Now when the phone boots up it just goes to the bootloader screen...is there a way to fix this?
Reflash your rom, it'll just add the missing files. All your settings and Apps will still be the same.
So I am in a very rough predicament:
The first problem is that I am unable to boot my phone. I can get into recovery and reflash a rom/factory reset, but when I reboot the system it gets past the google screen then goes blank. If I try to restore a nandroid backup it will also go black after a few seconds.
I would normally just revert to stock and get a replacement but here is problem 2: the micro usb connector stopped working a few weeks ago. I have to have a separate battery and charger in order to use my phone.
I would love some advice, on some possible solutions on how to boot up or to revert to stock without ADB.
Thanks for all the help!
Hey guys,
ARRRGHHH I'm such an idiot .. in my haste to jump back from tbalden's CM10 (4.1) mod back towards stock (as it was pretty unusable on my phone, performance issues and what not), I think I've messed my phone up.
So, my phone's now stuck in an endless loop, I've got Clockworkmod recovery v5.8.3.1 still working and I need to get back to an old version (or stock) version of my phone. I have a feeling all my problems started when I tried to go back to my earliest nandroid backup but didn't have the boot.img for it. And then trying to flash a ROM without turning on USB debugging.
Essentially, I've tried to restore from a previous backup, but I get stuck in an endless boot cycle when I leave CMR. I tried doing the erase cache but everytime I try inside recovery/fastboot, I end up with a <waiting for device> message in CMD. I can only imagine that this is because USB debugging wasn't turned on before I went through the backup. So now, i'm left without a boot, a nandroid backup that'll work, and can't use fastboot (because of the usb debugging?) Any ideas? Anyone? I'm left without a phone because of my stupidity and it just keeps rebooting over and over.
Note that I still have 3 nightly builds on my SD card but I can't flash the related boot.img because USB debugging is turned off.
Help!
EDIT: False alarm, on the umpteenth try .. one of the backups worked .. phew ..
Hello!
I purchased the tablet (SM-P600 WiFi model) a few months back. I rooted when I bought and it was working without any problems, but today I tried to install this "boot animation", and it put my device into a soft brick. When I try to boot the device, first the initial Samsung logo shows up, then it's just blank screen without any sound and after a while (by the time device would normall boot), it justs restarts again and repeats the same thing again. I am able to access recovery (TWRP, installed it and made first backup 2 days ago) and download mode as well.
I've tried to recover backup I made 2 days ago (fully working) but it doesn't fix anything. The bootloop continues.
To clarify some things, I'm running on 4.3 (MJ6) stock, flashed SELinux Permissive kernel yesterday, but it was working fine until now.
This is the actual boot "animation": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livelogcat
I installed, and after trying to reboot, the bootloop problems started
I hope you can help me Thank you in advance.
After some fiddling around, finally downloading stock firmware (slow wifi here) from sammobile.com and flashing it with ODIN, I've recovered from the bootloop. I am still interested though in why it happened in the first place. Can anyone please provide me with some insight ?
Thank you anyway
After trying to restore backup from 2 days ago (which was working perfectly fine), there again is no boot animation after initial boot logo, no sound, but if I press power key and any of the capacitive touch buttons, home key, etc., the tablet vibrates but nothing appears on the screen. It's getting kind of weird.
EDIT:
I just tried flashing stock firmware again, and after only restoring /data/, things like home button, capacitive buttons, Settings button in Quick Settings/Notification etc. don't work. Can anyone help me with restoring the data I had from that working backup?
Titanium Backup can extract apps and data from TWRP/CWM backups. It's kind of a slow process, but it works.

I actually tried that, I have PRO version of Titanium Backup, but it only found a SINGLE app from the whole working backup (About 7GB). I also tried Nandroid Backup Explorer which only found one app (with data) as well, most of the others (some were even totally missing) had no data at all. After manually examining the backup, there actually was only 1 app data folder in /data/data/. No WiFI settings or anything else either.
So I have the tablet restored with most of the apps. But every single one of them (except one that doesn't even hold any permanent data that I know of) has lost their data. I have since flashed CWM because it always worked for me.
At least you're up and running again. I tried this logcat app (over a year ago) on my N10 and my N7, both got a bootloop as well.

I have a LG G3 with rooted stock rom running xposed.
So I pulled my phone out of my pocket today only to see the Verizon boot logo in effect. I was thinking "that's weird, guess my phone needed to reboot? Strange." But the only problem is it never stopped. It will only boot up to the lock screen and occasionally it will display an error message telling me the systemui has stopped. Then about 10 seconds later, it reboots itself. It continues this process until I pull the battery.
I've tried booting into safe mode, no luck. It doesn't even actually boot into safe mode (it doesn't say safe mode in the bottom left corner.)
I tried wiping the cache, no luck.
I don't want to just do a factory reset because that hasn't seemed to help anyone else with this issue as far as I've seen. I have not found any helpful information on how to fix this problem.
My question is, what do I do? I feel lost on this subject. Normally I've always been able to diagnose problems on my own, but not in this situation.
I have all my apps and data backed up to Titanium Backup on my SD card.
Any suggestions?
Xposed is more than likely the cause. Boot into TWRP and open a terminal, then type the commands as shown in the OP of this thread to bypass it...
