Everytime I try to update my phone (stock recovery) I get a fail, even if I unplug the USB.
I think it's because I installed some tweaks when I was rooted. Will a factory wipe/reset make the update work?

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?
The Wifi on my phone wasn't turning on, even after factory reset, so I reflashed stock ROM via Odin (v3.07)
I got stuck in a bootloop, and after factory reset via the stock recovery + wipe of cache partition, it was still stuck.
I then re-flashed the stock ROM. Still stuck.
Tried using Kies 3, with the firmware upgrade and installation tab. Said something about not supporting my phone when I was prompted to plug it in. (SM-G355H; Samsung Galaxy Core II Duos)
I then found an unofficial version of CWM v6 for my phone (there's no official support), and quickly flashed that (via Odin 3.09; which is what I use from this point on), forgetting that my phone was no longer rooted. I wiped davlik cache and data. Still stuck. Then I rooted my phone. Stuck.
Then I reflashed stock ROM (this time, I downloaded from another website) (to test my luck, I tried seeing if simply a factory reset and cache wipe would work. It did not) rooted my phone, and flashed CWM. Wiped davlik cache. Still stuck.
By the way, when I wipe davlik cache it says:
Warning: no file_contexts
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Davlik Cache wiped.
Any ideas on what to do now? I can't send it to a manufacturer / repair store where I live. I'm thinking maybe I should untick Auto Reboot and/or F. Reset Time when flashing, use an earlier version of Odin or the ROM itself, or maybe there is something I can do with ADB? I'm not very familiar with it, but I'm more than willing to learn. I just need some direction...
I was just trying to fix my WiFi... :crying:
Update: Flashed with Auto Reboot unticked. Still in bootloop.
Alright, I fixed it by using Kies, via firmware upgrade and installation. You have to ignore where it says that your device is not supported, and just leave it to download. If you get stuck on the setup screen like I did, try cache wipe + factory reset. If it doesn't work flash an earlier version of the firmware. You might be using the wrong region (It's not always your country), use Kies to check. When it tells you what pda/ modem / csc it wants to update the region will be in parentheses ( eg ACR). Use all of them possible
Was running a semi stable version of CyanideL 5.1 RC 14. Against my better judgement I decided to update to the RC 15. Rebooted into Recovery and did a "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then tried to install the update. Something went wrong during the update and forced me to ODIN flash back to 4.1.1. After doing so, SUCCESSFULLY, I rooted, but forgot that even though I restored it to 4.1.1...I probably re-locked the bootloader...After receiving the message on my phone from VZW that I have unauthorized software. I tried to ODIN flash 4.1.2....the phone reboots but gets stuck on the the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 LOGO. I tried flashing the Stock Root 66, but that wouldn't work. Anyway to fix this?
After you flash the 4.1.2 stock package through odin, wipe data/factory reset and reboot. Sometimes after a clean flash it will keep rebooting or stick, so try to wipe what you can in stock recovery and reboot.
Hi,
I have a Honor 9, which tried to do a software update last night and I don't think there was enough free memory to perform the task. My phone is stuck in eRecovery mode and wants to perform a factory reset, but i don't want it to. Is there a way to get into the phone and delete some files or transfer them to allow it to download the update and install? I don't understand why it could not check available storage before performing the task....
Thanks,
Ewan
I should have mentioned the pone only gives me the following options:
Download latest version and recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Reboot
Shutdown
I'm on Android 10 april update and want to reinstall stock android 10 rom. My phone is not rooted, Bootloader locked and no custom recovery install.
The closest thing to reinstall for you is to perform a factory reset. If you want to reflash whole rom, unlock the bootloader and flash stock rom via fastboot. Not sure why would you want to do that though.

After installing April update (perviously on Android 10 march update) and using it for few hours, my phone got stuck so I rebooted by holding power down button. Error appeared " Can't load Andoid system. Your data might be corrupted". I was forced to factory reset and lost my data. Installed my apps again and reboot for some reason only to be presented by same error again. So I thought reinstalling rom might fix this error.

It would be useful to troubleshoot why the phone doesn't boot (with "adb shell logcat") - on fully stock phone it might be caused by some app or HW defect. Logcat should reveal the reason for crash. What's the status of your phone now?

Factory reset again, installed apps and rebooted it twice. Fortunately, it didn't happen again but I'm still worried. I didn't flash stock rom. Just factory reseted.

Enable ADB in developer settings so you can troubleshoot it if your phone crashes again.
