Phone wont power on after wipe

I wiped my phone using calkukin format all and i pressed reboot and it wont turn on it just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids on the bottom every time i tell it to reboot

Format all wipes everything. There is nothing to boot into after that. You need to power off the phone, turn it back on while holding down the volume down key to get into hboot. Then go to recovery, mount the phone to the comp, put a ROM on your sd card, unmount and flash it.
It wipes system and boot as well as data, it's only meant for in between ROMs.

what does that mean that i cant turn on my phone????

Why did u turn it off?

You'll have to reflash or restore your backup if you have one. You completely wiped so, as said, it has nothing to boot into.
You can pull battery and get back to recovery, can you not?

Edited with more helpful info. Sorry, XDA was going all crazy on me.

Yes i can but i dont think i made a backup. im sorry im very new to this and I thought that it simply wiped the phone and took it to factory setting I was trying to switch from a ROM

It means you completely wiped your phone.. In other words no rom to boot up.. Do you have a nandroid? if so just restore from there.. Other wise you will have to flash a new rom

If you have a ROM to flash on your SD Card, follow my instructions to get to recovery and flash it. If not follow my instructions to get a ROM on there and flash it. FYI, ALWAYS make a nand backup before flashing something, that you way you can always get back on track easily.
Let me know if you need more specific instructions.

Yeah, it's alright, a learning experience. But you'll have to reflash the ROM if you don't have a backup ... you still have the ROM on your card right?
edit: do as stated above
PRO TIP (worth a repeat); always have a backup handy in case something ever goes wrong, be it a user error or bad flash.

ok i flashed a new ROM now it i wanted to get back to factory settings is that possible and how do I do a nandroid backup

What do you mean factory settings? Are you trying to unroot or just run a stock rooted ROM?

oh im so sorry for not being more specific. yes i want to run a stock rooted ROM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
That's the stock rooted ROM, but if it were me, I would run Sprint Lovers over that.
Just go back to recovery, flash the format all and then the ROM. But I would do a nand backup first.

it sounds like a bad download...when aokp is installing in recovery it should take anywhere from 15 to 20 sec same with gapps. i would redownload off the computer and stick it on the root of your sdcard... hopefully u had a backup. also what recovery are u using??? I recommend twrp it is very user friendly and also mounts ext sdcard. some of the recovery for this phone is finnicky.... twrp gives me no problems

Dude u dont need to go back to el29 to change roms just use the recovery include in Blazer, did u tried to press Power + Volume Up and boot to recovery them wipe system + system cache + advance then Calvin cache then chose the rom in ur sdcard or whatever u put it and flash it. At least thats how I do it, also make sure u find more info on flashing u could brick ur phone.

Try these steps:
1) Reboot into recovery.
2) Install the PA ROM. No wipes necessary here.
3) Reboot into recovery from the Reboot menu. Do NOT reboot the system.
4) You should be in CWM6. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.
5) Restore your backup.
6) Reboot the system.
Let us know if that doesn't work. Good luck!

[Q] Why can't I get my files I deleted from system/App back?

When I delete files from system/App after rooting, why don't they come back after I wipe data and cache and flash stock rooted rom found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743923)?
It even didn't work when I went into settings and did a hard reset
The only way I got them back was to do what is listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099) and start all over from a non rooted state
Any idea why?
Thanks

Did you format system too?
Hard reset or factory reset just will wipe data. If the system files was removed those won't be restored.
Just most be sure of format system.
In CWM is in advance and in TWRP is in Wipe. The second option in the right.

Only way would be if freeza's rom didnt have them. which it would. What file did u flash from his page? Are you sure you didnt download just the firmware? His file wouldve been around the same size as mine. 700-800mb. Unless you were flashing his deodexed version. mine is odexed which without a system wipe may have caused them to not show

oh ok, i dont even see that option in CWM. I have run out of thanks fot today and will get you guys back tomorrow
Quick question
I have the rooted STOCK ROM and I edited some system files. Should I revert back to a nandroid back up with the system files in tact, or should I be ok to flash the new official rooted JB ROM with some system files missing and/or renamed? thanks

If so you can reboot back into recovery by long pressing the power button + volume up and home button and then restore your backup

I don't use CWM, I use TWRP, but if there isn't an option to restore from that menu, then you probably don't have a backup.
You sure you're using the right version of the kernel? and you wiped cache and dalvik after flashing the new rom?

I haven't used the redpill kernel, I'm actually an lte version, but check if there are Samsung and Aosp based versions of the kernel. And if so are you using the right one.

Download the aosp redpill. Push it to phone via adb. Then flash it and do a factory reset.

Redpill kernel isn't yet compatible with newer cm based roms because it doesn't have Mali r3p1 driver support yet.
