[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eaudexs:
Hi xda,

I ran into a problem I've never faced today. Before you start assuming, I've done my research. I've searched all over the forums, tried multiple solutions (none worked) and... potentially permabricked it?

Rooted for 7 months, running Jedi Mind Tricks v5.1 Android 4.0.3

How it happened: Today I noticed my phone running really wierdly. It would crash apps constantly, which didn't happen yesterday. So I put it on *close all apps after exiting* on developer options and limited it to run 2 background apps. Throughout the day, my phone would just restart out of absolutely nowhere: in the middle of a text, after unlocking my phone. Each time progressively got shorter between the restarts. It would also freeze a lot of the time. This never happened before today. Maybe a freeze or two, but not this bad.

Did a few battery pulls, no dice. Then this is where it gets worse. The time between boot loops were from 1-2 minutes now. I was getting pissed, so I decided I needed to wipe it and install a new rom. I enter recovery mode CMW 5.0 and do an initial factory reset. Half way through, it crashes again. Now all it does is vibrate constantly until I turned it back on into recovery. Launches recovery. I try to super wipe it. Half way through, crashes again. I try this several times in conjunction with battery pulls. Doesn't work.

I pull sim card, SD card and battery out, let it rest before I reset it.

Then I tried to Odin its ass. I bricked it into the yellow warning screen about a updated system error because I fail with Odin. I searched around to find a solution. I redid Odin to stock kernel it. When it revived, it went into the loading screen. Yes! Progress! It was 99% done with loading when it froze on it. Fml. Battery pull, reboot, and it goes back into its habitual boot loop pattern. I can still access CMW, but it still crashes when I try to super wipe/wipe it.

I have to fix this because, well I bought this from someone with no warranty and using a no contract provider.

Help?

UPDATE: I was able to successfully superwipe my phone, then reinstall Mind Tricks as the rom of choice onto it. It doesn't freeze. Simply bootloops again and again. I don't know what to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Firstly I suggest upgrading your recovery to 6.x via odin. Then superwipe. Redownload mind trick fresh, flash mind trick, wipe data/factory reset via recovery and try to boot letting it settle for about five minutes. If this fails, flash back to stock via Odin to rule out hardware faults.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eaudexs:
I've been looking through some how-to's but I can't seem to find how to upgrade recovery using odin. I can only find the .img file and instructions on how to do it via command lines. Any advice?

Thanks

Good suggestion but better yet ...... I had the same issue on cwm.... get twrp 2.2 look for the flashable download....... 2.3 has a few bugs so stick wit .2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ctrlaltdeln:
Definitely get twrp on it. Flashing twrp solved 99% of my problems running cm10. Zero rr in weeks. If I were you I would go back to stock for your device. After confident its running like it should. Then root and and go nuts.

I've personally never really had to pull the battery, very rarely. I'm worried about your ram. Could it b corrupted? A short somewhere? All unrecoverable.

I wonder if you could somehow mount your device using Linux. And run memory tests or drive diagnostics.(just thinking out loud).

Twrp is definitely a must. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
Try doing complete wipes and reflashing a different more stable rom and see if it happens again. There are scripts to do complete and total wipes just to make sure you get a clean install (kind of like the others suggested) atleast yours can turn on so your not hard-bricked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
That's great how you guys are saying twrp solved your issues! It's really funny when cm10 supports cwm recovery. But op, let me see if I still have mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eaudexs:
Thank you guys for all the suggestion. I was able to finally install CMW 5.5 on Odin, then go to 6.0 through flashing it. Then I super wiped it several times, normal wipe data/user settings, Darkside super wipe, then install Jedi Mind Trick X, super cache wipe, mount system, then rebooted. It worked for several minutes before locked on boot loop again.

Can someone post the link to TWRP touch for flash? That would be awesome.

I've also been thinking if it could be an external hardware problem and not a software problem. How could I run the diagnostics like you had suggested?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonny_sin:
my sgs2 did this last month i did the same you did. after no fix i installed a cwmtouch through odin just to be able to restore a back up and worked flawlessly. After that i switched to TWRP again flashed it with no problem through odin and my s2 has been working fine ever since, but fyi i updated twrp to its 2.3.1.1 version and now i get errors can still restore but cant flash jb roms and can only do dirty flashes of ics roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eaudexs:
I'm currently in the process of trying to flash twrp. Is it uncommon that when I went into recovery, it also boot looped on me several time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
what version of TWRP are you trying to use? NO it does not bootloop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eaudexs:
I did a full wipe, script wipe, with Darkside using CMW6 and restored an old backup. It still crashes. I'm starting to think it's hardware problems. I haven't gone to TWRP because I can't find a flashable 2.2 version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Nah my man you do not use the script with CWM6 thats your problem right there

Thank you my friend. I was able to finally find a 2.2 TWRP and I flashed it via odin. Did full wipes, full cache wipes, flashed a rom. Fixed permission and all that good stuff. Left it off for 10 minutes. Came back, it started running through initialization. About 4 minutes in, it crashes again. I'm starting to think this could be hardware problem.

