Is there any solution for boot loop in gt-i9192?
My phone was rooted. I was using s5 rom proyect and my recovery was Philz Touch Recovery. I was happily using this rom for arround 8 months. Recently my phone was responding slow and my storage was almost full. One day while watching youtube videos my phone got hang! I just removed the battery and tried to restart. But there was a failure and no vibration. The phone is simply dead. I connected my charger and of :crying:course there was no indication. Later I went through several post to learn how to revive my phone from hard brick. I downloaded debrick.img file and made a bootable memory card. This time I was able to switch on my phone but it went through bootloop. The recovery mode takes too long to load and wiping cache and dalvik cache or even reset was not possible because of some error like E: failed to mount ......
Then I went into the download mode. and installed a firmware from sam mobile. Later I flashed CWM recovery through odin successfully.
But this bootloop still exists. Whenever I try to go into recovery mode it still takes a long time. And istead of loading CWM recovery it loads philz recovery mode that was previously installed
Please help I am tired

Dude,
I am also having a bootloop problem on my S4 Mini GT-I9192...
My TWRP recovery was working, I was using version 3.0.0.0 for serrano3gxx, but when I tried installing a custom rom, the right rom for gt-i9192!!!! for some stupid reason the twrp recovery keeps thinking that my phone is gt-i9190 !!!! it is so stupid!!!
for this stupid reason I couldn't install the ROM !!!
I decided to install the right recovery for my gt-i9192, so I downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed
now, there was a warning to not install the zip using the recovery, but how could I install the recovery if I am unable to install anything with Odin!!!!
Nothing at all!!! I can't install anything with Odin, it just gets stuck!!!! So frustrating!!!!
And now afer I installed it said the installation completed successfully, but..... I can not even get the phone in recovery mode!!!!
What happened??? can anyone please help!!!
I am stuck in this stupid bootloop problem, and now on top of it I can't even go to recovery mode!!!! Nothing!!!
It is useless to do anything with Odin either, it recognises the phone, it says Added! but cannot install anything, it just gets stuck
WHAT CAN I DO?????
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
Check out
You can try this:
1. Download this file: openrecovery-twrp-3.0.0-0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed.zip and copy the file in sd card
2. Then go to recovery mood.
3. Install the zip file from sd card.
4. hope you will be able to install the correct recovery mood.

I had this problem once when I flashed an incompatible kernel, but I forgot how I got out of it. Best suggestion I have is take out the battery and put it back.
The "hard brick" you suffer the first time was likely a dead battery. The phone looks hard bricked when a battery is below critical energy, and not enough power is available to charge it with an USB. At that point, you had to wait for the energy in the battery to store up again, and then plug it into the USB to charge. Just a little power was necessary to get it charged again.
If you can still access download mode, flash the stock ROM baseband of your phone (you should know what this is). Your data will be wipe but at least you will be able to use the phone again.

hi,
i have a Gio S5660 that i bricked trying to sim unlocking it before putting it on sale.
the device can get into Download mode (no recovery mode though) but Odin 4 doesn't flash anything anymore, tried different roms (stock, moded, froyo, GB) nothing works, Odin 4 says PASS but after rebooting the screen keeps on blinking the ugly Samsung logo.
i tried to make a Heimdall flashing package but when i try to load a rom into the packager i get an error that says no Firmware.xml found.
is it even possible to use Heimdall or other Odin versions to flash a Gio, if so how do u make a package for that ?

