I used Amaze - all in one kit 5.2 by Hasoon 2000. It did not go well on first run through. Was all good, got my unlock code and bootloader unlocked. Next, Permroot was supposed to push SuperSU.zip into sd card and boot back into Recovery, it didn't boot back into Recovery. I tried a redo, no go, when booting into Recovery, I got the green arrowed circle with another arrow in the middle, then a red triangle. I eventually found the Recovery Installer for Noobs... ran it, it worked and I was able to install SuperSU. Went to apps, it was rooted.
Meanwhile, after boot, I get a bunch of print on the side of the screen that is scrolling, can't get rid of it. It is on my screen at all times. This happened when the boot into Recovery failed. I don't know what happened or how to get rid of it.
Also, I then installed a Tethering app for rooted phones. It won't work. I can use FoxiFi but I didn't need to root for that. The whole purpose of rooting my phone was so that I could use a good tethering app without being charged twice by Tmobile.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on getting rid of the scrolling screen print on the right side of the screen and also to get the Tethering to work properly.
Do I need to do a factory reset and start over? Will a factory reset take it back to the way it was before this?
I have screen shot of the scrolled printing but I can't see how to attach it. But it looks like this:
7.44/10.12/10.01
com.android.system
system_server
comandroid phone
k.worker /0.0
sys.manager
etc, and changes every second. not really scrolling but changing in length and in what it is showing. It's like it is showing active commands on the screen and I don't know how to turn it off.
Try:
Menu/system settings/develop options/....
Now scroll to the bottom to User Interface and see if any of those boxes are ticked. Untick any that are.
Report back with results.

I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this on their 3d before and when I searched the topic there was no real definition or solution. Yesterday while playing around on the phone I had a random reboot (ZR3D Rom using Anthrax) and when the phone booted again I had the message "Safe Mode" in the lower left hand of the screen.
God knows I thought I really screwed something up, booted to recovery, wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permission to no avail. So this morning I get to work and have some time to look up this safe mode and came across this article:
http://androinica.com/2010/08/how-to-activate-android’s-safe-mode-to-get-out-of-a-force-close-loop/
I had no idea that our phones could do this and its quit the neat feature, in a nut shell if you have a program that keeps force closing and you can not use the phone because of this, the phone can be booted into the safe mode which prevents the phone from loading 3rd party apps so you can remove the app that was giving you problems. All that is needed is a battery pull then hold the menu button while powering the phone on and vice versa to get rid of safe mode.
Like I said I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem or even knew about it but I thought I would share just in case someone needs help.
That's some good info. Thanks.
Holding the volume down once the splash screen appears will put you in safe mode as well, with any reboot no need for a battery pull. You will feel a hard vibrate, stronger than the normal quick one you get on a normal boot.
interesting info... didn't know that.
on another note.... i have never had a third party app repeatedly force close on me. in the ROM flashing world it has always been a system app.... this method would be useless in that scenario lol.
interesting, though, learn something new everyday.
It has actually been helpful for me, finding out what apps are comparable with joelz's cm9 kang rom.
At first I thought my problems stemmed from an update with WidgetLocker. However, I uninstalled that and the problems persist.
Description of problem:
So I boot the device to the lock screen.
I unlock the phone and all I see is my background with the taskbar at the top. No icons. I can't interact with anything. After a few seconds the screen goes dim and times out. Even if I touch the screen to keep this from happening.
I hit the power button to turn the screen back on. No response. I wait 30 seconds or so and it turns back on. I am greeted with "xxxx process/program has stopped responding do you want to force quit, wait, or send a report" (whatever program happens to be up, doesn't seem to matter, all programs cause this to happen). If I hit force quit the program still hangs. If I hit "wait" the program starts working. This isn't a very repeatable event in that sometimes when I turn the screen back on instead of the "force quit" screen I get the background with taskbar.
While all this is going on I am still receiving status updates, emails, texts, etc. Sometimes I can get to the point where icons appear on my homescreen but if I tap a program's icon the screen just freezes.
I have Go Launcher installed but this happens in Go Launcher or Sense.
Any ideas what is going on? So far I've:
restarted
removed battery
restarted without back on
restarted without sim card in
No luck.
I tried "restore" but after being shown green arrows and an icon of the device I immediately get an icon of the device and a red exclamation in a triangle.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid a hard reset.
I would run the RUU. I know you don't want to wipe, but I would back up your data as best you can and wipe it.
any recommendations for backing up? I can't really get to any apps right now.
What does RUU mean?
ROM update utility. Stock rom releases from HTC.

well
I ran the phone down to 0% battery. Restarted it and things seemed ok. But just now it is starting to hang again so going to back it up and run that RUU.
I tried the RUU but was told it could not communicate with my phone even though I had it plugged in via usb.
Instead of installing the RUU I installed one of the leaked ICS updates (official one for the rezound). Now it functions somewhat better. There is still often a long wait between pressing home while in an application and going to the home screen. Also while the screen is off, pressing the power button to turn the screen on I have to wait a good minute for the screen to come back on. Any idea what in the world is going on?
Sounds weird. Anyway, here are a couple thoughts:
When you installed the ICS leak, did you do a complete wipe of everything? If not, do it and reinstall whatever ROM you like.
Otherwise, in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik again. While you're in Recovery, it wouldn't hurt to run Fix Permissions.
HTH - Good luck!
I did a factory reset to the ics rom.
How do I clear cache and what is dalvik.
I'm going to download one of the official rezound 2.3 update toms and flash it. If that doesn't work ill take it to a Verizon store and see what they can do. It is under warranty.
I've noticed that apps function fine the problem is getting to and from the home screens. It's then that the phone freezes up for a minute or so.
Ok was going to reset phone to 2.3 but got the main version error so going to try this trick to get the main version down to where I can "upgrade" to 2.3:

