So I installed clockwork and then installed an unlocked bootloader, after that I booted into recovery and installed cm 10 and gapps after I wiped data. Once that all finished I started the phone up I was already activated and stuff like that, but every time I would restart it would bring up a screen talking about activating my phone, and it never did anything just sat on that screen.
So I looked around and saw a post with someone having the same issue, and someone told them to wipe data and clear dalvik cache, so that's what I did. Once I started it back up, I had to go through the setup process again, this time it stopped and activated my phone, but it fails every time.
How could I fix this? I also tried installing cm10.1 and Liquid and neither of those would activate either.
If all else fails I will do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253 but I'm afraid that won't work correctly either..
Had the same problem after flashing the Carbon rom. Try going in settings>More>Mobile Networks>Preferred Network Mode. Select CDMA / EvDo auto. Reboot.
Ah that fixed it! I didn't have to activate either, it just started working.
Oddly though I tried dialing *22890 and it failed to activate.
I do have another question though, when I reboot it still seems to come up with the activation screen. Any idea how I can stop that from happening?

So last night, I was trying move the dalvik cache to my ext2 partition. I am on a custom rom, b2tb. while trying to move dalvik, I did something wrong and it seriously screwed up my phone. I had a backup, but when i tried to restore it, i got an md5sum mismatch. I had two choices: odin, or wipe data/factory reset. not wanting to deal with going all the way back to stock, root, install cwm recovery, flash again, all that, i chose to wipe data through recovery mode. it fixed whatever i screwed up, but now when i reboot, my phone doesnt connect to data right away, and i get a message saying process com.android.phone has stopped working. i force close it and then it connects, but then it usually force closes again. i think its because my apn isnt connecting right away, and also think my apn settings could somehow be stored on my sd card, because it wont stay connected until after it says media scanning completed in the notification bar. i could be wrong about where my apn settings are being stored, but im still having problems with my internet connection not working right away on reboot. if i cant fix this, im gonna have to reflash b2tb and i dont want to do that. please help.
try to reset the apn settings i forgot what app does that to save the battery
Hello, tried finding a thread with the same issue but was not able to.
I did my first flash to a custom and the ROM flash went without any issues.
(TrickDroid for the S4 ROM)
Installation went fine, phone started up and I started setting up the accounts and WiFi.
Then when those steps were done the "update is available" screen came up.
There I have to choose data connection, WiFi only or any connection with the OK button at the bottom.
Well nothing happens when clicking the OK button and same result choosing either of the two choices.
Update available screen is the first thing I see after each reboot.
Done this update a few times before when phone has been reset due to updates and then it has worked just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: I reinstalled Trickdroid and removed my simcard before booting.. That way I got past the system update screen and am now able to use the phone.
Also disabled auto update and hopefully will not get stuck at that screen again.
I'm trying to remove apps that's on this phone (GT-S7500) because some of the apps always force close and not working. Firstly, I tried uninstall the apps one by one, all went good until I rebooted the device, all of the apps are back again. Second, went to privacy>erase everything including SD card content, device rebooted and went straight to recovery. It was weird because normally it will reboot itself straight to home screen. So I select the option factory reset/wipe data, after that wipe cache partition and reboot. Device does not reboot but turned off completely (weird again) Turned it back on, and only saw that none of the apps were removed. Even the wallpaper are still the same. Next thing I do is manually boot into recovery menu and factory reset again, still the same thing, (device turned off without rebooting itself, turned it back on and everything was still the same) after few tries again, I finally decided to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Flashing was successful ODIN shows PASS, waiting device reboot but it shut off completely again. turned it back on, but nothing changes. wallpaper are still the same and every single downloaded apps were still there. Went to settings> about device only to found that it wasn't the same rom that I've flashed earlier using ODIN.(flashed 2-3 times again, results still the same) Very confused right now, suspected that the internal SD card was corrupted/damaged. Does anyone experiencing such thing on your galaxy ace plus? searched on xda forums and found that this issue was also happening on few other devices. This is not my phone, just helping a customer. Thank You.

I've been messing around with a few ROMs lately trying to decide what I want to do with my phone. I had just given AOKP a try and decided I wanted to switch over to CyanogenMod for a bit and switch from CWM to TWRP for my recovery.
