I acidentaly formated data, so I had to LGNSPT to stock jellybean. I re-rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Later I decided I wanted to flash the venum rom so I booted into TWRP and I wiped both cache and dalvik-cache and factory rested by mistake because I wanted to make a backup. So when the wipe finished I did. I backed up the boot and system. Then I formated system and flashed the rom. Everything went smoothly, so I rebooted the phone and got stuck at the LG screen. I thought it was a bad flash, butI re-did the process multiple times. I did a restore which was the boot and system and that didn't work. While I was running out of options I just decided to reboot the recovery and it said I have to fix permissions for root and I thought that was the problem so I tried again. But it didn't workand everytime I tried I reboot the recovery it said I had to fix permissions over and over again. Is there a way I can fix this without a computer? Plz help.
If I have no other way of fixing the problem without a pc then tell me how I can fix my phone with one plz

LGNPST ZVB or teeny bins. Factory reset shouldn't wipe data.
Edit. My brain cramp. Without computer try another backup. Or., factory reset, then in advanced, tick all 4. Then do your restore.

Well... if you wiped /system and had already formatted /data, i don't think you can get it to boot without a computer. I didn't see /recovery listed in your restore and i think might be the issue.

If you still have Twrp, try reflashing it. 2.6.0.0 just came out and octhrope made a flashable zip for it in the TWRP thread.

I just had a similar problem but for a different reason. My rooted and unlocked started acting funny by asking me to turn on GPS when it was already on. I rebooted and got the LG screen, never, never to get better. Sprint couldn't do anything so I got a new phone. I suspect it may be a battery issue, or a power issue where the handset does not have enough power to power up. I paid $50 for Sprint to fix my first one since I did not carry insurance. Might try working something similar.

Thank you! That's exactly what I did. I booted into recovery, did a back up just in case something went horribly wrong. Then I did a wipe/factory reset, empty dalvix cache and viola. My phone was still rooted and I reinstalled Titanium backup and was able to put all my apps back on the phone. Afterward I did a back up of all my stuff, then I flashed the recovery and backed up the ROM. Everything is working better than normal. Thanks!
Good glad I could help......

Periodic SD to PC backup
As you've learned, a periodic backup of SD to PC is a good practice.
Same thing has happened to me, been backing up SD to PC approx. monthly since then.
Ok, So I wanted to change my ROM and I thought I did it right, but obviously that was not the case lol.
Pretty much I flashed the clockwork recovery, had it set to wipe the two things you want to wipe and then once it came back I installed zip from sd card, however, when I thought I was done and restarted my phone it just continuously loops back and forth back and forth.
I know there's a way to fix it since I have a micro sd reader, but how? I've got something REAL important to do tomorrow and not having my phone will be a huge mess.

I was on the stock rom and I was trying use the update-cm-7.0.3-vision-signed
I used Clockwork Recovery to wipe and it already had two options checked to wipe, Pavlik cache and wipe data or whatever it says... Then I flashed into clockwork recovery and I went to install from ZIP, I went and found the rom file on my sd card and pressed install, it took a few moments and was done. I also added the googlepack using the same method right after. Then when I thought I was finished I rebooted my device and its been stuck in a loop ever since.
Appreciate you trying to help, I guess I figured it out with a good ole fashioned guess hahaa.
I went and wiped my phone and data to factory, wiped the Pavlic (which I think I'm saying wrong lol) and then I installed the ROM again and it worked this time.

I would recommend flashing the superwipe from this thread. there are 3 downloads, Try the standard superwipe first. and use superwipe+ if you have GPS problems.
Super wipe automaticly wipes system, data and cache partitions. Flash the ZIP in recovery as you would flash a ROM.
And it is recommended not to use ROM manager for flashing and to always to it manually in CWM.
So download superwipe, flash superwipe, flash ROM, flash GAPPS and reboot.
I would also recommend flashing cm 7.1 because its an outrageously HUGE upgrade over the one you just flashed.

Yesterday I was messing on my phone (GSM Galaxy Nexus running AOKP Milestone 3) when the phone rebooted itself. It's done this a few times before so I thought nothing of it. However, now when the phone boots, it gets to the boot animation, plays it for a few seconds, and the the phone reboots again.
I have tried to fcatory reset, flashing a new rom, restoring a nandroid, but no matter what I do it still gets stuck in a bootloop.
Can anyone help me? I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks.
did you try wiping the phone, cache, and dalvik cache before trying to flash a new rom and nandroid?

