Hello
Searched a little bit, but not finding much. Im rooted, running the latest tekhd. I have to encrypt my phone for work. I got it all set up and running the encryption process. When I start the encryption process, the phone reboots and just keeps going, no progress bar, no little Android man, I keep just seeing the startup Android for dots. Is that what's supposed to happen? That lasted 4 hours and nothing happened. I ended up doing a battery pull, then I kept getting a message on startup that encryption process was interrupted , & I had to factory reset my phone. I also kept getting a system UI crash message . Then I Odin'd my phone back to stock and I updated to the latest version of tekHD and I am attempting the encryption process again. It's been running for over an hour and a half the same way it did yesterday. I'm concerned that the encryption process is stuck and not actually occurring.
I don't have a ton of data, lost a lot because of having Odin back to stock. Any insight that anybody has would be appreciated.

Hi,
About two weeks ago, after running out of battery completely, my phone started rebooting once I charged it back. It boots without a problem, and I'm able to use for about 15 seconds, then it reboots. I'm able to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset, which apparently fixes the problem, but then I can't update to sense 6. Once the update fails, the rebooting problem returns. So I had basically given up updating. However, today, after turning off the phone to charge it, it started rebooting again after I turned it on.
I read a couple threads and imo the problem is a mix of these two:

My device has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
Please help.
@alray I started a new thread, since the problems were a little different. If you can continue to help, it will be very much appreciated.
I absolutely hate creating yet another thread, but I've tried everything I can and I'm stuck. I was up until 4am (no lie) last night and been at it again for hours tonight. So... here are the symptoms.
Multiple bootloops/reboots at any of the following points:
1) "Preparing device" with the "Please wait" animation.
2) Force close: Unfortunately, Setup has stopped.
3) Force close: process.com.android.systemui has stopped.
4) Force close: Google search has stopped.
5) Bootloop at the bootloader warning message
Usually, the boot animation doesn't even start. Often, I'll see the "Bootloader Unlocked" warning message, then the Moto logo, then it cycles back through any of the above fail points. Sometimes, it'll stay on the bootloader warning message the whole time and then jump directly to the lock screen.
All of this started after unlocking my brand new Moto X Pure Edition and then attempting to use the "Multi-tool" to root. Or...maybe it was after trying to root using one of the Chainfire images. I can't recall. After doing so, wifi stopped working (wouldn't turn on). So, I tried (using the tool again) to flash back to stock. At that point things strange things started happening (force closes). I then tried flashing to stock and immediately flashing the OTA (all via fastboot). When I booted up, Lollipop setup wouldn't load, it'd bootloop, come back and maybe I could get to the next screen, but wifi would be dead. Or I'd get wifi to work, but it'd crash after accepting Google privacy terms.
So, after all of that, I decided I would just revert back to stock. At that point I tried a number of options including what I think is the likely best bet, @SolarTrans guide here. Oh, and somewhere along the line I flashed TWRP 2.8.3 and flashed one of the custom ROMs (LiquidSmooth). It booted, but was very unstable and also threw the same/similar systemui force close messages, occasionally would lose wifi or begin force closing like crazy. Makes me think I have a bigger issue since it happens regardless of ROM/firmware. I also tried graffixnyc's images. So... yeah... just want to get back to stock.
I've been doing this stuff with Android for many years. Not a newbie by any means. Completely comfortable using fastboot or adb command line. I'm just at a loss and feel that it's likely I'll have to send it back to Motorola. I can get into the bootloader no problem. Everything else is a toss up. The last time I flashed files via the SolarTrans guide, it eventually loaded up the home screen (after many bootloops), but wifi wasn't working and I got a strange Moto message about reverting the sensors firmware or update. I rebooted and it never booted again, so I erased cache and userdata via fastboot. That didn't help. I just flashed the original firmware again and it spent a good 20/30 minutes bootlooping before getting to the setup screens. I skipped everything. Then it bootlooped at the home screen.
Open to suggestions!
Edit 1:
Pretty much anything causes the phone to bootloop, but I was able to get a screenshot of the baseband, kernel, build, etc. It bootlooped, but worked the second time around. I think I just made things way worse by trying to turn on bluetooth. It's just bootlooping over and over. Gonna try and get some sleep!
So, before bed, I flashed the OTA from the SolarTrans thread. It booted up, threw some errors and then once I connected to wifi it bootlooped. It did this for at least 10 minutes before I plugged the phone in and went to bed. When I woke up this morning, it was sitting on the setup screen. No errors. I signed in to my Google account and it restored all my apps. I rebooted. Still no problems. Just before leaving for work, I noticed that Dropbox wasn't installed. I installed it, signed in and then it bootlooped. After that...no luck. Kept rebooting. So, I brought the phone to work and left it on my desk for a few hours. It bootlooped or hung on the bootloader unlocked warning screen for at least 3 hours. I wiped cache. Same thing. Just now, I wiped userdata and rebooted. It went through the setup process without errors. Began restoring my apps and then froze. I manually restarted and now... no dice. Bizarre.

