Hi,
I need help!!
I have been loading custom ROM's using CWM occasionally and yesterday when I tried to flash CM9 ROM my ATT S2 got stuck at boot screen. Then I tried to do a factory reset. Doing factory reset got me stuck at "Formatting Data" and it never moved from there for 1 hr then the phone started booting again. Ever since then I am not able to boot back. I have tried all possible options - every time I try I get stuck at Formatting /data. I tried installing Siyah-v2.6.14-att vis ODIN and tried to restore from my back up. It failed saying "Error while restoring / Data!". I installed factory stock rom via ODIN still the same. I tried wiping the data using darkside super wipe it too got stuck Formatting Data and nothing happened.
Is my data corrupted? I dont know what to do. Can some one please help? Should I try re-partitioning? I am bit scared to do that.

I purchased a used vibrant off ebay and it still has the previous owners google acct. Tried to remove it by doing a factory reset,it rebooted and got hung on the vibrant screen.The phone is rooted, so I tried to boot into recovery,it rebooted and hung again.Stumped here, any advice would be appreciated.
If you can get into recovery you can factory reset there.
you could also try formatting select partitions, data and cache are most likely the ones needed.
You could also just install a wiping rom on top.

I am selling my old galaxy s due to having a new phone and I have made it freeze when it boots.
It was flashed onto myICS when I was using it and before handing It over I wanted to wipe everything so it was clean for the new owner. I did this in the phone options and then also in recovery mode to make sure, but after rebooting it is just stuck at the galaxy s boot loader.
I tried flash another Rom onto it and the same thing happened even though odin said it was successful.
I'm not sure what to do now as I am scared of truly bricking the phone so I am asking what should I do to get it up and running again?
Thanks
hmm
it should work after reflashing and whiping data/cash in recovery mode
No luck with it.
I tried wipe data and reboot and had no luck. Then tried reflashing, wiping data and still no luck.
Do you think it might be something with the kernal thatI had installed with the myICS rom, not being compatable with the rom I was flashing to?

Didn't you format partitions before flashing? Have you tried doing a fully clean install?
did u try to flash a stock rom via odin
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, P6200.
ROM: CM9.
Started with the device rebooting every time I tried to do nandroid backup when it got to backing up /data. I attempted to factory reset but then CWM (6.0.1.0) just hanged at formatting /data.
Then I attempted to do factory reset from the ROM (CM9). The device got stuck in a bootloop of trying to format /data and just hanging there. The device kept turning itself back on when turned off to go into this ridiculous loop.
Is my on-board sdcard fried or something? Anything I can do?
UPDATE: Fixed it, I hope. . . Ran f2sck from recovery on mmcblk0p10, needed three rounds before all the errors were gone. Then could successfully do factory reset and reinstall ROM. Restoring from backups now, hopefully nothing borks again,
try to get back to the stock rom via odin it will overwrite the data partition and of course the recovery image so ure back to 0 than and are able to continue what u wanted to do
Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.
First off I am on mdk and rooted and up until today have been running hd 10.2. I had been having some weird things happen with twrp 2502 so I went into goo and tried to update to the newest version of twrp. it downloaded and went through with everything and I rebooted into recovery. once I got into recovery it was showing I was still on 2502, but it was asking for a password which I had never seen before. I backed out and tried to boot into my rom again and it got stuck on the samsung custom screen. pulled the battery a few times and still kept getting stuck. went back into recovery and tried to restore a known good backup that I had restored before, but it keeps failing. I had rls12 on my phone so I tried installing it dirty since I cant wipe anything due to the whole password thing in twrp which said it was succesful but still gets stuck on the samsung custom screen. it sits there for about 10 seconds and loops. I tried about 10 more times to get my backup restored and it finally finished and booted into the rom. I left it this way for an hour or so and did some stuff with my phone, tried to update twrp again which did the same thing again and still shows 2502. after the reboot I am back to the same problem of not being able to do anything in twrp except restore or dirty flash, I cant get the usb to mount in twrp so I cant try putting another rom on the phone unless I go and buy a micro sd adapter.
I am in the process of downloading a stock mdk rom to try and flash in odin, but is there anything I can try before I go through with this, or is it pretty much my only option.
after some more research I think I figured out what caused all this. I wiped the data partition with the old version of twrp which screwed it up pretty bad. Apparently the older versions of twrp were known to have this problem. I kept trying to restore, but trying to restore kept failing on the data partition. After about 25 attempts of trying to restore just the data partition I was able to get it to work finally, and then I restored the the others and got it to boot back into the rom. like an idiot I rebooted the phone back into recovery after it finished and had the same problem again. another couple hours wasted trying to restore the data partition and it worked again and this time i was able to get twrp to update and then went back to recovery and formated the data partition again and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now to figure out why hd rls 12 wont install.
