Hello guys,
I've got an X10mini (E10) (second hand but should not branded)
I'm actually stucked in a bootloop. It happened after I tried flashing the miniCM7 ROM with CWM.
I've tried the wipe data/factory reset frome CWM but nothing happened
I've tried the recovery option from my previous backup
Nothing
I've tried reflashing the Stock Rom (found in one of Xda-developers thread)
And I still got a bootloop (with the Sony Ericson logo)
Could anyone help me? =)

Why don't you try a repair with SEUS or PC Companion, that will get you back to original.
You said you did wipe data/factory reset, but did you wipe cache and dalvick-cache too (second one in advanced menu in CWM), because they're filled with useless junk from your old ROM, causing many errors.

Disconnect your phone from your pc
Start PC Companion
Choose Support Zone
It will try to find an update for your phone, but since it's disconnected it can't
It will offer a Repair link
Follow the instructions from there.

The fact is that the last version of PC Companion doesn't have that Support Zone anymore
and downloading the previous version doesn't help cause it force you to upgrade the software ...

You've got an unlocked bootloader right?
I can get you an original SE Firmware to flash with flashtool if you're interested... just let me know...

Yeah I unlocked the bootloader with flashtool (the log said it was done properly)
And it would be nice to get the original SE firmware =D (I tried one and it didn't solve anything but still ... what choice do I got?)

You don't have much choice i suppose, i'll give you the download link in a pm
Just download it, put it in the firmwares subfolder where flashtool is installed and flash it to your phone, it will take a while because it flashes everything (kernel and rom), but i hope it will help you

I saw your thread.
I also have an x10 Mini and got stuck in a bootloop (colors swishing around on screen). I rooted, installed xrecovery - what shows up in the screen is cwm recovery v 5,0,2,8. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed this Kernel using flash tool (an older version): U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf I tried to downloand nAa 11 but 14 kept coming up, so I put that in the firmware file along with the stock Kernel. I forgot to install the drivers, but the flash tool said it was successful. After disconnecting and starting the phone "Ana" words not the symbol came up and the boot loop began. Alternatively, on start up, I can get into cwm recovery. I didn't save the rom or google app zip on my sd card as I assumed I could that after flashing the Kernel, but the bootloop makes impossible
My goal is to install Android Fire 2.3.
I would really appreciate any guidance.

Connect your phone to your PC using the usb-cable
Boot into CWm (you say you can)
Go into Mounts and Storage
Choose USB-Mass storage
You should be able to access the sd-card from your pc now and copy the ROM and maybe Gapps.

Worked like a charm!. Thank you very much. I went for mini cm 7 as it seemed the most stable. thanks for your help.

I don't know, apparently it worked fine when you connected it to your pc...
Maybe you could pull all your files off the sd-card to your pc, boot into cwm and format the sd-card (in mounts and storage), then reboot into the rom.
If that's all successful, put the files back on your sd-card.

What would happen if I select "apply update from sd card". This is the second option under CWM recovery.
Should I restore from Nanadroid. i s this necessary?
Could partitioning the sd card help? Thanks again!

The 'Apply Update.zip' does exactly the same thing as the 'Install zip from sd-card', but the first option only works for zip-files named 'update.zip' in the root of your sd-card, the second option will let you browse the sd-card and select a zip-file with any name. The second option is the one you use to install your ROM.
Restoring from nandroid, just fills your internal phone-memory with the old stuff you had in there, it won't affect your sd-card, other than that it reads the nandroid from that sd-card.
Your sd-card needs to be formatted with the fat-filesystem to work properly, so partitioning or not makes not much of a difference, only that the available space for your stuff (music, photo's, etc.) is less because the other partitions take up space too.
If you can flash your ROM in CWM from sd-card I don't really see any problem with your sd-card.
worked like a charm. many thanks!

