So I recently updated using ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803 ) this guide which worked perfectly. Upon trying to restore from my titanium backups it got stuck while restoring my text messages. I stopped the process which froze my phone. Upon restarting all my buttons besides power would not work, except the home button would work to wake the screen. It was like this the next 5 times I restarted untill I restarted again and I kept getting a "Process System is not Responding" with a wait or close prompt. After hitting the wait prompt a couple times I hit close which took me to a blank (read: black) screen with nothing but the lock screen call icon on it. Trying to restart my phone in recovery mode was a fail because I accidently started it in Download mode. I held power until the device restarted and now everything works again. I was just wondering if anyone knew what I had done because I have no idea. Thanks.

I haveS4 (i9505) that had the rom foxhound 2.0 on it.
I later decided to install the Google Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272) on it.
When installing it I should have wiped data and cache but I accidentally used TWRP's "Format Data" function which deleted everything.
I had to use Odin to put back the original samsung software.
After this I installed the Google Edition the correct way.
When it booted up it said: "encryption unsuccessful" with a button "factory reset" which I pressed.
This took me to the recovery mode which also gave me an error (don't remember what it said).
So i used Odin yet again to put TWRP on it so I could factory reset the phone.
I used the phone for like 1 day but then strange things started to happen.
The phone just froze. Not like a normal freeze where everything stops, but where loading-animations still works and everything else stops working.
So I restarted the phone and it happened again and again and again. From like a few seconds to a few minutes the phone froze or rebooted.
The strange thing is that the same thing happens in recovery (TWRP), the same kind of freeze as described above.
And sometimes the phone refuses to turn on at all. Doesn't help to press all buttons, even holing the powerbutton for 1 minute doesn't help.
I have found out that when this happens I can disconnect the battery and reconnect it after some time to get it to start up again for a short time.
I've tried three different versions of TWRP, and also the original samsung firmware with the same result using Odin.
During all this I also had some problem with my SD-card. Files on it got corrupted and sometimes when i copied files over to it i didn't allow it to happen.
Anyone got any tips on what is going on/what i should do?
I used this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&page=85
I've tried this twice. I think i wiped too much from twrp when i wanted to wipe my phone to install a rom. I was stuck in lg logo screen and used this method. when the phone boots up, my previous rom and settings are intact except i see process "com.android.phone has stopped" followed by bunch of more proccesses that have stopped and it just keep rebooting after i click ok few times on those error messages.
I've used this before and it always installed fresh image. not sure why or how its managed to install my old rom back minus the android processes. I cant do the factory reset from settings either inbetween error messages because the phone reboots too fast.
do you know any other way to factory reset? My phone pretty much loops as soon as the android process has stopped error messages run for about 20 seconds in home screen.
found a solution.
press and hold volume down + power then at LG logo let go of both and press and hold again. at wipe data screen, press power twice and it will boot TWRP/CWM recovery. provided u have it installed
Ever since receiving an OTA update a few days ago, my phone was never able to successfully reboot again. Instead, it does exactly this when I turn it on: Samsung logo appears when booting, then the At&t logo with the word "installing..." or "updating..." along with a loading bar at the bottom appears. The loading bar reaches 100%, but then it will say "update failed", and it reboots and the same process happens again. I've let the phone run on it's own for several ours to see if it'll ever snap out of the loop, but it just stays in the same never-ending cycle of constant rebooting and updating. My phone wasn't rooted and worked perfectly fine before the update, so I suspect something went wrong while it was updating. I tried pressing the home, volume, and power buttons in attempt to initiate a recovery boot and do a factory-reset, but nothing happens. And I've tried replacing the battery, SIM card, and micro SD card, but there's still no change. I still am, however, able to set it in ODIN mode, but I'm not sure what to do since I'm not techie/literate. Please help, I don't know how to get my phone properly working again.
hi...
I'm really desperate, my phone is suddenly dying and I have no idea why, I'll tell you from yesterday what has happened:
- I'm playing a stupid game and suddenly the screen goes black. No led, phone doesn't answer any button, nothing. I hold power button, nothing. Remove battery and put again, nothing. After some attempts phone turns on, but just after starting it reboots or stays frozen.
- I decide to change the rom (I had simpl rom), so I do a full wipe and put CM 12. It seems it works, but when I'm in the settings, at the beggining, I don't even have time to put the wifi, it starts rebooting again and/or not responding.
- Desperated, I install via odin the stock firmware from Sam Mobile. It seems it's gonna work, but when the dialog of "Android is upgrading -- Optimazitating app x of XX" it always gets stucked in a number, randomly. I never get to the 230 apps.
- As a last chance, I try Kies to install factory firmware. The same as before happens, but now it's only 17 the number of apps it tries to optimize.
These last 2 times, of course, I enter recovery from time to time (now the default one) and wipe cache partition.
My phone is agonizing, what the f is happening? Does anybody know what could happen?
Please help...
I have a stock moto x play whose hardware sku is XT1564. It's on android ver 5.1.1 and system version is 23.21.25.lux_lra.en.US
I have not performed any soft mods or alterations, be it root or bl unlocking.
The only thing that I would think is different than normal is that the phone is encrypted, so it asks for password whenever it boots up.
I got a notification to update to 24.74.5.en.US a few days ago and decided to try doing it today.
It downloads the update fine and when I press on the notification for it to start the update process where it says it needs to perform a reboot to update it goes into a "phone will reboot in 10 seconds" screen and when countdown finished it shows the "shutting down..." popup that appreas when you try to shutdown the phone.
Then the phone stays with that popup until it finally shutsdown like 4 minutes later on what appears to be a hard shutdown because it doesn't reboot. I have to manually power it on and then the phone starts up normally asks me for my password and about a minute after android fully loads the phone tries to shutdown again without any input. And then it just keeps doing that until I boot the phone into fastboot and try to get it to bootloader, where it shows the dead android logo with a red yield sign and promptly shutsdown. Then when I start the phone normally it shows an "update unsuccessful" screen.
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
I've been thinking it might be the encryption but IDK. Also I've checked the thread with the firmware versions and couldn't find mine there. Is there a way I could dump mine for backup in case I **** something up trying to get OTA to work.(without unlocking bootloader and rooting, of course)
Now the update has stopped appearing and I can't get it to recognize there being an update for this device.
Fudge!
