Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (vf-895n)

Originally the phone was taking around 4-5 minutes to boot, so I decided to take the easy approach and do a fac reset. I was running a Cyanogen 11 Nightly build at the time, and I somehow managed to delete the OS. At this point I had USB debugging disabled so there was no way (In my knowledge) to flash a new ROM. I stupidely messed round with some settings in TWRP, rebooting, and now I cant enter recovery or anything, just boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
If you were rooted and did the factory reset from system settings, it wipes the whole phone because a rooted phone has access to everything and factory reset from settings wipes everything that is accessible, factory reset from settings on a non rooted device can only wipe user partition, this is not the case on a rooted device, never use the factory reset from settings, only from recovery. If you used recovery and accidentally wiped the OS then its because you used the advanced wipes and not the factory reset option.

You probably wiped out your recovery, try flashing recovery again and then see if it will boot to recovery. If it does boot to recovery try flashing a ROM or restore a backup.

As I said, USB debugging is disabled, so I have no way of flashing anything...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
There is always a way, it's not over until the device is hard bricked to the point that it won't charge or power on. You said your device still boots, you just need to do some research to figure it out.

There are methods to boot your OS from ext sdcard. There are methods that involve using adb to push .imgs to the device.

I'm not familiar with your exact model or what specific files you need but your device is recoverable even if it comes down sending it in for JTAG service.

Just get busy looking, you can't just search for things for your specific device, research methods for restoring devices from the state you're in, when you find a method you'll have to find the software and the files your device requires to use the method.

Question re: boot-looped Galaxy S3 and retaining data

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide clear answers to my questions. XDA is an amazing resource, with amazing contributors.

I have a Galaxy S3 (Verizon version), rooted and with CWM recovery. I have had it for 3 years, rooted the entire time. It is running stock ROM, with me having successfully avoided installation of the final OS update pushed from Verizon, for quite some time. The device has been overdue for a factory reset for some time, so it is no surprise to me that something seems to have come up corrupted, but here is the current situation:

I put the phone on the charger one night a couple weeks ago when I went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning the phone was locked in a boot loop, and has been stuck there ever since. It does boot in to CWM recovery and also download mode with no trouble. I am trying to avoid doing a factory reset until after I have been able to retrieve some data I want from the internal memory. I have current Titanium backups of all my apps and app data - I just need some other files off the device if at all possible before wiping it and starting fresh. After enough digging on XDA and the web in general to make my head hurt, it seems my best option will be to try flashing system level files via Odin and see if that will let the device boot long enough for me to snag the files I want.

My questions:

1) Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely, or is this a viable possibility?

2) If this is the right direction to go, what, specifically, should I try flashing and in what order, to try to achieve a device boot without (hopefully) losing user files? Should I just reflash the stock ROM, or just the PIT file, or...?

3) Is it possible to pull user files via ADB? (I know this isn't a bot loop question, per se, but it just occurred to me while typing this.)

When starting in CWM recovery the display shows the following:

ClockworkMod Recovery v6. 0. 2. 3

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't open cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open cache/recovery/last_log

I have tried wiping the Dalvik cache and the cache partition via CWM recovery, with (predictably) no different in results, just FYI.

Thank you so much for any knowledgeable input.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
One or more of your apps may have auto updated while you were asleep, you can try booting onto safe mode so that it loads only your system apps, if it boots, go to system settings>applications then look at each app info and uninstall updates from any off the apps that you think may have caused the issue. You'll have to experiment uninstalling an app update or even uninstall the app completely(if it's an app that you installed yourself), then after uninstalling, reboot and see if it boots normally, if not, boot to safe mode again and try uninstalling another app update or app, reboot, repeat this process. If this doesn't work then try flashing the exact same stock firmware version/build number with Odin. If you were on that same stock build before the bootloop then it shouldn't erase your data.

If you're rooted with a custom ROM then try flashing the exact same ROM and the exact same Gapps without factory resetting, only wipe cache and dalvik before/after flashing. This should restore you to what you had before you went to sleep.

Or you can restore a nandroid backup if you have one.

Yes, you should be able to pull the files you want via adb, as long as you know or can find the correct path to where the files are stored on the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SecurityGuy67:
OK, I familiarized myself with the SDK Platform Tools and ADB enough to be able to connect to a device and read a device list. This was no problem with a working phone, but the S3 I am trying to recover data from is not even recognized by Windows when I attach it via USB (while powered up in the recovery screen). Obviously, then, I am getting no response to ADB commands. (I used the same USB cable with both phones.) The device in question is running CWM, so it should automatically, by default, be activating USB debugging whenever I power up in to recovery, correct?

Re: apps updating... It is unlikely an app auto-updated and is causing the problem. I am rabid about killing auto-updates in the Play store, and everywhere else I encounter the possibility an app might try to do so. I think it is more likely I screwed up somehow and allowed the final Verizon-pushed OS version to update. Knowing my routine for staving that off, I am baffled at how that might have happened... maybe that's not the cause. But I am now left not knowing for certain whether the stock ROM version was updated, so I don't know which version to try reflashing even if I could get a USB connection. Also, the device will not boot in to Safe Mode, either. It actually never even gets as far as the animated Samsung logo before rebooting, so no chance to intercept and get in to Safe Mode. I do not have a nandroid backup.

Any further suggestions to try for retrieving my data?

