Alright, I recently factory reset my rooted and CWM'd Revolution and I was getting immediate boots into CWM recovery. I followed the steps outlined http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161537, and I was able to successfully boot to the LG screen. Here in lies the problem, it is now infinitely bootlooping... it stays on the LG screen indefinitely. I have left it lit for hours at a time, no luck. I have googled for hours and found nothing. Also, factory resets in CWM don't give a completed script, but recovery just resets and I have no idea if anything was actually erased, but I do know it still doesn't work.
So, is there anyway to save my phone?
quick recap:
1. phone is rooted and has CWM installed.
2. it is bootlooping.
please help!!!
edit: with some good camera work, I was able to capture the error string at the end of the factory reset:
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
then a rapid reboot and back to step one. The phone will then boot back into CWM, and if I reboot, it will stick on the LG screen indefinitely.
when it fails to wipe data, does it go back to clockworkmod as if clockworkmod restarted?

yes, verbatim.
It is as if nothing happened, no log at the bottom, it is fresh.
The reset at the end of the factory reset is normal. Can you flash anything in cwm? You may need to flash a rom to get further.

tried, both using the advance restore method via Revolt ROM 1.3 and the install ZIP from SD Card method using Revolt 1.4.
Would another ROM be more suitable?
Do you have any back ups made?

Not to thread-jack but I'm in a similar situation. I was trying to get RevRom1.4 to work. I'm rooted. I've installed that premium version of clockwork, and then installed clock work recovery. I was able to boot into CWR and get to the sd card and see revrom1.4 but it would not install. I get the error message "cannot open folder/file" something to that effect.
But I was still able to restart and go back into stock LG phone. After hours of frustration I decided to do a factory reset from the lg settings menu. My phone restarted, the LG logo comes up and then it goes to clock work recovery. I can't get out of it, and restarting it simply brings back up CWR.
I found the fix from thecubed about clockwork exit fix. But I have yet to try it (at school). Is this the way to go? Why won't it let me install roms from clockwork recovery?
Being a noob, I have no backups. Please help me!

Run the xip you saw that cubed posted that should fix you. Idk I never ran into that situation myself so I can't promise anything.
And side kick: Just do a full restore even if its from like your first backup. The restore will give you your boot image and everything back hopefully allowing the phone to finish the boot process. After it boots go back to CWR and do a data wipe then flash 1.4. Reboot and set the phone up. Should work fine. Hope this helps.

That CWM is not correct for our phone you need to use thecubed's CWM, it can be installed from the Revo_toolkit.
The exitrecovery.zip file should get you out of recovery. Then download the Revo_toolkit and install the correct version of CWM. After that you should be able to successfully install zip files and perform backup/recovery.

+1 to K0G for knowing that.
I did use Rev_Toolkit to install clockwork recovery. It is version v4.0.0.2.
The error I get when trying to install RevoltRom1.4 is "E:Can't open /sdcard/download/RevoltRom1.4zip (bad) Installation aborted."
I have no way to transfer that file to my sd card (well I do but its at my house) when I connect the phone to the computer, the sd card storage does not come up.

It shouldn't be in a download folder. It should be in the external sdcard in no folders. did you change the name of the zip file to /download/RevoltRom1.4.zip?

My phone downloads all files to the external sd (16 gig that came with phone) that is why it is there.
Should I eject the card and manually move it on my computer to just sd/revoltrom1.4 ?

That did not work but I was able to download thecubed's clockworkrecover loop and put it on the sd card and that indeed worked.
So why can't I install revoltrom1.4? from the sd??
*EDIT*
After I got back into my stock OS I redownloaded 1.4 and installed it in clockwork from the download folder on my sd card and it worked great. Who knows why. So it looks like I'm good to go, this thing is amazing!!!

I've been flashing Roms for over 2 years now sometimes you just get a bad Download..before flashing even an update to a Rom always do a Back up in clockwork first that way you have a fall back option
well, before this gets TOO off track, I do have back ups, but they all lead to the same thing. bootloop...

