Seems like the XT926 gives me nothing but trouble recently.
So, I had some market compatibility issues with my Maxx HD, and decided to risk the new root exploit for 4.1.2. (It worked spectacularly, thank you Dan.) I downloaded a root app called LCD Density Modder Pro. It had the option "fix market compatibility issues" so I ran that. It backed up the current market and Gapps and installed a modded version that would show even incompatible apps. I've used it on previous phones and it worked very well. But this time, when I rebooted, Gapps, Gmail, Play Store, and Youtube crashed sequentially over and over again. I went back to the Density Modder and restored the back up of the market and Gapps. Rebooted. Still, ANR pop ups appeared, same as before. Tried everything I could think of from restoring to wiping cache to a FDR: but after the FDR was finished and I did a reboot, after the Motorola logo disappeared, it would bootloop at the black screen immediately before where the usual "DROID" words would appear. I tried Razr Util to fastboot the stock firmware, but it kept giving me 'fail' notifications and claiming I was running 4.0.4 regularly. I even tried updating from the SD Card, FDR, the works. My phone still won't get past the Motorola logo.
Please, someone, help me out. I can't afford another device and I don't have a warranty. How do I get back to stock ANYTHING? If I can get out of the brick, I can fix it from there.
Thanks

Hi,
I'va had CM7 a10 flashed on my Sensation for a few days. A couple of days ago I've decided to get back to Stock ROM, and then the problems started. Before installing CM7 everything was fine. After restoring my backup from before flashing CM7 weird things started to happen (apps dissapearing, settings changing on their own, hangs, and other stuff). So I've done a SuperWipe a few times, and flashed a completely new Stock ROM via USB using: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed file. Then I've done a few factory resets, just in case. But still weird things are happening (eg. now I have a clean phone - once again - and trying to setup the sync options and the options app hangs everytime. and installing something from market is like praying for a miracle). I've tried doing factory reset, clear cache/dalvik (but with dalvik CWM recovery says that the partition or files wasn't found). Don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas ?? Please help. Phone worked fine before, and after CM7 everything is f*cked up
Wierd, looks like you've tried everything I could think of while reading the post.
Do you still have a nandroid backup of CM7, if so does that work if you restore ?
Can you use ADB to get to the phone ? If so you could check some things from there.
When you installed the RUU from the PC, did it install without errors ? Presumably you had to re-install CWM after that.
CM7 nand backup works fine after restore.
I can use ADB to comunicate with the phone.
No errors while updating RUU.exe / CWM recovery flashed without problems also after that.
I think that there's something screwed up with the file permissions.
I've downloaded and installed about 20 apps since the last HR, and now I have about 40 apps more queued in Market, and as before the downloads are stuck every 1-2 apps. Then I have to restart to CWM recovery and run fix permissions. After that another 1-2 apps will download and get stuck again, and so on...
Anyone has any ideas what the hell is going on ? Because my I'm getting more then irritated by this, and beggining to think that the best solution will be to send my phone flying through the window.
A few questions first.
What country are you in?
Who is your carrier?
What version did your phone originally come with? I believe 1.5xxxxx RUU was released recently, but I could be wrong.
Did you ever change your CID?
Have you ever flashed a new radio and RIL?
Did you copy all of the data from your SD card to your computer, then format your SD card using the phone?
Answer these questions and try the SD card thing, then report back. I may be able to help.
Poland.
T-Mobile (Sensation) / Play Mobile (Gio)
Don't remeber what version my Sensation originally came with - I have a 1.50.401.1 RUU that I'm flashing with currently.
Yes, I've changed CID to 11111111 some time ago, but I'm back to original HTC__001 now.
No I haven't changed my radio or RIL.
I've tried formatting the SD card using the phone, my laptop, my linux NAS, my other phones.
The weird thing is that yesterday all of this was progressing. It came to a point that after a factory reset or even a whole ROM reflash nothing would install (not even Market update). And this also started to happen on my Samsung Gio. So after very very very frustrating evening, and part of the night I gave up. And in the morning it was still the same (on both my android phones). But now things are starting to work (updates/installs). So I think I'm going to blame the whole thing on Google and Market. I'll see what happens while I'll install all my apps in the next few hours.
Still have to restart the phone every 1-3 apps installed. This is driving me crazy
Basically I have bought a xoom MZ604 UK off ebay that had reboot issues. I assumed it was due to software issues, I am now unsure. When it came it would stay on, but when you tried browsing, watching a film or on Youtube it would reboot after around 3mins.
I installed EOS 3 stable and the xoom would reboot within around 1 min if that, sometimes as soon as booted.
So I installed CM10, now it will last around 7-8mins without a reboot(with use). I'm sure it must be a software issue now, although obviously I could be wrong and would like an opinion on what to do next?
Any help will be much appreciated as I would love to give this my son as a crimbo present.
Thanks.
I think I have now bricked it? I did a system restore with TWRP and I didn't make a nandroid backup. I tried to install the zip I had saved on SD card and it would allow it, so I tried to reboot the system and I got a error message about there not being a OS on the system.
Is there anyway to unbrick, or have I well and truly knackered it?
I reluctantly took the OTA to 4.1.2 on my Verizon Droid RAZR MAXX HD. The phone runs fine. I haven't had any noticeable issues with signal strength, battery life or anything that other people have been mentioning. What has been happening though, is it will randomly freeze then after a few seconds reboot.
My first thought was to do a factory reset which I did twice. Little to no improvement.
After I unlocked my bootloader, I installed the TWRP recovery. None of the modified 4.1.2 ROMs meant for Safestrap would properly flash.
I then used AD Fastboot to completely a Flash a new image of the firmware, back to stock recovery and everything. I couldn't go back to 4.1.1 so I flashed 4.1.2 hoping that the problem was in a corrupt file. Still rebooting.
Finally I flashed an Image of a mdofified firmware with the DST ROM, TWRP and a few other improvements baked into the firmware. It's rebooting less often now, but it's still rebooting. The reboots don't seem to be linked to a specific application, which makes me think it's some sort of background process, but every process I recognize as unneeded hasn't stopped the rebooting even when force stopped.
As anyone else having any problems like this? I don't feel that it's a hardware issue as the phone worked flawlessly on 4.0 and 4.1.1. Any suggestions?
So my situation is similar... sorta.
Stock non-rooted phone. Its my wife's phone.. Every since the 4.1.2 Update her phone constantly randomly reboots.
In safe Mode it seems to work fine so that led me to believe it was an application.
So Out of safe mode I removed EVERYTHING it'd let me remove.. Still Rebooted.
Factory Reset... Still reboots.
Then I Used RSD lite and Loaded the Firmware back onto it Manually. STILL reboots.
Any Ideas would be appreciated..

