[Q] Going crazy...unable to reboot - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Regardless of which rom I flash, once I reboot my phone, whether it be a normal reboot or to do a nandroid in recovery etc, my phone freezes on the start up during the boot animation.
This forces me to wipe the data/factory reset and install the rom again just to get my phone up and running again.
Even after I wipe everything and freshly install a rom, I'll get occasional force close bombardment. I'll just have to keep starting over until I am able to boot the phone correctly. Again, even if I can get it to start correctly, I can only use the phone as long as I DO NOT reboot for any reason. Otherwise I start the whole vicious cycle over again. Messed up..I know...
I properly install the roms, formatting cache and Dalvik when appropriate. I have also already done the method to fix force closes posted by seanzcreams. I even formatted my external sd and internal sd and started over. I still get a freeze on start up after my frist successful boot of any rom.
I am SOOO tired of getting my phone the way I like it and have to start over when I am no longer able to reboot
If there is anyone who could help me before I pull all my hair out and kill myself, you'd be my best friend. Thanks ahead

Try flashing stock recovery with Odin and wipe data/factory reset. If that doesn't work maybe try flashing back to full stock, reroot and try again

Remove the SD Card from phone and then boot to see if you still see FCs.

Mine has done this twice since I have gotten my phone. The way was able to get it back working is by doing a hard reset (holding the power and lower volume button until the android Guy is showing ) this gets it back to working for me hope it helps
I will try but i think that gets me into my clockwork mod recovery. thanks

i did that to still no luck but when i did get into to wipe dalvik cache it says this E: unkown volume for path [/sd-ext] just before i press the yes to accept if that means anything. I never seen that b 4
I would remove external sd card and then reflash the stock ROM again making sure you clear all caches and see what happens...really not sure what else to do if you're stuck in boot loop

Rebooting problem while in recovery

So i started by downloading the new gingeritis 3d beta 5. I rebooted into recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. installed the rom just fine. I rebooted the phone and it just kept showing the splash screen and going black then splash again. I did a battery pull and went to bootloader then to recovery. When i try to install a different rom or do a restore the phone reboots right in the middle of the install/restore.
What do you think the problem is. Can i flash a different rom from the bootloader? is the recovery bad?
Or as a last resort do I have to flash the "Custom upgrade PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip" from the "root your thunderbolt" thread in the bootloader?
Thanks

Try going back into recovery and wipe the three you've stated again, also "format /system" in mounts and storage. It could be something's not getting wiped properly and creating your problem. Then try installing a ROM. If that doesn't fix your problem then replace your recovery with the one I've attached. Copy it to the root of your SD card and install it from the bootloader. If your recovery is the problem that should fix it. Once you've done that try installing a standard ROM like one of the rooted OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161251
Thanks for the help and the attachment. I will try it whe n i Get home since im at work. Whenever i try to wipe anything its like im on a time limit where it will restart ofter like 30 seconds no matter what i do.

I just remembered that another person had the same problem as you and it turned out that the Micro SD card was the problem. It makes sense since your installing the ROM from the Micro SD card and then the card craps out causing the reboot. If you don't have another Micro SD card you could format the one you have and that might fix it. Of course you would lose any data on the card.
I tried the new recovery, a new sd card, still same problem. Is there something i can flash in bootloader? like the PG05IMG_MR1_Upgrade? or something else?

You could download an RUU http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/R..._NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip and rename it to PG05IMG.zip. That will do a factory restore from the bootloader. You would then need to root the phone again. It's possible the memory on your phone is damaged creating the reboots, Lets hope that's not the case.
Thanks! at least that worked.

Awesome, glad you're up and running again. Remember to delete or rename the PG05IMG.zip on your SD card or next time you go into your bootloader it will try to install the restore RUU again. I've done that before.

MikRom Bootlooping on evo shift - HELP!!

This just started yesterday and i cant stop it. My phone reboots and says that memory is nearly full, then goes into a bootloop. I cant stop it long enough to back up texts, phone contacts and call log which is REALLY important; is there a way to back that up through recovery?
i'm really desperate here!
Edit: I can get the phone working through a format, but i need to be able to get contacts and sms backed up
Alternitavely, is there a way to run a clockword mod backup on an android emulator on my comp, so i can back up my important stuff?
what you should try doing is putting your sd card directly into your computer and delete stuff you don't need to get back so memory and then once you do that out it back into your phone
i cleared up the memory, internal and external. the stupid ROM is still broken
if its just the rom go to a different one and redownload mikrom later to make sure nothing happened in the initial download
If you haven't already, try removing some apps through adb, then reflash the ROM only wiping dalvik and cache. You shouldn't lose any of your text, call logs or contacts if you don't wipe data.

