ok - been a couple of days now but I think I've tried everything and I do not know what to do at this point.
Been using and upgrading on the CM 10 nightly builds. Been very happy with it until the other day. I upgraded on the 7th just fine and then used the phone for a couple of hours without issue. Got home, ate dinner then went to MyColorScreen.com to see if any new sweet screens came in. While browsing on my computer, I tried to access the phone and the touch keys refused to work but I could get in to the OS and the touch screen works.
I thought, well, OK - perhaps something got munged in the update. Tried to go back to the previous build and it started boot looping as soon as the OS comes up. Came over here to xda and began searching - been searching now for 3 days without success I can't find anyone with the same issue.
At this point, I've tried restoring 8 different NAND backup that all previously worked great. I've tried installing the OS again via TWRP and it all installs fine but boot loops and when it does the keys do not work.
I've also tried installing nearly every version of every JB option on XDA and I've tried going back to stock. All without success.
I also tried resetting it all via ODIN and here's where I think the actual problem is. I can START the phone in Downloader mode but when I get to the point the press Volume Up to actually BEGIN Downloader mode, it goes no further and yet, I can get into TWRP and do everything in there that TWRP does normally.
Further info:
CM 10.1 nightly until the 7th of this month when the problem began.
TWRP 2.5.0.0
SGH-T889 phone,
Does anyone have ANY idea how I can get this thing working again?

Hi all. My finicky T989 is stuck at the Android 4G screen and will not boot past it. Some background on the phone, about a year ago it was dropped in water. Immediately place in rice and after a couple of days it worked fine, with a few odd quirks. Initially the camera LED stayed on all the time, so i didn't use the phone for a couple pf months and when I went back to it, it worked fine. It doesn't like any roms other than TouchWiz, CM or AOKP versions give me all sorts of errors when running, normally I cannot access any of the phones memory.
So.....on to my current issue. The phone has been running fine, but last week told me the headphones were plugged in when they were not. I rebooted to see if it would fix the issue, but the phone is stuck on the Android 4G screen. I can access recovery (TWRP) and download mode, I have reflashed the installed ROM, which is a stock rom titled "UVMC6_HERCULES_TR_STOCK_-IQ_RIPPL-H20" and the phone still sticks at the 4G screen.
I have a backup, but it's a couple of months old. This is my wifes phone, so the lost apps are no big deal, she doesn't use too many to begin with. The big loss are the text messages. Since I can still access recovery and download mode, is there any way to pull the messages from there? My TWRP version is 2.6.0.0. I've tried to backup the data portion of my current rom, to save the messages, but it fails.

Hey! How was it going on finally? Did you try pyraxiate's suggestion?
If it works for you please let me know coz I don't want to try the complicated method that turns out not applicable.
Hey guys. As the title suggests, I can't boot my Note 2 (sgh-i317). It is stuck on the AT&T logo and while it's stuck there it vibrates slightly every 5-6 seconds. I tried changing my screen density to 240 and it worked for a bit but annoed me. then I went to change it back and got this problem. I accidentally set it to 360 I think though, instead of 320. I have wiped the cache. I have wiped the data. I have installed roms countless times already with Odin. I'd imagine my reset counter is at over 10 just from today.
I've been searching on google and these forums for hours and have seen many suggestions, but none of them have worked. The farthest I have gotten was to get the phone to boot, but once I start going through all the setup stuff I begin getting error popups saying that Touchwiz home has stopped responding. As soon as I push OK the error immediately pops up again. I seriously can not do anything with my phone.
Is there any way to get a stock build.prop file somewhere for this phone, and if so, how would I install it if I can't even boot into the device?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have no idea where else to turn here. Thanks!

Do you have a backup to restore from recovery ??
If not....then power down the device and remove the SD card and place it into a PC card adapter...
Then download or copy over a suitable rom...
Then place the SD into the phone and boot into recovery...
Fully wipe the device and flash the rom of choice...
Reboot....set....profit....g
Edit:
Are you certain that your power button is not stuck ?
If the method I suggested fails... and rebooting occurs with vibration...then your power button is suspect....g

Thanks. Well I got it to boot finally, however there's been a couple issues since. It's on 4.1.2 right now...
1. Whenever I try to officially update to 4.3 through the settings, it downloads, then when installing it ALWAYS fails at 25%.
2. This is a big issue. My data connectivity is gone. I have no 4g access period. If I'm not using a wifi network, I can't do anything online, period. I've reflashed numerous times, and can't get it to recognize the network. I can make calls just fine, just no data.
I've tried wiping data and going to factory reset, but this doesn't help in any way whatsoever. I've popped out the battery and sim card and reinserted after a few minutes, still to no avail.
The funny thing also, last night my friend, who has the same phone, updated to 4.3 and got the EXACT issues I've been dealing with. The ONLY thing in common is that we have both rooted our phones in the past. When I first got 4.3 it worked fine. It wasn't until I rooted that these issues began. My friend's phone was not rooted, however it had been in the past. I'm thinking that this 4.3 update has an issue with phones that are rooted or have been at some time. I don't know how it can tell, but that's all I can think of. his phone now is also a doorstop, like mine.
K, fixed data connectivity from another thread here. For some reason, even if I wipe my system, it seems to still keep settings intact. In this case, nothing set in APN. Seems the more I try to fix my phone, the more problems show up.
If you updated to official 4.3...then yes ...a whole new host of problems are yours until the devs figure out the locked bootloader and it's knox flag...
Backups won't restore....and so forth...
Read around ....you'll see...g

