I have just flashed my Galaxy 5 with Cyanogenmod latest and it is now stuck on a reapeating splash screen of a little blue droid guy, its not doing nothing i cant access my phone as it wont advance from this splash screen, i have removed my battery but nothing has worked.
Any quick tips/fix please?
have you wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache?
I havent a clue what you mean so i'm guessing not aha:/
whats your custom recovery?
for amonra, there should be an option called wipe and it has everything i just said.
for clockworkmod, theres wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and under advanced, theres wipe dalvik cache
I am not 100% positive but i used Clockworkmod v4 in order to get Cyanogenmod 7 onto my device if that answers your question? (im new to all this stuff).
All ive did is;
Installed clockworkmod v4
rebooted my device.
installed cyanogenmod as a zip from my sd card
rebooted my device.
Turned it back on and just this splash screen repeating
Im sorry i suck at this aha
with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power.
when it boots into clockworkmod, on the first menu, there should be an option to wipe data/factory reset and another one to wipe cache. do both.
then after you are done with that, go into the advanced menu and select wipe dalvik cache. now reboot
When i hold that combination down it brings up Download mode for some reason :S
oh yeah. my bad i was thinking about my phone.
try reinstalling the recovery (using odin) and see if it boots back into recovery (do this at your own risk; since i dont have a phone that uses odin, im not sure if this will work or not)
Could this damage/brick my phone?
Thank you so so so so much sir! Id take my hat off for you, if i wore one!
I love you.
im guessing it worked, right?
no problem
Yes ahah, longest 3 minutes in my life though! Thanks alot.

Did you wipe the dalvik cache? If you didn't, go into recovery, then click advanced, then click wipe dalvik cache.
i whipped dalvik cache, still sits in the boot logo

Maybe you've had a bad install. Try wiping everything again, and then re-installing. After you've reinstalled, wipe everything again just for good measure.
This happened to me before, just download CM7 again onto your sd card and then go into your recovery menu and wipe dalvik, wipe cache, wipe data, then try reflashing the new CM7 zip you have on your sd card and reboot

I think this maybe my problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219956
cause I can only access my internal memory, but I have a bigger problem it says my battery is to low to flash and it doesnt seem to be charging. Iis there any mode under those options when you hold power and down volume that would charge the phone?
Try the method I posted on that thread to charge your phone, its a video on youtube that tells you how to.
So I installed CM7 Beta and now I'm stuck in the splash screen.
So the CM7 screen keeps repeating itself.
Can someone help me get out of this?

How do i do that. I havent been using my phone in a while
also make sure you're using either the most up to date CWM from Rom Manager or the most up to date version of Romracer's recovery
most ppl who run into the bootloop problem with cm7 install forget to wipe data/factory reset...make sure u boot into recovery and do that.. on the latest CWM it's the 3rd option down
PEOPLE:
How do I get to the place where I can wipe the memory or clear cache? Is it Power+Vol Down?
yeah it power then hold volume down untll you see fastboot. then hit volume down untill you see android recovery, then hit volume up
YES! Got it working.
Thanks for all of those who helped!
Im glad it was that easy
Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Slightly puzzled by you not having an "advanced" menu option. Which CWM version do you have?
Okay guys it seems ive fixxed my s3, after 4 long months lol..
What i did:
Installed Kies, Got my phone into download mode, Let kies to a PROPER wipe of the phone, (Phone, pds, csc) and it just ****ing straight up fixed everything...now i just need to find a thread that shows me how to COMPLETELY backup my ENTIRE phone, Every damn fkn Kb.. And ill be rooting it again lol
Thanks everyone!
Howdy partners, not sure if I should have started my own thread...let me know if that is proper procedure please. I've already read the recent boot loop thread by vlmaadir t=2558286, but I'm unsure as to the applicability of the solutions in that thread to my problem.
I'm in a similar situation as the vlmaadir, except I've been running the most recent stock ROM (UCMD8) and have rooted via framaroot and flashed the AJKv4.9 - NoSwap Kernal successfully around 12/5/2013. Of course I've yet to do a backup of the OS or apps, but pics/vids/contacts were all recently backed up.
About two weeks ago I started noticing random reboots, but wasn't really sure what to make of that, never any boot looping though. Well this morning the phone was working when i woke (phone alarm raised me from the dead on time) and had approx. 70% battery, but by the time I got to work, the phone had apparently powered off.
When I powered it back on, it took a several minutes to boot up (normally around 45sec-1min), once booted the battery showed about 10-15% (in the red). The few apps I opened worked (naked browser, outlook), but were a bit laggy. I decided to restart the phone from the regular power menu to see if that would help the laggy/battery issue, and upon restart I am now solidly stuck in my 1st android boot loop!!!
I can boot into CWM recovery, but have yet to do any wiping as I wanted to seek a bit of advice here 1st.
If anyone has any pointers, I'm listening.
Thanks!
I would 1st try a wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache from cwm recovery and see if it will reboot.
If it doesn't then u will probably have to wipe data/factory reset from cwm recovery and then reboot.
If ya have been runnin good for a while with AJ's kernel, then a rogue app may be the cause of ur problem.
R u tweakin anything in the kernel through stweaks apk ?

Thanks 4-2.
If I have to go wipe data/factory reset, should i have to re-flash the rom and kernel?
I've been running the AJK for about a month, no tweaks. Like I said in the OP, I had noticed some random reboots in the past few weeks and at some point over Christmas day, when I was doing a good bit of pic/video work on my phone, it came up with a message that the internal storage memory was low. I knew this wasn't the case, at least as far as the entire internal memory, which had around 3 gigs free. Just a few strange things I've noticed since having AJK in place.
Are there any other good kernels for stock 4.1.2? AJK seemed to be the go-to of main stock and custom ROM folks.
I did a cache wipe, but when I enter the dalvik wipe confirm menu, the output shows
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
and when I confirm yes, wipe dalvik, the screen goes black, then the phone restarts into the boot loop.
Any one know what is up here?
^^
Doing and wipe data/factory reset in the cwm recovery will just return the Stock MD8 to just full stock, as if u first installed it through Odin or att official, Except u will still have the AJ kernel. There is no need to reflash the rom as u say.
But if u cannot find an app that is causing the problem, then a complete Odin flash to Stock MD8 should help in the troubleshooting.

The "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" is the norm from what i remember.
But not sure why choosing to wipe dalvik cache resulted in a bootloop.
Have ya tried the wipe data/factory reset yet ?
Just did a wipe data/factory reset and I got out of the boot loop! Now I just have to set the phone up like I had it once again! Boo!
Thanks for the input 4-2!!!
Glad ya got it going. :good:
