[Q] [i9000] Stuck in boot loop on GB, Encryption Unsuccessful on ICS

After having to restart my SGS I9000 more and more often, I decided to have a go with cyanogenmod. I installed v9 fine, and it booted properly. However after I restarted it (I can't remember why), I got the Encryption Unsuccessful screen...
I tried the various fixes to this, including swaping the sd card / emmc - no luck. So I decided to flash back to stock GB. When I tried that, I just get it stuck in a boot loop (cycle of Galaxy S screen for ~ 5s, then blank for ~5secs). When I tried CM7, it just sits there spinning the boot screen.
I've tried various options, and just get stuck at either boot loop, or encryption unsuccessful.
In the recovery manager I always get 'can't mount /data' or similar - but can normally manually format /data.
I don't have any trouble getting in to d/l mode, or recovery mode, and have been using Heimdall to flash updates.
I'm thinking I have some hardware problem - I can't understand why I just can't get it to boot anything...
Any suggestions on what I can try? When searching for options, I normally see 'Flash it back to stock' but that isn't working for me...
(Before I had all this trouble, my phone would often boot loop about 5 to 10 times before finally booting.)

Did you Try flashing Sock ROM ( 3 files) with Odin ? Do this .
Yes, I have tried that - same result as with Heimdall - just boot loops

[Q] Phone stuck on boot animation

HI, im sort of a noob at this but i have been using the Custonexus rom for a cuple of days now and it have been running very good But yesterday when i tried to unlock the phone, the lockscreen didn't show up, the backlit buttons turned on as usual.
I turned off the phone, and did a factory reset. The phone booted up as normal with no problems. When i was up and running again, i booted into recovery to flash back to the stock rom from my backup just to be sure it didn't happened again. I did a factory reset and navigated to the backups but the backup was gone I rebooted the phone but it got stuck on the CN boot screen. What should i do? i have tried many times to reboot it but it always get stuck on the boot animation.
Install original lg kdz and redo everything.
You have to install the Stock (original) Firmware. Here is a HowTo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723

[Solved] GT-N7000 Soft Bricked. Only Download Mode Available

Hello,
I have a GT-N7000 which I am only able to access via download mode. Recovery mode does not work at all.
Odin 3.09 runs the following successfully:
1. Flashing a stock rom: N7000JPLSB_N7000OJPLSB_N7000XXLSO_HOME.tar.md5
2. Flashing a pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
3. Flashing a safe kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-JPLSB-UAE-4.89.4.tar.md5
These steps however have not solved the problem.
I have read that I need to flash a bootloader, but I don't know how to do that.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

On a successful kernel flash, enter into recovery mode and flash raw kernel and its corresponding rom.
Unfortunately recovery does not work at all. The phone reboots when I attempt to enter recovery.

My phone has this thing where upon pressing the buttons for recovery, it will show the Samsung Galaxy Note screen twice before entering recovery. That means pressing the buttons until it finishes showing twice, or it will just reboots normally. Did you try it?
What I tried now was flashing the stock rom again. After Odin successfully flashed the rom, it went into a boot loop that lasted approximately 20 minutes, but I just let it loop without disturbing it. Eventually it stopped and switched itself off.
I tried to enter recovery and and it rebooted a few times as you mentioned, but eventually I now see the stock Recovery screen, but the Android is on his back with the red triangle on his chest.
I then performed a factory reset.
Phone reboots, I see the Samsung logo, I hear the jingle and then the phone switches off.
Edit:
Switch phone on: See message Android is upgrading. Reaches 33 of 73 apps and phone switches off.
Switch on again: Android is upgrading 1 of 41. Completes. Switches off.
Switch on again: See setup screen. Switches off.
Switch on again: Same thing.
Recovery still broken and can't setup phone as it switches itself off.

You need the stock recovery. Flash your rom in, reboot to stock recovery, then update with the corresponding Philz for your phone. If it works you should reboot and see philz recovery and your rom is unusable. Just flash raw kernel and any other rom after that
So all the random reboots were caused by a faulty battery.
I bought a new battery, followed steps 1,2 and 3 in my original post and my phone is working perfectly again.

[Q] Possible partition corruption?

Here's the deal, I have a sprout8 device (the Indonesian Nexian Journey One) running stock 6.0 with some xposed mods installed on it. Suddenly the device shuts down and when I try to boot it up it only goes halfway through the bootanimation when it shuts down again. I wasn't too worried as I thought it was just a conflicting system issue and I also thought it was time to re-flash fresh stock 6.0 to freshen up my phone anyway. So I went ahead and did it.
Here's where the problems start to show up, I had a hard time booting to recovery through the power + volume up combination. The phone suddenly shuts down on its own as it boots up. I tried it a few times and finally got to recovery. After that, as I flashed stock 6.0 the phone shut down again. I thought it was an issue with my recovery so I tried wiping everything through fastboot and re-flashed recovery through fastboot aswell. From there I tried again to flash stock 6.0 through recovery and again, the phone shut down. I tried a different ROM thinking it was a ROM issue but still got the same results.
After hours of trying to flash a ROM through recovery (retrying over and over as it suddenly shut down while flashing), I finally got a ROM installed. Then I rebooted my phone, but again it freezes halfway through the bootanimation (literally freezing the bootanimation) and refused to do anything. I took off the battery and booted up the phone countless tries trying to get it to boot up. When it finally booted up, I filled in all the Google startup credentials and finally got started on a fresh stock 6.0. However, I tried to restore my previous application data through Android's application recovery on startup but everytime the device installs a new application it would freeze up and shut down. This happened countless times. Then the phone, once again, shut down and could not start the ROM. It would freeze up on the bootanimation.
Then things started to get weird, when the phone turns on it should show the "Nexian" logo in all its glory before going to bootanimation. But here the screen gets all distorted and shows these weird horizontal (and sometimes vertical) lines. Nothing's wrong with my phone screen so I assume it is a system error. From here on, the phone refused to boot. It just shows the Nexian logo and restarts over and over. The same thing happens even after I re-flashed both my recovery and ROM. I even tried using SP Flash Tool to re-flash stock but still the same results.
Now, the device wouldn't even turn on. But when I connect it using USB to a Windows computer, it still gets detected through device manager as an ordinary MediaTek device.
I'm assuming now that it may be a problem with the /system parition where we install our ROMs in. The partition may be (partially) corrupt. Seeing as the device could still boot the ROM a few hours ago but freezing upon updates to the stated partition.
If you guys have any other ideas/solutions I'm all ears.

Nook HD (hummingbird) stuck in boot loop after botched ROM install

Several times, I tried (and failed) at installing CM on my Nook HD. It went through all of the motions of installing the ROM (no errors, nothing), but when I rebooted, it went straight back to stock with "Hi, welcome to your NOOK."
I thought maybe my version of CWM was too old. I finally found a newer version (6.0.4.9, I think). I flashed TWRP first and then tried to flash CM. This time it crashed in the middle of the installation! Now, it won't boot at all. It just shows the Nook logo, then goes to the Cyanoboot screen, then goes black, then back to Cyanoboot, and so on. It won't boot from the SD card, either. I tried holding N and power to get into TWRP, which was allegedly installed, but that doesn't work, either.
Every web page that I could find discussing the issue of bootloops says, "First, boot into recovery..."
So, what do I do if I can't boot into recovery? Or is there a way I haven't tried yet?
Okay, I was able to restore. I inserted a bootable SD card and held down the N key and the power button. It takes a few times to get it right. So, now I'm back to stock.
