[Q] GT-S6500D Boot Loop after updating CWM from 6.0.3.2 to 6.0.4.7

Hello everybody.
I was trying to install CyanogenMod 11.0 for Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 but after getting Status 7 error, I did some research and found out that I had to update the CWM to the newest one.
I updated it successfully from the old CWM and after restart it booted me into the new one. Than I rebooted the phone and since then, it started looping. It doesn't go into recovery mode. Only if I push Volume Down + home + Power, it goes into Download Mode.
I googled but I couldn't find anything that would help.
I'm inexperienced in die-hard tweaking on Android but I'm not a newbie in mobile phones (Proud ex owner of N900).
Please help and thank you in advance

One sure way to fix this is to go back to stock. You said that you can go to download mode. So use odin to flash stock.
Another way would be to use adb to get into recovery, but I don't know if you have access to adb.

Thank you very much, that helped, but am I now able to install CyanogenMod 11? If so, should I try the same routine or is there any boot-loop safe way to install it?
Thank you again.

I have never used cwm 6.0.4.7. I always used cwm 6.0.4.5 and I had no problem installing CM 11 with this. So what I suggest is:
-First flash cwm via odin (whatever version you find available).
-Then via cwm flash an update to cwm-6.0.4.5.
-Then wipe data/cache and /system.
-Flash cm11.
-(Perhaps flash gapps?)
-Reboot and enjoy (it will take a lot of a time to boot for first time so be patient)
Warning: While using cwm 6.0.3.2 avoid using option "reboot to recovery". This is what will get you stuck in a recovery bootloop.
After upgrating to 6.0.4.5 you should be ok.

first,Revive your phone from bootloop like @bleached said .. and after that maybe you want to redownload the CWM ?? or use other build ?? like version 6.0.3.3 ?? and after that flash the Update (CWM 6.0.4.5) ..
just saying ..

Already fixed it

oh okay ...

The problem was that upgrading from cwm 6.0.3.3 to 6.0.4.7 was causing the bootloop. I Just updated cwm to 6.0.4.5. Everthings fine now. Thanks for ur help. (Attempt)

It has internal SD mount problems, but not everyone has this problem. For some it just works fine.
Also I think that 6.0.4.7 also has the same problem.
Finally there is a 6.0.4.5 that I've uploaded that avoids mounting internal SD and only mounts external SD. Just for those who have mount problems and still want to install KitKat (because KitKat needs cwm 6.0.4.5 +)

thanks

You can try flash stock rom with SP tools.
If doesnt work, use format + update firmware option in SP tool to flash stock rom.
Then download cwm recovery and flash it trought Mobile Uncle Tools.
Dont forget to backup your IMEI/nvram

Ok, this might sound weird but once when this issue happened to me, I don't know how or why but when I downloaded the towelroot apk and clicked on make it ra1n and then reinstalled SuperSu, then the recovery started working again.
It's weird but give it a shot... Worked for me once..

No this didn't work also.cant boot recovery.although when i open rom manager it says "current recovery team win recovery project"

You can install the 3-way recovery pack.
Rashr doesn't work on Stock ROM (not for me at least)

Lollipop and Recovery issue!!

Hello,
I flashed Lollipop 5.0.2 and rooted with KingUser, everything is working fine. I am trying to install Xposed through Recovery TWRP, but it's showing error "E: Error executing binary in zip '/external_sd/Xposed/xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip" and then E: Unable to mount /sytem/cache/data/sdcard.
I tried flashing another version and it's still showing the same error even with CWM, TWRP or Philz.
I would appreciate your help, I need xposed to install Xprivacy, PLEASE!
Thank you a lot.

You don't have to go back to 4.3 to install the recovery.
You download the latest recovery extract it somewhere the start install.bat and then you follow the instructions

Question Unable to mount storage on twrp

I have tried twrp as well as orangefox but in recovery mode it is not able to access internal storage. Also it does not ask for screen lock password. I tried wiping data which temporarily works but next time when I get into recovery it again shows internal storage as 0mb. Any fix for this?
Thanks in advance

Yes, if it's required password for decryption just insert your phone password/passcode.

To clarify: it asks for decryption password on first flash and after formatting data> rebooting into recovery, it shows no internal storage.
