I had a problem recently after trying to do a "factory reset" from the android settings in CM12. Once the tablet will reboot was kept at a constant bootloop in recovery, appeared the display screen of the recovery and restarts. Do not know what to do, I tried to install a rom from Odin but it was impossible, in the end, the solution was to download the recovery stock and install it with ODIN, after entering mode download dozens of times, and many reboots after returning to stock recovery the message on the screen said "erasing" so I guess the tablet had the order to the "factory reset" but this will not be achieved from TRWP.
If someone comes to have a problem bootlop I hope you can fix it with this method, a hug to everyone.
translated with google translator.
A factory reset is simply wiping/formatting the data partition. Twrp could have done that.
Your mistake was attempting to do it from within a custom Rom. The device needs to boot to recovery to perform the reset. I'm guessing you would need cwm recovery installed to factory reset from within CM12 as I doubt it would work with stock or TWRP.

I'm stuck in a bootloop after unlocking my bootloader and installing and opening TWRP right away instead of factory resetting and restarting first. TWRP asks me for password and fails on all attempted actions, including factory reset. I saw in a video I should be able to boot if I factory reset via the stock recovery, but without the Factory Images yet I don't have the stock recovery. Does anyone have it/do I have any other options?
Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, saw is the HardBricked/Recovery thead, to fix: open TWRP, Format Data first, then Factory Reset, finally reboot.
Hi everyone
Sorry in case of repost.
I have a P5210 (Samsung Tab 3 Wifi). Once rooted everything was allright until I entered in recovery mode from the Rom Toolbox app.
I'm now stuck in a recovery loop mode and can't get out (CWM v6.0.4.7)
I've tried everything from factory reset / cache and dalvik cache wipe, to "fix" zips and so on. But nothing changes.
I've tried to reinstall CWM by putting a recovery image into a script and flash it through CWM. Seems to be done correctly, but when I reboot, it's still the same CWM (no update)
Eventually, i've tried to install some custom ROMs to start fresh : Every installation crashes at "WRITING SYSTEM PARTITION". I get black screen and a reboot.
And I've tried every custom Rom compatible with P5210.
Can you help me to get back to a clean configuration ?

Hi
It seems you were on kitkat rom which may have updated your bootloader to kitkat version. The CWM needs to be updated to work well with kitkat. I had similar problem with my SM-T210, and solved the problem after updating CWM as per this post for T210:

Your tab is different from mine so i think you need a fresh stock rom install using odin, then find an updated CWM for your tab.
Hi. I install twrp 2.8.5.3 to install cm12.1. i couldn't wipe data but i've installed cm12.1. when the phone booted, there was a screen which "to start android enter your password". i entered some numbers then it said you should reset phone. (i think wipe all data) but i can't use cwm because there is a loop. i tried flash another cwm but it still same even on stock recovery. what should i do ?
Hi all
Been having some issues with a Tab3 that was stuck in bootloop - it would turn on for anywhere upto 10-20 seconds then reboot, and repeat... I tried going into setting and selecting factory reset and it wouldn't allow it.
I then used Odin to flash TWRP recovery then flashed a custom ROM (can't remember which but it was completely de-bloated and had bare necessities). The bootloop continues and still not fixed.
When I boot into recovery I can select all options, re-partition, format, wipe cache/dalvik, etc... But even though I've wiped everything in recovery when I reboot the Tab everything is exactly as it was, as though I hadn't wiped it.
I've tried flashing a new recovery and stock ROM with no success... So, I'm wondering if anyone has ever had this problem and how would you recommend I go about fixing it?
Cheers
I've tried using Odin using re-partition, nand erase all, phone efs clear, PIT file, stock ROM, recovery, etc...
It's not hard-bricked as it's booting up, but for some reason it doesn't wipe or flash to stock and I can't find the solution!!
Any help is appreciated
Hey
I just used the factory reset from the android backup and reset option to reset my moto m. But there seems to be a problem.
It automatically restarted into TWRP, so I did a factory reset from there from the wipe section. But after all this, I cannot boot into the OS. I have stuck in the twrp loop.
What I have understood is that the OS is looking for a return code from the recovery after which it can boot up but the custom recovery is not able to return that code which could earlier be returned by stock recovery.
And the phone does not even power off now!
Please help me
Thanks in advanced.
