OK I think I just helped my father-in-law with this problem so maybe this may help;
1 - setting/applications/manage applications/market
2- In market - clear cache, then unistall updates if you have that option also.
3- back back back and open up market, agree to terms again and it should be working.
At least that worked for us, his market was FCsing every time he went into his downloads. Hope this helps
no.............it didn't work :-(
Did you do the "lag" fix ? That caused me problems with not being able to download from the market. After a reboot, all of the files were doneloaded and installed without any prompts.
I have no Idea what the "lag" fix is, and I did reboot my phone. When I try to download it just says "download unsuccessful"
Hi,
My Galaxy Note start having this long boot up waiting times after reverting back from ICS update.
The phone would wait for around 5 minutes on the Samsung splashing boot up screen and then a vibration with a light would emits the lower menu buttons when the phone is about to start.
It's like the waiting time for "Android is upgrading... Scanning applications XXX - 296" on the ICS!
Any help or ideas on how to fix that? Maybe a change in the numbers of "boot up timeout" file or something, if there's any can fix it???
Thanks!

Have you tried clear cache n wipe data?
Yes I've done cache wipe, dalviks cache wipe, system restore before reverting back!!!!
some time post flash it needed.
you can try again still not works, Reflash stock ROM again
I really have no time of doing so, it's time consuming...! Can I do that and then apply CWM backup restore??? Or it's going to conflict?
Cwm backup will push system junk if restore completely, so restore data only

I haven't had the need since going to the Note, but there's a neat program called alogcat which, for the boot animation, shows the logcat file scrolling by.
It might be useful to see what the Note is grinding on as it's booting up.
I used it for my mytouch 4g. Also nice to know that the boot is actually still 'booting' versus totally hung.

How do you go over th boot menu in alogcat? You just scroll and search for boot?

Is there any bug on Evo-x4 causing random shutdowns(not reboots)? I'm really confused and I don't know what to do. My phone can shutdown by itself up to 10 times per day.
NOTE: I haven't applied any build.prop tweak.
And I have faced this problem every time I have flashed Evo-x4.
Any suggestion guys?

no there is no bug in the rom that cause this
it would more likely be the kernel you are using that is causing this - use a different kernel with the rom
Yeah... there's no problem with EVO . I have tries as well n didn face the shutdown problem. U better try some other kernel n if the problem persists, go for sm other Rom. U can get a good custom rom with no or minimum bugs !
Sent from my GALAXY YOUNG ! EVER YOUNG !
like marcussmith2626 said its more likely a hardware button problem. i had this problem before.. even clean flash with odin the problem was there. observe your phone, try tilting,spinning.flipping and see if affect phone in any way. i solve mine by "roughing" up my power button (in my case this was the button givin problems) probabaly it was stuck or dust had built up... evo4 is awesome. there's no random reboot bug for me.

My friends SGY also having this problem when it was with Evo 4.2 with Percy kernel and power button also stopped responding
Then I tried pressing volume + home + power button while it was rebooting and it booted to recovery so I wiped both cache and data and rebooted but my rebooting issue was not resolved
There after I tried many times pressing combination buttons and to my surprise it was booting to recovery or download mode depending on volume key I used
It was indication that power button was working but after rebooting it was not working.
Now I flashed stock firmware and rebooting issue is resolved but still power button is not responding after reboot but it is allowing mobile to come to recovery or download mode
Is it a hardware issue which I doubt because it is responding before booting
Or what else can cause it and any suggestions for this

I had this problem a month ago, just change the power button it is brokrn

bro. we have the same problem, but not today. try to flash an .tar.md5 package to ensure it will wipe everything. also, after flashing, try to wipe everything again.
Ok so i just bought a new lg g2 d801.
I unlocked it succesfully, then went on to root it succesfully using ioroot.
Then I tried installing twrp using freegee and it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867
so I went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
I followed this method for the code in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
replacing "recoveryfilename" to the name of the rogers .img.
Now the phone just boots normally into the stock interface but it is all glitchy, no wifi, computer doesnt recognize it and then within about 1 minutes it boots into the lg logo with the "turning on" sound randomly and keeps doing that.
adb devices gives nothing. I cant browse the contents of it but it does seem to be interacting with the computer since it is saying "driver updating... etc."
Ahhhh not too sure what to do from here.
If anyone can guide me I will be infinitely grateful, so discouraged right now.
I just want to bring it back to stock, nothing valuable at all on it, I have had it for 4 hours.
U can do a factory reset and see how it goes. Go to settings > general> backup and reset> factory reset.