I love it sooooo the rom isnt stupid, the team of developers supporting it are amazing and you should setup adb and get a logcat, also you should nandroid before you flash so in case it goes wrong you can flash back, like insurance but you actually get something from this without paying..
if you did nandroid boot into bootloader and select recovery (hold volume down and power on use volume button to highlight recovery and power button to select)
I'm not sure if mikrom wipes or not but there's always that advanced restore option in cwm recovery flash rom, restore data and sd-ext if you have a ext partition with important data on it.

Did you ever get this fixed?
The usual way of fixing this is formatting /system, wiping dalvik, wiping cache, and reflashing the rom.

no. what i did was a backup, complete factory reset, wipe, dalvik wipe, etc - several times each, including a full on sd-card format, which took me hours to reload everything back on - and then reflashed MikShift. It worked fine for about a day, but then it started to go into bootloops again, so i again did a backup, full reset and all wipes, and restored data only to the new flash of mikshift. Once again its bootlooping.
LOG: ive been off the forums for several months, how do i get this log?
IMAGE: When i go into bootloader and enter recovery, it shows me a message in green text
"PG06diag.zip
No image!
PG06diag.nbh
No image or wrong image!
PG06img.zip
No image!
PG06img.nbh

At this point, im ready to RUU back to factory unrooted, so i can take it back to sprint and get it replaced.
I should not need to reflash the ROM every single day.

OK
0) Run a backup with titanium backup.
1) First of all go to clockwork -> mounts storage -> FORMAT /SYSTEM.
2) Wipe /cache, wipe dalvik, wipe/data, factory reset, repartition sd card.
3) Redownload the rom or try a proven ROM like UKE or CM7-255. If AOSP MAKE SURE TO FLASH GAPPS.
NO NEED TO RUU.
4) DO NOT RESTORE YOUR BACK UP. See how stable the phone runs.
5) If the phone is still unstable try a different battery.
6) Do not flash a custom kernel.
i formatted my backup SD card, and copied the essential data to it, and i have it running in the phone now. it seems to be running fine so far, i suspect the other SD may have gotten corrupt or physically damaged
Vic: every single time this has happened, i first went to clear the data and dalvik caches and ran a factory reset, all through the CWM recovery interface. Then when i reinstall mikshift, i restore the data using advanced restore, wait 24-48 hours, bootloops start all over again.
after two days of running on the new sd card, i start getting bootloops again. it must be a problem with the phone or the OS, but at this point i dont care anymore.
Is there a guide to RUU back to stock unroot? this phone is going back to sprint by weeks end, period.
thanks for the help folks.

Here's the 2.2 RUU zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971550 Just put it on the root of sd, boot in hboot and let it do its thing.

Yeah that guide is great for flashing sense roms since "most" sense roms don't format/wipe the system partition correctly. Aosp roms you just do a data facotry wipe and everything installs just fine

[Q] Phone Beyond Repair? Please HELP!

Hi All,
I think my phone may be done for, but I wanted to ask all of you first. It all started when I booted up my phone, and it went into Stock GB and before I could do anything at all, everything started force closing (i.e. twlauncher, clock, 10 other things etc.) basically the entire OS and the phone would reboot and then again same problem. Sometimes it would get stuck on the ATT "Rethink Possible" screen for a while, and then immediately it would get to the Your phone is locked screen, and everything would be force closing again. I booted up into recovery mode and wiped user data and cache. Nothing. So then I decided to re load the firmware using jscott's completely stock rom. I used ODIN with PIT, PDA, and Phone and let it do its thing. PASS. Once again, phone did the SAME thing over and over. I then thought let me try either a custom ROM or rooted stock GB. I used jscott's "I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex.rar" and used ODIN. PASS. Cleared user data, cache, dalvik. Tried to boot. Still SAME problem. Then I thought maybe I could load ICS Custom ROM and fix the issue (a stretch I know, but no idea what else to do). So, I used ADB to push "Infinitum" ICS ROM to the /sdcard Booted to CWM Recovery and installed the zip. The phone rebooted with the blue android logo and then once again, got to the welcome screen and everything started force closing and the phone rebooted.
Am I just out of luck? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest formatting EVERYTHING except the boot partition on the phone and try again to stock. Something is screwed up and is causing the force closes. If you do that and it STILL does this, then there is a hardware failure that is most likely causing the issue.

Yes, I can get into recovery or download mode.
When I ODIN or Heimdall into the stock, I have 3e recovery. If / When I add CWM entropy kernel then I have CWM red recovery mode.
I have tried wipe user data, cache, dalvik cache, etc. to no avail.

There should be a mounts and storage menu where you can format stuff. Format EVERYTHING except the BOOT partition. IF you format boot you are screwed! Also if you have IMPORTANT info on the external or internal SD card back that up first!!!!!