Hi everyone,
I don't like to post here, as I prefer to find the thinks by my self,
but this is an urgent case,
I was running foxhound + boeflla kernel witch I read that support swap, and I'm trying to get this work,
i download the app called : swapper 2 or something like that, I ticked some options on the app, and PUF my phone restart and stick at bootlogo, I can enter in CWM and Download mod,
1- I tried to flash the combo that contain all the files ( mix.pit, bootimage, rom, csc and modem ), and tick re-partition, but still at bootlogo,
2- my s3 go until the samsung bootlogo ( pass the samsung galaxy s3 gt-I9300 ) but stick there, i've tryed a lot of things, even in CWM, like do a full wipe and install other rom, or make and nandroid recovery, but nothing happened
3- when i try to do a full wipe on CWM I get a mensage E: /data partition can't mount, if I try to mount /sdcard the CWM retorns the same mensage, somethimes it shows E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
so, my phone is bricked ?, the only way is to do a unbrick JTAG ?
:crying:
Could someone please help-me ? =/
if someone have tha correct pit file for international SGS3 16 gb, i found a lot of files but none have a functional link,
sorry for my bad english if I have a mistake .....
Re: [HELP] Please help with: Can't mount /data and internal storage
Why would you mess with your phone if you have no idea what you're doing?
restore your efs for starters. google how
hi,
my internal sd card is currupted, i can acces the others partitions like /system etc, but i cant acces the /data and /efs,
my phone stick on bootloop, why can I restore the efs partition ?, I have tried to restore to stock in Odin, they show pass but the phone stick on boot ( samsung logo ).
if don't want to help please dont be rudge, i'm not a noob, and not just because I'm new I do not know what I'm doing...
any way, is there a chance to flash a rom, and start it in external storage ? i see that if i change some parts of a kernel and repack it i can do this.......
i was searching a lot on google, and nothing can help me, that's why i post here !
please someone that are expert, help me !
U have deleted EFS folder ( i had the same problem this weekend, send my s3 to servise.) Try installing (first that u had) stock rom 4.0.4 and install whith odin. If u have your efs folder backedup is the best solution.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
However if you don't have your /efs folder then... BRICK. Your last choice is probably some restore options like repartitioning of /sdcard (option from CWM/PhilZ) but if that doesn't help then game over.

Thank's for the answers,
You mean that flash android 4.0.4 can make something diferent than the 4.1.2 ?
i have a backup of my efs partition, but the problem is that i can't boot my phone, only recovery and download, and i have tried to partition my internal sd with CWM and with PIT file on odin, but nothing happen =/
I think that the only way is to buy an JTAG kit and make a unbrick process, someone have another idea to solve my problem ? my phone is under warranty but my flash counter show 6, is there a way to reset the flash counter to 0 using Odin or CWM ???
this will be a very hopefull information, please if someone know how to reset the flash counter usin only Odin or CWM tell me !!!
thanks again !
nobody ? =/

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..
there is soulution for this look in cwm-mount/unmount-format data,sd,.... last option and after reinstall sys using odin to oryginal android or some custoom room if rooted (offcourse):good: i just did like this and it workd !! boot screen some seconds and please enter pin code

This actually worked! Thank you for posting this. That option in CWM was the only one that actually recognized the /data and removed the corrupted image/preloader I flashed previously using the S5 SIII rom.:victory:

I had this same issue, but I solved it now running DeoDex 8.1 with Magisk and TWRP.
Basically, this is a brick, but Knox doesn't let you recover from it the normal way. As long as you can boot into TWRP you should be good. Usually caused by safety net issues.
Access TWRP. Select Wipe and then press format data. Once this is done you should be able to boot to your carrier logo or phone logo and be stuck.
Basically what's happening is your phone (Knox) is preventing you from rooting. This is a method Samsung uses to validate that damage to a phone was from Custom Rom, Custom Recovery, Root, etc. Samsung doesn't have permission to void your warranty without proof that the brick was directly from the mod/hack.
In order to bypass this you need to trick the phone to think you undid it, even though you didn't. First off, boot into Odin. It cannot be done through recovery, as that skips a step. Next you'll want to press Volume Down (Cancel (Reboots Phone)). You will be on the logo for a while, than you should see a loading symbol. Once booted into android, you'll want to boot back into recovery.
From here, you want to do I standard factory reset. Once that is done, reboot. Once Android is up and running boot back into recovery.
Select Backup and make sure only the standard three options are selected. Press backup.
Go ahead and install your root, and if something happens press Restore and select your backup.
Cannot mount internal storage (or any other partition)