I cant access any settings.
Just says: Error
In a little black box. I can browse the menus but cant actually enter into the specific settings areas.
I did factory reset from twrp which is accesible, didnt help.
Thank you though, I would love more ideas!
In that case u should flash stock rom using a computer. Go through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Ok im going to try using the lg mobile support tool
I went in usb mode holding the up key and inserting the usb cable.
Seems to be working, downloading a ~2gb file.
I will update.
All the best
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
of course my wifi cuts when the download is at 1443 of 1772 mb.
I think the gods have something against me today.
Should I cancel the download and start over? Doesn't seem to be picking up where it stopped.
Do you have any other option to resume ur download?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK thank god it went through.
Installed the stock recovery succesfully.
Restored factory settings.
Still doing strange boot shutdowns randomly and wifi is not working. I cant access any settings.
It seems like there is rom compatibility issues or something.
What should my next step be?
Btw thank you so much for being here I really appreciate your help.
Did u flash the stock rom or just recovery?

Just recovery I think... I just let the lg mobile support tool do its thing
It was in the usb download mode.
Now I am planning on attempting what you linked. Only problem is that the flash tool links are not up to date and I cant fidn where to download it.
U should flash the whole stock rom, not just recovery, u will find all the necessary tools in the thread I mentioned

I am actually going slowly insane right now.
I have been sitting in front of my computer for over 8 hours trying to get this back to functional condition.
I followed the procedure exactly as detailed, when I press "upgrade start" I get this:
Please install CSMG B2C Client Tool" "Select tool ->B2C Client setup
Absolutely discouraging. I wish I could just talk with someone right about now. I am making no progress.
Phone keeps turning on all the way through til the homepage then off again. I actually cant keep it off. It turns on by itself.
adb devices is now recognizing it but it says "offline"
Ideas? Recommendations?
I really appreciate everything so far
Did u run that update tool before running the flash tool?

Thanks cccho. looking into this now looks like it could very well work.
I actually didnt even sleep last night. Havent done that in a long time, I figured I would manage to figure out by morning but I was not even close!
Much love to all who helped.
Hopefully this works.:good:
Actually I have a question... In your link they are using .tot files. I have only ever seen .kdz files for this purpose... Am I safe to follow the procedure with a stock .kdz file?
Thanks
Ok so I have managed to succesfully reinstall the original exact videotron firmware that the phone was running just one day ago.
There is something else going on. Its still rebooting every 10 seconds, whenever there is a text input prompt the cursor goes when I press within the box but the keyboard never appears. Wifi is non functional. Imei is saying "null" now whichI find extremely worrying...
Anybody heard of this before? I would really love to understand what is happening to this seemingly incredibly fragile phone.
Im about ready to toss it in the trash.
It seems like it has a virus or something.
Every now and then during the short glimpses of functioning it undergoes, there is a small grey box that appears near the bottom that says error.
It is not recognising my sim card either.
Please somebody help me out, I am willing to pay for help at this point.
Much love,
Zach
Also, I can never close/lock the screen. If I close it, its a guaranteed reboot. Every signle time. so for the phone to work screen has to stay on. 24 hours ago it was showing absolutely no signs of any of this

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.
Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.

As long as your phone still gets power and pink/blue screen shows there is nothing to be afraid of yet,since this isn't a hardbrick.
Contact me on hangouts telling me what you have done resulting in the above issue.

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.

You've put all steps in one folder?
