At what point does this error message occur? Immediately after the white "n" logo appears?

yes. after disappearing logo n.
some image with some text appear and quickly changing to THAT message.
i think the first message is something like standart recovery.
any actions with a recovery sd card didnt help.
i find a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
where someone calling ferryco, posted very similar problem and its solution
-"after removing the sd card and let the tablet reboot i get a error screen saying "please restart your device and try again if you encounter the same issue, please contact customer service..." tried the whole process three times and it's always the same thing please help"
-"thanks for this man I really apreciate it! it appears that the error was the recovery, i flashed cwm on internal and got a recovery bootloop, my tablet was only entering in cmw recovery, the solution was to flash the stock recovery and then everything went just fine no errors and get my NT stock again, thank you again for this excellent tool!"
but he dont answer, and I dont know how he flashe the stock recovery, in what way..

any way of knowing if your 'recovery sd' is a good one ? i'm just saying... you can flash one but if you do not make it bootable... then it won't work.
.
i use EASEUS partition master s/w to check and make sure ( spend no money... )

OP, if you're getting that far, you should be able to boot into an SD ROM to make changes to your actual device. I would try making a CM7 SD ROM then try to boot into it by plugging the device into the AC charge and let it power on.

Some help please (newbie)

Hi all,
I've done a search and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for so starting a new thread (but am continuing to read through other threads hoping to find an answer).
Situation: I've rooted my gsm hero a while back, and used a few custom roms. Earlier today, decided I wanted to test out the Villian 5.5 rom. Did the usual nandroid backup, wipe data and applied the update.zip but things didn't go well (stuck on boot screen).
So I restarted the phone on recovery mode and tried to restore latest back up but get an error message saying "Error performing restore! Try running 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' from console."
I'm not sure what to do from here so if there are any suggestions? I'm also not too familiar with CMD commands (which I'm trying to work out now).
Is there a way to copy another ROM (say, the old one I was using) to the SD card while I can only get to recovery mode?
Thanks for any help!!
How long were you stuck on the boot screen? It can take 20 minutes or so sometimes.
Went for about 15 minutes...
Just read another thread suggesting to reboot without the SD card and this actually worked!
Does that mean I did not properly wipe/format my SD card?
Now that the phone is working, how should I deal with the SD card??
Try turning it off and booting with SD card again. If you can get a logcat going you'll be able to see what it gets stuck on.

[Q] Please Help

Hello, I just bought my G-tablet and I have severely screwed it over. First, I rooted it and installed CWM, (It went fine). Then I flashed Cyanogen 7, following their wiki full update instructions. It was running fine till I found out that for some reason, my computer nor the tablet even knew it had an SD (Computer found nothing, File explorer on tablet had nothing) coupled with the fact Gapps refused to install, I figured this would be solved in a wipe then another flash. Nothing was different. So I wiped again (seemed to have froze during) but the flash of Vegan 5.1 seemed to have went well... for now. However, trying to install Adobe Flash via the preinstalled android market, it wouldn't install. It kept saying download unsuccessful, for every single app I tried. (no it's not an network problem). Being the noob I am I started following random googled XDA threads on how to fix this. I partioned 4gig from my sd to see if that would fix the market problem. I got stuck in a bootloop so I was forced to reflash vegan. When I did, I found out that when I tried to install anything it said something along the lines of "Not enough space" knowing I had 13 gigs of memory leftover, I figured I'd try rebooting. Got stuck in bootloop. Then followed yet ANOTHER googled guide (droidpirate brick fix) and now I can't even access CWM. It just loads as IF it were going to CWM but then shows me a /!\ caution sign then instantly turns off. When I normally start it, it goes into bootloop. when I try to get to CWM (holding volume up, power) it goes to a useless flash that I presume just fails, then brings me back into the bootloop. As far as I see, I have no way of fixing this...
I know this is so much to read, so in a brief explanation.. I'm in a bootloop, cannot get into CWM (brings me to a failed flash then back into boot loop) and am in dire need of assistance Please help me

NvFlash is currently not working for me, I don't know exactly where I messed up but my computer already has the drivers to read the tablet. when I run the .bat, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Scratch that, got it to work. I didn't extract one of the folders entirely. But my tablet is still stuck in bootloop even after this? what now?