Can you please describe in a little more detail how you managed to trick the Knox system? I have an I9305 where neither internal och external storage is possible to mount. I can boot TWRP but every try to wipe or format the system is failing because one cannot mount the storage. I also can put the phone in download mode and connect to Odin, but the same happens, that every operation fails... probably because the internal storage cannot be mounted. In download mode I can see that the Knox flag is activated, and I hope that your trick can help to get access to the internal storage again. Can you please tell step by step how you did it? What does "boot into Odin" mean? Can it be done differently than starting Odin and connect the phone in Download mode?

Sorry if I was confusing.
Basically what I meant was boot up the phone into Download mode, and once at the screen instead of pressing volume up, press volume down, and you shouldn't see the original error anymore.

Thanks for the clarification. I have now tried that, but unfortunately the phone is still stuck on the first boot screen, and TWRP is not able to mount any storage.

When you say any storage, do you mean it is all unmountable, or do you mean the certain ones are unmountable, and the rest are listed as 0b?
Anyways, there are many more options, the only problem is most of them do in fact require you to lose your data. Hopefully you allowed Google to automatically back up your Android device, and if so you won't lose any data. Check out this thread, but it is designed for the J7, so when you download something, make sure it is designed for the Samsung Galaxy S III 19300/19305.

Fix soft-bricked Mate 2 (MT2-L03) phone using TWRP
If you messed up the phone and it came to a state that phone can not boot into android, if you have TWRP installed and have a backup, then you know how to fix that easily.
But if you don't have your own backup, I have upload my system partition so hopefully you can use this to restore your phone. The backup is taken very close to stock, and it is rooted with SuperSU installed.
BTW, there is a "safe mode" boot method, so try that before using twrp recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...ted-amazon-app-store-stuck-boot-loop-t2872628 (post 6 and 7)
Steps to Restore you phone if all other ways failed:1. Your MT2-L03 need have bootloader unlocked, and TWRP recovery installed properly. Even your phone is soft bricked, as long as you can boot into bootloader mode, you can still unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/progress-rooting-ham2-t2867975
Install twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc.../2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t28851442. Boot into twrp recovery and select "System" partition only, and backup it to your external storage (yes, I know your system partition is bad, this step is to create proper twrp backup directory)
3. Download following file to your PC, unzip it.http://tinyurl.com/qzxkm4x
FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip4. Turn off phone and take out your SD card out and plug into PC, then navigate to following directory under the SDCARD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx, the xxxxx is a string that different in each phone
5. Copy all the files unzipped from step 3 to above location. overwrite any files with same name.
6. Put back the SDcard to the phone, and boot into TWRP recovery.
7. Choose restore, select the only entry that you did the backup, and select "System" only, perform the restore.
8. Wipe your dalvik cache, cache.
9. Then reboot.
10. If you still have problem, boot into recovery again, and wipe /data parition as well (Factory Reset).Download the MT2-L03 backup here:

FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip
And thanks @dbmj unlock bootloader, @Modding.MyMind build twrp recovery, and @D33PTHAWTE confirmation that this fixed his phone.
Glad you got this posted. This will be very vital to many people down the road. And great work on giving instructions to create a backup for the simplicity of automating the needed directories for usage of the actual shared backup. Thumbs up bro.
@D33PTHAWTE, welcome back
For everyone not getting TWRP to work I have done it on 3 HAM2s and all work try this.
1.flash this stock recovery https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U&usp=sharing
2.even if you have your own use that because I know that works and I dont know what yours is.
3.boot into the recovery and make sure that its the stock recovery and its working.
4. restart the phone 2 or 3 times to be safe
5. flash using twrp using 15 second ADB installer.
Has anyone followed thoes steps and that recovery above? (not your own) if not try that and let me know. take a screen shot of what ADB is showing you so I can see that TWRP was successfully installed. Starting at square one. Flash twrp and show me its flashed.

