Hi all,
my prime is stuck on CWM. I haven't changed the ROM in anyway, but did install CWM and used it to back up the device. I did a factory reset and now it just keeps booting into CWM. I have restored my backup, which appears to have worked, but still stuck in CWM.
It's on ICS
Any ideas ?

Brick 1a.
If you can't get ADB to work, use these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
My device was bricked for several months before I picked it back up and found these working drivers.

Hi, so I bought a used TF201 from someone that had already rooted and put CM10 on the tablet. However, idiot me decided to factory reset using the system settings instead of going into the CWM and doing a factory reset. This put me into a CWM loop, as I could only boot into CWM recovery mode. I used this guide to unbrick my device, and it worked. However, the problem is that everytime I want to update CM10 to a new nightly, I get stuck in CWM recovery again, and have to apply the fix every time. Is there any way to fix this? I don't want to have to do the unbricking every time I update CM10. Thanks!

Stop using CWM. That is what is causing all your problems. Go to TWRP website and get ICS version. Make sure you don't flash the jellybean version on your ICS bootloader or you might brick it.
Hi all,
I think I F'ed up. So I've just rooted my phone and was trying out flashing a kernel for my i9100. However after the flashing the first kernel my phone got stuck in boot. I've tried flashing severeal other kernels compatible with i9100 (via odin and mini-usb). They all install, however my phone still gets stuck at the boot screen. I'm using anrdoid 4.1.2.
Help I don't want to lose my phone!
Thank you!
EDIT:
Also, I think perhaps my ROM might be damaged? I tried the backup recovery in CWMR, but the recovery crashed halfway as my battery dropped disconnected (didn't have the back cover on). If I try to restore the backup now it says: Error while restoring /system!

Thank you for your help! It's working again!
After installing a custom rom, my phone got bricked. Now I dont have any ideas how to do it. I even made a backup before installing a custom rom through CWM. But I cannot even boot into CWM because of the bootloop. Please guys. I need help.

Just use One touch upgrade. Connect your phone to your computer and then start the upgrade. Your devices will have an hard- reset, and the cwm will be deleted.
So I've got this issue I never had before.
It started happening after I screwed something up with the EFS I think.
I was flashing some custom roms after the 4.3 official update and then tried to go back to 4.1 official.
Had the no network problem, but fixed it flashing the vodafone stock 4.3 official again.
Reading all the stuff about EFS confused me, and I deleted the EFS folder and copied an old backup (or so I think, because I'm not sure. I had a EFS backup on my sdcard and extsd I think).
I no longer have the no network issue, but everytime I flash a stock rom through Odin the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo, so I have to root the phone and install TWRP using Odin and then wipe. I know this way fixes this, but what I'm looking for is to fixed the problem completely so I don't have to install a custom recovery or root after using Odin to go back to official samsung rom.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
Maybe the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo because all of this EFS thing, but, like I said, I no longer have the no network issue.
All I want is for the phone to boot normally into the setup after flashing a samsung rom using Odin.
It just gets stuck every single time since I had this problem with the EFS, when before this never happened.
try to install the rom in recovery mode

I had this problem before (flash 4.1.2 in current 4.2.2 by odin), here's my solution.
Maybe you can install your ROM in recovery mode. (CWM based)
Remember to wipe completely before installing

I can flash custom roms through TWRP, but what I'm looking for is to be able to do so again through Odin without ending up stuck at boot always and having to wipe through TWRP to be able to boot properly.
Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a fix so I don't get stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.
I know the trick wipe factory reset but what I really want is to simply avoid getting stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.

Factory reset is also available in default recovery as well, then what is the issue? Flash then boot to recovery do factory reset.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to find out why my SGS3 now gets stuck at boot when before it never happened.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix it and go back to before, when it never got stuck at boot. There should be a way I guess.
Hello all,
I want to give my friend my Galaxy Note. Due to this, I attempted to do a factory reset from the settings menu, but it would reboot to TWRP instead and get locked in a boot screen. I tried flashing a third-party ROM (CM), but stupidly forgot to wipe the device since I thought I had done it before, resulting in it hanging at the boot animation. Could someone point me to the right direction on how to restore the device to Stock using a tool like Odin? Thanks.
P.S. Does anyone know how to get into TWRP? I can't seem to find a key combination, I have to do it from the TWRP application (yet I can't access the application).
UPDATE: I have managed to get into TWRP, however restoring fails, as it goes back to the TWRP logo. Wipe also does not work.
Solved, what I did was flash a recovery via Odin, which resulted in an error. Kies detected it since it had an error, so it was able to be restored.