I hadn't tried safe mode. If that is the case, then maybe it's an issue with a system service and the kernel? I feel that if that were the case there'd be more people having the problem though. The only other thing I could think of is maybe an issue with the new radio firmware? Do you know if safe-mode disables the radios?
just got my brand new HD today and after a few hours let it OTA to 4.1.2, and have experienced the random freezes and reboots since upgrading... like the OP I've tried freezing/disabling everything in turn trying to figure out the culprit and found none... however I've noticed it does not happen that much, if at all, if the phone is sitting idle, however happens much more frequently only when I'm listening to music through Poweramp if that helps at all

I had the exact same problem as you guys, and the issue was that somehow, I had accidentally gotten the stock 4.0.4 sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, and rpm partitions mixed in with my 4.1.2 installation. After fastbooting stock 4.1.2 everything, my phone worked without a hitch. And like you said anoninja118, it rebooted more often when I was listening to music. I would suggest trying to fastboot stock 4.1.2 again, and put nothing on it, make sure it works, and then experiment with putting on applications. sammyboy405 and AtrusNex, when you fastbooted, was it working fine until you started loading applications onto it?

Not really any difference between no installed programs, so I'm guessing it's something in the Motorola or system applications. I've been noticing that it seems more likely to reboot during media streaming. Currently testing the phone in my free time to see if I can trace the issue.
Got fet up with it enough I just called Verizon and did a warranty replacement. They shipped one overnight. And wife hasn't had a reboot/freeze yet. So I suspect there was a hardware issue causing the issues.
All seems well so far.
I just got a recertified device and am having the same issues. Seems connected to music. It only happens when I'm using Spotify or Pandora. Also appears others are having a similar reaction with music apps.

I'm confounded as to finding hte source of the problem. Every application I've checked, that isn't a main Android service seems to be working fine and doesn't stop the reboots when disabled. I guess I can only hope the problem is remedied with a newer issued kernel or the Cyanogenmod kernel.
its definitely music related, only happens during playback through headphones or phone speaker while playing music... doesn't matter if its streamed or local from SD card... strangely enough it plays fine through bluetooth but I'm rooting and putting CM on this thing as soon as it charges before I throw it at the wall, its sooooooo freaking annoying

Installing Cyanogenmod 10.1 seemed to fix my problem. I'm guessing the AOSP based kernel fixed whatever issue existed within the Verizon 4.1.2 kernel. You might try the same and see how it works out.

