[Q] i9000 galaxy s stuck on start up loop, factory reset, wipe cache, still loops

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.

go to recovery>mount option> mount usb option and get your data ..
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.

Stuck in recovery N920W8

Hi
I took the plunge and decided to root my Note 5, I have got as far as installing recovery and can get into recovery but cannot reboot into android and TWRP is saying the phone storages are not there.
The phone appears to be stuck in a bootloop. I can still get to download mode and into recovery but cannot access the internal storage.
I think I should of performed a factory reset/cleared caches before flashing TWRP but didn't perform this step. I did enable oem unlock before starting to root.
I'm having trouble finding out if I can recover my phone, And a lot of the info seems to be hard to find.
At the moment I'm trying smart switch, any more information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use Samsung Smart Switch .... you have to fill in your note model then serial number ... dont forget your pc must have internet connection ... after smart switch find out compatible firmware on the internet for your model , then connect your note5 to smart switch (in download mode)

Moto E4 plus restart loop

Hello everyone, I'm new to this platform, hope you guys will bear with my limited knowledge and help me out.
So, I have a Moto E4 plus device which was working fine, until one day, I used up its entire battery and it switched off. I took it and put it on charging, not knowing what was about to happen. When the battery was charged to 70% or something, I started the phone and unlocked it, but in like 10 seconds, it restarted automatically. I didn't download anything, never rooted the device, it was in original condition. Now, the phone is stuck in restart loop. Every time I restart the device, it works for 5 seconds, and then it goes in a loop of restarting again and again. I went to the recovery mode, backup up all the internal data in an SD card. The backup shows 13 files of 2GB each with an extension ".backup". I don't know how to access them.
Then, I did a hard reset and it worked just fine with no issues at all. Now, I need those files as they are very important for me, considering they have the last memories of someone I lost (not playing the emotional card, I hope you might feel the depth of the situation). Can anyone please help with accessing these files?
1. I did restore the files from recovery mode from that SD card, but the same issue reappears again.
2. I have all the 13 files copied with me in my PC
3. I tried wiping cache partition, it doesn't work
Need one of the two solutions
A. How to access these backup files, considering they are 13 files of 2 GB each with ".backup" extension
B. Accessing the files in recovery mode (the phone gives only a 5 seconds window which is eaten up in unlocking the screen)
Kindly give a solution which a layman can understand , hope you understand.
PS, I never even turned the developer's option on & the data is important, not the phone
Thank you!

Most likely that they are only usable to recovery that they were created with.
Was this Twrp? or stock recovery?

It was stock recovery, but I have my phone accessible in that state also. Is there any possibility to create a custom backup without actually booting up the phone or accessing those stock recovery files?

Question My Realme x7 max 5G stuck in recovery loop after uninstalling bloatare like glance, finshell pay, hot apps

like the title says I uninstalled the mentioned apps using adb and all of a sudden my camera stopped working so I decided for a simple restart and the device stuck in the loop ever since.
it restarts several times and open realme UI recovery and when I choose language it says " KINDLY REMINDER : system error, after select language, please select Online update(keep data) to recovery system, thanks! " .
So I did what the message said and I connect the wifi but instead of updating it says no updates found.
I also tried to wipe data but I got asked whether to retain contacts/media or format data.
I obviously tried the first one because I need the data but as expected it didn't work.
I am skeptical to clean format because I feel that I can still fix it with retaining the data.
I tried all the key combinations but only the realme UI recovery comes up . Please help me!
thank you

I don't think you'll be able to fix this without a full reflashing of the ROM using SP Tools and a format of the data partition from Recovery. You probably don't have access to full ADB now, if at all, and Fastboot won't help you recover anything. However, you should be able to rescue important files before you do this, as long as you have unlocked your bootloader.
Follow the steps here to install TWRP custom recovery. Once done, you can boot into it from fastboot by running `fastboot reboot recovery`. Once you're in TWRP, you can mount partitions so you can access them over USB from your PC.
Once you've got your important files transferred to your PC, take a full backup to be safe, then flash the stock ROM. This thread can help you do both of those things. Note that flashing the stock ROM using SP Tools will also restore the stock recovery. Once the process is done, boot right into fastboot and use it to reboot back into the stock recovery before letting it actually boot the ROM. Format your data partition (yes the whole thing). Now you can restart, and it should go through first time setup just fine.

I was going to uninstall these apps, but was too lazy. Guess lazyness is not too bad after all.

Unfortunately I had to go for the latter option of complete reset with the loss of data to get my device boot up . It seems the option to recover the device with data seems too complicated and not to mention the fact that this process is not without it's own risks. If you want an easy out from this issue I suggest that you complete format the device and have your important data backed up from now.
And Obviously I had data not backed up which I wanted on my device during this issue but it wasn't too important and I could let go of it cuz rest of my data was backed up.. but being the nerd I am, I tried to recover that data too.. but as I said it wasn't worth the time and risk for me so I chose the latter option.
Hope this helps! Do reply if you need further assistance !

for me the issue was like i just downgraded my device to the a.15 firmware after setting up i uninstalled the bloatware apps and some google apps which were not needed obviously and restarted my device and it got a bootloop, the issue of bootloop wasn't new to me i previoulsy had the same issue when i have downgraded to a.19 firmware. there is a simple fix, if you want to get rid of the bloatware apps now also you can use the disable command like.
(pm uninstall-user --user 0 ----package name---) this will not give any bootloop and can enjoy a part of RAM....
THIS WILL HELP

Samsung galaxy note 8 recovery bootloop issue

I've been using the same ROM, TWRP recovery for 5 years without issues, but today, I tried to restart the phone and it seem to bootloop in the bootloader Animation, then I tried to soft reset with (volume down+power)button, then it started bootloop with recovery, the phone name shows for more than 2 minutes and then it shows TWRP loading page, then it loads for 5 seconds and there is no touch working in it, power button worked to lock it but after 5 seconds of no response, screen turned black and the bootloop started all over, I can go to download mode with (volume down+Bixby+power)button and return to the bootloop .
(it has a lot of essential files for my college and android development related data, not backed up)
Device: Samsung galaxy note 8
Model: SM-N950F(greatlte)
Root: SuperSU
Recovery: TWRP 3.1.1-0
Update(1): I got access to internal storage from TWRP, but the recovery doesn't stay, it stays for 5 seconds and goes back to loop, went to repair shop they said it's neither Buttons short issue nor battery, it's the RAM or something inside the motherboard. But now if the motherboard is damaged, how can pc still detect internal storage normally for 5 seconds in TWRP, I didn't flash the same version TWRP again because I really think it would revoke the internal storage access. Is that true?
Thanks for the support

This model has a card slot, so by backing up in twrp to external memory, you should have all the data you need to recover. Because for what other purpose to do a backup in twrp to internal memory?
If you didn't backup in twrp, your only hope is to replace the battery with a working one and try to boot.
