hey guys,
Currently using the S8+(T-mobile). Randomly decided to check out the app called adHell and I basically got hell. I saw options for permissions and disabling apps. It looked like they were all checked so I said to myself hold on I don't want all these things disabled, so I unchecked them all and left checked only the ones I wanted disabled. This app however I guess works the other way around, and things are considered disabled when they are unchecked.
So I accidentally disabled everything and phone froze, tried to restart and phone will not turn on anymore. I can only get into recovery mode and have cleared cache with no difference. Rebooting to bootloader gets stuck in the download screen. No safe mode either. Seems that I have disabled everything the phone needs to boot up.
Is there a fix for this without selecting the wipe data/factory reset option? Any way to enable things again?

I am having a problem flashing TWRP onto the phone. Is it even possible to do on the T-mobile variant?

Hello again fellas, I'm hoping someone helps me out of a bind I'm currently in. I just flashed JFD, but the phone is stuck in a boot loop. Here are the symptoms:
After Odin3 shows PASS:
1) Phone turns off, but instead of rebooting, shows transparent battery icon with spinning splash, blank screen, transparent battery icon with spinning splash.
2) If I disconnect from the PC, then turn on, the phone shows a WHITE screen, then the VIBRANT screen with Samsung at the bottom, then white screen, and back to the Vibrant screen.
I have obtained the same results wether "Re-Partition" was clicked or not. I am in the process of d/l AIO Vibrant Toolbox from Bay-Wolf. In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears (eyes in this case). Thanks.
Did you put the proper pit and tar files in their place? Just try to flash again, you might have just had a bad flash.
Hey, thanks for the reply. After reading your reply, I checked the .pit and .tar files but it checks out.
I have also tried using AIO toolbox and used the files provided by the program but I get the same results. The odd thing is that Odin shows pass. Could it be bootloaders? I know those are sometimes an issue with Captivates, but I don't know about Vibrants.
I have a similar problem, haven't been able to solve it but try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8698655&postcount=150
Hope it helps.
Just to be sure...can you try with the files available on this post, following the provided steps:

Look fellas this has been said hundreds of times around here.
When you flash JFD, untick reboot, when using Odin, because then it gives you a chance to do the data wipe and then the cache wipe, this has been the main culprit in almost all boot looping. and do the same with other roms as well, people just immediately reboot after a successful load, and forget to wipe this data factory reset and cache, clearing this out allows no other ghost data from previous install and the present loaders to interfere with the first time boot up, I used to make this mistake, but since doing this it stopped the boot looping.
I want to thank you guys for replying and trying to help. I will look into the links provided above, and see what I can do. I apologize if I have asked a question that has already been covered here. I'm a frequent visitor to the Captivate forums, and I'm aware what's expected of every member before they ask aquestion. However, I am doing this as a favor to friend, and I'm not familiar with the nuances of flashing a Vibrant back to stock. I also didn't have the time to peruse the forums untill I came across a solution. Thanks for all the help, and I'll update you soon on my progress.

Can you clarify what you mean be "it gives you a chance to do the data wipe..."?
I tried Odin and unticked reboot and then after Odin says successful, nothing happens. There is no window that pops up on the computer or the phone that gives the option to do a data wipe.
I know there's a data wipe and cache wipe option in CWM, but I can't get into CWM or any sort of recovery mode right now...
you're clarification would be greatly appreciated so that I can get out of this bootloop nightmare
So....

Did this get resolved? I am in the same boat working on a friend's phone. Have never had an issue with Odin that I couldn't figure out. But now I'm four days in and about to pull my hair out so the magic fix would be greatly reassuring right now! Help.
You need to enter recovery mode and do data wipe. If it still don't work, try another Odin image.
Hi,
Please give me some help guys,
After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.
I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!
I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.
App + torrent = probable malware .
Flash stock rom via Odin is the first step .

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Try safe mode.
Safe mode will boot only stock apps, apps which were installed by ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821557
Well, things have gone worst, i've entered in safe mode and choose factory reset from settings, now the phone keeps rebooting, show the green robot of factory reset for 2 seconds and then reboots again. Now cant even get in the samsung logo neither in recovery or download mode.
Now, is there a solution for this? Have removed the battery for about 5 minuts but it stays the same.

