Hey Guys
My Nexus one hangs at the startup screen and I can't seem to get it to start. So far, I have tried going into the quick boot screen and clearing the factory settings (i.e hard reset) but it did not change anything. I am bit out of ideas.
Did you do a nandroid, if so revert back to it and proceed forward from there.
sorry, I didn't do an nandroid. Can I do that now?
alright, I installed a recovery image and can enter the menu listed here.
Cyanogen's recovery source based on Amon_RA's post.
I restore the setting just fine but then when I reboot the phone still hangs. Is there another step I am missing? Is just having the recovery tool not enough? How do I restore the original settings?
same problem here did you manage to fix it ?
Same problem here. I have tried everything but I cant make it past the " X " - looking splash screen. If its of any help, the splash screen is STATIC.
Thanks in advance.
it almost sounds like either a bad flash or a bad wipe, if you made a nandroid, try resotring it. If you have not rooted or loaded any roms then the problem may be hardware side.
think the mobo is acting funny, i sent mines in for repair due to t his issue, but unlocked bootloader makes me pay $194..... im trying to figure it out before i pay as a last resort!
I have a real dilemma here folks...
I have a myTouch3G and the other day I rooted the phone in order to get me a custom ROM and get rid of the stock old ROM. Well, in the process I decided the reset my phone because I wanted everything to go smooth and no apps to intervene. Well so it happens that my phone got disconnected and I can't get past the Welcome to Android thingy. I don't have any friends with a T-Mobile plan and I need to get this phone back running and hopefully with a new ROM. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
So did you load a custom ROM or did you just factory reset the stock one? Did you get a custom recovery installed by booting the phone holding home+power? If your completely stock (you didn't install anything and just did a factory reset of the stock ROM) your either going to have to borrow a friend's or root using the goldcard method, which will require you to have another Android powered phone.
Oh man! I did just do a factory reset on the stock ROM. Bummer, thanks a lor for the help.

While trying to do the hotspot mod on my Sprint Galaxy s4, something went wrong. Phone will not boot past Yellow Sprint screen. I have tried full system reset by flashing stock rom with odin, but still no go. It says pass, but when rebooting, still stuck at yellow screen. Any ideas?
How long are you letting it sit there. It takes a few minutes to boot sometimes after a reset.

strange odin always works for me...it takes mad long to boot but it works
Did you not take a Nandroid backup before trying this? If so restore.
This happened to me as well. Went ahead and restored. Then flashed stock with no root. Installed root and TWRP. Flashed through Odin Noobnl's bootloader upgrade file and then the latest stock kernel. Then I did a factory reset and the hotspot mod appeared finally and all is good.
I'm pretttyyyy sure the hotspot mod is for deodexed ROMs only. Make sure you are deodexed and not odexed. That will cause you to get stuck at the Sprint boot up screen.

Oh my fault, didn't know that! Maybe he flashed the opposite one that he was supposed to then?!
PS- To the OP... this thread is probably gonna be moved to Q&A.
I had this happen the other night while flashing both hotspot mod and 4 in 1 reboot mod. The only thing I could come up with (why it didn't work the first time but worked fine second time) is that I flashed from internal sd the first time but from my external the second time. Unfortunately I couldn't restore my nandroid because my phone wouldn't recognize my 64gb sd card while in recovery. (OUDHS)
To get out of it I just flashed crawj's stock rooted odexed ROM and then re-flashed both mods (from external sd) with no problems at all.

