I use System Tuner Pro, one click. Worked for removing the lock symbol on bootup, after rooting.

Hold volume up, home, and power button... when you feel the vibrate, release power button... when you see blue recovery text at top of screen release the other two... wait for recovery... follow on screen instruction to select and delete and reboot.

System tuner worked great. The other methods I believe only wipes cache, not dalvik cache. I know because when I use the stock recovery to wipe cache, it doesn't do the Android is upgrading notification.

Long waiting times for boot ups! Galaxy Note.

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?

[SOLVED]Device stuck in bootloop

Hey guys,
Regardless of my low post count, I'm not a noob when it comes to rooting\unlocking\flashing. With that being said, I've run into a few problems with my Nexus 4. I was making a nandroid backup of my most recent CM 10.1 nightly and decided to flash back to stock rooted in order to fix my bluetooth issues. When attempting to restore, I received an error stating that my MD5 sum didn't match. This happened to all but one of my backups and it would old restore part of my data before failing on the "working" backup. It would boot just fine, but it was basically a factory image and none of my downloaded applications restored execpt the icons. I realized that this image was pretty unstable so I took it one step further..... I decided to restore to factory stock by flashing the factory images from google (I snagged a copy before google pulled them). I ran the flash-all.bat and it restored everything with no issues.....but now it gets stuck on the nexus "X" during boot. I left it for about an hour and it's still on the "X". At this point, I decided to relock the bootloader and call google.
I realized that something is probably corrupt so I called Google and got an RMA but I won't get a new phone until LG makes more Nexus 4's (Nexi?, lol).
Does anyone have any ideas what could have happened? ANy ideas on how to fix this? I'd much rather fix this damn thing instead of going thru the RMA process.
Boot into stock recovery, clear cache and factory reset. You'll be up and running.

Maybe I'm more of a newb than I realize, lol.
How do I do that via stock rocovery? I just have the red triangle. I know how to do that in Team Win and CWM, but not in stock.
Boot into the bootloader by holding volume down and power.
Use the volume key to toggle to recovery and press power to select.
When you see the exclamation. Press volume up and power to open the recovery menu.
Then clear cache and factory reset.

I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader again and flashed CWM touch in the meantime. I cleared cache and reset. Same result. It's just hanging on boot.
No you need to do this in the stock recovery.

If I knew who you were......i'd kiss ya. Thanks man. It's fixed.
Now, just out of curiousity, why does that only work in stock recovery instead of a custom recovery?
Not entirely sure. The stock recovery wipe clears everything including data/media/
There also seems to be an issue with the bootloader not properly wiping the device. Hopefully they can fix the bug in a future update.
No kiss needed. Just a thanks and a virtual high five will do.

I see what you mean about not wiping everything.....after all the wiping and flashing, it still had my same custom wallpaper from my CM 10.1 ROM when it booted. Weird.
Thanks again.
That's not because of something not getting wiped.
Its because your wallpaper syncs to Google. It's auto downloaded and applied when signing in for the first time.

[Q][HELP] Cannot start after switching to ART (stock ROM)

I have stock ROM, not unlocked, not rooted.
Have just OTA updated to Android 4.4. It was successful.
After that I tried to switch runtime to ART. The first reboot was successful. But runtime is still Dalvik. So I tried to switch to ART again.
Now it cannot bootup. It stucked with the four-color-circle.
I tried fastboot mode. But still cannot start.
Is it totally bricked? What can I do next? I think I haven't enabled USB debugging...
You can get into the stock recovery and try clearing cache or if that fails then try factory reset.

Factory reset will wipe all your data, wipe cache will clear the apps cache so hopefully it will it fix it. Instruction to get into recovery here.

I go to the recovery mode, it says "No command".
With stock recovery once you see the android with the red exclamation you need to press power and volume up at the same time to see the commands. It's a little tricky and it might take a few tries but it does work

Phone wont boot up

so i installed CWM on my verizon G2. I went into recovery and wiped data. When it was formatting cache, it looked like it froze because it was taking forever. So i held the power button down so that i can reboot it. Now whenever i try to boot it back up, it stays on the LG screen for a couple minutes and stays on the ground zero roms boot up screen. Is there a way to get into recovery from boot? I've flashed many ROM's on many phone but i need help please so i can get my phone back up and running. Thank you

Turn phone off
Hold power and volume down until lg logo comes on then release and hold power and volume down again until you get into recovery.

That doesn't work for me. I keep getting the factory hard reset screen.
I've flashed things in recovery but I'm always gotten into it from a booted Rom

Yes. You will get the factory screen. Do it. Press the power button twice. Trust me it will boot into cwm.
This is twrp but watch this video I made if you have doubt's. If you properly installed cwm which you probably did considering you wiped your data. This will work.

[Q] wifi issues - stock 4.4.2

my nexus 4 has an issue, where it connects to my wifi but it just doesn't work, as in web browser doesn't load any pages, play store doesnt work.
i've read numerous threads about many nexus 4 users having these problems but haven't found the solution. if anyone can provide me some help with a solution. im on stock 4.4.2
Have you tried wiping the cache partition on recovery? Also is it only with one WiFi network?

Might wanna try to set the frequency to 2,4ghz only. Some routers don't like if it's set to automatic.

Have you tried wiping the cache partition? It doesn't require root. If that doesn't work try factory reset. Then take it back or flash CyanogenMod (which will void warranty).

am i right in assuming i can only wipe my cache through an app? if that's the case it doesnt change anything.
i've tried to enter recovery mode, but i don't think i can as im not on a custom kernel. please correct me if im wrong.
and should the latest cyanogenmod suffice? or would you recommend a specific build?

You don't need a custom kernal.
This is from an email from Google regarding my nexus 7, it should be the same:
Hold the*Power Button*until the device powers down completely.Press and hold*Power Button*and*Volume Downsimultaneously.Once at the Android bootloader screen, pressVolume down*until you see the option*Recovery mode.Press*Power*button to restart into*Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.While holding down the*Power button, pressVolume Up.Use the Volume keys to scroll down to*wipe cache partition*and press*Power*Button*to select it. The device should clear the cache instantly.*Select and press the*Power Button*on*Reboot System Now, then see if the issue is resolved.
I used the CyanogenMod installer and then I switched to the nightly builds after a nandroid backup.
