[AC Question]

Last night, I was looking at an article I found on facebook. I was reading the article, and my phone locked up (my phone has a tendency to freeze when I am using any web browser.) So I took out the battery like I do any other time that this happens. I put it back in after two or three seconds. I then turned it on. It is fine until the boot animation starts up. Then it will stay at the boot animation forever. I did not download anything before it happened. The phone is rooted.

Welcome to Android Central! Try booting into Recovery Mode (either the stock recovery or any custom recovery you may have installed) and wiping the cache partition. The other thing to try would be to remove the SD card and reboot--if the card is corrupt, it might be causing problems.

I have already wiped the cache partition and tried taking out the sd card. Would a factory reset fix it and would it delete the root?

When I try to wipe the cache partition, I get the following responses, from initiation to after cache wipe

Not sure what to make of that. I'm not experienced with rooting, so I can't give you a good answer, sorry!
