Phone stuck at starting screen, loading forever. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I tried to install android 4.1.2 for the first time for my Samsung Galaxy S (GTI-9000),
This is what i done so far:
1. Rooted the phone
2. Installed Clokwerk mode
3. Made a system backup
4. Wiped all data, wiped partition
5. Installed Android 4.1.2 (ParanoidAndroid)
6. Installed the WRONG GoogleApps. -> At this point i tried to remove them and i dont know really what happened because:
7. Now i cant reach the phone's sdcard. If i go in to the menu in recovery mode, to install a new rom, sdcard not found.
If i want to mount the usb storage, sdcrad not found. I cannot even connect via Kies, because sdcard just dead for some reason.
Now i have a phone that cannot boot, and cannot reach sdcard anyhow.
Please help me.
Anyobdy know how to bring back life to this piece of metal and plastic?

[Q] Do I need to re-format (partition) my Tab?

Wi-Fi Tab 10.1, rooted and running Bonsai 0.2, all was well until it suddenly turned off on me (crashed). I turned it on, and as soon as I got past the lockscreen, a bunch of apps started force closing, and the box asking which launcher you want to use was flashing incredibly fast, on and off, so you could not use it. I also think I saw a "database error" message in the notification area.
I rebooted a few times with same result, so I rebooted to recovery, wiped data, wiped cache and wiped dalvik. Flashed Bonsai, and Tab runs fine now, with one exception. When it boots, for a few seconds, the top part of the screen (maybe the top 20% of the screen - a rectangle) is garbage - all different colors. The tab gets past this and works fine, but I am wondering if I should reformat the SD card, using the "Partition SD Card" option in the Advanced section of CWM.
And, if I do this, what are the correct settings?
Any thoughts?
That static screen you're seeing is a know issue. It won't hurt anything. But one way to get rid of it is...
1. Make a nandroid backup
2. Transfer that backup to your computer
3. Flash stock retail recovery ( http://db.tt/wSIvJp5 ) in download mode with Odin
4. Wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery
5. Transfer nandroid backup back to your tab.
6. Flash cmw
7. Restore your back up via cmw
No more static screen anymore.
Excellent, I will do that tonight.
Many thanks!!

[Q] Vodafone 858 smart CyanogenMod: help please!

First of all, I would like to say hello, since I'm new on this forum!
So, to begin with, my problem is the following: I'm trying to install the CyanogenMod on my vodafone 858 smart. I followed the instructions on this forum:
-rooted my phone
-installed ROM Manager + Clockwork recovery
-in ROM Manager I selected Install ROM from SD card -> checked to make a backup, to wipe data and cache and to wipe dalvik cache
-phone rebooted into recovery mode -> could't see anything but the small hourglass
-waited for more then an hour, nothing changed, hourglass was still there
-took out battery, reinserted it, started phone and everything worked properly, but I still have 2.2 version of Android
-I tried to install CyanogenMod again, this time switching off my phone, and rebooting into recovery mode manually
-after rebooting into recovery mode, a message appeared, saying it is unpacking 1/2 (the process bar not moving anything not even after an hour) and below it states that the 'update has failed'
Could anyone please help me with this issue, I'd really like to upgrade my phone, but I can't seem to manage.
ps.: sorry if this has been asked, I couldn't find a similar thread.
Thank you!
HELP! My phone stuck on boot screen (or boot loop) can someone upload their backup of vodafone 858 phone (or system.img) file???
PLZ HELP My phone dont work...

I'm in need of some serious help..

I've been searching the internet up and down, and I haven't found an actual solution to the problem I'm currently having.
I just rooted my AT&T Galaxy S III earlier because I wanted to flash cyanogenmod 10 onto my phone. Admittedly, this was the first time I ever even tried rooting an Android device, and I think I messed up somewhere. I can access CWM, and I can get into download mode. When I go to turn the phone on, however, I get stuck on the Galaxy S III logo screen. Whenever I go into CWM and try to do well, just about anything, I keep getting one of two errors, "error mounting /sdcard!" or "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" I don't have an external sdcard on my phone, so the only sdcard I have is the internal one. Is there someway, anyway I can get my phone back into working order? Any help would be appreciated.
As per your post, You get stuck at Samsung galaxy s3 logo screen. It's called as bootloop.
Solution
1.Go to Recovery (CWM, if you have done everything right)
2.Wipe data/Factory reset.
3.Wipe chache.
4.Reboot.
If your phone starts & if you dont find your SD card(internal or external) , mount it manually through CWM.
Hope this solves your problem.

Can't turn on phone, phone not displaying memory (No OS??)

I need help.
I'm running this rom and lately my phone has just been rebooting randomly, well now its switched off and I can't get passed the "Samsung Galaxy S3" on boot. I don't even get to the omni animation.
I booted into recovery in an attempt to flash an old nightly but when I click on install TWRP says 0 internal memory and 0 external memory?
What do I do?
Please help, thanks.
Edit - Another thing, I went to reboot while in recovery and it said I had no OS installed?
It just occured to me that I could probably flash a rom/nightly via odin, since I can get into dl/recovery mode, but since it says 0gb int and ext when in recovery, will this work?
Not detecting memory seems like a hardware issue to me, but I know literally nothing, just asking/helping/promting
ps when i plug in the charger, the battery logo comes up
although its empty (not green), and it has a little circle in the middle to indicating loading of some kind, but the circle doesn't spin, like it's crashed.
i know i have at least 50% battery because it says so when i enter recovery
Recovery format sdcard system data cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .

[Q] Help ? Bricked Tab ? GT-P3110

Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
