Hello everyone.
Im trying to factory reset my MDK Verizon S4 coming from Hyperdrive 16. Every time i try to factory reset my phone reboots back into the rom. I'm able to wipe cache from the recovery. But it just reboots every time i try to wipe data and factory reset. Anyone have experience with this?

Have you tried updating to Philz latest? I have no problems at all with that one.

You're saying your phone reboots even when you're trying this from within Phil right? Not just the option from within the ROM....
If it doesn't get any better you may just want to use the No Wipe Odin file. Something could have gotten corrupt or something along the way.
Another thing to try maybe is flash the latest TWRP using Flashify and see if that let's you do it..

ok just hitting factory reset inside of Philz will of course just reset your operating system that is on there, which will be Hyper 16. If doing a factory reset to install a new ROM within Philz it will wipe everything out of there including the backup TW (HD16) makes of itself. my understanding is TW makes a copy of itself on install so when it does factory reset it reverts back to that.

Exactly that, I hit Wipe/Factory Reset. It starts attempts to start the process, freezes then reboots back into the ROM. Ill probably just do the no wipe Odin file. Thanks

Hi guys,
Can someone help me with a factory data reset? Im having horrific battery problems since updating OTA from ICS to JB. I've tried all the usual suggestions and am getting nowhere so i understand a lot of folks do a factory data reset and it helps some..
So the current status of my device is stock ROM and rooted with CF. I have titanium installed. If i understand this correctly i need to is it backup all apps individually from within Titanium?
Is it then just a case of clicking factory data reset from within the S3 menu? I guess I'm on a custom recovery and not stock recovery because im rooted with CF? Does this make any difference to the factory data reset procedure?
Many thanks

Yes, just click it and you will have brand new jelly bean, but still rooted. Install titanium and restore all necessary applications. I did factory reset two day ago.
there are 2 ways to factory reset..
1. from the settings menu (i am sure you are aware of this)
2. from recovery; stock recovery or cwm recovery
if you are wondering what a cwm recovery is, it is a custom recovery for rooted phones.. so you can go over at the Original Development section and find the thread for this recovery.. you will have to use odin to flash

Great. Were you rooted before you did the reset? So having a custom recovery (if i have one as i'm rooted) wont effect this? All the titanium backups of the apps i take [presumably are fine as there stored on the SD card which doesn't get touched during factory data reset. Is this right?
Thanks guys

you can still do a factory reset within the menu OR do a factory reset through Recovery (either Stock or Custom)
but since you are rooted, it is rather suggested to flash a custom recovery such as CWM Recovery

Great thanks for that. As I'm not really used to flashing things hence my noob questions. I rebooted into CWM and i can see the wipe date /factory reset option. Are there any other options i should run here i.e. wipe cache partition?
Final question after i do the wipe data/ factory reset im left with a clean build of JB with no apps or anything installed - i just pull these back from titanium 1 by 1 i guess?

For anyone who is interested the factory reset sorted my battery. I am now back to loosing approx 1% per hour overnight on 3g only (weakish signal), wifi off, location services on, google now off, fb, gmail push on. As good as it was before the JB update. I reckon a lot of folks will need to go down this route as its widespread about the JB battery issue. Luckily i was rooted so with titanium restore i got everything the way i wanted in only an hour or 2 - without it you could be tweaking apps for hours i.e. handsent sms!!
Hello, I am new to android customization/flashing roms, and last time I tried flashing a rom on my Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70, it worked, but when I tried going back, I realized I didn't have a backup of my old rom, so I went online and flashed a stock rom for my player, which ended up hard bricking the device.
I want to know everything I should do before flashing a rom so that I don't risk screwing up my player again. How do i back it up? How do I restore that backup? and most importantly, what other roms support this player (US Version of Galaxy Player, or YP-G70) specifically?
Also, is there anything else I should do before flashing a rom to ensure I don't brick my device and to also ensure I can get back to my old rom if needed?
If anyone can help, thanks.
Back up is done in cwm under the back up and restore section. Usually the op of the corresponding ROM has any specific information about the needs, typically it is backup
Wipe user information factory reset
Wipe dalvik cache
Install new ROM
Advanced section to restart recovery(optional)
Advanced restore in backup and restore section select restore data
I may have missed something so someone else will correct if I did

First, you have to find a ROM for the U.S (???) version of the 5.0
Since you hard bricked it, i guess you need to 1st flash the stock rom, after doing that, install CWM via Odin, backup stock rom, flash ICS (not much different from JB)

