You can access safe mode that means an app is causing this.
I would Guess It would be facebook.
Now Boot to TWRP and Delete /data/data/com.facebook.katana and /data/app/com.facebook.katana.
Reboot your device.
If that don't work for you Try Using MTP.
If you don't wanna do that.Take an SDCard Insert in the phone.Boot to recovery.
Move the files manually.
Painful but good.
If not A SdCard Slot is present then Try an OTG.
After recovering your data.Do a Full Restore and do a Nandroid Backup.
You are Using Custom ROM!!!!!!!
You are supposed to be taking More Precautions and being less Dumb than other Users.

You have To install a Custom Recovery In order to go further.
Install a Custom Recovery Like TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project.
A custom Recovery is similar to Normal recovery that comes with Stock Android Recovery known as Stock Recovery.The question Might arise that why Custom Recovery but first We Must Come To know That What a Recovery do and How does it become "Custom".
Android recovery is a Program embedded in a part of android storage that helps us to recover restore backup or Flash System Packages.
A Stock Recovery would only flash OTA updates that are signed by the system only.More the stock recovery Would Not be able to do Some functions A Power user requires.
Now the answer to the previous Question That " Why Custom recovery" It's because a stock Recovery can't move files and Make backups called Nandroid backupup.
Now a Nandroid backup is a Backup a Tester or a Power User would Usd to save His A.S.S in Times he Would do something that causes something like you have encountered.
Now A custom recovery Can only be Installed via Flashing From A PC using Odin.
Find the Custom Recovery For Your Device Named TWRP.
Choose very carefully this could destroy Your device PERMANENTLY
After finding Your Device specific TWRP recovery once again make clear it is Good for your device.
Check The Whole File name.
It should have A Name Like "Revovery.tar.md5" remember it should have an "tar.md5 or similar" ending if it don't have that format find again a different Version or use a different web to download it Now Flash It Via Odin.How?There are loads of Videos on Youtube Find "How To Flash TWRP via Odin On Any Device"
After getting A TWRP recovery on your device It's time for you to "Boot to TWRP" Here boot means Directly going to a specific Programes like Bootloaders Recovery Download Mode ETC.
Find or Borrow a Card from a Friend or Someone.this would not take long.
It would only take half an Hour.
Now Boot to TWRP.
After booting to TWRP.
There would be many Options.This page is Called TWRP HOME page.
Click on Advanced.
It would open other option.
Click on File manger.
Now There would be a File Manager Simmilar to Root Explorer.
This is Time We Recover your Data.
Find Sdcard from the list click on It.
Then you would See your internal Memory.
Now Go to the folder where you kept your Images or anything
After arriving to that folder click on the floating little folder icon On the Bottom Right of the screen with a Tick Mark on It.
After clicking on it
It would Open A Series of options.
Click on copy or move.
After clicking go back to The Root Directory(The First Screen you got after clicking on File manager is called root directory)
There you should Find a List of folders.click on Storage Then extSDCard.
Now again Click on the floating Folder icon with a TiCk Mark.
It would again Open the Same Screen as Before Select paste.
Now you have just moved a Folder of your data from internal memory to extSdCard.
Go back To the root directory and Repeat Step 1 to End to recover 1 folder per Try.
After recovering all data.
Remove your sdcard Transfr data to pc.
Go to TWRP home.
Select Wipe.
Click on advanced Wipe.
Tick Cache.
Tick Art Dalvik.
Confirm your action.
Reboot The phone.
If it does not Solve the stuck at screen Problem then Go to TWRP home Select Wipe and Factory Reset It.
It should Boot now.
There is one question Left.
What is MTP.
It is Called Media Transfer Protocol.
It is used to transfer files from PC to device or vice versa.
Have a Good day and ask me For help If you get Some more questions or are stuck.

