All my searching (xda, google, phandroid) attempts only came up with people having problems flashing roms. THIS IS NOT THAT.
I have a Nexus S 4G (d720) running stock 4.0.4 (never rooted or flashed a rom on this phone). As of about 3 hours ago, my phone has reset itself four times. 3/4 rebooting to android robot with red triangle. The last one reboot to the google logo and then was stuck for 10 minutes. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Without fail, it's done it every night for four nights. Can anyone help?

Now, it restarts to a screen of the android robot and a rotating light blue wireframe complex shape of some sort...then it changes to the dead robot with the red exclamation mark. I don't even know what to google anymore....any help??
If it has never been unlocked, rooted and completely stock...I would just take it in for service. If you want to root and flash then we can help :thumbup:

I'll take it in tomorrow, if they can't help...would it change anything to root and flash a rom? or could it be something hardware related?
Found a post with a similar problem here. It looks like going to the sprint store won't help much...
Take it in first. If not I say root and see if that solves it.

I took it in, they did a "Factory Factory Reset" where they have to input a "special code" and it spazzed out within 5 minutes of me turning it on. So completely stock, no apps, no nothing. fresh out of the box and synced to my gmail, it did the same thing. The only new thing I've put on my phone in the last month has been a Zagg screen protector...and I'm fairly certain that has nothing to do with it. So they ordered me a new one, hopefully it lasts longer than this one. Thanks for your help.
Glad it worked out.

Hey guys I have happily had my samsung infuse for over a year now. I decided to root my device around 6 months ago, and I have been happily using the Zeus Rom. All of a sudden my phone has started to freeze up at the title screen and not allow me to go further. It literally freezes up and shuts off? Now I have attempted to hard-reset and wipe all the cache's but seems as if nothing works. And to add upon that, my USB slot doesn't work either (been charging off of an Anker Charger) for the last 2 months. Therefore, Odin is out of the question. What should I do?
Please help!
Regards,
Ahadsz
If you still have the ROM on your phone then wipe everything and reinstall it. See what happens.

Upload a ROM to drop box and grab it from there so you can flash it

hey guys I picked up a gt-p3113 at a pawn shop yesterday for 50 dollars...
I am not new to xda but new to this device...
anyway I have been reading in here since then downloaded odin and used cf auto root to root the device. found mobile odin lite and want to try flashing cm10.1 on it.
where I am getting hung up at is in the tutorial it says install clockwork recovery . I believe this is kinda like a loader for recovery?
I went to the website to download cwm and realized quick I didntknow what I was doing. which file do I get and how do I flash it?
or am I wrong in my understanding that I even need this.
I apologize I am aware it is all here somewhere and I have read alot on it I just dont want to destroy this device. unfortunately since this device has had alot of work done xda is overwhelming. I am sure in a few weeks I will be caught up
thanks guys any help is appreciated.

one more question... battery life on this device drains quick in comparison to our kindle fire hd. will another rom help hattery life? if it makes it worse I am relatively content with stock.
I just feel like I bought a computer at walmart and have a bunch of software and processes I do not want. instead of a clean install.

Well for one, i'd use the desktop version of Odin, if you look on the development section, you should be able to find , for ex, Cf Autoroot, to flash via odin, and after that, flash an odin package for CWM recovery, remember to do a full NANDROID backup after this, just incase.. they're both extremely quick and simple to do, but you must follow each guide to the very last detail, as any mistakes can lead to a $50 paperweight, btw, awesome deal on your tab, 50 is pretty sweet! On the topic of ROMs, there are handfuls of ROMs built off of stock source, either debloated roms, or roms like Sungsonic, there are also Kernels/boot images, if its stock source, keep to stock intended kernels and boot images, as CM or AOKP kernels WILL NOT WORK.

thank you I am thinking the nightly is what I want for cm10.1
just did a backup using cwm this nandroid thing I will have to google
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
you'll be able to go into cwm recovery and make a full backup of your current rom, kernel etc...and remember, before flashing, factory reset in cwm, clear cache and dalvik, flash ROM, clean cache and dalvik again, the flash any other enhancements, personally, I'm using AOKP Milestone 1, 4.1.2, AOKP kernel,overclocked, my device can handle 1.42ghz (1420mhz) stable, i have it undervolted to save battery, and have my gpu overclocked when i game or bench, also using Beats Audio/Noozxoide to get some sickkkk sound out of the Wolfson DAC, never had ANY device that compares to the sound quality in this thing Happy flashing!