Yeah I wiped all three before trying to restore the nandroid. I have just noticed that at the end of the nandroid backup there is a message that saying "error while restoring /data". Could this be the cause?
EDIT: I wiped my phone a returned it to stock and it's working fine now.

I'm having the same issues. I even tried to restore a nandroid which I had restored to just 2 days ago without problems. Now it's showing the infamous "error while restoring /data" message.
You say you wiped your phone and returned to stock. Do you still use stock? Do you mean you unlocked the bootloader again which effectively deleted ALL data and started from scratch? I did that because of the same error just about a week ago and it took me 2 days to get everything installed and configured manually. I hate the thought of having to go through this exercise once again in such a short time. Or is there a way to unlock the bootloader and restore a proven to be working nandroid later?
Also, is there a way to copy my data when I cannot boot up at all?
You may want to try unrooting and rerooting your phone. Just a suggestion...
Unless I'm mistaken this deletes ALL data which is what I wanted to avoid.
I'm currently downloading the new version 5.4 of the GNex TOOLKIT to backup all data from the virtual sdcard. Then I'll probably unroot and root again and try to copy the data back and use my last working nandroid.
Relock bootloader, then unlock it again, all in the same process!!
Then flash something like CND(any ROM will do, actually) now reboot your phone..
My Root toolbox can help you there, download the ROM-Full version though, this one has a couple of ROMs inside

SHG-T989 on TMO. I was running CM 9.0 but wanted to update to 9.1. NOW I CANT DO ANYTHING!!! Here is what I did:
1. Downloaded the CM9.1. 2. did a backup through CWM. 3. wiped data through CWM, "wipe data/factory reset. 4. wiped cache partition through CWM. 5. did a Darkside Super Wipe through "install zip from internal sd card" (last time installing CM9 i got stuck in the boot screen and had to go back using Darkside Super Wipe, reinstall CM9 and it worked fine). 6. Reboot to recovery. 7. installed CM9.1 through "install zip from sdcard". 8. installed gapps through "install zip from sdcard". 9. Reboot.
It came up and was stuck in the CM9 boot screen. So I went back in through CWM and tried to "wipe data/factory reset" and it wont work! Tried to go back to stock through Odin and it wont work! When i try to wipe data, the process starts and completes the "formatting /data, then gets stuck at formatting /cache. Does the same thing if I try to wipe the cache.
Im completely stuck and have no phone.
Which recovery version are you using? It might a corrupted recovery.
Try this recovery TWRP is cwm flashable:
SGH-T989_TWRP_v2.2.2.0.zip - 6.72 MB
Then TDJs super wipe and then install the stock ROM or any other ROM.

loaded up my nandroid which went fine, ended up installing twrp instead to see if that would help, rebooted into recovery and was stuck on the "teamwin" blue screen and wouldn't go further multiple times. so, put cwm back on (6.0.1.5) to see if the updated version would work. nope, same thing- can't do anything with the cache partition.

Ok, the wipe scripts in CWM recovery v5 are broken! Got experience there because I got stuck on the PACman ROM boot animation.
So, for factory reset, use Darkside Super Wipe. Install zip from sdcard and choose the wipe. From there, install rom, then gapps, and then use the Darkside Cache Wipe. After that reboot and it should work (hopefully)
However the most important thing is that the wipes don't work in CWM recovery v6! It will do bad things!
So yeah, use super wipe to factory reset. Use cache wipe for cache. But follow the instructions to install the ROM.

Similar problem, but cannot make zips to work - HELP NEEDED
HI,
I hope you guys can help me. My T989 got stucked in the splash screen when I tried to update to a nightly CM10 ROM. I entered into Recovery MOde (ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7), then tried to use Darkside Super Wipe... but apparently the phone cannot open zip files. When I hit install zip from sdcard and then select one of the zips (I have tried different ones) it says "---Installing: /sdcard/sgh-t989_darkside.supe.wipe.zip"... but it does not move from there. After 3-4 minutes it reboots by itself and gets back to the splash animation, but never goes beyond that point.
I tried to sideload using ADB, but the phone is not recognized by my PC.
As you said, I think that the recovery mode is corrupted... but I cannot install a new version using a zip
Is there another way to reinstall a version of CWM that allows me to install zips so that I can follow the process you suggested (super wipe + installing ROMS)?
Help will be very much appreciated
Thanks for your time,
Enrique

Do NOT use that darkside superwipes with CWM recovery v6.X.X.X. Does bad things.
Use the scripts only for CWM v5.X.X.X.

