[Help] Galaxy Ace 3 stuck in a boot loop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this is considered a boot loop but when turned on, after the logo it turns into a blank screen.
Anyway, I was stupid enough to install 3D chainfire when it's not compatible (I neglected the description since it worked on my previous galaxy ace) ... Soooo can anyone help me on this?
I've tried going to recovery mode to:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition (but shows error)
Not sure what else can I do anymore. I'm noob at these. Since Ace 3 is fairly new, it's quite hard to find a solution with google haha.. Also, I have zero knowledge about flashing ROM or of the sort..
Extra info in case it helps:
- My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT - S7275R
- Rooted with a Chinese universal rooting program
- When entering recovery mode, it shows "no command" for a few seconds before entering the menu.
Thanks in advance for helping!

For try 1, it's not working
For try 2, I don't really understand the way to do it. I'd downloaded adb, installed kies. Other than that, I'm not sure what to do.
Sorry, really a noob here.

This is embarrassing, but I don't really know if I'm even doing it right or wrong. After all, I don't fully understand how adb work(even after reading about it).

Bricked my TF201 by changing build.prop

I have changed the build.prop of my rooted TF201 to play the gameloft games.
After changing the TF201 got stuck in a bootloop. I tried the hard reset but it is still not starting.
I read that it is possible to push the orginal build.prop to the TF201 via APX-Mode but i dont now how to do it.
My computer recognizes the TF201 as a Asus Transformer Prime APX mode or in MTP when i start it regular. Unfortunatly i can not get any access to the Data of my TF201.
Is Asus able to see the root and that i changed the build.prop if i sent it to RMA?
Would be so happy if anybody could help me.
Thank you.
(And i know it was stupid to change the build.prop but didnt expected to brick it http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif)
Hi there.
I had a week of the same problem. I hadn't deleted anything but mine was in the boot loop too. After trying everything I managed to reinstall the OS by:
1. Downloading firmware from Asus site (it must be same or later version as installed already and must be the one for your region - if you don't know your current version, the small text described in step 4 below will tell you and step 4 can be done multiple times)
2. Freshly formatting a micro SD card with FAT
3. Placing the ZIP file (the zip inside the zip that Asus provide) in the root of SD CARD
4. Restarting the tablet by holding power and volume down until small text appears at top of screen at which point press volume up
Your tablet will boot from the SD card and reinstall your OS.
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST but you'll have a working tablet.
Cheers.

Can't you push the original build.prop via ADB Shell when it's almost booted up?
Code:
adb mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb push c:\...\build.prop /system/

Mine shows up, but only when "Camera (PTP)" is selected instead of "Media device (MTP)" in the "Settings >> Storage >> USB computer connection" section.
But of course, that won't help you in this case since you can't change this setting.
I can't find anything about having to switch to PTP for ADB to work so you may want to post a question about it in the Q&A forum.
A guy had the exact same problem here last week after changing the build.prop for the exact same reason. He was able to recover his problem using the same method that the root scripts use for writing to data. Let me try and find the thread and you can try to contact him.

I actually dont know what version is on my Prime. I did the official update two weeks ago. So it is probably V9.4.2.11.

Does your device constantly reboot or does it stay at the boot animation?

It stays constantly in the boot animation.
and adb made easy doesn't have your device listed?
What if you "open CMD for ADB commands" and then in that window type "adb devices" without the quotation marks?
Also what does windows device manager show with regards to android devices?
EDIT: unplug and plug back in a couple of times, does windows make it's usual connection noises?

adb made easy and cmd dont show any adb devices.
the devices manager shows
mobile devices: Asus Android MTB Device (could not be started)
windows is always making the pluggingsound
Wierd, ADB should still see the device as it seemed to when the other guy screwed his build.prop
If I reboot, ADB picks up the device during the boot animation and lets me start interacting straight away.
EDIT: Unfortunately, without ADB, I'm not gonna be able to help any further. Hopefully the guy how recovered his from this state will pop in and be able to help you out.
When and where did you get the device from. If you're still in your return window and feel like being dishonest, then you could take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement. However, if it has to go back to ASUS, I'm fairly certain that they would pick this up straight away, I could be wrong though. They may just look at it see it doesn't boot, reflash it and then test it and send it back.

Galaxy S2 screen broke, need to access or wipe data

Hello,
My galaxy S2 fell and my digitizer is apparently non-working - I can see the screen sort of, but there is no touch response.
Anyway, I can't let just about anyone who I take it to have access to my data, since my contacts are stored on the google cloud, I have them all anyway, but I either need to:
1. Access the phone via PC and wipe the data by emulating the screen on my PC.
I tried using Kies air to do it - it recognizes the phone, but I can't open it through it because my phone is locked and it won't give me access otherwise. Of course I can't unlock it since the digitizer is dead.
I tried using software like droid-at-screen, installing the proper SDK components, BUT the phone never got recognized. It is my deduction that I have to enable USB debugging, which, again, I can't do since I don't have the touch interface.
2. The other solution would be to wipe all data manually, which I assumed was done holding the 2 volume buttons + power button, but all that ever got me to was the lock screen along with a "safe mode" in the corner.
I posted this in the android Q&A, since I feel this is more of an android rather than model related issue. Thank you.
If you can still see the screen enough, I think with USB OTG you can connect a computer mouse and use that to navigate to the wipe data screen

Hello everybody
at first I installed Ultimate Dynamic Navbar through this:

after that I enabled it and it rebooted my device with no problem, but it didnt hide the navbar, so I disabled it to remove it later,
then my device rebooted and it's bricked!!!
Now:
1- Start the device
2- Sony logo
3- Black screen (the screen is on)
From recovery:
ADB shell : error: closed
ADB is working fine except the shell
Device: Sony tablet s

The reason you are getting the "error: closed" message is because System Recovery installed with Android 4.0.3r5a inhibits use of ADB Shell.
I will post the hack recovery which enables adb shell in the recovery when i find it.

