[HELP] Phone stucks at booting! - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, i had Marcel's CM10 with his kernel and i wanted to try miui v4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527336) ...so i did a backup, wiped all, (factory reset/dalvik wipe), then flashed miui and strarted...but it stuck at bootlogo!
I retried the whole process, the last time i did factory reset again after flashing, but still the same... Then i wanted to restore backup...so i first wiped all, flashed CM10 again, installed my app2script, and restored. But i aborted at data restore cause of mount error...of course, i retried, this time only wipe and cm10, but it still stucks...only formatting data gives error "[E] format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/st17.
/data not wiped"... Please help!

Try this: Flash a rom in Odin and then install cm10 again and when its installed reboot recovery and try with restore. That always helped me on my old g3 when i had problems

G3 - Made a mistake
Hi there !
I'm new to this forum just for the Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo GT-I5800 even I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305) I still wanted that one to work after reading different threads on this forum...
What I've done is I've wiped the phone without making any backup before that, which is my first mistake... Before that I did not root the phone :crying: Which is my another mistake... Now the phone is getting stucked on the boot with a Samsung GT-I5800 writing on the screen...
The Memory Card is completely new so I ain't got any data on it... I am very new to the phone systems and I'd need step by step instructions if any1 could be that kind and do it for me please.
The phone is on 2.2 Android and I'd like that phone to be for gaming for my gf so I need some good performance ROM I thought something like KEvolution v1.1 or Kyrillos' ROM

Wiping the phone should not cause a bootloop, especially if you aren't rooted and have no custom ROM...
Flash another rom with ODIN.

I've already tried it. It won't work. That's the problem. If u need any info about it just let me know what is it that u want and I'll get it for ya.

could this be because the backup is on an external SD card? if so, is there any way to move it without being able to boot?

Hey guys, any news about fixing bug in TWRP which caused corrupting partitions and bricking phones?
Hi guys,
I have the same issue as OP, however only the /data won't get mounted. My phone got stuck while doing wipe of the data partition in TWRP 2.6.3.0 (it didn't freeze, but it was taking over 40 minutes already), so I had to take the battery out and put it back in.
First, I tried using TWRP 2.6.3.0 to perform the wipe again, but I got
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
I got the same error when I tried to install any ROM, so the installation got aborted.
Then I flashed 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC3 through fastboot and did Format all partitions (except sdcard). The format went fine with no errors, however when I tried to flash any ROM (I tried CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel by sultanxda and Slimkat specifically), I get:
Code:
Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/Slim-pyramid-4.4.4.build.7.8-WEEKLY-6262.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Same happens with the CM11 ROM. I also tried performing the full format with 4EXT recovery, then flashing the ROMs with TWRP. Same problem as before, Unable to mount '/data'.
Here is my bootloader info:
S-OFF
Firmware 3.33
HBOOT 1.27.1100
Radio 11.24A.3504.31_M
I am pretty much desperate at this point. Is there any way or chance of fixing my partitions? I haven't tried fixing it using parted, because I was unable to find a good howto for Sensation. I would be happy for any advice.

i think something is wrong with the rom zip or with sdcard
try to redownload the rom and flash it again with 4ext recovery
or try to flash a different rom

Here is what I did:
- Formatted the SD card
- Put CM11, Slimkat and ViperS/C2 5.2.1 on it
- Checked MD5/SHA1 sums for each of them
- Went to 4EXT, performed full format
- Tried to flash Slimkat first, same result as before:

in both cases the issue is the sdcard as i see
i suggest to format your sdcard
backup first whatever you need
or if you have a different sdcard try to flash the rom with that one

As I mentioned, I did format the SD card before trying.
Also today I tried with different, definitely working SD card (also formatted before trying) - same results as mentioned before. Doesn't seem to be SD card-related.
I also tried flashing stock ROM from RUU by extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to P58IMG.zip - the process gets stuck at
Code:

forever. This consequently locked my bootloader, but I was able to unlock it again using fastboot.
I managed to retrieve log from 4EXT, and this is what it says during format of everything:

yeah you are right
some partitions are broken probably from TWRP because a lot of users faced issues similar with yours
someone posted a solution few days ago how to boot a rom from sdcard
he had also broken partitions in internal memory caused from TWRP and he managed to boot a rom from sdcard
he created two partitions
one to be recognized as /data and one to be recognized as /system and mounted them successfully(if i remember well)
but i can't find that post
if i find it i will come with edit

[Q] CM 12.1 Install Problem - Updater Binary

hi, I'm on a Moto g xt1032.

Anyone have any ideas on how to help?
I've been searching the forums for ages now :/
Thanks.

I have tried a clean install, and wiping everything. But I still get the same problem no matter what I try to flash now.
The file system was EXT4 in GPE, but I have tried formatting to F2FS in twrp recovery, I still have the same problem.

I'm getting this ; trying to flash cm-12.1-20150419-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip onto my falcon which had been running GPE. I think it's due to /system not being large enough:

Answering my own question here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57444986&postcount=1
Much better partition table here ; I'll flash this then have another go. Not sure what state my /data partition is in ATM
---------- Post added 20th April 2015 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 19th April 2015 at 11:56 PM ----------
Yep. That worked, just upzip, then fastboot flash the gpt from the thread I linked to:
Code:
cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p36 /data f2fs rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 /system ext4 rw
The system partition is now partition 34 instead of 35.
Just for giggles, I made sure that everything was hunky-doray:
Code:
umount /sdcard
umount /data
mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
make_ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p34
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 /sdcard
Then adb push CM12.zip and gapps to /sdcard and install the normal way.

[Completed] [Q] "E:Can't mount /cache" - ?enabling adb? - i9100

Hi
I've cm-11-20150607-NIGHTLY-i9100 on my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100
It has gapps-kk-20140105-signed (as far as I remember).
I do have cwm 6.0.5.1
Two days ago, there was some update (haven't seen what exactly).
Now, while booting the phone hangs on the boot screen.
When I lunch into cwm-recovery I do see:
CWM-based Revocery v6.0.5.1
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/last_log
The show log says:

W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 (File exist)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
(and more like this)

I do have MTP enabled, and debugging USB disabled- this is a big problem since i can not access adb...
I would like to backup data, but how can I enable adb from cwm?
I did try to wipe dalvik (I think it did work) /format cache - It does not work - it hangs.
I did try to "reboot to receovery (or reboot to bootloader): from the cwm- it hangs
I did try to mount /storage/sdcard0 - it hangs
I did try to create a backup from phone memory to scracd1 - it hangs
I can boot into fastboot.
It looks like some error on partition, or problem with internal phone memory.
Anything that try to access internal sdcard0 hangs
How can I backup the phone (or at lest photo - not all were synced yet).
What would be the next step?
Any idea howto enable USB debugging?
I've seen this tutorial
(can add a link so google "enable usb debbuging through clockworkmod with adb")
but it is for the Nexus, not for the i9100...
I do have Ubuntu, with
adb version 1.0.31
I can switch to Windows if it would help...
Ok,
For the moment, I made the wrong assumption.
I can access adb.
The solution was to install latest android SDK (cm11 is some like Android 4.4.4) to get newest adb
(developer.android com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio )
To be clear, if you're having this same issue the problem is probably an out-of-date SDK. As of 4.2.2 there is a security feature that requires you to confirm the RSA fingerprint of the connecting device. Open the SDK manager and update the tools! Then reboot. - quote from stackoverflow com/questions/14993855/android-adb-device-offline-cant-issue-command
