I've tried to flash my rom to CM7 but something went wrong with the procedure because I am stuck on the android boot screen (Android logo lightning, it gets stuck for a while and then the letters continue flashing, cycling).
I followed the normal procedure: root, installed custom recovery, I made a backup with nandroid (normal one, which I copied to my computer), wiped data+cache (both caches) and I tried to flash from SD. Update went as normal but I got stuck in this boot screen.
After trying 2 or 3 times this same procedure and being unable to move on, I tried to recover my backup using nandroid: it said it was unable to recover and to do it from adb; adb says that it's unable to mount my sdcard.
From what I've read, I would need to repartition my card.. I chose that option in the recovery; still unable to recover my backup.
I figured that it would not be too bad if I lost my data, so after giving up on CM7 I gave up on recovering my data as well.. the problem is that even after wiping data and cache I'm still stuck in this same boot screen.
Any idea?
I can access recovery and adb so this has to have a solution..
I managed to boot after formatting /system.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, P6200.
ROM: CM9.
Started with the device rebooting every time I tried to do nandroid backup when it got to backing up /data. I attempted to factory reset but then CWM (6.0.1.0) just hanged at formatting /data.
Then I attempted to do factory reset from the ROM (CM9). The device got stuck in a bootloop of trying to format /data and just hanging there. The device kept turning itself back on when turned off to go into this ridiculous loop.
Is my on-board sdcard fried or something? Anything I can do?
UPDATE: Fixed it, I hope. . . Ran f2sck from recovery on mmcblk0p10, needed three rounds before all the errors were gone. Then could successfully do factory reset and reinstall ROM. Restoring from backups now, hopefully nothing borks again,
try to get back to the stock rom via odin it will overwrite the data partition and of course the recovery image so ure back to 0 than and are able to continue what u wanted to do
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hi!
As mentioned in my previous thread, I had virus in my phone which was somehow attached to the system, so if even didn't remove when I tried to Factory Reset it many time. The user @sdeepb told me to wipe everything and then flash the Stock ROM again.
First of all I rooted it using King Root and removed some system apps which were demanding root access, but it also didn't stop advertisements. So then I installed TWRP v2.7.0.0 using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvJFIQLXa5s
Then I booted into recovery, first made backup of that ROM, I thought that the backup would store in sdcard but it stored in phone's own memory. I wiped Dalvik cache, Cache, Data, Internal SD-card, Android Secure and System. It also deleted the backup
Then I tried many ROMs from here (needrom.com). But in all ROMs, after flashing, when I tried to boot it, phone only shows Lenovo's logo. Last night I waited for 20 minutes but nothing happened. Then I flashed another ROM. Then tried booting it and didn't disturb it for 45 minutes. But still it is not booting the ROM.
(Also, when I try to boot to boot-loader from recovery, I my phone shows black screen on which it is written "=> FASTBOOT mode..." on the bottom.

hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
So, I can't restore my backup due to the error above. When I restore my backup, I get that error and a reboot loops me straight back into TWRP. You can read all that stuff below if you need the backstory.
(I had Lineage OS 18.1 installed and wanted to restore a backup from two weeks ago. So, I booted into TWRP, did a normal factory reset and restored the Backup of Lineage. However, it put out an error regarding something in root (structure needs cleaning). I tried rebooting into system, but it ended in fastboot mode. So I googled it and one thread said you can solve that by formatting system. "System" is backed up anyway, so I thought there was no harm, wiped it and restored the same backup once again. No error this time.
However, when I rebooted into system, the unlock pattern didn't work any more, even though I never changed it and always use the same one. I had to reboot into recovery, and now the TWRP unlock pattern didn't work either. Had to skip it and did another reset.
Now, every time I restore a backup (and those backups contain basically every partition available) it works, but when I reboot into system it just stops at the boot logo, then reboots into recovery. Basically a boot loop plus. Tried a fresh flash, same loop.
Also, all of my pictures and downloaded files are gone, because it's encrypted. I had to wipe data, which led to the whole encryption issue going away, however, I'm still stuck in that loop.
Does anyone know how to solve this cluster****? How do I get it to boot into system?
Edit: Managed to flash LIneage new after wiping data and system and it actually boots, hallelujah, but when I flash the back up I'm still at square one with the same fail and it fails to boot. )
