Hi, I have a rooted T-mobile Htc One I am running the Google Edition ROM , Earlier I was browsing on my phone through the Google Chrome app, and I guess I ran into a shady website or something, because I was stuck in a clicking loop, and finally I got a YOUR PHONE IS INFECTED, webpage. I couldn't change tabs or anything, and when I got to the home screen I saw a few force closes and maybe stuff getting deleted and added to my phone, that really freaked me out so I restarted my phone and ended up with most of the homesceen stuff deleted, so I went into CWM, and deleted all backups (noob move) and wiped my phone (dalvic cache, cache, factory data reset) Now my phone seems to be okay, but I am still worried, so is there any way I can COMPLETELY wipe my phone, I don't care about losing root.... Also do you think my gmail and other accounts were infected?? Really could use some help especially on the COMPLETELY wiping my phone.
Twrp, wipe, advanced wipe, check everything and wipe. This will erase it all. You will have to adv sideload a Rom. Or, rebootRUU and flash stock file. I assume you are s-off?

Last night I power cycled my phone and put it on my charger. When I woke up this morning and looked at my phone there were a ton of force close screens. I have no phone (cannot make calls) and not data.
I power cycled the phone over and over and have been searching the net all day but cannot get it to work. The only thing that I had done prior to the initial power cycle was a few updates from the market, so I uninstalled those apps, but it appears that was not the problem.
I have root access and was running gumbo's rom (now MaDoCo...thought that would help) and I really don't wanna do a factory reset. Is there anything I can do?
Factory reset is most likely gonna be your only option. If you dont wanna do that, do you still have the .zip for your rom on your mem card? If so, why not just reflash the zip? Might take care of the issue without having to do a hard reset. I am assumingm, though, that if you are rooted you would have created a nandroid backup? Why not just restore?
Tried reflashing the rom and that didn't work. Gonna do a Factory reset now. Lets see
tried factory reset and now i'm stuck on boot screen
Did you ever make a Nandroid backup?? I would suggest you run the Sprint RUU and bring your phone back to Stock, reroot, install recovery, and then a custom ROM. That looks like your best option.
But, just for the hell of it -- take out of your battery and then insert it back in and reboot, see if that does anything.
What kind of factory reset did you do? Wipe from recovery, go through setting, the home>back>power one, or what? And are you stuck at the HTC screen? That happened to me once, but it was because I flashed a GSM rom my first try. Boot into recovery, wipe the phone, and if that doenst do it, I agree with pseodo, time to RUU.
Well I tried resetting from the recovery and wiping, but it will not boot up. Then I tried the RUU, but it wont get past the boot screen in order for me to to connect it to the USB. I tried connecting the USB through recovery and although I can access my SD card via my PC, going through the steps for the RUU says its not connected.
I took my phone over to sprint and although they know I have a custom rom on there (which voided my warranty), they are still gonna give me a brand new one and send mine back through manufacture warranty. It'll be in on Tuesday. Luckily for me I have an online back up through by MyBackUpPro, so I should be good on restoring settings, apps, contacts and all other important stuff. (Minus Root and Custom Rom )
Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
I flashed a new set of icons last week and had a bunch of force closes, restored a nandroid and everything was fine.
I tried to do the lagfix on my phone. I dont know what was meant to happen but I had noticed it ran the creating 1gb file a few times. I restarted the phone and it wouldnt come back up so I done a clear cache and factory reset. I no longer have a boot menu and cant access google market or even sign in to google account to setup the market.
Any ideas? Samsung App store works just fine... Im using wifi.
How can I remove EVERYTHING i just done? How can I make the phone the way it came out of a box?
remove the lagfix if u can then boot into recovery and wipe data and reflash with a stock rom is my suggestion but i don't know much, good luck.
I removed the lag fix, wiped everything and still nothing. Returned the phone to samsung and they reflashed the stock rom as I have no idea where to find the stock rom and Kies wont do it.
Hi I am new to the Android market. I bought a Captivate last May read as many posts on how to flash a new rom to my phone. I flashed Firefly 3.0 to it in June. Everything was fine until a week and a half ago. I'm not sure what caused this, there was an update to TB that I downloaded, but I also deceided to change my boot animation to the Dark Blue. I did this but then deceided I liked the stock theme better and changed it back after a day or so. When the battery was low I put the phone on to charge over night, when I turned the phone on it went in to a boot loop. I put the phone in to recovery and re installed the rom.zip. The phone started to work again but was acting strange, so when I got home I re rooted, flashed back to stock and re installed Firefly 3.0 TB restored the phone, but when I set my ringtone and notifications etc, they would not save after I turned off the phone. I reset all thge ringtones and notifications and they stayed this time but |I now cannot download any apps or update apps, I keep getting out of memory error, even though I have about 11gb of memory on the internal sd and about 6gb on the exteral card. I apologize if this has been covered but I could not find any posts with the exact same issues. I'm reluctant to flash the rom again out of fear that I will have even less memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try, rebooting into recovery. Wipe cache and under advanced, wipe Dalvik cache. Reboot phone and wait while it rebuilds cache. Then go into applications. Find market and wipe data. When restoring from TiBu also make sure your not restoring SYSTEM data when you restore your apps.
Thanks for your help! I was able to download the swype beta again. I can't restore some of my old apps like ebay won't install, but new apps will, can't figure that one out. Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it!
I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.
So my phone has been a little buggy for a while now, nothing major, just kind of annoying so I backed it all up, and went to recovery to wipe and fresh install android. The aroma installer got stuck on wiping cache, so after half an hour I rebooted the phone, and tried to just wipe the partitions from the recovery. same thing, got stuck and I had to reboot. the phone wont boot back up so I guess it was able to wipe the system partition at least, I'm 99% sure its the cache partition thats the problem. I tried both twrp and cwm, and nothing. phone is of course unlocked, and s-off as well. as a side note, I sent my phone in a few months back to have the camera fixed, and they said they replaced the motherboard as well, though when I got it back I was able to wipe the phone no problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Fixed. Mods please delete this. thanks
