Guys i've bricked my phone once already with this damned app called ROM manager, luckily the samsung guys replaced the motherboard, but it was loaded with dreaded stock 2.2 FW after much thought i decided to upgrade it back to 2.3(i've done it many times) but suddenly somethin went wrong! Odin displayed pass message but my galaxy mini won't boot beyond the samsung logo!
i cleaned cache through recovery console but no use, reflashed with the same firmware damn it didn't work either. Finally i collected the courage to wipe data/factory reset through the recovery console n guess what it worked!!
bit i rele wanna know what caused the bootloop in the first place??
Sorry but wipe the base after the flash.
I am not surprised that he fell in bootloop. Me too this happened if I did wipe.
just reflash the firmware...if it doesnt work, try a different firmware...
i tried the asian version of gingerbread on my phone...and i had the same problem...but the european version worked for me...
try to wipe data/reset and wipe cache partition and also dalvik cache
After and before all ROM flashes you must wipe your data and cache. Everybody knows that.
You don't need to make useless threads that you fixed your problems or something, we don't need to know that.

It was because of your previous data and cache.... Wiping both data and cache solves the problem.

If you read the first post, you'll see that he solved it himself.
he has asked the question because he clearly has not made the association between what he has done to fix the issue with what caused the issue.

That bootloop was caused because of errors that came when 2.2 data or cache was trying to load in 2.3. I might be wrong, but what else can it be?
SwankyShaan
Yeah it happened with the Asian version, we're supposed to clear the cache afta the upgrade right?
then I don't think its related with the cache it has to be with 2.2 redundant data I feel either way its such a pain clearing all the apps n data:-(
Hi
Mine is Gingerbread 2.3.4 on H3G.
First I rooted it, then installed CWM Recovery via Odin method, it gave PASS and things went ok.
Today morning going thru some threads came across the similar thread for CWM Recovery where it said to Wipe Data after install CWM Recovery, so I went in Recovery mode and wiped data and partition cache as well.
Now the problem started when I restarted the phone, it just wont pass Samsung logo and then back to 3 animation.
whats gone wrong, what should I do now.
thanks

Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.
some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works
Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.
if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??
Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..
When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?
i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!
OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.
This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.
I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!
It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc
Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?
Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.
reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

This skips the that screen. then I cleared some things like google framework and it all was peachy
But its not wroking for me
I flashed my phone to the German ICS. Then I decided to wipe all my data. It was my fault
I made a backup and wiped my phone. After that I get a bootloop. I tryed to restore phone, but it gave me nothing. It stucked on samsung galaxy note gt n 7000 screen. After that I got in recovery mode problems with mounting / cashe and /system
So, I flashed my phone using odin to ICS one more time. And I got bootloop in samsung screen with flashing lights. Cashe and data wiping didn't work.
I flashed to 2.3.6. and in recovery mode phone showed me that he had got a problem with mounting /data. I flashed one more time with using pit and this mistake disapeared. But now I'm still in screen samsung galaxy note gt n 7000.
Sometimes it tryes to reboot. But I still there in the same possition. Anyway wiping makes nothing.
I tryed to find information about cases like my one, but I couldn't do this. So I'm really sorry if it's already been. And I sorry about my English.
Please, help me! I don't want to loose my friend
What I supposed to do now?
Go to this thread now and try the methods from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650209
I tryed this one exept 4th:
Here is how to solve.
1.flash stck GB rom
2.wipe data/cache from stock recovery.
3.now flash stock ics.
4.then flash another rom/ root kernel
still the same...
where I can find new kernel? And how to downoload it to Note?
after few hours of thinking and chating with members of 4pda.ru it looks like the problem begins after getting root access if you use touch recower. There is more than 5 members with the same problem. Beware about using that!
And my question is: how to get stock CWM?
So, guys, after uncoutable times of flashing I found that I can't download to the phone datafs . Is there any ways to solve this problem?
Have you tried to wipe/factory reset in stock recovery instead of cwm recovery?
OK so one more superbrick. Sorry mate
something that you tried had fried your emmc
I have an S5830D that I flash an CM7 rom to (APOCALYPSE-FINAL), I'm now looking at getting back to stock. I'm having trouble getting my CWM restore back. Now after doing some searching I realized I would need to flash a stock firmware version through odin. I went out and found what i believe is the correct firmware version for this Koodo model (the name is S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4_HOME.tar.md5) and tried to flash it.
Everything in odin goes through fine up to the point where it restarts the phone, Ill attach a screenshot of what shows up for me. After the screen shows up is when I get stuck in a bootloop where the phone model shows, then the koodo bootanimation shows followed by the samsung logo. I should note though I still have complete access to recovery, the downloader mode, and even the CM rom when i restore that backup. The fact I have access to all those gives me hope as I'm sure this could be reversed.
Any advice on how I can restore this phone to stock would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very familiar with samsung devices so please try to be patient with me as I realize I have gotten into something over my head.
PS Sorry about the glare on the image its the best I could do as it disappears quickly.

