stuck and android loop, when everything should be normal

well i have had cyogenmod 3.6.8.1 for awhile and everything works perfectly and smoothly but i just turned off my phone to switch to my new 2400mah battery and when i turned it back on i got past the splash screen but now its stuck at the android boot loop so i thought wait acouple minutes...and well.. no luck. i dont get it...any ideas?

try fixing the ext file system. It could have been messed up if you just took the battery out. If that doesnt work, try wiping and reflashing the ROM. Btw, does it work with the normal battery in?

wipe
if you can get into recovery then u know everything is fine. if u can get the update file for the rom on ur sd then wipe and flash it see wht happens then

Usually these problems can be taken care of with a wipe and a reflash of the ROM. Hopefully you performed a nandroid backup and can restore your settings. If not, there is really no other way but to wipe and reflash and lose your data.

well i shut the phone down properly but i tried what you said anyways... and on the first try it had an error and told me to run it manually..but i tried again and it worked so i rebooted but still no luck. i did a nandroid backup recently...could that possibly have anything to do with it?
and also...when i did the nandroid awhile ago...it got stuck at the boot loop as well...so i did the wipe/update and it worked. and now i turned off my phone for the battery change and this happens....it seems like maybe its something with the rom? idk...i dont see why a nandroid would mess anything up

i suggest to wipe and reflash. That should fix it.

Set up ADB using the guide in the sticky, and connect your phone through USB
type
Code:
adb logcat
as you boot your phone
see if anything is repeating. if nothing ever shows up, its possible that the battery could be defective

Pull the battery out and try to turn it back on
Its not even close to bricked.. DONT flash a radio, that will brick your phone if you dont use the right ones.

Trust me you'll know you bricked your phone when it wont come on whatsoever. You just did something wrong like forgot to wipe or the least likely got a bad download. Reboot to recovery wipe everything then reflash the zip.

good deal. and just fyi, the first boot on a fresh rom install can take easily 10 minutes or more.

i9001 perma-brick?!

Ok well first i gotta say sorry if this is the wrong thread, first one tho.
So, 2 days ago i got a i9001 and it was already rooted.
I installed cwm via odin(cuz i wanted cm10) but little did i know the cwm was messed up
when i first booted into it i saw "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" since im kinda noobish
in all of this i ignored it(i still do, dunno if that was the cause)and when i rebooted from cwm just to
get into the android system to call a friend before i start installing cm10, the phone booted into cwm
again, i though i pressed smth so i rebooted again, and then i knew it was a stuck bootloop.
Then my brain made up this weird conclusion that if i install cm10 and gaps maybe it will fix the bootloop
.. so i did and it did nothing, i wiped the dalvik cache and everything, and then in a german forum i found
this little thing "9001_stock_recovery-signed.zip" i flashed it with cwm aaand now, every time i boot it
with the power key, it shows the samsung first logo, that only says SAMSUNG and then it goes black
it does nothing after that, if i try to volume up+power it boots past the samsung logo but goes into some
box with an arrow coming out of it and some android logo, if i try to enter download mode, it says RAMDUMP
MODE Cause: Force Upload.
Thats all i can give as info. If anyone has the good heart to help me.. please do so.
And please be really specific like ur explaining to a total newcomer.

have a read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30415128

Thx, but i just lost all hope, after i fixed everything.. Installed a stock 2.3.6 i tried to flash another cm10,by
Some doomsday dude and the camera wsnt working so i decided to try the other cm10 that bricked my
Device , after flashing it and gapps i pressed reboot system and after it went black to reboot i expected
The usual samsung logo but unfortunately it never came, the phone is now literally a brick, no sign of
Life i tried to get the battery off and press the power button for some minutes.. Nothin happens..

THIS - to go back to stock firmware
After flashing CWM and you get stuck in a bootloop into recovery, do THIS.

Good Luck

I have the same issue, I took my phone to a service and even JTAG failed, it seems the emmc is broken. How can a ROM update physically damage the memory?!

JTAG has failed?
The emmc-chip has a special function for erasing partitions. this function is only useable by kernels over 3.x. it is bad that our emmc-chip has a bug. when using this function of the chip to erasing the data partition, the chip damages itself. the data partition cant be used anymore.
for more infos read in the threads and in the links for sgs2 and note.
if i'm wrong please correct me

So is there absolutely nothing I can do to recover my phone?

i would say no.
but if you store the data partition on ext.sd and make a rom that can use it, it is possible to use the phone as normal... like Ivendor did for a short time (if i'm right?)

Can you please detail the steps, what should I do?
Right now the phone is hard-bricked, absolutely no signs of life, can't enter download mode, nothing.

does odin detects your phone? nothing on the screen?

