I have been trying to hook a buddy of mine up with a new rom for his Evo, basically make it exactly like mine with the newest Fresh Rom. I rooted his phone with Revolutionary and it all went just fine, the phone is now rooted with Superuser successfully installed. I put the Fresh zip on his SD card, wiped everything as you are supposed to, and then flashed the zip. It flashes fine and boots up, loads to the lockscreen and setup, but then reboots and does the whole process again, basically a bootloop. I have tried various roms and kernels, wiped over and over again, redownloaded the file, etc., but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?! I never had this issue installing this rom on my phone. Any help would be appreciated!
try using a different recovery
Something other than RA? What do you suggest? CWM is crap isn't it?

Give newer versions on CWM its work just fine for me. I never had a problem.

I am skeptical that a different recovery will fix the problem, but I will give it a try and report back. Is there anything else anyone can come up with?
I had a really weird issue where I couldn't flash any of the Gingerbread roms a while back, and had flashed goodness knows how many since I bought my evo on launch day and rooted it day one when it was available.
Trying different recovery versions might help, but if it doesn't, I'd suggest to unroot it and start all over. Find a post in the dev section on unrooting, go back to the stock sprint rom, and start over.
I did that, and was then able to flash all gingerbread roms and get them to not bootloop.
I'm not the only one that was having the problem, but NO devs could/would help figure it out. Not even flipz. Give it a shot.
Thanks for the info, I will try to Recovery thing first and then do a full wipe out and start over from a stock rom. The weird thing about it is that this is the first time this phone has been rooted and the first attempt at flashing roms.
Just curious, how many times does it reboot?? Over and over and over, or are you pulling the battery after the first or send time?
Over and over

Try recovery and fast boot from there.

I changed recoveries to clock work, and it did not make a difference. I continued to get the same boot loop as before with RA. I just wiped out the entire system, and went into the boot loader to unroot back to stock. I will report back my results once I am done

Changing up the recovery did nothing to fix my problem. I unrooted his phone, regained s-on, flashed a stock rom and am starting over. I will report back my results.
Well damnit anyway, starting all over from scratch did nothing as well. Still get the same damn bootloop. WTF!?!? Anyone else have any other ideas?
I've read every post and I can't think of anything that would help. You think it's a software issue, like inside the phone itself might be bad?

Is this something that could be discovered on a logcat? I have never done one or know how they work, but would anyone be willing to diagnose the problem if I am able to get a logcat?
Damn that sucks. What your status. Did you fix the bootloop?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Still no fix discovered, any help on this would be greatly appreciated

What's interesting, is that this is the exact same boot loop problem I was having on my Evo when trying to flash any sense 3.0 rom.

Have you tried using / flashing any of the zips that are prepackaged " wipes " ?
Have you tried using TWRP recovery ?
I never had any problems while using RA but had numerous failed flashes with Clockwork.
TWRP has been stellar so far ... no failed flashes yet.
So yesterday i went ahead rooted the phone dl TI backup. Everything was working fine until i was messing around with TI and removing apps. etc. After that. I couldnt restart my phone. I was stuck at the GOODBYE screen. So my dumnbass went and did a wipe and data delete. Thinking it will fix that error. Now im getting UI error and i cant access crap! I was using APEX launcher. Need helpe please. Looks like i coould still receive messages, but not TWlauncher. UI error!!! HELP!!!!!!!
Odin back to stock....then retry

Calm down, you can always download a flashable ROM, place it on your sdcard and flash it through CWM. Everything will be normal.
I'm assuming you can boot into CWM.
You can either try restoring all the stuff you deleted with Titanium or wipe the phone and start over.

@Danial723 How do you do that? Sorry im a noob on this stuff. Do you guys think doing a Reboot Recovery will help? Will the phone be still rooted?

