Operations with data failing! Bricked!?

Hi! Today I got semi-bricked Note II. I flashed WanamLite 2.0 and afther that I restored my appz through titanium backup. I played games 20 min, my phone is suddenly rebooted. Now I cant restore my nandroid backup, it success restore /system, but when it start to restore data - recovery shutdown! Same if I try to wipe data - wiping... black screen and reboot.

Now phone booted from nandroid backup successfully and without troubles, recovering boot and system successful. Restoring /data ... black screen. Reboot. But when I try to wipe data my recovery turns off. Ofc it didnt wipe it. Also I tried PhilZ and Chenglu recovery and same results.
Whats problem? What I need to flash to restore /data partition? Where I can download Rescue ROM or 3-file (PDA PHONE CSC) stock firmware? Will it help? Thx!

I'm experiencing this issue as well.
CWM keeps rebooting whenever i select "wipe data/factory reset"
I've tried re-flashing a stock rom in ODIN with the PIT file which allows me to boot the phone but it is missing apps like Play Store. After flashing a stock rom, I've tried flashing CWM via ODIN to wipe but the same problem of reboot on wipe data still persist.
I've also tried superwipe script and the factory reset from Settings but the phone hangs in all cases.

my phone isnt brick.
I have a stock Samsung ROM but it does not have Play Store so I'm unable to restore any backups or install apps.

tried that but Play Store force closes when I try to verify account.

So there is no way to fix it? Why it persists? Please!

I tried to google this problem. I surfing but I couldn't find some results which can help me and guy who tried to help me.
I think it depends not only the software, it can be hardware failure.

hihi, i'm not sure if u had the exact same problem as me. but i accidently managed to fix it.
1. Go to Download mode.
2. Use PC Odin to flash Stock 4.1.2 (PDA slot) + PIT file(PIT slot)(Check re-partition box) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696.
3. Phone reboot into stock rom
4. Switch off the phone
5. Hold power + home + up to enter stock android recovery (3e)
6. Wipe data/factory reset. (somehow the data wipe works in stock android recovery, dont ask me why)
7. Reboot phone
8. Switch off phone and enter download mode
9. Use ODIN to flash CWM tar
After that you can enter CWM and shud be able to wipe as normal. Den you can flash any custom rom that you like as before.
This was how I managed to fixed my phone. try at your risk

[Q] Bootloop after flashing Stock ROM (N7100)

Hello, shame on me for being a noob and doing things i probably shouldn't have...
I rooted my Note 2 ( N7100, german version) like described in dr kaitans thread and it worked fine. Then i flashed PAC Rom using TWRP and that also worked fine. Now i wanted to install a stock Rom from Kaitans Thread and that's when the drama began. i installed the stock rom using odin (successful) which rebooted the phone after finishing and until then i'm stuck in a bootloop, where the samsung logo (animation with the blue cirle around it) keeps coming over and over again.
I cant seem to get into recovery mode, but i'm able to get into download mode. to turn off, i have to remove the battery.
Please help me guys, i'm desperate. :crying:

Its common when you flash stock ROM on custom
just reboot to recovery
wipe cache
wipe data

I can't seem to get to recovery. i tried volume down + home + power, but this leads to the screen with the white letters saying "samsung galaxy note II" but nothing more. do i have to do something different?

For recovery vol up + home + power
once you see samsung text release power
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------
If you are unable to get into recovery
reboot to download mode and flash this
http://d-h.st/5ai
then try to reboot to recovery then wipe cache and data

after wipe cache and wipe date, what do i have to do next or am i finished then?
when i'm on stock, can i flash customs and if is there a procedure you can recommend?
sorry for all the questions. do you have any link where the whole rooting thing is explained for people like me?

After wiping it should boot normally
Here is link for Installation ROM and post #2 is for rooting details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

Don't be so down, it always happens.
just do what dr.ketan said.
instead of Vol down + home + power (which is download) press Vol up + home + power
but i think a dalvik and cache wipe is enough (no need to wipe data)
P.S : you can just hold the power button to turn off your phone instead of pulling out the battery.
Hope i helped.

No i'm not able to turn it down by using the power button. had to pull the battery.

I had exactly the same problem yesterday(i dont let me go to recovery mode,only download), i am very noob in this flashing stuff, the way i fixed it was with kies, theres a guide on the forums "how to get to stock rom with kies" or something like that. I got the bootloop again, however i could go to recovery mode and wipe cache/data.

Hi you awesome people, thank you so much for helping me. i was able to solve my problems with your help.
one last (off topic, sorry for that) question: can anyone recommend me a rom which is highly customisable when it comes to design and optics.

Hi, I have the exact same problem, bootloop after flashing stock rom. I am able to enter stock recovery, cleared cache and reset data. Still cannot boot. Went back to odin mode and reflashed stock rom, still the same. Please help.

Stuck in same issue after upgade to V* from Ver 6.1
Hi ketan,
I am facing the same issue after upgrade to V8 from V6.1
Facing the same even after clear data / cache and even after re flash.
Please suggest.

