Hey guys, im new to this, this is my first thread and i just rooted my device yesterday for the first time. So, I have an htc one S, and after rooting the phone I tried to put cyanogenmod on it. The phone booted, but was stuck on the screen where it said "cyanogenmod" and their was a blue light circling the word...so i guess it was stuck on the boot screen? when the phone goes into clockwork recovery mode, i cant really do anything either because it shuts off after like 10 seconds, or if i press any of the options there then it also shuts off. Also, sometimes the phone doesnt turn on, sometimes it does....i really have no idea what's going on :/. PLEASE HELP !!
update
okay i think ive fixed the problem that clockworkmod keeps turning off, the difficulty im finding in now is that the computer cant read the sd card and there is an error on my phone "E: Can't mount / sdcard"

Hi I was trying to install Andremada3 on my galaxy captivate and got as far as installing URSA minor and then when I tried to install the Andremeda it was not on my sd card... so I tried to reflash to factory so I have access to the internal card to upload the zip file in doing so something happened and now my phone just keeps on flashing the battery icon or the at&t world phone screen and does not get past that... it does not even go into recovery mode by holding the volume and the power button... What can I do...Please help Thanks..
My sister said she spilled a little water on the screen of her phone the other day and it started boot looping.
Ive been trying to reflash it, but there are some issues...
If the phone is plugged in, it will cycle the charging battery on and off... unable to get into download or recovery.
If its not, it used to show the galaxy boot screen and turn on and off... now it just stays frozen on that screen. In either instance i was unable to get into recovery or download mode.
I got into recovery a couple of times when it actually booted the ROM, but everytime i would use the power button to try to make a selection the phone would just reboot and go into a cycle again.
I also got it into download mode once through the ROM but it cant get the ROM to boot anymore...
I might be able to get it into recovery but when i do it just reboots when i select anything.
and help would be awesome
thanks.
OH, when i actually got the ROM to boot it would throw an array of system errors and force closes. I also think the water had nothing to do with it and something she did after the water is what started causing the problems
I got recovery and i flashed a new kernal and ROM and erased everything and its still freezing at first Galaxy boot screen.
probably because the phone is water damaged?
See if the guide in the second link of my signature will help.
Thanks ill give it a shot.
But a major problem is that i am unable to get it to boot into download mode.
So i got CWM to boot, and i reflashed the kernal and ROM, with no luck.
CWM read catch error. Unable to mount... format... ect...
From what ive been reading the internal catch is fried....
Anyone have a motherboard they want to ship me? LOL :laugh:
Thanks lumin30, I finally found a way to get the phone into download mode. (take the battery out, Put it back in, hold buttons, plug USB in, press power button) after a few reboots it would finally go.
I followed the link and got it back to stock and it booted. Now letting it sit to settle in and hopefully it will be functional again.
This thread can be deleted! :good:
Hey there XDA! I thought I'd root my P920 a few days back, which went smooth, no issues and I was enjoying my newly rooted Optimus
I wanted to get a new kernel for it, so first thing I did was install CWM, Then clicking on 'Flash ClockworkMod recovery' in the app, which then flashed a CWM recovery if I'm not wrong. The final thing left to do was rebooting into the recovery, which I did by clicking 'Reboot into recovery'
Now waiting for the phone to reboot into recovery, the LG logo came up on screen, and stayed there for some time, which is normal behaviour as it takes a bit of a while to boot up for me, but then something odd happened, the logo disappeared and the screen blacked out, leaving the phone off. Immediately noticing this, I tried to boot the phone up as I normally would, but again the same thing occurred, logo appears, then phone blacks out and returns to an off state.I repeated this a few times, but to no avail.
These are some things I tried:
Normal booting multiple times
Normal booting after battery pull
Normal booting while charging
Normal booting after removing SD card (this resulted in a blue screen appearing after the LG logo on bootup, though I was impatient and didn't wait to see what would happen so I pulled the battery out )
Normal booting after removing SD card and then battery pull
Normal booting after removing SD and SIM card
Normal booting after removing SD and SIM and then battery pull
Booting into recovery multiple times
Booting into recovery while charging
Booting into recovery while charging
Booting into recovery after removing SD card and battery pull
Booting into recovery after removing SD card
Booting into recovery after removing SD and SIM card
Booting into recovery after removing SD and SIM card and battery pull
So as can be seen I've tried tons of situations
A few times, the screen turned into repeated patterns of static colour, it's difficult to describe but its only happened a couple times, and appeared on top of the LG logo. From what I've gathered, something is preventing the phone from booting up properly, either normally or into recovery, unless the problem is something else entirely. Also I don't have any NANdroid or Titanium backups.
