Hello and thank you for taking time to read this post.
I attempted to root my At&t Samsung Galaxy S3 today then install tha AOKP Rom, and it back fired due to poor instruction, and poor execution. At the moment my phone, whenever it turns on "inititing swager" (with a pink horse and gears) then gives me a pop-up saying "Unfortunatly the process com.google.process.gapps has been stopped." and "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". Whenever I hit ok, the other shows up. I have access to the pull down menu, but can't open any of the links on it. I can also shut it off then get back to the root(hat menu) menu. From which I have tried the option "wipe data/Factory Reset" link, but that changes nothing when I reboot. At this point I am just looking for a way to get it back to factory settings or at least working!
How I got here:
1. Rooted the phone through my computer (successfully it seemed)
-Using this tutorial: /watch?v=bIUA1IxiJzo
2.Started puting AOPK on!
(with this: /watch?v=qzcR-G7EKSw
Look, I know none of you have to help me but any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I hav looked through other forums about the gapps error, but the difference is mine is not running to the home screen so I can't go to application manager!
Two suggestions:
1) Put your phone in recovery mode (i.e. where you can do factory resets from), transfer a different ROM image over to the device (I'd use adb to do that from recovery mode), flash it, clear data/cache/etc., reboot the phone, and hope it works.
2) Put the phone in download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power; just like entering recovery, but Vol Down instead of Vol Up), and use Odin to flash a rooted stock image as detailed here; put CWM / TWRP / whatever recovery you want to use on the phone again, and get back to flashing ROM images from there.
In the future, try to be careful of what ROMs you flash... not everything works very well, as you've just discovered.
Thank you for responding so quickly! I am attempting the first method, however i am not sure how to transfer a different rom image(im assuming the adb stands for Android Debug Bridge). I was using the internal SD, but I can plug it the phone into my computer, and it says no drivers found for this device, where before it recognized the phone. Once I get that I can clear the other data and restart.
Your help is very appreciated!

Gapps loop
How can I post a doubt in XDA forum?
What custom recovery is on your phone? I suggest installing Philz Touch via Odin if possible and then flash a new rom from an external SD card.

Was messing around with my phone flashing roms to see what I liked best and got too far ahead of myself and forgot to wipe data and cache. Now, I'm stuck in some kind of "boot loop" and can't get back into ClockWorkRecovery(Via root) to perform a restore. My computer just isn't recognizing that I have my phone connected now although it did previously. Is there anything I can do in this situation, or am I basically screwed?
Edit: I solved the issue on my own, it just took lots of playing around and disconnecting/reconnecting before I was able to get back into CWR. If a mod sees this, go ahead and delete this thread it has no purpose.
HELP
Please, i have the same issue
My phone has been bootlooping for a week now, so much i decided to give up.
Please please please tell me how you got back to clockwork and then from there what to do
Thank you so so much in advance
My guess, and this is only a guess, is to try the following.
Assuming you have already flashed the ENG build...
1. Place a new update.zip (clockwork recovery) onto root of the phone's SD card (probably using a card reader, just to be on the safe side).
1.5 Turn the Phone off, if it's on.
2. Hold down Volume Down + Power Button to turn on the phone and boot into the phone's default recovery.
3. Press Volume Up + Power button to get the selectable menu.
4. Select the "Apply update.zip" option (2nd one down).
5. This should boot you into the Clockwork Recovery.
From there, locate the ROM you want to use that's meant for the Slide (like SlidemeRoot 5).
1. Download the ROM.
2. Navigate to the mount menu in clockwork and select the option to mount the card as USB Mass Storage.
3. Plug the phone into the PC (via USB cable).
4. Copy the ROM to the card.
(My trick here is to redownload ROMs. I've seen my phone bootloop when the ROM doesn't download all the way.)
1. Unmount USB.
2. Navigate to the Wipe Data/Factory Reset option.
3. Select Yes from the menu to wipe everything.
4. Locate the install any zip option and install the ROM
5. When that's done, select the reboot option.
From here, you can just leave the phone alone until it boots. If you worry or want to watch, use adb to watch the logs.
1. In command prompt, navigate to where you have ADB installed.
2. type in: adb logcat
3. Enjoy.
For me, the first boot for SlidemeRoot took at least a minute. I could see the logs rolling along, so I just left it alone until the logs slowed down and then stopped. By then, the phone looked like it was ready to go (complete with normal screen, signal, and everything).
I did the same thing, but I havent flashed my rom with the eng build, is there anything I can do, or is my phone hosed? My phone wont boot, and I cant get it to boot up in clockwork, so I cant reflash it...
Hey everyone. I know there are already a few threads with boot loop animations, and am having difficulties finding the same situation as what I'm going through. Here is what the phone used to have before it randomly started looping:
Rooted - with Stock rom, using ClockwordMod Recovery 5.5.0.2
Used Go Launcher Theme ( if that even matters )
No additional roms installed or anything, the phone is 3 months old.
Ok here is where I'm stuck. I understand I should reflash somethings like recovery image or something, but I'm stuck with one big problem. My computer and phone don't recognize using the USB mount.
The message I get is called "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory)
Here's what screens I can get to:
1. Hold vol up/down while holding power ( the little android with its belly open, and the options Start - Restart Bootloader - Recovery mode - Power Off )
2. Hold vol down - ODIN mode, with the START option only
I can access WMD recovery and factory reset, Try to install my old backup, nothing works at all in that area, no matter what I do.
Can someone advise me a step by step way of getting my computer to recognize my phone, so that I am able to do fastboot, or reflash, or anything to get my phone working again. I can't access my internal memory at all.
It's even possible that I've read too much, and my frustration is getting in the way, if so I apologize! Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance of course! I need my phone for business!
Cheers,
Install the drivers on a computer then use fastboot oem unlock. Or just factory reset it from within recovery.