Lenovo A5000 Bootloop flash accident

I have this lenovo a5000.. actually before everything was screwed up, i first tried to flash a recovery.img to my phone. but i accidentally typed "Fastboot Flash Boot Recovery.img" instead of "Fastboot Flash recovery Recovery.img". after that, i thought everything was okay but when the phone restarted, im stuck in a bootloop where the manufacturer logo shows but it keeps on restarting all over and over again. i supposed to go to recovery mode or fastboot mode but the problem with that is whenever i press the down volume and the power volume. it takes me to a screen where i see three choices of boot options (vol.up for select, Vol. down for execute/confirm) but when i select and confirm a boot option it wouldnt take me there. its like my down volume key is broken but its not.. the down volume key is not functioning. (its kinda similar at this sample i gave)

sample:

Fastboot mode

Recovery Mode <===

Normal Mode

Can anyone please help me, i cant access the fastboot mode nor the recovery mode. Your help will really be appreciated :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
You flashed recovery on your boot partition, it's not gonna boot like it's supposed to now.

You need to find a copy of your boot.img and fastboot flash it to your boot partition with the sane command you used, just make sure to use your boot.img instead of recovery.img this time, then when boot is fixed, fastboot flash TWRP.

Or, you might be able to go ahead and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"(the recovery file has to be renamed to "recovery.img" or the command won't work). Then after flashing TWRP try flashing a ROM for your model.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyjinEX:
well thats the problem for now, i cannot access my fastboot mode nor the recovery mode because it shows 3 options menu, and i cannot access them, its like my vol down button is broken when i press it to select a boot mode. are there any other solutions sir? :)

Bootloop resolved - flashed using native xperia flasher

Edit : I got EMMA resolved the issue;flashed with a stock ROM and my device is back on 4.4.2.

I still need to clarify few things as I'm still confused.

During flash, it shows the following info.

Model - SGP321

IMEI -

Application software - 10.1.1.A.1.253

File system - global-lte 10.5.A.0.230 (which is 4.4.2)

SIM - unlocked

Boot-

DRM-

Activated-yes

But it downloaded and flashed 10.4.b.0.569 which is JB 4.3 (showed in the progress bar while downloading and flashing). It took nearly 1 hour to download the ROM (1 gb nearly) from Sony and flash it. Then I had 4.4.2. What exactly the tool has done here ? I guess its not the one I had as I had to OTA the default 4.4.2 apps kit and configure all the settings from scratch as soon as the device got booted up. Means flasher has actually flashed an 4.4.2 clean image. Or it had flashed 4.3 first then had 4.4 upgraded in one go. Can an expert kindly explain ?

If anyone needs help on EMMA, please post.

Many thanks XDA.

How do I resolve this weird boot loop like no other?

Hey thanks for this guide and all who have added their learning, up at the how to guide you said: "ADB can be used to access the phone while booting, be aware that some boot loops make it unable to use ADB since they do not go further then the manufacturer logo. (In new CWM versions it’s possible to use adb)"

OK so how in detail do I load CWM into my phone with only the external SD card, and only access to stock recovery and no way yet to connect drivers, as the boot loop always denies the phone. This info was not in CWM site. All fixes assume drivers are functional!

I have a back up of someone else's exact make and model, but it is just a file in my downloaded windows at present. How do I get that installed flashed or working without drivers?

My boot loop gets to logo screen then reboots, drivers cannot 'handshake' the phone and therefore almost nothing can be done.

I have Android KK 4.4.2. on a TCL T720S china phone, i have spent week on china-devices.com trying sp flash tools, scripts, drivers, usb fixes, mtk droid tools and even pored over the Chinese TCL site, and all over the web, there is not much out there, I know exactly two other English speaking TCL T720S users in the world! neither of them can help me much.

BOOTLOOP for ET-7008b tablet

We've had the tablet for more than a year now. It's one of those cheap China or Taiwan (I really don't know) tabs for my kid. Knowing how much my kid downloads and installs stuff, I got him a 32GB extSD. About a month ago, he kept on complaining that it ran too slow and always said that it lacked memory. Off-the-bat, I immediately thought that it was because of the fact that it was made in China (or wherever, being non-branded, I assumed that...) [stereotype aside, most are 'beta' devices]. Anyway, I never rooted it. Using the native app (under SETTINGS), I tried to move/link the downloaded apps to the SD. Upon rebooting, VIOLA - bootloop!

After all my Google-ing attempts, I'm left with the flashing option which would still entail a lot work AFTER the flash itself.

Basically, I really think that doing a factory reset will do the trick. The problem is, I can't get into the recovery mode on the device - to be more specific, the recovery menu itself.

Even before the problem started, the ONLY key-combo that works will take me to a screen that has an android robot lying down, chest open with an exclamation inside a red triangle on top of it. I assumed that this is the download mode because when it was still working fine, there was an option in setting that would allow you to reboot to recovery - which was basically the same screen but had the recovery options.

I'm still a noob when it comes to ADB but I'm hoping that it be fixed this way.

ADB can only see it when it's on the 'download' mode, however, it lists it in recovery when you use DEVICES. ADB REBOOT (bootloader or recovery) simply reboots it to the bootloop. PC will then see it as an unmounted mass storage device. When I try ADB SHELL it gives me this error:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory <2> -

You can try connecting a USB mouse to your device to make selections, most android devices natively support USB mouse and keyboard.

You will probably need to use an OTG cable or adaper before the phone will "see" the mouse.

Also, older more basc mouses will have better odds. More expensive mouses, are usually HID devices, and work in a different way. I find that basic units not for gaming work the best.