OK GOT IT! Flashed a stock MDC ROM. It reset but keeps asking for a software update. I am a little nervous about doing update because I don't want to lose root.
My friend has sort of the same problem..but his is not app related. His phone just rebooted itself out of nowhere yesterday...he is 100% stock..not even rooted...it also hangs on the horrid yellow Sprint boot screen....it will boot fine into safe mode. So I rooted it, installed a new stock rom/modem/kernel...and still he is having the same problem. it can not be the battery otherwise safe mode would reboot too...but I am at a loss here..some other random hardware failure from some app that isn't loaded while in safe mode??
Same issue, please help

Did you figure out a fix for the stuck at yellow sprint screen? I too, installed the odex file and am now stuck on the yellow sprint screen. my phone doesn't boot up. I went into the cwm boot up and selected restore but that didn't fix it. I went into the normal boot recovery mode and selected data wipe/factory reset and it said that this was completed; however, I'm still stuck at the Yellow Sprint Screen.
Does anyone have a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please help somebody! I am in the same boat. Call me an idiot (I deserve it) for not making a backup after rooting.
Can someone please do a step by step on how to get past the annoying ugly yellow Sprint logo screen?
So I'm stuck as well on the Yellow Sprint Screen on boot. All I did was qbking77 root and wifi mod. At the end following his video he said to reboot the phone. Well now I'm stuck. I'm ODEX MF9 with 4.2.2. I followed the instuctions step by step, not sure what happened. Any help please? Thanks
Help...
I had a working phone with 3.0 golden eye.
I had installed Hide it Pro and File Hide it.
I was able to use the File Hide it but after reboot, the screen got stock at Samsung S4 Logo screen and I tried to restore and was TWRP says restored but during reboot it will get stock still at the Samsung S4 logo.
Now, I am trying desperately how to even just make it work.
I remember last time I had installed Hide It Pro and it also got my older phone get stock in the same situation and had used a different ROM.
this is the 2nd phone that is stock after installing Hide It Pro.
Any suggestions on how to revive my phone?
I am currently downloading the stock "I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT.zip" and will try to Odin it.
I am looking to use the later UCUADML stock rom.
Thank you.

Actually have you tried a factory reset yet? I would try that first before Odin.
That will work, make sure after you odin, you do a factory reset, or you will still see the same issue, odin does NOT do a factory reset.
Good luck.
head over to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares. you'll have to register as a user but they have the MDL firmware you are looking for.

You are right. I did a factory reset first, did not work so my last resort was ODIN.
I did ODIN and I was able to see the apps and play with it. after reboot, got stock again at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo.
I wil ODIN again and after reboot in the phone, I will do a factory reset since I believe the phone is non-rooted at this point.
I will post back what happens.
Thanks.

It's getting frustrating.
I had ODIN my phone, reboot and factory reset by using the vol up+power+home.
stock was fine.
rooted the phone and installed SHOstock 2.0 by wiping all including format data.
at first reboot, gets stock on the samsung logo...
what else can I do to fix this even if i had already rolled it back to stock/factory reset?
Thank you.

Ooops, my bad. Golden ROM is a Touchwiz?
I will try to recover it and flash the Touchwiz Kernel.

AFter I had ODIN my phone and flashed a new ROM, I should not be having these issues(?). right?

I had ODIN it again.
After reset/reboot, since it is connected to my pc the invisible batter in the background appears and does nothing after the ATT logo with sounds came out.
disconnected from pc and tried to reboot. it will only show the logo during power button push, release the power button and the logo disappears and dies.

I tried reboot in recover, power+vol up and home, the phone will show the logo and release power and it dies, does not continue to recovery.
Is there any other way to recover the phone?

battery was dead.
now, after ODIN, I am in stock ROM, none rooted.
restarted = ok
power off > start = ok

because you must use a kernel for your device...PERIOD! If you do not, you will hang at boot.
So today, randomly my phone restarted. It started to boot up and got stuck on the Google logo screen (I think, the screen where all the circles are overlapping) and just simply won't boot. The battery just gets extremely hot.
I'm not sure where to go from this.

Im using the GT I9505 with the ktoonsez rom. I basically unlocked my phone and opened an already running app and turned off and wouldnt boot from there. I managed to get into recovery (TWRP) and tried wiping the caches, still the same. In the end I did a factory reset.
I'm still baffled as to why this happened though.
