UNinstall kies without uninstalling the drivers and do it again.

My phone restarted for no reason today and than it got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 bootscreen.

It's been like this no matter what roms I boot. Cwm and download mode works but nothing i do can get it past the bootscreen. Does anyone have any idea what to do now ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] derberts:
Did you try a full wipe?

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

To get mine into download mode this is what I do:

1- pull battery and put back in

2 - hold volume down + home button + and power button all at the same time

3- when you feel your phone vibrate let go of the power button but continue holding onto volume down + home button until you see the Samsung galaxy sIII screen and then you can let go of the remaining two buttons - you should get into download mode

4 - replace them volume down key with the volume up key if you want to get into recovery

Ive been stuck at the boot screen before and I went into recovery and did a full wipe factory reset and then it worked
[Nexus 4 General] iPhoneNexus:
So I was really impressed by the Galaxy Nexus' design, the curved screen, it looks and feels great in the hand, unlike any other, I tell you. But I had to give up on it because I couldn't live with the purple tint issue (and several other issues). Now that the Nexus 4 is here, only time will tell if it also has some of those weird issues ready to greet you as soon as you open the box. But even if it is perfect in every way, there's one aspect of it that no one has talked about... The Design.

You see, the Galaxy Nexus was a beautifully designed phone (keeping its hardware specs and other issues aside). The Nexus 4 looks like a plain old smartphone (haven't seen it in reality tho, have seen only pictures like most of you guys). It looks like an iPhone tbh (a poorly designed iPhone) :p. The design is a real dealbreaker for me (but that's just me, dunno about anyone else). But still, considering it's the next Nexus phone, and priced at just $299, one may overlook the poor design anyway and get it already (considering there are no issues or challenges like those we saw in several GNex units).

So, what do you think of the design of Nexus 4? Like it in terms of design? Disappointed? Yes, I'm comparing it to the GNex, because it's a successor to that. What about you?
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:
Funny, I see most people talking about how crappy the GNex looked, and how beautiful they think the Nexus4 looks. Personally, I think it looks amazing (albeit the glass back worries me a bit)
[Nexus 4 General] ap3604:
The GNexus looked like #%$! with the curved screen and hump on the back. An OCD'ers worst nightmare!

The Nexus 4 is a slice of heaven compared to the GNexus.
[Nexus 4 General] Matt1408:
The Nexus 4 still has a curved screen, just in a different, far better, way :)
[Nexus 4 General] Jamal Ahmed:
what are you talking about :p GNex and N4 have rhe same front (nearly) xD

and please tell me which part looks like an iPhone?

Softwsre buttons? curved design? bigger size? or the different ratio? :)

imo it is a desinging MASTERPIECE by Matias , including the back and front :)

at 299 dollar im not overlooking the poor design, im getting a desing MUCH better than any phone ever :p
[Nexus 4 General] iPhoneNexus:
Thanks for the replies. Like I said, I have only seen the pictures (well there's your problem!), and I'm comparing it to the GNex (ha, another problem!). But it seems most (if not all) of you fine folks really like the design. Guess I'd like it too, but only after I'll see the phone in person. :D

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...e-bar-for-design-materials-and-build-quality/

As the author of this ^ article puts it right, "Well the Gnex looks like it just walked out of a garbage heap when compared to the N4." Just look at the two side by side.

I feel in love with it in the first sight. Been researching WP8 for the last 4 months. But just one look was enough to tell me, this is it. Mind you, at that time, I didn't even know about the specs..the looks plainly just did it for me..
[Nexus 4 General] Jamal Ahmed:
what if i told you...

not all smartphones are not black? :)
[Nexus 4 General] barmanham:
Pfft this phone is god. Google about time seriously but I will say this its gonna be a major let down if something is wrong with it.

