It will not unfreeze them. You will need to factory reset.

Okay, thanks. Factory reset is what got me in this in the first place. (Well, not the first place, but it's what I can't get out of!) is not changing anything. I still can't get any further in setup than one screen past wifi (it just continues to check whatever it is it's checking. It's not frozen and it doesn't loop, it just doesn't move on. Pressing next/skip produces a sound/feedback but doesn't move on) Oh well, it was worth a try.

If you're rooted, factory reset will not work. You will need the KDZ file to wipe your phone, which is currently in the works.
If you actually got it to boot, then you're fine. That "activating" screen sometimes takes several minutes. Just be patient.

Peeptastic said:
Thank you for helping. I don't actually make it to an activating screen. I just get one step past wifi (if I keep wifi on it gets caught in updating system. If I turn wifi off it gets caught in just a sec). It will "load" (lack of better term) for 1-3 hours. I did discover that I can receive phone calls while stuck in the screen. And I can hear when I get a text message, although I can't check it. But that makes sense if I can't factory reset a rooted phone....

Try removing battery and trying to boot again. If your phone was rooted, that''s possibly your problem.

I'm not sure if the batter y is supposed to be out for an extended period of time. Or plugged in(?) I have done that as well as remove the sim card. No progress.
Oh and data works as well though I don't always have good reception where I'm at.

So what you're saying is that you're still stuck on that screen, but all of the phones functions work? Hm, that is very strange.

Yep! Sprint connections optimizer popped up. I was able to hit a link from there and access chrome. I wasn't signed in to wifi though. Also, whenever something closes, the screen goes back to setup. I don't have access to the task bar or the soft keys (besides back). Someone else on the forum had a similar problem and looks like it was solved with kdz. So there is hope.

I think I may be seeing something related to what you're seeing (though I'm not starting over from a Factory Reset). Ever since taking the root flash, my wifi isn't connecting to my home router anymore.
I was just about ready to do a Factory Reset to see if that fixed it, but now it doesn't look like that'll help.

During the initial setup after factory reset, when you get to the wifi setup screen can you just skip over the wifi setup? Is it possible your wifi isn't working (mine isn't either) and as long as you keep attempting to connect you'll never get past that step in the initial setup process?
i need zv4 rooted system file, i'll root the phone using the zv4 file and will do OTA , thn will get the update.zip for ZV5.
if any one have zv4 rooted system file pl share.

Good day,
As of about two days ago my Captivate (rooted, side loading enabled) would get stuck "obtaining address" when trying to hook up to wifi. It does this with my home access point as well as municipal wifi. It says "obtaining address" for about 3-5 minutes then says "could not connect" or similar.
I tried uninstalling all recent apps - no dice. I just reset my Captivate first through the settings menu and then through the volume buttons/power button method. It still is not working. Any ideas? Should I return it for another one? Since I did a total factory reset twice, I don't see how it can be a software problem... then again, I am new to Android.
Thanks, gents and ladies.
If you are within 30 days, I'd return.

Is there anything I should do besides having already reset the phone - so as not to void the warranty? The rooting and sideloading mods should be undone now, right?
Thanks for the help.
See if you can manually set an IP address. Sounds like DHCP is having issues for some reason.
Also, I am not certain but I think I remember reading that even a factory reset might leave remnant files around. Do a search (I am too lazy) and if I am right, look into wiping the phone and then reseting it.

Rooting your phone voids your warranty. Have you done a Odin one click restore back to JFS 6 stock. That should fix your issue, and if it doesn't you know you probably need to return the phone.

We need an SBF. There appears to be a new signing method for the protected partitions that causes even the signed partitions pulled from the phone to softbrick if you flash them back to the device with fastboot.

I'm in a similar situation ...because I'm dumb. I can't receive txts, or even make an emergency call.
Anybody know what is the cost for repair? I recognize that it will not be under warranty, and I may need to pay a penalty besides - which is completely sad, because in my dumbness I made a complete tar backup of the system and know what needs to be restored to fix it. It would take less than five minutes if I had access to the system. It is entirely the bootloader and inability to access the file system that is stopping me from fixing it.
Except, in my panic, adrenalin, and stupidity, after having broken it I then proceeded to factory reset. It's now trying to activate, and failing. I cannot get into AB Load mode, because debugging is now turned off.
Sad thing is, with the radio fix to let hotspots work - which worked beautifully - I had little reason other than bloat removal to root it at all.

