can't mount data?, from stock recovery or CWM?
are you using a permanent CWM from merruk o a temporary CWM recovery?

Nope just clear your data if you flashing odin. So always prepare backup. Titaniumbackup more recomended than backup via meruk cwm recovery.

MAke sure you have installed kies or samsung usb drivers. And the process of kies by entering task manager in your pc or (ctrl+alt+del) and go to processes and find all the named Kies and end process. make sure also that you have closed or disabled firewall or antivirus . Coz it may cause to fail red color that happened to me

Thanks guys, worked!
The first time i got a boot loop, after i wiped data and cache, and flashed odin again

No prob .

yesterday i was in the franco kernel updater app and i saw a new nightly to i wanted to flash it but by mistake i looks like flashed milstone version so the device got root access to restart the device and flash the kernel
but the device rebooted to stuck at Google logo for 15min so i pulled out the battery re-insert it and press the power button and nothing happens still stuck at Google logo with no boot loop or restarting it self
i can get to CWM and fastboot but when i start the device its stuck at that :crying:
my phone is on that way since yesterday and i cant leave it like this for longer time since iam travailing nor can i wipe every thing on it and get a fresh start cuz i do have important things on the sdcard

Try restoring from nand backup or reinstall the ROM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

As nexxusdev is implying, just flash your ROM again.

its stock JB rom flashed it over with galaxy nexus toolkit and downloaded the rom from google's site so its not a zip flashable
thanks all for replys and sorry for thw wrong section

im not sure but i remember on my g2x you could hook up phone from recovery mode and mount it on the computer with sd card .. have you looked around in CWM? This is your fault to be honest you deserve this for not making a NAND back up. ALWAys MAKE A BACK UP! period. There is a reason why devs and everyone else stress' it so much.

Sert00 is right. Flash any [previously] working ROM on it. It will be a dirty flash and some stuff won't work, but you'll be able to backup your data. You'll reflash again later

Unfortunately, at least with these beta realeases of JB, usb mount via recovery almost never work.
Try what sert00 told you.

xperia arc boot loop Reflash Stock ROM or your backup.

HI,
Thank you..
I'm sorry I'm still new about these things
I just can't flash it because my back-up is .img file..
And I don't know how to flash .img files..
Thank you again..
I've tried downgrading the kernel into .431 firmware (which is compatible to the theme that I tried)
but still, boot looping..
please help

What I did is that..
1. tried to flash a theme for .431 firmware
2. boot it using CWM v5
3. then, after rebooting the device, boot loop happens
I can't enter CWM on the sony logo (or I am pressing the wrong button)
now I can't flash back to my nandroid back up.. :'(
please help ..

download flashtool, install it under a Windows pc download stock FTF file and flash it into your phone

And get a stock image here: http://uploaded.net/f/bd4cif

Hi thank you..
I just did the flashing
But still, boot loops ..
I really don't know the problem :'(
Here is what I did to install that theme..
● Copy the .zip to your sdcard
● Boot into CMW
● MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
● Did you make a nandroid backup?
● If not, go away from this thread immediately!
● Flash the .zip
● Clear Dalvik Cache
● Reboot
● For wallpaper, Xperia S lockscreen, deodex/supercharge/LED fix check post #3.
● Enjoy!!!
i really don't know if that clearing that Dalvik Cache caused the problem..
I really don't know
pls help ..

Did you even read the previous posts? These say everything how to fix your phone.
And if you got bootloop, doing it the same way will not make it any better, it will just result the same - bootloop!