So my questions are, could it be that I need a full charge for it to boot properly? Otherwise what's the problem and how do I get the phone to boot normally? I would prefer that all data on the phone is not erased but if it's a must then so be it.
I really appreciate any and all help I can get here, thanks!
P.S. I'm new to rooting and customising at that level, so please ask for any additional details or anything I was unclear about. Apologies to all for the lengthy first post, thanks again!
AW: [Q] Boot issues after installing CWM recovery
Hi welcome
Girst thing you have to do before flashing or doining something with your phone is a nandroid backup. I do always a titaniumbackup and saved pictures and music manually only for insurence. Next thing, whcich app do you use for flashing cwm?
For your data im not sure if you can rescue that i dont think so.
If i understand it right your are stuck on bootlogo right?
To rescue your phone you can always go back to gb by flashing kdz file with flashtool. Watch here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540163
But in that case you will loose all your data on phone.
P.S. and next time if you want to flash cwm use os_hackings all in one tool. And flash twrp recovery its better and didnt have so much bugs
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda app-developers app
I used ROM Manager for flashing cwm, yes I am stuck on bootlogo
Thanks for the help! I'll try out what you suggested and report back here if it works
Hey guys!
Obviously, the force of the "lack-of-knowledge" gods has struck again...
I was just trying to create a backup of my Galaxy S7 (930F) using TWRP recovery. The first attempt failed, saying "couldn't mount /data"...i browsed through the web and searched for solutions...found a video on youtube saying that it would be recommendable to change the file system if the EXT4 didn't work...so i did to exFAT and then, hell broke in on me...
The phone got stuck in changing the file system...after 20 min i killed it by pressing all 4 buttons...then it kept booting and booting to the galaxy logo...i tried to shut down again and reboot into recovery....it worked and I could see my providers logo again....but after that "Samsung" appeared, changing in brightness and nothing more since then...i shut it down and here I am..
Is it bricked..or what can I do now? Please help!!!!!
Thanks in advance!
Greetings Alex
Flash a stock ROM from here
Code:
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=G930F
With ODIN from here
Code:
https://mega.nz/#!acoGhA7a!17OPP5A1g9d7-GxAqCbjXFpmYfO7CgAHNcaZxqEkOao
And the phone in download mode (Volume down & home & power)
If you can't get it into download mode, hold those three buttons in until the phone reboots a second time, hopefully into download mode

Hi!
Does it got fixed for you? I have the same issue.
My Karbonn Sparkle V appears to have bricked itself, I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it, and I don't have the money or time to replace it. I turned it off when I was going to a job interview, prior to which it was working fine. Afterwards I tried to turn it back on, and for the last 12 hours I've been fighting to get it working again with no success.
I can get into recovery mode, but nothing more. If allowed to try a normal boot, then it will either stay on the "Karbonn Smart" logo screen forever and ever amen, or it will APPEAR to boot, but once it reaches the lock screen it dies on its arse. The best-case is that the lock screen will stay up for about 3 seconds, then the screen will go black for another 3 seconds, and then we go back to the lock screen and the process repeats. OR, the lock screen comes up, 3 seconds, and then we go back to the bouncing dots loading screen forever and ever amen.
I tried a hard wipe from recovery mode - it's made absolutely no difference.
This is a stock phone which has only ever received the OTA updates; I've never rooted it, I don't have a custom recovery installed, and I've never used ADB before today.
I've downloaded a number of "stock ROMs" for this phone, but none of them actually work for me; it doesn't seem to matter whether I try to install them through Recovery mode\Apply update from ADB, or put them on the SD card and try "Apply update from SD card". For most of them, I get the error "failed to verify whole-file signature" and it won't install; I tried to install the stock file from https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/ota-links-t3287707 but that doesn't get me much further; The error becomes
"Package expects build thumbprint of 6.0.1/MMB290/2459718:user/release-keys or 6.0.1/MMB29K/2419427:user/release-keys; the device has 6.0.1/MOB31E/3142026:user/release-keys"
