Hello,
Here is my problem, wanting to flash a theme on my Xperia Z, I had to perform a cache cleaning, this one was unusually long (~5minutes), so I brutally shut down the phone via power + volume up.
I wasn't aware of:
Phone hangs when cleaning cache?
Just leave it for a few minutes, it's needs some time to clean cache

Unfortunately it is now impossible for me to get back to the recovery (LED turns green but does not change to purple while holding volume up).
I already tried:
- Reinstall CWM recovery
- Install TWRP recovery hoping "overwrite" CWM (does not work either)
- Uninstall TWRP recovery
- Use the "reboot in recovery" option via clockworkmod and application TWRP (just reboot the phone normally)
edit:
- I now tried to do a factory reset but it's not working, nothing happen when I click "erase all data", can't tell if it's related though...
Having no other ideas I think it would be best to totally remove CWM recovery (via adb ?) and then reinstall it "properly"
Thanks
Update: Just tried to do a factory reset via settings but I doesn't work, nothing happen when I click "erase all data", can't tell if it's related though. Is there any other way to do a factory reset so I can go back to normal ?
Thanks

Hello all,
I've been using my phone for a 1 or 2 months now. Today quite often I couldn't send text messages. This happened before so I restarted the phone.
However after rebooting, the phone displayed the logo and then the screen went totally black. I have no idea what went wrong.
Anyone with any input would be really appreciated
i tried ClockworkMod Recovery but still no luck

what did you do in Clockwork Recovery?
What did you install before the phone went black?
i didn't do anything, just restarted the phone and it happened..really weird
so i pressed power button + up volume + home button >> reinstall the zip file listed in Clockwork Recovery...
okay then, go back into the Recovery mode
select the option to Wipe Data and Wipe Cache
then you should be able to boot back into the phone normally
it takes about 10 to 20 sec after a clean wipe
thanks, seems like the last option for me (
anyway i tried and it worked..
is it possible that i could recover all the data back?
nope, that was the problem something in the data kept your phone from booting
calendar, contacts, and messages will sync back automatically with your gmail account
apps will need to be reinstalled
Greetings. I ran into a major problem yesterday when i was playing around with titanium backup. I was a bit careless and touched some important system file. After which i was unable to reach the home menu nor restore the backup file. I rebooted and pressed the volume down button, and the "updating system.." icon appeared. Nothing happened for 1h, so i tried using the lg software suit to do a remote recovery. Nothing worked. I tried performing an update, hopimg the particular file might be restored, but the updater told me the new version is incompatible.
I'm a bit inexperienced in these matters, but i find it impossible that the bootloader could become permanently inaccessible due to a software error. I need to restore the original rom without accessing recovery mode on the phone - but how?
You're right, it's not possible.
You're trying to get into recovery wrong
Hold bother power and vol-, not just vol-

Thats what I thought I did, I always hold the power button until the boot screen appears. Still no improvement, seems I wont be able to restore my phone to factory default through normal means.
If you let it try and boot up, you might get it far enough to use 'adb reboot recovery'
If you ask me, the best solution is to flash the stock rom > root > restore titanium backup
As I said, there's no way I can reach any system menu whatsoever. The phone freezes at the LG logo on a normal boot, and in system recovery it freezes at "S/W Update". I can't do anything using the manufacturer's PC software, so what do I do? The rom is obviously rooted, but I'm not the one who performed the job so I don't know which software was used for that.

Hi guys, first time posting here, sorry if a question like this has already been asked but I've looked around and haven't managed to solve my problem yet.
So I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Mini II (GT-S6500T) and used Odin 3.07 to install ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 onto it; I then booted it into recovery mode and installed ZIP from SD card, selected CyanogenMod 10.2 ("cm-10.2-20131202-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip"), followed instructions etc. installed Google Apps and all that.
Now, when I selected to start up the phone again, it just gets stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot screen, the blue arrow just circles around on and on (I understand that it usually takes a long time but I don't think it's meant to take over half an hour... also, every now and then I notice it kind of makes a low vibrate sound?).
I've read that to fix it you can reboot it into recovery mode and reflash it but the problem is I can't even get into the recovery mode. If I force the phone off (e.g. by removing battery) and hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Home + Power to boot recovery mode, nothing happens. If I just hold Power it starts up and goes straight into boot sequence.
I do have a backup of my previous settings and all that saved - one saved on my external SD card and the same file saved on my computer, so if I can somehow load that back it would be great I guess.

I mentioned earlier I cannot enter recovery mode. When I hold the button combination to go into it, nothing happens.
Earlier I managed to get into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power) and I reflashed a stock firmware, but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the Samsung screen and vibrates every now and then. I still cannot access recovery mode.
Managed to fix the problem but thanks for the help anyway. Followed one of the solutions here and removed everything, held power for 1 min, plugged my phone into the computer and managed to get into recovery mode. From there I did full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format /system (probably only necessary to do full wipe but I dunno), then restarted into download mode and used Odin to reflash stock rom, then reloaded recovery mode and reloaded my backup.
edit: My question now is, I'm not sure what I've done wrong in the process of installing Cyanogenmod to screw up this badly. Is it absolutely necessary to format /system before installing it? I did do full wipe, cache and Dalvik cache and mounted /system prior to rebooting and loading Cyanogenmod.
what i do > install rom > reboot > install google apps .. I had this problem aswell a while ago. what also can be the problem is when u don't format correctly..

Have You as well was unable to go into recovery mode and stuck on bootloop ? One thing I can do is to use Odin, tried to flash some stock firmware with no result. Still no acces to recovery and still Samsung logo loop. I searched, read many topics but nothing helped. Is there something except Riff Jig that could be done ? Thanks for response
-Flash stock rom via Odin
-Flash cwm via Odin
-Pull out battery
-Connect phone to pc (without battery)
-Wait until screen turns on
-Hold recovery combo keys until samsung logo shows (home+volup +voldown +power)
-put battery back quickly
-You should be in recovery now :wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
-Reboot.
I was in similar situation, if not identical. This worked for me. Good luck.
Edit: I didn't see you fixed it already. Ignore the post.

Wave I have a lg l90, as reported here:
Http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/help/help-to-install-cyanogenmod-lg-l90-t3489414
I installed cm13 with gapps successfully ...
I've been using it normally since then...
But in an attempt to run the "es file explorer" in root mode, I installed the supersu from the play store. I opened it, and he asked to restart by TWRP.
It restarted, opened the twrp... And after restarting, the CM will be booting forever.
Can someone help me?

Try wiping Dalvik and cache..
To get into twrp Turn off phone then Turn on with power button and pressing volume down button.. when lg logo appears release both buttons and press again both until a white screen appears. Use volume keys and power key to select yes.
If wiping cache and Dalvik dont work probably u have to flash cm again.

really?
Really, I have no problem unbrick/formatting my cell phone... In losing data, information, etc.
This time, I would just like to save some pictures of my son that are in this device.
So by pressing "yes" to that question, it will not erase the data, but call the twrp?
