Stuck with stock after custom recovery was lost due to 4.4.2 ota.
Phone has bad lag from time to time even after factory reset. My question is can I use Odin (or how) to go a step beyond factory rest to try and fix things?

Updgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 via Kies. Un-rooted, stock SGH-I777. Stuck in bootloop now at AT&T logo. I already did the wipe data cache in recovery mode with no luck so it leaves me to factory reset as my next option. I've spent several hours browsing through the forum already. Do any of the below allow me to keep data?
1) Use Odin and stock firmware - downloaded the UCMD8 tar file
2) Root, install kernel w/ CWM to use backup functionality. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894)
Just need a point in the direction I need to go, I'll handle the rest.
If the result is all the same (i.e. data loss), I'll use this issue as an opportunity to put a custom ROM on my phone.
Thanks!
Yes, most likely a wipe data/factory reset performed in recovery would correct the problem, but you will lose some system data. Which specific things are you worried about losing? You won't lose your photos, or any data from applications installed from the play store.
You are going to have to perform a wipe data/factory reset to use odin and the stock UCMD8 firmware. In fact, at this point it is probably the only way out.
U could try to re Odin the firmware first. Not sure where ya got it from, but it should be a no wipe. But if that doesn't solve ur problem, then ya have a few options--- Odin a custom kernel (like AJK), and then u could Mount usb storage through recovery and backup ur stuff to ur pc. Then try to see if it will boot up without looping. If it still loops then u need to go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. And it should be good. Or if ya don't care about ur data, then just reboot to recovery and wipe data and reboot.

mostly just concerned with losing SMS but i have a backup from a few weeks ago so im not out much.
thanks for the answers! I guess i'll just have to make the plunge on one of the options.
I have a Rooted Pantech Discover P9090 with ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8 recovery from Here. After which I proceeded to test out the phones "secure" (encryption) features. Now that the phone is encrypted, however, I cannot remove the encryption because I can not perform a factory reset. When attempting a factory reset from within the UI the phones attempts to reset as normal but at the point where the phone turns off and comes back with the android screen and a loading bar at the bottom the phone restarts. Doing a factory reset from the recovery fails do to not being able to load /data, /system /sdcard. Is there anything else I can try/do?
Other info:
Android Version 4.0.4
Still nothing.
Update 1: Flashed over to JB in hopes that it would help. Nothing. Still looking for solutions.
Does anyone have any of the stock files. Hopefully the recovery.img for this phone?
This was my first time i bought a Huawei phone and I accidental deleted built.prop. I think so.... Its with locked bootloader and i really dont know what to do as its a new phone. There is no recover out there. Please help me out. :crying:
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, perform a factory reset
Edit scratch that, you don't even need a custom recovery, just perform a factory reset in the stock recovery

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Curious as to why you think that would work? build.prop is in /system. A factory reset won't bring that back.
Without the original firmware and a locked bootloader, there isn't much you can do...
Pretty much a noob, and really don't know enough to be dangerous yet. I have a question about root and the stock factory reset, not TWRP.
What happens if you use the stock factory reset if you are rooted?
If you choose to wipe your internal memory using TWRP, what all does it delete? Everything? System folders?
In TWRP it wipes everything. I made the mistake of wiping internal memory before on my G2 and pooped bricks, because i couldn't get back into my rom and i could not flash anything because it was all gone. I had to reflash the stock ROM with LGflashtool. I would not touch internal memory if I were you. If you are stock recovery and rooted and factory reset you stay rooted but it takes you back to as you opening it up out the box but usually root sticks and you go thru setup as usual.
Factory Reset in download mode vs. TWRP Factory Reset (Wipe)
What are the differences between them? I feel like I experienced different results between the 2. for example, I had no data and phone signals for the last few days and tried TWRP Wipe many times with no avail. Then when i did the factory reset from the download screen it seemed to fix the issue. This could all be a coincidence and probably is.
I thought that since I have a custom recovery the factory reset in the download screen does not do anything different than the TWRP one. I'm sure I'm wrong. Enlighten me please.
