[Q] How can I boot back into my OS? - General Questions and Answers

I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500. Its rooted and have CWM based recovery installed via ODIN-PDA.
It does not have terminal installed. Yesterday I downloaded a software name Quick Boot (root) from google play market and its icon is purple in colour. i downloaded such software because i wanted some apps like that to ease me in booting to other mode. So after installing i tried using it. So i tried the recovery mode button. it asked for SU permission and after i allowed it, it boot into CWM based recovery and i was very happy as i though it was a working app. But now, i restarted the phone millions of time but it just keep booting into the recovery mode again instead of booting back into the samsung android os. :'( i read and tried so called cold-boot but no hope, tried wipe factory data and wipe cache and wiped delvik cache from the recovery but still no hope. anyone can please help me? :''''''(

[Q] Bricked P5100? Help please!

My P5100 had CM10 nightly on it and was running fine until I upgraded to the latest version of CM10 after wiping the cache & Dalvik cache. After the upgrade I couldn't get Google Play to run even after wiping its data and fixing permissions so I tried to do a CWM restore. Unfortunately there was a fault restoring the Data partition and now my tablet is stuck at the animated bootscreen. If I long-press the power button it powers off but immediately restarts. There is no way to start in in recovery or flash mode. I've plugged it into my PC and the Samsung Android ADB interface is showing but the other references to the tablet all have a yellow triangle in Device Manager. I'm hoping some clever person can help me rescue the tablet with ADB. Thanks!

IF CWM is not working use Odin to flash CWM again then use CWM to flash CM10,
You may need to do a factory reset (full wipe) from CWM.
If all else fails use Odin to flash stock JB ROM

Thanks but Odin cannot see the tablet to re-flash the recovery.
Downlods mode
Then flash new firmware

That's the problem - I cannot access download mode
UPDATE - it just started in download mode! I can manage from here!!
Just for the record you can install adb on the pc and run the command 'adb reboot recovery'. This will force the tablet to reboot in recovery mode.

Jeez, this has taken up most of the day to fix. I came across many problems I have not previously experienced:
1. When the tablet was stuck at the boot animation and I tried to turn it off by long-pressing the power button it immediately restarted. The only way I could get it to turn off was by long-pressing the power button whilst it was connected to my PC.
2. Flashing the stock ROM with Odin appeared to complete successfully but it would never fully boot, it always got stuck at the black & white Samsung screen. Same problems turning it off as above.
3. Flashing CWM with Odin caused the tablet to reboot into the stock ROM which would not load, in the end I had to untick the "reboot" button in Odin, power it off then manually restart with the Vol- & power buttons.
4. The only way I could get a bootable ROM was by flashing CM10 with CWM. I tried to restore 2 previous CWM backups but on each occasion there was an error restoring the Data partition and I got stuck at the scenario at (1). The backups were made to the external SD card with CWM Touch - is the Touch version unreliable?
I would be really interested if anyone could shed any light on any of this stuff!
For how long did you let it install during the first reboot? It happened to me too, and it took about 10 minutes, maybe even more...
Also, did you try in the "Mount and storage" cwm menu the options "format system", "format data", "format cache" and "format preload" options, prior to re-flashing a ROM? I have read somewhere that for a clean install it's better to do this, as it really clears everything that could mess up the system between two different bases ROMs (like CM and stock).
What I do everytime is using in CWM these 4 "format" options, plus "wipe" system, cache and dalvik, then immediately after this I flash with cwm the new "zip" copied on the card. Then the first reboot is much longer than usual, as at this stage it installs the files, rebuild the dalvik cache etc.
Good luck

I think I gave it a good 20 mins to boot. When I got up this morning there was an error message saying that there was no room to install any more apps even though I had very few installed. Settings -> Storage would not calculate the space available so I figured that the partitions had become corrupted. I did the step by step format you described and reflashed & it all seems to be OK now.

[Q] CWM/Cyanogen on Mele A1000, encryption failed

I installed CWM on my Mele A1000 and I was able to reboot into recovery mode using adb.
At which point I got the CWM menu where I was able to install files from SD, wipe cache etc...
After installing all the files (Cyanogen) I rebooted, now when the device starts all I see is the
Cyanogen splash screen for a few minutes and then a message indicating:
Encryption Unsuccessful. Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible.
To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset ....
This message looks like it's part of the standard Android system.
Since CWM is installed I should be able to access it in order to install something else,
but I cannot figure out how to reboot in recovery/cwm mode. There is no hardware button other than the power button on the Mele A100
I found an image for a 'rescue system' here: forum.doozan.com/read.php?6,9396,9396#msg-9396
Which boots a version of Linux and allows me to mount the internal storage of the Mele,
but I still have no idea how to force it to boot in to CWM Recovery.
If I could boot in CWM recovery I could restart the entire process and try again.

So no backup of your data?
First off, reboot into your bootloader then select Recovery. Use the Wipe cache partition option and try again.
If it doesn't solve your issue you will probably have to factory reset (loosing your /sdcard (data/media/0) content).
Yeah as mentioned, wipe cache is about your only option. Nothing you can do to get your data back otherwise.
Moving forward, I have suggestions on how you can back up your data, if you go to the all guides thread in my signature and look for my data thread.
btw, all loops are infinite

[Completed] [Q] Stuck in recovery loop after using Rashr Flash Tool

Phone: LG Spectrum
ROM: Cyanogen 10.1 3 or something
CWM: 6.0.4.7
So I was in the process of manually installing CWM Touch via Rashr Flash Tool, and when I successfully got it installed, the app asked if I wanted to reboot into recovery. So I pressed yes, and it did.
Unfortunately, whatever that app wrote into the androids system, it never seemed to remove it afterwards because after every single reboot, it kept going back to recovery, not loading the android OS. Even when I explicitly chose "reboot to bootloader" in CWM, it would still reboot to recovery. I've even went to a totally stock restore, and it still kept happening. Cleared cache, data, davik cache, same result. What can I do?
I currently have 2 restores. One of cyanogen, where i used Rashr's tool, and the other a V6 stock restore.

Yes, restoring the last working nandroid backup would be an option.
Alternatively you may have to flash another recovery.
I found this guide to flash CWM recovery on a similar device: How to flash cwm recovery on the lg spectrum 2.
But I am not sure if it wil work for your device too.
So better ask in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.
Thread closed and thank you.
