I can't get into my phone to do a factory reset. I am stuck in a boot loop. I have already flashed the SBF file and phone wont boot.

Have u tried the 198_6-7 sbf ? Either way with the boot loop u should still be able to get into the stock recovery

when i try to enter stock recovery, i get the android with an !. don't really know what to do from here.

Press volume up & down at the same time and you'll get to the recovery menu then factory data reset and u should be good to go

my evo 3d is a 1.5 so i rooted it with HTC and put custom recovery. Tried to flash other rom today and would just boot loop. Once i went back to recovery i am allowed to flash but same boot loop even after different roms, dirffernt format all zips. So i tried to reapply the recovery.......
Now i have no recovery, just stock at bootloader. Is there a default RUU somewhere i don't even care if i lose root at this point. Im phoneless....... ;
Thanks in advance.
So as long as your phone still turns on some what you don't have a brick. What I would do is a hard reset: volume up+volume down+power I think?
If that doesn't work try finding an RUU on Google somewhere I'm sure you'll find one.

Thanks, but I have the same situation, but volume up + volume down + power != hard reset? I have tried and just can not boot up, just stuck at the splash screen:-(

Do you which RUU is the correct one by any chance, i found three??
What do they all say? I'm assuming they vary on the hboot version but I'm probably wrong.

Did you factory reset your phone after flashing? That seems like what your issue is...

Nvm u were right, I needed to do a factory reset, but now how do I get cwm to be able to flash aokp again?
Sent from my Liberty using xda premium
i was able to gain root again and cwm but when i try to flash aokp 4/4 it gets hung up on the samsung galaxy s screen but when i flash 4/3 it works fine. Possibly corrupt download? oh and i wipe everything this time.

Is my phone bricked?

So I was doing the Odin flash part, and after it passed, my phone would of rebooted, but it just stayed on the samsung logo. So i restarted it, and its still happening. I can't go into recovery mode.
Yes it sounds like a soft brick. You can usually fix this problem with a USB jig.

Crap my friend doesnt have an SD card. he only has internal. How can he put a ROM in the phone?
Do you havea link to a thread? I can't find anything how to fix a soft brick.
Ima try this
Part 5: De-brick
1. First thing you should do is to try access CWM recovery (see above), then either restore a previous nandroid backup you made, flash a working rom that's on your sdcard, or put a working rom on your sdcard via your PC 's card reader and flash.
2. If you can't fix it via recovery, then put your phone into download mode. Flash a stock rom via Odin (see above)
3. If your Note won't turn on at all, you may be facing a hard brick.
4. You can also purchase a mini-usb jig which will put your phone into download mode even when above methods fail. I personally bought this one for $1.60 shipped. But basically any jig for the Galaxy phones should work.
That shouldn't matter, did you try going into download mode? If you can't then you need to by a jig, they aren't that expensive or you can make one yourself!

You should flash stock ROM....and if you can access download mode then your not in a brick your in a bootloop

yes he can.
Then what you need to do is flash a stock ROM and try again but I recommend using a different kernel seeing as the first one didn't work.

Hey, Ultimate. I'm the friend that's in need. When I open Odin, do I keep the two ticked items the way they are? Or do I untick F. Reset Timer?
Keep them, just make sure re-partition isn't ticked and if it's only one file flash in the PDA section

Never mind, ignore this.
OK that's a good sign, first time boots do take a while because cache and data need to be created so be patient, if it takes more than ten mins, go back into recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again, if that doesn't work then also wipe data

Ok everything is working fine. I don't remember what I did, but do i download ROM Manager, then click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery and confirm? then go into recovery mode?
You must have been patient and see if you already have cwm installed if you do then no need but if you don't i suggest you find out other ways as ROM manager isn't very good I just helped someone out who was having cwm issues and they flashed it using rom manager but you can try if you wish

[Q] New to rooting i717

I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?
Are you rooted?

Yes...That is the first step I believe.
UPDATE: I have CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 working properly but I am getting an Error Status 7 (yes I have searched but everything I found was old and didn't help) I am trying to run cm-10.1-20120113-NIGHTLY-i717 build as well as pa_quincyatt-2.56-20121219-013738 build. both show same error. Any ideas?

Do I select factory reset or system from the twrp menu?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

Rebooting none stop

After flashing codis rom from mikrom after aroma installer was done, it jumped to recovery and asked me to fix su after i press yes it just started rebooting on and off trying to reboot back to recovery but it wont stay in recover, it goes back off and on and it keeps doing the same thing and i cant get it to stop. I can manually go into bootloader then fastboot and power down from there but when i try to go back to recovery through bootloader so i can try fixing it just doesnt want to stay in cwm recovery. Hoping anybody can help or guide me in the right direction to fix it, maybe using adb or something, thanx

Before flashing ROM did, did you flash boot.IMG in fast boot?