Try my siggy.
I'm not sure about the exact error:
But the link there will get you the correct drivers.
Also, as stated...try to factory reset.
You'll lose your apps/data that way though =/
Hopefully you can get the driver installed and get your computer to recognize.
If so, follow this to back up your apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Have exactly the same setup as you (rooted/stock/CWM) and had the animation bootloop - animation would just loop until a battery pull.
Only thing that solved it was a factory reset from recovery. Been working fine for the 4 weeks since. No need for any reflashing etc. Titanium recoveries have all worked fine as well. Didn't try my Nandroid backup as I thought that may still have the 'fault' built in.
I had a boot loop for every from I tried to flash...wat fixed it was before flashing u need to wipe system data and wipe the cache in the recovery...ie a clean install...then every rom I tried worked...so I think ur missing that crucial step coz it worked for me

Hey guys, as stated above I've done numerous factory resets, it still seems to boot. I will for sure try to get the drivers installed so my phone is recongised by the computer, but would need step-by-step assistance when doing fastboot, or whatever the next step is.
Looking for more help though! Keep em coming!
?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok guys, so here's where I'm at now. I've used Jubakuba's sticky link, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
Everything is able to be recognized up to the point where it says "Put the su.zip on your phone."
Since I cannot access my phone contents, since I keep getting this "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory), it does not allow me to add anything to my phone.
I re-installed CWD as stated in the list of things to do, and all that went well. But I have the same issue, I tried factory resetting all that. erase cache, and still stuck with the same issue.
What's my next step now peeps? Looking for a quick answer as I have time to do it tonight!
Edit***
Just tried this trick: but it says it does not recognize the device?? what is going on! Please help someone! Thanks!

Q: My phone won't boot!
A: The easiest option is to get into recovery and restore a nandroid using the above guide (pull battery to put phone in an off-state if needed).
However, more advanced options are available if you don't have a nandroid available (You're naughty).
Do you have another rom .zip available on your SD card? If so, simply use the above guide for installing a rom to get you booting again.
If not, you can download one on your PC. Boot into fastboot (the green Android with open chest menu).
Move the .zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.
Open ADB.
Change the NAMEOFZIP.zip below to the correct file name...and perform the action.
Surely your computer recognizes your phone. Otherwise how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery?
And I've never seen that error message before. It doesn't even make any sense to me. Where are you seeing it? On your phone or on your computer? And in what context? What are you trying to do when it shows up?
If your phone isn't booting I'm not sure that you can copy any files to it yet. (Maybe you can use adb in clockworkmod? I'm not sure) What I do know you can do is flash the stock ROM and start over.

