Hello,
I have an issue with a dilemma at hand. Have ace 5830i. While formatting, something went wrong and on reboot I faced a bootloop error on the samsung animation. Thing is, I dont have a computer at hand as, funny enough, im in prison ( ). So I went ahead nd booted into recovery mode. Tried wiping cache partion nd factory reset each alone nd together after removing the battery for sometime. Nothing worked. Then I downloaded the root update. Zip and went ahead and rooted it (all went fine I suppose). Downloaded the cwm nd it worked, as in to enter the cwm recovery mode. Tried to repeat the wipe cache partition, wipe data and clear dalvik. Couldnt wipe the delvik cache (error: couldn't mount data). Searched for some firmware that I can install from sd card without odin and found jellyblast… tried and now I am stuck at the initial samsung logo not even getting to the animation part. How can I flash a new firmware without a pc!

Hope you get it sorted mate nothing worse than being banged up without a phone ive been there lol. Its going to be hard without a pc. Good luck mate
more elaboration
Dear,
Let me explain more maybe I can get an answer on this nightmare. Have tried downloading a handful of other moded firmwares on an external memory using other phones available. Then mounted the external sd on the bricked phone nd tried tobflash through cwm by installing the correspondent .zip file of any of those firmwares. Some did state that it has beeb installed successfully yet the phone is still stuck at the initial samsung logo nd not advancing to the animation part. Niw I do have a PS4. Having said that, would I be able to flash the firmware using the PS4 console?! Forgive me if I'm sounding too ignorant on this matter, but those are the only iptions at hand. Another question; would I be able to flash a firmware from one handset to another. I have the following mibiles at hand: note3, s5, s4, s3 and s2plus.

Man, after going through this issue for sometime now, I have yet to find any answer that makes my trouble go away. Thing is, there are around 5 other phones with the same issue. All need a new firmware without a pc. Phones are very expensive here as we do pay bribes to get em in. Basically my ace 5830i costs around 2000$, which is basically double the price of an iphone 6 out there in the market!

Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.
Sent from my Sexynos SGH-i777 using XDA Premium.
I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.
Hi,
First time it happened. tried everything but still cant fix it.
after a month or two on MIUI, I wanted to move to AOKP JB.
As I always do when switching ROMs, I backed up everything (efs, pictures, apps with titanium, etc) and format the internal sd card within the os to get rid of all the junk.
Then went into CWM (siyah) and wiped data and cache.
And now for my mistake, I foramt the /system instead of / cache.
So now, when Im trying to install the ROM as a zip file threw CWM I got an error 7.
When trying to do it on ODIN, it stuck on 'factory fs', 'cache', or 'boot'.
After some time, I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message.
Then got rid of it after somehow succeeding installing a different cwm (the stock one) but nothing worked there either, exept installing the Siyah kernel zip from there.
What can I do now to get my phone back alive?
THANKS :crying:

I jumped from S1 to S3, but I'm sure it's applicable. You need to flash via odin stock rom that originally came with your phone. Then root then flash custom rom. Odd tho in past I've done the 5 formats, boot, cache, data, system, sdcard then while still in recovery flash rom. Good luck

The problem is, I really cant remember what was the original ROM version. I bought it end of june 2011.
I cant even remember if it was a UK ROM, or an open europe one, or anything else.