Does anyone know why the GOODBYE screen freezes when restarting and poweing off?(im rooted) My last resort is to go back to stock and start alll over. Im just trying to find out if theres another way around to it. I cant restart or powering off with out doing it manauly by holding the power button for a long time.
and please forgive me for the noobocracy that i am about to commit... i flashed my phone back to stock due to some strange things happening with rom i was using... it was JB. i flashed back to stock GB. i tried to go back to my jb rom, but the phone won't boot. do i need to flash stock ics or an ics rom before going to jb, or do i have a much more serious issue??
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
More serious issue, but maybe u didn't flash GB properly. You should just be able to usenodin and go back to 2.3.5
my phone is currently on 2.3.6 stock and working fine. let me try one more thing and i will get back to you....

i was able to get things running... i went from gb, to ics, then to my jb rom, and things seem to be working fine. thanks for the reply though...

For future reference, Kies (from Samsung), although a PITA app (I'd install it, use it, then uninstall), installed on your computer, can update/restore your phone completely and fairly painlessly as long as the computer can recognize the phone is plugged in. It's all stock stuff, of course, but it should get you the latest stuff as far as radios and such go as well.
The PITA part of it is it's not just for recovery, it has a bunch of other functions (media management, backup, blah, blah) that are pretty much unnecessary given superior alternatives.
Upgraded 2 S2's to 4.1.2, 1 with no issues the other has system info displaying, can anyone help me to get rid if it?

No I have not tried that, will do it tonight when I can get my hands on the phone.
Well the infamous wipes were a no go also....so I wiped everything once again did a fresh install of the PAC man ROM by jay dub and it wasn't on there so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the touchwiz ROM Idk to be honest tho it really confuses me on why no one else is having the issue it was on my wife's phone that I was having the issue on so I'm going to try and reproduce the issue on my phone later
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Wipe didnt work here also, its a stock rom that i have with the issue.
I was having it with every jellybean touchwiz based rom

I just flashed the stock rom released by Telus through ODIN. Getting same screen. No idea what to do or what's causing this.
I did a formate/wipe cache in recovery.

I actually called Samsung about it and they said it needs to be professionally reflashed by them which is stupid cuz I just got my phone back after they had it for 4 weeks he said its a software issue

flashed multiple Roms on this, the only way i can get rid of the info on screen is by going back to 4.0.4. has anyone come to figure out where this is coming from?
Little late
Okay so i know its late but if anyones feels the need to go back to stock heres the fix:
-Have root access
-Use titanium backup to find Systeminfo 4.1.2
-Clearing data will remove that
-You should only need to do this every boot
Not sure if you can remove this program, but that would eliminate the problem

I know its an old thread, but i am wondering if any one can shed some light as to why this system info screen appears, i was able to get rid of it by just deleting the file from titanium backup, no visible problems what so ever , data, phone, mms, every thing works as it should.
Just wondering why it popped up after odin back to stock..
Also I've read a few other samsung forums, and they relate this info screen to either; permanent safe mode due to imei faking, or corrupted efs drive/partition or some what.
Fyi, with the imei faking there would be no data/cellular services.
So I'm going with that something might be wrong with my efs? Maybe?
I had the same issue. I fixed it by restoring efs from a TRWP efs backup.
When I had this system screen show up it also flashed below it on startup that factory mode was on. If you go to youtube and search "Samsung Galaxy S4 : How to Get out of Factory Mode" it may help those without a efs backup
Just tried updating my moms phone with an official stock build with an update from the Sammy website and it has effectively destroyed her internal storage. She has no SDcard and we can't figure out why the internal sdcard will no longer mount. Can anyone help me?
Shes gonna be pissed she lost all her photos from her trip
Try going to the Rwilco12 repository and downloading the latest GB27 restore. Flash that and it should fix the issue. What happened sounds like your phone didn't set up the partitions properly. You more than likely didn't lose any data. It's just that the partition is messed up and cant be seen.

yeah I ended up flashing back to 4.0.4 but it wouldn't boot so I flashed GB27 NODATA back over. It fixed my issue, but now all the files are gone. Im looking to root now and maybe recover if possible. We'll see
Look for a data recovery app. Your data should still be there. As long as it isn't over written, it should be recoverable.

Yeah, gave that a shot and it was all done. But everything works now, so mom should be happy. Now time to hack and hopefully not break my phone
