hi,
i am not rooted with stock(one s), and all of a sudden my phone stuck and started restarting itself over and over again.
what should i do ?
i can access the special screen when holding the volume button, but i dont know what to do there.
can someone help me please?
Boot into your recovery and recover an old image or wipe ROM and reinstall. The Boot.img from the previous ROM you were using was probably messed up and this should probably resolve your issue.
Dude he has not rooted how will he recover an old image and flash new ROMs??
Go into bootloader(the special screen u mentioned above) and do a factory reset from there...

i have a crazy problem!
i made already 3-4 factory reset, and after the reset, everything works perfectly until i try do activate or de-activate the wifi. when i click "on" the phone crashes again and goes into restart loop, and in order to stop it i need to do factory reset.
I don't know what to do!!
Now,go into fastboot and flash the kernel(boot.img) and then do a factory reset...this should work...

actually, i just find how to fix this problem.
(i don't know how to flash kernel or stuff like that cause i never did it.)
though i searched the internet and read about the same problem that someone had, and the fix is to cancel the "sync internet" for the google account in "settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Google -> uncheck Sync Internet"
than i can turn on\off WiFi how much i want with no boot loop.
the bad thing is that i needed to do like 4 factory resets until i got it.i think that if it happen that it is possible to clear somehow the storage data via the boot loader and re-configure the google account and imminently uncheck the "sync internet" check-box. and in this case a factory reset is not needed. but it's too late for me
this is the link where i find the solution:

does any one know what this "sync Internet" does in the google account? i
Thanks,

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.

I decided to restore the phone but when i want to do that it wants a samsung account password which i forgot.
I tried also hard reset with dialing *2767*3855#. phone tried to shut down but didnt do it can i restore another way?
I also saw a video on youtube for gs2 with said that i have to press vol up home and power when the phone is ON until it reboots to android system recovery. then do factory reset there.
But will it work on our phone without root ?
Please help my phone starts annoying me

Yes buddy. You can reboot your phone to Stock recovery (as you said you are not rooted and i hope u have not installed CWM). Switch off ur phone and switch on. When samsung logo appears, just press menu key+Volume up button. It will boot into recovery mode. From there you can wipe data/Factory reset your phone.
thanks for this tipp helped me out but do you know why the media kept scanning
At my girlfriend it was a sign before her her microsd goes defective......

So earlier today I booted into stock recovery and wiped the cache partition in the hopes that it might get the bugs out and speed my N5 up a bit. Well, while wiping the cache partition the phone frozen. I held the power button to reboot the device. The phone booted up fine, but I've seemed to have lost my carrier settings. I've taken the sim in and out several times and cannot get the device to connect to a mobile network. Carrier settings is not present under settings so I cannot manually update the profile. The phone is stock and running on the Sprint network. Anyone have any ideas how to get this thing working again? Thanks for your help!
Have you tried resetting your APNs back to default as well as setting preferred network to LTE/CDMA?

The option is there, you just have to find it under Wireless & Networks. I'm on a custom ROM so it appears in a different part of the menu.
Select Settings.
Select More Settings.
Select Mobile Networks.
Select Access Point Names.

I think thats what he means. "Mobile network" is gone.... Maybe?
Yes that's what i mean. Carrier Settings is missing as an option. I tired to do a factory reset under settings but when I click the button nothing happens. This is very odd.

This happened to me before. I wiped cache, it seemed like it hung up so I rebooted and lost network connectivity. Lucky for me (and you) it's easily fixable. Go back into recovery and wipe cache again. This time let it finish. It might seem like it's stuck but just let it run its course. When it's done, boot it back up and everything should be fine.

Thanks for the message; I wish I would have seen it sooner. I did fix the issue, but in a round about way. I tried to do a factory reset in recovery and the same thing happened it just froze up... or maybe was just was taking a long time. Anyway my impatience lead me to reboot, well that put me into a boot loop. Great... So i decide the only way out of this was to flash a factory image. Upon unlocking the bootloader and rebooting from fastboot all is back to normal. I hadn't planned on rooting my N5, but I'm this far now I might as well do it. Thanks everyone for the insight!
Thanks for reading this thread.
My beloved Nexus 5 rebooted 2 days ago and was stuck in a loop. I went into Recovery and cleared the cache, hoping it would stop the looping. I was able to get it stable at first, but then I realized the Wi-Fi is now stuck in a persistent "Turning Wi-Fi On..." mode. The MAC address reads "Unavailable" in the Phone Status section of the Settings.
Things I tried:
Clearing cache
Airplane mode on/off
Factory Reset
Wi-Fi Fixer (app)
Simultaneous Factory Reset & OTA Update to 5.1
Unlock & Root (was previously locked and stock)
Clearing of /data/wifi directory
Modification of .bdaddr and .macaddr files with Hex Edit as per the detailed instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52441901&postcount=47
I believe I have truly exhausted my options. Google phone support merely transferred me to LG tech support, which told me to pay up and ship out my phone before any repair quotes are given. That is truly a last resort to me. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

What you have not tried is flashing the factory images.
Factory reset simply clears the /data partiton. If there is an issue with any other partitions, it will not fix those.
If flashing factory images cleanly does not work, then you have a hardware issue.

I will download the factory image and try that. Thank you in advance if it works.
I'm also have this issue on a clean install of the factory image.

If you have this problem on a 100% clean install with zero modification and nothing installed, you have a hardware issue.
Well, I downloaded the factory images from Google's website & ran the script to install all of them. It took about 10 minutes to run but it completed.
Still no Wi-Fi :crying:
My Nexus exited its warranty period in November, so I'm going to have to see if Google will replace it for me anyway. Something definitely went wrong in the hardware. RIP Nexus

I'm having a similar issue with my g flex 2. I did a factory reset and now it does a loop on the setup wizard. I cannot get to the recovery screen by pushing the power button and volume down and I can't get it to connect with my computer with usb. Is there another way to do a hard reset?
If you stuck on Google Account , you can try this:
When you enter your email address, select all and hold your finger to showing option. "Cut, Copy, Past, Assist"
Use Assist, choose >> No thanks . And a browser will be showing.
Enter "Setting" And the settings icon will show up.
Go to Settings then Apps.
Disable every single Google app (Chrome, Slides, Sheets, Gmail, maps, Youtube, Hangouts etc. etc anything that is Google in origin.)
Disable all Google Play everything including Play Services and Store
Disable Google Account Manager and Google App
Disable Google services like calendar and contacts sync, text to speech I think, services framework, one time init, and partner setup
Also went to Security, Administrators, and removed Device Manager
---pretty sure I covered it...
back out of menu, reboot phone.
You should be able uncheck Wi-Fi and Mobile networks and still be able to hit Next at the bottom right, FRP check is disabled. Once it boots all the way into the interface, go to Settings, Backup and Reset and do a factory reset.

I put in my google account info and it worked fine, but it just keeps looping through the setup instead of finishing it. At the end, if I time it right, I can swipe down and get into settings so I thought I could reset it that way, but the reset option isn't even there.