phone: Xperia T
Model: L30p (I think)
Ok so I'm a great newbie when it comes to rooting.
I successfully rooted my phone yesterday, but the GPS and WIFI was stuck on so I decided to unroot it back to its original state.
Not knowing it was a bad thing to do I formatted all of the options on a CWM-based recovery screen.
including the now-known must not do /system
Now, my phone will not start.
I have access to both fastboot and Flash and have tried flashing the default .ftf file for the phone (gotten from this site, so not sure if it is the default one.)
I have tried to connect it to PC Companion but it wont connect, not sure if there's a certain way to connect it to that.
I have put other kernels on to try and fix the problem without luck
Is there anything I can do to fix this or have I well and truly destroyed my phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Formatting the system wipes the ROM.
You need to flash a ftf using flashtool or repair your phone using pccompanion.
Look in the all in one thread to find a ftf for your phone and download the flashtool from the first thread in the dev section.
Or if you are using pccompanion, then run pccompanion and click software update. Click repair and when asked to attach the phone then make sure its turned off and keep the volume down button pressed whilst you attach the usb cable. This is the official way from sony

If you can get into recovery now, just flash it in recovery.
If not, extract the boot.img and flash it in flashtool using fastboot mode. You will now be able to enter recovery
Then flash the .zip in recovery to make sure you have the corect wifi modules
Then flash my ROM

Do you have an external sd card? Take that out and use a card reader to put the files onto it.
If not, flash the boot.img from doomkernel in fastboot, then you should be able to access recovery.
In recovery you can mount the SD card (Mounts and storage) and you should be able to see the SD card then

The rom is rooted as is the kernel.
You should have a superuser app in the app drawer.
I suggest you make a backup now in recovery and leave it on your sdcard in case anything happens again
Always backup just in case you ****up
Glad you are back in the land of the living again.
I will be updating my rom later in the week so keep an eye out for that

Keep in mind that the included recoveries in that tool kit are outdated and therefore won't be able of flashing KitKat ROMs. If you plan on using it, you must download the latest recovery you want to use yourself and replace it in the tool's sources.

Hi , i have a galaxy s gt-i9000m (canadian version of a gt-i9000) that stop working yesterday for no apparent reason (nothing new installed), it always reboot with the S logo. I can enter download or recovery mode. Is there a way to backup all files from phones via a computer. When i connect it to computer it sees 2 removable media disk but they show them as empty. Samsung Kies doesn't connect, tell me to change to usb debugging, but i cant since it dont boot.
i don't really care about phone (already have a new one to replace it), but i must backup files that are on phone, (over 8gb of stuff!)
phone is rooted and on ANDROID 2.3.
What can i try?
You say you can enter into recovery mode so try this if your new phone is an Android, make a nandroid backup of your old phone then put sdcard from your old phone into new phone then install "AppExtractor" free from market, extract files to new phone. not sure if it will work but you could try.

a few days ago i dropped my galaxy s2 in the toilet(dont laugh) so i went to using my brother's old s plus I9001.
long story short,i tried to upgrade the 2.3.3 to a 4.2.2 Jellybean using this guide : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4579...alaxy-s-plus-i9001-android-4.htm#.VAWoGfmSzGA
i searched a few other guides beforehand,most of which stated that i need a rooted phone,so i rooted it using a guide i found on this forum(here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001)
this is everything i did :
1. Connect the Galaxy S Plus to your computer.
2. Unrar the CM 10.1 firmware RAR file you have downloaded
3. Copy the CM 10.1 firmware you have extracted from the unrar file to the SD card of your phone.
4. Turn off the Galaxy S Plus.
5. Reboot the device into Recovery mode. Press Volume up + Home + Power keys simultaneously. You can flash this ROM using the stock recovery or a custom recovery app.
6. In the Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."
7. Then select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card." Search for the firmware you have copied on the device.
8. Select the firmware file and install it.
9. Go back and select "reboot system now."
so everything went well,until i tried rebooting the device.im stuck now at the cyanogenmod logo.basically i have a boot loop isue.
being a noob at these kind of things,my first thought was that my phone had bircked,so i followed an unbricking tutorialobviously,it didnt work.
can you please help me solve this bootloop s**t? :good::good:

Then download CWM Recovery and try it again.
Remember to flash TWRP after that.

but i cant get cmw recovery on my phone if i cant acces the memory :/
try using Aroma File Manager here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 it won't install to your phone, it's a temporary file manager that you flash in recovery.
the problem is that i cant copy anything on my sd card,because my computer doesnt recognize the phone anymore after flashing twrp

Flash CWM Recovery using Odin.
Read this (How to install ODIN Version).
Download the following:
Odin
CWM Recovery
AriesVE.ops
If it still doesn't work I suggest you to go back to stock and repeat the procedure.

Make sure the Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Also uninstall/disable KIES (if it's installed).
i did that but it didnt work.i found out that the computer only recognizes my phone when it's in download mode,so i can only flash through odin.currently trying to flash cwm,but it beats me.currently trying to return to a stock rom,will post updates
