Hello, today I was using my phone just like usually, when I arrived home I've put it on charge. After I noticed that it was rebooting, and even after it was almost fully charged it keeps rebooting.
I tried to uninstall some apps, clearing the system cache partition in the Recovery menu, but nothing.
Before trying to do a hard reset, I would like to backup the data on the sd card, but since the phone reboot in about 1 minute after, it is impossible to do something.
I tried to read the sd card on the pc, but it keep asking to format it. And now that I've put it back in the phone I can't see the images :crying:
Ps: I've been able to recover a few photos on the external sdcard using SkiSoft android toolkit, but I discovered that i also have photos on the internal sdcard, but It just recover a few pictures, probably because the device keeps rebooting.
Is ther a way to try to backup/explore those folders keeping the phone in recovery mode, since when in this way it do not reboot?

I have installed cwm, and tried a backup... then I've installed the new firmware with odin ( w. androidgalaxys. net/news-samsung/nuova-serie-di-firmware-per-il-galaxy-s3-mini-i8190xxanf3/) but it keeps rebooting after less the a minute...

Yesterday my phone started acting up:
- Applications started failing
- Couldn't uninstall apps (it acted like they uninstalled, but they were back after reboot)
I tried wiping from recovery mode, but all apps are still there
I've even tried using Odin to do a master clear and reflash to stock, yet all the apps are still there. All the startup apps crash when I restart the phone, including the launcher, so the phone is unusable.
I'm desperate here, as I'm without a phone... any help is greatly appreciated
Ok put the phone in download mode but don't reboot to download mode where you see the yellow droid. Make sure you are at the home screen. Then run Odin then plug the phone in and make sure odin recognizes it. Then hit master clear and the phone will be wiped. Then put it back to download mode, with the yellow droid and then flash back to stock.
That's exactly what I've already done, but I'll try it again
Actually, follow up question; how do I put it into download mode without going to the yellow screen?
Another edit: did you mean to say debugging mode?
Yeah sorry I keep referring to usb debugging as download mode sorry for that.
setting > applications > development > usb debugging
ok, completed the master clear. It stated everything was successful. After the reboot, the phone came back, all apps still installed, and all apps still trying to launch on startup and FC-ing immediately. Going to try the reflash to stock now
Same thing... after master clear and reflashing, everything is still there...
Do a facotry reset from the privacy menu and see how that works if not then reboot into recovery and clear data/cache and see if that does anything. Master clear completely wipes the phone there is nothing on it at all. Can you get into any program to uninstall stuff.
I would take it back and tell them its got a mind of its own.
I've tried all of those things multiple times. When using uninstall programs, the device acts like it's uninstalling, but does it way too quickly and says it's successful. They're still there, though, and after I reboot they show up again.

