I did a factory reset via settings yesterday. Gave me quite a scare when the phone was stuck on the Samsung logo for pretty long. Rebooted to cwm recovery and the phone booted fine. Shouldn't have done any damage to the phone right?
First boot always takes a while. Shouldn't have done any harm

Ah thankfully. Sorry, i'm pretty afraid what happens to my phone as i'm still quite new to the android scene.. When i meant factory reset, i meant the one in the settings and now CWM recovery.

After flashing a rom? I always do before but don't think I ever have after. Will try as soon as I'm home, thanks

Yeah, it's a factory reset, you can perform it at any time.

Hi guys, I have this weird problem.
Today I bought a S3 from a guy.
When the phone screen turns off because i don't use it, it doesn't wake and reboots.
When I use it, and screen is on, never reboots.
What to do?
I flashed the newest ROM and the problem still exists
R: Rebbot after screen turned off
Have you done a factory reset before flashing?

I mean a real factory reset, not the one found in samsung's settings, but in clockworknod's.
Just root, install clockworkmod, factory reset and flash a custom rom or a samsung stock rom edited to run on rooted s3.
If you've already done that, might also try dalvik cache format...but i dunno how much help it can be.

Ok, so I've rooted 2 phones so far with no problem. But when I did it to my friend, the phone won't lauch the rom any more (tried with slimbean).
I used this method before I installed slimbean: http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
After installing it, it wouldn't load. So I reinstalled my backup that I did after I rooted, and nothing, the phone is just stuck on the galaxy s2 screen and a yellow exclamation triangle below.
I can boot into cwm or download mode, but I can't transfer files on my phone I think.
Please help, if it was my phone I wouldn't be so desperate but I really don't want to screw up my friends phone.
If you can boot into cwm and download mode it aint bricked.
All it is....is a borked OS......I'm guessing that if you were on JB before, that when you backed up, you didn't include the preload partition. If your chosen custom rom zip is still on your phone, boot into cwm and flash it again. Thiss time though, before you reboot the phone post flash, wipe cache, dalvic and data.....then reboot.

Hey, ok then well I thought bricked meant you can't load the rom.
My backup actually worked now so all is ok, but I can't install any custom rom - every one of them just loops indefinitely at the loading once I flash it, and after that it won't do anything until i revert my backup.
Are you sure you're rooted?

Yes, I used the guide in the link and checked some apps that required root.
Your custom rom installs......are you doing the post install wipes?
Are you waiting long enough for the phone to complete the first boot?
It always takes longer than usual for that initial boot......

Yes, I wiped the cache afterwards and I waited enough.. 15 minutes sure is enough of a wait, is it not?
Yeah....15 minutes is plenty long enough......but when I said wipes....I didn't mean just cache....I meant dalvic and data too.....

Clearly, you haven't wiped data.
Recently I factory reset my rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 without really thinking. Now on reboot, it seems to be stuck on the ' Samsung GALAXY SII GT-19100' start up screen (with the yellow triangle). I realized after I did the factory reset that it was a bad idea so any help would be greatly appreciated
If it helps, I am rooted with Jeboo Kernel
I've done a number of factory resets.....in both the android menu and cwm........
All it does is wipe any user installed apps and user settings.....it doesn't even get rid of photos taken using the phones camera......so it doesn't affect whether your phone boots or not.......

So, how do I fix this problem. Cannot even turn off the phone as it goes black and then straight into this screen. Can get into download screen though.
OK....so you can't boot the phone....
And I'm guessing you can't access CWM?
In that case, you only really have one option......flash a stock firmware via Odin and re root.......