Do not use scripts with the new CWM 6 as it will cause this. Manually wipe everything and do not use scripts. You can use scripts with twrp but not the latest cwm
[HTC Amaze 4G] Grous:
Hello,

I've got an HTC Amaze that's been rooted, but done fine for a few weeks/months, at first it's battery seemed to be the problem, and after replacing it things were normal. Now, the phone doesn't seem to respond or give any sign of life until its plugged in, and the only thing that changes is that the orange light glows. When unplugged the light remains on, but the screen is always dark, yet each of the buttons on the touch screen's face (home, settings, back, search) make the phone rumble when touched and I can access all the files from my laptop. It's functioning, I just can't see anything, no water damage, and no recent falls before it went dark.

It's not a bad usb, but can someone help me fix it?

I'm trying to root my Fire and have the ADB drivers working and ran the .bat in the KFU folder and the ADB status is online. Before I go any further I am looking for steps on what to do, especially in regards to installing a ROM (whichever the most popular is). I've been using two guides(it wouldn't let me link them) to get this done, but one talks about TWRP and I just don't know which to follow. If anyone willing to help has Steam or some easy way of communication that would be ideal.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomandaris:
I've seen that but it came out very shortly after the Fire was released and doesn't use KFU. I was looking for a more recent one.

edit: I followed one and pressed 2, Install Permanent Root with Superuser, and the Fire reset a few times, in the end saying the root was successful. Now I'm trying to get Voodoo to be able to unroot quickly. Wasn't the root supposed to make the Google Apps available? Did I miss a step? My Fire looks like nothing changed.

I'm following a guide from Reddit that has worked for anyone who's used it and it says you can drag and drop the zip file for gedeROM into the Fire's drive and then do a quick and easy install. How can I do that with CM10? There are so many links on the front page of the post. Do I download "20121022-1438-Linaro"?

edit: also, do I lose all my stuff going from stock to a rom? I installed the latest TWRP recovery and such.

Looking in my Fire's folder, the TWRP folder is empty. Is it supposed to be?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnyangrykid:
In KFU, install the recovery or TWRP as they call it, download a Jelly bean rom and Gapps from here on XDA, (both rom and gapps will be in a zip format) place both rom and gapps on ur KF and then boot to recovery.

Wipe:

-System

-Factory reset

-Cache

-Dalvik cache

Install:

-Rom

-Gapps

and then just for precautionary measures, its best to wipe only Cache and Dalvik again. then reboot. Be patient as the first boot up will take a while. (that is normal)

Heres a jelly bean rom you can try for the KF http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1765288

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnyangrykid:
yes you would start fresh with each new rom install. unless you backed up your apps with app2zip or Titanium Backup.

also the TWRP folder is fine. unless you backed up the whole rom from the TWRP GUI, then you would see some files. which is normal though.

How do you flash the CWM Touch Recovery on a Stock Rooted SIII? It came in an .img file and im just totally lost on how to install it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
you either need to fast boot install it, or use the Root Toolkit (which needs a tar file).

or you can buy it as an in-app purchase via ROM Manager.

i personally went with the Root Toolkit approach.

[HTC One V] theworstlesbian:
Hi, I recently flashed the 10.17.2012 version of AOKP for PrimoC to my One V. I was previously using the 09.09.2012 build of CM10. Everything works nicely, but the phone won't recognize the SD Card. When I put it in or when the phone boots, it says "Preparing SD Card..." and then it says "SD Card safe to remove" and no apps that use the SD card (camera, gallery, dropbox) work at all. When I go to Settings>Storage, Settings just crashes.

I'm not sure if the issue is in the ROM itself or in the way I flashed it.

I did this:

Flashed Jellyboot5.zip in recovery

Flashed ROM and Gapp .zips in recovery

Wiped Cache/Dalvik

Booted into AOKP.

Did I do something wrong? Is the ROM broken? Is it possible for me to reflash the ROM I had previously without breaking anything?

I would recommend the 10-20 build and doing a full wipe. That's the build I'm running right now and I have no issues with it at all (aside from the known camcorder bug).

2. I flashed the recovery (with fastboot) which was explained in this threat:

With the new method of using the internal SD as the phone data storage this is entirely possible. If there are files/databases for apps stored on the SD that is incompatible with the apps in questions problems can arise. I would suggest you make a full copy of your internal SD to a safe location and format, then after the ROM install if you find you are missing app data for something that cant be easily rebuilt you can copy that app's data back specifically to avoid resurrecting the problem.
