Exactly what the title says. I've tried restoring a back-up, but I can't get the ROM to boot up. It just keeps bringing me back to the CWM screen.
Is there any way I can turn the device off from here just to save the battery while I receive some assistance?
edit: My Prime is now fixed thanks to the excellent support of XDA.
At first, when my prime booted into CWM I was like,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then after it kept bootlooping into CWM things felt worse.
After I got everything fixed up. This is what I felt like. (Only due to the excellent help though!)
Thanks guys!
Yes press and hold power and volume down until it vibrates. Release and it will shut down. Then just restart in recovery and wipe all and reflash rom.
It's still boot-looping back into CWM. It's version v5.8.2.0 if that helps. I'm hitting reboot system now with the power button, holding that and the volume down until I feel the vibration. I release, and a few seconds later it boots up again.

Read the following thread it should help but you need some adb knowledge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088
When you did a factory reset you erased the rom. You will have to reflash the virtious prime.
You wont need to unbrick. You are still able to get to recovery.
What will happen if my Prime dies though? Will I be able to charge it back up again? I'm not sure I'll have enough time to set up ADB before the battery passes.

I wiped data, cache, in dalvik in CWM. Then I formatted system, and tried re-installing Virtuous. It's still rebooting to CWM.
Well it sounds like you may have to follow the guide then. But it should charge in recovery and while it is off.
But it sounds like you got a corrupted file and I would suggest a new dl.

Unfortunately no "Shut Down" option. It was the first thing I looked for as I think it's included in other recoveries.
Can anybody else confirm that the device will charge while in CWM?

It sounds like you got a common bug with the CWM recovery; that bootloop into recovery. This can be fixed if you have ADP setup. See the how-to thread "Unbricking your Prime"; the first solution should get you back up. Then after that, I'd strongly urge you to consider TWRP. Though CWM is decent, and has got us by for a long time in the Android rooting community, you won't have problems like this with TWRP.

Hello all. I am new to these forums, and to rooting. Right now I am at a loss for what to do about my phone. I was running 2.1 when I did the one click root for the Droid Eris. When asked to load the rom from a zip file, I loaded Kaosfroyo v32. After rebooting, the phone was on a bootloop at the ANDROID loading screen. Not knowing what to do, a guy I work with Hard Reset the phone. After that I was able to get into Froyo, but now every single time I reboot the phone it asks me to activate my phone. No matter how many times you activate it, the phone has no service through Verizon. At this point I just need to get my phone at a point where it is usable again. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.

That just did the exact same thing as before. It says it is activated and wait ~15 minutes for wireless signal, however there is no connection.
Goto wireless settings and change to automatic or whatever is the third/last choice. That should work.

Try booting into recovery and doing a full wipe and then re-flashing the rom.

Amon is Amon Ra Recovery. The black screen with the green colored text. You boot to Amon Ra Recovery by turning your phone off then pressing and holding down Volume down + Power. Hold it until you see the black screen with green texts.

Yea that's the one. Wiping there wont require your phone to be re activated. Once you get it working you can do a backup from that screen as well so next time you'll be able to restore if you have any problems.

Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly: This page says:
Select Wipe-->Wipe Dalvik , then do Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Correct?
Yup then flash over the 2.1 rom and when it loads up and you go to program the phone it will allow to bring up they keypad so you can press the one key when it makes the call from *228 then once your phone is programed, reboot to amon do a nand backup, and wipe data and davlick. After that flash kaosfroyo.

the screen will lock up and display a bunch of lines and either purple, green, blue, or red. in this state the phone is totally unresponsive and requires a long press of the power button or battery to be pulled.
the only ROMS it does not do it with is GB ROMS. any ICS ROM will cause this to happen and I really would love an answer?
sometimes it will happen after a few hours. sometime it will happen 3 times in a matter of minutes.
I have F/R before every rom install and also wiped th CACHE AND DALVIK everytime.

honestly i dont think its that. it NEVER does it on ANY GB ROM. its flawless on the GB roms. its only when i flash a ICS ROM it does this...
Even looks like hardware issue...Have you tried Hydrog3N which is based on ICS 4.0.4....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530179
Really strange

The point is that you can't really tell if it's no problem on gingerbread, because it happens in random intervals. Maybe on gingerbread you were just lucky.
Anyway, this is not normal.
Before your phone really dies, I'd install a stock gingerbread rom on it and update to Ice Cream Sandwich through kies.
If it happens on an original Samsung ROM, return it.
You don't want such a problem after you've lost warranty.
Maybe it'll become even worse in future, so better get a replacement.

so how do i do a FULL format??
well, if your goin from a GB stock firmware, on your rooted phone download titanium backup, and backup all apps. The download mybackup, and backup all your contacts and the like (NOT system settings if you are goin from GB to ICS) and then reboot to recovery. flash the rom and gapps, wipe dalvik, cache AND YOU MUST restore to factory defaults/format or whatever. that is almost alwasy a must!
Then retore contacts/apps with titanium AND mybackup
This should work, unless of course it is a hardware problem, then i reckon you should invest in a $2 dollar usb jig, reboot to dl mode, and plug in ya jig. Thatl reset the custom counter, undo your root and pretty much give you back your warranty.
Hope this helps
Tangent5
EDIT: This always works for me, the main issue is just reinstalling the apps with the free titanium backup, and MAKE SURE each restore (for both mybackup and titanium) is NOT restoring data when going from GB to ICS or vice versa.
try with these wipes/format :
1) wipe data factory reset
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe dalvik
3) Mounts and storage / format system
then install the Rom zip file
Format cache, data, system, & sd card in CWRecovery. Then flash whatever rom you want with Odin. Pretty sure that's what JJE was referring to.

