Got a strange problem with my Folio. When i turn it on if just shows a black screen after the Toshiba logo but if i perform a factory reset from the recovery it starts upp fine and works without any problem until i turn it off. I then have to perform a factory reset again to get it running. Reflashing doesn't help (tried both fastboot with wipe and from SD)
Currently running FolioMod 1.4. Have previously been using CM7.2RC0.
Anyone got any ideas? I suspect some problem with the formatting of a partition but the link to http://dext3r.komodin.org/folio100/update-formatstorage.zip in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846199 is down. Anyone got a copy of this file?
This is the webside from Dexter:

Maybe you find something to solve the Problem??
It's unfortunately not available there but managed to find a copy of the file on another forum and it seems to have helped =)
First flashed update-formatstorage.zip using recovery
Then i erased cache, system and userdata using fastboot
Then i flashed boot, recovery and system using fastboot
Another wipe with fastboot

This all started when I was wiping in CWM before flashing a ROM and I seemed to have misclicked something. It resized a partition I think I recall it saying, but I proceeded to install the ROM afterwards. The rom didn't boot, but I was still able to access CWM so I flashed a recovery I had made. I was able to boot into it but the touch screen was horribly off and made it unusable. I spent a while wiping then tried a few different roms to start from scratch. The Boot logo had disappeared and a menu had taken it's place.
I eventually pulled up fastboot and wiped everything. Everything on the phone is wiped and it is now unusable, HOWEVER fastboot is working perfectly and I can flash files from there.
What do I do from here to get my phone back into a functional state? I really need some help here...

Have u tried these fastboot commands
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
Okay, I've done that and then I flashed CWM Recovery through fastboot. I then booted into CWM and flashed the jokersax's CM9 ROM and rebooted. What I still get is:
No OS detected, going to RSD mode in 5 seconds
Press a key to stop count down
Available Modes are:
1 RSD
2 Fastboot
3 NvFlash
etc. etc.
It isn't detecting an OS still, and I don't get a boot icon just that menu. What would you suggest?

1. Re: CWM wipe and spazzed out touch screen: Sounds like you erased your PDS partition. If you made a back up, flash it. Otherwise search for a thread titled PDS Partition Fix (or something similar) here in the Q&A section for an alternative fix.
2. I don't recall if doing the PDS fix will also fix the missing boot logo. If not, you can find a stock replacement in the Themes section. You're looking for logo.bin.
That fixed it, thanks! I did a full wipe of those partitions then restored from my CWM restore. That didn't fix the screen but I tried that fix you suggested and everything is perfect now. Thanks for the help.
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 guys!
I factory reset my rooted phone using Fastboot Screen.
After that, I also did factory reset using recovery.
I erased all partitions, cache, dalvik cache.
Now, my phone can't get past through the HTC Welcome Screen.
I want to flash another ROM but I can't put the zip file in my phone since I can't open the drive in my PC (it's not appearing in my pc).
Please help me. I want my phone to be usable again. Also, I want to continue to flash a New ROM.

Hi I have attempted to install experience rom on my xperia U. Firstly i successfully unlocked the boot loader. I then rooted it and installed CWM recovery all still good. I the transferred the ROM image to the phone went into recovery did a wipe data factory reset and wipe cash partition. Also wipe dalvick cache. Selected the ROM and install started, it hung, only way out was battery pull, I went back into recovery same thing happened, finally tried once more and it hung at about 75%. Now phone goes in a loop sony logo to black screen and I cant get into recovery mode. I have searched to see if I can find a way out but not found a way around it yet. I would be very grateful for any help with this.

flash stock ICS Rom ftf with flashtool
Thanks for help
Thanks I managed to flash stock Gingerbread in the end.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a handy guide I found. (youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g)
Where it says connect phone I found you need to connect it in fast boot (hold volume up button as you connect it) when the software is ready to flash un-plug phone then connect in flash mode (hold volume down button as you connect).

Install fastboot drivers.
Flash SlidingXU in cmd
Try out Zperience or TheBrainsRom following factory data reset, wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Hi,
I have Unnihertz Titan (Mediatek based) and I sucesfuly flashed TWRP by using a guide and got root via Magisk. Everything was working fine, I tried to restore some partial backups and it failed, so I tried Factory reset. Didn't worked from TWRP (now I know that because /data partition was encrypted), so I tried from settings. That was huge error. Now I'm stuck in the loop, bootloader tries to run recovery to do Factory reset, but the alpha TWRP I installed doesn't react and what is worse it doesn't clear the request for Factory reset so even after wiping /data and cache, I still end up in TWRP and not system. Any idea where the request for Factory reset might be stored?
Ok, found it, it was in `para` partition and all I had to do was erase it using fastboot.