I swapped recoveries, rebooted to make sure everything was working, then rebooted to TWRP to reset and install CyanogenMod. However, when I did this I kept getting a failed message when I tried to flash the .zip file. I wasn't sure what was happening so I was about to just switch back to CWM when I tried to reboot and got a message from TWRP that no OS was installed and after the reboot was stuck in a boot loop. I figured that the reset had simply wiped my OS and I would have to restore the factory image, annoying but not a big deal. I restored the factory image and rebooted. Setup started and I got to the service activation part. After about 5 minutes it gave me a message saying that it couldn't connect and I could either skip or try again. I hit try again and it just immediately gave me the same message. I skipped it then and finished the setup. After about 30 minutes of having a "signal" but no service, I decided I'd try and re-install the factory image and try again. Same thing happened.
I'm not sure if it's just a problem with my service but I don't think it is and it's a little too late to contact Sprint so I thought I would as here first.
I'd go back to stock first and see if it's the same issue. If not, flash another custom ROM. If it's still an issue, try another SIM. If it's STILL an issue, and you can get the phone back to 100% stock, locked and tamper flag reset you could try and RMA it
Later edit5: Tried to restore my nandroid backup and TWRP froze. Had to hard reboot the phone...
Later edit4: It started working. It f***** started working. Out of nowere. Last night, the last thing i tried was this: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/fix-for-sudden-death-and-boot-loop.146107/
I rebooted the phone and it didn't work. I gave up.
This morning I turned it back on and ... surprise, surprise... it started working (optimizing apps and actually booting into cos12.1).
My happiness didn't last because as soon as the phone started updating some apps, it crashed, and entered a boot loop again. Good thing i managed to copy one of my previous backups.
Can someone explain this behavior?
Later edit3: my phone is still stuck in a bootloop. Neither roms are working.
Things I've tried:
- flash new roms
- erase/ flash persist
- flash color os
Nothing works!
Later edit2: while on cm13, i plugged it in to recharge. While connected to wall plug it did nothing(working fine, as it should be). As soon as i unplugged it started rebooting over and over again... a boot loop. This phone is starting to look like one of the biggest mistakes i ever made. I regret purchasing it.
Later edit: now it just turned off, and pressing the power button won't turn it back on. Had to press it for about 10 - 15 seconds. ANNOYING!
OP: I've been experiencing random reboots on my oneplus ONE since I've had it.
When i first got the phone, i was so excited about it and started flashing custom roms, just for fun and to see which one suites me. I messed up the phone (my camera wouldn't work anymore. All the roms gave me the same message"Camera has stopped working" ) and sent it back to warranty, here in my country, at the shop from which i've bought it. After two weeks they sent it back to me with the note "restored to factory settings". I've checked the "About" section and it was running cos12.1, 1 jan 2016 security patch, kernel 3.4.67.
So I've decided to stick with this rom because I didn't want to mess it up again. But, out of nowhere it rebooted. First i thought that it was an app that needed the phone to reboot. I didn't mind it. I've left my phone over the night and in the morning it was saying "enter pin" as it has rebooted.
Long story short, ever since it reboots at least 1 time a day, and it is getting really frustrating! Sometimes when i'm in an app, sometimes when it just lays around.
Reasons it rebooted:
- no reason, just siting and it rebooted
- opened waze app
- browsing chrome
- tried to connect to a saved wireless network, it rebooted and afterwards the network was not recognized anymore and had to retype the password
- no reason!!! just sitting!!
- fresh install of cos 12.1, i queued about 20 apps to install... it rebooted and continued installing after reboot.
- sometimes i heavily use it and it runs perfectly, but when i stop using the phone and lay it down it reboots. (this only happend one time)
Things I've tried:
- factory reset
- clear cache and dalvik cache
- power cicle the phone
- new rom
None of these worked.
Today I installed sultans CM13, with his 3.4.0 - sultan - caf kernel, hoping that my problems would disappear. (I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0.5, flashed the rom, cleared the cache, flashed the gapps, cleared the cache and reboot.)
It ran flawlessly. I've installed all my apps, played a little with it, configured it as I pleased and I've left it the table for about 15 minutes. When i picked it up, it rebooted(AGAIN!) out of nowhere.
What could it be? As I read through the forums i found out that a log with the exact problem is impossible to get because it gets deleted.
Could it be the wireless network? Could it be the sim card I am using or the phone modem? Could it be because of the launcher?
(for now, i've disabled my sim pin so when my phone reboots i don't miss phone calls if i don't notice it has rebooted)
Please help, as this problem is getting more and more frustrating...
Reboot log
Quickly after a reboot i reconnected the phone, opened cmd and typed adb logcat.
This is the log. 22:17 is the time when the phone rebooted so i extracted only that fragment of the log.
I am going to flash the stock cm13 nightly with the "stock" version of gapps. (until now i always flashed "nano").
