Hi,
i'll try to explain the problem.
I use the Galaxy s6 SM-G925T and wanted to reset to factory defaults. The phone is in original state. So no custom rom, not rooted or any other modifications. The Battery has been replaced because the old battery had to be charged every 4 hours. Because the new battery does not lives much longer (maybe 6 hours) i wanted the factory reset.
First using the volume-up home and power button, i've choosen wipe cache / factory reset
Down the bottom of the screen was a text : No Support SINGLE-SKU - Supported API: 3 - dm-verify error
I continued and wiped the data
The system returned "Data wipe complete"
After the phone rebooted the system restarted, only to show the blinking SAMSUNG text.
I left the phone blinking for about 1 hour, nothing happened.
So i loaded the official systemfile : CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.tar
using Odin3_v3.14.1 i was able to flash it onto the phone.
After rebooting now the red android puppet showed up and the cf-auto-root program fnished without errors but the phone still wont start
Is the phone bricked or is it still possible to restore factory defaults and get the phone back to work ?
Thanx for all the helpfull answers !!

About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
Hello.
I have a i9100 smartphone with stock XWLSW firmware. After last change of firmware I did not even root it. So it was all stock without root.
My battery was already in bad condition - from 9 AM till 2-4 PM it gets to 15%.
But anyway.
Yesterday it discharged to 1%, when I plugged charger into the phone. I left it working, and after a while I tried to turn the screen on, but the phone was not responding to power key. It was not turning on the screen, and long hold did not turn the phone on.
I unplugged the charger, took out battery and saw a small wet spot on sticker and on battery (maybe it leaked a bit).
Well, it was not the first priority at the moment, so I just wiped it, and put the battery back, then I turned the phone back ON.
It started, but now I have a boot loop at Samsung Logo. When the battery was still discharged I could hear the discharge signal after logo, and then the logo starts again, and discharge signal again, etc.
I left it in that state for a night with charger plugged in. In the morning - it was in the same condition.
Things I tried:
Removing battery for over 10 minutes, clearing Cache from recovery.
Both recovery and download modes are working.
So the question is - can I restore the phone without Factory reset?
If not - can I somehow backup my data (savegames, etc) before doing factory reset?
I just tried to update the firmware again using ODIN with no luck. It updated successfully, but than again hangs on Samsung Logo.
Rule 1: Don't complain until you haven't tried factory reset.So be a man,and do a full wipe.

What he said. Also, flash a 3 part firmware, which will also wipe your phone & has a funny habit of fixing situations like this.
I was going to do a Factory Reset or flash 3 part firmware, but only after I backup data. That was my main point of creating this thread - how to backup data in this situation.
Anyway, I did install Philz kernel, wiped dalvik cache, cache partition - it helped, but not for long. I saw my desktop, but after few seconds it went into boot loop again. I then did a Custom backup of data only, and did a Factory Reset through recovery.
Now I try to restore data to see what it will give me.
So i have been having pretty much the same problem with some little differences.
First my battery seems OK, no leaking no nothing, but it might just got old as I've got the phone for over 2 years now... Second, my bootloop occurs after full discharge, when i try to turn on the phone afterwards it just gets stuck on Galaxy SII logo, not even the boot, and stays that way no matter how long i wait. Third, at about the last 5-8% my screen starts flickering as if it wasn't getting enough electricity which shouldnt happen too and never happend before 4 months or so.
So lastly I've been getting this bootloop every now and then. Ive got a temporary fix by backing up my phone through recovery then wiping it clean and then restoring. But i just cant figure out why it does that.... I mean wipe helps, but i do restore everything afterwards....
Without restoring the problem still occurs so its not like i restore something deffective in the sw that makes this happen...
Hi.
I was using XT910 (with 4.0.1, not rooted or flashed) when the screen suddenly went blank (black) and after about 15 seconds the device restarted without promting anything. While booting, first comes Motorola's official red logo, and then Provider's logo and right at this stage booting stucks just displaying the latter logo without continuing to boot.
I was able to wipe out the cache, but it didn't help. I can reset to factory defaults, but I have critically important data in some applications and if I do so I'm going to wipe out everything.
Is there any way/solution to retrieve/extract or get an access to applications installed and their data in this case? I can even sacrifice the device in order to get that important data (no need photos or contacts).
Thank you.

My encryption failed, forcing me to factory reset my S4 mini :crying: But when I hitteed the factory reset button, it wiped my data (took a minute or so), reeboted, and I landed at the same screen as before. Also wiping cache, dalvic cache, and formatting /data didn't help
I've read severeal very old threads here, saying that you got to reinstall the stock firmware. Is this still possible??? Can somebody tell me where to get the right 3 part firmware for my S4 mini (DTM)???
How the encryption problem occured
HELP!!! My phone forces me to factory reset, but the SD-Card encryption key will be lost then!
I can still reach the recovery and got a backup from Titanium of all apps on my SD-Card (thank god I did it yesterday). But the SD-Card is encrypted, and the key will be lost in case I do the factory reset. I can still access the CMW recovery and even can backup the system (just /data is still not working), ADB is enabled. Does anybody know how to safe the SD-Card key/unencrypt the SD-Card?
PS. I still know date and time when I did the encryption of both storages
How the failture happened:
I started the unencryption progress, and went out of my room, the phone still plugged in.
A few minutes I came back, the screen was still black. It also didn't reacted when you pressed a key. I thought something went wrong and the phone shut down complety, so I pressed the power button for a few secs. Then it booted, but then I got the message that I got to factory reset my device.
It seems like the unencrypting has never started, but the device thinks it has started, and therefore fails to boot.
Bump
Please help me, all my game stats are stored on the SD Card and it would be horrible if I would loose them:crying:
Another bump
Other problem now, so I brought the thread back to the top
As i mentioned from the title my recovery menu appearing and disappearing every 3-4 second. Menu shows him self 3-4 second and blinking and showing again.
The problem was maybe virus. Because when i plug the phone for charge, sometimes it was discharging. And next boot-up told me your phone encrypted and need to be factory reset. And there was a button to reset phone from system. I clicked and now recovery menu even not opening. Seems i need some help :crying:
Edit: I was using Resurrection rom 5.4.9 Android 5.1.1
I'd suggest finding your original service provider rom and flash it using odin. This should wipe it and put it back to factory. Then re-install from there.
Thank you for answer, i will do it today.
