Galaxy Y Animation bootloop help

I followed all the instructions in the stock rooting post of Doky37 (done it 3 x) and my problem is I keep getting a bootloop . I tried wiping the cache, wiping/restoring the factory setting, etc. but I still get the boot loop everytime I turn on the phone.
I took a picture of the screen just before the loop and noticed that it says it cannot mount the data (??) . ANy idea on what I should do?

Do this

make sure u have kies installed before flashing

I followed the instruction and it still bootloops.
Yes I am in stock ROM.

Do you mean I should have KIes running in the background when I Flash using Odin? or just installed but not running?

while it is in boot now,take the battery off..put it on again..recovery mode..wipe data.reboot..

Yes Kies is installed. Odin is working and I can flash the phone but after flashing I get the boot loop.
I am thinking there might be wrong with the internal memory

Found some corruption in S5360_DDLA3_ODDLA2_DDLA2_by_Doky.zip's CSC part. I've removed the full pack, uploading a CSC update, and a repaired full package as well.

There were slight problems with the touch while the battery was charging thats it

I went to the Samsung repair center and brought the phone
they re flashed with a PIT, bootloader, CSC, PDA tar files. it booted up after that but the ginger bread version is now back to 2.3.5 (it used to be 2.3.6}
I an planning to update it back to 2.3.6 and flash with stock ROM LA2.

i'm having the same problem.
I read this thread and wanted to try something. I just added a line at-last ro.com.android.dateformat=dd-MM-yyyy and rebooted.
Then happens the boot loop.
I tried wipe/factory reset. no use
I tried flash with Odin, and it says

Please please help- Soft bricked and nothing works!

Earlier today I tried to update TWRP with this app I was recommended called flashify. I flashed the new TWRP recovery img then rebooted, but it would not get past the screen "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" for 10+ minutes. This is a soft brick, right? I could boot into download mode, but not recovery.
I get home and download the samsung drivers,Odin 3.09 and a few different stock recovery images (..UCMK7, the latest). Get the phone into download mode, plug it in and it shows up blue in Odin- all's good. Choose "AP" then my stock file and it checks the md5.. all's good. Hit start and eventually it fails here:
"<ID:0/010> File analysis..
<ID:0/010> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/010> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
I've tried 2 USB cables, running Odin as admin, 3 different images, and a whole load of any thing for 6 hours and I'm still getting the same error. I started at 2:50 PM and it's now 9. I need to go to sleep soon and need my phone so please help! Thank you.

What "AP" option did you select.
Once odin detects your device you are supposed to click PDA and then select the tar.md5 file.

I'm on 3.09 and noticed that all the titles did change for some reason, I googled it and PDA was changed to "AP". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539 search the thread or google "odin what is ap".

I see, I did not use the latest odin yet. Did you try the emergency KIES recovery ?
If possible try an older version of ODIN but It looks like the partition tables are messed up.
Try KIES first and see if it works.

[Q] Cannot Debrick Phone! - Odin Fails EVERYTIME

I Have tried everything....
I am at a loss here.
First of all, I got into a Bootloop/Soft Brick type thing.
Tried to reset using Kies and that just failed, now when I turn on my phone all I see is "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
*hooks up phone to Kies*
*Starts Firmware Emergency Recovery*
*Sits at 0% for ever*
So then I try Odin,
I download the .tar of the stock firmware from Samsung-Updates (.) com when I flash I get a message in Odin that is "FAIL"
Here is the message in the box thing that I get:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!

Please Please PLEASE Help me! I have looked everywhere and found nothing. I have been without a phone for a week now.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know now. WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY HELPS!
I will respond to every post you send
EDIT: About to try on another computer

Do you have an i747m or i747?
If you have the i747, do you have a 4.3 bootloader on it? If you do, you cannot just flash a stock ROM via Odin. Repeated attempts to do so may brick your phone.
You can either download the necessary 4.3 Odin files from XDA or flash a custom recovery in order to flash a stock 4.3 ROM using your custom recovery.

Bootloader?

