[Q] Having issues trying to get back to stock - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

So how do I get my phone working again? Its stuck in a bootloop after following the directions for Odin back to stock thread

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread

If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before

It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"

What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.

Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.

Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..

I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

Thank you for your quick response.I am able to get to recovery mode.and wipe data and factory reset.I got cm10 1117 nightly on my SD card and I install that and my phone is back.then I install jelly bean Google app.I will never try to go back to stock ROM again. this ROM is cm10 1117 nightly is better than stable cm10 for me.I thank all the devs who worked together to bring this your effort is much appreciated.
This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before
Give it a try...

[Q] nearly bricked AT&T Galaxy S2 i777

My S2 got into a boot loop after switching battery. Charged the stock battery and put that back.. same. Tried going in recovery using vol-up, vol-up+vol-down, vol-up+vol-down+home, none worked. But could go into download mode using vol-down.
Tried reinstalling a 9100 rooted kernel (that I originally used for rooting few months back).. but now instead of boot loop it freezes on boot logo (Galaxy SII with exclamation). And won't go in download anymore.
Made a jig and successfully went into download mode and cleared the count. Used several kernels with a hope to fix but same. And the recovery still doesn't work.
I assume clearing cache and/or data might fix, but don't know how to do that without getting into recovery.
Please help!
In download mode flash cwm using odi . Reboot into cwm holding volume up and down. Factory reset, format system under mounts and storage and reinstall a different rom
Thanks for the reply!
Can you please provide the link for the correct CWM recovery for SGH-i777 US AT&T Galaxy SII, and confirm if I need to select that as PDA in ODIN?
Thank you!
Never mind.. I got the kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309293 and got into recovery mod.
Hope I should be able to sort it out from here. If not, will have bother you again.
Thanks a lot!

Glittery/sparkly screen, bad root

I tried rooting my brothers phone but after I thought I rooted it and went into recovery the screen looked like there was a bunch of glitter on it. I first rooted it with the SGS II root which is different from the Blaze 4G root because that one has a pit and tar file whereas the SGS II just has the tar file. I wiped the phone twice then rooted it with the correct files but still get the glittery screen. Has anyone else come across this?
Why did you use the s2 root? I can't help, but I would suggest saying sorry to your brother xD unless someone more experienced can help. Do you have clockwork mod recovery on it?
Sent from my SGH-T769
As long as you didn't flash bootloaders from s2 just try and put ur phone in download mode and flash the blaze4g back to stock with Odin
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
Yeah I'll try that and no it doesn't have clock work. That's what I was trying to put on there but then I realized the files weren't for the Blaze model and when I tried to get into recovery it showed that glittery screen. I've rooted my phone and installed ROM's many times. I just overlooked this little detail with the files.

This happened last night while I was reverting back to stock from the DarkKnight rom. After returning to stock I was getting the glitter screen when trying to get into recovery and also stuck in a boot loop.
I retried numerous times to go back to stock in ODIN with zero luck, no recovery and stuck in boot loop.
What finally got me out of this loop was to root it again even though it wouldn't boot up, and then load clockwork recovery on. I was then able to get into clockwork and clear cache, dalvik and then factory data/reset. Then I did the return to stock process again in ODIN and everything went back to stock and the phone works fine but ...
I still have the glitter screen for stock recovery though, any suggestions ?

[Q] HELP!

I was flashing a friends galaxy blaze 4g back to stock. After following all the instructions the flash went through. But now I cannot go past the setup screen. I can see that some of my old apps are still there but since i get a force close at the setup I cannot go beyond that. I tried reflashing several times but the same problem. Any suggestions?

Go into recovery, if you have a custom one still, if not then flash one with Odin. Once in there, do a nandroid to back up your stuff and then wipe /data, /cache, dalvik cache, /system and do a factory reset and try again. If that doesn't work still then you may need to wipe /emmc also. Google for the stock ICS firmware and instructions.

Can't even get into recovery mode or download mode
Hi guys, I had a custom rom installed on the Galaxy S Blaze by TM for months. I tried to revert it back to stock rom. I failed to get into download mode for over an hour using the Vol Up/Down/Power key combination after removing the battery. I tried every possible combination including when to let power key go, other keys go, battery in, out, etc. Anyway, I finally was able to enter into ODIN mode thru ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD after turning on the debugging with previous rom. Then I installed the stock rom downloaded from perhaps a wrong place. Everything installed correctly, ODIN passed, and I smiled like a winner.
However, I can't get past the setup due to the error, "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Click ok, and I get the new error, "The application Google Services Framework.... stopped". Then, "the application Calendar storage... stopped". Then, the process about gapps stopped. Basically, I can't get any further on a so called "stock rom".
My dilemma is, I can't get into CWM recovery mode or the download mode anymore. It appears that if I enter the right combination, I get a few scattered pixels on the screen (instead of the CWM menu), and the number of pixels keep increasing until the screen turns practically white (in approx 5 minutes). Same store with recovery mode, computer won't even load drivers anymore, let alone ODIN reading it on a COM port. Getting into ODIN was already an impossible task 4 hours ago.
Help please!