*Sigh*
I’m a newbie (more like retard) when it comes to this whole update android, leaked Rom’s, recovery, root etc. Can someone please help me get some clarity?
1. Will there be a problem if I try to install the official 2.1 update when I have a rooted phone and Villain 3.4? (No stock 1.5 ROM available via nandroid since I didn’t know what I was doing at the time I first updated it).
2. What is the simplest way to change one's recovery ROM? Do I have to use this whole adb/fastboot (whatever that means) and mess around with things I don’t understand and probably brick my damn Hero, or is there a simple way á la download-copy to SD-click install? The things written in hXXp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 makes me nauseous!
3. What do the terms "Dalvik-cache" and "SD:ext partition" mean, and why would i want to wipe them? (Found them in the wipe-section of my recovery ROM: RA-hero-v1.5.2). Am I supposed to wipe these as well to do what “nprussel” (hXXp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622468) calls a “full wipe” or is a reset to factory enough?
4. When using nandroid, what is the difference between "nand backup", "nand + ext backup" and "BART backup"?
5. What do you gain from partitioning your SD-card?
To those of you who care to answer my questions – thank you!

From one noob to another, I'll *try* to answer what i can.
1,... Having a custom ROM will not stop you from being able to get 2.1 when it is officially released. I'm sure everything you need will be posted somewhere for easy access. But if you want to download from HTC's website you may need to flash one of the stock ROMS first. You can find all of them at http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
I reckon using one of the HTC generic ones would be your best bet.
2,... This is the method I used:
I. Installing a recovery image:
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications - and make sure "Unknown Source" is ticked.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > SD card and phone storage - click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card.
4. Plug the phone into the computer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
hxxp://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec - FlashRec.apk
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 - Amon_Ra’s Hero Recovery Image
6. Copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Go to the Market and download ASTRO File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.
10. When it is installed click Open. Click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish. If you get "backup failed" response see the "Ib. Installing the correct HTC ROM" section for more details, if the backup is a success carry on.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(replace exact name as new versions come out)
Then click on the Flash Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.
... Big props to BTDAG for those instructions. (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 -- [Guide] How to Root & Install a Custom Rom on Orange UK & T-Mobile UK [Updated 13/03])
3,... I think a full wipe would be select Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then select Wipe Dalvik cache, then Wipe SD. This is an assumption as they were the steps I followed. (Again, from BTDAG's thread)
4,... Sorry, ain't got a scooby. No Idea.
5,... I think it does something like setting aside a specific amount of room for system files. Some ROMs need partitioned SD cards for the Apps2SD function to work.
I hope some of that helps,... Peace.
Nandroid backs up your phones image (i.e. like a photo of how your phone is on that day)
Nandroid + ext also backs up your ext partition on your sd card (only used if you want to activate and use apps2sd)
Bart is another backup utility, not sure what exactly it does as I have only ever wanted to/needed to use nandroid.
You only need to partition your sd card if you wish to use Apps2SD.
- basically what this does is give you the ability to save and run apps from your sd card as your phone has a limit on how many apps it can have (in file size not number of apps) so if your someone with hundreds of apps then you need to use this but the majority of us don't need to worry about it.
If you root now and want to remain rooted then don't install the official 2.1 it won't take long for a pre-rooted version to come out (a matter of hours) so just wait and install the pre-rooted one
ddotpatel, Lennyuk - Thank you! Your help is greatly appreciated!
I was in Clockwork Recovery after backing up my stock system (this is my first time) it gave me the options in green text: Reboot, reinstall update.zip, etc.
I chose reboot and everything loaded up fine and after checking in Rom Manager I have a backup of my system. I just want to know if that was the right choice. or should I have reinstalled update.zip
I guess my question revolves around update.zip.
What is that file? I know I originally used it to gain root access but do I need to reinstall it from clockwork recovery everytime before rebooting? and when should I delete it? and are there any negative consequences for not doing either?
As you can tell I'm a noob....but hey I can't believe I'm rooted and backed up at the moment. I'm gonna stop here before flashing any custonm roms and get this question answered first.
I think you are fine. I would not worry so much, i have deleted the update.zip, but since you booted up into ClockWork Recovery you are most likely fine.
I am booted back up completely and the stock os is running and I'm still rooted. I just want to know what that option inside of clockwork recovery means. What is the reason to reinstall update.zip from clockwork recovery and what is the reason to reboot? And once I'm booted back up and running when/why do I go into my files and delete update.zip?
It's not that I'm worried...I just want to know why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I would keep the file. Less chance of failure.
You are only going to use cwr for this:
Backup/restore system
Wipe cache, factory wipe, etc
Flashing rom's (install from sd card)
Don't worry about the other stuff.
I'm confused by the op, not sure how you made a backup from how it reads.
I think I made the backup by flashing into clockwork recovery from rom manager. It started with the purple text recovery mode and I hit reinstall packets. Then it went into the green text clockwork recovery....I think. I've only done it once.
So in clockwork recovery I choose the backup/restore option and then the backup option. So then the phone I assume began the backup process and displayed many lines of white text. At the very end it said something about not being able to mount my ext sd card (which) had me worried.....but then it brought up the menu again. The top option was reboot, the second was reinstall update.zip and I didn't pay attention to the rest because I was pretty sure I needed one of the first two....I just didn't know which one. I selected reboot and the phone then booted into the stock os and was still rooted. Is the fact that it wasn't able to mount my ext sd card at the end of the backup process an issue? I'm able to find a backup in rom manager. Also, if the backup process works correctly should the phone reboot by itself?
What I'm asking is what am I booting from when I choose "reboot" from clockwork recovery and what does it mean to choose "reinstall (packet?) update.zip"? I thought update.zip was what I needed to root.
This last step wasn't in your tutorial (purple text menu) so maybe something didn't go as it should have.
I'm not sure.
Thanks s15274n for the tutorial btw. Its by far the most helpful concise instructions I've found and is really appreciated.

