Ok first off, I am pretty green newbie, please help me understand this stuff.
This is my girlfriend's phone, she was using it and it reset itself and now it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
We'd like to try and recover the original system back to normal without having to use the built in system reset. I've heard I can do that by wiping the dalvk cache?
It is not rooted, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. There's ways to root it but I can't get into the system to run things like zergrush or the other options.
I tried to flash clockwork mod, but since the built in recovery tool only sees the INTERNAL SD contents, I only have access to the EXTERNAL SD card to put ZIPs in. I tried to use ADB to push the zip onto the internal SD Card but it says access denied (because it's unrooted?) Now what?
So short of system resetting it and loosing all the system settings or trying to see if we can send it into samsung for a replacement, how do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance. Please be gentle.
Put cwm on the phone via Odin, on a question asked yesterday almost exact problem I posted a link with instructions how to do this, MAKE SURE it is a t679 not t759! Otherwise you will brick your device

Unrooted, your only real options are factory reset or use Odin.

That is not true, if he gets cwm on it via Odin he can flash to stock through cwm, doing so would bring the phone back to out of the box condition with 2.3.6. Also it will save ALOT of time doing cwm through Odin rather than return to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
It is a T679, yes.
OK according to the wiki page for the phone, I see how to use Odin to bring the phone back to stock, which is great, but I just want to be able to root it to wipe the dalvik cache in hopes of stopping the boot loop. Hopefully this would get the phone working like normal again without deleting the old system, right?
With the Odin program, how would I use it to force the CWM.zip to root it and give me access to the recovery menu to wipe the cache? Or am I missing something?
Again, sorry for not quite getting this stuff. Thank you for helping.

My bad, I forgot there was a cwm for Odin on this phone. I got mine after the 2.3.6 update and you could flash it thru stock recovery. Plus I've only used Odin once and that was to root my Gtab 2.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.
The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.
I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.
now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.
Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?
Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3

If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.
P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.
Sorry bro if it is sticking on the Samsung logo, your phone does not have a rom

Do I really need to flash to stock before I flash a ROM everytime? IT GETS SOO ANOYING.
I do, its not that big a deal. Place CWM update.zip in the root of your SD card, place desired ROM somewhere on the card. Odin to stock allow to fully boot, then restart into recovery. Flash CWM, then flash ROM from CWM. You don't need to root or use ROM manager.

I don't I have had my captivate since august and have only used odin three times. There are a lot of reasons why flashing stock is neccesary, but just switching from one rom to another is kind of a waste. One reason is 3e recovery. It is easier to flash stock 2.1 not 2.2 and then flash a new rom as the above post says just put the update.zip and newrom.zip on the root and install. Once you are on a custom rom with a custom kernal you can use the options in recovery to flash another rom. I just factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and flash, if you really want to wipe everything you can go into mounts and storage and wipe everything, but the boot again. Then go to mount usb and copy over the rom from the computer, and then flash. The update script included in the new rom will wipe everything once again. If you have problems, like you got a bad flash, try flashing the same rom over again. Its kind of rare to get a bad flash. In short just flash over if you have problems then use odin.

When switching kernels
I typically flash back to stock when I'm going from one kernel to another. If the ROM I'm on and the ROM I'm going to use the same kernel (or at least the same line, i.e. two different versions of SuckerPunch), I usually skip the back-to-stock step.
Some say that it is only worth doing if you run into problems with the Rom. I do it everyrime to avoid anything that might happen. Plus old habits die hard from my WM days where flashing stock was needed

I'm stuck in a CWM Recovery boot loop.
- ran Mt's Root&RecoveryAIO - Root and CWM Recovery
- backed up my phone with CWM Recovery
- put GingerVolt on my SDcard
- did a factory reset
- after reboot phone loaded directly into CWM Recovery
- Installed GingerVolt from SD (zip) restarted and I was back in CWM Recovery. Restarted again. Back in...
- Restored backup didn't work either
I cannot access my phone via usb. It Blue screens my PC or shows up as a internet connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks I appreciate your help I did use that zip. Definitely a noob though, I couldn't find anything related to that script in any of my searches.
It's buried somewhere in the development section I just keep it in my dropbox so I don't have to search for such a common problem.
I tested something to try and fix the factory reset from the settings menu but it didn't work so for now that's the only fix.

