[SOLVED] Rooted Exhibit Stuck in Bootloop! - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hi,
I tried installing the Chimera kernel on my sister's Exhibit and after it installed and rebooted, the phone was stuck in the CM10 boot animation. The phone has CM10 installed and it does get past the Samsung logo.
The thread for Chimera tells us to make a Nandroid but I didn't bother as when I installed Chimera on my Exhibit, all was well. So, there is no Nandroid to restore to on this phone.
Is flashing a new ROM the only option?

I'm having this same problem after I flashed everything. my rom, cache, data, delvik+cache, etc...

Just dirty flash CM10 to delete the kernel.

But I can't even get into CWM...

I was talking to Scoob.
You need to press volume up and power to get in to recovery. Volume down and power is download(Odin) mode.

Dirty flashing is flashing without wiping, right?
And if I do this, I'm guessing she will lose all her files etc.?

Wipe dalvik cache, cache and then flash CM10 and gapps. Hopefully, everything will still be there.

Ok, I'll try that. I just have one more question, does the CM10 have to be the same as the one currently installed? It's an older version and I don't have the same ZIP, so I'll have to download a newer version.

A newer version should be okay. As long as it is CM10.

It works! I just thanked all your posts in here.
Thank you very much sir!

Error after flashing baseband 622 can not boot

Hi guys, just flashed 622 baseband with appropriate RIL and now I cant boot...
Here is what I did:
1) Turned phone off, flashed baseband file, it went ok
2) Booted into recovery, restored my CM7 backup and then flashed RIL - success
3) Rebooted phone - getting stuck at LG logo, nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks
EDIT:
Hmm, after wiping data, cache and installing plain rom again it booted... Although new clean rom smells fresh, I'd like to get my backup back on and rolling
EDIT2:
Okay booted again, the key was to restore backup and then flash CM7 nightly over it
DELETE PLEASE

Glad you figured it out. Yes, you have to flash the CM7 again after you have restored from backup, before booting up.

That shouldn't really be necessary unless you're using a defective version of CWM. Some versions didn't restore the boot image properly, which is why you needed to flash it again.

I always do it, just to be on the safe side. Just another couple of mins anyway.

so, 3.2.0.1 is the most stable and safe at the moment and should not have this issue? want to upgrade to 0622 soon so would be nice to know.
3.2.0.0 upwards doesn't have that problem. I'm happy with 4.0.0.5 though, I like to have the latest.

The 4.0.0.5 got a bug. It wont format /system I think, becouse when I installed CM7 over my old FR17 I got FC on many LG apps and services (which isn't in CM ). And yes, I did wipe, but it doesn't matter becouse that's only /data .. It worked with manual format through Advanced menu and then flash rom, but that shouldn't be necessary..
Yes and no, early 4.0.0.5 does that, the later version of it is fixed.

Help: CM10 stuck on boot screen since I flashed it.

Before I used CM10 i just used the stock (flashed latest GB) that came with my phone. So I flashed CWM5 and cleared all the three stuff I was supposed to. I installed the CM10 zip and since then its been stuck on the boot animation, not even a loop. Just the animation.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well happened with me once when I had put AOKP ROM in my Galaxy Note.
Here is what I did:
Go to Recovery.
Wipe Cache.
Try reboot
No results?
Recovery again.
WIpe Dalvik Cache Also
Try reboot.
Still no results?
Try to wipe data/fac reset and re flash some other ROM as of now (which you are confident about that it will work)
Now go ahead and let the old ROM boot. (Surely it will, as you would have used prior)
Now, go connect USB and check MD5 of the file you had kept on SD Card (I mean the CM10 file)
I found that my MD5 didnt match.
If you think it didnt match download again.
If you know it matches then go for reflash.
But this time before flashing the new ROM just use some cleaning script such as Ultimate KErnel Cleaning Script. In Galaxy Note I used Jbroid Kernel Script. I aint sure now if you can use Jbroid in Ace.
Goof luck!
Press Thanks
I got it working, what I had to do was flash CM7, then CM9 then CM10 :/ after that it was fine Thanks for the help
Welcome
The problem was with the kernel being different in CM10 and official version.

[Q] CM10 to CM10.1, wiping needed?

I have a Galaxy S (I9000B) and a Tab (P1000L), S has CM10 and Tab CM10.1. When I was upgrading my Tab from CM10 to CM10.1, I've forgot to wipe data/factory reset, and when it was done, I've noticed that my background was the same, and all the apps where there. Everything is working fine.
And now the question, upgrading my phone from CM10 to CM10.1 (the most recent version available) do I really need to wipe anything?
It is recommended to do all 3 wipes and to be sure to get a clean and propper ROM, format system too. But you can try it without, if something is not running propperly, the worst case will be that you have to flash it again and then with all wipes. Or if you stuck on bootloop with lost recovery, then you have to fireup odin...
BTW gapps were also changed, so for CM10.1 its also recommended to flash the latest gapps.

Well, I tried to flash CM10.1, but showed up a error, don't know why. I figured it out that it was my kernel, it was made for 4.1 and not 4.2. So I just downloaded a 4.2 kernel, flashed and right next I've flashed the CM10.1. I can't tell that it is working, I'm locked in the lockscreen (on CM10 it was a 5x5 pattern and now is a 3x3). But I can see my wallpaper is the same
Did you made a nandroid backup before flashing the new JB?
Then i would suggest to restore to latest backuped ICS version and disable your lockscreen pattern. Then reflash the new rom again.
Hope that this will work for you.

I didn't made any backup. If I go back to CM10, will my apps and data continue?
I am not sure, i think yes...but i am afraid you do not have an other choice :fingers-crossed:

I'll try it out now. I was trying via adb to remove gestures.key, but adb isn't finding my device, and as far as I remember it was with USB debugging enabled...
yes usb debugging has to be enabled

As far as I can tell it was, on CM10. Maybe CM10.1 disabled it.
I've tried to rollback to CM10, but I got stuck on the bootanimation. I think I'll have to wipe everything...
perhaps you can try it with flashing an ics kernel via odin in advance.
Semaphore has some tar versions for odin...but i dont have the link for the moment...if you want i can search

[Q] CM10.1.6 only boots one time

Hi, I have flashed many roms in other devices and is the first time it happens to me and i don´t know why.
I flashed the latest firmware via odin then root and cwm, well. When I installed the CM rom with his wipes it boots first time, works perfect, but when i reboot it bootloops, but if do the wipes again it boots first time again but when I reboot bootloop again, any solutions? Thanks.
The Rom I flashed is this (winter release) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438

I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the rom as I have personally used that rom as well as many others. Having said that, I will ask you to do all the necessary steps to install a rom.
1. flash stock via odin.
2. root your phone and flash cwm 5.
3. boot into recovery, do factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe and format system in mounts and storage.
4. check the md5 sum of the rom for it's integrity and then copy it to sd.
5. flash the rom. reboot system.
first boot will take a bit of time. after setting everything reboot. your phone will boot just fine. have patience though. booting may take time. whatever happens, you should not be in bootloop now because rom is okay. good luck:good:

LP always boots in recovery - is my SGSA screwed?

what i'm trying to do is installing lollipop on my s advance
i was coming from CM11 by epirex, and i decided to try his SlimLP; did all the wipes, flashed rom and gapps with no error at all, and then the phone endlessly rebooted into TWRP
so i did a deep clean installing jb with odin; then rooted, installed cwm, flashed MaxiCM this time without gapps and... again the phone only boots into recovery.
what can i do? can this mean that my phone is dying?