Hi, I'm having the same issues. Now my phone is stuck in a factory reset. It goes to the Android Robot with the spinning symbol in his chest, and stays there. I can get into Fastboot mode, and did try flashing what I thought was the correct file. But I keep getting a "Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (getvar)" Where did you get the file that you flashed in RSDLite?

You have the right file.. but you need to edit the XML file in it.. inside it there are 2 or 3 lines with the getvar command.. delete those lines.. save it and bam.. should work fine.

Okay, so here's my question. Do I delete the whole line or just getvar? Do I delete this whole line? I believe it's in there twice.
"<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />"
---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------
Ok, so I went ahead and deleted the whole line and moved it up so there wasn't any space between lines. I tried flashing the file, and now I'm getting another fail. It says "Failed flashing process. 1/27 flash sbl1 "sbl1.mbn" -> USB error occurred while reading/writing" What do I do next?
Hey Xda Devs. This is my first post to this wonderful site. (sorry if in wrong area)
Back to related topic....
I own a Samsung Galaxy SIII - (SCH-I535)
About Three or Four days ago I was sick of using my Cyanogenmod 10. And I decided to do a Factory Restore on it. (Got sick of short battery life and terrible reception)
While doing this it was great (still rooted and running cyanogenmod). Then I got a little stupid and decided I didn't want any Google search in/on my device. So I went and deleted most the apps associated with it. NOT KNOWING it would disrupt my Data / Wi-Fi / and Play Store. (Google store has Unexpectedly Stopped)
So like an idiot, I factory restored AGAIN thinking "maybe it will just go away"
No....
In fact did the inevitable and decided to take out Clockwork Mod and anything else in my SD card thinking maybe that was the reason.
(At this time it was still working ((Send/Receive Calls, Text, and Pics.))) But no data.
Then while on my break at work I put my phone into Clockwork (somehow it was still in my phone) unknowingly I seen a backup. So like any noob I went and clicked Wipe Cache + everything else then prompted with a Recovery.... Well that only made matters WAY worse....
I now sit with a phone that no matter what I do, I can only get into ODIN mode but if left to boot it shows an UNLOCKED Custom Samsung screen but sent to "System software no authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please....ETC"
I have tried to flash the same way I did but no luck. I tried stock ROM. ODIN always says RESET!!! But does nothing after like it’s just a paperweight now.
I somehow now instead of having 1 custom binary download me have 3....
Everything else says CUSTOM
And Qualcomm secure boot says ENABLE
I’ve been looking for a way to bring it back to just stock ROM.... but no luck on any form, site, or anything!
PLEASE HELP! im sick of using my Droid RAZR M
Ok, I'm having some major issues here and hope someone can help. I seem to be "soft-bricked." My Maxx will boot up, gets to the droid graphic (right before it normally gets to the unlock screen), screen dims and capacitive buttons light up, then it just pulses brighter every 10 seconds or so. Once, after sitting for a while, a voice said "Loss of service."
History:
1. Was rooted, unrooted to get the OTA, re-rooted. Everything was fine.
2. Got tired of the wireless charging sound, so I applied the fix noted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450085&page=3
3. Also had Xposed installed with NFCUnlock and GravityBox.
4. Was running into issues with apps randomly losing root access, and the wireless charging sound would come back, so I downgraded Xposed to the previous version as recommended in another thread.
5. Also was using DelayedUnlock app, so I disabled USB Debugging as recommended.
6. Still faced issues with apps losing root access, so I decided to restore the apk I replaced in #2 with the backup I made. Rebooted phone and am soft-bricked (I guess).
7. Downloaded the latest FXZ (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/obake/list.php) and used HouseofMoto (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450702) to flash it, no help. Deleted the <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" /> line as recommended in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416478&page=6) and flashed again, still doesn't work.
I posted this in another thread in General, but was afraid it would get lost in the thread and wasn't sure that thread was appropriate for my request for help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Nevermind, impatience got the best of me and I factory reset my phone, so I'm back up and running again. Hated to do it as I didn't want to lose all my stuff, but hopefully I can get it re-rooted and restore my TB backups. A little worried about re-rooting, though.

Just in case anyone else has similar issues and reads this, I believe after trial and error I found the culprit. The DelayedLock app seems to be the issue causing my brick. Will be avoiding this paid app, sure wish I could get a refund on it.