Depends. i dont have root anymore so i cant.
but if you get adb (google it) and the drivers for your phone,
you might be able to push the files with root access with "adb root" (i think anyway)
but if youve got the same problem as me and when you try anything in the aio tool it shows " "su" binary not found no root " (something like that)
than unluckily i cant help you anymore.
ive ordered a pickup from sony since i realised i had warranty with it.
fingers crossed they cant find out its been rooted.
sorry for any dissapointment. if you bought this of someone then phone sony and give theme the serial no. . theyll check if you have warranty
(dont tell them anything about the aio or rooting it. say it was an ota update)

[Q] Recover internal memory from stock S II fallen into reboot loop + broken screen

Hi all, it's my first post here
My Galaxy S II (stock ROM/recovery) has fallen into a reboot loop while I was texting and I'm positive I didn't install new apps recently, so I can't really tell it's an app bug. Last thing I did before texting was disabling Swype.
All I know is that TouchWiz now crashes after boot displaying its usual dialog window.
In addition to that, I've just broken the display, so I can't see anything going on screen...
How can I recover pictures from the internal storage? How can I stop the reboot loop long enough to back up everything with Kies?
I've tried booting in safe mode but the phone keeps on rebooting and I have no visual feedback of successful activation of safe mode. Prior to breaking the screen I could access the stock recovery, so I guess I can still do it, if needed.
TIA,
Andrea
Recovery should be enough if it works. So try getting into recovery and connecting it via ADB. Then you can get data with "adb pull <location-on-phone>"

Thank you for your reply!
When you say "recovery", you mean stock recovery or a more advanced one (CWM, etc.)?
I've never used ADB, I'll try to set it up as per these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
EDIT: Do I need to enable debugging on the phone? It's currently disabled and I can't do anything about it because of the reboot loop...
don't know
I don't think that it's possible to recover the data on your device's internal storage now. Rest if anything works do post your experience here with respective procedure or snapshots.

Oh crap ... yes, i think you need to have debugging ON (never actually tried without it). Well, you can still check it. So set up ADB (hope those instructions are good, I can't help you there as I don't know how things work on Mac) and type in "adb devices". If everything's OK, you should get one device listed (some weird number). Then type in "adb pull <location on phone> <location on computer (optionally)>. If you want more info about commands, just type "adb" and you'll get everything listed. That should be it ... if it works in first place :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Stock recovery should do fine.

Yeah, I've tried with another (working) S II and it seems you really need debugging turned on...
Is it possibile to use a custom recovery to copy data from internal memory to the SD? I could try to do it blindfolded :cyclops:

Possible ... maybe. But that would mean you need a recovery with file manager - and file managers are usually touch-based. So you can't do much if your screen is broken. I suggested ADB because it was the only option that would work for sure and you don't need screen for it ...
But ... maybe there still is a way ... You could try reinstalling ROM via ODIN and syncing with Kies. Download stock ROM for your country and carrier from www.sammobile.com/firmwares, get your phone into download mode and insatall via Odin. This should work. You're not doing any factory resets, wipes or anything - just "dirty flashing" the ROM over existing one, so data and (most) apps remain untouched. Then you can try connecting with Kies. From there I don't know exactly how stuff works (don't have a Samsung device), but hope it can launch without touching anything on the phone.
I suggest removing the SIM card before trying, so it doesn't get stuck on PIN unlock screen.
This is really your last chance ...
Your next option is changing the screen
Good luck

You're right but, if I'm not mistaken, CWM "touch" file manager can also be used with the physical buttons. I've never tried that, can anybody please confirm?

That's actually an excellent idea! Now, I only need to be sure that, after re-flashing, the device will be immeditely accessible by Kies straight after boot without further intervention...

Hashcode and I have talked about it. There IS a working fastboot, but you can't get to it with a fastboot cable, and it's very buggy and not too useful. So it sounds like you are SOL. Sorry. :/

Hi,
I was in the same situation. Luckily, the Kindle was semi-recognized with Linux (adb devices shows ??????? with no permissions), I just had to add the udev rules to allow the device listed in lsusb and then I was able to chmod build.prop to get everything back to work.
Hope it helps

I didn't, though you should try my solution (I'd got a black screen after the grey logo).
I'm sorry but I won't try the factory reset to see if it works

Connect your device to your computer.
By typing "adb devices", you should get this output :
Code:
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Then type "lsusb" and note the ID of the Google Device (Should be 18d1:0001, but I'm not sure you will get the same).
Edit the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" and add the following lines (If the file doesn't exists create it). Replace 18d1 and 0001 with the values you get in lsusb :
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1",ATTR{idProduct}=="0001",SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1",ATTR{idProduct}=="0001",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
Run "sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules".
Restart your computer and you should be access your device using "adb shell".