Ok so heres the info burb:-
My phone is UK SGS3 i9300 Vodafone, I rooted it a little while ago, tried a sammy variant custom rom (JB), then changed to paranoid android (cm10). I then tried injecting the sammy firmware files to try and get s memo work - it didnt work anyway, and i lost some data (had backups), so I updated the ROM (without data wipe) but things weren't right, so I was going to do a factory reset, but decided to change to a sammy rom again. aaaaand now it goes really wrong :/
I tried Psycho ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947072) I did a factory reset, and then installed it. the boot logo changed but it just began to bootloop. no adb logcat... o and i had the touch CM recovery with extsd support. I tried again, but also wiped dalvik, cache factory reset, this time i noticed that when i did the factory reset, it rebooted recovery. flashed it again to no avail. so i found UltimaROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572) it had the aroma installer which i liked. I used a laptop to transfer the files onto my extsdcard. factory wipe (rebooted), wiped dalvik n cache, and went thu the installer fine, but still hung on the bootanimation. and to my surprise it was still the one from psycho rom. I wiped again and tried to install again but same problem. EDIT: I just remembered that it came up with a modem choice... I wasnt sure which to pick...
so I did some research tried to find out what was wrong... Following a few suggestions, I downloaded the I9300BUBLG3 (search on sammobile says thats uk vod - 4.04) from sammobile.com and flashed it via odin. I did skip triangle away, because I was just going to put a custom rom back on it. I'm more concerned about data wipe causing a reboot recovery... I also flashed cf-root again over the top to get recovery again. It STILL hangs on the samsung logo! I have even used the recovery after cf root flash, it still reboots when you select factory reset -_- I can get into recovery, and download mode - so that something right? why is it rebooting when i wipe data? did i flash the wrong stock firmware? Whats the next step? what haven't i tried? PLEASE tell me its not fully bricked?
Thanks in advance
/data GONE?!?!
UPDATE: I've just tried wiping again, and viewed the recovery log, it said it couldnt find /data/... it looked on the sdext as well i think same with other wipes... it cannot find source :'( HELP! I've got to go out for now (without my phone :'( ) - so i hope to return to some advice...
When you go to advanced mode you can mount all parts? Try to set permission only to test.
You can format each part at advanced?
ok so the mount / unmount feature appears to work (or so it says), but when i go to fix permissions, and check log - sh:fix_permissions: not found
when I format system n cache n preload it works as far as i can tell via logs, when i did /sdcard/ it said it couldn't remove "." and ".." I guess that just mean it was already blank (which i had done b4 messing all these roms)
it also just occurred to me to try adb shell in recovery! ha and it works! I can see the sdcard0 and sdcard1 can even access /data!
ok heres what I've got in /data/...
/data/app/*.apk - - - - LOTS OF APKS (i guess wipe didnt work)
/data/data/ -- - - the data for my apps
/data/dalvik - - empty
/sbin/fix_permissions - - is there!
there are obv all the other folders like app-private, media, user,system, gps etc etc
SO why cant my recovery perform a data wipe without rebooting(and failing)?? Ooooorrr what do I have to remove via adb to flash a rom?
--------UPDATE-------
right heres how ive SORT OF fixed it.
I used adb shell with su to wipe data (didnt work without su) then formatted system, cache dalvik etc etc all with adb. I rebooted recovery and flashed UltimaROM. It works and it HAS booted - this is how my phone was left today.
I do have several strange problems tho. I know my cable is a little odd - it doesnt always connect right (maybe thats how i caused the problem - mtp style fyi)- but i cannot seem to get it to copy to the the extsd or sd via the cable. I can use solid explorer to transfer files etc, I can use wifi explorer to transfer files... so the sdcard appears to work. My internal sdcard shows a could of ROM zips that are 0 bytes, and I cannot delete them. I cannot "convert to user app" with titianium backup pro (aka TT) to uninstall the stock email app. TT also shows my internal as 12.1gb total?!?!?! I've not restored any of my apps bar a couple which ive done via the market.
Soooo is my internal partitioned wrong? or does it need an error fixed, or partition alignment... and WHHHHYYYY does my recovery STILL reboot when i try to wipe data (i tried just after installing the current ROM)?? what have I done wrong?!?!
internal screwed i think
BUMP! XD please see above for the update...
So much words! •_• anyway, since you are stuck on Sammy logo, then i guess you are on a bootloop? Just go to download mode and flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com

Ive done it already, ive got it to boot... look at my update post above. I mean 12.1gb internal is kinda worrying me.
Cannot make head nor tail of the problem .
Standard reply to a non boot is .
Boot to recovery format cache data sd card and system .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root recovery first .
That should give you a clean wiped phone .

OK well I'm going to make another thread now because it is booting. I have a different problem ATM really even tho its kinda a continuation of this... I'll change topic head to solved if I can...

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!!
Hi all,
Sigh. So it looks like I bricked my Samsung Tab E Verizon. I rooted it with King root and when I removed it, it is now in a endless boot loop. I've tried all sorts of things to try and recover it.
I used SkipSoft to set it up to be flashed but odin fails everytime. I was using the new ROMS found on this Forum. I've tried putting it into download mode and manually flash it and that didn't work. I can't Re-Root it as it won't stay on long enough to Root and they always fail. Right now I'm at a loss.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Do you have custom recovery or default? if you have default you can hold the home button and vol up button then the power button to get into recovery, once your done with that you can wipe cache and reboot, if that STILL does not work then factory reset your phone and re wipe cache, i know losing data sucks but its better then a brick. (this will work 99% of the time because the default recovery automatically re-installs stock rom)
If you have a custom recovery, then i recommend wiping everything including dalvik cache etc, making sure EVERYTHING is squeakly clean (execpt recovery obviously) , and find the driver for your samsung phone and download it on your computer and install, once you are done with that, put your phone into download mode, find your original STOCK rom for your phone, download it and flash it with odin, from there IF successfull you should have a fresh boot of your stock rom, then you can re-root and go on with your day.
Also make sure once you re-gain root access backup your rom so you will always have a plan b if everything goes bad. i cannot recommend this enough, even if you are an expert with flashing, there is always that small percentage things will go wrong and you should always have that backup ready.
Hi!
Thank you very much for the reply. You know, that was one of the things i tried initially when it happened. When I tried it, it wouldn't go into recovery mode. I then went on the odyssey of hell in trying to recover it.
When I read your post I was thinking; "Yeah I tried that", but then I thought I would give it another shot. I went into Factory Reset, it then actually went into the recovery menu. I deleted the cache and set it to data/factory reset and it's still looping. I get an error saying; "E:failed to mount /preload (no such directory)". I then tried to run update from external storage and it's telling me that it's disabled. I tried to update from ADB and it's disabled. I tried to apply from cache and it says; "APPLY_CACHE is depreciated". It's still looping.
Urghhhhhhhhh.......