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!
I searched all over the internet
- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds
- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!
- I wiped the cache and it didn't work
- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))
- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that
- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong
HELP!
My daughter's i9300 started resetting itself without control. Today it got unmanageable and a successful boot became impossible.
Looking around, I found a thread suggesting that the power button switch is the culprit.
Indeed, after removing the switch, everything worked fine. Had major issues starting the phone, but eventually it started, so I was good to go.
I rooted it, installed latest TWRP and Resurrection ROM. The ROM was a random pick more or less, I had it on my LG G3 at some point and I wanted lollipop.
All fine and dandy, I was able to get into the phone. However, data wasn't wiped even though I selected it for wiping in recovery (probably didn't select the right thing...). So I went to settings and chose factory reset with wiping all data.
This lead to phone rebooting to recovery, but TWRP logo just flashes every few seconds without ever getting to recovery itself.
How can I make this phone work again? Any ideas?
Boot into download mode then flash a full stock rom with Odin. If that works then factory reset in recovery before testing.
You may find the firmware won't flash, as it sounds like your nand memory is worn.
I tried to flash the twrp Recovery on my J7 2017 or SM-J730F.
First i did everything as in the guide so i unticked auto reboot on odin and after it finished it didnt restart so i tried to get it in recovery like in the guide and nothing happened, it just stuck there i couldnt turn it off or do anything so i waited until the battery was empty and tried a new run but this time with auto reset. After it finished it restarted but it wouldnt want to go in recovery and always tried to get into normal android but it only showed the samsung screen turned off showed the samsung screen and so on. The only mode i couldnt into was the download mode. In it i tried to flash and other recovery that showed the same result and i tried to flash the original firmware. but Firmware flashing didnt even got trough and now i dont know what to do to get the phone to work again.
Please help me I just cant get anything on the Internet to this.

You shouldn't of tried to modify the phone in the first place and stood with stock.... First off you don't put auto reboot after flashing twrp you have that option off so you can reset the phone and hold the recovery sequence so it boot in recovery and twrp patches to your recovery partion

I'm assuming this a phone without a removal able battery so you should of reset via the little reset button in the hole and hold the twrp combination while it doing it so you would of caught it

No but there is always one on phones that don't have removal able battery for situations when the phone freezes out.... Google your phones emergency reset button it's usually a little hole in your phone where you put a pin in to trigger a automatic reset

I did the infamous update to Android 12 yesterday and this morning tinkering with the new settings I accidentally blocked myself out of my phone.
Before testing yourself I want to give a warning to not you bother to try this setting on, just in case the same thing happens to any of you: it was a setting called "Quickly unlock screen without password" or something like that, it was in Settings > Privacy & Security > Lock screen Password. If anyone that still has the Android 12 update installed would be so kind to share some screenshots of those steps I could tell right away which option was the one I activated, since I can't even access my phone anymore...
Don't know why, but it seems that with this option the system just tries to fill the password but it always fails and it just keeps vibrating forever and can't do anything at all. The only time it stops is after rebooting into the SIM unlock prompt, but after unlocking the SIM it starts vibrating again and can't even input my password.
After this now I'm trying to recover all my stuff from my phone before doing a factory reset, which seem inevitable at this point. I have tried to access mass storage from Recovery Menu but it doesn't seem to be recognized by my PC. I have seen that OnePlus devices have different recovery menus, this one has a menu with four options (Format data, Reboot device, Power off and Advanced) and at the bottom it says "Ver 1.2", which tapping on it twice gives a message telling to go into Download Mode, but it doesn't seem to do anything aside from rebooting.
Also tried to go into Fastboot from the recovery menu (Advanced > Reboot into Fastboot mode) but it just shuts down instantly after the Fastboot logo shows up.
So, please, could anyone give some advice here? I'm pretty much lost at this point and I don't want to factory reset right away just yet. Any help will be appreciated.
are you able to fix your phone?
