This morning, I used CWM to partition my internal SD card to the highest setting, but when i boot up my phone, it says: "Failed to boot 1
Starting RSD mode". My phone is stuck on this screen! Help?
Maybe sbf flash is only way to get phone working again. Can you boot back into CWM?

No. I'll try that though.
That worked, except my screen calibration is now extremely off, to the point where I can't use the buttons. Help?
Factory reset via CWM doesn't fix it.
Flashing the sbf doesn't fix it.
Lots of threads on this issue. Return your phone was only option AFAIK. Next time resrearch before you do something silly

You are not the first to partition/format their internal memory using CWM, and all who have tried it have experienced the same issue you are having with the touch screen being off on the bottom.
The fix? There isn't one.............
I just returned my phone today. DON'T EVER DO THIS!

Yea. Tenfar's CWM has been ported to work with the Atrix, but only the basics like backup/restore, data/Dalvik Cache wipe and flashing from ZIP files are working fully. Anything else and it's a coin toss.

(sorry to the other thread owner as I didn't realize I was in the i9300 forum when I posted my reply asking for similar help)
*** this is a repost from the post I made on androidcentral, with a suggestion made by dmmarck over there ***
Ok, yes it seems I made a mistake and I'm new to this, so apologies. But I tried going in and changing build.prop (specifically ro.camera.sound.forced=0 to get the camera to go quiet when the phone was set to silent) and when I rewrote the file into the system, I ended up with a phone that won't go past the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen into the Sprint boot. I searched around and found that my SBF might be trashed, but at this point I'm unsure as to how to get it reloaded properly.
I am able to get into the recovery (up volume, home button, power button), and may have made a further mistake by formatting the /system. Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup using that utility until AFTER the build.prop problem, so even though I tried to recover using the recovery I made (after the problem), it is understandably not working.
Am I totally screwed or is there a way to get me back? Any help is greatly appreciated.
// dmmarck and paul627g over on androidcentral think if I can get a good samaritan to help me by posting a nandroid backup of their stock L710 setup, I should be able to recover without issues, would anyone here be able to help me?

Yes! Thank you for pointing me there, I found that a little bit ago and tried it a couple of times, unfortunately, the bootloader doesn't seem to be broken, so this didn't help me.
I really wish Samsung had the OEM ROM out!
Just found this!! Someone please tell me this will fix things?? And how do I use the file? (am downloading it now, slow download)

hey now, I appreciate what it takes to get to a fix, but I am in a bit of a pickle with this being my only phone and I am new to Android, so what may be a fix is still an exciting bit of news.
I appreciate that this is not the same as an OEM ROM now (with help from here and from android central), so I'm learning. I also understand that this is a problem that I caused by not doing my basic backups as I would any other software work, so please don't misunderstand and think that I am not understanding of what the timeline realistically will be to get to a fix.
Can't you edit the prop build on your recovery and flash it back?

quite possibly, but the recovery was made from the messed up/non-working version, so I'm not sure if that works or not... any thoughts?
I have a solution for you. Ask someone who has a GS3 to make a nandroid, copy it to your sd card and flash it. Viola you should have everything back to normal.
*warning*
Some might deny your request because certain personal information being stored in a nandroid such as gmail accounts, contacts,passwords, ect.

Yes! Thanks! This is the route that we're moving forward on in the androidcentral forums. We're thinking a FACTORY RESET/CACHE/DALVIK WIPE usin CWM will help to remove personal info as best as possible for any kind soul who does this.
I'm pretty sure someone will help you. I would have if i had a gs3(waiting for local stores to get them). I hope everything go well for you.
Come to think of it, couldn't you just factory reset your phone and it will be stock again?

By going into stock recovery mode you can factory reset it. It's the same steps to get into CWM.
And if all else fail, root your phone using the odin method by getting into download mode, you'll have CWM recovery and you can factory reset using that.

hmm, I think I'm missing something because I don't have the factory recovery now that CWM is installed (or am I incorrect here?). And I'm not sure if I can get back to the factory reset options now in the state that I'm in.
As far as the odin method, I am already rooted, I'm not sure how I can use CWM recovery to factory reset at that point..
Apologies again as I am new to android and trying to learn! I appreciate you're help!
Yes, you don't have stock recovery because you're rooted. And if you're able to get into CWM you should be able to get your phone back to normal.
In CWM there's a option to wipe data(factory reset), but wiping data to cure your problem is experimental meaning idk what might happen when/if you do.

Ok, just tried that (wipe data/factory reset), same behavior unfortunately...
How about unrooting ?
Using this method
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-un-root-from-recovery.html?m=1
then going to stock recovery.
Before doing any of this first try using the nandroid somebody might provide for you.

Well if he factory reset and erased the system he has no ROM to reset back to?
Hopefully a stock ROM is upped soon.
Sucks i don't have my phone yet else i would send you a nand backup of a clean install

Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone. I will have computer access in the next few days. Please help!

