Hey guys! I had CM10.2 running on my N4 for like 2 months, but one day it rebooted itself and got stuck on bootloop. I thought it was a good idea to go stock. The problem is, no matter what factory image I flash[tried with various toolkits and the "cmd way"], I still get the bootloop screen. Today I've wiped everything using TWRP and now it says it has no OS. So I was wondering if you guys could walk me through all the steps for a fresh start.
Ps: I'm pretty new to this

look in the nexus 4 forums. If you still had TWRP installed you didnt do a proper stock flash as it would have flash your recovery as well.

So my Optimus V was running slow so I decided to reset it to factory defaults but I didn't know if your phone is rooted then you shouldn't do it from within android so I did. Then I couldn't get it to do anything but boot up into ClockworkMod Recovery. I tried loading up old backups but every time it just boots back up into Clockwork. So then I went here:
prepaidandroid. org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
and I followed the "flashing stock ROM" section but when I rebooted it still went into clockwork. Really I just want my phone to work again. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks man. That seems to be the right thread.
Can't really figure out how to use ADB though, hah. Every tut on it seems to tell you to do completely different things and I don't know enough about it to figure out how to use it in this case.
This is the situation and what ive tried to fix it. I was on cm9 and wanted to try jellybam so I flashed using cwm . It was successful but wouldn't boot so I tried to reinstall the rom still no luck so I tried going back to cm9 and it got stuck on the s2 logo screen ! I tried odin to flash a stock rom and it was successful but still stuck on the logo screen. Ive tried gb and ics ive tried to flash with and without bootloaders ive tried reparation but that only fails unless I use the pit file but still didn't fix it. If I flash the stock rooted ics rom and then flash cwm zip i can wipe system then flash cm9/10 but that only gets me to the cm animation . It will sit there till the end of time but wont boot! In cwm If I check the log I get this error I:can't partition unsafe device:/dev/block/mmcb1k1p1. It wont factory reset on stock or cwm it only freezes then bootloops. I hope this is enough info please help me! I love my s2 and even tho I have my s3 I miss my s2

. yes I tried to factory reset but it just freezes then after 5 min. It try's to boot but gets stuck on the galaxy s2 logo screen. I checked the log in cwm and got the error I posted above. I've been flashing for years and never run into an issue I couldn't fix but this one has me stumped

Sorry if this sounds rude but have you googled that error?
Sent from my GS4 running CM11 Kandy Kane
Lol no that's not rude. I would ask the same question. ..I did and from what I've gathered its a corrupt sd card or part of the emmc brick bug. There are patched kernels to fix the same issue on the note but nothing for i777. All it says is factory reset and flash a new rom . Ive done that but still no boot. Roms flash fine and I can get into download mode and recovery but It wont factory reset or boot. Stock recovery says your ui is not prepared please factory reset and a bunch of can't mount data errors but it won't factory reset it just freezes then trys to reboot but gets stuck on the s2 logo then back to recovery. Here is the kicker tho. If I install a duel booting kernel I can install a second rom that boots but primary won't. ...I tried swapping primary and secondary roms but it froze....im just lost on this one and out of tricks

I'm not sure what partition that is. You've go a typo in it, but if the last three letters are correct "1p1", I don't remember seeing that as one of the system partitions. The kernel is in "mmcblk0p5" for instance. It should be "mmcblk1p1" I guess.
If you suspect memory damage to that partition, you can confirm that by trying to pull the data from that memory block with adb or terminal using the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/sdcard/testBLK
If the memory is damaged, you will get an error message. If the memory block is good, you will get no error message. I guess you could also look into "testBLK" to see what is in there, but of course it will be binary data most likely.
That's the error I got 1p1. Abd is something I haven't done yet. I've used terminal emulator back in the days of my cliq dext but im sure I can handle it...im pretty sure it is corrupt but if I do the test and confirm this how do I fix it? Is it just a matter of deleting or do I have to rewrite the path? Im confused on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Actually, this was bad advice. Since your phone is bootlooping, you can't use terminal, doh! If you can get into recovery, you might be able to use adb. Or you could use Red_81's adb portable. You could also try his adb batch file from download mode to see if you can boot it into recovery mode. I guess it will take a little study if you have no experience with it.
Oh, and if the memory is bad, its bad. This is just a way to find out, maybe.
So what your saying is it's dead?!!!
Noooooooo! Lol im looking into maybe getting another one or shipping this one to Samsung to have a new motherboard put in . Just trying to see if there is any hope of bringing her back to life...