How can your nandroid backup be a .IMG file?
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium

I print screen how I did the flashing
(and I think I'm doing it wrong)
Flashtool only tells that a device is connected but never stated what model is connected..
After flashing, still ..

dont use CWM v5. reflash to stock firmware, download 'x-parts' from play, and istall cwm with that app and see what happens

Hi (my first post at xda!),
I once had a nasty BootLoop like you have. actually, even worse - at some stage, the phone didn't start at all - AND usb wasn't responding... worst case scenario lol.
Be advised, this will bring you to clean stock unrooted phone.
- What you need to do, is restore the original rom+kernel (stock), using SEUS ("Sony Ericsson Update Service") software (download it).
- You'll need to connect the phone with a special recovery mode enabled, by plugging the usb cable to it while holding The Other Button (Back button) that gives A GREEN led light (this is NOT Fastboot mode that shows BLUE led light).
- After the phone is connected in that manner, simply follow the instructions in SEUS and let it download and flash the original software.
From here, you'll have a factory-new unrooted stock rom+stock kernel device, but you'll probably manage with re-flashing and restoring your Nandroid afterwards.
- Use this as a last resort, as it's what they call "The long way".
Get back to us with the results.
Mike.

It's not a special recovery mode it's the standard flash mode, but this is basically what you've been advised to do on the last page.

[Q] Can't Install Omega Rom v23 Stuck At Samsung Logo, Tried all ways (i think)

Hello, I am on a n7100.
I firstly flashed my stock rom 4.1.2 from odin.
My phone works well with stock.
I have downloaded the omega rom v23 from here.
I firstly installed MJ5 Bootloader via Odin 3.9.
Then Flashed "TWRP recovery" via Odin 3.9 again.
I had already put omega rom zip to my external sd card.
So I have wiped all the ways i could ever do from twrp wipe section. (All except external data storage)
Then selected install zip, Omega logo appeared awesome.
I press next, Omega Rom Installation, Full wipe, Install Omega Rom, Default Installation, Next, Install!
It installs everything correctly.
Then, Reboot Device is already ticked, I press End.
Twrp says rebooting...
And Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100 logo comes.
And never goes off. Boot stuck.
Please help me i dont know where i am failing at. I made way too much research, tried way too many install orders, please show me the true way...

I think you should try flashing another ROM and see how it goes.. Mine already got stuck at boot because of multiple causes... In my case it was mostly kernel issues... But I dont think that applies for you....

I had alliance rom v5.2 installed 5 days ago. It has 4.3 interface and note 3 apps aswell. But Omega Rom, I cant install. Now i got 4.3 stock rom. My bootloader updated with knox. Warranty is also 1 but still omega rom causes same issue. The thing i wonder is, If i install stock rom with odin, does it also reinstall the original bootloader?
Also, after getting newer stock rom, i cannot flash the mj5 bootloader anymore. It says it is outdated. I guess i have MK9 from now on. And cant go to MJ5. I dont even have no idea anout how to compare them. I am a noob rom flasher. But I am not a noob googler. Even so, I cannot find definite knowledge about MJ5 bootloader

Usually when you flash trough Odin you get the bootloader that comes with the ROM... But perhaps they added some aditional verification or something like that to make sure you don't revert the bootloader to the old one (without knox)... Even then I don't understand why some ROMs work and others don't... Acording to Omega thread you did everything right... Have you ever used Mobile Odin instead of Odin?

No, I have never tried Moblie Odin.
Edit: I am back on Alliance Rom, i won't probably check here later on, u do not have to reply anymore.

[Q] N7105 in boot loop

I have a Samsung galaxy note 2 LTE n7105 in a boot loop, i was trying to flash ''http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761937'' but under the installation a made the mistake of wiping everything on the device including the rom that was saved on the internal phone memory, i also had a 4.4 bootloader and Philz CWM touch recovery..
so when i put the device in download mode it does it fine and odin finds it, but it wont go in recovery, it just shows the bottom touch keys of the recovery then goes into a boot loop again, i would like to flash it to stock again without unrooting it if possible but i need to know whats wrong here?

Recovery must work fine since you didn't messed it up. Try again and try to flash rom from sd card. If not, flashing stock rom using odin is the next best option (will remove root though). Goodluck.

Fixed

Fixed the problem, just flashed stock 4.4.2 rom with odin and it was in fully working order, then i flashed CWM Touch with odin then installed the the rom i wanted in the first place, jumped over deleting everything, and now it works great ^^