Any kernel compatible with cm9. You can simply extract the .zip from the rom and flash the boot.img via fastboot (available in Hasoon's tool).
If you still have issues we will need more info about your sytem: s-on? Already on ICS? Which carrier? SuperCID? and anything else you think about.

Maybe you guys can help me out a little bit. Can't get passed HTC screen.
I'm no expert at flashing, but on simple things I know what I am doing. Everything was fine and I wanted to flash Sport stars CM10 ROM. I did a backup on 4ext like I always do and then wipe flash reboot.
The issue here now is that once i flashed cm10 my phone got stuck on the HTC screen. Did my research found out sports ROM that he uploaded wasn't booting up. I instantly went back to 4ext. Wiped data and cache and restored my fourth bar nexus ROM.
Apparently it said the backup was successful yet when ever I boot it stays stuck at the HTC screen. This happened last night and I just can't seem to figure out shaft to do. I wiped, restored still nothing. Wiped download a different ROM. Still nothing.
S-on, T-Mobile
Edit: Also should be noted on last screenshot I never saw this splash screen before in 4ext. Happens the second I boot up in recovery. And in the small rectangle says something about 4ext not being configured due to an app or something.
I think I should be okay if I just flash clockwork and restore, but I'm not entirely sure.

If all else fails, reload a stock ruu via hboot, that'll wipe everything and restore your device to stock, once it boot's, throw on a custom recovery and go through the usuals to get your custom rom.

Flash the kernel in the zip file, which is the rom itself.
If that doesn't help, restore to stock via a ruu then attempt again, remembering to flash the kernel manually, in most cases 4EXT will flash the kernel when you reboot from recovery, it will tell you it has a task to complete, the phone should auto reboot on it's not, no this is not a bootloop, just let it be and it should be fine.

Just for future reference, anytime anyone has a bootloop issue that they can't fix in 20 minutes or less.. they should just flash the stock RUU. You can flash the RUU, flash a recovery, and restore a rom in a little over 30 minutes, and then you know that ANY quirk you may have had will have been written over.
Since you had an issue like yours, where you did nothing and it started booting, I am thinking you may have something wrong with your partition scheme.. if you have future issues reflash the RUU as it redoes the actual partitions and everything on them.
Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.
Gonk
When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.
Edit:
Damn I was late, I didn't even notice the second page. Woops.

Hi,
I plan to order a Verizon S4 phone today.
When it arrives, I will try to root it right away.
Will probably turn it on in a bad signal area (my basement) and turn on airplane mode.
I have never owned a Samsung phone before.
How can I check if the phone came from Verizon with the OTA already installed?
Thanks,
Howard
You want it to say baseband..... Mdk, build...... Mdk. Not me7.

If you installed the update then you have the update. Real simple folks.

My new phone will arrive tomorrow.
I plan to just immediately boot it into Odin mode, and start the rooting process.
Is there a simple way to see if it has MDK while in Odin mode.
I just booted into Odin mode and it does not say what baseband your on. I would follow the rooting process and if flashing the prerelease kernel fails then you know it's a updated phone.

Worked out great.
I did NOT put in the SIM card.
Did everything using WiFi.
The rooting process worked.
I am on baseband I545VRUAMDK with root and TWRP recovery installed.
Used Titanium Backup to freeze SDM
I still have not inserted the SIM card.

Another related question regarding rooting:
I installed CleanRom, and when booting up it asks me about "update samsung device" which starts a download.
I assume I should always say NO - as this might be the dreaded ME7 update which eliminates root and locks the bootloader ????
I would say no. It's weird that your getting that with a custom rom installed. Can you get a screen shot of the pop up?

I only get the Samsung direct download via Wifi (no SIM card installed yet) when I use TWRP to factory reset and then boot the phone.
On subsequent reboots, I do not get prompted for the Samsung download.
I have been suffering from the google playstore error 920. This seems to occur at about 100 apps of my 200 apps. I've been TWRP factory reset to start it over again. But, now I've figured out how to get the playstore to resume my 200 apps auto-installation: First, wait 10 minutes, then in settings I remove the google account, reboot to TWRP recovery and wipe cache and dalvic-cache, boot phone, run playstore which prompts me to re enter the google account.
I am trying to set the phone up completely with all my apps, accounts, etc.. before activating the SIM card and installing the SIM card.
Let me know if you really wan tthe samsung update screen shot. If yes, then after I'm done setting the phone up I will make a nandroid backup and do a TWRP factory reset to get you a picture.
Regards,
Nope, was just curious. No need going through extra work.