So, what was the problem then? The Dropbox app? Why is that?
No. Don't think so. It was just the trigger. I'm convinced any app would have eventually caused the bootloop.
I tried one more clean install of the official image straight from Motorola last night. Same results. So, I've initiated a return/repair.

Have they accepted repairing your device even with unlocked bootloader and root?
Sent from my XT1097 using XDA Free mobile app
They acknowledged that I'd unlocked the phone (it was logged in the record when they looked up my phone by IMEI), though I said I did so while trying to fix it (in order to wipe partitions and flash images which I also requested via their developer resources page).
They're sending a replacement phone without any push back at all. Honestly, I expected to send it in for repair. The rep said the standard protocol was to issue me a pin to order a new phone (mine is a customized Moto Maker model with a bamboo back).
Just so you're aware, unlocking the bootloader on Pure Edition phones does not void the warranty.
So, a replacement should be in my hands in about a week, I'm told. The phone was still within the initial month and so they're sending a brand new phone.

So I bought a LG G2 today and all was fine until it asked if I wanted to do an OTA. I figured, why not its COMPLETELY stock. The only thing I did to the phone was a factory reset when I bought it then connected to my wifi and updated all the stock apps to the updated version. At that point it asked me if I wanted to perform the OTA so I hit Install now. It went through 1/2 with no problem but on 2/2 of the update it gets to 13% and brings me to a screen with a blue line over about 1/4 inch of the top of the screen and gives about 15 lines of files or directories that are not found. It acts like a bad flash. I have tried a hard reset and still brings me to the update screen after I select Yes twice. My pc's (yes multiple) will not even acknowledge its there. How can this happen on a completely stock verizon phone with a factory verizon OTA?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
10 of the errors start with FOTAFS_Open /system/lib/librs.
There different from there on. The rest of the errors are the cache partition.
Like I said to me it sounds like a bad flash but what now? I'm stumped!
I have a stock AT&T G6, got it when the phone first came out, and I haven't touched the firmware. Update after update, no problems.
Finally this morning my phone had enough - I performed a system update. However during the reboot, the phone froze for 30 minutes on the AT&T logo. Nothing changed.
Reset phone, nothing changed, 15 minutes no change. Reset phone to recovery mode - wipe cache - reset phone. Same thing - stuck at AT&T logo.
Finally I had enough - I did a full Factory reset. AT LAST! After 8 painful minutes stuck at the AT&T logo, my phone came to life and welcomed me to my new phone (FML).
So here I am with a freshly loaded copy of my new Nougat 7.0 software on my AT&T Build ( NRD90M.G920AUCS6EQF1 ) and I am desperately trying to run every possible data recovery option possible.
I WANT to recover my photos and SMS messages before I start using my phone. But I can't - every app I've run shows no results. Everything I'm seeing shows I need to root this phone to make it work.
Unfortunately I have no clue htf to do that. Every instruction I find online does not include my build version. My phone is turned off and not used until I recover this data. I would appreciate any help I can get in recovering this data!

No known root for current builds to my knowledge. Don't know if anyone is still picking away at it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Development on this device has been almost silent for many months.

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T2. In january of this year i upgraded it to 6.0.1 (N910TUVU2EQI2) from 4.4.4(N910T2UVU2AOG1) using the SM-N910T firmware for the upgrade, everything was working perfectly but the day before yesterday i wanted to perform a wipe cache because the phone was being a bit laggy. after the wipe cache was perform and i hit the reboot, the recovery got stucked on Verifying DMhash tree. so after 30 minutes i took the battery out and powered on my phone, the problem is: The phone started to freeze, reset it self even the process system crashed. I read that downloading the Wake Lock power management helps and it did but i didn't want to use this app forever so i downgraded back to 4.4.4 it's original firmware, it does run better but now my phone reboots itself and it freezes just a little bit. Also i've got the Process system is not responding do you want to close it?
Things i've done so far:
1- Reflashed 4.4.4, 3 times, i've done wipes before reflashing and after. Nothing
2-Flashed TWRP wiped everything, repaired the file system, Flashed the stock again (4.4.4) nothing.
I'm not going back to 6.0.1.
Do i have to buy a new phone or maybe a new rom with a kernel will help ?

All i can say is your phone mmc chip is about to die soon or later you will get mmc_read failure message and your phone wont be able to boot into the system and you won'tbe able to flash anything.
My best suggestion is sell it ASAP.

I came across the mmc_read failure before I realized it was happening and have been researching ways to at least verify there was nothing important on the device before retiring it to Samsung heaven.
Instead of useful advice, everyone seems to be spouting "sell it ASAP" as though it doesn't make you trash as a person to attempt selling it as any sort of working device. The inclusion of "ASAP" and lack of "with a disclaimer" tends to suggest they aren't recommending you actually tell anyone about the issue.
Good advice would be to back up everything you can now and begin looking for a new device. You could attempt to sell it for parts, but make sure to inform people of the situation. If it is that close to failure, chances are it will still be well within the 30 day return policy on most sites and they always favor the buyer. Your device is already ruined, but there is no reason to destroy your reputation with it.