After flashing with odin and get in bootloop, press the power button for 10 seconds, after restart press home and power until get in to recovery, there should factory reset and the most important - fix rfs or something, can't remember now exactly, the phone will reboot automaticaly and you have to wait some time to boot.
Which method did you try to unlock it with?
HEllo,
Same problem, keep blinking trying to boot with Samsung white letters.
FR
What, and how EXACTLY did you tried to flash with odin? (Which rom, Onepackage/multipackage, tar/md5...?)
Hello,
Still fighting to bring it into life.
Well the problem began when unlocking with the thread instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705
Everything seemed to go as expected but...
After that it never rebooted well, still in cycle on www.samsung letters firs screen.
Even so i tried to flash it with ODIN into Stock Rom 2.3.5 and the same problem.
Sometimes i still can have the "Recovery Mode" and flash other versions, i have the PASS message ok, but when reboot... same problem.
And with the Oneclick Unbrick recovery it fails...
Really worried abou this... nice brick!
Thanks to all that are trying to help!
At the beginning of the process it hads the 2.3.3 version locked to Vodafone.
Maybe you just misspoke, but you can't use Odin if your phone is in recovery mode. It has to be in downloading mode.
In my opinion:
1. Boot into recovery (are you using cwm?)
2. Do a factory reset+wipe everything (incl. dalvik cache)
3. Turn off the phone
4. Download the latest ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16979769&postcount=547
(S5660XXKS2)
5. Boot your phone into downloading mode
6. Flash with Odin (this is NOT "One package", you have to put everything in the right spot /boot, phone, etc/)
Hello again,
Yes i mean Download mode, i', flashing with ODIN but "one package Versions" i'm goin to try next your link already downloading.
Even if i can not unbrick it (wich is strange because i still can flash it) i must thans you very much for great cooperation!
Working...
You're welcome. When I bricked my phone, this is how I got it working again. I hope it works for you too.
Keep my posted...
Hello again,
Well just flashed again with ODIN (not One Package) and last firmware (2.3.5) and the report is that at the end i have the PASS confirmation but phone keeps flashing and does not reboot alone as supposed (waited 15 mn).
Unplug USB cable, battery out, battery in, power on and it returns to its "preference": alternates between dark scredn and those White letters saying SAMSUNG... infinite loop.
This is strange, i'm tired of seaching everything and this is not a normal beahaviour for this procediure.
I can follow all the steps... and at the final... same result.
Don't really know what to do next.
Once more, thanks for all!
Fernando
I'm sorry it didn't work. I have one last suggestion. The firmware you just tried to flash has a few md5 files. Rename them to tar, an extract them. The files you will find inside are the ones you can flash with Heimdall (data.rfs, system.rfs, etc).
I can't tell you much more, because I never used it (just googled a bit right now), but you can probably find a few tutorials about the subject.
Hello,
The fight continues and for all that i've read so far i almost sure that someting happend with the EFS partition.
I think that, case possible, the way is trying to flash an EFS new partition.
Someone knoes ho to do that?
Thanks!

When you can go to recovery mode with your gio you should flash ext4-formatter.zip(download,put on sdcard,go to recovery find `installzip from sdcard` and flash it.
the internal phone memory has to be in ext4 format ,if not you have the above problems.
after flashing you can install a rom.
By the way,i tryed flashing with heimdall-frontend ,i think it can ,but you have to rename it to a .tar gz file it wil be compiled automatic adding it to heimdall,but...than it says
`firmware.xml is missing from the package` , so...you have to ad(make or edit an existing one,and insert it in the package) that file... which contains name rom ed , than it probably works...
What is heimdall?
sort of odin but odin doesnt run on linux,for flashing
SOLUTION!!
Hey , I figured out a while back how to sort this out... Odin works,The reason though it bootloops is just that the \Data and \Cache Partitions are still in Ext4 Format... Stock Rom uses RFS... So The Solution is - After you Flash Your Stock Rom Via Odin, after it says "PASS" , Unplug USB then Reboot into the stock recovery mode by Holding HOME and POWER Button , Then format Cache and Then Wipe Data/Factory Reset (By doing this it formats back to RFS and then it can operate) ... then reboot to system ... And Voila , It works!!!! (Always works for me)... Hope this Helps Just Remember to USE ODIN (Heimdall apparently not Gio Supported)
Never thought I'd be the one to create a thread like this..
After I flashed the OKV4 ROM, strange things started to happen (this was after a full wipe). Apps kept force closing, etc. Later that day, when I picked up my phone, I saw the samsung logo flashing over and over. Making me unable to enter recovery.
Download mode still worked though and I proceeded to flash a stock firmware via ODIN. This did not help. Oh, and the Odin flash succeeded, without rebooting my phone though...
So, I'm still stuck with my phone which can't seem to get out of this strange loop.
HELP :C
I remember reading somewhere here that if you have flashed a diff FW now and then a possibility the last recent kernel is still in the system folder etc....this is maybe the cause of the bootloop.
Since you had confirmed going to download mode is possible..this may work logically... Why not do the following :
Get your phone rooted via Recovery (there is a thread here by The-E)..Once done flash arco68's CWM Recovery....Boot to recovery n do this :
Factory Format....Wipe n Clear including Delvik...Then go to Mount n Storage wipe every single folder...System...Data...Etc (this will wipe every single data left behind but I assure you the CWM will not be wiped) once done reboot n put the device into DL mode and use Odin to flash back to the stock FW.
From this moment the recovery will be replaced by stock version and the stock FW will be restored....once it boot up..Walla as I had done this over two times :
Best of Luck !!

