Between using different 4.1.2 ROM's and then wiping everything when Tweaked wigged out and f'ed up the phone with tons of popups and such, freezing and just getting sick of it... I decided to use one of the Android 4.3 FACTORY images - unroot, format EVERYTHING (I mean, EVERYTHING), and us Odin to install the factory image... the phone works fine for 2 days and with nothing on it, the thing pops up saying android.media and google play servgices has stopped working... I'm so tired of this, how do I just go completely BLANK SLATE and back to 100% factory? I thought I did that, but apparently not...
I'm not saying that you didn't, but did you try a simple reboot?
Maybe try also a factory reset.

Yeah, I rebooted and it still did it... and I just did the factory reset. Just so tired of T-Mobile and rooting... Never gonna root again lol.
did you try going to recovery mode and doing the factory reset in the recovery mode? it worked for me

I was running AOKP Jellybean and rebooted my phone which updated the OTA Jellybean update I was unaware of (not like Verizon ever gets things done) and now it bootloops. I can access recovery, ODIN, and have tried my back ups which none of them can load /data, and have tried to simply reflash the rom, which bootloops with the roms boot animation, and have tried wiping data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and nothing worked. Is there anyway to wipe it completely and start from there, or at least get a backup working/computer-saved backup on there? It appears I can't access the phone from my computer because I last used fast charge and now the computer doesn't know it's plugged in. Am I screwed?
try to format system in cwm...and reflash your rom

I second the factory reset.
Do you have access to Fastboot? If so, why not push commands to the phone and factory reset it and start fresh?
Sorry for the late reply, it still was bootlooping after a factory reset, I just got a replacement GNex. Thanks to those who replied though.
Hey guys I was running a nightly of CM 10.1 and enabled full disk encryption with a pin. I decided to rebuild my phone so I flashed a new ROM through CWM however when it booted it was asking for the encryption password. The pin that I used previously won't work. I've tried re-flashing, factory reset (CWM), and ODINing the phone back to stock. None of which removes the encryption. Wtf do I do?
Only way I know of -- factory reset after booting up

I can't factory reset from the ROM now because it won't accept my PIN.

From everything I've read and seen, once a device is encrypted the only way out is to ODIN back to the stock ROM.

Just boot into recovery like twrp and wipe data, the button in the bottom left of the screen in the wipe menu

Nope. I did it when on stock. A simple factory reset set it right.

Yes however as he stated already he factory reset in CWM and it did nothing. On top of that since he flashed a new ROM the device no longer accepts his PIN once booted so factory reset from within the settings menu is a no go. Thus ODINing back to stock is the only way.

This is really weird guys.. I ODIN'd the SECOND time to 4.0.4 and it fixed it. When I odin'd stock 4.1.1 it was still encrypted.....
Old thread but I restored stock recovery and that cleared encryption. Could not clear encryption with clockwork, philz, or TWRP.
running PAC ROM for the last few months, very few issues. yesterday, phone randomly reboots & stays in bootloop. I manually reboot into recovery, do a clean wipe & re-flash ROM. phone works fine until i try to restore apps/data via Titanium, the phone goes back into bootloop. figured i possibly waited too soon to restore my phone, so i held out until this morning. go to run Titanium & phone bootloops again. but this time when i reboot into recovery & try to do a factory reset, the phone reboots as soon as i select "Yes" & goes back into bootloop. Google produced nothing, help!!!! Thanks.
Reflash rom and try to determine which app youre restoring that may be causing the problem. Do you let apps auto update? Do you have backups set to rerun on a schedule?
You could also odin flash the official firmware and start over that way.

thanks for your response! I believe I found the culprint; a theme I downloaded yesterday. I was able to wipe everything except data & reboot, which caused the phone to "optomize" all of my apps. So far so good, but I'm not so sure if this is a temporary or permanent fix.
I dont auto update anything on my phone. Should I?
EDIT: spoke too soon, phone worked for about 2 hours & went into bootloop while idle. froze while deleting dalvik cache but rebooted & is back "optomizing apps". Looks like I may have to odin flash.

Dont auto update, I was just asking because if you did, it could point to a recently updated app as the problem.
It does sound to me like odin is your best option though.

