Just got a small update on the z3v. It's not lollipop. [emoji20]...it's still 4.4.4 and same Kernal too....It enhances nfc.
Anyone else see any differences?
Says -- Improved NFC, Enable HD video on Google Play Movielist, link in update leads to a page unavailable error.
Don't care about either one of them, we really want the VoLTE update, and Lollipop.

From the change log:
"reduce mobile data notifications during calls" - in Verizon talk - "we can't give you voice and data, but we're just going to stop notifying you about it"
"Ensure emails with HTML links are displayed without a clickable link" - so I can't click on a link in the email to go to the web anymore? Need to find a work-around to copy the link manually?
Edit: can't really tell any change for link behavior in emails
I was really hoping for VOLTE when I saw an update...
Can't believe they spent all this time and still no VoLTE. -_-
I did notice that the update removed the what's new when swiping up from the home button. Google now is only option which is a good thing IMO.
Ahhh damn, I was hoping today was the update for VoLTE. >__>
Update:
Two icons were added to my App Drawer. Mobile Hotspot and Voice Mail. Not sure if they were already there or I just never noticed, but I'm pretty sure they were never there. Anyone else got something different?
Nah they were there before, I have them disabled so they are not there for me.
boot loop issue after update
I got the update from Verizon, it threw my phone into a boot loop. I let it run for like a half hour with no luck. During my entire ordeal, it would usually only make it to the Sony wave screen. It would make it to the Verizon screen on occasion, but would always loop back to the beginning. I would get two vibrations followed by a red notification light. I figured out the button combination for recovery mode. I tried to boot into Safe Mode. It once again went into a boot loop. I put it back into recovery mode and did a factory reset. It did the reset and went directly into a boot loop again. I ended up doing three factory resets in a row to see if it was an issue with the factory reset process. After three resets and a half hour boot loop, it did fully boot up. I went through the entire setup process, emails, wifi, bt, widgets, apps. During that process, it did a force reboot and went back into a boot loop. I went through the entire process listed above again. Safe Mode and three Factory Resets. I have once again gone through the setup process once again with no force reboot...yet. This could happen at any point any this is getting pretty aggravating. Any suggestions?

Did you try clearing the cache when you were in recovery?

Clearing the cache isn't an option I guess. I suspect a bad download of the update. Hopefully the factory reset takes care of that.

The recovery I used was the stock recovery since I'm not rooted. There was no option to clear cache. The options were Continue Boot Up, Boot into Safe Mode, Factory Reset and Shut Down. The only option that moves into a second screen is Factory Reset which gives three No's and one Yes for confirmation.

I was a bit surprised too. I have had many phones and rooted them all. Recovery is very familiar to me. I just kind of hoped that they merged both of these options in one.
I think the way to clean cache would be the settings reset in the backup and restore menu. It's separate from the factory reset option. Just my theory.

I don't think that would touch the cache, where a downloaded OTA resides. It just resets the user settings.

I am on 2.3.4, and the phone randomly rebooted. But when it got the part after it vibrates, it rebooted back to where it said "droid" and started a never ending loop. I have tried sbfing to 2.3.4 again, but rsd lite sayss I have to manually reboot my phone. I can boot to where it says "fastboot" in white.
Edit: RSD lite now says that the phone has finished sbfing, but the bootloop still persists.
Sometimes you can get stuck in a bootloop after SBF'ing. Two things you could do would be to pull the battery and then just try restarting. Another thing you could do would be to boot into Android Recovery (same way you get into RSD) and just wipe the Data/cache.

What happens when I wipe data/cache?

Wiping cache just clears out files used to open/run apps quicker. These files are rebuilt the first time you use the app. This one is no big deal and I wipe mine periodically just to "clean house."
Wiping data doesn't clean house, it remodels it. It sets everything back to factory (like "out of box" after an sbf). You will lose your data, apps, personal settings, etc. It does not touch your sdcard, though.
only way to get out of bootloop after sbf is to go to Android recovery and wipe data
it will put your phone back to what it was when you bought it i.e."out of box condition"
data wipe deleted all user data
I have that problem occasionally as well. I usually go into recovery and wipe cache but not user data, that gets me into the phone, but it will reboot 30 seconds after you get in, so then use BSR to clear Dalvik. If you cannot clear Dalvik you will probably need to wipe the user data, which resets the phone to factory defaults.
Power it up like this:
Hold power and volume down until the phone says FASTBOOT
Once the phone says FASTBOOT, press volume down until you see ANDROID RECOVERY
Once you see ANDROID RECOVERY, press BOTH the volume up and the volume down buttons.
You will see the triangle with the exclamation point and the Android.
At this point press volume up and down simultaneously again and select the cache clearing option by using volume down, then pressing the power button to select. Don't wipe user data just yet. Try to reboot once it is complete (You will see it on the screen) and see if you can get back into your phone. If you can, I recommend wiping Dalvik as well to be safe.
You can wipe Dalvik with Titanium Backup Pro, but the easiest way is to install BSR (Boot Strap Recovery)

Nevermind....people read to.much.into ****
Goodbye
Thank you for proving you are superior Ash. I will try to avoid helping folks in the future. You are a winner.
As for the SBF, I posted to him how to use the stock recovery to clear his cache, hoping that it will get him back into his phone, where he can then root and install BSR. By the way, it tried, at least I posted instructions and links as well. Where are yours?
I fear he is going to need to clear user data, but I was trying to help him avoid that since it is tedious to re-install everything, unless you have a backup. By the way, there is no difference between pressing the volume up alone and pressing both. I have done both and posted what I think is most easy.
Since I did it SO wrong according to you however, I will refrain from advice in the future and leave it all up to you.
Nevermind....people read to.much into ****...goodbye
That's what I get for trying to help...
No, what you did was to confuse the issue and the thread with your need to show you are superior, without reading my entire post.
Since it works the same BOTH ways, either pressing volume up alone or pressing both, and since I specifically posted a method that might get him back into his phone without wiping all user data, from experience with the same issue, there was no need for your post other than to show you think you are superior in some way.
It's not a contest 'buddy', it's trying to help fellow users.
This is my last reply, back on topic.

