Dont mean to start a new thread but no one is answering me.
My phone just boots to the "Saumsung Galaxy Note II" screen and is stuck there.
If I do volume up and home, it goes into the recovery screen but I m afraid using odin would erase everything.
I want to save my data, what should I do?
i cant do anything within recovery.
now i have a bunch of of failures..
i can reboot, apply update from adb, or external storage, wipe data, wipe cache.
i did what you told me, to wipe cache, the bootloop persists.
which rom do i use? i dont remember what i used.
Please specify what I need to download in order to save my data, thanks!

can some one please help me, i root my htc eris and i install a rom but now the phone wont turn on, is stuck in the android screen.
i allready did a master reset, by holding VOL DOWN + SEND + END
I also can get in to recovery mode and i did a wipe date/factory reset, but is not working.
and when i try to do a RESTORE is telling me that there is no sd-ext.img
and no android_secure.img
can some one PLEASE help me. THANKSSSSsss........
In your recovery are you able to flash images? If so I suggest you download a ROM and try to flash it. That usually solves my problems.
Yea try reflashing a ROM, deleting everything off your sdcard, wiping factory data, davlik cache, and sd ext partition.
Wipe anything you can pretty much ha.
You should only really have to flash the ROM. I can't imagine how replacing the ROM wouldn't totally fix everything. Do a wipe first.
Also understand that it can easily take 5 to 10 minutes to boot for the first time after flashing a new rom let it sit for 20 then worry.
As long as you can hit recovery you haven't ****ed it up too bad though, that's a positive.
Nice i just run the RUU and now my phone wont turn on at all
I have just flashed my Galaxy 5 with Cyanogenmod latest and it is now stuck on a reapeating splash screen of a little blue droid guy, its not doing nothing i cant access my phone as it wont advance from this splash screen, i have removed my battery but nothing has worked.
Any quick tips/fix please?
have you wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache?
I havent a clue what you mean so i'm guessing not aha:/
whats your custom recovery?
for amonra, there should be an option called wipe and it has everything i just said.
for clockworkmod, theres wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and under advanced, theres wipe dalvik cache
I am not 100% positive but i used Clockworkmod v4 in order to get Cyanogenmod 7 onto my device if that answers your question? (im new to all this stuff).
All ive did is;
Installed clockworkmod v4
rebooted my device.
installed cyanogenmod as a zip from my sd card
rebooted my device.
Turned it back on and just this splash screen repeating
Im sorry i suck at this aha
with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power.
when it boots into clockworkmod, on the first menu, there should be an option to wipe data/factory reset and another one to wipe cache. do both.
then after you are done with that, go into the advanced menu and select wipe dalvik cache. now reboot
When i hold that combination down it brings up Download mode for some reason :S
oh yeah. my bad i was thinking about my phone.
try reinstalling the recovery (using odin) and see if it boots back into recovery (do this at your own risk; since i dont have a phone that uses odin, im not sure if this will work or not)
Could this damage/brick my phone?
Thank you so so so so much sir! Id take my hat off for you, if i wore one!
I love you.
im guessing it worked, right?
no problem
Yes ahah, longest 3 minutes in my life though! Thanks alot.
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Assuming my Galaxy Note II phone has been unlocked successfully, if I do a factory reset to upgrade to note2_JellyBeans_B8.zip:
YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED
Step 1-
Wipe Data Factory Reset!
Step 2-
Wipe davlick cache
Step 3-
install zip and pick your options
Step 4-
Reboot and enjoy!
wouldn't this restore the phone back to stock?? Or is it just the bootloader partition that is left alone when you do a factory reset? Also, the instructions were not too clear when it mentions: "install zip and pick your options". Do I unzip the file and pick something in the install folder? A tad confused here...

You want to wipe system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Factory reset will wipe data like Google account and apps and such.
Then the ROM installs with aroma which loads up a GUI that let's you choose what you want. Can choose apps installed clock location how many widgets you show at the top what kernel you run etc. Literally flash the zip and you'll understand.

Thanks. I am not sure how to "wipe system", but I read how to factory reset and clear dalvik cache. Also not sure how to load the jellybeans ROM(do I mount it.. is it an .iso? etc.)... lots of reading to do. Ty for the input m8.

If youre using TWRP click wipe, then factory reset, swipe to do so, then cache same way, then dalvik.
To flash rom click the install tab, find the rom, make sure you tell it to look at the internal or external at the top and find the rom, then swipe to flash it
sidenote: factory reset clears data, which is what most people do. system wipe actually clears out the partition where the rom is, in other words the phone will not reboot until youve flashed a rom to it

Put the ROM on your phone and go to the install section of your recovery (You must boot into recovery by holding power, home, and volume up while turning on your phone) and flash it from there.

My phone is now unlocked + jailbroken after following instructions from CASUAL. No issues.
When u say put the rom in your phone. U mean my SD card? Per littleguevara's post:
"To flash rom click the install tab, find the rom, make sure you tell it to look at the internal or external at the top and find the rom, then swipe to flash it
sidenote: factory reset clears data, which is what most people do. system wipe actually clears out the partition where the rom is, in other words the phone will not reboot until youve flashed a rom to it" <----- if the phone is wiped then everything is gone so I can't put the jellybeans rom there.
Also from "Originally Posted by nosympathy

Will I be able to wipe cache and dalvik cache WHILE in recovery mode? I just want to be as proactive as possible and avoid being reactive to anything that comes my way that I am not aware of. I believe I already have TWRP (i saw their logo while jailbreaking).. Any input is appreciated m8.
Hi, my phone just keep stuck at the main screen which show SAMSUNG GT-I9300. And when i go to recovery mode and try to wipe all the data, cache and everything.
It say that E./ unable to mount data.
I cant wipe it, even using the advance wipe option.
Is there a way to use it.
I'm currently using the latest TWRP 2.8.6.1