I hate getting to Odin on this phone... maybe a USB jig could work?

Problem Booting Note 10.1 n8013

Hello All,
I'm kinda stuck here and I think I have read and tried everything. Wondering if this thing is bricked. Signs tell me know, but don't know what else to do. Anyway here is some info. My note n8013 has a Redemption rom which I have had for a couple of months with no problems. Sorry don't remember the version. Either way I come home one day and its stuck on the boot animation screen. So i reboot it and it has the normal samsung boot screen, then it gets to the rom animation screen and gets stuck again. I cannot get pass this screen at all. Next I try to boot into TWRP so that I can restore to a previous backup. As I hold the power and volume up and reboot I then let go on power and keep holding volume up, then I get to see the TWRP logo, it disappears and reboots. So I am unable to get into TWRP. So then I go into download mode which seems to get there fine, but no matter what I try to flash with odin it fails. I have the same version odin v1.85 and drivers I had when I first started messing with this. I then try all the new versions still no go. I have tried to get the latest TWRP and CWM with odin. Nothing. I have also tried a compatible rom and nothing. Many thanks in advance.

Sorry I forgot to mention what version of windows. I am using Windows 7 SP1 64bit. I am just wondering why I cannot load TWRP direct from my Note anymore. Like I said it shows up and disappears. I have backups I made from that, just cannot get back to restore it.

I think it makes sense for me to brick this some how and maybe get a warranty swap. I've only had this since Oct 2012. I cannot give it to them like this when they see the animation of a custom rom. I've never had an issue with any device till this. Driving me crazy :silly:
Try flash a different recovery is about all left.
Possible likewise flash just a kernel.

Man I tried everything I can think of. It may just be a hardware issue. I called for samsung support and they sent me a shipping label. Hope I can get the warranty with this custom rom animation. they will also see the twrp logo when trying to go to recovery. Makes me nervous about sending it in.
Have you tried installing a new copy of TWRP or CWM in Oden?
I have seen were people have issues starting after TWRP or CWM recovery, they say to make sure that you have un-check "disable Auto Reboot" in Oden.
there is a tutorial here that explains it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102677

[Q] Stuck in boot loop, tried everything but still stuck.

Hello,
I had a rooted verizon galaxy s3 (CM10) and I recently got stuck in a boot loop. So I connected to Odin and flashed both MD5 files and the root66.tar file, booted into recovery and tried to do a factory reset.
The problem is my power button won't work in recovery mode, so I can not select anything in the menu. The volume buttons work I just cant select anything.
I've searched all over for 2 days now and I can't find anything about my problem, am I screwed or is there something I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks preemptively for the help.
bump please help
Maybe possible to send commands to phone via adb?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Which recovery you are using? Try twrp which recognises touch so no need of power button to select any option. I think class cwm also has touch based recovery.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
Thanks for the replies, I tried to run adb but just runs a lot of code then closes out. I tried to re-download and the same thing happened.
I was using the stock.vzw.root66.tar and BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2.... I flashed them many times and nothing has changed it still just gets stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Where would I go about finding the recovery files you mentioned? I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks again for the replies.

If it's stuck at the LTE logo, boot into recovery and factory reset.
Edit: to Odin flash CWM or TWRP, you can find both files in Open1your1eyes0's root thread in the dev section. Use either once you're rooted.

If you just want this to be fixed quickly, you could always flash a Full-wipe rom that contains the bootloader, etc. Then after your back in the stock rom you could always re-unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery , re-root and flash whatever rom you wanted.

Thanks for the replies, I've searched the internet for a full-wipe rom and I cannot seem to find one, can you point me in the right direction?
Also sorry for the delayed response, I actually graduated college yesterday.
EDIT: Now I can't get the phone to boot into download mode or recovery mode, the Samsung logo comes up and the screen goes black. I'm pretty sure my phone is ****ed.
What was the last change you made? Also are you using the oem cable? Also, heres the link scroll down to section 5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