I think you misunderstood me :/
This isn't the ordinary bootloop where the boot animation plays. It resets literally 2 seconds after starting. This makes me unable to enter the recovery at all. Thanks for the effort tho.
Tl;dr:I can not enter recovery mode.

Hi Bro...
I already discuss it in this Tread couple a days a go
You not alone bro
I ask The-E to mention all Wonder user to get safety flashing
Until this time we didn't get way to fix it yet
I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 (stable) installed; the other day it crashed while I was on Instagram, rebooted itself, and wouldn't go past the spinning circle screen. Tried rebooting it, now it won't go past the screen before that, with the blue Cyanogenmod man and the Samsung logo.
I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed with it, which I don't know how is possible being that the file systems are incompatible, so unless I used Odin to install CM10.1, I don't know how I did it without installing Clockworkmod Recovery over TWRP.
I've been trying to fix it for a couple days now (I'm kicking myself for not getting around to posting here sooner). When I go into TWRP it asks me for a password (which I've never set, I assume it's asking me because that's all it knows to do when the file system is incompatible), which I click cancel at every time, and when I try to do just about anything (including installing new ROMs or recoveries from within TWRP) it gets errors when trying to mount any partitions on the device, so I can't change anything on the phone at all.
I've tried re-installing TWRP AND Clockworkmod Recovery with Odin, and they succeed, but when the phone tries to reboot, the screen just turns off and nothing happens, and I have to take the battery out to do anything else.
So right now I'm totally screwed unless I can fix this thing. I'd like to not have to drop 200 on a Nexus 4 after only a year or having this phone I bought brand new, especially with the Nexus 5 already coming out later this year...can somebody help me???
EDIT: I should clarify that I can access recovery and download mode
If you can get into download mode you can flash a stock image to your phone and restart from scratch. Download the proper stock image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 and flash it in odin.

I should've clarified that I've tried this with a bunch of roms, and it just shows SBA2 in the status box forever. I left it for a full hour before and it never changed.
According to this page http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/bricked-android/ reformating your external sd card may help. It also links to something I personally have never heard of but apparently this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252 can help unbrick any samsung phone that's flashable with odin.
Oh yes, theres a lot of threads on forum about it, but i sort a lot of them and any tissue was unable to fix my phone.
Theres my problem:
I was updating CWM to 6 version from 5 so i gone to recovery mode and install zip from sdcard>
choose right file (it was in download folder)>
i restarted my phone in recovery mode>
then it stuck in samsung logo>
after minute it restarted and stuck again in the logo>
after some time it even dont show the samsung logo just black screen!
Now i can go only in downloading mode and nothing more.
Then i got afraid a bit cause i neved had such a problem so i started to search for a tissue for that. I tried odin but it was unable to find my device, oneclick unbrick as well. Battery was full when i was updating CWM.

Can you talk to your phone using the Android Development Toolkit? (That is, via adb and fastboot commands?) If so, you could try flashing a new recovery image. Good luck!

Try this:
Remove Battery, remove SD card
Attach your phone to PC via USB cable, without battery inserted
Open ODIN and now the work begins.
Hold the respective keys to get into Download Mode. Then while holding them insert battery.
It'll get recognized on ODIN

I gave my phone to service because i had a guarantee on it. If they wont repair it. I will try you advices.