I have an I747 and I've already tried to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) But it just shows the TWRP title screen and then goes back into a bootloop.
Im kind of a noob at the Odin thing, I've only used it to root so i'm not sure what bootloader I have but I assume it's a 4.3.
Even if I do have a 4.3 Bootloader, where can I find such a ROM?

Did you try flashing Philz Touch via Odin? This is what I use on my i747m. You can flash the latest tar version from here via the PDA box in Odin: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte
In Odin, do not check auto reboot, only F.Reset Time. Once you see the word Reset in the status window, remove the USB cable, pull the battery, insert the battery and boot into recovery, wipe cache, data, and Dalvik. You can copy a custom ROM (I use Validus 13) to an sd card and use Philz to flash it.

So do I download the tar.md5, if so I just tried and in Odin it says MD5 hash is invalid.

Thanks...Just one problem
Thank you so much, I made it into recovery! But just one problem, when I click Wipe data/Factory Reset the screen freezes and then it goes back into the bootloop. Could this be because I have no SIM or SD card inserted?

The freezing could be something else.
Did you try formatting the system?
I recommend doing a quick format before copying the ROM onto the SD card.

Yes, just tried formatting system (or at least what I think is formatting the system Mounts and storage>format /system) and It stiil freezes.
Do you think I could get away with not factory reset, because I was in the middle of a factory reset when the soft brick happened

Yes, try installing the rom without a reset. Theoretically, installing a new ROM should overwrite the existing ROM. If there are any files in the data or cache, this may prevent the ROM from fully booting.
Does Philz recognize the phone's SD card slot?

Yes it does. Flashing ROM Now:good:

I just hope it is able to flash a ROM and boot to the phone's desktop.

Perfect, It works, phone is now up and running, Thanks:good:

When you boot into download mode, what does it say on the screen? If you let me know what it says, I'll be able to tell if you have the stock 4.3 bootloader.

Your phone has the 4.3 bootloader and I recommend against using Odin to flash any ROMs.
If you want to restore a 4.3 stock ROM, use a method from the ROM development section.

Another ROOT problem or REPOST ...

Hi Guys,
I've been using many roms before, but I did flash Stock Rom with ODIN, and now i can't ROOT my phone. I already tried many times using chotu or philz recovery but no luck.
When press the VOL-DOWN+POWER+MENU, I've got VHX_21 nm_32bitMLC_8GM_p10, i know this is not error it just a info about my current firmware perhaps.
I tried with odin to flash CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.md5 or philz_touch_5.15.0-i9082.tar.md5, tick or untick the AutoReboot, and unplug battery... or any other method that i found on google but still no luck, no command and stock recovery comes out....
Just can't imagine why i do this at first after i finally rooted my phone almost a year, know i'm on stock 4.2.2 and its really freaking slow ...
Is there any other method that i can use??? or is it possible for me to remove recovery.img and replace with other recovery.img inside I9082XXUBMJ4_I9082OLBBMJ2_I9082DXUBMI1_HOME.tar.md5 file? or is there any rooted rom that i can flash directly from odin ???
Sorry if this thread is repost ...

Check my #11 post ... and you need to download your own stock rom at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082 and check for your region.
For me, i download the I9082XXUBMK7 firmware version for Galaxy Grand Duos (GT-I9082) from region XSE! (XSE for Indonesia) and follow my step on #11"]post #11

I've never encountered this before and I really need help... Device will not wipe!

I am not new to rooting and flashing roms but this has really stumped me. I'm on a rooted sprint note 4. I'm running the Bonsai stock rom with TWRP recovery. I absolutely cannot factory reset or wipe or even format from recovery anymore. No matter what I do. It appears to wipe but the current rom loads back anyway. I am totally perplexed. Only thing I can think of is maybe a virus. Has gotten a hold. Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm not fully clear on what you're saying. Sound like you can get into recovery, but no of the wipe functions of TWRP are working.
Was TWRP working before? If so, than maybe something you flashed corrputed the custom recovery. I two suggestions. 1) reflash TRWP via Odin. That may fix the custom recovery, without wiping the phone. If that doesn't work, 2) Odin the stock tar file so that phone is just like when you got it, excpet knox counter tripped; this is already tripped so it's not causing anything new. Then just reflash via Odian CF-autoroot and TWRP. Something you just have to start to from step one. Hopefully, you either have a nandroid or backed up your apps via Titanium Backup.