The update.zip in the root of the internal SD card is clockwork recovery (CR). When you install CR it does not overwrite your phone's recovery. What it does is install that update.zip in the root of the SD card. When you want to use CR, you need to "update packages" which will flash that update.zip which contains the CR package. That will load CR into memory only and still does not overwrite the original recovery on the phone. When you reboot into recovery from ROM Manager, it automatically reboots and applies the update.zip and places you into CR. If you enter recovery manually (via buttons on boot), you will need to "re-install packages" from the stock recovery to get CR.
So if you want to use CR, keep that update.zip in the root of the SD card. If you erase it, you will need to re-install it (using ROM Manager) before you can use CR instead of the stock recovery. I hope that makes sense. If not, here is the explanation straight from Koush on how it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164&highlight=clockwork
^^ You are all good then.
The SD-EXT is not going to backup, because you do not have a partiotion on your external SD card (no need for one, like some other phones require). This is normal from what you described.
You will never use the apply update.zip option in CWR... just dont pay any mind to it.
When you select reboot system now, that is all it is.... you are basically saying "Cool, I did everything I needed to do (backup/flash a rom/wipe, etc)... and now I am ready to reboot my phone... ie, you are basically cutting your phone on.
Positive you did, but you can open rom manager, click on manage backups and you should see a file there that has a format kinda like YYYYMMDDTIME, that is the backup you made... no action needed, just an easy way to verify you made a backup of your system.

Also wanted to say i feel the same way. Appreciate the guide so much!
Thanks guys. I'm glad to have that cleared up so I understand it. Gives me more confidence to do the other things I want to do.
I got confused with the fact that I need to delete the update.zip file after rooting and the fact thats its there again after flashing cw and backing up.
Sometimes I need things spelled out for me. Makes complete sense now.

Hey everyone .
I have a problem here ...
My little sister was trying to unlock my s2 and tried too many times.
Thing is that the Google account i used on the device is very old and I have no clue what is the username.
I was thinking if maybe there was a third party app or software (PC) to use in order to access my data from the PC without having to unlock the phone so that I can back up my data from the internal storage and wipe my phone to use it again.
I have documents I really need on the phone . Please help !

How on earth can you have a google account assigned to a active device but not remember the email address of it?
I cant really see how that could happen, especially on a active device that has important files on. Also why didnt you simply store the files on external or make backup copies manually or automatically?
If the files you need are in custom folders on internal card (you created the folders yourself) then you don't need to worry. Simply reboot into recovery mode and use the wipe data/factory reset option.
WARNING: Do not do above if the device is currently on Samsung Android 4.0.4/kernel.
If you have a custom kernel installed you can simply reboot into recovery and use the mass storage option to mount cards to PC. You may be able to do this in stock kernel aswell, not sure as haven't ever really used stock recovery. Alternatively you could put a signed cwm zip on your external (via a card reader) and then flash it via stock recovery to get CWM recovery temp so you can mount drives or wipe data/factory reset.

