solution to bootloop problem

I had the same problem with my SM-T110, there is an excellent guide from a sr xda developer posted about in one of honai of androids blogs (I cant post links yet but just ho to his blog page its listed there. It has step by step instructions and links to root junky s how to video. I accidentally flashed the 211 fw to mine, it worked ok but I ran into a wifi issue and had to re flash and reroot several times (Hint, make sure to follow proper key method , vol dn home pwr, then vol up, or u boot into factory recovery, its all in the video). It uses cwm and an easy root process, done right takes abt 15 min. Factory firmware links are there too
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
Thats why u create a backupbefore using triangle away then if it bricks just restore
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
It seems like you don't know what a brick is.

It's when your phone dissent respond to anything, no matter how long you hold the power key or anything

And to restore from back up, you need to boot to recovery

If you are able to bout to anything (recovery/download/os) your phone is not bricked
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
there is hard brick and soft brick. resetting the flash counter will only cause a soft brick. Hard brick is when it wont turn on.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
And what is soft brick?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
when it wont boot but goes to logo.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
What logo? Boot animation?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
no the samsung logo before the animation
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
And if it's stuck there, how would you boot to recovery or download?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
restart and hold the buttons like normal it will boot. I have bricked my tab alot. i have always been able to restore. I use TWRP instead of cwm

but still the same process. power+home+vol up when it turns on release the power and keep holding the other 2. it will boot in to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
Can you provide link for twrp for sm-t211
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] zach61797:
I Can give the link for the t210

How do you do a complete backup without rooting? News on how to do this would make me more confident to try this. I want to save my warranty as I have not decided that this device is a keeper yet.

but for this to work i had to root the device.

i used kingo androi root and now got stuck in a boot loop where it shows just the galaxy tab logo and thats it...

please i need help to restore the tablet or my girlfriend is really killing me....

thanks for your help
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sscsps:
If you are still not fixed then try flashing cwm again, it will fix the issue and you will be booted to android

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Well, if you want to root your tab then there's other way,

Flash cwm and then install supersu update zip (search both on XDA and you will find them)

This is the easiest way to root any phone, all you need to find is supported cwm for phone you want to root

In My information, you can not recover things after a factory reset, but yeah, you can go ahead and try the process you found, if it works then would you please share it?

Hope this help! :)

Hit thanks if I helped

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nicene Nerd:
I recently tried Slim Bean on my Epic 4G Touch. It is nice, but I get no data. I am flashed to Page Plus, so I know to expect oddities. I have tried a number of modems with no success. I checked my data settings with *#*#DATA#*#* but found that several values were not set. I wanted to try to reset them over diag mode, but unfortunately these scripts are not working for me. I also tried using the Edit button in the hidden menu, but the I receive a "Modem Exception occurs" error.

Does anyone have any helpful info? Some of the TouchWiz roms aren't bad, but I would like to be able to use AOSP and still have data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezie42:
Use a cm10 rom from around March of last year. I use wild for the night by dastin.

Then there are scripts you can run in a terminal. That's how I always do it at least.
[HTC One X] c4llum:

[Moto X Q&A] amuench:
My girlfriend just got a Moto X from the holiday sale last week. She bought an AT&T branded devices so she could use it on Straight Talk.

It works fine on the network, but the OTA updates would just not work at ALL. Every time it wanted to update, it would ask to be on the wi-fi network, which it already was. And if we ever got a progress bar, it just said "Will Resume when on Wi-Fi" and showed a 0% progress for over an hour.

Motorola support was utterly useless, they hung up on us, TWICE, after 2+ hours of phone calls, and the third time the level two technician, who we were told could force the update, told us we could factory reset the phone to make it work.

After THAT failed, he told us we could just mail it back to Motorola and they'd install the update themselves. At that point I just used RSD Lite to flash the 4.4 stock firmware, because it was much faster than waiting two weeks for the same thing. Now I'm not sure if the OTA updates are working still, but she's been unable to download the new boot services or active notifications apps, which makes me thing there are still problems with it.

Anyone else have these issues with OTA updates? Specifically with the AT&T variant?

Anything would be helpful!
[Moto X Q&A] soxfan37:
I am having the same problem on an AT&T model purchased from the holiday sale. I tried the factory reset suggestion and that didn't work. I am actually on the phone with level two support right now hoping for a solution. I will post a follow up if anything works to resolve this issue.
[Moto X Q&A] gtg465x:
I updated two Moto X's to 4.4 with no problems at the beginning of the month, but I had this same issue this past weekend when my latest Moto X arrived and I tried to update it. I finally got the update to download by tethering to my other phone instead of using my home Wi-Fi. Sucked that it used my AT&T data, but at least it worked. I researched it a bit and apparently some Motorola Android phones have had this issue before. Others said it will eventually download if you just leave it, but it could take a while. Pretty sure it's an issue with Motorola's update servers because a bunch of people will report it at once and factory resetting doesn't help.
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
I haven't had this issue but you can always just download the OTA manually and sideload it with adb.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] amuench:
Okay, as much as it sucks, it's somewhat comforting to hear that others are having the issue as well.

Since it was new out of box, and all Moto Support wanted to do was install it at their factory, we just used RSD Lite and pushed the 4.4 factory image.

We just wound up flashing the 4.4 Factory Image from RSD Lite in the end. Is there a good repo for OTA zips for ATT though? I found one for an earlier update listed here in XDA (the one that brought some camera fixes), but I couldn't find any other stock OTA zips that could be applied via stock recovery outside of that one.

