Ok, so i installed the cyanogen 7.0.3 update to the gtablet and it worked fine. I then went into settings and tried to erase the sd card, thinking it would format the 16 gigs of internal memory cause i had so many programs and files on it that i wanted to clean up. After i erased the sd, i hooked it up to the computer to browse the files and noticed that nothing was erased. I was like whatever and just tried to restart it just for the hell of it. Once i restarted it would get stuck in a recurring cyanogenmod logo boot loop. Nothing i did would fix it i tried a wipe of the data, the cache, a reset, and finally after none of this worked. I did the nv flash and pushed the original o.s. to the device. However, i still get stuck in a boot loop, this time with the gtab logo as it is what comes up under the original o.s.... Is there anything i can do? Do any of you have an idea as to how to proceed, or did i seriously brick this somehow? I'm at a total loss....any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
i also tried to get into some recovery the way you would under clowkwork but all it does is show an exclamation point with a triangle logo around it then shuts off to reboot.
I asume that you nvflash to a 1.1 bootloader.
so now nvflash clockworkmod. 08 mount usb and put a update file to restore(cm or stock) (next time you want clear sd you may use your pc to do it, be aware of not delete directory starting with a dot and you can afect some apps.) , after clean dalvik, user data & cache if boot loop ocurs.

I'm posting this so hopefully it would help others. I was clearing my battery stats in romracers recovery, and somehow ended up on the internal sd re-partition screen. Panicking, I tried to back out and ended up choosing 0MB. I finally got it up and running to back up my data:
Rebooting the device, it shows a long menu with all the boot options, saying it will attempt to boot in 5 seconds. In the OS at this point, the touchscreen is horribly messed up, and won't select things properly.
I reboot the phone again into fastboot. The serial number of the device shown is garbled. I first run 'fastboot erase recovery' and then fastboot flash recovery romracer-recovery.bin'.
At this point I'm able to boot into recovery and go to Advanced Restore. Using a previous Nandroid backup I was able to restore only the PDS partition. Now I'm finally able to get into my OS and use the touchscreen, I'm now backing up all my data and attempting to fix my boot screen. It still shows a long a text menu:
Serial Number: ###
Hardware Rev: 0x83f0
Build Date:
etc... showing all the boot options.
I've still yet to figure out how to get the Motorola boot logo back, but at least i'm able to use the phone again.
Just download a new boot logo from the Themes section, and flash it, youll be good to go.
hi,
I also went through this issue.
exact same.
I was saved by notorius and itdanno.
great people.
here is motorola boot logo.
http://db.tt/zUFTTuM3
usual stuff like wipe dalvik cache.
flash this.
you will get your motorola logo back.
However tragic this may be, this is the wrong place to post. This should be in 'General' or 'Q&A.'
Follow the advice above and see if that fixes.
My mistake, thank you.
And thank you for the logo
hi, i just did the exact same thing... i do have access to recovery and my backups but it wont boot past the long text menu.
any help is definitely appreciated
*edit* interestingly it appears the pds directory was wiped from my first backup listed but the rest were ok... i just restored from one of the other backups and im now up and running.
So i decided to format system (Don't ask me why I honestly don't know ) and after i did whenever i reboot it it stays at the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot logo. I can't reinstall Miui because somehow it says it can't open it because of it's "bad". I also tried to wipe data/factory reset, which did nothing. Any help please? Oh and i was too stupid to have a nandroid
If you formated /system then you basically wiped your OS.
You shouldn't have wiped your data/factory, that could have been kept there if you stayed on MIUI...
You have to reflash a rom, doesn't matter which since you wiped everything.
Since you know this kind of information.Does it erase the recovery mode too.Do you know where i go about following the steps to reinstall the Os .I tried Odin and never booted to the Graphic user interface.It booted back to the charging symbol and no charge.The charge look red for a long time.I think it maybe a bad battery,software.Who knows what the heck happened.I was rooting my tablet and it went fine.Once i tried to install a software to install lingeage os.That is when it didn't want to reinstall any software to 100%.Sorry to confuse you.I tried getting advice and more info.
Hi, I've had a quick search and couldn't find anything that matches my question.
My S3 is stuck on the flashing 'Samsung' screen, I've tried connecting it to my pc to restore it with Kies but it won't load up. I've never tried to root it so could I put the phone into download mode and root it then save my data?
I've done a far bit of reading trying to fix it and I've started the phone in boot mode and wiped the cache but I need to get my data off the phone.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks:good:
Edit: I rooted it because I got bored of waiting and it still isn't getting past the flashing Samsung screen any ideas?
Try flashing the exact same firmware with Odin, disable kies first.
This might allow your phone to boot but you'll probably have to factory reset anyway. If done in recovery this shouldn't wipe the internal sd card, but you will lose all apps and settings etc.
For the phone to spontaneously stick during boot usually means a corruption issue, most often of the internal storage.
This is going to be a little long, but I figured the more info the better. I recieved a TF201 from a friend of mine. He already had it rooted and running a custom ROM. It was loaded down with a bunch of stuff so I attempted a factory restore through CWM so I could start over and customize to my liking. Everything went fine (or so I thought) It booted back up to stock interface and still had root intact. I downloaded Astro FM from Play Store just to have a look around and make sure everything was intact. Everything seemed normal but suddenly rebooted and stuck at splash screen. Im able to boot into recovery still so first thing I tried was loading a backup as there were about 6 of them in the list of backups. None of them work, I just get "No files found" error. Next I tried to reload stock ROM with the Install zip from SD option. Also getting no files found error. somehow the SD card has nothing on it anymore even after copying a zip of the stock ROM downloaded from ASUS. The only other thing I can do that I know of is instead of loading recovery, is go into the cold boot menu with the 3 icons in the middle of the screen. By pressing nothing, it says that it is cold-booting Linux. This process just hangs and nothing happens. It does attempt to install MTP device drivers (which were already previously installed) but ends in an error (Failed). Selecting the middle option gives me "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" but this also hangs and does nothing. Lastly the "Wipe Data" option completes it process and says "Wipe-Data done" but then also hangs and does nothing. At this point Im assuming its Hard Bricked and nothing can be done but I just wanted to see if anyone would be able to help. I have read a lot of similar posts on here but haven't been able to find anything that helps. Most other people with similar problems at least have a way to install from SD but my device wont recognize anything on the card. Does anyone know of anyway to fix this??
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
