Clockwork wont boot into recovery.

I flashed the latest version, nothing. Just gets stuck at the white htcinc screen.

Look in the android development forum for "the ultimate back to stock thread". download the "PB31IMGxxxxx" file there, rename it to just PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. Go into the bootloader and let it run the update. This will bring you back to a 2.2 stock. From there you can re-root and do whatever else you like. Just be careful with what you flash, just cause there is an update, doesn't mean you need to flash. I know it's hard but I learned that the hard way lol.

How do you manually get into recovery? I've only done it from rom manager. Im running evervolvs gingerbread 1.0.1b3 if that might be affecting cwr

So my whole problem is getting into the bootloader. I just need to flash a rom with working GPS =/. Anyone?

Edit: Weird, i just checked cwr version and it wasn't 3.0.whatever. all good now. =)

to manually get into recovery turn phone off hold volume down and power....

[Q] Phone loops in Samsung Logo, will not go into recovery!

My phone kept looping on the loading screen, so i pulled the battery and got in CWM. When i did a data wide so i can restore from a saved file the phone got stuck on wiping.
So i pulled the battery and the phone kept on looping the samsung logo and would not go back to CWM, got inside ODIN and tried the stock one click EL29 ODIN method, everything flashes but gets stuck on data.bin. i re-start the process to only be stuck in the same data.bin step. the ODIN one click pro does not stop responding it just gets stuck.
I tried the ODIN method where i load the stock none rooted tar file in pda mode, this method completely passes but when it restarts it goes back to loop mode.
I tried getting into recovery mode but it loops also (Holding Volume up and power)
I am currently trying a different ODIN oneclick TAR file, maybe this will work, i will update when it finishes.
I do not know what to do next, i have flashed all individual files in ODIN also.

And you were using a ics kernel with cwm huh ?

I did search all over xda and androidcentral, i was in ics 4.0.4. Thanks for the links i left the phone flashing, when i get home i will read those threads. If it all fails ill just go to sprint tech bench and get a refurbish replament.

You were on a ics ROM ?
Used a ics kernel to wipe data ?
Were using ROM manager?
Using touch cwm ?
Didn't read OP for the ROM either ?
Almost all ics roms will tell you not to use a ics kernel with cwm that is the cause of the bricks ...
If you can answer yes to any of the above you didn't read enough... There are a dozen threads about bricking phones on here that would have saved your phone....good luck at sprint getting it replaced

i had CWM, i was running ics 4.0.4 fine build 30 since it came out. It just started the stupid animation loop and thats when i decided to do a data wipe in CWM. but then i did the ODIN One Click and it gets stuck on data.bin.
I work for Sprint....
This is my first time ever posting on any forums and i have been flashing since the EVO came out, i have flashed ICS to the EVO 4G and back to GB with no issues, this phone is the first to give me such issues.

Samsung screwed us by changing some partitions and until we get source to know what they did its best to follow the OP to a T because no one has bricked when using a GB kernel to wipe or flash ....just the ics ones
Yes I had og evo nexus s and 3d ....this one sucks to have to flash the way we do but its the better phone so you do what you have to

You could have not said it any better lol, i on purpose broke my photon 4g and one of the replacements on the list was the E4GT and got that one sent to me lol, such an amazing phone but issues like this kill me. i did that rouge in odin and it just loops on the android with the box but does not do anything else.
Ill keep trying different things, custom count is at 3 maybe by the time i give up it might be in the 100's because i wont get a replacement till tuesday...

The no data tar will completely flash but won't boot on it but you can put it back to stock like that with sfhub el29 no data
Some one in the data thread I gave u did remap the data partition to his Sd card and rigged it .... That could work until you get replaced

Just odin the el26+cwm kernel and reboot into recovery and wipe and flash like normal. I had the bootloop before snd this worked for me.

Edit: just read your whole post and it does sound like your bricked. You can try what I stated above, but I don't think it will work.

This is where your /data partition got corrupted. The data wipe in ICS-based CWM.

ODIN OneClick is just serving as the messenger to tell you your /data partition is corrupted. You could have used CWM, ODIN, ODIN OneClick, etc. They would all tell you the same thing. The EMMC memory is actually damaged, it isn't just a partition data problem.
It is unfortunate to have the issue with ICS-based kernels and custom recovery, but that is why all the threads stress using GB-based kernels with custom recovery to do your flashing.
Lesson learned. At least you work for Sprint and can probably get things resolved with less hassle.

Yeah lesson learned. I just did the repair ticket on it and will have one on tuesday.
When the new one comes i will go straight to ICS build 31, and not even mess with anything else.
Its just amazing how we cant figure out a way to format/partition the currupted /data.

It isn't a format issue.
The hardware emmc memory is damaged.
JTAG bitblasting would have overwrote everything if it was fixable. That is failing in this case.
So basically you are asking why we can't reformat a hard drive that crashed and make it work.

