Hello everyone, I'm new here, and noticed no topics on developing roms for the android based SiriusXM Lynx, From what I understand, it runs on Froyo. For those of you unaware, it is a Satellite/wifi/bluetooth radio, but has android under it. A friend of mine discovered the recovery menu on his Radio today, and posted some pics.
(I would post these pics here, but I am unable to right now since I am new)
Anyone think this thing can get a custom Rom on this to run a regular version of android, or any neat tricks to play on this little device? my aplolgies if this is not the right place to put this thread, just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this? thanks again guys.

As a side note, I can boot into recovery, but it is stock android recovery 3e, so if someone has a lead on how to get a custom boot loader or recovery on it. If needed I can give kernel, software version, etc. I just need help getting started...thanks

Still the looking for help...
I am generally aloof when it comes to a lot of how this stuff works, but is there any danger/luck in trying to unlock the boot loader or change recovery via methods/updates for other, similar hardware? Thanks..

Not sure if anyone has done anything with this device yet. I just updated mine today and it has a web browser now, unless it had it before and I just missed it.
Anyone have any new info on this?
Help with siriusxm lynx
I need to root my siriusxm lynx. If any body knows how to do this. Please send me some help. (updating via wifi it was some kind of error and it doesn´t work any more.
lynx stuck in update boot loop
just to bump this thread into this year...
I have a SiriusXm SXi1 (Lynx) that was performing an update and powered off and is now stuck in a bootloop. When powered on, it says "updating lynx software", gets to about 40% then says "ERROR" and power cycles each time.
I was told that holding left volume while powering up should put you into bootloader mode but this doesn't work. Can anyone confirm that this is correct? If i can get into bootloader does anyone have a firmware that i can use adb and fastboot or the SDcard to flash it?
Thanks!
To get into the bootloader, hold down the left volume button, the home softkey and the power button at the same time.
I'm having issues with my Lynx and would like to at the very least reload the stock rom and see if that clears it up but haven't found one anywhere yet. Anyone have one they would be willing to upload?

I have what I think is an unusual booting splash screen. It is the first thing to show up after turning on.
I also booted in to the Odin menu just to see the status and took a picture of that.
I just got my phone today and have done nothing other than install normal applications, I haven't tried to root or flash anything.
I watched a video of some other verizon SGS3 owner turning on their device and that unlocked lock icon and custom do not appear.
Anyone know what this means?

You will probably get a better response if you post this in Q&A. I don't know the answer to your question though. I am curious what they answer is.
it comes up once you've flashed something using odin
if you'll notice on the third image, next to "SYSTEM STATUS:" it says "Custom" this means something other than something official has been flashed to it
i'd really like to know how you did this
me too
Like I said, I haven't done anything. I have actually not even plugged it into my computer yet via usb cable.
Maybe it came rooted

Its not rooted
I suspected that and tried to just download superSU and it doesn't work, says phone isn't rooted.
Assuming you bought yours brand new from the store, I'd go back. But first I'd try removing the microsd card and booting up. Then try the SIM card, then boot up again. If its still the same, something is up with your device. It keeps booting up into download mode. :S
I don't think he was saying it boots into DL mode on its own, just that he went into DL mode to confirm he's not running anything custom, which it appears he is not.
Strange that it would show the custom boot image when you're running the official ROM. I don't know that that's a bad thing, or that it's worth returning the phone. Might be worth calling Verizon and talking to them about it. At the least you then have a record that your phone was doing that from the beginning, so if you have to return it later on after installing custom ROMs, you can say it was always like that

Please please don't return to VZW. See if a dev can help you to get dump. You could be holding the key to save tens of thousands of us.
This is very interesting. Subscribing to thread!
Although yours isn't rooted and perhaps not unlocked, the devs can check out what's different in your device through a dump and it could assist them in achieving root and unlocking the bootloader. I don't really know a whole lot about developing, so maybe that's not possible