Not saying that unless you verify for sure that the memory is bad. The only time I've actually heard of eMMC damage, and seen it verified, was in conjunction with the bad stock kernel on 4.0.4. There was also another case where a member sent his phone to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos for Jtag repair, and it was sent back unrepairable due to memory damage. I can't remember for sure, but I think that was due to the 4.0.4 stock kernel too.
You might talk to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos by phone to see what he thinks, before you send it to Samsung.
I tried contacting josh and couldn't reach anyone. I left a message and sent and email but haven't heard back. I tried using adb portable and as I did that I think that I didn't make the phone issues clear. I can get into recovery mode fine I can also get into download mode fine . I can flash roms fine but it won't go past the s2 logo screen . If I flash cyanogen it will go to the cyanogen boot screen but again won't boot. I am still trying to find a solution in my free time but nothing yet

I have run into something similar, my wife has the s2... I have the s3....
this is the steps I run to get the s2 working after it gets stuck...
1 - installed stock rom I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL = self executable from windows.... brings you to stock with root..
forget this one, this is when I was first rooting... 2 - DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
3 - MobileODINLite-v3.57
4 - MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I777-v1.0
5 - flash kernal Siyah-v2.6.14-att.tar = installs recovery clockwork mod
6 - install any rom....
Download mode on S2 is volume up and down and power button....
I can't get it to boot up so I can't use mobile odin. I've tried one click and also tried every stock tar I could find . I even tried to reinstall the bootloaders. They all install successful but it wont boot past the s2 logo screen. Im not a noob , I've flashed hundreds of times. I've fixed a few bricks in my day but this has me stumped. ...if you install the stock rom there isn't any reason why it shouldn't boot. But it is just stuck. Nothing has worked. I think the only thing that may work is the re write the memory but im not that patient to do that lol

Just curious if you unmounted and remounted the partitions?
or maybe formatted them individually?

I bought a galaxy 3. I literally tried everything with this phone. Was able to root, went to install siyah kernel from zip and now I get the samsung logo. I can boot into CWM recovery, but none of the functions work--just hangs on the hat. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please don't re-post; your question has been answered in the thread you created. Please search for answers first; the solution to your problem is safely housed in a sticky in the General section.
Thanks but...
I can't flash anything so this would be a new thread. The poster above said he/she could flash toms. I CANNOT. Also, I've been looking on here for solutions for over a month. This is my first post.
I converted my LGOG today, and everything went smoothly. I have CMW touch as my recovery (but i've tried TWRP too) and when I try to flash a rom (Pacman in this case) it aborts the install and tells me "error 7, something about assest failed getprop." The only thing I haven't done is do the fix for 8gb -> 16gb.
Any ideas?
Edit: I finally got 10.1 to install, looks like my Pacman download might have been corrupt. However, its stuck on the spinning cyanogenmod screen for the past 20 minutes.

Did you use a N4 recovery? Because you need one to flash n4 specific roms like Pacman. Also there was a step late in the conversion that involved wiping that you might want to look into again.

I used the Optimus recovery at first, but later used the N4 recoveries. The N4 recoveries ran fine. I was able to install the ROMS, however each one hung at the boot screen (CyanogenMod screen and the pacman boot screen.)
After failing with that I went back to stock. Now my phone is hung on the "at&t rethink possible" screen. LGNPST got to 85% but I heard that was normal and to exit out and continue.
Now what?

Yes, I used the N4 recovery.
Hey, man I just had this exact same problem under different circumstances so maybe I can help. When LGNPST finishes and reaches 85% wait for the pop up that says the device disconnected. Once it does that turn the device off. Now hold volume down and power and it should ask if you want to reset your device. Press power to reset it and it should boot up (it might feel like its taking a while after all this time your spending waiting and getting nothing, I know that feeling!). There you go! All fixed up! Someone helped me with that last night in a thread and I was sure I'd tried that but I was wrong and it worked! If it doesn't then it's possible you need to charge your phone and then do it. Let me know if that does or doesn't work, bud. Good luck!

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?

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

A couple of months back I was using Carbon 4.4 on my phone. I realized that I grabbed the wrong model number and install an galaxy s3.
Everything was working fine for a while before I knew that I messed up. Then one day app started messing up and that when I saw that it was wrong. I tried flashing the Note 2 version of the ROM and got stuck in a boot loop. Which resulted in a battery pull and booting back into recovery. Only SlimKat has worked for me now. Carbon, Liquid Smooth, Pac Man don't work. They all get stuck in booting image and spin forever.
Is there anything I can do to get these roms working again?

Would flashing it to stock via odin fix any errors I might have created?
Yeah, typically if you Odin back to stock, and reroot. Choose the correct package though, don't want 4.3 Odin, or you end up locked tight.
