Hey Guys,
i need your help once again.
So my Desire S showed a lot of errors in the last time. E.g. turned off, couldn't connect to mobile internet. So i decided to factory reset. The phone is rooted and s-off.
I booted into the recovery mode and selected
Wipe Cache
Wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
removed the sd Card
and at last
wipe data/factory reset.
After that i reboot and now the phone stops at bootscreen. I can go into the revolution recovery console again. But don't know what do now..
Would be great, if anyone could help me out.

hey. Your post made me smile. since you have done a full wipe, your phone is nearly empty. there is nothing to boot anymore. You need to install a new ROM.
(do I really need to explain how 2 do?)
Always make sure you know what you're doing, you did wipe your phone without knowing the results

Okay, so when I attempt to flash the CM9 nightly (7.2.12 edition) and the Google Apps ICS from CyanogenMod's wiki page I get a soft brick in reboot loop. What happens is three things (it's happened differently each time): First, I get the white SAMSUNG logo. After that, I get an extra-long black screen before a bootscreen. The first time it was an ANDROID logo with moving reflections. The second time it was the CM9 bootscreen. The third time it was simply a white screen. All three times, shortly after the bootscreen began, the phone froze at one frame early into the animation and rebooted. The same thing continually happened. To flash the ROM, I have the newest CWM Recovery for the T-Mobile Galaxy S II installed. From there, I did this (in this order): wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik Cache, and then Wipe Battery Stats. From there, I flashed the ROM from the internal SD card and then Google Apps for ICS from the internal SD card. After going to reboot from CWM Recovery, I always got that soft brick (three times now). After each soft brick, I have used CWM Recovery to recover a previous instance on the stock ROM.
Any help will be rewarded with imaginary thanks.

I am new to android and yesterday I accidentally clicked the red download button when I held the power button down. Then a black screen with yellow text came up and said "don't power off the target!!" I left the phone on for about 30 minutes, but the battery died. Now when I power up the device I get the message com.android.phone has stopped working. I also tried a factory reset but it didn't fix anything. The device is rooted, I checked using the root checker app (i bought the phone from someone). How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes or so. Do you know what ROM you are running? Only other thing I can think to try is trying to boot into CWM and wiping cache and dalvik. The usually fixes a lot of my issues.

After wiping Dalvik/cache, go into Advanced, and select Fix Permissions, just to cover all of the simple bases. If none of that works, you may have to Heimdall/Odin back to stock and start all over again.
I got into CWM, but there is no option for advanced. There are 4 options: reboot system now, apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. There are no other options. Maybe I have an older version of CWM, on the top it says Android system recovery <3e>
Is the wipe cache partition what i have to click to wipe cache. Thanks for the help.

Yes...wipe cache partition to wipe cache.
And it does appear like you have the old 3e Modded Recovery. I forget the version numbers but the CWM recoveries: commonly referred to as green, red and blue, will give you other options including Advanced as mentioned above

If you plan on doing any serious flashing, I'd think you'd want to upgrade to Red CWM. Here's a thread that tells you how.
I'd recommend Method 1:

i have rooted my phone with gingerbreak and wanted to install gingersnap rom. i followed this methood http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991 and my phone is stuck in fastboot now.... i am able to press home+voldown+power button to go into clockwork recovery i think thats what its called and pretty much nothing else please help im new to this stuff
Go into the recovery, then use the volume keys to navigate around and either the search button or the menu button will select things depending on the version you're using. Once you're there, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot it. The boot will take a long time, if after five minutes it's still trying to boot, then go back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then install a rom like gingersnap. If after another five minutes that isn't working, boot into recovery again do a factory reset (this will wipe all of your apps, contacts, calendar entries etc), wipe system, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (do not wipe sd card or external storage) then install a rom like gingersnap and see if it boots up.
thanks for trying to help but none of that helped i dont really know how to install/flash a rom but i looked around a bit and found that i made a backup before i tryed to flash it so thanks
Watch the videos about installation of custom rom for Android (LG P500) !!

Uh, hello people,
First of all I want to clear out that I am not very knowlegable when it comes to the wonderful world of Android and stuff with all its details, but then again that is why I came here because other people seem to have found a solution to their problems here.
I don't think I found a topic that already covered my issue, so here I go:
Basically, all of a sudden my phone began to restart itself over and over again. I do not remember doing anything in particular prior to that happening, be it downloading anything or pretty much doing anything at all... After it restarts, I am able to enter my PIN code, unlock my phone, get to the homepage (where the apps and widgets suddenly disappear...) and around 15 seconds after the phone had restarted, no matter what I do to the phone it just goes off to reboot itself again. Even if I wait and not enter my PIN code it would still restart after those 15ish seconds...
I am running on Android 4.3 with CyanogenMod 10.2 (as far as I remember), which was already there when I got my phone.
Sоо, some help would be greatly appretiated

M.T. please tell me whether this did work for you. I flashed CM10.2 on the i9003 for my colleague and he just experiences the same things.

wipe all and flash the rom again

No matter what rom i'm running I get random reboots. I even took the update from Verizon to 4.4.3 and still recived random reboots. Is this just me? I have also ran safe mode and get them.
Have you tried a factory reset?. If not try that. Don't do it from security settings though. Do it through fasboot. Just be sire to save anything you don't want to lose.
Yes and have tried multiple roms. IT does it not matter what rom or what settings I have.
Sounds like a complete wipe via fastboot may be your only fix. Just be sure to back up all the stuff youbwanna save cause it gonna wipe it clean. I am stock and was having same issue did the reset and everything fine now. I however forgot to make a back up lol
How do I do that? I tried the factory reset option and it took me back to TWRP
Make sure quick boot is turned off in battery settings. Then power down device. Power back on holding down volume and power. Your phone will boot to a white screen. Then use volume down to cycle to factory reset. Only thing is I'm not entirely sure what it will do to s-off and unlocked bootloader. You may want to Google that and see what it says
I've had my m8 for several weeks and never had a random reboot, that's on both stock and custom Rom. If the factory reset doesn't fix it, you may have a hardware issue
Factory reset doesn't work on a custom recovery

Better: You should not try a factory reset from settings if you have a custom recovery installed. It can lead to unintended consequences......
And why would you? That's what a recovery is for! TWRP and CWM both have the factory reset option, which basically just wipes /data (without /data/media), cache and Dalvik. And that's what you need 95% of the time. For the rest format data.
A factory reset doesnt clear everything. I have done a few and nothing ever seems to be reset. When I did it from hboot I was required to set up phone again as if it had just been powered on for the first time.

For the record,twrp wipe was what I was referring to when I said factory reset. I thought about saying wipe, but was afraid of how that might be interpreted.

A factory reset in TWRP (at least on every version I've used) wipes /data without wiping /data/media, cache and Dalvik.
Meaning it wipes all your apps and settings without wiping your personal files, but rquiring ou to go through setup again. Just did exactly that before installing CleanROM 2.0. If you had a different result I don't know which option in TWRP you chose.....
