Hello everyone!
Apologies for adding another thread, i tried to find a similar thread to solve this problem but I could not.
Basically my stock samsung s4 (unrooted, unmodified) started to boot loop a couple of days ago when I changed the sim card. Ive already tried clearing the cache but it did not work, so I think the only option I have now is to do a full wipe and reset.
Is there any way to remove my photo data from the device storage before doing this reset? Bearing in mind the phone wont boot and it is unrooted, is there perhaps any way to fix the boot?
Thank you very much! I will greatly greatly appriciate any solution to this problem.

Hi guys.
I recently purchased Samsung galaxy sII and got it rooted. I'am not sure that if this is the source of the problem but ill describe what i did in hopes that someone will know how to help me...
I installed Litening rom on the first try and used it until decided to try other roms so i got here and grabbed the first one from the list in the Android Development section. Am not sure about the name of the rom but both of them worked as awesome as roms could get.
One day i downloaded Optimize tool box and when I was deleting cache i noticed that market had over 10 mb's of cache [am noob with smartphones] but when compared to the cache that other apps had it was quite a lot.. when i cleared it and clicked home button phone froze... Nothing worked so i decided to pull battery out. After that the phone was stuck at loading animation. After that I cleared all internal cache of the phone, reinstalled rom and it worked. But now am having a weird problem. From time to time phone either shuts down by itself or when remains screen locked for a period of time it remains black [home button does not return me to the lock screen, instead it remains black] and i have to reboot it to get it to work again.
Tnx in advance
Factory reset, reinstall?

Rooting is not the problem it worked .
Recovery mode and factory reset first option.
Follow that by a wipe and install stock rom and start over if Factory reset not cure problem .

Hi guys,
Apologies if there's a thread about this already.
I just upgraded my firmware through the settings menu on my Galaxy S2 - everything seemed to go OK, phone rebooted, now it's stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY SII GT-I9100 logo on a black screen indefinitely.
Tried so far:
Removing battery for a period of time, then rebooting
Booting into recovery mode and emptying the cache (have not tried factory reset yet)
Allowed to boot for 30 minutes to see if anything would happen, nothing
Can you guys offer any advice before I consider more extreme measures? I've kind of accepted I'm going to have to format the stupid thing now. Should I do a factory reset before trying to flash the firmware using Odin? I'm about to try this:

To try to fix what I assume is a soft brick issue. Does this seem like a good idea?
Sorry if I sound like a complete n00b. I don't normally get this involved with my phone, but it's kind of forced my hand this time around
Many thanks x
no worring yet
do factory data reset
if that fails flash a stock rom using odin. search intratech thread in orignal development
Hi,
some of them have seen my interest on this tab,
unfortunately, it seems it has gone a bit too far.
today,i made a reset through the parameters, and it stuck (had a custom recovery and root)
trying to hard reset did not help
now, i've got an 0x19000008 error when trying to erase userdata with hard-reset procedure
and i'm struck on iconia tab logo
trying to recover my backup using nikagl recovery without data partition did not help as it remains block
i still have access to fastboot
what is your advice on that ??
which trick might help or is it good for service ?
FYI, i double post in dedicated forum which is a bit empty.
sorry about that, but help is NEEDED
Okay I am a noob, but still If I don't fix this I will be in trouble, Here's the situation, My Insight is rooted, I were trying to sell the phone to a friend she went ahead and to a reset to factory setting in setting, after that the phone just keep looping between the android screen and the booting screen endlessly, how do I fix that?

Flash your backup rom, if you don't have it. you can download it from any website..Try google, for example "Ninetology Insight i9430 CWM stock rom " you might find your solution there.

Have u tried wiping cache and then dalvik from recovery?
You can try wipe data/cache from recovery. If you still have this problem try re-flash from odin the original 4.3 firmware.