Thank you!!
This worked out perfectly for me, thank you. I just have one question for you. Does this take me back to pure stock straight out of the box? I only ask because I noticed SuperUser is still on my phone. I would like to take my phone back to "straight out of the box" if possible. Is there such a thing after a phone has been rooted?
Scratch that, it still has root. I will just stick with root for now.
Follow this exactly to get your phone back to stock. If it fails around 10% then get a different USB cable.

Intro
Hi guys, I just got my Galaxy Ace from my mom a month ago(She used it for a couple of months but was too "complex" for her that's why she just gave it to me). Anyway, I'm the type of person who wants to explore and unlock the full potential of things. The first thing I did when I received the phone was research about stuff like how to modify it, etc. I was able to successfully root(there's a "super user" icon in the menu) it. Today, I thought it'd be nice to add some metro ui theme on it. So I I downloaded 7 launcher from the play store. But, was not satisfied because it felt like it was only a "skin" and didn't changed the overall feeling of the phone. That's the time I started digging dipper into the realm of Android and came across this thing called "ROM"....
I followed an online guide on how to install roms. First, i downloaded the rom i wanted(it's called "WP7") and placed it at the root of my sd card. Just like what the tutorial suggested(in case something goes wrong), I made a "nandroid" with the use of Clock Work Mod. I then saved a copy of the nandroid into my computer just to be EXTRA safe. Everything seems to be in order so I proceeded with the operation. I accessed the recovery menu, and selected "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset". After that, I went to "install zip from sd card" and selected the zip file. Everything went well. After the update, I rebooted the phone and it was successful.
The Problem
I checked the whole new ui design and it was what I expected it to be. But then, I immediately missed the old ui, so i decided to go back to the stock os/kernel/(whatever you guys call it ). I went to the recovery menu and selected "backup and restore". I chose the nandroid I just made through CWM. After loading, I rebooted my phone and bam... this is where my problem is. The Phone's name and model number appears in the screen but it's not loading. I waited for 2 minutes and nothing happened. So I restarted the phone by holding the power button and volume up. I accessed the recovery menu again and examined if I missed a step. After browsing the net, I concluded that I didn't wipe the cache and data before restoring . So I wiped both cache partition and data. I selected the nandroid and then rebooted the phone again. But, the boot loop is still there . I tried it again and again. Wiping, Restoring Rebooting. But the boot loop won't go away.
So I wiped it again but this time, I didn't select the nandroid and instead I went back to the new WP7 rom i just downloaded. My phone didn't do a boot loop and my phone is okay now. I'm stuck with my new rom for about an hour now. I'm starting to get used to it. Anyway, even though things are stable now and i'm on my new rom, I think it's still nice to go back to the phone's original kernel/os . Any ideas on how I can restore back my phone to the original/stock kernel/os without experiencing the boot loop? Or can you give me the causes why I'm experiencing the boot loop? My guess is, I think there's a problem with the nandroid I used. The wp7 rom doesn't experience any boot loop but when it comes to my nandroid, there's a boot loop.
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's too long to read. I just wanted it to be accurate and clear for you guys .
The only way would be flashing through Odin.

Search for your previous ROM around and flash it.
Here's a good TUTORIAL on how to flash ROMs
The only way to flash a stock rom is odin (its a pc program) .
after you flash back to stock, you should Be able to restore your nandroid backup without getting the bootloop
(at least, i'm pretty sure, can someone confirm this?)
Im sure ull find a guide on how to use odin somewhere on xda.

I know you're happy with your current ROM but just an FYI, I went through a similar process trying to unlock a T-Mo Samsung Dart T499 (similar to Mini/Galaxy Ace). I just flashed stock ROM via ODIN and it boot looped on me. After reading this post I went into stock recovery and clear cache partition and factory reset and voila!
So this post actually inspired me a bit! Haha! Thanks!
as already said, the batter way to solve that problem is clean up your device is flash a stock rom with Odin,
but then, you will need remake root, and install a CWM....
good Luck !!
I used custom rom before and then wanted to reset flash counter using Triangle Away. I installed stock rom, used custom kernel, then triangle away and then flashed stock rom again.
All went fine and flash counter is showing "NO" and firmware is Samsung Official but sometimes randomly System Status in download mode and in Android settings shows Custom. Then if i reboot it shows Normal. Why is this happening and what should I do to make it always show Normal?