Honestly I never liked Samsung build quality if you squeeze them they creak like a cheap remote control and HTC is not even worth talking about the iPhone 4 has superior build quality then any android phone this looks to be even just as good if not better. If you watch Google demo the phone they know it owns

I'm sure with Samsung they were still call in some shots because Samsung is big now but Google was like screw that plastic **** for 700 dollars or whatever stupid price they charge for a plastic handset
[Nexus 4 General] circleofomega:
exactly. I could never understand the hype around Samsung. They have the cheapest hardware for the most expensive price tag. Somehow it never made any sense to me. This, on the other hand looks classy. The price is perfect and it has a pure Google experience.
[Nexus 4 General] DonDizzurp:
samsung has nice designs/styling with AMAZING marketing. samsung is the apple of the android world

people who know nothing about phones will run around saying the s3 is the best phone ever, without even knowing the spec differences between the s3, one x, nexus 4, etc
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Lol when I first saw the video by verge, matias duarte takes the nexus 4 out from the cover and I swear the god my eyes went like (0.0)

This is the device I was looking for now shut up and take my money
[Nexus 4 General] barmanham:
Not to mention Samsung gimped all the nexus they had its part googles fault but I think mostly Samsung all were worst spec then there counterpart
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Honestly, I think the Nexus 4 takes the top spot of best looking smart phone to date.
[Nexus 4 General] Slap-Yourself :):
I always thought the GNex looked like butt. I think the N4 looks sexxy though. :)
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
No, that crown definitely belongs to Apple with the iPhone 4 design. Even to this day I feel as if it's one of the best looking phones out there.

The nexus 4 is no slacker though. I if you think about it, it's taken a lot of design cues from the iPhone 4 design and improved upon them. Glass on both sides, single band around the sides etc.

[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Well each have their preference. iPhone4 isn't comfortable to hold. I also throw up at any iPhone I see, so there you go.
[Nexus 4 General] Jamal Ahmed:
Nexus 4 didnt take any pointers from iCrap...

the edges of N4 are curved outwards to not bear the brunt on glass...

also, iPhone isnt the only phone with glass/aluminium on its back :p there are alot more phones out there! don tell me apple even patented glass technology:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] dc211:
They are then just black slabs with a little bit of color around them.
[Nexus 4 General] Horridge:
Looks like I'm in the minority camp as well, not really a fan of the N4's appearance. Currently using a white One X and I was hooked straight away by the design, whereas others would say it's horrible and plasticy. We all find different things attractive.
[Nexus 4 General] AttachedSilver:
I loved the nexus ones design, nexus S was whatever, galaxy nexus I was like seriously? & now nexus 4 is just pure awesomeness :thumbup:

[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
You can read my mind OP. The Gnex is the most sexiest phone I've ever had/used/seen! The front of the Gnex, the bordering, its just AMAZING. I love it so much! Plus the amoled screen adds some more beauty to it!

I hate what they did with the front of the Nexus 4 but I love the back. The back sure as hell beats the Gnex but the front, nuh-uh! HATE it!

But anyway, we still can't tell what it looks like as we haven't held it yet.

[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
I really like it. From a pure looks point of view, I always thought the iPhone 4 is the nicest looking phone ever made, followed closely by the Nokia N9. The Galaxy Nexus was a good phone, but it looked like junk to me. The plastics looked and felt cheap, there were creases and gaps all over the shop where various parts met, the lumps and bumps on the back for the camera and chin were pure ugly...

the Nexus 4 looks gorgeous. Completely flat on both sides with the front glass rolling to the edges, covered in a premium material. The edge wrapped in a smooth piece of soft touch plastic and a chrome ring (which I hope is decent quality). Really puts it on par with the big boys IMO
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I think the GNex was gorgeous. The N4 is nice, too, save for the chrome trim (which I expressed elsewhere as being tacky). It's an old styling, and it will be a scratch magnet.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Really like the design, not so sure about the pattern on the back I will have to see when I get it in person. But I like glass on the front and back. Its fine if you are careful with it. My 4 & 4S never smashed/cracked so Im happy :)
[Nexus 4 General] manlisten:
Of course Dan Morrill could just be shilling but the more I read the more I love what I hear about this phone's design.

As the title says, I am really stupid and flashed a ROM before unlocking my bootloader. I had just rooted and that step completely crossed my mind.

When I try to boot, I get a screen that says: "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."

I have flashed CM10 before, but I recently cracked the screen on my phone and had it replaced with a new one. I have tried booting into recovery mode, which I is Volume up, home, and power I believe, I see a screen that says Samsung and has small blue text on the top left of the screen that says: "Recovery Booting..." but then it goes back to the error screen.

I've done 3 warranty exchanges, I never reset the counter. I can say however, go over your refurb that they send you with a fine tooth comb. Half the time the refurbs have little quirks.
