Hello everyone Ill try to explain as best as I can.
The Problem:
recently my nexus s 2.3.4 stopped loading every time I reset it, at first I didn't put any thought for it just plugged my battery out and in again until it got on.
than it got more frequently and I had tried to a couple of roms thinking it that can do the trick, but it didn't
What I tried to do
I followed a guide of restore to "Stock-GRH78-Nandroid"
yet the problem stand still, the only thing I just figured recently is that my phone never did actually made a correct "wipe data/factory reset" (more details at the attachment), and that runing that function is necessary for fresh restore.
the only posts that I found for that kind of problems (factory wipe) was for different types of phone and the solution were using the "Odin" however as my understanding Odin doesn't work with nexus s.
I did my best trying to google a solution and search the forums with no success.
Im adding a picture of the errors while trying to run factory reset.
any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi. I have a huge problem and I am so stressed because some of the people in these forums are awfully mean and I am already having a bad enough time, Plus I have been searching for 3 days and found no working solution. I love my phone and I fear I may just have to give up all hope, but I am just not quite ready to let go....
Seriously tho, I rooted my Optimus S and I had a hell of a time getting a recovery to work finally thunderc did the trick. then I added thundeRom, and I had it about to weeks when I came across this cool ROM called cyanogen nightly so I just had to have it. Well then my phone wouldn't flash into recovery. I tried installing many recoveries none would work.
After so many failed attempts I kept getting permission denied. I remembered that before I rooted I had the same problem and after I did a factory reset and wiped my phone clean it worked, So I did that again and I pretty sure it bricked, only I have not found any other post where the symptoms were just like mine. My phone will only blink LG nothing else.
I did back up with titanium before this and I had a nandroid backup also. Is there any hope? Does anyone know what may have happened with my recovery before this happened? It was working fine. I have not been this long without a phone in at least 10 years. Please help I would greatly appreciate it. thanks.
yes there is, if you could go into clockwork recovery (reflash it without fully turning on the phone, there probably is a way, google it )
then you could reinstall your previous backup and it would work as new.

i've looked in the search and havent found anything.
so sorry if this has been answered dozens of times already.
Im on Samsung Galaxy s2 running Villainrom's 2.3.4 rom.
phone is rooted.
i installed villaintweaks and circlesmodgreen by hooolm. however i cant stand the look of it and wish to remove it.
how is this done?
thanks in advance
You can just install stock ROM or another ROM over it.
No wipe nor factory reset needed before flashing the new one?
That basically depends on the ROM. It is not always needed, but if you encounter any problems, such as the device is not booting up to the new ROM or you are encountering a lot of Force Closes, then you will need to do a full wipe.
The ROM should usually say it in the installation instructions if you need a wipe, however doing the wipe and starting from a clean table is the safest option.
Thanks for the short explanation.
Hey, I'm pretty new to this site and to Android in general. So bear with me =/
To sum up my 2 problems:
The phone does a hard reset every time you reboot from recovery (or try backing up via ccw)
The 2 mods i have been able to find for the e720 have errors when I try to install
Some background info:
I was wondering if anyone has a solution for my woes. My dad's lg chic recently came off the warranty so I decided to root the phone via z4root. Everything was successful and super user was installed.
However, the problem came when i tried to backup my stock rom or access the recovery on the lg. Every time I reboot the phone, it does a hard reset. This also happens when I try to backup the current rom via ccw.
When I access with Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 via adb using this site: http://www.androidworld.it/forum/lg-optimus-chic-88/clockworkmod-5-0-2-7-per-lg-optimus-chic-32171/
it works, however the two mods i have managed to find for the e720b have the following errors:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046135
This one says the package used is outdated and this version of CCW does not support it anymore
http://www.madteam.co/forum/development-62/%28rom%29-cyanogenmod-7-1-gingerbread-2-3-7-for-e720/
This one has an error and the operation ends.
Of course, when I reboot the phone, something happens that causes it to have a hard reset (so I basically have to insert my gmail account and reinstall and reapply z4root...superuser is still in the programs however)
After at least 2 attempts per mod, I've given up. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Another summary:
Can anyone figure out why the Lg E720 does a hard reset when I enter recover and just reboot the phone?
Is there another mod for the e720 I am unaware about?
Thanks!
quick bump
can anyone help me? Thanks!

just another quick qump
just another bump
bump, anyone help? please?
Oh I completely forgot about this, bump?
Hi guys, I'm a big noob to this, so please bear with me. I never took any sort of software development courses, and never had an android device until a friend that works for motorola gave me a xoom that he put together with different parts from different xooms.. Now with that being said, I'm not 100% sure of the model number, but I think its the MZ600 because it has wifi, says verizon on the back, and says can use CMDA 3g. He told me to say this on this forum because he doesn't know how to fix the problem,
I have an unrooted xoom without LTE thats OS has started bugging. I need to manually reinstall the software, due to the factory reset not working. I have tried doing it through settings, and also through holding the power/down button on reboot ect... My problem is the same as this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224081 "Apps were crashing, Google Play wasn't working, Browser as well, and so on.
I decided to do a hard reset, formatting cache, Dalvik Cache, Hard Reset...but nothing was cancelled. As soon as i rebooted my device, everything was back the way it was with the same issues. I noticed my tablet was costantly updating the same apps and even if I updated them the following reboot they were back re-updating themselves."
I have downloaded the Build HRI66 off the https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images website, and I have the android SDK, but I am unsure how to use it. If there's anyone willing to help me, that would be awesome. Thanks!
Hello guys,
This is my very first post in XDA, I've checked the forums for about 3 days in a row with no solution yet . As I am typing this I just finished my 3rd flash, with re partition checked and the proper pit file including the stock rom.
Let me share my story with you, I got this galaxy for a $100.00 deal and the only issue it had was a couple of restarts a day. This happened after my friend (who sold it to me) installed an app on it which I suppose was some kind of virus or recovery tool that got very deep in the phone. As the g920v comes with a locked bootloader that probably caused it. Since my friend isn't that tech savvy and the device was only showing software issues I decided to take it. It only restarts when it boots, it can stay in download mode or recovery mode for the entire day without restarting which is the reason I believe is nothing from the hardware. Prior to this I even used it for an entire day, stress tests with no restarts.
As the post states, I've tried everything guys :crying::crying: . Odin completes the flash with no errors but it keeps restarting on me, any ideas or hints? I was thinking about checking the "nand erase" option in Odin to make sure everything is gonna get installed from scratch but to be honest I'm not that techy and I don't want a brick . I've deleted cache and performed factory reset from the recovery mode with no success. Official solutions like Verizon Repair Assistant or SmartSwitch have not been useful either.
So far the only solution I see is going back to 5.0.2 which can be rooted ( but how if it restarts ) , I've heard rooting it can stabilize the OS in general but idk. Sadly I am not from the States to claim any warranty or some kind of fix which makes the situation even worse.
Please help

UPDATE
Good and bad news guys,
I decided to flash again but this time checking repartition and nand erase all, guess what! Including the latest rom which is G920VVRU4BOK7 and the pit that you will find here:
sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30173
IT WORKED. No more restarts after a 3 day battle against this phone. Now the only issue is at the setup wizard -Phone Activation- which only stays in "Activating". I'll give it another 5 minutes. If it doesn't work ill factory reset from recovery mode along with erase cache which will hopefully work.
I'll keep updating the post for future references.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE
After a 3 day battle, I have won. I just needed to do a normal restart and now is fully functional. Everyone thanks and mark this post as solved :0)
Best regards,
Mandagio.
