[Q] soft bricked - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I don't have much time have to ship back my phone to verizon soon. I rooted my phone and installed a cwm so i can transfer my game data to my replacement and i unrooted and i was trying to flash a stock verizon rom so that everything was factory before shipping it and now its stuck on bootload loop. I need some help quick.

Pull battery then boot into stock recovery and perform factory reset.

I need help please

I have a problem with my sidekick 4g when I try to go into recovery mode it freezes on the boot logo after that I tried charging it to see if nomorepowah would show up but I have to take the battery out for like an hour I've been trying to find the stock recovery and I can't find it I didn't change the recovery either all I tried doing a long time ago is install cwm but now it freezes when I try to go into recovery anybody have an answer to why its doing this?

Might have to odin back. I think its partially the nomoarpower's fault. Its obviously affecting how your booting, and it is a coverup for boot. Try removing it, and if it dosent work, then odin back to stock, then flash whatever you had. This might not be the solution, just trying to help

Download Titanium Backup and try to delete it.
Then install ICS messaging from the market.
I would assume this would work but I haven't tried it so back it up just in case.

can i do factory reset on my rooted samsung dart

can i do factory reset on my rooted samsung dart safely or would it brick my phone? Can someone please help
You can do it via CWM recovery but if you do it in the privacy menu I believe it causes you to get stuck in a recovery bootloop.
Funny because I just did this and I'm trying to pull myself out of this hole.

Data malfunctioning

So I recently rooted my device via Odin and attempted to flash Zeus ROM 6 through cwm. There was an error with the flash as the ROM did not load properly. I reset my phone in the cwm menu so my phone got a fresh factory reset. However, my hspa+ will not activate, although I do get a signal. What should I do?? I have tried another factory reset and turning airplane mode on and off. Still no luck 
My infuse is running 2.3.6 if that even makes a difference.
This is a repost since the last was not answered.

Doing a factory reset in recovery is not the same as puttin your phone back to stock...your still running Zeus...
Just use heimdall or Odin and go back to stock

But the thing is, my phone isn't running the Zeus ROM. It's still 2.3.6 with 2.6.35.7 kernel.
I look at my mobile network type and it says it's UMTS versus the hsdpa(or something like that)that it was using earlier. It also reads my mobile network state as disconnected but is still in service (just cant use data based applications such as Facebook)
Should I still try to unroot my phone??

Doc, It is not uncommon for the mobile state to say disconnected. I am on my sgs3 at the moment, it says mine is disconnected, yet all is well.

There is a misunderstanding... my network state says my device is disconnected. I am not able to access any app that requires data use such as the play store, Facebook, reddit etc.... All say there is no internet connection and simply won't run.

Bootloader, how to tell if it's locked on nonrooted device

Hey guys, just recently had to unroot the S3 due to some minor hardware issues. I flashed the stock Rom and all with mobile Odin and was even able to update with the ota.
Is there a way to check to make sure the bootloader is locked without having to unroot again? Have a feeling I missed a step but just want to be sure.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Of the Samsung screen flashes by very quickly at boot then it means you are unlocked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you did a ota then your bootloader is locked iirc. Which version did you flash with odin? I think the F2 is the only version that doesnt relock but i could be wrong. But as suggested if the samsung logo goes away real quick at boot you are unlocked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I flashed the rom they had from stockrooms.net, so I'm guessing it was one of the first roms the S3 had. It seems like I'm locked since it did an OTA twice (one I manually allowed then another one automatically) and the Samsung logo doesn't just flash by.
As x714x posted, if you accepted an OTA then your bootloader is locked.

The HD stock build is the only one that wipes everything.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Just unlock again using EZ Unlock 1.2 to be safe. It will not hurt anything to unlock it if it is already unlocked.

N5 stopped working

I had my n5 for 2 weeks and when I tried to turn it in this morning it got stuck on boot. Anyone else had that problem? I contacted lg and I send it in for repair.

You mean stuck on the Google boot screen or the boot animation screen? Either way you could've fixed it using adb to restore to stock using factory image, the tool kit, or simply go to your recovery and wipe data/ factory reset. You didn't have to send it back to lg if you can still access fastboot and do any of the method above.

You had to start a new thread for this? Why not use the existing RMA thread?
Sent from my Nexus 5
Because I was mad and didn't think! That's why I opened a new thread sorry.
Just wanted to know if others had problems like it.
No I'm not a noob ,
My N5 was not rooted and will not be.
Thanks for the qualifying and unqualified answers.