Wow armond, the EXACT same thing happened to be while running Illusion. I couldn't factory reset in recovery, b/c that led to a bootloop when i pressed "yes". I wiped, cache/dalvik and phone worked for a little, had a hot reboot, and bootlooped again. By any chance are you running Ktoonsez kt747 kernel? And i eventually got it fixed thanks to Doc through ODIN. Best of luck!
I have a galaxy s3 t999 rooted with team win recovery v2.6.0.0
No matter what rom i use, wether it be debloated stock or custom rom, after a couple hours my phone goes into a boot loop and the only thing that brings it back is a restore to when i rooted and installed the recovery.
Baseband- t999UVDMD5
Ive tried
universeS4 v3
Stockoroma
z999 UVDMD5 (Modified) Stock TouchWiz
[STOCK] T999UVDMD5 | 4.1.2 | Deodexed
all of them after 2-3 hours bootloop.
Can anyone help me with this? ive looked everywhere to see if anyone is having the same issue as me but no luck....
Have you factory reset after flashing and tried letting it run clean without installing any apps?
If all else fails, Odin flash back to stock and try again. Odin flash the root66 firmware to have the phone rooted.

I factory reset before i flash. Am i suppose to factory reset after flash as well? sorry if thats a noob question. ive been flashin roms for a few years now and never had this problem.
If you're going to factory reset, I generally suggest doing so after the flash. Its not unheard of for someone to factory reset, then reboot normally, then go and flash the rom. By rebooting they rebuild the data which was wiped to begin with. Then when they flash the rom wonder why it won't boot till factory resetting again.
If you don't reboot, it shouldn't really matter if you do so before or after flashing.
I also usually do so before, but suggest the other way for that reason.

I figured as much. I just reflashed the firmware only, factory reset, wiped cache and del, flashed universeS4, factory reset again, let phone boot fully, restarted phone and am gonna see where the phones at in the am when i wake up. If it still does it ill return to stock/odin with root66 and see if that will fix. if not im stuck on stock which sucks.
if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.
Thanks doc
UPDATE*
so i flashed back to stock with odin. then flashed root66. wiped cache and del, factory reset, wiped cache and del again, flashed universeS4 factory reset.
Its been 7 hours so far and no bootloop. Putting my simcard in it now and hoping for the best. Thank you again.
Cool man! :fingers-crossed:

*2nd UPDATE*
Wake up this morning to the phone boot looping. This sucks. Does anyone have any idea what i can do to fix this?
Noooooooooo!!!!!
That definitely sucks man. My best advice is to odin flash official stock firmware (root66 ok) and try the same thing. If it continues then I would check if its still under warranty as its probably hardware related. Aside from that I'm not really sure what else to suggest...

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did not come across the question or answer in my search.
I have a Rogers Note II (GT-N7105/SGH-I317M).
It is running stock touch whiz 4.1.2. I had been running custom roms, but after their various issues, I am going with stock samsung at the moment.
I have TWRP installed as the custom recovery, and I used it to restore my backup I took right after rooting.
Not having any issues, but I am simply wanting to know if I can go into Settings >> Backup and Reset and the perform a factory reset of the phone to erase all apps and data.
I am not trying to unroot the phone or anything like that. This phone is a work phone and I am going to be turning it in for the Note 3 next week. I would like to erase my content before doing so, again, not trying to unroot it (I have the tools such as Triangle away, stock firmware and Odin) just want to do a wipe and reset it for the next person who may use it.
So again, the question. If I factory reset via settings will there be any issues or will it simply go back to a rooted blank rom with no apps data?
Or will I end up with a mess?
Thanks for the help!
Factory reset will only wipe your personal data that you entered nothing will affect system or any modifications on it you will see no mess just a clean phone

So I essentially will have a rooted phone with a romantic that is set back to stock? Which is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
The fact that I have twrp installed makes no difference?
Exactly it will not affect system you will have clean stock rooted with twrp installed

I did this many times before with rooted and romed htc devices running things like cm and insert coin + sense but I wasnt sure how pick an already picky Samsung rom would be when rooted.