If support doesn't help (they were pretty sucky towards us), you can use RSD Lite to apply the factory 4.4 image to the phone without any modifications
[Moto X Q&A] 69OldZman:
Tmobile version not updating either

I have the Tmobile variant. Its not taking the update either. Two different ways its prompting and not working. The first is I have a notification that the update will begin when I'm on wifi. I'm on wifi and it never starts. After reboot, I check the 'about phone', --system updates. "It tells me an update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete."

Waiting and waiting.....
[Moto X Q&A] soxfan37:
After my second call yesterday, level two escalated me to level three. They called me this morning, (they don't take incoming calls) and the rep pushed the update to my phone. It took about 10 minutes and then the update started downloading. After a reboot I was then able to download the kitkat update. So now all is well. One of the reps at level two said he tried pushing the update to me (on Monday) but it didn't work. I guess level three has more power. Anyway, it did resolve my issue.

Good luck to the rest of you with this problem and Happy Holidays to the community.

Xm nor faux will work on sense 5 ! They are sense 4 kernels. Only custom kernel atm is Alex V kernel.

Try to reduce frequencies in the trickster mod app (playstore) reduce them to 1300 or even lower. And maybe reducing the cores to 2 helps a bit. Don't know if it enough but worth to try.

Why not design a bigger physical frame and slap in a bigger battery to accommodate the higher end specs? I'm sure a lot of Nexus 5 users can agree.

I don't know, but I'll say this. I get as good, if not better, battery life than I did with the Galaxy S4 using a ZeroLemon 3000mah battery.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
I have no qualms about the battery - it does more than enough for me and I can get a days use with around 40% left at night

I think those who are good with the battery must be using an HSPA network
[Nexus 5 General] cc16177:
I dont need a bigger battery and if they had to make the phone larger to accommodate it I would stick with what I have now.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
This. My battery life is definitely better than it was with my S4, which has a bigger battery. I'm a happy camper. If Google had stuck a bigger battery in the N5, we'd have 472 threads complaining that the phone is too thick.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Possibly, as I'm only on 3G until next year, but my colleague on 4G with a Nexus 5 has no issues with battery either - and he uses his phone a LOT more than I do!

The issue here is all down to an individuals usage patterns and apps in use. I literally only use Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, G+, Hangouts (for the odd SMS), BT Sport/Sky Go for the Football and the phone itself - that's it! I don't play games and rarely watch video bar the odd YouTube moment when on the toilet! :D
[Nexus 5 General] 95Z28:
While I'm happy with my N5 and regularly make it through 2 days on a charge due to excellent standby time, the screen on time is slightly disappointing. My G'Nex saw 5½ hours SOT regularly when new, whereas the N5 is usually 4-4½. I know the N5 is a more powerful phone all around with a slightly larger screen, but the battery is also considerably larger capacity and you kind of expect 2 year newer technology to be better in EVERY respect, not worse in battery life.

With that said by the time I got my N5 my G'Nex was only averaging 2½ hours SOT a charge (don't know if the battery was just wearing out or newer android versions just drained more and more), so the 5 does feel like a good increase. Overall though 4 hours SOT and only charging every other day is perfectly acceptable to me.
[Nexus 5 General] harlenm:
Nexus5 has a similar sized battery as the HTC One(my last phone), and this far surpasses the One in battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] nrvate:
1) Greatly reduced idle power consumption

2) LTE envelope tracking

3) Improved power efficiency of the Snapdragon 800-series chips

Once you stop all the poorly written software you have on your device from keeping the device awake, hogging CPU and/or keeping GPS active, the N5 has amazing battery life.

I have 3 google accounts + facebook + google voice + linkedin + google plus, on AT&T LTE, and my idle consumption is <1%/hr, for over 100 hours standby time.

1 hour of screen on time / day = 75-80% remaining when I go to bed, assuming I haven't plugged the device in at all, and didn't use GPS.

I get better battery life on LTE networks -- less awake time waiting on background data, envelope tracking and better coverage (AT&T has done a great job with 700mhz LTE in Austin)

Beats all my previous droids by a large margin.
[Nexus 5 General] Lokitez:
The Nexus 5 battery gets me through the day without any issues. Even then, I have wireless chargers on my office desk, my home desk, and my nightstand, so keeping it powered is not an issue.

When I do need more juice, I have an 11,000 mAh battery pack.

The thing with a larger phone for battery life is that you always have to take that with you, no matter how much juice you will be using. With the Nexus 5, I have a battery that meets my daily usage patterns and I can carry extra power when I need it.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:

Coming from an iPhone 5, I'm more than happy with the battery life of my nexus 5. Haven't even done any battery saving tweaks yet, even have auto brightness on. This sucker rocks! I'm sure I'll eventually get into saving the battery usage, but just saying that for now, it still beats my iPhone 5 in everything so far. :)

Recently I wanted to transfer a few files between the two, and had everything turned off on the iPhone except for WiFi, and my nexus just like normal (Bluetooth on, WiFi, cell, etc). I was impressed to see the nexus 5 STILL last longer than my iPhone 5.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:

If I'm out and about I won't be playing games anyway, so in that regard I still love the phone. And wow, the bandwagon thing again...you guys are hilarious.

Even at lowest brightness settings with all radios off, there is physically not a large enough battery to produce 7 hours of screen-on time with the internals and display of the Nexus 5.

Google + just straight-up murdered my battery, and I don't even use it. Even disabling sync for Google + and Google Photos didn't help, so I finally ended up just disabling the app. The downside is that I can't use Photos now, which will be a problem when Gallery goes away.
