Hello, so I tried to back up my system via Nandroid in CWM recoveryto my external sd card. When the process was finished I clicked on reboot system now so I could continue my preparation for flashing a rom. It showed the Samsung Logo and the Splashscreen, but then enters the CWM recovery. I also tried pulling out the battery and then pushing the power button, but it still boots into CWM recovery. Any help? It looks like my phone got messed up and I can only use it in CWM recovery. Help is much appreciated.
Maybe Odin back to a stick firmware if you can get into download mode.

How far into the process does it get? Can you get it into it to wipe and factory reset? If it's boot looping then try wiping after flash.

If your phone connects to Odin then it's a good sign.
Download stock Rom from link and make sure to check md5 for match.
Only flash if the md5 matches.
...make sure the appropriate boxes are checked (and unchecked) in Odin before flash.
Wait! Untill you see the green pass on Odin after flashing before disconnecting the phone. Phone may hang with first reboot. Pull out the battery and reboot a second time

Yeah, you have to make sure you factory reset when setting it back to stock. It will put you into a bootloop or hang on boot if you don't.
To get into recovery to factory reset press 'Volume Up' + 'Home' + 'Power' and hold it until youre in recovery.
the problem started when i reboot my skyrocket then i entered CWM then i went to extras and " format /system " i just did it and reboot my device and it didn't turn on the samsung logo just appear and disappear every time i turn on the device
...
and now i can't enter CWM to flash a custom ROM ... can any one help me to enter it or recover my device
Why would you wipe your OS without flashing a new one? It won't boot because it has nothing to boot. Shut the phone off and boot into cwm manually.

Please tell me you didn't really do that.
The ONLY reason you should format /system is if you're installing a new ROM, and even then you should flash the ROM pre-reboot. Simply put, formatting /system erases the Android OS.
Check the stickies for info on re-flashing stock.

Hold vol and down and power button. When you see Samsung let go off the power button but still hold the volumes

It depends on if your phone is US or Canadian. I think you should push both volume up and down plus power. Let go of power button as soon as phone vibrates, hold on to volume buttons until CWM shows up. There's no point to let them go when you see samsung/model number, sometimes it goes right to boot if you let go of the volumes to early. That's why i usually hold both of them down until i see CWM.
Seems that my GS3 has magically lost the ability to boot into the bootloader. The only options I have are "System - Power off - Recovery - Download"

That's all we have access to. Are you unable to boot into recovery or download mode?

Oh, lol I was thinking back to my GNex days I guess :cyclops:
Thanks, I think it is working fine.
Scratch that, now my phone wont boot except into download mode...
Tried flashing CWM Recovery with Flashify and it rebooted to the "Downloading..." screen. I cannot boot normally now.

If it will not boot into the rom or recovery even after pulling the battery then you'll have to start fresh with Odin.

I think my Nexus 5 is fried (hopefully not).
I went to check my phone (almost full battery last time I looked), and I notice it's on the boot screen (the google logo with the lock symbol on the bottom) but it won't go past it. Strange, hold power down until it restarts, same thing, stuck at the logo. I am able to get into recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.0). But it can't do anything, can't wipe cache, can't restore/backup, because it can't mount any partition.
I was on stock 4.4.4 rooted, with Franco kernel r54.
Have you guys seen this before!? What should I do?
Can you get into the bootloader? Vol down + power

Yes, that is how I got to recovery. Selected recovery from the bootloader. I can also see the device through fastboot in bootloader mode.

Flashed cache.img from the factory image in fastboot, did fastboot reboot, and now it's doing the same thing, stuck at the Google logo.

I'd try the entire factory image then. You could try it without userdata.img to try and save your data

Just noticed you're on that thread too. If it is the /data that's corrupt, or worse, all my partitions are corrupt, what's the best way to pull the data that's in there now? adb? What if I can't mount it?
Wow...it somehow just booted. I installed Philz' recovery and it was saying the same thing, coudln't mount /data, /cache or anything. Told it to reboot into bootloader, that didn't work so I go to power it on and it booted... :/

I left it overnight to backup everything off my phone onto the computer, and I wake up to it powered off, now it won't boot again, lovely! At least it let me copy everything!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. If you don't care about losing your /data, just reinstall TWRP and whatever ROM you're using.
Sounds a bit like your emmc is corrupt

So after this happened I decided to completely reflash it with the stock 4.4.4 image. Now, 2 weeks later I wake up and my phone is off. Won't boot past the Google screen, again. Seriously!? I didn't undervolt it at all this time. Completely stock except root and Franco's r54 kernel.

Try flashing a stock, rooted rom in recovery, just dirty flash it. You'll probably have to use adb to side load or push the rom to the device

I will try that as a last resort, but considering that /data can't be mounted, I'm pretty sure that won't help since it'll just flash system right? The data partition is corrupt (just like last time). I'm trying the method of fixing the corruption through adb based on the link I pasted on the first page.