Thanks you lovekeiiy for replying. Just to be clear I CAN get into TWRP. It appears to be working but it's not really doing anything. It runs through the scripts but it's not actually changing anything. Also when I'm am fully booted I can deleteprograms and cchange things around... Then reboot and everything comes right back like I never changed anything.

I agree. Flash recovery again, try wiping, let us know if that works.

I think I'm screwed. I downloaded the Original Stock Tar from Samsung. I first tried to reinitialize with Kies but that failed. So then I tried to ODIN the stock tar and that fails (see below). I can still use the phone...I can normal boot right back into the current rom as if nothing changed. But I cannot wipe this damn thing. Nor can I format or load a different rom! I have no idea what to do next.

Also I can't re-flash the recovery cuz that fails too.

Might have to Odin to stock and start over. ?

No you don't understand. I can't Odin anything. When I try to flash the stock rom through Odin it fails. It's like this thing is write protected somehow. I am really at a loss here. I'm thinking of returning it to Sprint and take my chances gettig a rooted phone replaced or repaired unless someone can suggest something.

Just a thought, can you try Odin with the SD card and the Sim card removed?
Try a different PC, and good USB data cable! Can you un-root with super su? Then cf auto root Odin? Sometimes it is just the order of processes that can make it work or fail.

SS_DL.dll -->desktop
Romun yanındaki SS_DL.dll dosyasını desktop a atın

I tried to uproot with SU. It just doesn't matter what I do the rom loads right back up. It's as if nothing can be written to the system. Also I noticed when I enter recovery I am getting "recovery not seandroid enforcing".
Do you think if I take this to Sprint and ask them to factory reset they would do it? It's bizarre because something has got to be able to format this thing. Like a low level format or something.

Try going to this page, download the stock kernel zip and flash in twrp. Maybe then you can wipe is stock recovery. If that works, see if you can then flash twrp again.

You can also go here, download twrp img file and flash with flashy in your rom. http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr

Thank you for the suggestion but Odin fails everytime. Here is the error I get on the phone: MMC: mmc_write fail It seems that the partition is write protected somehow. There must be a way to change this! I am really out of options here. Has anyone have any experience with write failures?

I didn't say to use odin in either of my suggestions. Within twrp you can flash the stock recovery and reboot recovery should bring you back to stock recovery so you can wipe and factory reset. If that doesn't work use flashy from the play store to flash twrp img within the rim.

I am sorry for misunderstanding you. It won't work from the recovery either. The reason is, that I cannot write to whatever partition needs to be written to, to delete or modify. I cannot wipe this device no matter what I have tried. When I flash an .img with Flashify or TWRP or ROM TOOLBOX or even ODIN it appears to flash but sends me right back to TWRP recovery with a message saying: recovery not seandroid enforcing. The area that I need to write to needs to be formatted or repaired but I don't know how or even what program to do this with. I cannot believe that there isn't a way to totally re-format and re-partition like a low level format. The weird thing is that I can still totally use the phone. It's just that if I re-boot it, it returns to the state it was in when the problem started. This means if I add a program or delete a program or change anything, it will all revert back to how it is now after a re-boot.
Does anybody know of a way to completely reformat?? I hope this brand new Note 4 is not toast

If you have xposed installed, go to wanam, security hacks and select disable SEandroid. After reboot try flashy to flash twrp and the see if wiping works.

Thanks but that doesn't work. All it does is reboot me back to my current state (without the Winam hacks). I need something to re-partition or format from outside of the OS. That's why I thought ODIN would be the answer but it too can't write. I get eMMC_write fail. How do I fix that?

You need the pit file to flash with the stock tar so it reparations the phone. Not sure there is one yet. Pm shabby and see if he can get you it.

Yes. The PIT file. I bet that will re-partition it. I will try to PM him. I know there isn't PIT yet.

Um How do I find Shabby?? Is "Shabby" his username?