Oh yes, I have done that several times already. I have mounted everything and then proceeded to format them all. It does keep telling me that sd-ext is not found... (not sure if that is normal)

CWM Install ROM Infinity ICS - Successful Install - same problem exists
CWM Install ROM SlimBean (Jelly Bean) - Successful Install - same problem exits
Problem occurs no matter how many data/factory reset wipes I do. As soon as OS boots, everything immediately starts force closing (I can see the welcome screen, but can't get to it with all the force closes on top).
Example of some of the force closes: "android.process.acore has stopped" & "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", etc.
Ran EMMC Brick Find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918 and it went through each MB up to 16 GB and said OK.
I think that covers it all.

I'm guessing you did let it do the bootloaders on the flash? Other than that it sounds like a serious hardware issue like a failing processor.

Here are the steps I would try to bring the phone back to a working stock GB. I can only offer a Heimdall approach.
1. Take out your microSD card.
2. Boot into DL mode.
3. Flash this in heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23118162&postcount=3
4. Boot into recovery.
5. In cwm: factory reset. Wipe cache. Advance: wipe dalvik. In Mount: format -system, data, cache, SDCard.
6. Power off.
7: Heimdall UCLB3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081. Read the op. Flash it once to complete. If successful, on the PC screen, click the boot loader flash and wait for the phone to complete booting up. After the phone finishes, go to /Settings/Privacy: factory reset and wipe SDCard again. Put it back into DL mode
8. Flash the UCLB3 Heimdall again, with the BootLoader box checked.
9. Once complete, let the phone boot up and run it as stock without the microSD card.
It should run as stock uclb3 - factory new. Go through the set up - do not accept GOGGLE BACKUP for now.
If the phone process continues to crash, you are sol.

ps..you can always sell the screen..it's worth at least $75-to another user with a broken screen.

Thanks. I did try exactly as you stated. No go. Still crashing.
I wonder what hardware failure it would be?

Not sure if this will help figure out anything, but if someone is really good at looking at a logcat file, I am attaching one that I obtained from ADB from when the phone started to boot at the ATT Rethink Possibilities Screen all the way through the constant unending force closes of everything as soon as the OS loads.
Thanks again for anyone willing to look this over.

Just a guess and I may be wrong but I looked briefly through the beginning of your logcat. The stock gb kernel should not be looking for /etc/init.d and there were some items listed for voodoo and lagfix and some mentioning of entropy. Is your OS messing up when you are trying to run Entropy's DD kernel?
If you are running a diagnostic with complete stock to make sure the phone and firmware is using complete stock and rfs file system, these items should not be a part of your logcat...
The only suggestion I have is wipe the sdcard and voodoo folder and try a complete re-partition and boot loader flash.

Just a guess and I may be wrong but I looked briefly through the beginning of your logcat. The stock gb kernel should not be looking for /etc/init.d and there were some items listed for voodoo and lagfix and some mentioning of entropy. Is your OS messing up when you are trying to run Entropy's DD kernel?
If you are running a diagnostic with complete stock to make sure the phone and firmware is using complete stock and rfs file system, these items should not be a part of your logcat...
The only suggestion I have is wipe the sdcard and voodoo folder and try a complete re-partition and boot loader flash.

This actually isn't with stock. This is with the Entropy DD kernel. I followed your earlier thread to go back to complete stock and same error. I needed CWM to do other things, so I installed the Entropy DD, but same errors. I just happened to dump the logcat during that run.
As far as your suggestion, I believe that is what was already happening with your earlier post? As for RFS file system, does your Heimdal One Click do that already? If not, what do I need to do to create that specific FS? I think it might actually be Fat32 and EXT4? Thanks!

Heya,
Did you ever have any luck with this issue? I've a phone with similar issues.
Odin to stock - force closes and/or boot loops
Heimdall to stock - force closes and/or boot loops
Install various roms through CWM - force closes and/or boot loops
(I followed all directions to the letter, multiple times)
the last attempt lead me through a series of odins/heimdalls/roms ... basically following a path to install the latest CM10, during which sometimes a rom would seem to be stable before I moved on to the next and other roms would bootloop / fc right off the bat ..
once on CM10, though, it was stable... I was able to install apps from the market, play with settings, etc .... I did experience a 2 or 3 random reboots though in the process and ultimately, when I put my sim card and sdcard in, it was stuck in a boot loop
It doesn't appear that I'm experiencing a power button failure like other people are having ... only reason I mentioned it is because of the random reboots

You Should flash the stock firmware through Odin . Your data will not be erased .
Don't forget to press the thanks button :good::good::good:
Really! Flash to stock just for a bootloop. Unnecessary I think. I would just go to recovery and wipe system, cache, and dalvik and reflash the ROM. If that doesn't fix, then do the same but wipe data as well. You'll have to reinstall apps of course with that last one. Also, If you have an external sd card and a card reader, you could download a different ROM to the card and flash that one in recovery.
Lol

Flashing to stock always fix bugs that wiping can't solve
Because flashing to stock will restores the original firmware :good:
