When i try to wipe data/factory reset in cwm it freezes at
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
what should i doooooo?
pull battery, reboot recovery.. wipe completed, it just hangs at last prompt.. a fix is likely incoming.
otherwise revert to CWM
I had this problem last night. I had to remove my card and put it in my computer and wipe the contents of android_secure before it would work

had this same problem last night, I just reflashed cwm through odin and the data wipe now works
That's unfortunately "normal" for the newer CWM recoveries right now... but even though it gets stuck the wipe does still complete. Once you see that, you can just manually restart your phone (you don't need to pull the battery, by the way, just hold down pwr+volume up+volume down) and flash whatever you were going to flash.

hey my droid eris i just got it and i instantly rooted it n then after about an hour i left it on and didnt use it it just turned off and the battery was half way full
Turn it back on?
Have you gone through ALL the rooting steps? Or did you just flash PB00IMG.zip and you're using whatever that has?
This is what I'd do:
If you have Amon's Recovery image installed, go download Ivan's 0.8T2 ROM, put it on your SD card, start up your phone while holding VOLUME UP + POWER, wipe Factory data, wipe Dalvik Cache, Flash from Zip, and flash Ivan's 0.8t2.
Then see how your phone works.
can some one please help me, i root my htc eris and i install a rom but now the phone wont turn on, is stuck in the android screen.
i allready did a master reset, by holding VOL DOWN + SEND + END
I also can get in to recovery mode and i did a wipe date/factory reset, but is not working.
and when i try to do a RESTORE is telling me that there is no sd-ext.img
and no android_secure.img
can some one PLEASE help me. THANKSSSSsss........
In your recovery are you able to flash images? If so I suggest you download a ROM and try to flash it. That usually solves my problems.
Yea try reflashing a ROM, deleting everything off your sdcard, wiping factory data, davlik cache, and sd ext partition.
Wipe anything you can pretty much ha.
You should only really have to flash the ROM. I can't imagine how replacing the ROM wouldn't totally fix everything. Do a wipe first.
Also understand that it can easily take 5 to 10 minutes to boot for the first time after flashing a new rom let it sit for 20 then worry.
As long as you can hit recovery you haven't ****ed it up too bad though, that's a positive.
Nice i just run the RUU and now my phone wont turn on at all
I was flashing Liberty Gingerbread to my Droid X with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I Wipe data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache, but, when it rebooted, it get stuck in the Yellow Hand Boot Logo.
I don't know what to do, I've tried everything, pulling off the battery, Stock Recovery Factory Reset and volume down button and power button, so if you can help me will be great.
Have u tried reflashing the rom. It happens to me sometimes so i just reflash the rom and it starts to work.

About the thing of reflashing, how do you do it? and how i do it if i cannot enter to any kind of recovery exept the stock recovey which haves only four options:
-Reboot Phone (It reboots but gets into de Boot Loop again)
-Install: update.zip (I've tried it with the same rom and others and nothing)
-Wipe data/factory reset (does not work)
-Clear cache (does not work)
What i mean is that i cannot enter to ClockWorkMod Recovery so i cannot install a new rom.
I've heard about the Bootloader and SBF's or something like that but i don't know if it is safe or if it could work
I've tried 2.4 and that didn't boot so i used sbf and then tried 2.3 but that did the same thing! whats wrong?
Why don't you try 3.0?
here are the steps I take
1. stock sbf
2. install bootstrap
3. in bootstrap, mounts, format sd-internal
4. flash zip
5. reboot
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply will try and respond
After the sbf finishes do a factory reset w/ data wipe (it's important). After it boots go through the steps for root, unlock, cwm ( if you need any of them).
I am rooted/unlocked and this is my process when flashing.
Boot into cwm
Wipe /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Format /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Install zip from sd
Wipe and format as above
Factory reset
Power off. At this time I charge to 100%.
Boot into cwm
Factory reset again
Reboot
After it boots up this time I go ahead and activate, sync, etc, etc. It's a long process and some steps may be redundant to some but I have never had issues flashing this way.
I also do the extra wipes for battery stats. I have never wiped battery stats after flashing as it's done during all the wipe/formatting I do. I charge to 100% before the final boot for this reason (my madness has method). Only one time I had an issue with crappy battery life. A bat stat wipe didn't help even after a few days and I attributed it to that particular ROM.

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!!
