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?

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?

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.

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.

yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.

When you get to to recovery restore a backup if you made one. Which you should always make a backup before making changes on ur rom. Or you may have to reflash the rom. If you can get into recovery your phone is not bricked.

Contacts should be all synced to gmail. Just reflash and wait a minute for them to come back all by themselves after you log in.
I don't remember if the latest twrp has a file manager function (can't check while using the same phone to write thisn post) but if it does you might be able to replace the files that way. Otherwise, one theoretical option is you could extract the files from a stock rom and make a flashable zip that just puts those exact files back, copy the zip to a microsd card using a card reader & a pc (i don't think you can do much via usb while in recovery). Pop sd card back in phone and flash with twrp.
Possibly less work to restore contacts by hand again. This time let it sync to gmail so you won't be so screwed again. Better yet use titanium backup or rerware mybackup so you get txts, call logs, bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings, contacts and apps.

Unfortunatetly the "factory reset" option in TWRP is not the most descriptive wording.
All factory reset does is delete the data partition. It doesn't restore the OS userspace programs or the kernel or the modem/firmware or the bootloader.
Now that you've done that, there is no more chance to recover anything, which means there is no more reason to agonize over reflashing a new rom. Go ahead and flash away.
Simplest way, since you have a working custom recovery, is use a pc to download one of the recovery-flashable rom zips and put it on a microsd card. Put the sdcard back in the phone, boot into recovery and flash that zip.
It's simpler and safer than trying to use odin.

You should just factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reflash your old rom, then reboot.

I hope the experience doesn't scare you off flashing forever. You're actually not in bad shape right now. Your recovery is doing it's exact job it's named for. Your phone is booting into recovery, and twrp in particular is a powerful flexible one. It's a whole mini OS really.
And even if your recovery was screwed too, you could still use " download mode" and odin to flash everything back, it's just les convenient and less well documented but the standard recipe of steps is up there on galaxynote2root.com and elsewhere.
There's also a one click back to stock here on xda too. That runs from a pc and attempts to do everything to go all the way back to factory, including firmwares, bootloader, even resetting the flash counter back to 0.
Really your problem is that there are so many options it's confusing to figure out how to choose which one!
Hang in there. Try flahing the zips I pointed too and if there's a problem don't worry just post back here what happened.
For intance, when I flashed those, I had to an extra reboot that the instructions didn't say. After I flashed the firmware zip, the rom zip wouldn't flash. It just said failed in red letters. Scary. But I rbooted back into twrp and it flashed fine then. That happened a few different times on different roms after doing manual wipes in twrp also not just after flashing firmwares.
So don't worry.

It didn't work, even after rebooting twice via recovery. So I wiped cache and user data again and rebooted. My baby is till stuck at "Samsung" in the boot animation. :crying:
KEYofR - This is so depressing and I really do appreciate your encouraging words right now. I wish there was a Super Thanks button.
Sorry didn't read ahead. If you are on TWRP recovery just grab any rom and flash it and you should be booting. Make sure after you flash not to wipe anything (especially system).
bhint15 said:
First question and if you can't answer this then you need to read up on ODIN and reflash back to stock. What recovery do you have installed? How did you perform your wipe that isn't allowing you to boot? You mentioned you wiped everything else so if you wiped system/etc then yes your phone will not boot.

I agree, I need to read more. I am learning every day. There is just no handbook that I can start on page one and start reading. So my limited knowledge is scattered. If flashing back to stock will fix it, then so be it. If you have any suggestions on what to do next or what to read, please tell me.
Oh, all the wipes I did was from the recovery menu. I don't think system was one of the choices. But it didn't boot before I did that either.
EDIT: Looking at the recovery menu, the only choices are
*Wipe data/Factory reset
*Wipe cache partition
So no system wipe choice there.
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!
You may have to use ODIN to flash back to stock. First thing I would do is see if the phone will get into download mode. It's volume up or down with power button and home button.
If you can get into download mode you will have to use ODIN on your PC to get back to a stock rom. Thats my advice at least.
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!
After flashing ma5 and rebooting, did you let it sit on the samsung screen a while? I forget what the circumstances are but sometimes it can take a minute or so on the first boot.
You could try this one.

This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.

The screen before the bootanimation. That's where my phone keeps getting stuck at. Doesn't matter if it's TW or AOSP. It will fully load once every 20 or so retries, but only on a fresh install of a ROM.
Is my phone in need of replacement? I mean, once it boots up, it's fine. It works as it should. But if there's any reason for me to reboot the phone, then that's when it gets stuck again.
I did notice that if I try to Flash a file that was on the Internal memory, it would fail...and my internal memory becomes corrupt (shows 0MB for internal memory)...until I format it...then its good again.
Has anybody run into this or something similar that maybe able to save my phone from having to be replaced? Thanks! In the meantime...I am going to try and replace my TWRP 2.6 to CWM...just for testing purposes....

Try to Odin back to stock and format everything for good measure. Then re-root and re-flash.

Good call...I totally forgot that option. I'll report back tomorrow!
I second this, but it would be perfectly fine to use the root66 firmware so you don't have to re root. It is 100% official stock, except for SuperSU is added.

Looks like I need to put my phone up for parts on ebay or something. It still gets stuck at the Splash Screen.
Is it under warranty or do you have insurance?

Nah. It's cool. Cause I intentionally didn't get the Insurance because of the Nexus phones' prices. Also I have many backups. Warranty is out also. It was fun while it lasted, but now I'm really interested in what the next Nexus/Galaxy device is going to be!
Just to be sure, have you factory reset?
Also try without your external sd card, without your sim card, anf wuthout both. I know it may sound odd, but its worth trying.

So I went into the Stock Recovery and did a Factory/Cache reset.
Holy Chocolate Milk Batman! I've rebooted the device 6 times now and no glitch at all! Now that was without a SIM and SD Card.
Trying it with the SIM/SD in...Booted fine the first time...Second time it rebooted itself once right after the initial boot. 3rd and 4th rebooted fine!
This is great! Now I can put my S2 away! Hahaha
:highfive: Doc for the brain storming!
It really didn't make sense that the phone would boot into Recovery/Download and flash and ODIN firmware, but not boot! It must have had a bad breakfast one morning...
I guess the TWRP recovery format function for the internal SD wasn't really a format?
Twrp and cwm won't format/wipe the internal sd by a factory reset. You have to specifically choose the right option for them to do this. It doesn't actually format I don't think because it would wipe internal sd, and the point was to preserve your data. If you select format data (I think) it would do the full wipe. Factory reset with stock recovery actually formats data so it will wipe the internal sd.
Glad you got it working right! Just keep an eye on its behavior and hope it doesn't start again!
