So my phone has been acing very strange lately a lot of functions just crash and even the battery drains very very fast. Sometimes I get an yellow triangle besides the battery when charging it while off.
I think I have flashed it too many times for it to handle. So I'm just wondering if t would be a problem for my phone if I decided to format the whole "USB drive" from my computer. Leave no traces of anything. Will I be able to use my phone at all?
Thanks for anwer
That won't reset it to a factory default.

You can also format it through settings->memory... Plus, you can go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.. This will allow you to go back to factory settings...!

So i decided to format system (Don't ask me why I honestly don't know ) and after i did whenever i reboot it it stays at the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot logo. I can't reinstall Miui because somehow it says it can't open it because of it's "bad". I also tried to wipe data/factory reset, which did nothing. Any help please? Oh and i was too stupid to have a nandroid
If you formated /system then you basically wiped your OS.
You shouldn't have wiped your data/factory, that could have been kept there if you stayed on MIUI...
You have to reflash a rom, doesn't matter which since you wiped everything.
Since you know this kind of information.Does it erase the recovery mode too.Do you know where i go about following the steps to reinstall the Os .I tried Odin and never booted to the Graphic user interface.It booted back to the charging symbol and no charge.The charge look red for a long time.I think it maybe a bad battery,software.Who knows what the heck happened.I was rooting my tablet and it went fine.Once i tried to install a software to install lingeage os.That is when it didn't want to reinstall any software to 100%.Sorry to confuse you.I tried getting advice and more info.
I factory reseted my Galaxy S3. everything went normal but as soon as the mobile rebooted after the reset, started the problem. most of the system apps and the apps i download from the market closes by itself and return to home screen.
for example, if i try to check a mail in gmail, it keeps on loading and then suddenly goes back to home screen.
plz help. what should i do?
I even flashed the ROM back with odin but the problem still persist

Here's what I did when I got the same issue:
1. I booted into Clockwork recovery. Once there I wiped everything incl. "Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats" in advanced menu.
Manually formated every step in "Mounts and Storage" menu (EXCEPT FOR SDCARD of course!). Even tho that step might not be necessary
2. Did a factory reset.
3. Removed SD-card and put it in my putor. Then copied a ROM to the card.
4. Booted into download mode (hold Volume down + Home + Power buttton) and flashed a kernel with Odin.
5. Booted into Clockwork recovery and installed ROM from zip.
This worked like a Clockwork for me, No guarantees from me tho!
Hi,
Please give me some help guys,
After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.
I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!
I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.
App + torrent = probable malware .
Flash stock rom via Odin is the first step .

flash latest i9300 stock rom via odin and after f-reset.find rom here

Try safe mode.
Safe mode will boot only stock apps, apps which were installed by ROM.

Well, things have gone worst, i've entered in safe mode and choose factory reset from settings, now the phone keeps rebooting, show the green robot of factory reset for 2 seconds and then reboots again. Now cant even get in the samsung logo neither in recovery or download mode.
Now, is there a solution for this? Have removed the battery for about 5 minuts but it stays the same.

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!
I searched all over the internet
- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds
- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!
- I wiped the cache and it didn't work
- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))
- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that
- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong
HELP!
Hi, I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and everything was working fine. A couple of months later, I put the tablet in airplane mode because I didn't want to drain the battery when I wasn't at home. When I got home and removed it off airplane mode, the device appeared to be frozen so I held the power down to restart it; this normally fixed most issues I've had with it.
Only this time, it boots to the screen with the Samsung logo and is just stuck there. I was wondering since I did root my tablet, is there any way to restart it properly without doing a factory reset which will cause me to lose all my data/apps, etc...
Did you try to restart device from recovery?
Could you please describe what you mean by boot to recovery?
Hold power+volume down, you will be directed to recovery, there choose reboot device, if that wont help try factory reset, or flash stock rom through Odin
Any solutions that would not wipe the data?
If not is there a way for me to access the data and save it prior to me doing the factory wipe like hooking it up to my pc and transferring the data?
I have recovery but noticed I never took a backup. I am wondering if I did a backup now and did a factory wipe; would it wipe out the recovery/root? If not; would I be able to restore the backup and get my data back?
I tried the wiping cache but no luck; still just goes to the logo screen and no further.

I had this same problem on my tab. However, I just got out of it using the RECOVERY mode as was explained above.
It will not wipe your data. Just choose the option to reboot the system and that will fix it for you. I had same concern about wiping my data so when I saw that reboot option, I selected it and it has helped to rectify my issues. My tab has finally boot completely and I'm once again able to use my tab.
Hey there, someone can save an i9300? When I turn on the devace he show me ever the same screen, (first screen of presentation: there is written Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300). If I connect it to my computer it is not detected and can not be recharged. I can go into recovery mode and it's a TWRP. Thank you for your time.
Post scrittum: I don't speak English so I apologize for the probably errors.
Have you tried to wipe the cache partition from TWRP? If that doesn't fix the issue, you may have to wipe the data partition too. Don't wipe the data partition unless you have a backup of the data or don't need the data.