Ash you have spit a lot of knowledge my way and have saved my butt many times. You have always been credible and I never second guess your comments. Don't stop helping so many for someone talking. We trust you ash. I just gave the same instructions to someone else about bootloop and SBF. I told him factory reset in android recovery. Works for me perfect every time! And I do not mind rooting and setting my phone back up.
Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

You get it figured out? I did the same thing. . My old apps still there. I can tell it is gingerbread, but nothing works now. I hope you got your figured out!!
When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.
Anyone else experiencing freezes at boot logo.. I have twrp? stock rom?
Only way to fix is a battery pull .. this is phone number two as well. both did it?
Thank u,

I'm also stuck on Verizon boot logo. I installed TWRP, did a backup, and installed Google wallet. After the reboot, it just stays on Verizon logo. I turned phone off, and help volume up, home, and power button. It just goes back to Verizon boot logo....Help!!!

How long are you waiting. On a deodexed rom it takes a couple minuted and looks frozen at the verizon screen on the first boot.
This is soo odd...and annoying... im perfectly fine until I install a deodexed rom.. I am able to boot up to it one time but after the next reset it freezes on
the custom unlock Verizon logo?
my phone? I have tried 2 deodexed roms
Curious to see if phone number three does the same thing.

When doing a wipe on internal storage with recovery causes it.
Weirdly enough you will be fine until your 2nd reboot.

It's rebuilding the caches for all the apps. On AOSP this is explicitly shown as the "Android is upgrading" screen. On TW it does it during the Verizon boot animation loop. On the second boot the caches are already built.

Why are you wiping the internal storage? You only need to do a factory reset, which removes downloaded apps, reverts stock apps back to normal and removes all your personal data. I remember reading that performing an internal wipe removes the encryption on the internal memory. Maybe that's what is causing the issue.
I misread...I thought he said he was fine on the second boot.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Wiping the internal storage is not something I would normally do but did on occasion with the s3. There's no need for it really...
I am just happy its not the phone. it was difficult to diagnose because I would wipe factory and if I had a bunch of zip files I no longer needed on internal storage I would go on ahead and wipe that as well before installing a rom.
it would boot up fine and I could go a day or so before rebooting and it freezing so I didn't know what I was doing.
Just wanted to let everyone know ..
DONT WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE.
even a nandroid backup will fail after you encounter a freeze. The only way to fix it was to flash the stock odin.
Thanks for your input,
Paul
Hi all, so for awhile now I've been getting a few times a day, this message popping up. Htcdm not responding. Did some googling, but can't find a clear answer exactly what this is. Anyone know? Phone is working ok otherwise , haven't noticed any issues other than that. Not rooted, completely stock.

Same issue here. I notice it more often after I reboot the phone. I was going to update to 2.06 to see if that fixed it but I get the same error message when I ask the phone to "Check for update" Currently on 2.04. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Did either of you try a factory reset? It may be possible an app is causing the failure.
Yes. But here is the insane thing. No matter how I do a factory reset, either through the phone or through fastboot/hboot? it does not do anything to the phone. No data is wiped and all my apps and settings are still there after the factory reset, even though I tell it to wipe everything. I am not rooted and it is showing S-ON.

I had that issue when they were pushing the last couple updates. I think it's a server issue on htc side. I fixed it by clearing HTC DM services in all apps and then restarting on WiFi, going into update again and checking while on WiFi. I think I had also reset htc download manager.
Ok, thanks for the help. I'll keep trying a bunch of different stuff. It still baffles me that so far, I can, in no way, return my DNA to a factory state. I've tried from inside the phone OS, also from the hboot "factory reset" and from within recovery itself "wipe data, factory reset" nothing will successfully wipe my phone. It starts and then just reboots and boots back into android with nothing changed...any advice on this? Thanks again for the help.
Thanks for the suggestions. Ill try a factory reset. See how that goes

Hey XDA
This all started when I didn't put my phone on charge one night, and the morning after I got a text then I went to read it, my screen flickered and my phone crashed, this was usual when my phone dies.
However this time, when I put my phone on charge, it wouldn't boot up, it would stay at the boot animation screen.
I was running AOKP 4.2.2.
I then thought it was just a corrupt ROM so I went to re-install the ROM.
First, when I went to wipe the dalvik cache it said it had failed, this immediately showed warning signs, then when I went to install the ROM from my SD card it said that had failed also.
This left me only 1 option, to restore back to the stock ROM through Odin.
This seemed to go fine until I got to the end went instead of booting into an "android is updating" type thing, it was stuck on a boot loop.
This now leaves me stumped for ideas, so I turn to you, how do I fix my phone?
I hope I can fix this phone as it is my only phone.

after you install the stock rom via Odin boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset and wipe the cache. should boot up after that.
one thing i notice after installing 5 different OTA though odin last night they dont wipe user data you have to do it your self. so i would give that i try im sure that should fix your problem
