Hi, i have an I9195 and a huge problem.
Until recharge in the night, the phone shutdown for any reason.
I had flashed Cynagenmod 12.1 on it, so i have CWM Recovery. After it doesnt started and hang in the startscreen of Cynagenmod(the blue Alien or whatever it is ), i entered Rcovery mode and tried to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. Nothing happened and when i started Recovery i also got and Error:
Can't mount /cache/recovery..
I tried to format the cache and wipe it, but anything helps.
So i decided to go back to stock. i downloaded the stock rom and flashed it threw odin. But when i entered Recovery, the CWM Recovery is still there. This shouldn't, because the stock rom flashes his own recovery, didn't she? But well, i tried to start the Phone but hang in a bootloop. I only see the Samsung logo, then it restarts after a while. I think because i couldnt wipe the cache.
But well, so i thought about to flash TWRP Recovery. But well, get trolled by odin and my phone again, still enters the CWM recovery. When i flashed threw odin, no error occured and all flashes ended with success.
What can i do now?

So I woke up this morning and I was running CM10, goo manager told me I had an update so I applied the update and low and behold it was CM9 on boot. Needless to say CM9 would not boot because nothing was wiped. So I decided to go back and re-flash 10 (CWM touch). So wiped and it said could not mount user data. after re-flashing it again would not boot. so I downloaded odin3 and the stock sprint rom and tried flashing that. No dice Odin screen gets stuck on "Erasing userdata.." for like 10 minutes, after it gets past the sprint LTE animation and get stuck booting in the glowing samsung screen. Also I cannot mount /SDcard in recovery but i can mount the external. I also cannot adb to the device. any Ideas????

Sounds like odin flash is a success. When in recovery, can you wipe data/factory reset without error? That is a MUST after the odin flash. So boot into recovery and wipe

No dice. The default android recovery was put back from the stock odin re-flash, it comes up with "ERROR unable to mount /Userdata.." "Cannot Find /Userdata.."

Assuming you haven't already tried. See if a custom recovery can wipe or mount it. try to factory reset with TWRP (attched odin flash) and report back

I think My stock image was bad I re-downloaded one and ran ODIN again and it worked.
I have the Telus SGH-T989. Rooted, latest CWM Recovery Touch installed. Was running Darkside Evolution 7 and the phone would not "properly" restart itself - would hang at black screen with buttons lit up until I pulled the battery. Booted fine when I did that, but I didn't want to deal with it every time so decided I would flash a new ROM. Well, never quite made it that far... CWM hangs on "formatting cache" when I select wipe data/factory reset. After sitting there for a while, it restarted and went into a boot loop. I can get it back into CWM, but it continues to hang if I try formatting the /cache or installing a new .zip. I cannot get the phone into download mode to use ODIN, it only goes to the battery charging display or CWM.
I tried searching a bit, but it seems the other threads are having the opposite problem - can get into download mode but not CWM.
Anything I can do to fix this from CWM, or will I have to build a cable "jig" to trick the phone into download mode?
Kill the battery and try to get into download mode or try to get into cwm
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Well. I am now at a complete loss... I was letting it cycle restarting to run down the battery, and after the 30th or so time, it booted up fine and stayed running. Gonna hold off attempting updates or anything until I can rig up a cable jig in case it goes again.
I normally do...
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
go to Advanced
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe battery status
Fix permissions (just incase)
Reboot Device
wait about usually 3-8 minutes depends on the ROM. if it's longer then that then your stuck in a boot loop
this is all on done on CWMR v6.0.1.5
Please help
I am having the same problem. Also it is in bootloop and i am not able to boot the phone.
hi,
for the past hours i'm trying to flash skynote 9.3 after long time on some other 4.1.2 rom and i am having troubles after the flash, i wipe system, cache, dalvik, etc but after i select reboot now i get a prompt about root is missing with a No option and a yes (Install root) , the phone goes to samsung logo and then after a second reboot goes back to recovery! I have tryed twrp 2.8, cmw6.0.4.3 and phliz
i search througt the forums and the closest thing i came up is with this post
i have tried a stock firmware from odin first in case it was the bootloader...
any thoughts?
Hmm i dont know why but i have same problem on my Alcatel 4034x, until i bricked recovery and it booted into system without problem except now it looks like rom is poorly made, it automatically filled up dalvik and cache partitions and now i cant boot into recovery, fastboot or system. Its just stuck on alcatel logo. I also tried to flash it with sp flash tool, didnt work cuz drivers arent "signed" for some reason. Someone help me too pls
Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help
I had some old lineageOS installed. So, yesterday i got into a bootloop with my old S4 mini and the first thing i did was to reboot in Twrp recovery and wipe cache and dalvik but i also wiped data and system. Now my phone is in state were it can only boot in download, odin recognizes it and i am able to flash trwp but i cannot boot into it. Adb doesn't recognise my phone. Well, maybe it did once but no more.
I know i probably erased something i shouldn't so thats why i cant even load into recovery although Odin shows it got flashed properly. But thats not my problem. What i cant find are instructions on how to wipe everything and start installing from zero, just like i did when i installed LineageOS years ago. Currently i am downloading the stock Rom, if i manage to flash it with Odin then i can continue from there.
