I just tried installing GreyBlur on my rooted atrix phone with GingerBlur installed..I followed the instructions corrently..When I turned the phone on it boots up..the GreyBlur screen comes up (instead of the At&T welcome screen) and then I see the locked home screen which it doesn't let me do anything..it's like the touch screen isn't responding or something..then it appears as it turns off and it won't light back up when i hit the power button. When I connect it to the computer, my phone makes the notification sound it always makes if its on and connected thru usb. The screen won't come back on..I don't know what to do. When I take the battery out and put it back in, it boots up again and the same thing happens...I don't know what to do..plese help! I need my phone!
Someone please help =( I can't find anything on this issue.
I'm willing to restore to the factory defaults if I have to.
The only thing that i can think of is flash back to 1.26, 1.52, or 1.56 (or .57, whatever it was).
ooor the new 1.83.
I didn't have this problem. Sorry I wasn't any help. Hope you get it fixed.

I flashed back to 1.2.6
and it worked! Thank you guys so much for all your help.
I have no idea what went wrong and why I came across that issue.
I spent an hour looking it up and couldn't find anyone with the same issue
I was wondering if you have any recommendations what I should do now
to get out of my atrix. I'm still interested in greyblur and I wish I could
get it to work.
hi. having a problem with not getting a chance to let go of power and volume down button. the images go away so fast!! i have tried and tried. it's like it is set up for me not to be able to get in downloading mode. anyone have a similar problem? anyone have any answer? thanks
I don't know what's causing that, have you already rooted?
If you're just trying to get into CWM recovery, try installing Rom Mananger from the Market. That app has a reboot in recovery option, although I haven't personally tried it on the Tab.

not able to root. i'm afraid to try anything cause if i cant get into downloading mode i cant use odin to fix a potential problem (flash back to stock)
Is it possible I have an unlocked bootloader? I know I have read that there is a picture of a lock (which I don't have)?
Keep holding it down after it reboots once and eventually it'll get in there. It's goofy. If you take the OTA it'll update the bootloader that appears to fix this bug, but at the cost of locking the bootloader.
prior to reading your response i did hold down the power and vol down and it cycled through like 3 times and no luck. This is happening to me with the tw update. i wasn't rooted prior to update just bought it last night and updated it.
thanks it worked
Yesterday i rooted my phone and put a kernel on it was all ok but i wanted to over clock my Wildfire s-on and it didn't have the overclock function as it did in the video tutorial so i looked for some more kernels and then found a couple installed them it was all ok but then my phone wouldnt connect to wi-fi so i wanted to flash it. It didnt work a load of times so i tried installing a new kernel hoping it would help "Simon's sense 3.5".
So this new kernel made my 3g stop working and kept saying i got no signal but i could still call. So i read a guide on how to flash using PG76IMG.zip and this completely messed it up when i start my phone up because i factory reseted it, it started up with choosing language etc i get paste the language an internet set up and then it just turns into a black screen i can still see the bar at the top but cant scroll it down and i can plug in usb and it will come up to choose which one.
I tried flashing with RUU but it keeps giving me some error 155 i think and then when it goes on to the recovery bit my phone just stays on the black screen with white HTC writing and doesnt do anything. Someone please help because i dont want to pay to fix something like this and my warranty probably wont cover it as i rooted.
Well today i got it to start up and got past the factory reset bit so its working like a normal phone but thinks it hasn't got any service but i can call... The wi-fi and 3g still dont work.
Anyone can help me?
As you said, it's probably your kernel's problem. Try flashing a different kernel? Take note that some kernels only support AOSP and not sense ROMs, and may lead to problems for your phone.
Thanks for your reply but what i want to do is just unroot it and revert back to stock but the kernel i installed has a custom theme so its all different i tried flashing but it doesnt clean out anything the kernels are still there and my wifi,3g and service dont work does that mean its bricked?
Could you help me get rid of the custom theme so i can just bring it to the phone shop and get it fixed for free?
And also could this be a hardware failure if my connections stopped working after installing some kernel/rom?
Hi, I have a Sprint Samsung s3, currently rooted with cm10.1. I've been having the freezing problem like a lot of people I've seen on here, but none of the suggestions helped me out. I tried to flash the rom to a older version on cyanogenmod (10.0). After that my phone would not even go pass the bootloader screen. I've tried to hold volume down and power button to go into recovery screen but it doesn't do that anymore, maybe it is because I don't have cwm because I am using twrp instead.
Any suggestions on how to get pass the bootloader screen?
Also any suggestions on how to fix the freezing problem?
The freezing problem only happens when I play games and only last for about 3 mins but it starts freezing again within 2-3 mins of playing time. I've already tried lagfix app, full wipe, dummy file generator app but to no success. Someone please help!
Try posting in the Sprint forum this is I9300 .

