Ok so the weirdest thing has happened to my phone. i was running Paranoid android 4.0 and going about my life with no problems. i wake up this morning and my phone was SUPER slow and I reboot except it never made it past the samsung logo. I can get it to boot into clockwork and i figured wiping/re-installing the rom might fix things but now its really weird. i can flash images but i cannot wipe /data or /system or /wipe dalvik cache.
..still bootloops after re-flashing PA and gapps. and since it doesn't go past the samsung logo the samsung rootkit can't work with it.
CWM works on every other level but when it comes to working with internal storage. is it possibly my onboard memory might be corrupted or something?
So i got it working..
I pushed the SD SWAP, rebooted and managed to wipe /data /system and so forth and re-installed PA and got everything working...my internal memory is still corrupted but the phone works. idk what has happened but its a "fix"

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, P6200.
ROM: CM9.
Started with the device rebooting every time I tried to do nandroid backup when it got to backing up /data. I attempted to factory reset but then CWM (6.0.1.0) just hanged at formatting /data.
Then I attempted to do factory reset from the ROM (CM9). The device got stuck in a bootloop of trying to format /data and just hanging there. The device kept turning itself back on when turned off to go into this ridiculous loop.
Is my on-board sdcard fried or something? Anything I can do?
UPDATE: Fixed it, I hope. . . Ran f2sck from recovery on mmcblk0p10, needed three rounds before all the errors were gone. Then could successfully do factory reset and reinstall ROM. Restoring from backups now, hopefully nothing borks again,
try to get back to the stock rom via odin it will overwrite the data partition and of course the recovery image so ure back to 0 than and are able to continue what u wanted to do
Hey
I have a Galaxy Note 2 International Version (GT-N7100), Rooted and was running the Illusion 4.2.2 ROM and TWRP Custom Recovery
Since yesterday, i have been just been stuck on the Boot Loop.
I dont mind, unRooting and then rooting again, however i would like to backup my internal storage, is there anyway i can do this?
I would really appreciate your guidance.
Thanks alot
Okay, so i went into the TWRP recovery and i wiped the Cache and Dalvik Cache, then rebooted to system, there then optimized the apps and then got stuck on the staring apps loop!
I was using my phone and all had been working fine for ages. It was in my pocket for a while and when i took it out to use it I saw that it was on the boot animation of CM11. My phone was already on when I last used it so I had assumed it had crashed. I took the battery out and turned the phone on again but it got stuck on the CM boot animation. The last time I turned on my phone before that was when I flashed a supersu zip file to make my root work as I was having some problems. After flashing the supersu zip and told my CWM recovery to restart the system, it prompted me to "fix root" or something like that, and I clicked yes and it booted normally. That was the last time it booted normally before being stuck as it is now. First thing I did after it got stuck was go into recovery and reflash my current rom ( a CM11 snapshot) I then got faced with a status 7 error and so couldnt flash the rom. So then I flashed multiple other CM11 roms, none of which worked, so I flashed a CM10.2 stable rom which worked. I then got faced with the fix root before reboot thing and so I clicked yes. Still had the stuck booting thingy. I tried many things, flashing kernals roms gapps etc and nothing made a difference. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and no difference. I even wiped the system and tried to flash roms but only the 10.2 one would work, still got a status 7 with the CM11 ones. When I wiped my data however and flashed CM 10.2, it booted. I still couldn't flash the CM11 roms though even after a factory reset. So I have the reason to believe something in the data is wrong, not cache system or anything like that. What could it be? I don't want to have to lose all my data in order to be able to use my phone again, even then, something is still wrong as my phone won't flash CM11 roms anymore. So my questions are;
What things could have caused this?
Can this be a problem from flashing the supersu zip (a root issue)
Is it possible to somehow view or copy the internal data on a computer (since I cant get into the operating system), and this would allow me to get all my pictures contacts music etc anything so I can use my phone by wiping data?
Thanks, sorry this is quite long and probably hard to understand whats going on, but help is appriciated thanks
Don't fix root if you wish to use SuperSU instead builded-in cm superuser. Also try to flash via Odin latest recovery. TWRP should be fine. You can mount partitions from recovery level to download data to your computer. Of course if it still exists. If not, if they are corrupted you need to flash stock ROM and repeat whole cm11 adventure again. If Odin successfully flash the stock then it's a chance your partition layout and user data are untouched.

A friend of mine soft-bricked his old galaxy s2.
The phone is running a custom android 5.1 or 6.0 (I don't remember) that i flashed for him a few months ago.
He said he just disabled the google app (not sure why he did that) and the phone crashed and is now stuck in a bootloop.
Anyway I'm trying to enable the app back and hopefully fix the phone without having to wipe everything and flash back the system.
Does anyone know how/if it's possible from an adb shell in recovery mode ?
I tried the pm command but it just crash in recovery, probably because android is not running.
Maybe i could make it work with a chroot or something. No idea how to do that on android though.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
In this situation, it would be best to wipe your phone. Avoiding wipes is not what you want to do as this could cause more problems instead.
You could try wiping system partition and cache partition. Reflash the ROM and gapps and see if that helps. You should still keep all of your apps this way and no personal data is affected.
Otherwise full wipe is the only option left.

Thanks for your help, i tried to wipe only system partition and cache but unfortunately the phone was still stuck in a bootloop. Tried then to manually remove all google apps and their data before reinstalling them but it didn't work either. I gave up and formated the data partition which fixed it as expected.
Hey all,
I've got a N7105 (Galaxy Note II LTE) running CM12.1 and TWRP which I was planning to change shortly as it's old and the USB port has issues (charges but doesn't pass data; luckily it has a microsd slot). As it happens, the other day I left it discharge fully and turning it back on left it stuck at Samsung logo (not boot animation, the splash screen before it) forever.
I am: not a noob, I've rooted and flashed plenty of devices before.
I tried: removing battery for a while, charging fully, removing microsd and sim, clearing Cache and Dalvik. Nothing works.
I can: get into ODIN mode (but it's useless as USB data is not working); get into TWRP recovery; explore the Data partition in TWRP
I cannot: mount the System partition in TWRP, not even manually. It just does not let me select it, and gives an error whenever it needs to access it (e.g. if I try to backup it is says Error: unable to mount System)
I want: if possible to solve the issue without formatting Data. I had a TB backup but kinda old, so I got a Nandroid of Data and Boot out from TWRP and I suppose I could then recover stuff extracting from Nandroid through TB, but I've never done it and would rather be able to get a fresh TB backup and move on from there.
A few questions I have: any idea on why I am not able to mount System in TWRP? Could it help to reflash Boot or System, and if so how do I go to do that considering what I have is the whole CM rom package? (I remember being able to fastboot flash single partitions on Nexus devices but that's because the stock rom comes packaged in separate images).
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The note 2 has this issue that makes it unable to be recognized by PC, so this isn't your phone problem, the only way to solve it is replacing the usb socket in your phone, anyway i can recommend dirty flashing your rom first, just flash the rom in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.
If that didn't work, I'm afraid you might have to...... clear data ?

Thanks for the input, I was thinking something along those lines but I wasn't totally sure, I always avoided dirty flashing as I heard of people having issues. Happily, it worked! Weirdest think I saw in a while, it gave me a bunch of errors with System partition (unable to mount, unmount, find), then it gave a "proceeding to patch system partition unconditionally", then it completed. The whole thing took less than 20secs so I do not think it even actually flashed the ROM. Now I am just getting some Play Services error, likely need to reinstall gapps, but phone boots just fine!