Here's a instructions for the GSM version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
For the Verizon version, I can't find the thread at the moment but you just replace the filenames and also there's 2 radios to flash so:
fastboot flash radio *filename*
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cmda *filename*
"Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory) appears on the phone, in CWD mode, when trying to attempt "mount Usb" to be able to access my internal storage .
I am attempting your thoughts right now.
I will post with results
Ok I tried to do this step. This is the outcome I received on the computer after even typing the first step:
'fastboot-windows' is not recognized as aninternal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A thing to stress, I'm not sure how to do step 1: 1) Take a Nandroid Backup if you have CWM installed.

GREAT NEWS!

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

ok. my phone just quick restarted. it directly went back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. pressing volume down + power button for a few seconds doesnt work to get into bootloader. i tried it serveral times. im not even able to turn the phone off. holding the power button only wont help at all.
thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already
Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?
Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.
If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.
got my phone working again. additionally i tried to "re-stock" my phone via a ruu.exe. now i have a new problem ( -.- ;D). my phone wont connect to wlan. it always hangs on "authenticating with wifi (dont know if translated it the right way)". some has an idea how to solve that problem?
p.s. sry for answering this late. had to do a lot of stuff for my finals :/
edit: was a problem with my router

Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I'm not completely ignorant when it comes to rooting and flashing custom roms, but it's been a while since the last time I did (last time was my Samsung Galaxy S2). Today I decided I was going to root my N5110 Note 8 and install a 4.4.2 rom on it.
I decided I was going to install the Omni Rom linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569099
I apologize in advance for the long descriptions below.
Here are the steps and issues in the order that it happened:
1) Flashed CF-Auto-Root-konawifi-konawifixx-gtn5110 using Odin (Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time)
2) Downloaded Rom Manager App, and booted into Recovery from there.
3) Using CWM Recovery, I followed instructions as described on the Omni link and did a Wipe/Factory Reset
4) Using CWM Recovery, I selected to install zip from SDCard, and selected the omni-4.4.2-20140102-n5110-HOMEMADE.zip
5) After a few seconds, I got an error 7, and the installation aborted.
6) Tried to reboot back to the system, but of course now that everything is wiped, it just loops back to recovery.
7) I tried installing the zip again, same error. I checked the thread and someone mentioned the same error. OP mentioned using TWRP, so I went back into Download mode and flashed TWRP via Odin
8) After reboot, it went into TWRP. Tried installing zip again, same error. I decided I'll pick up another rom to try first. So, I took out my microSD card so that I can load the ROM over to it.
9) Booted back into TWRP - it no longer sees my SD card. Tried to power down from recovery menus in hopes to get it to see the sd card. No luck
10) I'm desperate now--I am trying to force it off by holding down the power button. It reboots back into recovery. I even try to get it back to download mode so I can flash CWM back on, in hopes that it will let me retry. But now it just shows the battery screen (like when you're charging it while powered off) at empty. I unplug the USB cable, the screen turns off.
11) I try to power it back on without the USB cable plugged in, nothing happens.
12) I plug the USB power back in, and it looks like it's booting up. It goes to the Samsung Note 8.0 N5110 screen and just flickers. The flickering increases in speed over time.
13) I force it back into Download mode, and try to run the CF Auto-Root again (like I said I'm desperate now).
14) After Odin reboots the device, it goes into the battery screen and is doing the weird flickering thing again.
I'm currently attempting to download XXCMH3_stock-rooted-official.zip in hopes to flash via Odin, but the d/l keeps timing out before the whole thing can be transferred.
Someone, please help! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, just so you know... you do not need to root a stock ROM to flash a custom ROM... I am surprised that you think that is necessary
Did you ever set USB debugging to enabled?
Also what Odin do you have?
Turn off note, remove SD, and see if you can start in Stock download mode.
Flash with Odin 3.07... repeat flash with Odin 3.07 and use N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5 from http://samsungis.com/
Here is a copy of a reply on a thread it may help if you cannot perform the simple task of reflashing stock ROM from my small list of steps.
Harjan112 said:
Have you tried to flash with Re-Partition checked in Odin 3.07? It looks like your partions are messed up, if it was me I would just give it a try "flashing with re-partition checked" seeing as though its not working anyway.
If that don't work see if you can get a PIT file somewhere, I did read someone put up a link for a PIT file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544451 although I am NOT 100% sure if this is for the GT-N5110 but read thru it and if you feel adventurous give that PIT file a try.
And here is a link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Galaxy+Note+8/XXCMG2/ that someone put up with a leaked firmware and the PIT file and CODE file for the N5110 you can give that a try also.
- Unzip the file
- Open Odin 3.07 (already included in the firmware package)
- Restart phone in download mode
(Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add CODE_N5110XXCMG2_1031850_REV01_user_low_ship.tar to CODE
- Add CSC_OXA_N5110OXACMG2_1031850_REV01_user_mid_noship .tar to CSC
- Add kona_wifi.pit to PIT
- Make sure re-partition is ticked
- Start flash, sit back and wait a few minutes.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (Home+ Power + Volume Up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset.
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!