Hi, I have seen these issues pretty frequent recently that:
1) /cust partition is not covered in this TWRP backup, so after restore, you may still got facebook app mismatch failure when upgrade.
2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

This is a clean Stock ROM (flashable zip) with Root after upgrade to B148 for MT2L03.
It should only be used for plain carrier unlocked Huawei MT2-L03. Other varies (carrier locked) MT2L03 is un-tested and may brick your phone.
This ROM include /cust, /firmware, /system and /boot partition.
The official B148 update also contains update to SBL1/ABoot/TZ/RPM partition, they are not included due to risk concern.
I didn't fully test this ROM, I just pickup the image from my early backups. I installed it to my already updated phone and boot up fine. So please try it and let me know if you see any problems.
Working great for me! thank you, fixed all my problems.

Someone tried using a similar process to swap a consumer cellular mate to a standard mate. They lost their imei in the process.

Is your phone mt2l03 and bought as unlocked?
Another thing you can try is do a factory reset (to be safe backup /data first) and wipe cache, dalvik cache.

Hi,
I am aware of the threads suggesting how to fix the phone stuck at the Samsung Boot Logo. Do factory reset is one option, but this would erase all the personal data in the phone including the photos.
I was able to get into the recovery mode and download mode of the phone. I tried wipe cache partition option in the recovery mode but still no joy. (I couldn't find the option for Wipe dalvik cache though)
I was able to detect the phone in recovery mode via ADB using USB cable. But I was struggling to get ADB to connect with the phone using the command prompt. So I was unable to recover the data/photos in the phone before going down the route of factory reset it.
I saw a few software on the internet claiming they are able retrieve photos/data from soft bricked phone. Can anyone confirm/suggest whether these claims are true? (e.g. REMO Recover for android and Yodot Recover)
thanks in advance.
cheers.

Have you tried mounting your phones storage (also known as USB storage) in the mounts and storage menu (CWM recovery)? (Assuming you have custom recovery) Works everytime with my phone and no adb drivers required! If you haven't install custom recovery, you can google philz recovery and flash it via ODIN. Then you should be able to mount your phone's storage and retrieve and important photos and etc. Factory reset won't delete any photos and videos. It will delete ALL apps and related data and settings, but not important pictures and etc. But try what I suggested first before attempting factory reset.
Oh... I wish I can use CWM recovery. However, this S2 phone has not been rooted. So it is on original firmware. Can I still root it then install CWM recovery without losing media data?
Also, I thought factory reset will clear the phone to factory status, i.e. no photos and any media file? (more precisely, I think there is no option to just do factory reset without wiping data)
I remember that's what happened to my S4 before when testing root/roms (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+-+Wipe+Data+-+Factory+Reset/23217)