Yes I know that was very stupid of me . Thing is my main phone is an htc sensation xe which I use more often.
The files aren't supposed to be on custom folders since I never created any folders on it .
I'm using the stock kernel by the way . I guess I'm really screwed .
My galaxy S2 (gt-i9100) was running cm13 for about half a year. Some days ago I let google play update my apps. The result is a bootloop.
I've used the voice recorder to record a lot of notes I need to remember. Is there any way to get those files out from the phones internal storage?
The CWM recovery installed lacks the option to wipe cache / dalvik, which I would hope could get the device out of the bootloop.
When booted into recovery, I've tried adb, but the device is unauthorized.
I think usb debuging was disabled, however, I'm not sure about that.
The ideas I have to solve this are:
1) flash some other recovery that will give an option to wipe cache/dalvik and be able to boot cm13
2) flash some other recovery that will make adb able to pull the files while in recovery mode
3) flash some recovery that is able to copy files from internal storage to sd card
4) factory reset, and hope the files don't get deleted (this is the very last resort)
The thing is that it seems like I'll need to do all installations from SD card via the current CWM recovery. Does anyone know of a suitabel download / howto that can help me get my files off the phone?
If reason for boot loop is Xplore file explorer latest update , uninstall it with developer advices:
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/wiki/xplore/crash_on_cm
I did factory reset twice because of app.
Thank you, Kepsilla. Unless that is an app that is installed with cm13 or gapps, I don't have it installed. But your link gave me hope:
If you have custom recovery on your device (such as TWRP), enter recovery mode, open file manager and delete folder /data/app/com.lonelycatgames.Xplore-1

That means that if I can install TWRP recovery from CWM recovery, I should be able to access the filesystem. That should open up to two possible solutions:
a) Copy my files from internal storage to SD
b) Delete / modify some files to take all apps I've installed from play store will not start automatically.
Does anyone know of a TWRP that would give any of these possibilities and install on a i9100 using CWM?
(I can't really experiment iwht this - I feel the risk of loosing the files is too high. I have to know I'm going the right direction when I do something.)
Solution was very simple: By holding volume down pressed during boot, the device boots into safe mode - no apps started. Then I could just uninstall the apps that were set to autostart. Reboot and problem was solved.
I came across this way to enter safe mode when googling a error message that started to pop up frequently on my S5 mini. S2 with cm13 appears to have the same way to enter safe mode as S5 mini with factory rom.
Since there isn't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Oreo took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root. No other personal app added

Hi, I have a T380, I thought about installing this, but before I do, will this work on the t380? Because you have T380T, and I have T380. And if I want, can I put some of the stock apps back on?
Indeed it works on a T380

I just installed it on my T380.. Be sure to follow the directions entirely. And remember to reboot TWRP after putting the sdcard with the backup files back in or else it may not read it (mine would not).

followed the directions but device wont read the backup file. would you mind posting all the steps you took to do the backup.
I had the same issue, so when the proper backup files are in place on the ext sdcard and reinserted into the device, but the device won't read it -- for me, I had to reboot the device into recovery and THEN it would read it.

always change apk extension with .APKbak
so if you got into mess you can rename the APKbak into .APK
if i got android 9 can i do this it?
Is file support with t385??
I want to personally thank you for this TWRP image! I completely hosed my sm-T380 that I just got as a backup tablet while trying to root it.
This did the trick Thank you again!!!
I did this using internal memory and all ok. thanks.
I need to say THANK YOU BRO!!!! You just saved my ass!!
But can't tell how much a custom ROM is needed for this device.
Only things to do, is to remove all the bloat left whit the link you provide above and that's it.
Once again, 3 thumbs up! (don't ask me where I found the third one lolll)
it's a great work .I want download it, but I can't download google file directly(site blockked), I have to through VPN.So the speed is not quick enough for me,I can't complete the downloading within an hour when google vary the token.The download work can't continue and must restart from the beginning.
If you have time,would you please split it into several parts,each size blow 300M?Thanks a lot,this file I think useful and can give me big help and save me time.
