at the boot logo for 1hr 25min. I'm aware of wiping the cache but I don't know how to do that without recovery.
Edit: So I opened the sucker again, got some foil and shorted the power button contacts and actually got to the stock recovery and did a wipe of the data and cache. Now booting fingers crossed. If this doesn't work at least I know I can get into recovery and install TWRP and a custom rom and see if that boots. However if this is a go then I'm good (only want it t run Perktv)
Edit2: So I couldn't get anything to install with TWRP (tried 3 different roms) so I went to the other recovery (Philz?)
Was able to install SlimKat (was using SlimBean when I was using the phone) and was finally able to install it... now its in a boot loop.
So I guess back to fully wiping (again) but I remember with these phones you had to do the wipe 2x which I didn't do. God I'm so spoiled with the Nexus.
Off to do that and see if that helps.
Edit3: Worked!! Woohoo