You can bypass the activation screen by tapping the upper left, upper right, lower left, then lower right corners. Then you can re-enable USB debugging mode.

Progress!
I'm now in a sort of mini setup. However, it still fails at a location services consent checkbox list (with com.motorola.setup)
This mini-setup was able to setup wifi and a google account, and I can read google email (when it comes in and notifies me) and from there click a URL and go to the browser. I can access the setup of each of those programs as well. But I can go from there to a general settings list, and hitting "Home" returns to the location services consent checkbox, which fails and doesn't progress.
Thanks for the help though, even if I don't succeed....

So I have screwed up pretty bad and now tried fixing the problem myself before asking for help.
Earlier I flashed Android Revolution HD 12.3 to finally realize that I didnt work with sprint, however I forgot to make a back-up for my phone. I have tried using adb sideload to install viper's rom v1.1.0 via TWRP. After the flash is complete and I click reboot, I get an error saying "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
If I swipe to reboot, I end up with a black screen with a toolbar at the top. I am totally lost and have been searching to forums for hours on end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have been able to get viperROM to boot to the startup screen, however with a minute or so I get an error which states "Precess system is not responding, would you like to close it?" Then my phone restarts to the black screen.
You messed up your partitions by flashing that rom. From bootloader select factory reset to get your partitions back and then sideload your sprint rom and you should be set.
Or this method will work too.

I tried the first method and didnt have any luck. I did notice that when looking through the install folder, the .zips are no longer listed. However, when the phone turns on for a few seconds and I am able to open files through my PC, they are listed there.
Second method got me to the startup screen. As I attempted to connect to wifi, I had no phone service and also there was an error connecting to wifi due to "temporarily avoiding poor connection". Then the phone instantly restarted back to a black screen.

You're lucky the partitions aren't aligned in a way that your hboot was overwritten. Otherwise you'd have a brick instead of a phone.

I know, I really lucked out. Took a solid 14+ hours of research and trial and error to figure out how to fix it. I had rooted my old evo 4G a few times thinking I still knew what I was doing, but that was a while ago. I should have definitely took some extra time to do some more research before I flashed.
This is why i don't flash roms from another section even though some have sprint version i just don't trust them

Well, I was browsing around the market and my n5 just abruptly shut itself off. It hasn't been able to turn back on since. I've tried every key/charge/magic trick in the book so its DEAD!
Happy to jump in the RMA line at this point but was wondering if any others can confirm DEAD devices. The RMA thread is kinda full of nitpick issues but a dead device is a dead device.
This was the only discussion chain I could find on the issue but maybe someone from google will comment on dead devices. lol

so it appears holding down both volume buttons + power while it's plugged in to the charger (not USB to PC) will temporarily boot the phone. You can then do a restore to stock and issue gets fixed. :good:

Ya I got an RMA setup but I've been tryin to turn it on ever since. I managed to figure out it will turn on ONLY when it's plugged in and holding down BOTH volume buttons and power. It will bring up the bootloader and from there I can go into recovery, START (os) but reboot options freeze it again. It's really weird, it won't start by doing the same procedure without the power plugged in. It's like it doesn't want to boot on its own cuz it thinks it's dead? Funny thing is the battery says 100%+ in TWRP.
Since I was able to get it booted tethered to the power I'm going to have it drain the battery to dead and see if it resets itself or something. Maybe a bad idea but I guess I don't care at this point it's already RMAd and I don't know what else to try. lol

my only other suggestion would be to re-flash. you could try just the system partition, but if it were me i would just go all in for full clean flash.

these random issues usually come from a corrupt file, either by an update or some other means. its hard to impossible to pinpoint the cause usually.
if you never flashed before, its best to read up on it a bit first. wugs walks you through the steps, from downloading the files, and drivers, to the flashing. its not foolproof, but if you follow the lead of the script, its not hard to figure out.

clearing the cache is always a good idea, i think i suggested that earlier.
i dont know how to explain well what cache is exactly, its not part of the file system, its more like temp data storage i believe.

def of cache from google
"In cell phones and networks, a cache usually refers to a memory storage area in the phone or network that stores copies of information that is likely to be needed in the near future, so it can be accessed faster."

thats pretty consistent with what i said earlier. these type of issues frequently arise after updates. files dont update exactly right and something gets corrupted.

i decided to call T-Moblie and talk to them they told me to take it to a store and get it dianogsed and they will call to get it replaced since it is the 64GB and stores don't have it.... I just want the Wi-Fi to work even though i don't use it all the time but still.