Well, when I hard bricked it, I took it back. It wouldn't even boot into recovery, it just showed a little weird symbol for a while (phone with an exclamation symbol, and a computer), but then the battery eventually died, and it wouldn't even turn back on.
So i was going to flash a rom I made a back up, I hit fixed permissions. and now all I have is Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and is just stuck there. I can get into twrp and have tried wiping and starting from a clean slate and restoring the back up but still get the galaxy logo? any suggestions ?
**have just tried to use odin and fails also*** How do I get back to stock please? Anyone please help

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.
The other day, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on, after trying to reboot my phone, I found it unable to boot (just stuck at the last boot animation). I went ahead and decided to wipe and tried to flash a custom ROM (started with Beans, also tried Hyperdrive), but for both ROMs, I wind up in a bootloop after installation. Generally it will get to the very first screen, language selection, then simply reboot after a few seconds. This just happens continually. Only got things working again by using Odin to get back to the stock MDK release.
Trying to flash coming from build number JDQ39.1545VRUAMDK. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
Tried again with flashing a factory stock, rooted rom from recovery after full wipe/reset. It wouldn't boot. When I recover a backup I've previously made, it will boot up once just fine, then when I reboot, it just sits at the "Samsung" "Custom" screen with a lock on it.
Would really appreciate some help. Thanks
Same here, I tried to flash Illusion, and now my phone is stuck at the Samsung Custom lock screen...
make sure you are wiping everything (i do dalvik, data, system, cache, and factory reset) 3x for a complete clean install, then flash.

You might want to try cwm there has been a few posts with people and a similar situation. Twrp wipes differently then cwm and thats what causes it.

TWRP 2.5 works perfectly for me...
Solved! Went through another reinstall of hyperdrive, this time I only checked one or two options. Now I'm running smoothly with no issues.
Hello. I upgraded my galaxy s5 to the android 6.0.1 and now it is stuck in the T-Mobile logo. I can feel a small vibration after about 40 seconds as if it were to finish the process of initiation. Yet, it never does. I have wiped the data, dalvik cache, and everything. I have reinstalled the upgrade via odin, also via kies, also via the same phone. But nothing works. In odin i first tried without the option of update phone bootloader, then i tried with it , and nothing works. I went back to 5.1 , and tried going back to 6.0 and nothing. It keeps in the tmobile screen. How long do i have to wait for it to finish the process? I spent 30 minutes waiting, and 30 minutes is NOT USUAL AT ALL!. the most i have had to wait for a device to finally initiate for the first time is about 15 minutes. Any help?

Yeah i have read someone who cleaned the cache partition about 3 times , booting after each time he cleaned the cache, and it worked for him. Although it wasnt an s5. But right now i just installed the 5.1 via odin again, and now im installing the 6.0 again. Then i will try the cleaning the cache several time and see how it goes. Even though i need my device to wake up at 6 tomorrow lol . Lets hope i can fix this.
6.0.1 right? You don't need to go back to 5. Just reinstall 6

I have a question. After the green screen appears and finishes the process, does your device reboot after it says starting apps? Mine did it all the time. It just did it now, but im going to try to wipe cache now. But first, let me wait a couple of minutes (5 minutes) to see if by some miracle it works.
I don't think it should reboot. Cache wipe should do it

Samsung Kies3 can help you restore your original Samsung ROM (remove custom OS ROM), and it did fix bootloop for my Galaxy s5 recently.
Open Kies 3 and click Tools > "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"
In order to proceed, you will need enter your device model name and S/N number.

I tried kies after i tried odin and it didnt fixed my issue. I tried it 2 times. Then i tried to use the Software updater of the own device in 5.1 firmware, it didnt work either. I think i give up . i spent the whole day trying every single method that came to my head or that i could found. But none of them worked. I dont feel like spending 30 minutes flashing the whole thing again going back and forth, wiping, etc...
Hard reset is gonna be your best bet if you haven't done it already
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Only hard reset might not be sufficient,
I tried once, and the hard reset plus 10 times of wiping dalvik and normal cache was able to fix bootloop.
But stuck in bootloop, my phone was not able to enter stock/TWRP recovery to perform the necessary master reset and cache clean.
Therefore when bootloop problem came back again later, my only solution was to try Kies 3, and Kies 3 was able to control my phone and fix bootloop while my phone was stuck in bootloop.

I tried all that several times and nothing. Do you know all the stuff that one can dk from 9 am to 11 pm? I even downloaded 5 6.0 firmwares from different sources each, including sammobile.com. and tried kies, odin (3 versions) , OTA, wiping only cache, wiping dalvik cache, wiping data and factory reset, wiping everything, wiping nothing,
Just to let people know. If you are in the same situation than me i have solved the issue. There were some files in my Micro Sd card that were affecting the installation process. Now i removed the sd card and the process finished successfully. Thank you for suggestions anyway.
Yea it should have been formatted along with the factory reset from the get go.