Either that or you can search the forum and Google around and see what you can find. I am in by no means an expert, but depending if you can access the recovery mode or not might be the key here.

I have no clue how to do it, and in the end you might just end up making the issue worse.... Like hard brick it.

Thanks again for the answer. A couple of days ago I tried to install a functional backup that I had from CWM... but it does not work It runs for a long while, then reboots... but it still freezes on the splash screen (my theory is that the backup is not recovered, as I know for sure that the ROM I backed up did work fine)... I think that CWM is corrupted and not working properly.
Then I tried the solution from the thread you mentioned... but adb cannot find the phone when it is connected
I found somewhere that I can use a samsung jig (microUSB with a resistance) to make the phone enter into download mode, then reinstall CWM using ODIN and then try flashing a stable ROM... What do you guys think?

Hello,
I am from the i9300 forum. My GF has a SGH-i747. When she updated it to official Jelly bean using Kies, all seemed to go well but then when she booted up to her home screen the phone would reboot. It would continuously do this over and over again.
So we had to use KIES to do a complete format of the phone and reboot it. This deleted everything and made it factory brand new again. This is that option where you have to type in your serial number into kies to do the emergency firmware recovery.
Well a few months went by and today while my GF was using her phone it froze and rebooted. It is now stuck in the bootloop. I don't understand why this is happening. She doesn't have the phone rooted nor has she flashed anything on it. I'm not familiar with the SGH-i747 so I'm not sure if this is a common bug that has been addressed for fixed.
Please help, my GF needs her phone for work and she's a few miles away from me. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Might've to get in recovery (hold vol up+home+power), clear cache, reboot.
If that doesn't work, back in recovery and factory reset, then reboot.

Yeah, I tried all that. I managed to back up her data so maybe we can restore her apps and information later. But this is similar to last time. I had her factory reset it, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, format system and format data.
We then followed by restoring her backup but the problem still persist. I might need to flash the stock ROM.
Could Fix Permissions fix the problem? It seems that the phone boots up to the home screen. While loading files, something at this point is causing it to bootloop. It will freeze after a few seconds and then reboot and repeat the problem.
Something is definitely conflicting within the first 30 seconds of booting up to the home screen. Any ideas?

Debloated stock ROM might be a good idea. When restoring, you might be bringing the problem right back. It should be very minimal (the needed stuff that you can't simply re-download or re-setup) to avoid issues coming back.

But this is very similar to what happen last time. I had wiped factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, format data and system, installed fresh new ROM and that boot looped too.
It took KIES emergency firmware recovery (where you have to type in your serial number) to fix the problem, but everything was deleted even the internal SD card.

I doubt fixing permissions will change much but could try it.
From the way you describe it, it sounds like a app or some bad data. Is she using a external SD? If so, try booting without it. If not, my guess is that there's a rogue app or something corrupted her data.

Thanks. Yes she's using an external SD card. I will have to get a hold of her phone and see what's going on. The first time it happened was because we upgraded to Jellybean. it happened right after so I don't think it was a rogue app. This time she just pulled her phone out of her purse and noticed it boot looping. Something sounds wrong with her phone... I think we might need to send it back for warranty repair.
Okay I need help. I have discovered the problem and it is the SUPERUSER app. When Superuser was updated it caused my GFs phone a boot loop.
Now that I put fresh rom and cleared everything her phone was working. But the moment I rooted the phone itboddly didn't come with SU, so upon installing SU nothing could access SU for some odd reason. So I found out you need a SU for Jelly Bean, upon installing this version of SU is when everything went to he'll and the same boot loop came back.

What rooting method did you use to root your girlfriend's phone?
If I'm not wrong, most of the rooting method -- if not all -- for the SGH-i747 involve the SuperSU app instead of the Superuser app. And I believe most of the custom ROM, if you switched ROM, come with SuperSU pre-installed. If you try to install Superuser (without removing SuperSU), might that be the cause of your trouble?

Perhaps, I will try and fix the problem again. We just got back from a movie. Thank you.
if everything doesn't work
here's what you should do
first go look for AT&T 4.1.1 stock rom
download ODIN
go to recovery by vol up + power + home
clear cache, data and dalvik
flash stock rom thru odin.
that should fix soft brick