They will definitely fix it, i had mine fixed up with same problem (Stuck on Boot Logo, Couldn't access recovery, just download mode)
Hi,
I was running LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab S tablet (SM-T800). I tried to update LineageOS. I went into the settings and downloaded the lastest version. However, the installation didn't go through. The download was successful, but an error message told me to try and manually install the update. I tried to go into TWRP mode to install manually the update. Instead of going in the recovery mode, I saw a TWRP app on the Google Play store. I tried and install that app. It went ok, however, I needed to reboot my tablet to finish. I did so, but after that, I got stuck in booting mode, between the TWRP logo and the Samsung logo. So the tablet was trying to boot in TWRP mode, but after about 5 seconds on the splash screen of TWRP, the spalsh screen disapear and then the tablet tries to boot in normal mode. It doesn't work, and the tablet reboots in TWRP mode, but, again, unsuccessful. It's a loop, alterning between the two splash screens.
I tryed to go into download mode and flashed the stock ROM (found on Updato) while using Odin on my computer. It worked. However, after the process, my tablet got stucked on the Samsung logo only. Now, it doesn't go in recovery mode (TWRP). I can only go in download mode or regular mode (but not working). Only the download mode works.
I don't really know waht to do. I tryed to redo the process with Odin and the custon ROM, but it didn't work better.
What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help!

Have you tried to reflash twrp via odin ? If that works go into twrp reformat your partitions, then flash a custom rom.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin on my computer. The process went well, but the reboot of my tablet that occurs at the end of the process got stuck again on the Samsung logo. It didn't get to TWRP mode. I tried to go manually into recovery mode by holding power+vol up+home, but it didn't work.
What else can I try? Thank you,

Are you trying to get to twrp from powered off state ? If not , get to power off state, then use key combo again to try to get into twrp.
Also when you flash twrp, in odi , there is a setting to prevent auto reboot, use that and try to get to twrp via key combo from download. Mode., finally tripple chech the key combo you are using is correct
Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried to get to TWRP from power off state. The TWRP splash screen appears, and stays on for about 5-10 sec. After that, the splash screen disappear and the tablet reboot to get stuck on the Samsung logo again. It's like if the TWRP booting process doesn't go through...
Thanks again for your help,
Ouch !!
Looks like you got a real problem , and getting into territory I'm not expert in, Ashyx is the real authority with twrp for this device, you can try to pm him and hope he takes pity on you ( he has been helping guys on this qa thread tirelessly for over a year, and is prob taking a well deserved break ).
Otherwise a few more suggestions,
Maybe your PIT is messed up , ( but you prob would not make it to twrp splash screen in that case )
Twrp may still be trying to execute the script from the original linage update and not finding something bails ( total guess ).
Try flashing a stock ( downloaded from sammobile or somwhere you trust ) rom via odin, and see if you can get into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and see if you can get stock running.
Try getting into twrp with device connected to pc ( helped in some wierd cases, you never know lol ).
When TWRP splash screen comes up, try some key combos , maybe twrp checks for a script abbort key combo ?
Checkout the TWRP github issues page, see if your bug is there and a solution, create a bug report or mail a dev directly.
Have a look at the TWRP code, maybe some clues ??
Hi,
So not much development here...
I tried to download the stock ROM for my device from Sammobile and tried flashing it with Odin (JOdin actually, I'm on Mac), but it says it need a PIT file. I let Casual fin the PIT file and it finds it. Only, after that my device does not reconnect to Odin even though it's still plugged in my computer. I tried to unplug it then plug it back, but then Odin says the PIT file is corrupted. I tried to restart my device, but still not connecting to Odin...
I tried getting into TWRP with my device connected to my computer. Still the same problem of rebooting while TWRP is booting (while it's on splash page).
No combo key seems to work to keep TWRP open and loading...
Didn't find anything on TWRP github and I'm not saavy enough to look into TWRP code.
So, I'm still stuck with my initial problem. Do any of ou have some advices/suggestions or can help me with my problem please? At this point, I've been without my tablet for more than a month and it S**KS!!
Thanks in advance everyone,

Use ODIN via Windows or a VM on your Mac.
Flash stock firmware then boot to recovery and factory reset.
Reboot and wait ten minutes.
Hi, thanks a lot for your time.
I will try that at work tomorrow as I don't have Windows at home. However, I did try to flash stock ROM with Windows initially (see first post for more info) and it didn't solve my problem. I wasn't able to access recovery mode after the stock ROM was flashed. Hope it's gonna work now and I'll be able to factory reset.
I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,