yes, you can still root your phone and won't lose your data. If you are on stock jb 4.1.2, you can install siyah kernel 6.0b5 on your phone via ODIN (that means you need to download the tar file one here: http://d-h.st/frK). Your phone should be rooted and have CWM recovery after that. If you have 4.0.4 stock ics, you can install siyah 5.0.1 onto your phone (download link: http://d-h.st/Bcf) via ODIN.
In odin, select the tar file under PDA then click start. Your phone should reboot automatically once done
Nice one!!
I successfully flash siyah 5.0.1 onto the phone and managed to get back the media files I wanted to backup using USB mass storage function in Recovery mode.
But then I got another question. I guess it is because the stock ROM installed version does not play nicely with the kernel. (As I cannot remember which android version it has before I flash Siyah kernel onto it). It just won't boot up. It went passed the Samsung boot screen (with yellow triangle), then the Siyah logo flashed a few times, then the screen went black out, the phone was super hot and I have to take the battery out to turn it off.
I haven't tried to factory reset in Siyah's recovery mode yet, but before I do it, I suspect that it won't work, as I assume the android ROM version will still be the same even if I factory reset it. Should I go get another ROM to flash instead? if so, which one is recommended (I'd love to go to lollipop if that's available.)
As I never played with custom kernel/recovery, can someone point me to the right direction? Should I flash another more up-to-date kernel before I try to flash a lollipop ROM onto it? (I believe Siyaho 5.0.1 is only good for ICS?)
Newbie here. I have been reading thru different threads
and for someone like me who have zero idea about rooting phones
or about all the terms used.. I somehow got to the point of
1. Downloaded latest version of ODIN
2. Reinstalled USB Drivers for Mobile phone in my laptop.
3. Still looking for Siyah? or CWM to flash on my phone?
-this is where I am stuck
I have tried the link you provided @gsstudios,
but it only gave me NARUTO's picture when I extracted the file.
anyway my problem is, I have a
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-19100
>already rooted before (don't have any idea with what)
>stuck on boot LOOP with triangle thing
>RECOVERY MODE (not possible)
>DOWNLOAD MODE (accessible)
wanted to retrieve all the photos/videos saved from internal storage
don't care if phone will get fix or not (since I already have a new one)
But I need all the photos, & if possible contacts and other data saved there.
PLEASE I NEED HELP
I went to the service center and asked if they can help me atleast access CWM recovery
to use USB MOUNT on device but all they've told me over and over is
"we will wipe your phone to fix it"
"not possible to recover anything,we'll just reformat your phone to fix it"

You downloaded the wrong file and probably clicked the wrong download button. The download now button is the real download button, NOT the one on the top.

Thanks. I tried again the link on the Siyah 5.0.1 you added earlier but there is only one download button (blue one) and again nothing extracted.
I have a question though. Since my phone is rooted already before and working fine,
and 2years later got stuck to bootloop and only have DOWNLOAD MODE access,
do I still root my phone again with the link you have provided (siyah)
or should I just flash my phone with a CWM recovery to access USB MOUNT on my phone?
also, from the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270)
which one should I flash my phone with? I am reading thru it, for like 3 times already
and still don't get any idea which one to download. T_T

Did you read this bit:
What kernel to choose:
The important part is the Kernel code:
XWLPX-NEE
Kernel code is in red (LPX), for this example, you need an LPX ROM. However, often, you can mix kernels when they are close: LPF kernel with LPG ROM...
NEE code doesn't matter at all, I add it for reference. It is the CSC
XW: mixed, often doesn't matter for close regions. For example, XW and XX are often interchangeable. However, mixing a BU with an XW ROM or inversly, sometimes works, but often ends in a bootloop. In that case, either boot into recovery or download mode to reflash
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last three letters before the region code is important. Choose the one that is closest to yours (look at the build number in the about device menu).
As for the first question, it's all up to you. Flashing siyah kernel or CWM will both give you a recovery, so either one will allow you to access your phone storage in the mounts menu. Remember that Android version is important as you can't flash a jellybean kernel on ics and vice versa.
gsstudios
Edit: Also, NEVER extract kernel zips or tar files. They are ready to be flashed. There should be a few folders and other files in it that makes up the kernel image.

I guess it will be hard for me to do that since I can't really check what kernel I had before
I've absolutely no access to my device nor open "ABOUT DEVICE" menu.
Tried to see if a clue might be at the back of my phone but alas, nothing there.
All i know for sure is my device was on ICS. will try my luck on ICS compatible CWM or Siyah. thanks again!
i already did a search in google and XDA but nothing worked ! please read carefully
my G925I just restarted and never be able to boot again, so i enter to stock recovery and wiped cache data BUT no luck, and flashed a stock firmware and still the same, it's boot to stuck recovery and show installing updates BUT at 30% its stop and saying "erasing" then its reboot and stay in bootloop,
i managed to get into download mode and flashed TWRP recovery, when ever i try to flash a rom the phone restart again and enter bootloop and it's never shutdown!!
tried :
1- wipe everything
2- flash more than one stock firmware
3- flash recovery and succeeded BUT it's keep restarting !
4- flash custom ROM BUT no luck, keep restart at installing !
5- flashed custom kernel and it WORKED :good:
for now i can only boot into download mode without restart
have a solution ? :crying:

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
