Hi everyone I'n not technically new here, I have used this forum for anything android related from my first android phone, However I have never posted here so bare with me please if it is in the wrong section.
So my story is this, I have had another galaxy s3 before this one which i hard brick because a rom on another website was listed wrong and i installed the international version. After receive my new S3 from Verizon i learned very quickly that I couldn't live without root. So i followed the newest guide to rooting. After I followed the guide completely I ended up with a rooted phone that has No Lockscreen. What i mean by that is when i press the power button to turn the screen off and when it is turned back on it goes straight to the home screen. Even alternatives like (Holo locker and Go Locker) don't work. Also when the phone is factory rest it doesn't bring me to the welcome screen where I'm suppose to set up a new phone with my username and password. The final problem is that it is always in Factory Mode. I have followed guides that require you to run some SU terminal commands and they have not work. Everytime a boot my phone it is still in factory mode.
I have googled endlessly for a solution and found nothing. Can you please help me?

long story short. i bought a locked g1. did the factory reset. dont have data but have a sim card. i was trying to do the activation over wifi.
when i press enter type reboot and press enter nothing happens.
every time i downgrade to rc29 everything goes smoothly, until its time to reset it after its complete. I restart it and it always get stuck at the screen with the andriod and it says andriod beside it flashing from time to time.
the only way around this is to next install cupcake which brings me back to the activations screen. but i still cant reboot by typing in reboot
its not taking any commands so i cant never get adb to work.
from my searches I'm the only that has this problem right after downgrading to rc29
any info/ help would be greatly appreciated
Do you mean the screen that says "touch the android to continue"? You might want to do what it says.
Oh, and you might want to also do what this FORUM says... post your questions in the QUESTIONS section.
It appears to me that there is nothing wrong except that you aren't willing to follow the instructions.

I only found one other person that was having this problem after loading dreaing.nbh and no solution was posted other than he might need to upgrade to rc33

You mean you found one other person who couldn't follow directions. You won't get anywhere by sassing lbcoder.
Start by posting the question in the right subforum, then follow the directions on the CM wiki.
Ive tried everything. I followed the directions to the T. Its not rocket science. I done everything over 10 times and still hangs at the flashing andriod boot screen. Never goes to the activation screen. I can do the <enter>reboot<enter> and that works. also was able to sucessfully connect to adb for the first. when i tried it at this screen. i get an error when trying to pull up the wifi settings cause my phone itsnt functioning properly.
anybody???
Maybe try something else like RC7. When I was rooting my G1 I followed a tutorial which was recommending RC7 and RC29 to do telnet stuff. RC7 wasn't working for me so I tried RC29 and everything was OK. Maybe it's the same for you, but in reversed order .
i well try it asap. the only reason i havent tried it yet cause im in the u.s. i didnt think i could use it.
got a not allowed. its funny cause when i first tried it i think the image was messed up. it said not found or something. try it a couple times didnt work stopped and let it power up normal and it worked. i was excited. i was able to register it over wifi and everything.. turned it off swiped sim cards ect. then it just got stuck back on the flashing andriod screen. wtf? so im starting all over again it hangs again at that screen as usual
i would try flashing RC33 first...
I would try posting this in the proper forum. It seems to me you asked a question, however you posted in the Android Development forum, see where I'm going with this?
I originally had my phone rooted but I wanted to update my software to Jelly Bean so I unrooted it.
For some odd reason, the software didn't update even after I unrooted it, and I've tried everything but I think
I messed something up because now I can't even get back to the home screen
It's stuck in the HTC logo white screen and I can get into the bootloader menu page by pressing down on the volume and
power key.
But no matter what I press, like I selected the factory reset but it keeps coming back to the bootloader page.
I just want to get back to my home screen.
I'm a COMPLETE NOOB that does not know anything about flashing rom or boot.img or those things.
Please help I can't sleep because of this
It's probably better to ask questions in the "One S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" forum, in there you will find an ***Emergency Thread***. It would have been more helpful to post exactly the steps you took.
For sure it's recoverable - nothing to lose sleep over!
You will need to come up to speed on the terminological and tools that are used. My suggestion is to have a careful read of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076086. It has a reference to a toolkit - I've not used it, but it looks cool.
Another link that helped me is http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-...der-install-recovery-root-your-htc-one-s.html
i have an lg g2 vs980 and i rooted it but have not yet installed a recovery like twrp it is only the very basic root with super user. it decided to install some ota update and now it will not boot past lg screen, white letters flash really fast all i could make out was secure boot error or something. i cannot get it into any kind of download or reset mode, iv tried absolutely everything anyone on this forum has recommended or suggested and nothing works, also when i connect it to my pc running windows 8 it is seen as QSUSB_BULK i have installed the correct updated drivers for my phone and iv manually installed them, nothing i have done will allow my pc to see my phone correctly. when i plug it in it under computer there are local drives f-u that pop up and say i have to format them in order to use them, but they are write protected so i cannot view whats in them, format them or anything. does anyone out there have any kind of suggestion to fix this or am i just completely stupid and missing some big major step? i am also very new to android this is my first android phone lol im a converted apple user haha so the more indept detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone come up with a solution to this? I am very new to Android, I have Rooted my G2 so I could install Custom Rom's. Yesterday I receive a OTA update, I refused it and then later when it came up again was going to refuse it, but my shaky finger touched the screen and started the update! next thing I know I have a $600.00 brick. if you hold the power button down It will flash the LG logo and then NADA, screen is lit but nothing happens. Hold the power button and after a few it will Flash the logo again but NADA again. If you hold the down and power button it will go to the reset screen, but again this will not reset the device. PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.
Hello,
I am a newbie... Tried to unlock and root my HTC One X based on some YouTube videos and the forum discussions here. However, I am stuck. I am sure I missed out some steps or committed an error... I downloaded an all-in-one tool kit, everything was fine until the TWRP process. My phone froze on that step and the phone touch does not respond... so I press the power + volume down and the phone resets to original settings but it starts with the TWRP screen. I also believe the TWRP process has been permanently stored and installed into the system because it does not erase despite factory reset.
I also tried to follow another set of instructions, after the all-in-one-tool kit set up... but it doesn't work.... I own this phone but this is my work phone and I need to get it right... Please help, I have been up for two nights straight to set it right....
Thank you... Look forward to some good interaction and elaborate feedback...
Hello Everybody!
I would like to kindly ask you for some help regarding my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 phone. The phone has been locked in a network and further more, in the last months has experienced the autorestart issue. I have read other threads here (before posting this one) and I have seen that other people experience the phone vibrating and continuing to restart in the first two screens. Also, if battery had been taken out, when putting it back in the phone would restart.
After reading the possible solutions here, I have hoped that installing a new ROM on the phone might solve this problem. I have also installed the CWM-based recovery and I believe I have managed to root it. (I am not an expert, but I have managed to root before two Samsung phones after the instructions given here - everything worked flawlessly).
However, yesterday, after obtaining a successful install screen from the version Inspiration_Rom_V18_Kitkat_Edition.zip downloade from this forum, I am stuck with my phone in the CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.8 screen. I have tried to install other ROM stable versions from the forum but I seem not to be able to get rid of this screen.
Might I want to add that the phone escaped the former rebooting issue, the battery and the power button seem to work fine now. For example I can shut the phone down, I can restart it, if I take the battery out and put it back in, it will not automatically start. Is there still hope? Have i bricked it?
Please advise and excuse me if I have written anything stupid,
Vlad

Thanks so much! Succeeded! I have access to my phone again and it is rooted.
However, I did not get rid of the VODAFONE ROMANIAN NETWORK LOCK.
Can I also do this at home?