You are doing what's right. I had to flash the one click Odin 3 times to get out of a boot loop after trying to restore a GB ROM MD5 from a ICS kernel. Learned the hard way. But if you can get to DL mode, you can usually fix it. After the third time i was able to get into standard Android recovery and do a factory data reset. Then flashed the rom again and it booted right up. I was lucky though. Hope it works out.

PHONE WONT BOOT AFTER USING ALPHA 6 ICS(darchstar)
I was using this rom since it came out and haven't had 1 problem. after just using it normally it froze. did a battery pull and tried to reboot but was stuck on logo with the cm9 animation. so i went to recovery mode i had an error. i tried doing a format and froze. so i did another battery pull and now my phone wont boot into recovery or download mode. all i get is a blue led light. any ideas?

I'd like to think that putting BIGGER red text in the OP's might help but apparently not...

Your /data partition is dead. Formatting/ wiping from ICS recovery is VERY BAD, it makes bricks.... time to use insurance/TEP... sfhubs post on this page applies to you as well...

Need PIT file for this phone (I think)... URGENT REQUEST

All of this to get the stupid Google Wallet working. So pissed off right now.
Anyway tried to reflash my phone I seem to have screwed up the partition I think because it hangs on the Samsung logo. Tried to reboot into stock recovery and it doesn't do it (instead it keeps rebooting).
Trying to reflash the partition info, but for that I think I need a PIT file. Anyone know where I can get that??? I have been Googling the hell out of it and can't find it.

Can you get into download mode?

Yes.... I have flashed the stock ROM 4 to 5 times. It flashes successfully, reboots, and sticks on the Samsung Logo screen. Tried to reboot into recovery, and as long as I am holding the 3 buttons for recovery, it goes into a boot loop (like it tries to go to recovery, it isn't there, and reboots).

For recovery
- Power Down + Home + Power
- Release Power at first sign of SAMSUNG Logo EXCEPT Power Down + Home
- Release Power Down + Down at first blink of Samsung
- Once in recovery, factory reset, format option
- Reboot, wait for 1-2 mins
BOLDED PART = Has to be precise

did you also try clearing the cache? i've had a few hangs on the samsung logo, clearing the cache helped it get through

I feel so stupid. I didn't release power while trying to get into recovery. Although I have another problem now, and the searches online don't look good.
My Baseband and IMEI is showing as "Unknown"... Also the phone is very laggy.
EDIT
On this thread I started out by saying that I think I clicked Re-partition, but I actually think I accidentally clicked Nand Erase All... I can get to download mode and recovery mode, but my phone shows Baseband and IMEI of unknown. Any help?

More information:
When going to stock recovery I see a few instances of:
Failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument).
EDIT -
When booting phone I have no internal memory (16Gig).

that happened to me once when clicking a random box in odin without knowing what it did on my epic touch...thank god i work for sprint and was able to just order my own replacement sounds like you wiped your IMEI, and thats a ***** to inject back in...youll need to the help of a true dev to restore, but your best bet is to hard brick and claim warranty, friend.

Of course this would happen today, where warranty replacement will take 2 days to get to me.
I already installed and ran (barely) Triangle Away, and got the counter reset so I am good there for warranty. I am begging the community for two things.
If someone knows a "true dev" that may be able to help me, I would sincerely ask that you point them to this thread and see what they can do. I will be monitoring this thread VERY CLOSELY until I say otherwise (in this thread).
Can someone point me in a direction to hard brick my phone???

here is the pit and when you go into recovery you have to factory reset or it stays bricked http://db.tt/gKSxQKWJ
go into odin and place the stock rom in pda then place the pit on the top where it says pit and make sure to click repartition.then when done take the battery out boot into recovery then factory reset and it should work.

Does using odin to flash the stock firmware restore baseband? Or flashing a moden? Also did you ever make a backup that included your efs folder? If you did restore that backup:thumbup:

Problem with rooting (Stuck on reboot loop)

I got my incredible 2 almost two years ago, and spent the whole time having it be rooted and messing with different roms completely carefree. I was supposed to get an upgrade soon, but sadly that didn't happen and won't for another few months. Any ways, I returned my phone to stock for the trade in. Since I am stuck with this phone for awhile longer, the default stock is driving me mad with the slow bloatware and etc, so time to root again.
I downgraded to 2.3.3,which was the easy part, and then used revolutionary. It said I was already s off, and asked if I wanted to install a recovery. I said yes. Upon reboot of my phone it turned itself off and rebooted. Again. And again. In an infinite loop. I went back into recovery and wiped cache and installed the su zip from my sd card, flashed another Rom. Nothing. Installing another Rom has it stuck on boot animation. I have to restore stock and start all over.
I'm confused on what I am doing wrong. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

i dont know what to do from here but i am going to take a break before i throw this thing at the wall for real.

Welcome to the LS980 struggle. ZVA and ZVC radios break Loki. You need to downgrade your aboot to get things working. My personal recommendation? If you don't have Spark in your area, tot back to ZV8 to use AOSP. Just read up in the dev section for all the caveats.