Take this with a grain of salt, as I learned it is not 'always' your friend
Now it's just on the stock Viewsonic birds and Gtablet logo bootloop...
Even after I NvFlashed it... Still can't access CMW.
Any suggestions?
Nvm, I got it to what appears to be working. (and I just about jizzed all over my tab.) Thanks so much. Saved me a beating from my parents.

I had the same problem with my next 7 premium se 8gig.
Pop your sd card in.
Boot into recovery mode by pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time.
When recovery comes up, delete the media partition, clear your cache and restore to factory settings.
Choose the option to restart the tablet.
Once it boots it should be back to life though you will lose everything on it.
Beats having a useless tablet though.
It took me only a few hours to reload all my apps and she's been running fine since.
Good Luck.
I got it to go to recover but once at recovery it says upgrading please wait and sits their.
Exact same issue...
Any luck in resolving this yet? I have google for 16 hrs so far, and tried countless methods of restoring my tablet to it's previous glory...
Any help is much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Help needed

Hello! I have tried to get help from here before but then i did not have much info about the programs i used for my phone.
Anyways, I have a LG Optumis 3D (P929). I rooted it as told, Got myself a rom ( i useClockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9).
Restarted into recovery mod and i did wipe out data/factory resetfollowed by Cache...
Installed this famous-for-not-working-file "XBSA404.ZIP". Not only me who's getting "Installation aborted" whitout any details why.
I have also tried out "ISC 30a" wich is supposed to be the stock rom. This one works to install but nothing happends.
It says it is mounting but as the XBSA404.ZIP once it comes to install it just jumps to complete?
It seems but i dont know if iits supposed to do that? It takes around 2minutes for this to happend..
Since i tried to install a newer version of android into my phone, everything is stuck at the startup logo. "Bricked" i think is the word.
Im new within this but i try to learn. Now i just want it to start and what ever i must do to get it to work again i am happy for any help with it.
I have looked for downloads with any working ROM and on this site all the links seems not to work.
I have done this tutorial via xda forum a several times without any good resaults.
Also.. once i try to start up in recoverymod the phone jumps into my logo and freezes. I press vol- home and power, releasing once the logo appears. Dont know if its me or if its the phone thats not working. No dmg to it what so ever but i have to repeat this a several times before it comes into recovery mod.
Please help!
Did you backed up your phone's ROM?
else, I think you have to find someone that have the same phone as you are and back its ROM then use that back up ROM to your own phone
*fellow people out there correct me if i am wrong, thanks"