Ok here is what you do...Menu/settings/sd card and phone storage..scroll to internal storage and unmount sd card...then format sd card...Then reboot in to downlaod mode and reflash with odin 1 click...after it boots up reboot into recovery mode and clear cache and user data...then reboot and you will be good to go...You willl lose all your stuff on your internal storage so back up anything important...
Sadly this didn't do the trick either, and I unmounted/formatted the internal twice for good measure. It's like there's a hardware problem, or the storage is locked out somehow. I gave up earlier today and called in the warranty, so there's a refurb on the way now. I hate to give up, but I think it was the only remaining option
Hi,
I have tried to upgrade the ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
The upgrade was successful but the phone was not running well, so I tried to restore the previous ROM by using ROM Manager app.
For some reason the restore did not take place when the phone was rebooted.
After this, the phone will not boot.
When I press the power button, only the welcome screen comes on, but nothing happens.
I tried to enter recovery mode, by pressing volume-up+home+power, but nothing happens (the welcome screen comes on and that's about it).
Download mode is working.
When I try to connect the phone to the PC in download mode the PC recognizes it, but in other modes, the USB is not recognized.
What should I do to restore my phone to its previous state?
Is there another way to enter recovery mode?
Thanks,
Dubi
Use odin to flash another firmware to it, I have links below in my sig.
Instructions should be within the threads, but its essentially put the files in the matching names, and click repartition (this wipes the phone) and click start
Thanks for your quick reply.
I am not sure that I understand the difference between recovering the old ROM and flashing a new one, as you suggested.
If I use the Odin with the download mode, will it erase the contents of my internal sd-card as well and contact information or will this information still be available and I can use it to restore my phone (for example I used Titanium backup to backup the contents of my applications etc.)?
In other words, what are the differences between the two methods?
Thanks again,
Dubi
Odin is usually considered a fresh install, it usually deletes everything on your phone, (sometimes internal sd card, but not always). When you do flash through odin its like a factory reset so you will loose all contact info and app info etc. If you saved your backup on internal sd then you will loose that if you internal sd is wiped.
Going through recovery it depends on the rom and contents of the zip. Sometimes it will factory reset your phone, sometimes it wont. Usually it is advised to wipe if you are changing to a different rom, but as you said it was only an update and so it probably wouldn't require a wipe.
In your case yes everything will be wiped via Odin, and possibly your internal sd card will remain.
Titanium backup will allow you to restore the apps and data you have backed up.
Unless you can get back into recovery it may not be possible to save everything that was on there previously. The only way that I think may work is by using adb, and typing adb reboot recovery. If that works then you should maybe try the update again, or try another zip
Solve it? lemme know
i've tried everything on the net, it still keeps continuously looping. It would initially go the home screen and start doing the memory scan and i'd have access to the screen and then all of a sudden restart.
then i did a factory reset by going into the recovery mode, now it loads up and asks me to fill in my details like a new phone, when it reboots again.
what else is left to try, i cant even access my data on the internal sd card as the stupid thing wont stay on long enough to copy my data over through usb. As it keeps booting within 10seconds of loading the home screen.
i can access recovery mode and download mode.
please help
P.S. is this problem with just the galaxy s or all android phones, as it frankly is ******** me off to the point i'm thinking of going back to my candy bar Nokia phones, instead of dealing with this pile of **** every few months.
P.P.S. i am on android gingerbread with voodoo kernal, both of which have been fine for the last few months.

If you have important data on your internal card:
goto recovery mode, then mounts and storage,
connect your usb cable, choose mount usb storage in the recovery (dont choose the unmount usbcard!!).
Now you can access your internal storage.
Also you can try to flash the semaphore kernel from the development section.
After that do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery.

As fas as rom is concerned try to flash a stock de-odexed rom using odin . Might help
having tried flashing 2.1 (eclair) rom? with pit files
hope this works
cheers
Have you tried recovery/backup and restore and made a backup? Then I would remove external sd and simcard, back to recovery/storage and format the sd card. (this will wipe the internal card AND the external if it is in!!) Then remove battery, boot to download and flash a stock rom using odin, boot the phone, remove batt flash a kernel then flash your custom rom.
thanks guys, didn't know about the mount usb storage thing in recovery mode, at least my stuff is safe.
Did 4-5 factory resets and every time it would stay on for longer before falling into the boot loop. as of last dozen hours or so it is working fine. (hope its not a hardware failure, but merely software, phones nearly out of warranty)
But if it keeps happening again, will take your advice, mount my phone, copy my stuff over and install another ROM.
happy and relieved chap for the moment.
well the boot loop is back, but some more info, this time it seems that whenever i try to turn on wifi or use wifi the boot loop starts. So long as wifi is disabled its fine.
From what i've read it seems to be specific to the three network rom.
anyone know of a stable rom, preferably the most stablest rom without any problems out there, that they can recommend?
or even better, if better the stock default unbranded goodle rom for this phone without any network changes, that wont give me any problems?
all i wanted was a simple fast phone without any problems, might be forced to go to the dark side and buy an apple if this continues.
So today i was clearing out some stuff, after deleting all the apk files i downloaded.
i went to the system folder. i see this folder named App, i went in it, i see all these Apk files, so i thought they're just the file you use to install those applications. so i selected all, then deleted everything.
Then, a lot of things popped out, and this one wouldn't go away, it says Android.Phone stopped working. so i took my batteries out, and rebooted it. But it just shows the LG logo, then the loading, then starts over again.
I tried Volume Up + Power key, it just showed a the rest box thing, but after a bit, it just restarted the repeating process.
And i can't connect my phone to my computer because you have to set the USB mode on, while the phone is on.
ANY help?. Please. three year contract, and i have no clue what to do.

