Galaxy S4 mini(Shv-e370k) bootloop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a galaxy s4 mini(shv-e370k). When i flashed stock rom from odin it said pass. So when it auto-rebooted it booted on previous cwm recovery not stock one. After that booting system goes into bootloop with vibration and s4 mini logo. Also formatting delvik cache leads to rebooting system (which is bootloop) as if system crashed. Same goes for factory reset. But wiping cache partition is successful.
Anyone knows what is my problem????
HELP NEEDED PLEASE!!

Sounds strange; one suggestion is: go into download mode, try re-installing CWM (if it worked before) or try installing TWRP and try again. Perhaps CWM got broken.

Tried it . doesn't work. I think there is some thing wrong with userdata(data) partition. When i format data or dalvik cache it auto reboots. formatting cache and system from cwm completes without problem. Anyway i can fix it if data partition is corrupted?

[Q] Help with bootlooping Galaxy Player 4.0

Followed instructions to flash KlassicRom and am now bootlooping.
Installed Steve's Kernel and booted into CWM where I made a backup.
Then back to odin to install KlassicRom R5 - no errors but on reboot just bootlooped.
After waiting 15 minutes with bootlooping, I booted into CWM to restore. Restore indicated success but on reboot, now just get Samsung boot screen with Steve's android guy in the corner. Stuck on boot.
I can still reboot into CWM and Odin recognizes the player when in download mode, so I'm hoping it's recoverable.
Anyone available to guide?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Boot into CWM and
wipe cache
Factory Reset
go to advance and Wipe Dalvick Cache
then exit CWM and reboot.
Tried the wipes before. Did so again.
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:
Dalvik Cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Reboot hangs at Steve's Android guy and Samsung again.
R5 don't work with steve's kernel. It only works with klin kernel or terrasilent.

Downloaded and Odin Flashed R3
Odin reported PASS
on reboot, bootlooping again.
Booted into CWM and Wiped Cache, Factory Reset, and Wiped Dalvik, then reboot.
Bootlooping still.
Same error messages as before when boot hung:
No errors reported with Wipe Cache
No errors reported with Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache reports:
Dalvik Cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Then bootlooping.
US or international, if US there is a stock but rooted ROM on here somewhere (not the full restore using heimdall), i'll look for it later that you can use to flash back with odin then boot into STOCK recovery and wipe data and factory reset that is what got me out of the bootloops when I first started flashing.
here is the link if your running the US model http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512331&highlight=stock+rooted+4+0
Downloaded the stock rom. Odin flashed. Booted into stock recovery and did factory reset/wipe.
Rebooted to joy. Thanks!
Might wait a bit before trying to flash the custom rom again.

Flash the terrasilent kernel and use that version of CWM to make a backup, its a much newer version and backs up things the older misses, also don't have the USB cable connected to the player when your in CWM thats what seamed to throw me into the bootloop, As long as you stick to Klins ROMs only (not using any of those CM7's or anything based off CM7) what you just experienced and solved with the "stock" ROM flash is the worst case scenario when flashing only variations of Klin's ROM with Odin.

Stuck on boot screen

Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

OMG THX...
I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.

[Q] Need help - Can't get past recovery.

Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.

[Q] Problem installing custom rom

Hi Guys
Im having some problems trying to install a custom rom into my new Galaxy SIII I9300.
The rom in question is OmegaRom V35
After roooting and all, yesterday i tryed installing the rom with mobile odin, following all the instructions.
The result was the phone rebooted after the instalation seemed to be ok, but got stuck on the booting animation, and never got out of there.
I Had then to inject cwm with odin desktop, wiped data, cache anda dalvik, and then proceed to install the stock rom with desktop odin. All went well and the phone worked great.
I thought that maybe the problem was with mobile odin pro. So today, i went and proceeded to install Omega V35 via CWM. I again put the file on internal sd card, wiped data, cache and dalvik, and the rom started flashing. It all started good but, with no warning, at the mniddle of the installation, when applications were being installed, the phone went automatically and wuickly back to CWM!
Of course the installation wasnt finished, so i was stuck with cwm on reboot. Again made wipe data, cache and Dalvik, tried again to flash Omega V35, and again, the same problem...
In the end, i had to flash the stock rom again.
I searched the forum, but i cant seem to find the problem for this. I followed all the instructions, and had no error messages besides CWM skiping the format of the card, and some message (that i've seen in videos as normal), when wiping Dalvik!
Any clue to what's happening?
A clue read the instructions for the rom .
<b>Installation:Install CWM Recovery with Odin - Get CWM Recovery here
Boot to CWM Recovery using volume up, power button and home key
Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!
Wipe data / factory reset (Not needed if you already have Omega)
Install Omega
(Wipe cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step
Wipe dalvik cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step)​</b>

Maybe i didn't expressed myself correctly, but today i followed those instructions twice, and, at each of these tries the
same thing happened. When the flashing was running apparently problemless it simply stoped and went to CWM without rebooting.

When you try to flash it through cwm recovery what error do you get while flashing?

None whatsoever. The flashing process seems to be running ok, It starts, i select default instalation, after i can see the apps being installed and suddenly, it all stops and goes into cwm without any message or warning...

[Q] Bootloop on any rom, after wiping cache, data, etc.

Hi,
Last night my I9300 decided to randomly reboot and get stuck in a bootloop. This morning I took the time to wipe my cache, data, etc. through CWM but it still would not boot. I did a wipe data/factory reset, wiped cache again and installed the latest AOKP nightly, but it still will not boot.
I can start the bootloader through CWM and I can also get into download mode, but it just won't boot Android.
ADB does list my device while in the bootloop, but I get a "device unauthorized" message.
I've had bootloops before and wiping cache/data/factory reset/installing a new rom always worked, but in this case I am clueless.
What can I do? Is there maybe a way to connect logcat without unauthorizing, or authorizing from CWM, or something?
Do you have the newest CWM?? Or try any other custom recovery
As above, use the latest recovery then manually format system, data, cache preload and data/media/0

How can I do this if I cannot authorize a ADB connection?
If yours recovery works flash the newest version
If not flash a stock ROM via Odin
dalvik cache

On Cwm click advance and try wiping dalvik cache if that doesn't work install your stock rom
