Hi folks,
I searched the other forums but didn't see anything that looked like my incident so I'm hoping you can help.
I recently replaced my MicroSD card and took the opportunity to install CleanROM 6. This is my 4th time adding a custom rom so I was confident. I'm rooted already so I proceed to back up using Titanium Backup, booted to CWM, chose "wipe data / factory reset", and then walked through the process of installing CleanROM successfully from the zip file. Everything went smoothly like it has every previous time. When CleanROM installation completed, I returned to CWM and rebooted.
The problem is that when I turn the phone on, it boots to the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S III" SCREEN" and hangs there. I am able to get into both CWM Recovery and ODIN. Do I have a way to salvage my phone?
redownload the ROM and try again.

Good advice. I tried it again with the same results. However, I just tried cyanogenmod 10 with success. Thanks
Gave me an excuse to try cyanogenmod... I've been eyeing this for sometime. Thanks again.

I am new to rooting/installing new roms so I may leave out information that could be useful. Thanks for help in advance.
Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and did everything up to Step 12, is where I think something went wrong. I opened app, selected the CWM recovery did that and rebooted into recovery. Went back into where you had to select rom screen I believe and i just did "reboot device now" or whatever just got it to start again. Figured that was the safe choice. Then put the liquid smooth jb on phone and then I rebooted phone selected the Rom from SD card and clicked to start. Everything seemed to go fine said it installed and did reboot and now just sits at the Liquid Smooth reboot screen. I've done some battery pulls and just continues to do it. I've done the volume up/home/power button and just boots up into same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I did or how to fix it. Hoping I didn't royally mess up my phone.
It sounds like your didn't do a factory data reset before flashing the ROM. Go back into cwm and do a reset.

Hi all
I’m a complete noob at this and it seems like I have got myself into a bit of a pickle. Sorry for the massive description but I thought it would make it easier to get a good answer.
My Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT 19505 LTE
PDA I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM I9505XXUEMK8
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin. In Odin I added the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5" file to the PDA field then rebooted the device. Then I added the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx" file to the PDA field, rebooted the device and the phone automatically opened in TWRP recovery. In recovery mode I wiped the cache, system and dalvik cache. I then went to install, browsed to the "I9505 Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finaly_v2.0" file on my SD card, rebooted the device and the Google logo came up on the screen for a few minutes and all was good. Got my new ROM, ran a root checker and all was good.
After some research I decided I wanted to use the Pacman ROM as it seemed to a lot more customisable. Using the same method I went to TWRP recovery wiped the cache, system, and dalvik cache. I then went to Install, browsed for the pacman ROM and the Gapps file on my SD card and everything installed ok, the phone restarted and the pacman logo came up everything was fine. Although I did notice on start up that I got this message.(and have had this error message ever since)
kernel is not seandriod enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
After using the Pacman ROM for a day I noticed a lot of bugs like my apps would disappear, I couldn't use my banking apps and my phone was generally performing very badly. So I decided to remove the ROM and use CyanogenMod ROM under the recommendation of a friend. So again I pressed home+power+vol up to enter recovery mode but this time it didn’t enter the TWRP recovery it entered the stock recovery mode. This was slightly concerning but I proceeded to use the list menu and cleared the cache etc, browsed the SD card and went to the CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM I previously downloaded. It began to install but in red I got the error message stating that I didn’t have the right permission or signature. The phone rebooted back to the Pacman ROM. I tried the above three times and it still continued to boot back into Pacman ROM sometimes I struggled to even get back into recovery mode.
Soooooo I decided to try and go back to the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and play it safe, using the method from my first paragraph. But when it installed through TWRP I got an error message saying cant find MD5 file. The device rebooted and the Google edition logo came up on the screen but it seems to be locked in a loop. The Google logo wont go away and the phone vibrates once then three times quickly every 10 seconds.
I can still enter both TWRP recover and Download Mode. But I don’t want to mess around with it anymore without getting some advice. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need my phone working.
Thanks again
Aiden
Did you create a backup while on your first run with google edition? If so wipe cache, system, and dalvik and restore to your backup. Should put you back to where you began.

I know I should, but I didnt. Is it still fixable ?
*Update*
Couldnt help myself had to have a tinker around. Managed to get Cyanogenmod 10 working with Gapps. Gonna see how I get on with this. Although still would like to know I have been having all these problems.
Sometimes things just dont go as planned: p I have easily soft bricked my phone around 10 times and always able to fix it. You really should have made a stock backup before flashing anything. I recommend doing it now so you at least have a known working configuation backed up for future use. Trust me backups are your friends!

Hello community, I am new here so I don' t know where to put this.
Well I need some help, I am having problems with my old tab, A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113, Flashed with custom ROM CM 10.1.3 for GT-P5110
Worked fine for a year and a Half, the issue that I am having now is that, it constantly restarts, after entering to the OS I can tweak change etc, but after a few secs it just turns of and reboots the system.
The other problem that I am having is that I tried everything that I could think of. I deleted some apps, which came back after the reboot. I booted to safemode, and deleted the last apps that I installed, still came back after the crash reboot.
I went to recovery mode (CWM) and did a Factory reset, delete cache and delete Dalvik Cache. Nothing when reboot everything was like last time.
wen't to and tried to reflash CM 10.1.3 (stable) following every procedure and nothing everything was back.
Last thing I tried is ODIN with stock ROM (which is hard to find for this tab.) but get write error after going to half. I am downloading a second stock ROM (android 4.1.1) to see how it goes.
Hope to find help here, I would be greatly thankful.
EDIT: Flashed now with the new stock ROM, ODIN says success, everything seems fine, but again I got received by the same splash and the same logon screen, and still crashes and reboots...
I really need the help

It keeps with the boot loop.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. After you flash with Odin go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work it may be that you're device is just getting old and giving up the ghost. There's a whole forum for your device which may also help. See this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
Oh, that would be bad news :/
Do you think it could be that I deleted CWM rommanager app, and then accidentally deleted the .recovery, that put me into this situation?

It didn't work. I noticed that after the transferring of odin it doesn't go to the installation procedure. It just skips that and goes to the logscreen with how everything I had.
Now I went to safe mode, and deleted all apps that I could from play store. when I came back after a restart, everything was there, back. :/
Please ask any further questions you have on the q&a forum in your drives forum, the link I gave you. They are the experts on your device

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I am kinda scared so I'll try to be careful.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite GT-S7390 (I know it's not a great device, but it's what I have), I had installed in it a CM11 rom which worked pretty well, except for not playing videos. In a Facebook group for users of that phone I saw a modded version that worked several video bugs for that rom, so I downloaded it along with the GApps, copied them into the SD Card and went into recovery (TWRP).
When I tried to factory reset, I had the next issue: "Unable to mount /sdcard" (which is the internal memory, I think). I tried to mount it on my PC and format it (I'm not really sure what mounting is, I'm sorry), but I wasn't successful.
Anyway, I rebooted the device, and it asked me if I wanted to re-install SU because I wasn't root (which I was). First time I said yes, and it rebooted into recovery (even when i selected power off). Then I tried powering it off again by recovery, and it rebooted into recovery again. I took off the battery, and now it just shows the model number and it stays in a black screen.
I really don't know what I did wrong, and I am very afraid of having bricked my phone. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much!

There, I was able to go to Download mode, reinstall the Recovery and flash the ROM. I think I got it from here, thank you very much!
Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again
