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!:'(

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

Can someone please set out in easy to follow steps how I can safely reset my Streak 5 to a factory fresh state.
Many thanks!
go to Settings - Privacy - Factory data reset and push Reset phone.
Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up. When Dell logo appears, release power button but continue pressing vol up and vol down. Then, you'll see a menu, and there is FACTORY RESET.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

In reply to my question on factory reset you said 'Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up.'
What do you mean by 'and turn ir up?'
He meant to say "turn it on".
Turn the Streak off.
While holding down the volume up and volume down buttons, press and hold the power button until the Dell logo appears.
Release the power button, but continue holding the volume buttons until Dell's recovery menu appears on the screen.
Using the volume buttons, select option 1, factory reset, then press the camera button.
Follow the instructions on the screen to reset.
Note: this this requires a stock recovery image to work. If the device has Streakmod Recovery or Clockworkmod, replace them with a stock recovery image before attempting to reset.
My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that

thanks for the help it worked
i now have a new problem. i am trying to root my phone again but oneclick does not detect my phone
Do you have USB debugging turned on?
i feel dumb, i completely forgot to do that.
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.
(sorry about my chinglish )
So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot
Don't think there's a way..
And you should be glad because if it was possible anyone could break into your device.
P.S.
chinglish - like!

yeah........I see, so how can I clean everything, the recovery is dead and I didn't turn the debugging mode on
Right from Google:
1.If your tablet is on, power it off.
2.Press and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down at the same time for several seconds. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice, until you see the option Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the Volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

Fastboot
You can use Fastboot without USB Debugging enabled.
"To use fastboot, power off, then hold down the power button and both volume buttons. That will take you to the bootloader screen where you, or the toolkit, can do fastboot commands."
I've attached a CWM Recovery image for your device.
Place it somewhere on your computer and open the Terminal application on your computer. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <image location>
Then you can backup /data using advanced backup, perform a factory reset, CREATE A FULL BACKUP, then restore /data using advanced restore.
I am stuck in the recovery mode "FACTORY MODE" in my phone. I've enter in the recovery menu (power + volume up down) then I enter Factory Mode, then Item Test. And in this item test I don't have an option to return to previous menu tree, my phone only have UP, DOWN and POWER buttons, and none of them goes back to initial menu. Also the battery is non user replaceable, so I'm completely stuck in this screen. It's a motorola razr D3 XT920. I'm going nut's.
long press on power should do the trick.
wait about 10 sec's
