I want to claim my warranty for faulty charging and ive done a nandroid backup of the rom before ive installed ICS(same ver as my last one but had different apps dunno why it has different apps) and JB. So now my question is can i use the nandroid backup while im on jb and then flash triangle away ? Is there anything i missed?
Anyone? Hoping to do it today cuz i got a free time.

Hey how can you backup the factory rom before rooting or flashing?
We can't yet, I've read that clock works is working on a recovery.

Its available around here somewhere so there's no need to be worried about backing up the stock 2.2. You just need to make sure you can use Odin if you want to go back to stock.
I flashed the ROM(v2.5)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440396
a few days earlier using CWM v4.0.0.9
It worked alright for a few days.
Today morning I woke up, my phone was stuck on a boot loop.
Should I just flash a stock ROM through odin??
Resolved: you need to flash on clean stock 2.3.x
i have the same problem a few weeks ago, when i use The End v3 ROM , then i flash my phone with another custom ROM through CWM,, that's it
ps: now i use Ace Of Spades ROM by Trent Turvey
Thanks
Will try it out

Go to recovery and wipe data, cache.
It should work then.

I have been through bootloops at least 5-6 times. This has never worked for me. Always had to factory reset to make it work.
To maker of this thread:
Try having Nandroid backup once in a while. And don't worry, this seems to be your first time as you're freaking out too much. Bootloops aren't hard brick. Resetting to factory defaults or restoring Nandroid backups or flashing totally another custom ROM should work.

If that is the case, what you said could be followed
And yes I also followed SuperAce609 method for freeing memory and damn it works
Maybe there is already an answer to this, have been searching for a while.
And my phone has been off for 4-5 months but i wanna try again.
Its softbrick, boot loops but i have cwm 5.0.2.3 that i installed after that happend.
The thing is that i dont wanna lose my data so im wondering if its possible to update the firmware without loosing data?
and where can i get the 4.0 ics or atleast earlier versionens as a file to download then put in the memorycard ?
regards
edit: is there a way to backup everything atleast with cwm? i know there is backup and restore but i think that didnt backuped everything last time a tried.
Check out any of the custom rom threads, or if you want stock, check out intratech's thread, flash it and your bootloop will be gone. Good luck.
Edit: No, there's only the backup/restore option.

You should not lose data .
But if you do then restore with your backup .

Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...
I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.
Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.
So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.
At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

Yeah, I'm not too worried about having to go through all that.. I should be able to restore apps from my external SD, I would think...
Did you have the same problem? Completely soft bricked and needed a full wipe? I'm a bit worried that the 99% wipe didn't work.

How did you re-root/recovery after the odin to MDK?
I have the MDK bootloader, but I've never had to odin back to stock.

The same way as when I first got my phone. I Odin'd the pre-release MD2 kernel, used motochopper to grant root access and install SuperSU, Odin'd back to MDK, then downloaded GooManager to install TWRP.
*Odin back MDK kernel... Not full factory image. Just clarifying

No matter what rom I use, AOSP or TouchWiz, I get a bootloop. Usually I can solve these issues myself, I've softbricked my Android devices tons of times since I got my first Android (Samsung Fascinate) in 2010, and I've managed to get out of all those situations, but this one has me stumped.
The problem began today. Randomly after booting into Philz Touch recovery, I got an error that read "could not mount /data to setup /data/media path." I used this fix and it worked, unfortunately, I lost all of my internal SD card data. However, since then, every 4.3 and 4.4 rom I've flashed (TouchWiz and AOSP) just doesn't work. To be more specific, I initially tried today's (8/02) Cyanogenmod nightly...bootlooped. Then I tried the rom I was on when the problem initially occurred...bootlooped. Then I flashed this rom later...bootlooped. Naturally, I did a factory reset/dalvik wipe/cache wipe before each rom flash.
Do I have to flash stock 4.1.2 again? I really don't want to if I can avoid it, but I'm downloading the rom anyway.
EDIT: I flashed 4.1.2...it bootlooped. I performed a factory reset and cache wipe and it STILL bootloops. Something I did notice is that it says "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)." I noticed that earlier back when I was using Philz recovery as well. Could that be a reason for all of these bootloops?
Did you backup your efs data? I'll been flashing for years and never gave it a 2nd thought... until a few weeks ago when my kids while playing with the phone froze it... and I had efs errors and bootloops. ..
I was able to odin the efs backup but unfortunately I've also locked my bootloader (still not sure how I did that)...
Currently I'm running safe strap with 4.3 skynote-n3bula hybrid... do I miss kk? Yepper... but at least I have my phone back...
The efs fix is in this forum.. try search? ... I will look to see if I saved the files some where...

I unfortunately didn't backup my efs. I didn't know anything about efs until today when I ran into this problem and started googling around. Do you know of an efs backup that works? I'll give a search around the forums for a fix.
