[Q] CWM 6.0.1.4 soft bricked phone!! Help!! please

Here goes...
I updated to 6.0.1.4 and tried flashing CM October 10th nightly. I used darkside superwipe and darkside cache wipe then flashed the rom and rebooted. The phone got stuck in a boot loop so i let it set for about 15 minutes. After, I pulled the battery and booted into recovery. I attempted to flash again but the damn thing would simply freeze right at the start of the flash. Also, whenever I tried going "back" nothing would happen, just a blank screen with the CWM background. I'm at a complete loss at what to do. Any help would be amazing

Do not use dark side wipes on the new cwm6. they are outdated and not needed .

It happened to me before. This is what I did to restore the recovery.
1. Download cwm 5.0.2.7
2. Go to download mode. Connect usb to computer then plug into phone while holding volume buttons.
3. Use Odin 1.8.5 and flash the cwm file.
4. When you get your recovery back, restore rom from backup.
5. Upgrade to twrp for more stable flashing experience.

meh same thing happened
refer to fe1ixs's post but if u need to recover files like i did...when u reboot back to recovery 5.0.2.7, darkside cache wipe and then u should be able to boot to your homescreen, install goomanager, menu>install openrecoveryscript........
i pretty sure the reason for this bootloop is because ur not suppose to use darkside anything in 6.0.1.4.....cause they already fixed the wipe...but i recommend twrp for maximum stability

Will flashing TWRP erase my stuff?

Hello XDA. I have a n00b question. I have rooted my GNote2 using CF Auto Root and kept everything stock but now I would like to start trying some ROMs. I am away from home and don't have computer access so I was wondering if flashing TWRP from Mobile Odin will erase anything and also if it will what and how can I back stuff up before flashing TWRP. And also how to make sure I don't lose anything after that when I get ready to flash a custom ROM from TWRP. Thanks.

Will not Erase anything .... flash twrp and immediately do a nandroid and you will always have your stock setup. ..

Use goomanager app > menu > install recovery > follow instructions > get TWRP > make 1st nandroid > try ROMs > PROFIT!

Funny enough I actually tried Too Manager before I posted this and it kept have downloading errors, specifically failed MD5 checks. No idea why it wasn't working. About to try the Mobile Odin approach with the latest tar image for our phone and see if that works... Thanks for the help

Boot into recovery. Stock recovery, CWM, and TWRP, will all work. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot, you should be golden.

Doesnt odining a complete stock image pretty much just flash over the recovery and everything, therefore shouldn't be necessary to do that. I could be wrong though.

I cannot get into recovery only dl mode

Damn... Well if it doesn't boot, I really don't think they'll know you messed with it. You don't have a tell triangle do you?
You might be able to lie to the insurance and say a child did something to it...
If it doesn't work, then you have a very nice paper weight, which sucks..

Sometimes even in Odin you may have to do a factory reset after words to get it to boot had it happen all the time on epic touch... Had to Odin back to stock from cm because of the emmc brick error...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

Well if you flash twrp with odin and have it not autoreboot you should be able ti boot into brand new twrp shouldnt you? I never really messed with the 4g touch when I had it. But when I had the galaxy nexus I had to do that a couple of times.

You might have to rebuild the partitions.
Another option is to use ADB. Using the dd to from command making sure you dd recovery to the correct partition number. There is a ADB command to show the partition numbers. You'll have to read up on that making sure you do it correctly or you can brick your phone.

So did you flash a recovery through Odin? If not, do that then Vol Up + home + Power should bring you there

Then use adb something must be up with Odin. Using adb you can use the dd command to install the recovery right to the partition. Just do your research.

Help with Boot Loop

Hello All,
Was trying to revert back to stock from GB27 rooted because my USB wouldn't connect to the computer (would charge only). I was on GB27 rooted. I couldn't use a one-click because the USB port wouldn't work. I had AGATs recovery 0.3.2 and hit wipe data and now I'm stuck in a boot loop.
I can still access download mode (but can't connect the USB) I tried reinstalling samsung drivers, multiple ports, multiple cables, different computers, etc. No luck.
I can still access AGATs recovery. Any thought on where I should go from here?
Thanks in advance!
-Tim

You can use Mobile ODIN.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Grab a stock Rom zip (like a deodexed for example but do not flash an aosp rom with that recovery) and dump to your external sd via computer or use adb push while in recovery. Then flash from recovery.
That should get you to the point of functionality.
Where you go from there will be your call.

This would only work if his phone booted. Pretty sure mobile odin doesn't work from recovery:silly:

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

Of course. I know it was mentioned not to use AOSP but I had CM10.1 already on my SD card.
From recovery I flashed Wild for the night, booted and installed Mobile Odin and then flashed stock rooted odexed GB27 with a full restore / wipe data. I also updated Agats recovery to 0.3.5 which I understand fixed the boot loop with wipe data in 0.3.2.
Hope that helps someone.
