I'm in the middle of SBF flashing my phone, and it's been going for at least an hour and a half and it's been stuck on "creating image file" and says "executed: 0%"
How long is this supposed to take roughly? Should I just leave my computer running into the night to finish this?
EDIT: Alright, it's starting to move past 0%. Currently at 19%. I guess it just takes a while to get going.
It took me maybe 20 minutes total.
It took me roughly 2 hours, but it did get finished (thankfully).

Wow. I have never had it take anything close to that long. Maybe 10 minutes or so. I've done it numerous times.
I was using my tablet for couple hours and still had around 60% of battery. I turned off the tab because I had to go do something for couple minutes, when i come back my tab wont turn on anymore?
I just got my tab yesterday from costco, i haven't rooted it or done anything, its factory fresh.
Is this common?
Not common. Assume you tried holding the power button down until a forced restart occurs (should force restart after holding for 15 seconds or so if the OS had crashed).

I also had this problem twice since purchasing it new in October. Same scenario as yours, battery had a lot of life left and it shut down. I persistently tried to turn it on but nothing happened. I decided to plug it in and charge it for a couple minutes and tried to turn it on again. After about 5 minutes or so, it came back to life!
I called Samsung and they are expecting me to send it back for repair. They did state that it as not common nor were they aware of the problem. Unfortunately, I have to take care of the return cost for warranty since I live in Hawaii... If i were state side, they would have taken care of the expense...
is there any way to speed up the boot time on the prime like setting services to start after boot up or stopping certain services from starting at all
I found a system file that allowed you to boot with no boot image to allow faster startup but it won't be much faster as it has to mount your internal sd card and load apps ect.. If you have a external card remove it then insert it after boot and see if the time improves.???
Other than that why are you turning it off? Over 8 hours you will lose like around 1% battery while getting few emails
The deep sleep on the prime is crazy as the companion core Is running at 102mhz which is great!

I'm guessing that once we see some custom roms we will also see faster boot times.

I dont know on HC, but ICS boot time is very fast.
At least on my Galaxy Nexus
You will get ICS on Jan 12
It boots faster if you never turn it off.
All Android devices tend to boot slow (although the Prime is the slowest I have seen). I just turn off wifi, GPS, and bluetooth when I am done and try to avoid actually turning it off.

agreed! my TFP is still in teh mail but my inspire has 0 battery drain with all the radios off. seriously, it could last me days/weeks if i put it into airplane mode when i'm not on it
Mine takes about 1 minute 45 seconds. I timed it but just once.
Mine takes 45 to 50 seconds. It used to take a good 2mins but after factory reset and apps put back it's a lot speedier.
Just seeing this threat. Mine is also incredibly slow--at least 2 minutes. I'll also try a factory reset to see if it improves.
I actually came in here looking for a thread about boot times and here one is. Mine takes an incredibly long time to boot (running androwook 2.1). Upwards of 2-3 minutes boot time. Driving me crazy. Maybe a factory reset is in my future too.
Need to reduce the boot time
i am using a self modified rom for the tablet hardware that i specifically chose, so i have tweaked most of the drivers and made some changes in the kernal for viewing the debug messages.
but when i finally done all the changes it booted for a 2.50 mins.So i disabled the unwanted debug message andit reduced to a lower value of 1.27 mins.
i wanrt it to boot within 40 sec max could any one please tell me what has to be changed in the kernel for this.
I noticed this, that even with both of our Rezounds having been De-Sensed, and all the bloat removed, that they take an insanely long time to boot up.
One phone is unlocked and perm rooted, the other is not. Both phones have "fast boot" enabled, but they both take a solid 2 minutes to boot up and get to the lock screen.
Any idears?
You would think that not having to load Sense or any of the 20 useless bloat apps, that the phone would boot faster, but it takes longer than any phone I have ever owned, bar none.
It's the way that HTC decided to build Android on the Rezound...nothing more, nothing less. You'll probably see significantly lowered times when we get AOSP on here. I mean my OG Droid took a good minute to load until I got my first AOSP ROM(Cyanogenmod)
Mine boots in like 5 seconds from a dead power off. Fastest phone I've ever had.
If i "reboot" then it takes about a 2 minutes.
Ok, so it isn't just me then... I mean, I have a 3 year old laptop running Windows7 that takes 1/3 the time to boot up than this phone takes, which seems crazy to me.
So I guess it is better to turn the phone off and then boot it, instead of rebooting it? I will try that and time it and see what the difference is.
I was wondering this too. Good to know!

With me turning my smartphone off every night I see this long load time every day. I don't use Fastboot either.

With fastboot enabled, it will boot that fast from a power down...
I noticed this too when I first got it on launch day. I was at the bar with a friend and she had a Droid 2 and I mentioned that it takes insanely long to boot up, so I decided to set up a "race". I hit reboot about 5-10 seconds before she rebooted hers and her's was fully loaded before mine even got to the sense lockscreen! After freezing all the apps I didn't like, installing a custom ROM and using autorun manager it seemed to shorten a lot. Haven't re-tested the "race" yet though just to see if it's placebo or not.

That's like booting from hibernation on a PC

With custom ROM root and no apps my phone booted in like 30 secs. Now it takes like 1 min 45sec

My phone boots in under 30 seconds every time, even after a battery pull. I get the haptic vibrate before the LTE animation finishes. I don't use Fastboot.
then clearly you've got the one magical rezound out there, because every single rezound i've ever used and booted up takes god damn forever, including mine lol

Mine only takes 30-40 secs on fastboot to boot up.
When I power off and power back on, it's very fast, less than a minute. If I reboot, it takes a long time, 2 to 3 minutes. Strange.

Just tested mine and from the time I pushed "restart" on the reboot screen to the time the lock screen came on it took 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I then shut the phone down and from the time I pushed the power button until the lock screen came on was 1 minute and 35 seconds.
My CleanROM 1.5 boots in 42 seconds from a battery pull.

I rock SenselessROM, probably similar times? Or could it be DSB's kernel?
Has anyone tried using the ROM Toolbox Auto Start Manager to disable applications from loading at boot?
I feel like that might help out with boot times.
I too notice that doing a shut down and then cold power on takes like 30 seconds, but a reboot takes 2-3 minutes full turnaround.

duh, then NO WONDER you boot in like 30 seconds...should've said that in your first post
Power off and power on is different than a full restart. This phone goes into hibernation when you power off that's why it boots faster. Full restart or battery pull is what the post is talking about.
disabling apps from starting on boot does help boot time. Also certain roms boot faster.

So my phone turns off randomly and stays off for a couple minutes and i have to hit the power like 50 times before it finally loads normal...lol i have no idea whats wrong with its really not bothering me much but every once in a while it becomes an inconvenience.

Give us more info please. Is it still completely stock? I had similar problems when I was still stock, getting black screens all the time and had to hold power for a while to get it to shut off to be able to turn it on. Once rooted and unlocked, I was able to install a custom ROM and the problem never came up again.
