i tried the hard reset "menu+back+ power key" it gets me the the reset menu but all it dose is restarts the phone! also tried the "factory data reset" also just restarts the phone !
whats going on ?
I did a factory data reset, and it worked, coz I got all the initial setup screens again, so no idea
ok, after more than 30 failed attempts it suddenly worked !! so i decided to do it again just after i setup the phone and it happened again then again it worked after 4~5 attempts .

About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
My GPS has been crapping out so I'm trying to do a factory reset. Go through the steps and it just hangs on the little green android dude after I initiate the factory reset. Finally got the nerve to just power it down and restart and it boots to the home screen as though nothing happened . . .

Would you mind detailing what steps you went through?
I'm curious because it sounds like you did a factory reset through the rom you're running.
Ever attempt a factory reset and cache clear via CWM or TWRP (not sure of its proper acronym excuse the error)
HEY YALL...ok this cricket mercury m886 a customer brought in to do a factory reset but the hard reset from recovery doesnt do anything..just goes back to the pattern lock screen?? what gives? i tried many times, it says in recovert its completed and i did a wipe cache but still same results? any help will be highly appreciated!! thanks
i have the same problem，i get to purple screen try toreplace the custom recovery.img，but i restart the phone is restore original recovery.img
I also had this problem with my friends tablet, It was an alcatel tablet, I was able to access recovery mode and I wiped data but nothing happened. My friend found a hole at the back of the tablet and inserted a push pin and there it is it was wiped! Maybe there's something like a button in your device to factory reset it?
My encryption failed, forcing me to factory reset my S4 mini :crying: But when I hitteed the factory reset button, it wiped my data (took a minute or so), reeboted, and I landed at the same screen as before. Also wiping cache, dalvic cache, and formatting /data didn't help
I've read severeal very old threads here, saying that you got to reinstall the stock firmware. Is this still possible??? Can somebody tell me where to get the right 3 part firmware for my S4 mini (DTM)???
How the encryption problem occured
HELP!!! My phone forces me to factory reset, but the SD-Card encryption key will be lost then!
I can still reach the recovery and got a backup from Titanium of all apps on my SD-Card (thank god I did it yesterday). But the SD-Card is encrypted, and the key will be lost in case I do the factory reset. I can still access the CMW recovery and even can backup the system (just /data is still not working), ADB is enabled. Does anybody know how to safe the SD-Card key/unencrypt the SD-Card?
PS. I still know date and time when I did the encryption of both storages
How the failture happened:
I started the unencryption progress, and went out of my room, the phone still plugged in.
A few minutes I came back, the screen was still black. It also didn't reacted when you pressed a key. I thought something went wrong and the phone shut down complety, so I pressed the power button for a few secs. Then it booted, but then I got the message that I got to factory reset my device.
It seems like the unencrypting has never started, but the device thinks it has started, and therefore fails to boot.
Bump
Please help me, all my game stats are stored on the SD Card and it would be horrible if I would loose them:crying:
Another bump
Other problem now, so I brought the thread back to the top
so it goes like this .. I had a problem with my z90a40 as I was trying to fix a problem with network services(phone was able to recognize the sim but there was no service).. first I did a factory reset- didn't work, then I entered the boot menu again and wiped user data, then I choose "restore QCN backup" option , after that I rebooted, phone entered this initializing statues and after 2 seconds it rebooted(doesn't even finish the initializing, actually it only ticks at maybe less than 5% and then reboot) , and kept doing that, after this, I could no longer enter the boot menu ... I tried everything, ADB or cwm recovery won't work cause my device is not rooted nor the usb debugging is on .. so am stuck with this "initializing loop".. flashing didn't solve it for me, I tried every ROM I could find, rooted or not .. nothing .. what should I do now ?
thanks in advance & sorry for bad English