Again with bootloop problems, this time with CWM

Well, my problems with recoveries are sorta of a jokle by now, but I still feel compeled to share my experiences so maybe anyone can tell me what the hell is happening on my phone....
So as I said some time ago, I experienced problems with the PhilZ recovery, which I solved swapping to CWM version 6.0.3.2. The problem was the infinite bootloop of the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9300 logo, the black screen, which did not allow me to access to the recovery. But inmediatly after flashing to the old CWM the problem was gone away. Also, in a case of a possible kernel panic due to doing some stuff with Xposed modules CWM was the only recovery I could get access into.
Now, the problem is the following. Yesterday I installed the CWM Touch version 6.0.4.7, which I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052091. After installing it everything was normal. However, after one hour or so the phone screen wouldnt turn off when I pressed the Power Button. In fact the Power Menu appeared, but the screen, as I said, dindt get to sleep mode. To top that, after freezing for a second the phone suddenly turned off, and then get to the infamous black screen with the model logo looping and looping.
Fortunately, after pressing Volume Up+Menu+Power I could get to the Recovery, but not after quite some seconds pressing these three buttons. And in some times it would not get me to the recovery, but instead completely rebooting the phone and working again. Just to, in half an hour, freezing and looping again and again and again.
This problem happened to me with virtually every ROM I installed, being Neat ROM, Archi, and even CM11 from Temasek. Nothing would solve that problem. The only remedy I had was a temporary one, which consisted on uninstalling and reinstalling again the kernel (I used boeffla) and the problem would not disappear that way. Also, when wiping data, for some weird reason it gave an error message while wiping the /preload partition, in the Mounts and Storage menu.
Until I got home today, and then flashed through Odin the old CWM Touch version 6.0.3.2, that finally stopped the problems. I tested it by pressing the Power buton again and again and it hadnt redirected me to the black bootloop screen. Seriously, I am wakelocking my phone on an intensive basis and nothing has happened for now, and I think it probably wont happen again. Maybe it takes three seconds, maybe the Power Menu displays again, but no bootloop again.
So I ask to you, what is happening on my phone that it wont run recoveries younger than my old 6.0.3.2
IMPORTANT EDIT: THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT SOLVED YET
Some hours ago, I was chatting using Whatsapp while charging the phone on an USB charger, when it suddenly suffered the black screen bootloop again. This time was unexpected, since I was using the CWM Touch 6.0.3.2, the one supposed to work fine. So for now I feel completely finished. My phone is officialy into a unsolvable problem.
But, thinking about it, there were some things that might help you:
-This time I did not uninstall and reflash the kernel: When I got to the recovery menu, I just selected "reboot", as such, without flashing anything else, and the phone then worked as fine, booting into the ROM bootanimation screen (this time the Neat ROM bootanimation). So basically a manual reboot through Recovery got me out of this. Also, I kept using the phone until now and there werent more problems, at least for now.
-As far as I can recall, these problems started some weeks ago, when I accidentally formated the internal SDcard. I was using PhilZ Touch Recovery and flashing a ROM as usual, when I selected without knowledge the option "Format /data and /data/media (sdcard)" in the Mounts and Storage menu. I did this after doing the usual Full Wipe before flashing an new ROM, and after that I had to turn off the phone in order to insert a ROM in the external SD card to flash it through the recovery to make the phone working again. But when I wanted to get back to the recovery, I couldnt. I had to flash CWM 6.0.3.2 because it was the only recovery that let me access to the recovery menu-the already installed PhilZ wont allow me to access to the recovery menu. So in CWM I got to the External SD card and flashed a Neat ROM, and got the phone working again. And after that I reflashed PhilZ. But since then the phone started to experiment these freezes, reboots and bootloops. One happened to me when in College, and couldnt get out of it because PhilZ wont respond to the Manual Recovery command. I had to wait to get home, to reflash the CWM 6.0.3.2 recovery through Odin because that Recovery was the only responding. And in that moment it did well, and didnt have more reboot problems. Until I flashed 6.0.4.7, which is why I am here.
-Lastly, about the reason I trust in CWM 6.0.3.2: Some time ago, when flashing Blackbox ROM 2.0.2, I downloaded the Gravity Box module from Xposed, and installed it alongside with other modules, which, supposedly, caused a kernel panic problem that sent my phone into the dreaded black bootloop again. I was using PhilZ recovery, and as you may expect now, I couldnt get access to it, so I flashed the CWM 6.0.3.2 recovery, which let me access to a recovery. I too flashed TWRP, but it accessed for one second to the recovery menu, and then faded away, returning to the bootloop logo screen. So basically PhilZ and TWRP failed me during that kernel panic problem, while CWM stood the problem. And thats why I turn to this recovery when everything else fails.
And thats why I am troubled now, because this recovery is showing signs of failure

I used 6.0.4.7 and I had the problems previously described....I mean, I used a more updated version than the one you propose. Do you believe its gonna work better?
And thats why I will stick to 6.0.3.2 until someone tells me whats happening. If an updated version of 6.0.4.4 gives me problems...well, go imagine.
I can confirm that 6.0.4.4 works. I Also tested it for nandroid bk up and restore and it works. I have flashed the latest tw 4.3 and the old 4.1.2 and aokp/cm/aosp 4.4.2 and all flashes with no errors. I have 6.0.4.7 but not tested it this is why I said to you to use 6.0.4.4
Only thing I haven't tested is adb.

If anyone is interested, please look the OP, as it has been edited to describe the new problems.
Best thing to do now is go bk to stock firmware with Odin and see if any problems persist. Totally stock for a few days.

