General :: Android Shows Custom Boot Menu As If Rooted?
Mar 22, 2014
I have a Samsung S4 - US Verizon - SCH-i545 Build VRUEMK2. It is currently on version 4.3. I've done some research on rooting my device recently but have not gone through with the procedure. In my research, I've read that once you root your device the boot menu will come up with an unlocked deadbolt symbol and a message that reads something about a Custom Rom.
What's tripping me out is that recently I started my phone and it shows the Custom with unlocked deadbolt on screen, but I have NOT rooted my device. What the heck is going on? Could my equipment be compromised? Are there known apps that would change the boot menu on the S4.... I'm at a loss here and whenever I google this I just find instructions for rooting...

On previous phones such as the Droid Eris and Droid 1, users were able to use custom boot animations without being rooted. All you had to do was push the new file to the boot animation location and it would over ride the old one. I really want custom boot animations on my X but am not rooted. Does anyone know a solution to this other than rooting and how to install without being rooted?

my daughter's LGL55C will not go to boot menu. i just spent an hour on the phone with straight talk, and they basically said 'we tried everything.. of course the warranty is up. i have tried volume up, power, menu, and various combinations - including the camera key. when i go to the website, the phone pictured there is not the phone she owns. ?? the website says 'samsung' - hers says 'LG.' the power button is shown on the right top of the phone, hers is on the left top. she's 18 and liable to croak if she doesn't have her phone sometime soon. she put a new password on it this afternoon, and since then it's been like this. once it's off, and battery out and reinserted, volume up/down, power, menu, home and all combinations - it goes to 'enter password.'

I wanted to know is there a way to change which app launches when you long press the menu button? Currently it's Google search.
I'm on a rooted Xperia S, if that matters.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I rooted it successfully.
Then I tried to install a CRT-style lock animation mod. For this I had to copy a new file into the /system/framework folder replacing an existing one. Once I did that my phone won't boot.
It restarts with the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo and the yellow triangle. Then the sound plays with an android text style logo. Then it just turns off.
What do I do? How do I transfer a ROM over so I can flash it? My CWM is v4.0. something so it won't read a ROM from my external SD card. And Kies won't load my phone because it isn't booted onto an OS.

I rooted my samsung for the first time Friday (worked out great). I just installed Rom Toolbox Pro & was looking through the features (I should of backed up first thing!) & decided to install a custom boot animation (big mistake!). The boot animation worked fine but even though the phone boots up & actually works, the screen is stuck in the boot animation state & will not bring up the home screen.
I've tried everything (actually learned quite a bit) using CWM to install boot animation disable zips, clear all kinds of caches, & even clear data & factory reset (lost everything). Even used odin3 to install Jelly Bean (originally ice cream sandwich 4.0.4.) & still this f$%^ing boot animation will not clear off the screen.
The phone still works to where I can answer & if I flip it on the side I can use the voice app with the home key to see half the screen (scrolling is a pain) but if I click to the home screen the dam boot animation takes over the whole screen again.
The firmware updates & zip files don't work. Is there a full android system out there to restore it or some way easy to get my home screen back. I really don't want to turn it to a brick if possible.

It was probably just a boneheaded photochop maneuver by the Ad agency. From Droid-Life: Video: Verizon Ad Shows Rooted Droid? | Droid Life: A Motorola Droid Blog.

My galaxy s4 has recently been very slow so I thought that I would try a factory data reset to clear some things up. However, my phone is rooted. Now when I looked around on some other forums it seemed as though that I didn't have to worry about factory resetting the phone while it was rooted. But when I went ahead and did so it no longer will boot. Its stuck in the boot loop/download mode/ whatever you may call it. I can't seem to flash a recovery file through Odin either. My phone is gone now.

Just finished unlocking the boot load and rooted my GN using the GNEX toolkit, and restored my apps fine.
However, Dropbox did not seem to work properly. I was able to login, but couldnt access my files correctly. For example, I was able to open my Keepass file, but not able to save any changes...it would just complain about not being able to save.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Dropbox and KeepassDroid, with no success. The wieird thing is I also tried to browse the SD Card using ES File Explorer, and I'm not able to delete the Dropbox .thinkfree directory, nor am I able to delete/copy/move/rename the local Keepass directory and file...it just complains that it cannot perform the operation

compile a ROM based on CM10; what would make that ROM go into a never-ending boot animation on a clean flash (wipe data/cache/dalvik), yet boot up without a problem when dirty flashed over a CM9 variant. One might think that since a dirty flash over CM9 works, what about dirty flashing over a CM10 variant? What if it acts just like performing a clean flash and never gets past the boot animation?
Lets compound this by adding that once a successful boot-up after the dirty CM9 flash has occured; if one goes into recovery and wipes data/cache/dalvik, the ROM goes back into a never-ending boot animation.

I am trying to get a friends Nexus 7 up and running. I recently rooted it and installed the custom recovery using my Mac with this guide while the tablet was on 4.3. All was well, but then my friend was given the option to install the 4.4 Kitkat update. After the update, the tablet has been unable to boot - it simply hangs at the startup animation. I am able to enter the recovery boot loader, and enter options to restore from a .zip, however I have no way of accessing the tablet's memory from my computer to put the original operating system back on it- although I think it could be done from Terminal, I am not well versed in command prompts.

I used mskip's toolkit to root my device, which succeeded, but I am unable to flash a custom rom. I've tried to flash 2 different versions of paranoid android, using cwm recovery, but I get the following error :
'assert failed: getprop("ro. build. product. device")...
E: Error in /sdcard/0/download/pa_grouper...
(Status 7)
BTW, I had no problems flashing pa to my Nexus 4&10 and loving that rom.

The app I'm working on has 4 tabs, 3 of which share many features, including a navigation bar a the bottom with Back, Edit, and Map buttons. There is exactly the same xml in all 3 layouts, so I'm trying to DRY this out by extracting that xml into a separate component, including it, and then going from there. Previously I had:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/showedit_toolbar" style="@style/showItemToolbar">
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/show_person_back_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:src="@drawable/left_white_arrow"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_person_map_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="map" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_person_edit_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="edit" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/show_person_map_button"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/showedit_toolbar"
style="@style/CoinLightTheme">
// Lots more layout omitted
I extracted out the bit that's repeated into an xml file called show_toolbar.xml, changing the names of variables to make it more generic across the 3 views
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/show_toolbar" style="@style/showItemToolbar">
<ImageButton style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:src="@drawable/left_white_arrow"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:id="@+id/show_back_button"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_map_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="map" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_edit_button" style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="edit" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/show_map_button"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Then from within my original layout file, I replaced that big block of code with
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<include android:id="@+id/show_toolbar" layout="@layout/show_toolbar"/>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/showedit_toolbar" style="@style/CoinLightTheme">
Now, the problem is that the view no longer shows up. Including Custom component causes it to be hidden behind main viewI can still click the buttons and they respond (i.e. if I click in the corner where the button should be, it still works), but I cannot see the buttons or bar onto which they were drawn. I cannot find very good documentation on how Include is supposed to work, so perhaps I am using it incorrectly.

I'm trying to make my own boot animation (A simple android kitkat logo), but when I put it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip and reboot the phone, it goes to black screen.
I followed the steps described in that guide and read that post, but they didn't share the solution and the mediafire link is dead. I'm attaching my current bootanimation.zip
