So, im new to android, i was tired of ios. I exchanged my iphone 4 for a Motorola razr xt910, but within a week after it started to bootloop. The phone boots up normaly and is usable for about 30 secs, then it shuts down and boots up again, on its own. I really love this phone its wayyyyy better than an iphone but that bootloop is pissing me off!:'(

Build Date: Thu Feb 23 17:33:40 BRST 2012
I dont know what to do! Please help me!
First off, have you done ANY modding of the phone (rooting, custom ROM, etc)? This doesn't usually cause a problem unless you flashed the incorrect ROM or you flashed a ROM and didn't wipe data/cache/dalvik.
First thing is you should probably go into stock recovery and do a data wipe. WARNING!!! This WILL wipe out all your contacts and apps and settings. Normally, I would suggest backing things up, but since you are rebooting every 30 seconds, you probably can't back anything up.
You can shut down the phone as follows by pressing and holding the volume down + volume up + power buttons together for 10 seconds. After that, your phone will shut down.
Next, press and hold the volume down + volume up + power buttons again for a few seconds. The phone should boot up into a menu with white letters. Using the volume down button, scroll until you've highlighted recovery. Press the volume up button and it will show you a picture of Andy. Press the volume up and volume down buttons to go into recovery mode.
Scroll down with the volume down button to highlight wipe data/factory reset. Press the power button. Scroll down to the "Yes" menu item and press the power button. This will do a factory reset, which will wipe out all your app settings and your contacts. Once done, go back to the main menu and select "reboot now" menu item and press power button.
Your phone will reboot and will go back to the activation screen and hopefully from there, things will work.
already did this for at least 20 times ive just try to fastboot it on another firmware and it still bootloops

But theres something wierd...when i go in the recovery menu and select BP HW Diag & Boot AP, the phone works perfectly! it wont charge the battery when its plugged in the wall charger tho, but still, and when i got back to nomral powerup, the bootloop comes back
My niece just got a Galaxy Player 4.2 yesterday and has already locked herself out of it its stuck on "Too Many Pattern Attempts" and because she never set it up with her gmail account she cant get access to it, i have tried holding down the power button + home button + volume up and it wont work, i can get it to odin download mode by holding power button + home button + volume down and thats about it. Any help will be really appreciated
well first off just turn it completely off then hold the power and volum up to get it into recovery and then go to advanced in the recovery and look for wipe dalvik cache then fix permissions in same menu then go back to main menu and hit reboot system now

This is my first post and I hope it will help you to fix the problem with wrong weather widget location.
I had this problem for a while.
I have tried all the potential solutions but nothing worked.
For those who do not want to root their phone and do not want to install other weather app for many reasons i will show you the best solution that worked for me and i hope it will help other people.
First of all, back up all your settings with Kies. -It is important because you will lose ALL your data if you do not.
After that disconnect the phone from usb and go to recovery mode (press Vol. UP + Home Button + Power Button until you see the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo)
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to wipe data/factory reset and press the Power Button
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to Yes -- delete all user data and press the Power Button
Once that procedure finished and you are in the main menu of recovery mode
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to wipe cache partition and press the Power Button.
Once that procedure finished and you are in the main menu of recovery mode
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to wipe data/factory reset and press the Power Button
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to Yes -- delete all user data and press the Power Button
Once that procedure finished and you are in the main menu of recovery mode
Using the Vol. Up/Down Button go to reboot system now and press the Power Button
Setup your phone as you did for first time
And then connect the phone to your PC using Kies to restore the backup that you did before.
It worked for me and I have no problem at all.
*** I haven’t try all this to other SG3 such as Sprint, Verizon or Rogers. I have tried this only to the International Version of SG3 ***
Say Thanks if that solution is working.
Hi,
as title says i'm stuck at android system recovery 3e. All I did was turning on the phone and it went straight into this recovery and stuck there. I tried all of the options there (apply update from cache, wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset,...) but nothing changed. I've searched and read forums about it and they suggested to go into download mode by pressing volume down button + camera button + power button and then use program called Odin. The problem is that i'm using Atheros XP7400 mobile phone and i have only volume down/up button and power button.
Any ideas how can I get into download mode?
Thanks for answers

Hey there!
Can you still access "download mode?" Download mode is accessed by holding down the volume decrease button and the home button.
Press the power button, volume decrease button and home button at the same time but letting go of the power button and keep pressing and holding the volume decease and home button while the download mode screen appears. you will know this when you see a green android and a "downloading now" screen.
NOTE: do you have a copy of t-mobile's stock firmware to re-install?
