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...
I selected in recovery mode: Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
The screen went blank and I had to remove the battery.
Now the phone is jammed and won't start again. The white THL blinks and the screen goes black. Also it won't go to the recovery mode.
Is there anything I can do?
You can check here to see if they have the firmware for your phone (which you didn't tell us the model, so no clue): http://www.thlmobilestore.com/news/
If so, you should be able to use the FlashTool to rewrite the firmware back to your device. There are instructions for that on the site too. Good luck.
So I got this phone that completely stopped working as soon as you unlock it. It just gives “has stopped” messages endlessly. (example video below)
What I already tried:
Factory reset while in the settings of the phone itself
Wipe Data / Cache in fastboot mode
Tried to connect the phone on the PC and reset it threw the command line
Nothing works, it does say it has wiped the phone while in fastboot mode but when you start the phone I come back in exactly the same screen with all the data intact.
Any advice?

Nobody has a idea on what to try ?
No recovery mode you can try from, or any way to reflash the firmware?
Hi,
I got the message today on the phone that it could not install updates because the storage is full. Then the battery died and now it won't boot up anymore even though it is fully charged.
It is stuck at the boot screen. I can only get into recovery mode that gives me a limited number of options (like 'appy update from adb' or 'wipe data' factory reset')
It is a Wiko model Ridge 4G with Android 5
How can I make it work again without deleting all my data ie a factory reset?

I'm afraid you can't get out of bootloop without factory reset.
If your device has a TWRP, you can install that and boot from it. From there, you can copy your important data to your computer and then perform a factory reset.
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 !!