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps

Don't think she was saying that her recovery doesn't work, think she meant that going into didn't help. Although I am not sure what she thought just loading the recovery would accomplish?

This. Seems to always stop those little, alien like happenings regardless of the device.

I had to encrypt my device for work email and now I can't go back. I've tried everything I could find through Google so I don't need the CIGTFY links. I've tried RUU through windows, flashing stock recoveries through Fastboot, factory reset through the OS, recovery and 'fastboot erase userdata.' All of these have yielded the same result: reboot into the same state with the phone still encrypted. Is there anything to be done or is this device stuck in this state?

I believe his should be stock. If it's the same process as my gf's company, you encrypt it right when you get the phone.
I did, fortunately, manage to unlock and root before I set up work email. Now I'm in the situation described above.

Is it preventing you from doing something, like flashing roms or getting S-Off? Just curious in case I can get my grubby hands on my girlfriend's One X+
It's preventing me from flashing any more mods, ota updates or even accessing the memory from any recovery. I've tried everything but trying a hard reset through the stock recovery but I can't find a way to get it back. Everything I try to flash using fastboot returns a successful indicator but nothing ever sticks.

I think I found the answer!!!!
You need to copy everything from the sdcard onto the computer.
Then format data manually. The factory reset wipe won't touch encryption but on the transformer prime when you go to format data it warns you that any encryption will be lost.

So just to clarify: I first plug the device into my computer via USB then through my computer OS choose to format the internal memory? If so, will I then need to reinstall the DNA's OS? Will the computer choose the right format (ext, FAT, etc.)? Can I use RUU after this procedure?

No I'm sorry didn't mean to be as vague. In recovery like in TWRP, there's the option for "factory reset" wipe which I'd the normal rom flashing wipe. But there's also an option in recovery that says "format data", I'm on a different device but when I get home I can list exactly the steps to get to format data instead of factory reset.
The factory reset is there because it allows only wiping part of data to prevent completely wiping the internal storage. The technical working is something like factory reset = wipe data and cache excluding media
That option doesn't truly wipe the data partition and for 99 percent of people they don't ever need to do a true data wipe and format which includes wiping the internal storage completely.
One of the warnings I saw on a different device that TWRP states with the complete "data format" is that this option will completely wipe all internal storage partitions and will delete or undo the devices encryption.
There's no computer involved and hboot and recovery and boot shouldn't be touched only the data partition. I believe that the system partition with the rom stays intact, so it will reboot into the new rom setup screen. But you need to have the Everything from the sdcard copied to a folder on your desktop, and the rom zip file handy in case you do need to transfer it to the phone and reflash.

That did it!!! I should note that I had some issues flashing the TWRP recovery back on (kept getting weird color striped patterns on my screen whenever I would boot into recovery) so I flashed the Clockwork Mod recovery. Fromm there I went to 'mounts and storage' then to 'format /data and /data/media.' I tried just format /data but that didn't work. It worked when I formatted them both. Thank so very much.

I am trying something very similar on my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 and so far even formatting the data in CWM hasn't yielded results. I have actually formatted everything including the second ROM. Any ideas you can offer me is appreciated. When I did my encryption I didn't encrypt the whole device just the sections that were being used. Of course my device is totally different but I did find this thread two days ago and thought it was very interesting.

I just picked up an S4 off swappa, MDK build already rooted and loki'd running TWRP 2.5.0.2
So I'll flash a ROM and sometimes they'll boot, sometimes they get stuck on the splash screen. If I reboot a ROM at all, it sticks on the splash screen. Sometimes it will randomly reboot itself. I have to battery pull from there, manually boot into recovery (sometimes it hangs on the splash here too), then reflash.
Weirdly, every time I do this (AKA everytime I try to reboot a ROM), once I get into the recovery it basically doesn't see my internal storage, shows it as "Internal Storage (0 mb)", no files shown in it.
I've tried fixing permissions yada yada, anyone have an idea as to what to do?
Internal storage? Like when you're trying to make a back up and you can choose between saving to the micro sdcard and internal, the internal shows 0mb there?

Shows it like that everywhere in the recovery; install & restore section, file manager...
It has to be a recovery issue. I just formatted data with TWRP then booted into a ROM. Wtf.
Now I can't get anything to boot besides recovery... nor is there any guides for this.

Are you wiping all the proper partitions before installing your rom? Ie factory data reset/system/both caches.

Sometimes if my phone freezes up and I need to do a battery pull my phone will randomly bootloop. This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times on all kinds of roms, tw and aosp. One time on a tw rom it ended up booting into the samsung setup wizard. It was weird because it didnt wipe my phone but all my apps were force closing if I opened them. The only fix was to wipe and flash again. This happened on Nephilim rom last. Also this has happened on several kernels. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think this could be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance.
It's to my happened to me with certain ROM installs when I flashed dirty/without doing a factory reset prior to flashing.