I will try that in a few weeks, I am a bit busy by now to test anything...
Fortunately, the CWM 6.0.3.2, while not infallible, works better than the other recoveries...today I only had one bootloop problem, solved by simply rebooting from the recovery....I can keep it for one week or two, it doesnt worry me for now.
Also, there is a guide to reflash stock? Sometimes I reflashed stock, but it kept bootlooping on the Samsung animation...probably because I didnt know how to wipe data while reflashing stock. Thats a little problem I have with reflashing stock, any help is appreciated.
Odin wipes the phone while flashing. What rom are you on? Custom
Well, I have to bump this post again because I am having the same problems again.
I am using CWM 6.0.3.2 as my current recovery. Today, I was browsing the Facebook app when I pressed the Power Button. Then, a lag of 2 seconds happened, the Power Menu displayed on screen, and the phone got into the black boot screen again. But this time I could not get to the recovery. Whenever I pressed Volume up+Power+Menu there appeared a black screen featuring the CWM logo and then it returned again to the black boot screen again. So what I did was to remove the battery, then eject the Exterior SD Card (A Lexar, 32 gb) and put again the battery in its place. The phone started all normal again, and when I put again the SD Card it continued to work normally.
So, what do you think its happening? Not even my old recovery, the one which works better for me, is reliable anymore. Could this be a component of my phone failing? Particulary the emmc chip? Or its not a hardware problem? Should I sent the phone to reparation?
How much data do you have on ext sd? Maybe phone is scanning ext sd and if alot of data is there that maybe the cause of the reboots. Try a different sd for a few days or none at all. See if you have the problem.

I have almost 29 gb on the sd, but I had that data since the very first day I bought the card....thats more than one year ago. And I started having the problems since february of this year....
The problem has not reappeared. But what I still have is an insane battery consumption. See, I use apps like Facebook and Twitter, but I too use Greenify to hibernate them. It even drains too much battery by using the web browser. And I repeat, those problems trace back to February...which is the month when I accidentaly formatted the internal SD Card...
One year old + battery using Facebook and twitter and all the rest of them very power hungry apps are no good for battery life. Greenify uses battery, people forget that too. Remove all the apps above and test. Also if anything formatting int SD will speed up the phone not slow it down. It get rid if all the bit left over from ROMs/Recovery's/kernel's. Formatting int sd is good for the phone once in a while. Just remember to back up data first

Thanks! Whenever I can, I will try those tips for battery saving.
But what still puzzles me is the "Sudden reboot problem". It vaguely happens, but when it does I am basically screwed, and each time the reboots seems to get worse from recovering....Also, the reboot problems started after formatting the int sd card for first time. And, after that, I remember that, when I wiped data for installing a new ROM, it gave me "(E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext])" or, something similar. Does this help you for identifying my problem?
OK, now I am royally screwed
I have suffered another sudden bootloop problem, and this time, even by removing the ext SD Card, phone doesnt restarts. Also, I cant access to the Recovery Menu. It does appear for a while and then fades away. But the worst part is that I cannot get into the Download Menu. When I get to the select screen, when I cant choose between Continue and Cancel, the Volume buttons doesnt work. I can not get into Continue button. And then it restarts.
So this time I can not even access to the Download Menu.
I am using the same ROM as before: Neat ROM 6.7 with CWM Touch 6.0.3.2 and Boeffla Kernel
I dont know if I can even send the phone to repair, as seen that I may have the Binary Counter...and I cant even access to Download.
Please, really, help me to get out of this, so I can factory reset this.
Take the battery out then hold buttons for download mode and while holding these buttons put the battery back in and pray mate. Not being able to get into download/recovery mode as you know is really not good. Maybe a jig to force it to download mode.

I did that, and I got into the Download Menu. But the menu was frozen as usual. I could not access to the Odin Menu. It didnt matter which option I chosed, since both of them didnt work and the menu would still be frozen, and then restarting the phone a few seconds later. I mean, I got to the screen where you can choose to get to Download Mode or to restart the phone, and it still was a stuck screen, no matter what I chose, the options did not work, and then the phone restarted again.
And I have no jig next to me. So, I am screwed. For real.
Im going to take it to the store where I bought it, which is near where I live...To see if they can do something. Otherwise...I think I will throw away this phone. Its been almost 2 years, and recently it started to fail, probably because of a crappy emmc chip...that store sells the Moto G, which is great, since I dont plan to waste a lot of money on a new phone, watching how this has ended.
And it sucks that I can not recover the data in the Internal SD
