[question] cwm bug? Or just normal? Help! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my SIII Mini is formerly on stock I8190DXAMA2 firmware 4.1.2 JB, then successfully root it using seedrom193 guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852, then later i updated the Superuser app through googleplay, installed updates and su binaries? .after that it ask me for a reboot , choose from normal reboot or CWM reboot , i choose CWM reboot because i thought it the one because i have a custom recovery, after rebooting, i noticed that my sub menu and back button is not working, no lights when you touch, but my touch screen is working good. so i'm worried i decided to factory reset and wipe data to solve it. all data was lost because i did not back up. after rebooting again, my sub keys and back button working again ...WHAT HAPPENED??? please help and give me infos if you encountered the same to your SIII Mini. thanks guys! Phillippine user here.

Common issue with cwm when you reboot while in cwm, keys doesn't function till you reboot phone again. Or it can take up to a min for keys to work again.

[Q] CyanogenMod taking a long time to boot on first go......

Hi,
I just attempted to put my first ROM on my note - CM10.
I followed the rooting instructions on root galaxy note dot com (I can't post the link cos this is my first post apparently)
which seems to go fine, the only difference was that once I got CWM on I just picked the CM10.zip and rebooted. It's been sitting with the CyanogenMod boot animation for 40 minutes now, I worried I screwed it up.
Given I'm a noob at this and didn't make a back up is there a way for me to get a ROM back on the device that will actually boot up for me? Or have I forked it up.
Any help appreciated!
1. Go back into recovery mode (volume up + power + home buttons)
2. Wipe data, and cache. Then select advance in order to wipe dalvik and battery stats.
3. To be safe, reinstall the SuperSU and CWM as per zedomax video.
4. Reboot to system.
5. Then download abysnotekernel. Reboot recovery.
6. Flash abyssnotekernel
7. Then flash CM10
8. Pray that all went well
Hope this helps..

Device is stuck on boot logo

Hello, I have a problem with my Galaxy Note and I don't know what to do.
A few hours ago I tried to start the device as I usually do after I turn it off, but the device does not turn on and only stays stuck on this screen: "Samsung galaxy note n7000".
I'm running this Rom: "[ROM][4.1.2 JB]Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1".
I have the ability to log into CWM by the combination of the known keys
I hope you guys can help me, thanks in advance.
(Note: The battery is charged and i also tried to remove it and put it back in.)
This problem happened to me before with the xxlsa leaked rom
Do a wipe from a safe kernel and flash the rom again
Try to boot into recovery and do a reboot recovery and then reboot.
Else you may do a backup and restore the same backup. It works most of the time. But a little time consuming.
Had same problem by loosing power. The device wont boot anymore. Fix per, reinstall without wipe did not work. Switch rom
i believe this problem comes to all jelly bean leak always Stuck on the first boot.
just got this problem again how i did it ?press power on Stuck on first boot next step straight away press 3 button go to recovery n hit reboot system n my phone bootup n back to normal.

How can i replace the kernel and reinstall the rom if I cannot see the device on my computer when it's connected?

I've already tried both methods you have specified and none of them worked.
My attempt to make a Nandroid backup has failed and the CWM said something like "backup of /data failed".

Hi, this is not the first time I try to boot the device after installing a new rom.
I'm with this rom for a few weeks now and the problem occurred only yesterday.
This is well known problem with xlsc rom. U have to wipe everything and to flash rom. There are some solutions with backup/restore but they didn't work for me.
So, complete WIPE, and than flash!!
Backup of data failed because of insufficient space. Make backup to internal if there is more space.
i have the same problem since i full wipe and flashed asylums 20130302 build. after doing a full wipe and clean install, i started downloading my regular apps from playstore and suddenly it turned off just like when you remove the battery.
i tried the following::
1. full wipe and installed the rom -- it boots up few minutes then shuts off and wont boot up without charger
2. restored from nandroid -- same as above
3. full wipe and installed previous builds -- same
4. full wipe + flashed latest build 20130303 + latest gaps for JB 4.2 -- same
5. check battery stat -- ok
whenever it shuts off, it wont turn back on unless without a charger. it just shuts off at random. this is the second day I'm experiencing it and its frustrating.
any help? thanks
edit:: btw it shuts off at boot animation
In the other thread where you asked this question too there are members who replaced their battery and solved it this way.
Maybe you should try this and replace the battery.
Good luck.
I got same issue and I'm for kill someone. Why these problems on a official rom?