Everything get worked out?
I can't get temp root to work so I can install superuser. Working on that now.
seems ICS leak has no temp root ability. I've reached the end of my road as I don't know where to go from here.
Any possible workarounds for getting off the retrieve pattern lock if you have forgotten a gmail acct? Done doing factory reset via cwm and tried installing stock rom and kernel but it always ends the same way. With customs, I always get a bootloop.

i seems an answer is in the post a few below yours::
Samsung Galaxy SCH-i500 how to bypass "Login with google account" screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182268
Quote:
1. Completely power off and power on your Galaxy-S phone.
2. Right after you pass the Galaxy-S and just before the Verizon Wireless logo video ends, immediately tap on the home button extremely fast and repeatedly (at least 4-5 times per second). If the Emergency Call button pops up, click that every now and then (3-5 times) but keep tapping on the home button. During this process your phone may flash the password screen or keypad screen just a few times and your phone will seem to be lagging due to the tapping.
3. Keep tapping until you see your Android home buttons stay steady at the bottom. Voila, you’re in your phone! If the emergency keypad constantly shows up or if it shows the Google account screen constantly, you have failed. The success rate can be around 15-50% so keep trying until it works. (You may want to grab a young phone-savvy guy or girl to do it if your fingers are too slow)
4. Find and run the Settings App and go to Accounts & Sync.
5. Under Manage Accounts, remove all accounts except your Google account.
6. Press your power button off and on and enter your correct Google account information.
7. It will ask for a new security pattern. Enter it twice and you are done!
This solution worked for me. If it does for you, please leave a comment with your carrier and phone model to let others know that it worked!
... but worked just fine.
.
will try this method. will keep you posted if successful or not.
managed to get in. but now theres a new one. somehowmthe owner had a tw launcher installed and im'm stuck on fc error message. if i try to close it, i'm back on the gmail acct retrieval. hmmmmm.....
Looks to me that o won't he able to do the above steps. Hands are too slow. Also found out that it's like a common issue to the sgs stock recovery. Used odin and flashed cwm 2.5.1.x instead amd wipe from there. Worked like a charm.

My phone updated overnight. I use the gesture unlock feature. Because the phone restarted, it requires me to use the gesture unlock instead of biometrics. If I input the wrong set of gestures, it says "Incorrect direction drawn". If I input the correct set of gestures, it pauses, the screen goes dark as if I'd hit the power button, but it does not unlock.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks.
Does anything happen if you plug it in immediately after the correct gesture?
Plug it into a power cord? I tried that, but didn't see any different behavior.
I also booted into recovery and wiped the cache as I saw that worked for someone on Sprint with the same issue. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue on my phone.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd try samsung switch from a pc and do a device initialization at this point or maybe try using Odin to flash a stock firmware of your carrier
I tried Switch, but it couldn't do anything with the phone locked.
I also booted into Safe Mode, but that didn't help.
I eventually decided to reset the phone. Everything is working now, but lost some of my data.
I'm sorry I didn't see this before you did the reset. If you have the samsung account setup, it could have been use to remote unlock the device. Sign to "find my mobile" from the web, and the phone needs to have data on. In the list of option on the you will unlock.
Oh, that's a good idea. That would have been so much easier. I probably knew about that feature at one time.
I'm now going through the long process of setting up my phone again. Samsung backup has restored a lot, but still a lot to do.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem. Phone wouldn't let me do anything as I had an endless loop of system UI loops. Had to factory reset but luckily my Samsung backup ran slightly before the update.

I purchased a note 4 as a fun project, it has a cracked top glass only around the upper camera, I figured once I reset it, was going to proceed with glass replacement.
I put it aside, now its been a few weeks, so I hope I get the this in order of events.
While I am not expert, I am not a newberry either, but have exhausted my knowledge and searched this forum over, but maybe not using the correct search keyword.
I believe it is complete stock, but has a passcode and/or finger print lockout, so unsure. Still has all the previous user's settings & files.
It boots fine to lock screen. I can navigate to make an emergency call, all screen, volume buttons work, etc.
I simply want to wipe it through the normal stock recovery, but the normal key power+up+home combo is not working, the phone simply boots straight to lock screen every time.
Download mode is also not accessible either. power+down+home, same thing - boots and straight to lock screen.
Every combo of pressing power, volume or home get me to the same spot. Its as though the buttons do not work until it is booted up to lock screen.
I figured I would craft up a 300K usb jig to force download- still no go, same issue - boots straight to lock screen. Even tried variable resistor values, still no go.
I finally was able to get to download mode using Samsung 300K tool program - but even then, the phone will only initiate download mode if I click "connect" at just the right time during bootup.
So I downloaded the appropriate 6.0 android from SamMobile, loaded it via Odin successfully, the download finished, phone rebooted, and continued with android setup ( the screen where android initializes apps i.e 1/3xx, 2/3xx, etc and runs through 200, 300 or how many apps are installed, it takes awhile), so I walked away to let it finish.
I come back - its on the same dang lock screen.
Now I have read that one workaround is to pull the battery after some point to stop the phone from booting, then enter recovery and clear cache/ dalvik.
So I tried that, Odin, download, once phone reboots and vibrates, pull battery - but as stated, still not able to enter recovery.
USB debugging does not appear to be enabled, so unable to try that route either.
At a dead end. Anybody have a suggestion to get this device reset to factory.
I will even take a verbal beating :laugh:
Would love to even get TWRP, but thats a pipe dream at this point.