Flash a stock ROM with odin and see if that fixes anything.
So, like everyone else, I rooted my phone and decided I dont need all this bloatware and other nonsense system apps.
I was foolish enough not to back up things I were removing, and nothing SEEMED important, but all of the sudden my "Htc dialer": Has stopped working.
My phone will turn on, but I cant turn it off, it just reboots without actually turning the phone off when I hold the power down.
I cant get it into recovery mode ( power vol up) and when it turns on, it goes to the default lock screen the phone comes with, and then I CANT see my home screen at all. The home button doesnt work either.
I cant get to my apps, I have to use my girlfriends DNA to beam whatever app im trying to get to onto my phone.
I can go to settings, but cant factory reset.
I tried killing the battery to get power it off, but then cant get to recovery screen there either.
I'm not sure if anyone has the system apps apk's just laying around so I can attempt to repair my phone, ( my girlfriend wont let me root her phone, but thatll be the next step if no one can help) but any insight as to what I can do would be appreciated.
Try fastboot flashing recovery and then dirty flashing the rom you were on before you started deleting things. This may help you keep your rom setup. If this doesn't work then go to the moonshine thread run the ruu and start from scratch.

Honestly I don't know where to begin with your post. Its all over the place. The phone turns off by holding the power button for 10 seconds and waiting for the capacitive buttons to stop flashing. If your phone turns on its really not possible for this NOT to work. Yes it will reboot this is normal, though once the lights stop blinking you can quickly hold volume down and power to access boot loader and power down fully from there. Recovery is accessed from bootloader too assuming you have one installed. A lot can be done from both bootloader and recovery to solve problems so finding out if you can access them is the first step. I don't understand your statement about the default lock screen showing and you can't see your home screen. Which ROM is it? Which lock screen are you referring to? Why can't you simply unlock the phone? What is stopping you from doing that? Your home button doesn't work and you can't get to your apps...meaning? You can't access the app drawer? I thought you couldn't unlock the device there is conflicting info there. I don't see how you are beaming tasks one at a time through this painful process but I would just avoid that until you've fixed the problem. You can access settings but no factory reset, why? What can you do from settings? And finally you are asking for some apk's "just lying around".....dude your issues seem severe, obviously you are inhibited from using your phone right now but someone giving you some apps won't solve your problem in fact it would probably make it worse. Get into recovery perform a full wipe and flash a different ROM. Also don't mess with deleting apps if your not sure it might screw up your system.

Alright let me try to be a little more descriptive.
So as for the lock screen, I can unlock the screen, but then I see a black screen, no home page/icons. I cant get into the app drawer, when i try to factory reset, it says "rebooting" for a few seconds, screen turns off, right back on to lock screen, sim card says preparing, and then i'm back to where i was, doesnt actually reset. As for the beaming, I can say, open system app remover or file viewer on my girlfriends phone, then beam it, and my phone will open the corresponding app. This is the only way I can get apps to open, since I can't get to drawer or go to home screen.
When I hold down the power button down, the buttons flash, I get a message saying " continue to hold for 3 seconds" it counts down to 1, and then nothing. I can hold it til my arm falls off, nothing at all happens when it hits 1, I also can't power the phone down. If i try to, the screen goes black, capactive buttons turn white, back to lock screen and phone does " preparing sim" and the network/wifi reconnect as if it was just rebooted.
I have the default rom the phone came with, I believe I have a bootloader, I used a guide from this site to perform my root. The folder I have contains distiller, dnashellroot.apk, boot_secure, busybox, su and superuser.apk
dude your issues seem severe, obviously you are inhibited from using your phone right now

The weird part is, other then not being able to turn it off/get into drawer/see home screen, everything else works. If i get a text, i can drag down and select it and it opens. If i open gmail on my GF's phone and beam it, will open Gmail and function 100%. Same goes for any app we both have that I beam.
I just used my rooting method to force bootloader up, which worked, but when i hit recovery, im looking at a picture of a phone laying down with a orange triangle/exclamation point in the center of it.

Ok - fact of the matter is that you might want to try getting into recovery via the bootloader (vol down + power from off). If you can access the recovery module from there, you are then able to click advanced (using TWRP) then click sideload. You will then need to use ADB to sideload a new ROM onto the phone, then install via TWRP. Hopefully you might even still have the old .zip for the current ROM that you're using and just really need to get to recovery.

I can get into bootloader, i tried recovery, i get a verizon screen bootloader but just resets phone after a few minutes.
At my friends suggestion i just got TWIP installed and now i'm just waiting to see what she suggests next. I figured out thanks to my advance app killer I can get to the play store whenever i need to, and then open any apps i've installed through there. Stupid work around, but hey, it works lol.

Well if you just got TWRP installed via fastboot or goo manager you should be pretty well set. Download a new ROM, reboot into recovery and install. I would suggest wiping the davik and cache - possibly even the system just to give you a fresh start.

Absolutely! I first started out on XDA when I got my first android phone; MyTouch 3g (HTC Magic). I then took my tinkering to full fledged modding where I was charging to overclock, root and unlock phones. It used to be fairly profitable, now there's one click steps for everything. Glad you were able to figure it out instead of having to take it to someone! Good work!
