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.

If nothing else, like Jkilo said, provide a logcat and maybe someone could take a look.
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
No image or wrong image!"
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.
Or you can run the RUU exe, just download and run from your pc. It's pretty self explanatory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335068

The problem is you didn't format /system.
Redownload the Rom. Then follow THIS GUIDE when you flash.

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
In CWM, did the typical things
A Data/factory Reset, Format: System, Data And Cache, And Clear The Partition And Dalvik Caches, Do That To All Of Them 3 Times Each.
ran new radio zip.
Booted into download mode, and did odin thing as instructed following info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
used the md5 for latest stock ATT ICS.
This went thru fine and rebooted.
here I am, at ATT boot animation, just runs once and sits.
I can get into android system recovery....
What do I do next?
please point me if I missed the obvious thread......

no dice!
any other ideas?
OK I tried flashing different things, went back to CWM, then did stock again.
works!
yuck I hate this bloat ware
one of my recommendations in that post you followed was try factory reset and/or flash the stock again if things are not right, especially coming from custom roms.
but i will edit the radio flashing to do it 2 times and add another warning to reflash stock again
I had FP8 stock -rooted, and it was working fine. This morning for some reason I found it turned off. When I turned it on, the phone starts normally, but it reaches home and turns black.
I restarted more than 5 times and it didn't work, so I decided I will reset with the pit file and EP4D. It flashes fine, but then it loops again! Tried Odin 6 times till now!!! with and without pit, and still loops. Did this happen to any of you before?!
did you try entering Recovery and doing re-flashing and/or doing a data wipe/factory reset?
Yes, that was the last thing I tried before resetting! I had one CWM backup after the fresh FP8 install. I got error while restoring (error: formatting system, I think). Then I odined back to EP4D
Any Help??!
I think you have to Odin stock ROM.

Hi JihadSquad, The Stock ROM is the Stock EP4D, right? the one from imnuts reset instructions. I did odin it almost 7 times. I tried to use the Stock CWM, and chose reset again from the menu, and it formats everything, but it gives an error in formatting system!

Have you tried to Odin tweak?

I screwed up my phone! I got it starting yesterday after rebooting A LOT! then I got an error on the SD card. I opened it on my computer and it worked fine. I decided it to format it, and I format it to FAT32, and now it doesn't recognize it anymore!
So, I then thought may be I need to odin the pit file again to re-partition, Odin gave me an error, couldn't write to the phone. So now the phone actually starts, but doesn't recognize the SIM card nor the SD card. Yeah! I am gonna try to get a replacement today.
After searching through countless threads on this site, I've had no avail in resetting my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S6 running XtreStoLite 2.2.
A little while ago, I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt my phone with a custom ROM installed. I knew I had recovery and download mode, so I thought It'd be no biggie. Left the phone on overnight encrypting, came back 24 hours later and knew that it hung somewhere. Booted it up and this screen came up: Reset it and restored from TWRP backup, the same screen right here came up: http ://i.imgur.com/J37aZaq .png (sorry XDA will not let me post links, remove spaces) after this, I tried pressing the "reset device" button without success. It just rebooted the phone. Tried to restore from a different backup, no avail, then I tried to flash my custom ROM again through TWRP, no avail. I download ODIN and flashed stock Samsung firmware onto it and it still gave me this screen when I was done. Tried going into TWRP and factory resetting (where it wipes all partitions) and nothing happened. Currently, I'm trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S6 with the stock firmware through ODIN with the "re-parition" box checked.
It seems there's a hardware flag of some sort stopping this from working. I mean, my file system is brand new, reset to factory defaults, I even checked with ADB and everything has been formatted. Checked with TWRP file manager and everything is good. But I can't get past the "Encryption Failed" screen.
Help me! Thanks.
fix
did you fix this?
Hi, i am encountering the same problem with my G920F.
I have the XtreStoLite_Deo_Mod_v.2.3 and also TWRP installed
I started encrypting but it got stuck so i rebooted my phone and got the same message (Encryption failed, please do a factory reset). So i did the reset but the same screen appeared. I also tried restoring from a back-up from TWRP but the same screen was still there. So i decided to do a full wipe and restore the phone with a twrp back up witch was on my laptop. But when i am in TWRP i can not copy files to (or from) my phone. So it is not possible to get the backup on my phone. I am able to get in to download mode and connect the phone with odin.
My questions are :
- what was the solution to the problem?
- What causes the copying error? And what is the solution? So i can put the backup on my phone and try to restore it this way.
- What are my option with odin? Can i use the TWRP files in odin?
Thanks a lot in advance
Jules
Solved the issue. After a full wipe i installed a stock firmware with odin. It still displayed encryption failed after reboot. But after the factory reset the notification was gone.
I have fixed this
Best solution is on a stock rom to reset. If rooted with recovery -format and wipe all data, reset, let sit at boot for a while, go into recovery and install new rom from USB-OTG, or odin from download mode.
I've been rooting and customizing phones since the original T-Mobile G1...but this phone gives me headaches. I unrooted my phone through superuser and updated my phone through smart switch, I even tried odin to flash an update but for some reason it just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, if I re-root my phone it comes right up...I can get my phone to come up every time I've rooted it but if I don't root it after odin flash or smart switch, it just sits there. I've waited 30 minutes or more each at the samsung logo. Anyone who can help me, I just want to unroot and flash a clean stock firmware.

Go into TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, and system. Then reboot into download mode from TWRP. Then Odin flash stock firmware. Once booted or if stuck on boot logo, try to boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset. Power on and all should be good. I've done this before with success.

This should definitely work, however be warned. If you end up having to go into stock recovery for a factory reset, all of your user data will be wiped.