Thank you Dr. Ketan.
I had same problem after I flashed stock ROM through ODIN over custom ROM (DN4). It PASSED the operation, but went into bootloop. Just SAMSUNG flashing Dim and Bright and occasionally the button lights comes ON and OFF.
Rebooted to Recovery...(VOL. UP + POWER + CENTER BUTTON) Remember to release the Power Button once you see Samsung Text, but keep pressing the other two buttons...release when you see recovery options list. After the above, I cleared cache but no success.
Then I cleared data and cache "both" and it worked like a charm!
Thank you Dr... You saved my device.

I flashed a rom and now my phone is just rebooting

I rooted my phone, downloaded the jedi mind trick rom and attempted to flash it. I deleted and format my phone in CWM and i installed the rom from an internal sdcard. Now it keeps resetting and wont turn on. What should I do now?

Have you tried jamison's cache wipe?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Im downloading the stock telus rom in an attempt just to start from the beginning. When I flash it I'll get back to you. I was rushing when I rooted it the first time I guess.

Okay so I've done that and have rooted it using the s2 toolkit. what steps should I take to ensure the jedi mind trick rom can be successfully flashed?

Okay I tried reflashing it again... Didn't work, I have the same problem. I did the factory settings, and wiped the cache and flashed the rom. I then went into advanced and cleared the Devac (sp) cache and fixed permissions. I rebooted and it didn't work. It starts, gets to about the loading circle graphic and just resets

I used Darkside super wipe and it worked for me...
ive done it like this.
flashed original stock rom via odin
Root via S2 toolkit
flash cmw with toolkit as above
and flash custom rom via s2 toolkit
and after that used darkside superwipe

thanks for the tip, I tried the darkside wipe but it still is happening.

I have the same exact thing. But for me it's different. It started with the PACman 22.0.1. Whenever I press the power button to turn on/off the screen, it would restart a couple of seconds later being stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Can't get into recovery mode (used TWRP 2.3.3.1 and 2.5). I somehow managed to revert back to stock which worked properly. Rooted and installed PACman 22.1.1 ROM and it's still stuck on a reboot loop.
I don't know if it's a hardware problem (wiring off power button to the circuit is damaged) or a software code that messed up the machine code in the circuit.

i had the same when i installed wrong kernel and radio...try it like this..instal stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
and then try cwm recovery version from the s2 toolkit (try non touch ver.)
and then try flashing

try doing a factory reset, wipe cache and install rom. don't wipe cache or anything after that until after it boots. btw don't use cwm wipe cache, try the one that is stickied in development forum.

I hope you have a external sdcard in your phone..
The first thing to do is to download this Wicked v3 custom rom which is the best rom you can find.
Here is the download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/evil1art/files/evil/S4/WICKED_v3.zip/download
After it's downloaded take your external sdcard and plug it into some adaptor and plug that into your computer.
Then copy the wicked rom onto the microsdcard and put the card back into your phone.
After doing that boot the phone into cwm or twrp recovery whichever you have and flash the rom.
Be sure that before you flash the rom do a full wipe including factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
and wipe system before you start the flash.
After it's done flashing and it gets to the screen where it asks you about what language you want,
don't do anything for about 4-5 minutes. Then reboot the phone and put all your info into it like
usual when flashing any other rom.
That's about it, you will have the best rom and the best phone.
Good luck!

[Q] Stuck in recovery mode bootloop!

Hello everyone,
This is what is happening to me. I was trying to flash Miroslav's Cyanogenmod 11 RC2 with Philz Touch 6.07.9, but none of the recomended methods worked for me, I just got stuck on lg logo bootloop - I really want this rom but it is hard as f**k to flash -. So I tried to go back to CM 10.2.1 and got the "Status 7" error. Very frustrated, I finally used my stock recovery image and it worked fine.
From this point, i was recovering my apps and data using titanium back up and when it finished, a notification asked if I wanted the official system update. I refused it and proceded to reboot. Now the phone boots instantly to recovery mode and show the purple screen of Philz touch. First I wiped cache and dalvik and got the same bootloop. Then I wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset and got the same bootloop. Finally, I formated system, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and flashed again my recovery image, and got again the recovery mode bootloop.
Any Ideas? Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
EDIT: I must clarify that when I flash my recovery image, it ALWAYS get suck on a part that says something like "installing android security". I have to press power button 10 seconds to restart but it boots normaly in the stock rom.

When in vain , unbrick your phone again using unbricking guide and use CWM , not all guide is working for the same type of phone . No need to wipe system clean cache watevr **** you were told unless recommended by developer and just factory reset then flash the rom

Thanks for the answer and the advice about factory reset. Yes, I had to unbrick my phone and by the way, still could not install miroslav's cm11 RC3 using Philz touch 6.19.3.
But I have another issue: I successfully got back to CM 10.2.1 but after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, I rebooted the phone and got stuck on CM logo for half hour. I wiped dalvik and got the same result. Then wiped cache and dalvik and still stuck. What should I do? Flash again the rom? The restored data is from CM 10.2.1 so I don't see any problem....

check again what you restore, user apps will have no problem to restore but system apps will cause incompatibility to the rom and crash it

The phone is good now, I restored the stock rom and from there I flashed CM 10.2.1 just making a factory reset. Plus I flashed adreno drivers and gapps. Once it booted, I restored my apps without sistem data and now the phone works properly.
Thank you Mr.201

Glad it worked, make sure you untick 'system' in filter in titanium backup so that you can only see your user apps .