try the nvflash method to flash a stock ROM....by the way have you rooted your device?on custom ROM?have u a backup if you are rooted?
check in the dev thread if you bare rooted and want to flash the nvflash...
hope it helps
You seem to have root, because without you could not access the system folder. To get in the recovery menue you need to push and hold power + vol down(!) on your off-switched device. From there, restoring a nandroid-backup would be the easyest way. If you didnt made a backup, you can get back to a stock rom with smartflash and nvflash but you will loose your data.

I don't think he has CWM, Only a rooted device so it will be hard for him to get his /system back without any Backup...
Try NVFlash method or Smartflash, located in the Android Development section of this Forum.
I fail to understand why would someone be messing in the system folder without having a full backup

I have tried that, and got CWM now, i don't mind losing all my data, but. Is just that i've gotten an external SD card from one of my old phone, and i put a ROM on it. But I can't seem to find the External SD card anywhere on the phone. _ExternalSD has basically nothing in it. Anyway to get it?...
I rooted my phone before i deleted the system files. But does it matter now that I wiped everything?.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG i fixed it, i mounted the USB, then put the ROM in the internal SD card, THANK YOU GUYS
In short: Canceled Factory Reset, Now my SD card is not being detected properly and I am unable to format/mount it in recovery
Hey Everyone,
I've recently created quite a frustrating problem on my HTC Vivid that I'm unable to figure out. While attempting to go into CWM Recovery to check what version I have I accidentally selected Factory Reset from the bootloader. I quickly pulled the battery, as my back cover was off, within a second or two of this selection, and to my knowledge the phone was still on the bootloader screen and hadn't begun the process. After rebooting into my ROM and I attempted to install TWRP Recovery via Goo Manager in preparation for flashing a new ROM. After the download timer expired my Goo Manager crashed. Any attempt to install via Goo Manager since then is giving me this error, or it just hangs at the download web page. I suspect that this is because of the botched Factory Reset I mentioned earlier, and I'm worried I've somehow messed up the internal SD. My internal sd card is not detected by the camera app nor correctly seen in my file manager, in settings it is reported at the correct size, but apparently all my media has been deleted. I'm unable to format/mount ext sd or emmc in Recovery. My questions are: Has my sd card been corrupted, and If so, why did all my apps and user data remain? Secondly, how can I remedy this situation? I should mention that my phones data port is basically unusable, so I am unable to connect my device to a PC and use adb/fastboot.
My recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 and my ROM is CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Oct-31] My phone is unlocked and S-OFF
Update: I tried to Factory Reset, thinking maybe what got me into this mess would get me out, but that option just takes me into recovery. This leaves me even more puzzled. I followed that up with a factory reset/davlik cache wipe from recovery but that hasn't done anything either. My conclusion thus far is that I need to somehow reformat my internal storage, is that possible without connecting my phone to a pc?
Thank you for any responses, and taking the time to read this.
I inadvertently hit the factory reset once from the boot loader and it did the reset in just a few seconds. It hosed my internal memory and unfortunately had to run the ruu to fix it. I know that is not what you want to hear if you can't connect it to a computer.

Seriously?
I have answered this question literally 100 times...
Please use the search feature...
Or at least scroll down and read thread titles...
And if your port is borked... Replace it

I did a forum search, I was unable to find a satisfactory answer so I started my own thread. (All were referring to using some method of connecting the phone to a PC)
If anyone is wondering, I solved my problem by simply doing a reset/data wipe via recovery and reflashing my ROM. During setup it prompted me to format my internal storage and now my phone is behaving as normal.