Try to root your phone, download another firmware, and flash it with Mobile Odin Pro.

Okay have you tried to use Kies? That is the official way to update your phone. Either Kies or ota. Try this. Use kies upgrade and initialization. If it says your ROM is not supported restart kies and put your phone in download mode before connecting it to PC. Enter serial no and model number into kies.then while phone is in download mode . connect it to PC. This should begin the upgrade process. After it finishes, factory reset phone. Let me know if that doesn't work

First flash with kies and do a factory reset after. You should not be rooted after using kies. Do not restore applications from any previous backup. Only install applications manually. Do not restore data either .start fresh. wipe external sd card. Do not freeze or uninstall any system applications. I recently uninstalled "chat on" and got a system modified status that only went away after reflashing my rom. Dont sideload apps . Dont check off unknown sources under security. If that doesnt work I really don't know any thing else.stock rom kernel firmware apps all from playstore no root apps.

I found another thread where someone has had same kind of problem and he had not done ANY modifications to the phone: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2022690
It still said Custom on System Status. I'm starting to believe that there is something wrong with Android that makes System Status randomly show Custom even if no modifications has been done.
i read the link you posted. i would try to either wipe the sd card or remove it just to eliminate that being the issue. also i would suggest you make sure unknown sources is not ticked. and most importantly that you do not batch restore apps. especially app data. one question i have is do you encrypt your file system? for security? and is your rom carrier branded. I know all of the instrucions and questions seem like a tall order but this is how to troubleshoot by process of elimination what is causing the custom status. i hope you get this worked out...
I really appreciate your help ashraf sharif. I just wouldn't like to install all my apps again (did it few times already). I googled the issue more and some people believe Modified status is related to External SD card somehow:

So my intention was to make everything on the phone Stock/Official again.
Does your phone say modified when you take out the external sd card? You can simply unmount it shut down the phone and then remove it just to make see if maybe that is the issue. If it is whats causing the modified status then just backup whatever files you want to keep. And then format the card. You should be good to go

At first, it didn't showed any effect so i tried to reboot it and now i'm stucked on a loop. I can't flash the rom, because i deleted the rom from my sd card to get more storage.

Since it was getting worse and worse (i tried to apply an old cm10 backup via cm), i wasn't even able to get into recovery mode. I flashed stock kk4 with odin but now it won't let me get to usb storage: Seconds after i plug my phonevia usb just to load or to load sth on my sd card, my phone shuts down and the green loading bar appears until a new reboot starts into the green bar etc...
Is this a common bug? I searched in the forums, but couldn't find this kind of.
I guess i have some weird mount/unmount problems since i even wasn't able to get into mass storage via recovery beforehand when i had the bootloop. And the strange thing now is, that odin didn't formatted my sd card (i still got my music and stuff)

Odin doesn't format your sd card anymore.
I'm not so sure about the bug you're having. Feels like your internal might be dead but that would mean no recovery too. Do you have a external sd in?

Yes, i tried different battery charger, but it keeps on rebooting. :/ Coming from KK4 do i have to root the phone again or can i go ahead and flash a rom? (rom manager telling me it couldn't find superuser/device not rooted ) Maybe a new rom will help?

I doubt it will make a difference but you'll have to flash corn kernel using Odin. From there, follow the full rom instructions. there's also a flashing guide in the stickies.

Flashing corn kernel 7.05 made me stuck at the corn logo screen, couldn't even get into cwm. Now i got back to kk4 with odin. Should i give it another shot or should i try superoneclick?

You don't have to use superoneclick.
I'd suggest you try speedmod kernel then and boot directly in recovery.

I was able to get into recovery with speedmod kernel, but a normal boot wasn't possible, just stucked at the galaxy s screen. After root and a full wipe, i couldn't flash a rom (cm11) due getting status 0 error.
Ok i flashed cm9 and this one is completely fine. No more usb issues also. I flashed cm11 and it seems fine. I hope it will stay that way. Thank you very much for caring.
I have one more question. One thing that is very frustrating is to lose all your customized data and settings with flashing. Since messing around with titanium lead me to this problem i want to know what's your favorite backup tool? Will a normal backup via recovery save ur apps and settings?

You can restore your apps data with titanium, just don't restore system apps.
