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.

I'm new to this phone stuff and I tried downloading Valhalla v1.3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1203591 from recovery mode and my phone rebooted, and now it keeps restarting over and over. I have access to download and recovery mode only. I don't know any ROM or flash business so please help.
I just realized that i tried to download a galaxy 4g theme on my tmobile galaxy s2
if you did a nand back up and your able to go to the recovery mode flash your back up image in other terms if you backed up your rom do a restore.
if its still booting u have a chance to save it

boot into recovery, plug your phone in with your usb cable to your computer, under recovery go to mounts and storage, select mount usb storage, once your compter detects it, drag and drop the rom to the root of your sd, go back disconect the phone, go advance reboot recovery, and now wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, install zip from sd card and select the rom

A brick does nothing, just lies there ...
Bootloop starts to boot then restarts , hence the loop part ...
When you say your SD card memory is low, you mean your external SD?? Why not delete something to get the rom on it ... Should be able to put it in a PC and remove something , if you are talking about your external ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Ahh, ok. Then yeah, I'm in a boot loop . It's only a 120 mb external SD. Even the stock ROM won't fit there lol.

If you are using TWRP, sideload a ROM to it and flash that. I think even from CWM you can adb push a ROM to your internal memory. If all else fails, reboot to download mode and ODIN back to stock.

Odin'ing a stock image/package may be a littler easier for me, im a complete novice when it comes to ADB..etc
Well I was able to what I think successfully use Odin to flash stock firmware. The only thing I question is that, I still have all of my pictures that were stored on the phones internal memory.
In stock 3e recovery I also have more options rather then just wipe/factory reset and clear cache....
You really should Google how to use adb, there are some great tutorials from XDA. Everyone is a nub at first. Lol.
Flashing stock doesn't wipe the internal memory, it just does the normal wipes and formats system.

I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

sounds like you're having similar issues as bmp7777, have you made any changes to your storage? as in the whole sdcard0 stuff? are your backups stored in sdcard0 ? when you flash a aosp rom it changes the way your storage is set up make sure you put your important stuff on sdcard0

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
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.

Worse than I've done before. Whatever I did I got black screen no matter what volume rocker power button combo I use. I have lgnpst installed on my computer but it doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. Not sure what to do with that. Everything worked well when I rooted.

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.

Alright, im not completely new to rooting but I have encountered a new problem.
I rooted my phone through odin (galaxy s3 T999), had some hiccups with that so I ended up downloading the stock rom tar and reflashed using that, problem solved good to go still rooted. awesome.
So, I attempted to flash the cyanogen rom using clockwork mod. it wouldn't come past the load screen, went into clockwork mod to recover my backup but for some reason it wouldn't let me access the SD card to get it. next thought was to go back to odin and flash the same file I used previously to get back to where I was, for some reason this is not working, I can get to download, use odin to flash it, says success and all that, then upoon rebooting it stays at the Samsung loading screen.
So from there I went and downloaded the GS3 toolkit and tried all of their recovery files, all having the same issue. about 18 flashes later I tried reformatting from the phone itself, same issue with the samsung logo being stuck. And now, I am currently baffled, anyone wanna help me out? I have a feeling it has something to do with the .pit option on odin, but I am not that advanced and its just a hunch. so...thanks in advance guys!
So I understand not to touch pit, roger, reading other posts makes that clear, but still cant find a fix, the top right of my download says
ODIN MODE
Product Name SGH-T999
Custom Binary yes: 19 counts
Current Binary Samsung Offical
System Status Custom
Qualcomm secureboot Enable
Okay, what is the current state of the device?
Whst do you see when you boot into recovery ( take battery out of phone the put it back in and do the following: hold volume up, home button and power button, let go of all buttons when you feel the phone vibrate and blue text flashes in the upper left corner of the screen)?

You flashed a rom that had cwm 6.0.2.3 or did you flash a rom while on 6.0.2.3?

tried to factory reset and it does the same logo stuck business. That was the last thing i tried after attempting to back up and reflash numerous times. tried flashing again recently, it will install CWM if it is attached to the rom but still gets stuck on the logo. tried re installing odin as well, it is working as usual, starts, restarts the phone, sits awhile, success. then i restart the phone and never get past logo.
I would do what Doc said.
If it still doesnt work, download a rom of your choice (in the t-999 section) and do a full wipe before flashing the rom you picked.

When flashing a new rom, you have to do a full wipe or youll run into problems like you are currently having.
If you dont know what a full wipe is, then stop what you are doing and put your phone down. Just about every rom thread here on xda explains what a full wipe is, it will be in the first post of the thread.
Like I said, find a rom you like in the t-999 section and flash it after doing a full wipe.

Looked it up, that is what I do by default, didn't know thats what was considered a full wipe, just tried it with similar results, didn't know about the dalvik cache though. im on a work computer so I cannot currently DL a new rom from the site, I hope thats what the issue is, but I still cannot see why my other ones would suddenly not work.

I'm just not sure what you mean by it installing CWM attached to a Rom? Recoveries shouldn't be included with a Rom.
Odin flash the root66 firmware, then reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all user data, including your internal sd card. Then try rebooting again.