Its okay , you have to do this in CWM, you can download the google apps package for your version of android from Goo.im, make sure you get the package thats for your version of android, then place the zip files of the rom and gapps in your microSD or internal, if using internal, flash zips from sd in cwm, if in microsd, flash zips from external in cwm, start with the rom, factory reset, clear cache, advanced, clean dalvik, flash the rom, clean cache and dalvik again, flash the gapps, clean cache and dalvik, then reboot, ALWAYS leave your tab after it boots for 10 minutes , after 10 minutes, reboot it, leave it for another 5, reboot again, then use, this gives the device time to do some first time running operations

okay files downloaded, device is at 50 percent batt life so will charge first, worst case scenario I should be able to flash using odin back to stock corect? I have no desire to reflash kernels from stock at this point... usually I take my time and do my homework better on these devices but this one fell into my lap. and well im impatient.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
As long asyou dont cause some freak of nature hard brick that stops you from entering download mode on your tab (holding power and vol down) you'll be able to use stock image from Sammobile to return to stock, you can flash it using odin , and dont worry, i had my tab for 3 days and it already pretty much had chrome spinners, i was impatient too, came from an Acer Iconia A100, so its a little learning curve, but overall, pretty good

I've been working on rooting my phone 4 a couple of days, thought I had accomplished all I needed and then realized that I was still s-off. my ultimate goal is to downgrade to froyo and then upgrade with unrEVOked to Jellybean. The biggest problem I have is that my windows pc is flipping out on me and all I have is a mac. I also have a newborn and can't even begin to try and figure out vmware or dualbooting or anything. My wife's already having a hard time with me trying 2 finish rooting my droid. I've spent hours reading everything I can (still very much a noob, don't understand terminal, c prompt, or flashing) and have probably been just really lucky getting to where I'm at. Other posts I've read are wither windows only, s-on, or not 2.3.5. Help, I'm desperate!! I really don't want 2 have 2 pay the guy on FB either. Any help at all is greatly appreciated since I know how valuable time is 4 everyone.
Thanks in advance!

And also, somehow I messed up the ability to use my Ian connection on my phone...

Why do you want to lose S-Off? You should probably wait for some time until you can donate some time to this, distractions can be extremely annoying on OSes like Android.
Mostly because I've been having issues with a couple of apps not being able to work because of s-on. Maybe you're right though, I need to take some time with it. Got my Windows back up but it still doesn't help since my usb connection with my phone's not working. Tried multiple cables, renamed usb slot, downloaded most recent drivers, but nada.

I just tried to load a cyanogen mod and got a bootloop... Still think I've messed something up. Yay for Titanium Backup.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Anyone have any ideas? I'm about to factory reset and try again if there's no other way. Thinking it might be a good idea since my usb is crapped out.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
If your USB slot(on the phone) is broken,you're pretty much screwed. Try posting in the evo 4g forums,they might help. And I don't understand what you mean by loading a cyanogenmod. Do you mean from the recovery?
Finally got everything working. My usb's data connection was hosed, different one worked. Windows is back up. Successful root to 2.3.7. Now to upgrade. Is there a way to get to ICS or jellybean from here?

Hi I am a total newbie in android and rooting. So a few months age I rooted my s2 using an insecure rom 4.0.4 bvlph. afrer a few my phone started turning itself off even when battery is near 100 percent . when i turned the phone on again it started saying low battery. This kept happening a lot and it has now come to a situation where i can not use the phone for more than an hour doing anything. I have attachdd a picture which shows the battery drain and how quickly it happens. I have also attached a picture which describes my phones details. I was suggested XDA by a friend and was hoping that someone can point me to the right direction.
Many thanks for your help.

You can try wiping battery stats, or flashing a new ROM altogether

Try flashing stock rom via odin
Just Google it

Flash a new custom rom..
And do a full wipe before installation..
If that doesnt work then there is something wrong with ur battery
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk 2
Although if his battery wasn't having this problem before, it seems unlikely that it just developed exactly when he rooted.
Like they all said though, do a full wipe before you flash a new ROM.

It looks like that this rom Network and Wifi is eating up your battery the most. I would say its cause that your network signal is poor and your phone keeps searching for a good signal and that is using up your battery. You can try flashing a new rom as well as getting a new card (transfer the number to a new sim card).
