I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.
I'm trying to do a factory reset on my 8GB Nexus 7. It was rooted and unlocked on stock 4.2.1 with stock bootloader/recovery. When I boot into recovery, hold power and tap volume up, I get the menu and pick factory data reset, then select Yes to start the wipe. It then starts to show Formatting /data... and does nothing. I've let it sit for an hour; no change. I've tried temporarily booting TWRP and wiping data that way...same thing - say's it's wiping, but left it for over an hour and it appears to make no progress.
Next Steps? I've tried doing the fastboot flash commands to restore stock but still run into the reason for the factory reset - I'm getting the "enter your password to decrypt" message but none of my passwords are working; apparently factory reset is only way to fix.
go to the main device settings, backup and reset, then press factory data reset.

Try using a tool to wipe your tablet.

Can't get into the device settings, hence the attempt to wipe data in recovery.

Have a tool suggestion? Whether I follow the fastboot guide to restoring to stock or use a tool, I still receive the "Enter password to decrypt storage" message; only way around that is to do a factory reset. I haven't seen any tools that allow me to do a factory reset.

HTC One M7 stuck at Android recovery
Did a factory reset for no reason and my phone died while it was resetting. Ever since it's been stuck at the android recovery, Factory reset isn't
working, gives me the error : Failed to mount data, pretty much tried everything, with no luck
what's hapenning, anyone know how to help me, i'm almost giving up on it.
Tried wiping cache, connecting to pc shows me a blank usb drive that's inacessable, can't find phone on htc sync, tried to adb shell: No devices found.
P.s - The phone had no problems prior to the needless reset, the phone wasn't rooted.
I seem to be having the same issue. Mine soft bricked and the Factory Reset failed.
Mine shows:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Backup Data Preload
Backup CW Package
Restore Data Preload
Restore CW Package
Formatting\/cache
Data Wipe Complete.
Write host_mode:0 done
Then it gives me the same system recovery menu. Rebooting just put it right back into the same loop.

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work backup your device and perform a Hard Factory reset

Adding DUN to the APN name Types list fixed this problem for me
I have Android 10 with 2.0 UI.
Have we lost the ability to move the brightness bar to the navigation? There use to be an option for it right under the adaptive brightness option, but on mine, it's not there anymore.

I'll try the wipe in recovery mode, as I just did a factory reset last Sunday, and it was in the notification bar then.
I just recently did a factory reset about 10 days ago, and I think that's when the ability to move it disappeared. I also tried clearing the cache in recovery, and that didn't help either.
