I keep getting this several times a day. Usually when I do the pull down menu. I've flashed back to stock to fix it, rooted again, and it still there. Then after the update from VZW, reflashed the update with the unlock process. So two reflashes and it's still there.
It did not do this when the phone was new and just rooted till I started trying to add wifi toggle to the pull down notifications. I thought the two flashing methods would fix everthing but it seems not all files were updated.
What is the best way to get my phone back to stock, but need root. I'd like to flash back to factory and see if it goes away. If it does, I'd like to then root.
Something is not right!
I just did this:
Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin
Step 1: Download and install Odin3 from section 1a if you have not already done so.
Step 2: Download this stock VRALJB image and pit file to a windows based pc.
Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2040264(This will wipe data and return your device to factory stock like the day you purchased the device. Unlocked and Locked devices may use this to return to Factory Stock conditions! Also, folks currently on the latest L4 OTA only use the alternate restore file as it does not contain a bootloader!)
SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z
I have no memory card installed.
Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".
Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.
Step 5: Click on the pit function of Odin and select the sch-i605-16gb.pit file.
Step 6: Click on the PDA function of Odin. Select the stock VRALJB image you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.
Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.1.1 android!
Well, it worked, have to log into google, setup account, screen tuturials are back, looks completely factory.
However, it just connected me to my home network without asking and it is password locked! How can this be a clean install if it is WPA/WPA2 PSK security and I never entered my password?
This cannot be a factory clean phone.
Please help.

Google backs up your Wifi connections as well as contacts and apps and other BS. I've noticed the google restore of wifi settings to be a bit spotty, but I also found that google thinks I have numerous instances of the same devices, so I think that it starts to get confused. Anyhow, there is no witchcraft going on. After you log into your google account during setup, it downloads wifi ap's and then starts restoring the rest of what it can on wifi.

Really, wifi backup. Would have never ever guessed that. Answers a few questions I had. Thanks. Guess my phone isn't spying on me:cyclops:
Hi,
I did a bunch of search strings on here and Google to try and find a solution to my problem to no avail. I really hope you guys can help.
My device: Galaxy Note 3 - N900W8 - Rooted and Unlocked (RegionLock Away 1.3)
My Problem:
I'm trying to connect the device to my works account via Exchange ActiveSync. My company forces encryption on the device as part of the setup processes. When I try to Encrypt the device (Fast Encrypt or not) it shows the Encryption Android dude (Green) as if it's going to start and then the phone just turns off and reboots.
Any ideas what the issue could be? Is it possible that because the phone is rooted, the security settings that my works places on it doesn't like it?
Thanks.

Hi, I was experiencing the same thing, I was playing with the encryption and now my lock screen pattern and pin is not an option anymore and I have to use the encryption password, when my device is not even encrypted! I cannot decrypt because every time I go into the Encrypt device option, It goes back to rebooting just like you mention. Anybody can help?
Thanks,

I received a replacement Nexus 5 after the screen on my first one was flickering. Since I had to move all of my files over anyway, I used CF-Auto-Root to unlock the bootloader and root the new phone. I then used BootUnlocker to relock it. I did that last week, and everything was fine. Earlier today, I installed Tasker with Secure Settings, to disable Pattern Lock while I'm at home. While I was out, I turned my phone off, and when I tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I restarted the phone numerous times after unlocking and relocking the bootloader, without any issues. The only difference between restarting it this time and last time was Tasker and Secure Settings. I should be able to recover the phone by doing a factory data reset from Recovery Mode, but before I do that, is there any way to recover my files? Specifically my SMS and MMS messages? Thanks.
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). My device is currently stock rooted running Android 4.4.2. I recently just did a factory reset and need to encrypt my device. I have my screen lock password setup and when I select to encrypt the device it shows the screen with the android gear icon for a second then shuts off. About a minute later it will turn on again on its own and boot right up to the regular lock screen. It will not encrypt and gives no error message.
The only references I have found on a Google search about encryption not working was referring to an error message saying the encryption failed and asking the user to factory reset.
Any idea what is causing my issue?
Still having this issue. Even reflashed again and it's doing the same.
I bought this phone which was freezing up. I thought that a firmware upgrade would do the trick. However, there was a Samsung Account of the phone and I was not aware of. The phone goes to the first set up screen, asks me to connect to WIFI but there is not WIFI providers to choose from. I click in the refresh WIFI list and the phone asks me to turn on WIFI. However, I do not have access to the WIFI on/off switch due to Samsung account lock. After a couple minutes the phone would again freeze up. Sometimes it restarts or it would simply stay in a black screen. I have to remove the battery and start the process all over. I have tried re-flashing via ODIN . I update the phone via Verizon Software Assistance to the latest firmware Marshmallow G900VVRU2DPF4. But I downgraded to G900VVRU2BOE1 Lollipop 5.0 firmware now. I also tried removing the account by flashing the modem.bin file but I get stock in the same spot. Guys, please help!