Not sure about Odin, but besides that nothing on the screen, not even when plugging the charger. I took it to a phone service to rewrite the memory with JTAG, and they said it hangs at about 20% and the memory is damaged. I don't understand, the phone is almost new, all I wanted was a lousy update from CM9 to CM10...

i assume that the problem at 20% was the damaged emmc data partition
edit:
but theres a big chance that i'm wrong and your chip is really fully broken. maybe you get the people at service center to be interested in your phone. maybe they can give you more information.
i don't know my phone is working.
what recovery had you installed to update? what did you do? wipe data/cache,... ?

Yes, probably. So, you say there's a posibility to use an external SD card as data partition?

yes, but you must be able to flash roms to your phone,.as example.by odin.
or the JTAG repair center can flash roms?

Probably they can, but I think I'll buy a JTAG interface and study this myself...

I think it takes a lot of time to know how things work...
what if your phone memory is completely dead? the you have bought the JZAG box for nothing...
but for sure it will be interesting how it works.
how much does such a interface cost about? (^^ more than a quarter of a phone? )

I found one at about 12$... I think it might be worth a shot
But yeah, I'm aware it would take some time until I can handle it well, and I'm not sure I have it.
I also considered buying another i9001, but I'm not sure what caused mine to fail, I want Android 4.1 in the new one, too, it really bugs me off I don't know the exact cause of the failure, so I won't repeat it again. I did everything exactly by the steps I found here on the forum, I used ivendor's ROM and updated CWM to 6.0.2.8.

be sure it is not only an adapter.
someone knows if you can write parts of the memory with something like these?

[Q] Stuck on boot animation after flashing Stock ROM

Alright, here's the story. I needed to unlock my phone, so I looked up a few guides. I found one that I like and was checking to see if the ROM I had installed would allow me to enter in my unlock code after I got it, unfortunately it wouldn't. So I decided to flash the stock ROM for my phone. Odin did it's job, and everything seemed to go alright, but after Odin finished up, the phone still remained in the boot screen. I let it sit for a while, and it continued on for about half an hour. I restarted it, went to go do some things. I came back hoping that my problem would be solved, but nope, still a looping boot animation. Has anyone else had this problem, or have some idea on how I might work around this?

Enter recovery and wipe data
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app

[B]thats the hardest brick man[/B]
happened to me while doing something stupid to my kernel... believe me it is impossible to fix.
i took it to my ISP they said its liquid damage but it wasnt i knew... they said BER(beyond economic repair)
so i took it to samsung and collected it after 10-15 days. from the looks of things they changed my motherboard.
you can return it even if warranty is void(they cannot tell if its void or not)
mine only blinked when i tried recovery,download or charge and showed logo when i turn on only.

Hi There,
You will need to enter the Recovery Mode and Have a Factory Reset and Wipe Dalvik cache. If the device doesnt enter recovery you can force it to do so using JIGG or Heidmall. After wiping if still no progress. You should check whether you have flashed the correct stock rom according to your Country.

[Q] New Boot Animation, Phone Stuck

Has anyone noticed a new boot animation pushed out by Motorola?
I'm sitting at work today and all of the sudden I have triangles in my notification bar and it says data blocked and voice blocked. I ignored it because I don't get reception in my office but when I got outside my service never came back so I reboot the phone. I immediately notice a new boot animation.....Only one problem.....My phone will only show my my live wallpaper after boot and nothing else. It wont let me do anything....Shows my notifications on the lock screen but when I unlock I get my live wallpaper and nothing else.
Any ideas? Did anyone get this new animation?
Here is the new animation, I didn't upload this......https://youtu.be/4NgbsuXA2rY

Thanks a lot mate ????

So again this happened.......New animation and my phone is now stuck and wont boot up completely.
After the new animation gets pushed my entire phone loses service and when I reboot I have nothing.
I have a custom boot up picture instead of the ugly device unlocked message, does that have anything to do with it? Can't do anything, it just sits at a black screen and shows notifications but wont react or open them.

I am having the same issue. Has anybody had a luck resolving it short of a factory reset?
My phone battery died last night. I plugged my phone in, let it get about 15% charge, then tried to turn it back on. The phone boots like normal, but after the boot animation goes away, the screen is black. Active notifications still seem to work, and I can hold the power button to get the Power Down option. I can boot into the bootloader & access recovery just fine. However, my phone is fully stock (no root, no bootloader unlock, no anything). I can't seem to access ADB when the phone is powered normally (ie, when I'm at this mysterious black screen), but it's possible that USB debugging isn't even enabled.
So far, I've found a bunch people who've said a full factory reset will fix the problem, but I'm looking for another solution, or at least a way to grab my data before I reset. Since my bootloader's still locked, I can't seem to use fastboot boot to boot into TWRP, and I can't find any other way to access my data to copy it off the phone. I've tried wiping the cache using the stock recovery to no avail. Any suggestions?