My son was trying to put a different ROM on his phone and about half way through it crashed. The phone now just keeps rebooting.
Tried the Power on / Vol down to try to get to android recovery, but it just goes blank. All other options cause the phone to just reboot and I try again (like a fool).
Is there any hope for me to get this phone working or is it now a paperweight?
Let me know if you need more information. I will provide what I know.
Thanks,

Sounds like a bootloop. Did you look here?
I've had this happen when I attempted to flash my Atrix with the battery less.than 50%.charged. I was able to get it to boot up (after flashing 2.3.4 sbf via RSD) but it just rebooted itself every 2 mins. My warranty was up but, I went on Motorola's website and after using their troubleshooter, they gave me a reference number and address to mail in my device for repair. In about a week I got the phone back. I think they gave me a different device because I can now run 1.6 GHz OC kernels without my phone overheating. Good luck......

Hey guys İ decided to flash a custom ROM -[i9100G] JB XWLSW NeatROM- to my Galaxy S2 i1900 because since İ have bought an an HTC One and İ want to have some fun with the S2 now. Btw this is my first attempt on rooting and flashing my phone so İ am quite a noob.
Anyway so İ rooted the phone with no problems and backed it up too but after flashing it is now stuck at boot screen with Samsung logo and the yellow triangle. İ know i've flashed the wrong ROM because my one isn't a i1900G, unfortunately İ have realized it too late, İ have tried to access recovery but no luck, same with the download mode.
Do İ have a brick in my hand now? Any solutions?
Any help is much appreciated.
Sent from my HTC One
First question.....are you sure you're trying to access recovery with the correct button combination? It's different from HTC.......
For recovery.....
Volume up, power and home button together......then release ONLY the power button when Samsung screen appears.
For Download.....
Volume down, power and home buttons together.....then release ONLY the power button when Samsung screen appears, then finally volume up.....
BTW...signs of a brick.....
No recovery
No download
No signs of life when you boot the phone
No charging indication (flashing battery image) when you plug the charger in
Phone gets warm/hot just below the main camera when phone on charge.
IMO.....you don't have a brick.....yet

Keith is correct, make sure you're using the correct button combos. If using those combos doesn't work as he said, click the link in my signature and then go to the section 'no download mode' and try the things listed there. There's a few things to try.
And Keith, how've you been mate? Long time no see!

Hey guys I have managed to fix it. It was apparently a soft brick as what the guy said on a video I watched on YouTube who is demonstrating a recovery, my bad I'm still new to all this root/custom ROM stuff, I managed to get into download mode, I was obviously doing something wrong.
I basically just downloaded the official stock firmware and went through the ODIN steps in the Download Mode and viola! I rooted the phone again and flashed the Paranoid Android 3 ROM which I am absolutely delighted with. But thanks for all replies anyway.
So in other words you got in a panic for no reason ? (If you'd done your homework before you started messing around with stuff, you would have known the situation you found yourself in was almost always easily recoverable).
Yes it's fair to say i panicked for no reason. I followed all the steps and everything but just didn't notice that the ROM I tried to flash was for i19100G. Other than that I rooted and flashed Paranoid Android with ease, but yeah I guess I need to be extra careful...
Hi all, I have tried to unlock my galaxy S3 gt i 9300, which is locked to O2 UK. I live in Ireland and bought the phone from a guy on e bay. I got the unlock code from two different sources and both are the same, but neither will unlock the phone, I have tried the unfreeze code too but it gets me nowhere. Entering the keyboard codes does not work either. The firmware baseband version which is on the phone at present is I9300XXUGMK6, the build number is JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5, I feel that if I can get the phone back to it's original O2 UK firmware then I might be able to unlock the thing. My problem is that I have found I9300XXALE8_I9300O2UALE5_O2U to be the original firmware, but the link to it from every site is dead and I cannot download it, all the links were to hotfile and we all know what became of it. If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I might unlock my phone then I would be more than happy to try them.
Best wishes Wez
Flash the latest o2u, root it with cf autoroot, nvdata unlock method. Do not attempt to go back from 4.3 as you will half cabbage your phone. The efs changed.