In TWRP v2.6.3.0 look under mount and see if Micro Sdcard has an "x" if there is no "x" check this and go back to the screen where is says reboot ... reboot recovery from there, once rebooted in recovery go to install and in the top (if you are on v2.6.3.0) you should see storage, tap that and you should have a choice from internal storage and Micro SDcard, if you see Micro SDcard there you should select that and hit ok.

My apologies. I didn't see any of the replies since my email subscription went to my spam folder.
Thank you for those of you who took the time to try and help me.
I know I didn't have to flash stock, but it was more of me being desperate and just trying to put ANY rom on to get it to turn on.
By some weird luck, I had got my tablet working the next day. Basically, in defeat, I just let it sit on the charger overnight thinking a full tank of gas would help it. The next morning, I seriously just pressed all the button combinations and managed to get it to go into recovery and see my SD. I tried yet again to install the Omni Rom again but no dice. It gave me an error again.
So I tried to install a rom again, this time the PAC-rom.
It worked!
Tablet is functional again!
So thank all of you and the electronics god for the miracle!
Have a great weekend you fine folks!
Good Day,
Thanks for taking the time to read my posting.
I am running a Galaxy Note 2 with TWRP v2.8.7.0. Previously, had been running CyanogenMod 12 Latest Release from 2015-11-17.
Had an issue with the phone rebooting, went into TWRP to clear Cache/Davlik Cache, seen an error after this with /Data partition not being mounted(phone was encrypted). Proceeded to go into TWRP and Format Data then reinstall the ZIP listed above from an external SD card, successfully completed installation of ZIP file for CyanogenMod 12. When I reboot the device from TWRP, through Reboot->System, keeps rebooting back into TWRP and not into CyanogenMod.
I have connected the device to a Windows computer, confirmed that I can see it connected through USB. When I issue abd devices, I see the ##### recovery listed for the device, but if I issue fastboot devices, no device is listed.
Any recommendations for what could be done to reinstall the CyanogenMod build on my device so that it can boot properly would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone on the community for the support, education and feedback over the years and for all the hard work that you do, cheers to you.
Maybe flash back to a completely stock rom, confirm that everything works, flash twrp, and cm again?
I was thinking about recovery to stock recovery when I read your post .
Tried the stock recovery using Odin3-v3.07 pointing to CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5(1/20/2015), this appeared to complete from Odin, but the phone still went into a reboot loop into CyanogenMod, but never fully started up, thereafter.
Went to the autoroot.chainfire.eu site, downloaded the latest stock recovery for device.
Pulled the battery, back into TWRP, select Wipe/Factory reset from TWRP. Installed Samsung Kies onto desktop, ran Odin3-v3.10.6 pointing AP to CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5 dated from 3/31/2016. Then went to phone and go to download mode (turn off first, press and hold following buttons: vol down + home + power). Then Press Up Volume key to get into Download mode, then connect it to PC via USB. Device shown in Odin under ID:COM. On Option uncheck “Repartition”. After reboot, phone boot into IMG for CyanogenMod. Confirmed access to phone thereafter.
Thanks for the feedback, hope this helps someone down the line, if they run into the same issue.
