So I've lurked around for a little bit, and think this community is awesome. Hopefully, you guys/gals can lend me a hand.
I just got a Galaxy S5 today, so I'm giving my XT910 to the GF. Went through phone settings, did a factory reset including internal data.
Booted up, and "Unfortunately, Setup has stopped" click okay, but the message returns, ad infinitum. So I went through the Recovery mode and did a factory reset that way. Setup still won't work when booting the phone and I can't seem to get past it.
It was on stock JB before. I had previously rooted it but have successfully done a factory reset and did not root it again since (assuming the factory reset removed the rooting process). North American phone/firmware.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Fixed it!
I was able to reflash an official ROM from sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10 using EternityProjects RSD flash tool...

Ok, simply out of frustration I have exhausted all my options and my phone is acting weird I think. I did the factory reset, tried fruitcaking, and even doing sbf. I am at a stock 2.3.4 however when I want to upgrade to try different roms it is extremely unstable and I always get boot loops. Yes I did try the wiping caches and everything before and even after.
So my question is am I doing something wrong? I had even relocked my device from sbf and unlocked it again by cleaning my device. My phone is rooted and unlocked stock rom atm. I'm not sure what to do at this point but either throw the phone at the wall or sell it.
Please help thanks. I tried searching but I believe my situtation is different.
Let me note that I was able to run the Alien rom just fine on my atrix it is 2.3.4 based I believe.
Have you tried the fastboot wipe option? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522
I've been using this as of late as some of my flashes (even factory resetting in recovery) have had lingering settings and artifacts.
I will definetely try this when I get home. Thanks I'll keep this updated.
Either it wont boot and it just restarts or it starts to boot and wont complete the process its just an endless loop. I have had it on ICS before but for some reason it took over 20 bootloops and it finally showed... I'm not sure where to start.
bump, that method doesnt work... I still need help any other alternatives please..
Are updating roms on romracers latest recovery or old recovery versions?
Hey guys, had a Note for a little while now and was running stock AT&T GB. I tried upgrading to ICS a couple of times using other threads in this forum, but I'd keep getting stuck in a boot loop and had to revert back to stock AT&T GB to recover my device per Da_G's method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330, and it worked fine.
However, I recently tried one more time to upgrade to ICS, failed and reverted back to stock AT&T GB per Da_G's method, and while my phone turns on, it has become sluggish to the point of being absolutely unusable. Screen touches work fine in some cases, and then take forever to register in the same spot later. The on screen keyboard cannot be invoked - it almost always hangs the phone. And the phone randomly reboots.
I did forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache the last time around while doing the install, and that probably caused this problem. But sine then I've wiped both caches and retried flashing, and also reinstalled a stock AT&T radio in case that was the problem, and also reset the flash counter per braway's methode here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569206, but to no avail...
My Note is pretty much useless at this time, so any light you guys can shed or any other tack you can suggest is going to help me immensely!
Thanks for the help!

Wiping caches is not enough. You need to to a full data wipe/factory reset. At this point why not just flash your phone with Odin.

This will fully wipe your phone and install the UCLF6 ICS ROM with matching radio.

Sorry, I didn't mention - I DID do a factory wipe/data reset and I've been flashing the stock GB ROM via ODIN itself. But thanks for the link to the ICS ROM - I'll try installing this and report back.
Okay, I downloaded the UCLF6 ROM from the samsdroid site (took like 3 hours to download!), performed several factory data resets, cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes on my phone, and then flashed the ICS ROM via Odin. Odin showed "Passed", but the phone rebooted into recovery with a message "failed to mount /system" and "failed to mount /data". I then hit "reboot system now" and am stuck at boot loop. Booted back into recovery, got the same message about not being able to mount system and data. Hit "reboot system" again and back to boot loop...
What the heck am I doing wrong???

You do have an ATT i717 and not a canadian version? But I think your phone has other issues.
It is an AT&T SGH-i717. I've used it for 6 months now and it worked fine - it just never let me upgrade it to anything beyond GB... and now it is unusable even with GB.
Do you think it might be a hardware issue? Although, how could flashing and reflashing ROMs impact the hardware?
If the odin flashing did not straighten things out then I have to believe that there are other issues.