Recovery wont boot

Hey everyone, I installed recovery on my phone and it worked fine but after doing so I tried to install a ROM. This ended up with my phone being bricked and so I flashed the original FTF file and now it works fine again. I rooted the phone after this and installed recovery and it said it installed properly with no errors. I then tried to boot my phone in to recovery by pressing either volume key when the green led shows up with the sony splash screen but nothing happens. I've tried it loads of times using both up and down volume keys but it does not go to recovery anymore. Any help?

sorry but what recovery are you using
TWRP/CWM I've tried both of them neither of them boot up the phone just boots up as normal even if I press the volume keys. I've installed the CWM for locked bootloader now though and it still wont work, that being the case my phone is a locked bootloader.
what device are you using and which recovery?
i rmb ZL has issues with CWM recovery like this.
Z, havent encounter any yet.
If you cant boot into recovery then try installing it again.

have you got superuser/super su installed and working ? when flashing recovery supersu asks for ADB approval
Well it would be an Xperia Z being in this category of the forum? But Ive tried re-installing and removing completely and installing again. Each time it seems to install correctly but even if the green led comes on at start up it wont boot in to the recovery mode
I even tried using XZRecovery to install it on the phone itself but that didnt let me boot in either

Yeah sorry for not answering previously I do have it installed but as I said, I gave XZRecovery su permissions and it installed TWRP recovery then I rebooted but this didnt work either. I just tried Recovery Reboot from play store and it just gives my phone a normal reboot

Okay try installing this one dont know of anyone which this hasnt work for, before go into supersu and look at app's, has ADB got a green or red hash
I tried that one before and it didn't work. Just checked my superuser and it seems it doesn't even have ADB listed, just some rooted apps I've used. I tried setting it to always allow in preferences but that didn't change anything.

do this
1-flash "another" ftf file
2-repair it with sony update service
3-go to settings > backup and reset > factory data reset (internal wipe)
4-root
5-install CWM
do not try to restore your previous rom or whatever. especially when youre jumping from one rom to another.
Start fresh.
This will probably work but I used the unbranded ftf file on a clean install so im not sure how much differentit'll be

I tried to do this but when I connect my phone to a pc nothing comes up, no pop-up, nothing on the phone, it doesnt even charge. It does charge however when I put it in a plug socket.. I think this could have something to do with it in the first place, my problem still isnt resolved what else can I do?
Are you stuck at step 1?
Try the newest flashtool (I think people are having issues with it, but worth a try) or the v4 flashtool.
And try another ftf file, don't use the same one that you used, or trying to use.

[Q] Unfortunately, UI has stopped working

Hi I need help please, My xperia is Rooted and I flashed for the small navigation buttons,
They disappeared, Fortunately Backup was made.
But cannot get into recovery to do backup.
I get: "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" and I cannot do anything but switch the phone on and off.
Very frustrated and scared I broke the thing.

do a reset?
You don't need to boot the phone up fully to get into recovery.
Just press whichever volume key is applicable when your phone is starting up to boot into recovery, then restore your backup.
Unless I'm missing something obvious. :what:

Restarting the phone just brings me back to the same error, and cannot log in to recovery from boot.
Tried holding in the up volume key during boot, the light flashes green, then off. then continues to boot as normal.
Assuming you actually flashed a custom recovery, you do not hold the volume key. You press it when the LED flashes green.
If you definitely cannot enter recovery, then try flashing a stock rom with Flashtool.
Download a stock FTF from the general section and follow this guide - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
You will not lose your data if you follow the guide correctly.

Thank you much appreciated!
A quick one for you too...
I had similar issue. When the phone has booted although you can't see anything, you can still hard press the home button, push up and open Google now. From there you can access xz recovery, if you have it installed? You can then choose to boot into recovery....
If not installed you can open play store from Google now, install xz recovery and do the above. You can then recover your backup.
Xperia Z

I had rooted my phone and installed cwm on it to install monster rom but when i was installing monster rom it showed that installation aborted and after this when i rebooted my device its not starting, no home screens, no icons, no status bar, only black screen and lock menu....

note 3 bootloop

I had Note 3 safestrap installed.
Factory wiped and I flashed PureRom Ce over S5 experience rom on kit kit 4.4 and reboot.
The note 3 will not start into boot logo but appears as Galaxy note 3 with unlocked icon and nothing else. Tried to boot me to recovery it did take me to stock recovery. I hit factory reset and cache and problem still the same.
Any ideas? if problem do not solved, all I do to hit up odin to flash new firmware?

Seems like you formatted sd in ss, did you reboot normally or you pressed vol up menu and power? Try to reboot, if ss doesn't show up you may have to revert to mj5.

You are right, I formatted it by pc. I thought everything had covered. The ss I had was installed but recovery did not "recovery not active" someone claimed it was bug. So I rebooted got ss then flashed purerom on kk, and this was happening right after reboot. I gonna have to look in thread about mj5 you mentioned. Download mode working fine and stock recovery working fine. Ugh I need to get home and have this fixed. I'm at work stuck with boot looping note 3. Hope to get this fixed tonight.

"Recovery not active" means you are using the stock slot. Yeah just follow the steps in the mj5 restore done that numerous times and it always brought me back. Hope you get that note 3 firing again.
Thanks I got my note 3 back to life using mj5 restore. Problem solved.