At the risk of sound stupid, I am going to ask one question, where do I find said latest stock ROM for my O2 UK S3, because all the ones I find are not on any link that works, they nearly all try to send me to hotfile, would seem that nobody has taken the trouble to put up any mirror download links, which has left me very frustrated. Hope someone can please point me in the right direction, because I have a phone which is of no use to me.

Many thanks to all who helped with my problem, I managed to get my s3 unlocked, just need to get it rooted now and get rid of the stupid thing keeps going to safe mode when booted normally, but if I boot whilst holding the home key (the middle one at the bottom) then the phone will try to boot into download mode, I then hit the volume down button and hole the home key again, this time the phone reboots itself and will boot into a non safe mode. Though this is not ideal and someone needs to find a cure for this, it is better than nothing. Tried to flash the resurrection remix ROM, but it stopped when a bit was done and failed will try some other custom ROM when I get the chance, at the moment my phone is keeping going back to the recovery screen.
Will let you know what happens, best wishes Wez

To get out of the recovery boot lock I had to leave the phone with the battery out of it for about 5 minutes, I was then able to get into download mode, by booting with the volumes down and home buttons held. I then used Odin to reflash the stock firmware again, which it did OK.Then I needed to root the phone again so I did that. I then downloaded the Android Revolution DH-SGS3, moved it to the external SD card, rebooted into recovery and flashed it to the phone, but again the phone went into it's crazy recovery boot loop, at the moment I have the battery out of kit and will try replacing it now and booting into the new ROM. It appears to be booting into the rom now, it has been on the Samsung screen for a while now and I am hoping that it will boot into the rom given a little time, this being it's first boot. OK all booted up OK, the only problem that remains is the bleeding thing booting into safe mode, but lots of people have got that.
Happy days, best wishes Wez
I have never encountered that issue before. When exactly did the boot issue start?

The boot issue started after I had tried to flash with another rim, which I feel was not fully downloaded, at any rate the flash was abandoned and when I went back through the options and hit the reboot now, it went into the loop. I had to remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes, less might have done, when I reinstalled the battery, I went into download and using Odin flashed the phone with a stock rom and rooted it, then I flashed the android revelation rom, the phone again got stuck on the loop, this time I took the battery out the phone and left it, again for about 5 minutes, then replaced the battery and hit the power button and the phone booted into the rom, after a few minutes. I have been using this rom for a while now, but have noticed that for some reason the sound, for everything goes of completely, nit found a cure for that yet, but I am downloading the Echoe rom now, it will soon be finished, and I am going to flash it as soon as I can. I have the Echoe rom on my SGS4 and like it very much. I shall let you know if I have the same problem with this rom, when I flash it, the loop that is.

The Echoe ROM flashed without any further loop and to my surprise the phone did not boot into safe mode, so an improvement there, with both. But the sound is still a problem. I have since the first boot had to reboot several times and the damned thing is back to the bloody safe mode. To get round it now I have to hold the volume down, the home and power keys, to take me to the screen for download, when there I push the volume down and the phone goes to reboot, in it's own, while it is doing that I hold the home button, the phones boots without going into safe mode. I have tried to do it the way I was before, but it is not working that way now, so got to go down the way of booting into the download screen, but at least it works.
Very best wishes and good luck Wez
Interesting.. it would seem that the issue lies with custom roms. Which recovery are you using? Cwm 6032 is a good recovery to start with, moving on to 6047. I had issues with twrp.

And now it gets stuck on the loading screen (does not reboot just stays on loading screen) and goes no further :/ I can find no information on a hard reset at all which is getting me a bit concerned.
I was hoping someone might be able to suggest or point me in the right direction of something I can try to fix this?
