Yesterday I was using my device when it locked up, crashed, and refused to boot back up past the white HTC screen. I tried doing a hard reset, reflashing the ROM and kernel, clearing all the caches, and removing the MicroSD card. Still wouldn't boot.
Finally I wiped the 16GB internal storage, and it booted no problem. I did however lose a great deal of data (I connected he now-blanked internal storage to my laptop and un-deleted most of my data) and I'm a little concerned as to what this might indicate.
I'm running a rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with S-ON. I recently played around with updating to ICS, and in the process made a backup via CWM backup/restore, which I reverted to about a month ago, and after wiping the internal storage last night. When I restore this backup, it goes through the whole process with no problems, but at the end it says that there was an error restoring /data. The phone however, still functions normally after restoring.
Okay, so my phone wasn't sending messages all of a sudden. I have a P769 on jelly bean rooted. I restarted it and it got stuck in a bootloop over and over again after countless battery removals. I used CWM and tried to restore my backup of JB rooted, and all I got was a bunch of force closes. So I restored to my 10G rooted on ICS. All of my Google apps were gone and I went to take a picture and it said my internal memory was full and wouldn't read my SD card. I did factory resets and nothing works. I'm not sure what else to try.. any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I finally got JB to load and it would scan my SD card, then reboot itself while it was still up and running? I could see my backlights on my buttons flashing. So I took out my SD card, same thing. I wiped the cache and reformatted my SD card and now i'm getting an error message saying that my UIDs are inconsistent and it won't let me do a thing on the phone. My phone was fine 12 hours ago.. I haven't downloaded a thing or accessed anything at all.

I know the UID inconsistent error from my previous phone. Wipe data. Solves the problem.

How did you 'reformatted sdcard' ? Are you talking about internal memory(built in) or external memory (microsd)?
If you have some fresh backup system like 20x STOCK or whatever. (you can download it from XDA)
After this actions it will totally format your phone. You will no longer have system, apps, files that were on internal memory. It's kind of format C: on computer! So make sure you have backup on your external sdcard (microsd) and make sure to don't format your external sdcard.
I did it few times when I was messing around with custom ROMs so it's safe. I'm owner of P760 but don't think so if it will cause some problems.
1.Then you can go into CWM and mounts and storage and format following:
/cache
/data
/system
/sdcard - it is INTERNAL MEMORY (built in)
2.and then Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
3. backup and restore -> restore from external sdcard -> choose your backup

I've wiped the data like the previous answer, and I also tried this.. I went into CWM and formatted all of this and wiped the dalvik cache, then tried to restore from external sdcard, which I tried my JB and ICS and neither worked. Right now I am on my JB and it just gets stuck at the T-Mobile 4G logo.
EDIT: I tried formatting everything and restoring from my external sdcard and my phone won't recognize my sdcard anymore. It says there are no files on it, but I try it on another phone and I can see the files.
I've had something along these lines before on my Huawei Honor. I never did work out what was wrong. I asked on xda and it was suggested that the partitions on the phone had resized/gone corrupt.
I'm not saying this is what has happened in your case. The sudden force closes and then no boot is what my Honor did.
Can you get software update mode to come on? Switch off, hold volume up and plug in usb from pc.

Yes I had the same problem when I upgraded from ics to jb. Never figured out what happened but I copied all my files to the computer then I formatted my external sd. After the format I just copied all the stuff back on the card. Also cwm doesn't work for the second partition. Good luck.

i was trying to reset my phone so i figured i would just use recovery and install from the rom i already had on my phone. however i ended up wiping my internal storage. i decided to download the viperx+ rom and sideload the zip to my storage. i wasnt able to sideload it and tried switching recoveries from, cwm, twrp, and, the venom twrp. the latest twrp i discovered has mtp so i tried mounting that and was able to find it on my computer however its showing up as only 199mb. ive tried wiping over and over and im not sure why its showing up with so little internal storage. the viperx zip file is 800mb. im not sure whats going on.
Can someone atleast point me to a thread that might help...
I believe when we do a full wipe/ factory reset, not everything will be deleted, there must be somewhere not wiped. For example, to store the recovery.
So where it is? Can I place my custom rom there so I can flash it without computers using CWM or TWRP? My device is nexus 5 and it doesn't have external memory card slot.
I tried to place it at the very beginning path when you open your device from the windows explorer. I guess it'son 'sdcard' and it got wiped.
Hi, I'm running skydragon 6.02/sd kernel 5.04 and it was running very well until recently. I am starting to have forced closes and the black screen after reboot. Never had this before, sometimes the phone just turns off and I don't realize it and I miss messages. I'm thinking that there may be a corrupt file somewhere on the phone. I'd like to wipe phone completely, but when I do a factory reset, it still leaves some of my data on the phone (on the internal sd partition) I could manually delete that data using a file explorer, but I am not sure if there are other files in other places that are not being deleted as well. I was wondering if I could 'wipe' the internal drive from twrp (in addition to davalcik/system/data/cache) and then be able to reinstall sd 6.02 from twrp immediately following. I've never wiped the internal drive that way and am not sure if I would lose root and remove twrp in the process. Can somebody please direct me to a way to completely scrub the phone of current data files and then reinstall 6.02/5.04? Thanks in advance.

Yes. TWRP / wipe / internal storage.
