As the title says I have the problem that I'm stuck in a bootloop. (LG Logo coming up over and over again)
May initial plan was to root the phone (for ClockworkMod, I used AIO-Toolkit), then do a factory reset and then make a backup of the Stock Sytem before attempting to flash the Custom Rom. So there is no Custom Rom on my Phone at the moment. The rooting worked fine and I was able to start it up. Then I turned it off again and entered the Recovery Menu (PWR + Vol -) and selected the option "wipe data/factory reset". Expecting that this would do a factory reset. Then I started it back up and it was stuck in the bootloop. I do have still access to the Recovery Menu. The ClockworkMod is on version 6.0.1.5. I already tried taking out the battery for a few seconds and starting up again and I also tried wiping the Cache and the Delvik Cache and apply the factory reset again. No change.
My Android is still on version 2.3.4 GB. So still the old bootleader as far as I know.
I hope the information I provided were helpfull.
Thanks in advance. I hope you guys can help me.
P.s.: I'm from Germany so my english is far from perfect. I hope it wasn't too bad ^^
FIXED IT!
Flashed a new 2.3.4 V20Q with SmartFlash.
Before that I had a V20R. I am not 100% sure what the difference is but it looks fine.

Hey guys i need some serious help
Im coming from cm5.0.8.1,froyo radio, pershoots kernel. I tried to go to jand-o-rama. final 9.
So i did a nandroid back + clockworkmod backup. Now i wiped evrything,dalvik-cache, cache, restore/factory settings and battery. When i was flashing kand-o-rama everything went well except the last part were i think it was flashing the kernel. It said error(couldn't remember the code). So i did another full wipe and tried to restore to my previous version but when i did its just stuck on the colored X with the unlock sign. I tried several full wipe/restore with no luck. I also tried to full wipe/restore factory settings then reboot but still wouldn't go past the bootloader.
Also tried to reinstall fastboot but still the same.
Im not good with ADB so pls if you can help me with my dilemma.
Pls pls..
Thanks!
This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.
I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!
It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc
Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?
Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.
reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

I upgraded to ICS with mobile ODIN method described in development forum and everything went OK, ICS was there and working OK. Then i did factory reset and that also went ok, then i did backup with clockwork mod an decided to restore my old gingerbread ROM because I haven't got tim to play with ICS today. Then everything went wrong. While restoring Gingerbread ROM my note just reseted itself and could not boot pass galaxy note letters. Then tried to get him in download mode and succeded to flash it with factory KJ1 rom, but when it booted, it's just not working. It's stuck in Welcome to GT-N7000 (touch the android icon to begin) screen, and just inform me that some of the services could not be started. When i touch android icon nothing happens. Is there a way to repair this an can anibody tell me what happened?
Take your battery out, wait for 1 minute.
Put it back in, boot into CWM (Volume up + Home + Power)
Do a factory reset.
Reboot.
I don't have cwm anymore because i flashed factory kj1 rom with odin from my PC

You will still have stock android recovery. Go wipe cache and format data there and reboot.
Thanks very much, it did work, I really am a noob
I have an S5830D that I flash an CM7 rom to (APOCALYPSE-FINAL), I'm now looking at getting back to stock. I'm having trouble getting my CWM restore back. Now after doing some searching I realized I would need to flash a stock firmware version through odin. I went out and found what i believe is the correct firmware version for this Koodo model (the name is S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4_HOME.tar.md5) and tried to flash it.
Everything in odin goes through fine up to the point where it restarts the phone, Ill attach a screenshot of what shows up for me. After the screen shows up is when I get stuck in a bootloop where the phone model shows, then the koodo bootanimation shows followed by the samsung logo. I should note though I still have complete access to recovery, the downloader mode, and even the CM rom when i restore that backup. The fact I have access to all those gives me hope as I'm sure this could be reversed.
Any advice on how I can restore this phone to stock would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very familiar with samsung devices so please try to be patient with me as I realize I have gotten into something over my head.
PS Sorry about the glare on the image its the best I could do as it disappears quickly.

If you have complete access to recovery mode, try wiping data and cache after flashing with Odin. That does the trick for me when I have a bootloop after flashing with Odin.

Agreed... reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot.
So I've just completed a new flash with odin, I went in and flashed cwm then proceeded to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and I even do battery reset. Every wipe goes fine except for when I attempt to do the factory reset I received the following error:
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Even after those wipes it still bootloops but thats most likely as the factory reset didn't work.

Try not using CWM, or your SD card may be corrupt and you have to format it, I'm not sure though.

That did it, for some reason I had this thought in my head I had to flash cwm right away and clear stuff that way. Once odin finished I went in recovery and wiped data and cache through the stock recovery and it booted right up. Thanks for the help really appreciate it.
Hi guys. Recently I have been using my phone and it hit 1% battery then went dead.
I charged it and rebooted it but it was stuck on the samsung logo.
I cleared my cache and dalvic but no luck ):
I also tried to Go back to GB stock and when I did it it works but keeps saying android something as crashed and every time I hit OK, It just popped up again.
I tried using Odin on my PC to go back to ICS but STILL stuck on the logo.
Made a NANDROID backup but still no luck...
Please help me!
are you on ICS now? if so, install philz kernel from recovery , reboot into recovery and perform a wipe data / factory reset. this should boot up the phone. if on GB, just go into recovery and do a factory reset

Hi, I did a factory reset. Although it was my final resort.
Do you think my phone will still be stuck when I recover from NANDROID?
if the nandroid has bad data then it will. but still worth a try as you can do a factory wipe to get booted again

Ok I will give it a try thank you I will report back if anything is gone wrong.
+1 thanks
this happened with me a month ago , i installed an app from store and it asked to reboot my device , when i did so , my note lagged on the shining samsung logo .
All what i did is flashing my note with original stock firmware using Odin , and the device still working perfectly till now ..
** my device version is ICS .
** most devices won't loss their data using this method , 'cuz it's like a software update ..
best of luck