Did you try to flash ICS with Samsung Kies? If that doesn't work, your phone may have developed a hardware problem.
i have had the same issues as well, i am unsure if its me or what but everytime i have tried to flash a tmobile rom on my note which should work it slows down to a crawl i cannot even go through the setup process. I have tried via odin and through cwm touch. the next thing i flashed was t879uvlg3 modem and i was wondering if that was the issue and if so what modem should i flash that way i dont have to use kies for recovery cause man..........thats slow. I even made a nandroid backup and it was slow as well so if anyone has had this issue or any ideas please help me

My problem is that the phone does not stay on long enough for Kies to detect it - it keeps rebooting on GB. Well, guess it's cooked! Thanks for the help!
Hey all.
So just a few hours ago, I was running rooted stock, as per the guide in the development section. I then installed twrp, and attempted to flash a ROM, which resulted in my phone not booting.
Since then, I got into recovery, attempted a factory reset (which didn't work), and ended up using Odin to restore to stock.
So now I'm sitting on the stock image, unsure if I have root. Everything seems to work fine, but is slow. Also, I cannot enable wifi (the switch goes on for a split second, then back to off).
Is there a way I can uninstall twrp, and go back to complete and total stock?
If it's relevant, I get a constant "This device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions..." error.
Thanks guys!!!
UPDATE: It still has root access.
UPDATE 2: I'm finding some similar issues people were having with the T-Mobile version (http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-g...connect-wifi-prevention-information-help.html) though I'm not sure whether I can follow those solutions. I will wait until someone can advise me on this.
It sounds like you didn't installed the complete stock image, that the stocked rooted image is installed. Have you done factory reset?

I tried the factory reset option from within twrp recovery, which doesn't fix any of these issues I'm having with constant security alerts or Wifi.
Got it fixed by doing this:

I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 a few days ago, and has been working fine up until about an hour ago. My phone basically locked up while I was using Spotify, so I did a hard reboot, and got stuck in a boot loop. I tried to reboot a few times with the same results. I didnt have much on my phone, so I did the factory reset (using Teamwin recovery), but after that the phone was still stuck in the boot loop. After that, I tried the "Format Data" option. After going through, It was still stuck in the boot loop. I've also tried to restore backups, but to no avail. I'm not super knowledgeable about the whole inner workings of rooting. I didn't want to do the advance wipe (includes internal storage, system, USB-OTG) for fear of really messing something up. If it completely restores to factory settings, i don't really care, I just dont want my phone to be completely unuseable.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say you should do an advanced wipe. Just make sure your SD cards aren't checked to be wiped! After that, flash an older version of the ROM (cm 10.1) and everything should boot.

OK, so I went through the Advance wipe (removed my SD card just in case), and now it won't even get TO the boot screen, it just sticks on the Galaxy S3 screen. So, basically the only thing I can do is boot into recovery mode. I can't get past that no matter what I do. Any other suggestions? Starting to hope I have an upgrade available...
Anyone?
Did you fix the problem?!
I'm having the exact same issue now. Any luck?
I recently tried to re-install root on my device. I used the link below to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Everything worked fine, my phone rebooted normally, said it was rooted and I went on my day. Later that day I rebooted my phone and now it wont start up. It just pauses at the verizon logo and never gets past that. I can get into the default LG recovery, but I don't know how much I can really do there.
I really need to recover some of my files, contacts, etc. If I could just fix the issue without losing data that would be better, but at the very least I need to save some files from my phone. Any ideas?
EDIT: I have done some research and found I can fix my issue if I'm able to get my phone to be recognized by my computer. For some reason the MTP USB Device driver fails the install...
Have you gotten into recovery and tried to wipe the cache?
If you can get into the stock recovery you should be able to choose wipe cache and it will take you to twrp if you have it flashed onto your phone. From there you can restore or wipe the cache and see if that helps.

Your hit there's no way to recover information from a soft/hard brick requires a factory flash