Wow it has been a long 24 hours. I want to go ahead and appoligize,...I have a really bad memory. Sunday I went from Task650 AOKP (Android 4.3) to Validus 4.1 (Android 4.4.2) . I cleaned everything before flashing and then installed the supersu and gapps as stated in the op. Yesterday I found out I had a wifi problem, not sure if I was able to connect before or not. from this point until I try back to stock i get a popup stating that media has stopped or media storage has stopped and it happens progressively more often as time goes on. I tried dirty flash and it didnt work so i thought i would try a new kernel. I had never tried flashing kernels before but i read up on it and seemed very simple. so I flashed Ktoonsez KT747 kernel, i also flashed EMJB modem to see if there was a difference. afterward when i looked in settings - about phone under kernel version it said (not exactly but best i can remember) 3.4.77-cyanogenmod .... dirty KT747. i couldnt find anything about this but i didnt think this was good. i dont remember if i tried reflashing or doing anything to fix it right then or not. but at some point late yesterday after a reboot my lockscreen was transparent (might have been before), background was black, status bar was gone, when i recieved a call there was no popup it would just ring but i could go in to phone and it said return to current call but i couldnt do anything to answer. I could call backthough. i did still have notification on the lockscreen. xposed fimware was also disabled so i figured that ruled out any issued from it. I was getting aggrivated. i read up a little more. read suggestions to flash back to stock periodically. I figured i should try that. BIG MISTAKE!!! I still dont know why it didnt work but i tried plenty! before flashing the EMJB modem I had DLK3. so i thought that meant i would be ok to return to stock because i never upgraded my bootloader. when i flashed it with odin it went all the way through and restarted the phone but got stuck on samsung logo after at&t splash screen. so i odin flashed cwm booted into recovery and restored a nandroid backup (life saver!!). this worked and i was back on AOKP with DLK3 modem but not satisfied and feeling a little safe to explore knowing that i had a safe return plan unless something went detrimentally wrong. so with my modem saying DLK3 and my rom on 4.3 instead of 4.4 i decided to try back to stock again and use the true stock instead of rooted stock. (WORSE MISTAKE!!) ODIN failed. my heart dropped i was terrified. I decided to download and try KIES but it wouldnt connect to the phone after downloading the firmware. I tried odin flashing root stock again and if finished and stuck on samsung again. so i flashed cwm and sideloaded Validus to get back to 4.4.2. seems to be working good but now to get to the issue. ater i got it back working i got a notification that sdcard was removed unexpectedly. before anyone directs me to one of the hundred threads with this title my issue is with internal storage not the external sd card. i have seached it quite a bit but i cant find anything like my situation. it seems that if i go to /storage/sdcard0 it is empty but i can access it from any of the following locations and its not empty.
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
I do not understand this.
Anyone that has any helpful information thank you in advance.
update : it happened again today. my phone died during the night and when I turned it on just now it popped up the notification SD card removed unexpectedly except it popped up and went away really fast like 10 times. still the only thing missing is storage/sdcard0

Hello, T mobile GS4 owner here. I think I first posted this question in the wrong forum. Hopefully this is the right place. I wanted to post in the Liquidsmooth thread, but was unable to.
I just signed up because I'm having trouble flashing the latest Liquidsmooth rom. I've been happily running Liquidsmooth for many months now, and my current version is from 6/21/14. I haven't had any problems flashing until now.
I've tried flashing the last 2 builds and keep getting the message "unfortunately themes provider has stopped".
It appears as soon as the phone boots up after flashing. It's right in the middle of the screen and won't allow me to do anything. Every time I click on OK, it comes back immediately. I have searched high and low for a way to fix this. So far I've tried reloading, rebooting, re-downloading starting again from scratch. I always clear the data and cache and do a factory reset. I have attempted flashing at least half a dozen times and always get the same annoying message.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
BTW, I'm also flashing the latest full version of GAPPS at the same time.
Hello everyone. Since the Title has character limit im gonna have to explain myself here better.
Ive had my HTC One M8 for 4 years now. Pretty much since it came out in 2013. I installed ARHD back in 2014 and its been working just fine ever since. A couple of months ago i decided to go back to 45.0. Everything went smooth and everything works just fine.
But a week ago the phone decided to just go woopdido and it wouldnt open up any apps in Playstore although i could still see them. So i tried to restart it and when i did it got stuck at the HTC Logo. I tried to restart it a few times but it kept getting stuck. I was super confused due to the reason that i havent really done anything with my phone besides since the day i installed ARHD 45.0. I got desperate so i reinstalled it but this time with 53.1 and that went fine too except for one fishy thing and that was that i remember before when installing ARHD, when it got 30% it wouldnt take 2-3 minutes for it to finally start installing the ROM. It would take a couple of seconds for it to start right away and be done.
After installing 53.1 phone worked just as fine except for the fact that it was slower than it has ever been before. Which was also weird. Either way. After a couple of hours of it working, setting up every app i needed i restarted it and again it was stuck at the HTC Logo. Welp i guess..
So after that crap i went back to 45.0 again. It went good and all except it keeps getting stuck at 30% for a while but whatever. Going back to 45.0 though didnt help. Keeps repeating the same crap after a while. After a restart when having the phone doing nothing for hours gets it stuck at HTC Logo again. I literally cannot do anything with it atm and i have no clue how to go further from here as i have not had this before.
I did another reinstall of 45.0 just now and this time i also wiped the System, Data all that which ive never done before hoping that it actually helps.
The HTC One M8 is rooted. S-Off everything you really need. The current TWRP version i have is 3.1.1.0.
Update: Apparently after reinstalling any version of ARHD and then updating SuperSU breaks the phone. Any ideas?