If you have complete access to recovery mode, try wiping data and cache after flashing with Odin. That does the trick for me when I have a bootloop after flashing with Odin.

Agreed... reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot.
So I've just completed a new flash with odin, I went in and flashed cwm then proceeded to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and I even do battery reset. Every wipe goes fine except for when I attempt to do the factory reset I received the following error:
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Even after those wipes it still bootloops but thats most likely as the factory reset didn't work.

Try not using CWM, or your SD card may be corrupt and you have to format it, I'm not sure though.

That did it, for some reason I had this thought in my head I had to flash cwm right away and clear stuff that way. Once odin finished I went in recovery and wiped data and cache through the stock recovery and it booted right up. Thanks for the help really appreciate it.
Hello Everybody, My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and I have an issue.I am the one who is changing rom constantly.I was using the rom named ''Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios'' for a long time.Lately i loaded another rom, 2 hours after i used, The phone was closed by itself, I tried open phone again but it stayed at boot animation screen.After that, I thought that rom is spoilt, I tried other roms but they stayed at boot animation screen as well.I tried all of roms that i have but result was same.I thought that i should try the rom which i was using before all those problems started.So i flashed Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios Rom.Bizarre but it worked.When it opened i have faced with some pop-up ''android upgrading 0/70'' when it finished (70/70) i was at homescreen and all of my apps that i downloaded when i was using this rom at old days was there.It was so weird, And all aplications started to stop itselves and i even havent touched any of them. Like ''Unfortunately Whatsapp has stopped'' ''Unfortunately contacts has stopped'' ''Unfortunately facebook has stopped'' finally they all stoped working and i tried open applications, No application opened even contacts.
Present state: Only one rom is working, Others staying at boot animation screen and the rom which is working actually not working, Only phone is opening, No application working
What is the Problem? What Should i do? I am waiting your answers, THANKS.

Are you do a full wipe, before flashing another custom rom?
I did Wipe data factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Advanced>Wipe Dalvik cache

I suggest you install the stock rom using odin. It seems you have some corrupted files. Before flashing the stock rom, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Once you have flashed the stock rom, go to recovery mod and do Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition (otherwise bootloop might occur). After that install root and CWM from the recovery mod. Now you can install any other custom rom without any problem. Do post your results. Hope I Helped

Uninstall kies, and then download driver for galaxy ace.
Maybe, there is something wrong with your recovery, what recovery do you use?

And, try redownload, and flash that rom again. Maybe, it's corrupted.
i unistalled and nothing happened.
And there is no problem about driver because pc is recognizing the phone which means it's was already updated.
ClockworkMod Recovery version is v4.0.0.9
And i flashed many times

Try installing CWM 5 from the recovery mod. CWM 5 is much more stable than CWM 4. Once you have installed CWM 5, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Then try to flash any working rom with it. Here is the link,
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

i did all of the things that you said but result is same
edit: Yeeeesss now i istalled Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios but it wasnt like old instalations, Old applications didn't come.Rom was opened like new phone, There is no problem now, Everything in phone are opening.
But why could'nt i install other roms.Of course i can continue with this rom it's better than none i mean at least i can use phone without problem.It is perfect but if can we solve the problem for other roms it will be very perfect, By the way thank you for your helps
