I have a rooted Verizon Wireless Galaxy S3, for reference. So today I decided to attempt to install Cyanogenmod and searched for something to install it on my phone. I found Rom Manager on the Play Store and installed it, and went into it. I installed Clockworkmod and flashed it, and everything went reasonably well until I rebooted my phone. At this point, it automatically booted into Recovery Mode, or at least tried to. What it really did was display the screen with the Samsung logo and "RECOVERY BOOTING....." at the top in blue letters. Then, it shows a screen with a yellow warning triangle, which gave me the "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone" message, saying "SECURE FAIL:KERNEL" at the top. Now, after a bit of searching, I had found that I should flash a factory image, so I connected my phone to my computer, and that's when the strange stuff began. First, my phone started vibrating approximately once every second for a short amount of time(about 0.1 second) and my computer wasn't detecting it. When I tried to turn my phone on, it just displayed the normal first boot screen and then nothing else happened, and it went back to a black screen.
I've looked all over the place, but I can't find anyone that has encountered my problems and I have no idea how to proceed.
Hi,
Rom Manager has been known to cause some bad issues, I don't recommend anyone use it.
That said, you'll need to ask for help in your device section, here...

Good luck!

Were you on either of the locked bootloaders of 4.3 or 4.4.2? If so your issues lies there to begin with. No custom recovery other than safestrap will work with the locked bootloaders. Your lucky you didn't hard brick it

Well, can I somehow get my phone into working order? Because it's as good as bricked right now.
Hi,
Not sure why this happened, but while charging my tablet (galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8013 2013 edition) the tablet flashed and rebooted itself without user interaction. Upon reboot it froze on the samsung splash screen, so i pressed and held in the power button until the device restarted. When it did restart it no longer showed the splash screen, just squiggly lines thru the screen and it sits there unresponsive. I can boot the device into download (odin) mode, it shows that there is no custom binary download, shows the current binary is samsung official, but it says system status is custom, which is odd because i have never attempted to flash a custom rom nor have i tried to root this device.
i proceeded to install odin on my laptop and downloaded the factory binary from sammobile. I loaded everything up (as per the directions) but it fails, says there is no PIT partition. Im not sure where to go from here, i contacted samsung, but they are useless, says they cant help because the device is out of warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanx in advance.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1 which would be a good starting place.

Good luck!
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S5, stock and rooted. Today, I used Kies to update to the latest G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch. That worked fine with no issue, but it did clear my root. No problem. So then I used the tutorial on this site:
http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2015/02/root-g900tuvu1dob1-android-50-stock.html
to try to re-obtain root. (This was the tutorial I used previously and it worked fine.) However, this time, at the end, after Odin said "PASS" and the phone rebooted, it got stuck on the Samsung logo screen, and it will not go past it. I have gone into recovery and cleared the cache and done a factory wipe/reset, but it still gets stuck on the logo screen.
[Edit:] I am adding that after a long time of showing the Samsung logo screen (not sure how long), it does switch over to the white T-Mobile logo screen. Then that screen stays for a long time. I gave up and pulled battery to start over, but now it's doing it all over again.
[Edit 2:] I also want to add that the Samsung logo screen it is stuck on is not the colorful one, but the static black&white one, with "Powered by Android" at the bottom. In case that matters.
I can't figure out what to do next. I'm wary of following a tutorial on the web now, for fear it will be incorrect and do more damage.
What I want is to get past this, and end up with my phone on the new G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch, stock, and rooted.
Thank you,
Chris
Ok, I was able to flash stock G900TUVS1FOJ4, so my phone is no longer stuck, and I'm on the latest stock, but unrooted.
Now I am having trouble finding how to safely root it without doing the same thing again.
Any instructions out there for safely rooting this version?

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just want some help as I'm almost out of ideas.
So, the thing is that I have a rooted Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580 that was working perfectly up until 2 days ago, when it crashed while watching an ad in a game, and I had to take out the battery as the whole phone was frozen for a long time. After restarting the phone, I noticed a weird behaviour that no apps started up, no matter which one I tapped, and I could barely get into settings and so on either.
I tried restarting afterwards, but the phone couldn't even turn off, and just stayed on a grey screen, while both hardware buttons were light up. This state remained indefinitely, while the phone randomly vibrated at times for a second. I restarted and pulled the battery multiple times, but the apps were still not working and the same issue remained.
What I did afterwards was to try to factory reset and reset cache the phone from recovery mode, which was cwm recovery. Then as the phone was about to reboot, it got stuck on the Samsung Logo with the phone name, and couldn't move on from it. I tried reflashing ROMs and recovery modes since then, but it always stays on the boot screen. I can't even enter recovery mode anymore either, as it just keeps being stuck on the boot logo. I can enter download mode though, and Odin knows my phone is there, but for examples Samsung Kies can't connect to it.
I thought maybe flashing a ROM in Odin along with the additional files such as BL, AP, CP and CSC and PIT could help, but I'm not sure if I should do that yet, especially because I couldn't find all of those correct files for my region so far. So I'm asking for help here. Thank you if you have any useful insight to my issue!

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
There's no dedicated forum for your device here in XDA. Try posting your query in Android Q&A,Help and Troubleshooting or in one of the noob friendly Q&A thread here->[Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] .Experts there may be able to help you
Good luck.
I have been having problems with my phone for weeks, to the point where I thought I would need a new phone (and many people commented this same belief). I managed to find ways to work around the problems. But now, I have a serious problem that I did not foresee: my phone will not reboot, even after a factory reset and clearing the cache partition. It all started because I installed an app called "Boot Animations" by JRummy Apps Inc. on the Play Store. I wanted a new boot animation. I installed the animation I wanted, then granted the app root permission to change my boot animation. I checked "yes" to creating a backup of my original animation, thinking that would be my safety net in case anything went wrong...
I rebooted my phone to see my fancy new Nexus inspired boot animation, and all I get is a black screen...for an hour. I figured a factory reset would fix things, but it didn't. My phone is still stuck at the black screen. After a few minutes of black screen, it turns white, and stays like that. But it doesn't go any farther than that white screen. I'm not even getting a carrier logo.
I'm hesitant to say my phone is ruined, since that's what I, and several other people, said about my previous phone issues, but those problems ended up being fixable. I would like to think that there is also some work-around for this new issue. I have an Alcatel One Touch Sonic A851L, running android 4.1.2. It's rooted. There is no stock firmware available for me to re-flash (I have looked for it everywhere and asked my service provider for it, and they could not provide the firmware). When I plug my phone into my computer, it says "CD Drive (H: )Alcatel_USB_auto", and the folders are "autorun", "driverinstaller', and "setup". No file access.
Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?
