Having some phone issues - Samsung Galaxy S II LTE (Skyrocket). I've Googled and searched these forums, I've tried every "fix" I could but haven't found anything that specifically matches my issue here. A few months ago I did have the sticky power button issue but I don't think this is the issue here given I am not getting multiple vibrations on the reboots.
I had CM 10.2 installed and running, did a factory reset/wipe dalvik & cache/wipe system and installed AOKP 4.3. Phone was stuck in a boot loop. Restored CM backup and phone still stuck in boot loop. Used ODIN to revert to factory stock image and phone is still stuck in a boot loop. Tried clearing cache and factory reset in stock recovery and phone is still stuck in boot loop.
As far as this boot loop it flashes at the SGS II LTE "S" logo for a couple of minutes, vibrates once then reboots. As well, as soon as I insert the battery, the phone turns on, holding the power button down to turn the phone off just reboots the phone.
Also in stock recovery, I see this:
-- Verifying internal MMC block --
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:Mount fail : EFS partition
Not need checksum confirmation
already executed!!...
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

inserting battery turns on phone is symptom of sticky power button.
your error message idk, could be because phone wont/cant stay on long enough to mount partitions

As I mentioned, I had the sticky power button issue about 3 months ago and I resolved it then, I just mentioned it because I was unsure if my current issue might be related. I read the rest of that post before I posted here and didn't see anything regarding the EFS issue.

if it starts as soon as you put the battery in the power button is the prob, afaik no one ever had the phone boot up reinserting the battery no matter what the state the phone was in, I even wiped the phone then pulled/reinserted the battery and the phone did not boot up.
next prob is you probably had a bad flash, why you had a bad flash idk, maybe a bad emmc, the only way to tell is to reflash stock, but u need to get to odin mode to do that but you cant get to odin because of the bootloop, reason behind bootloop is the sticky power button.
it could be dumb luck that both things happened at the same time. try to get into odin mode by either mashing the power button or cleaning it out to solve the bootloop
I can get into download mode and Odin. I've flashed stock and it still bootloops.
TL;DR:
1. Bootloop started with fresh AOKP 4.3 install
2. Bootloop continued with CWM restore to CM 10.2
3. Bootloop continued with CM 10.2 fresh install (everything wiped, even factory reset)
4. Bootloop continued with Stock install via ODIN
5. Factory reset and wiped cache in stock recovery and bootloop continues.
I think the power button is a separate issue from the bootloop - but I did try the fixes in the power button section just in case and no change.
Please share the steps to resolve bootloop

I too have the same problem. Have you resolved it. I have tried all the steps like get into ownload mode and Odin. I've flashed stock and it still bootloop. Please share the steps if you resolved. I don't know what to do
Thanks, KamaL

Do a factory reset in recovery

Hi all,
hope you can help me with this one...
I came from Beanstalk 4.4.240, rooted it way back, everything worked fine.
Now I wanted to get back to stock 2.3.6.... First I tried Heimdall, but its not detecting the phone, although Windows does (Sound at USB connection).
Therefore I switched to Odin as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
I used the Option A, adhered to all the rules (including step 4 of wiping cache and data).
Odin flashed successfully.
After reboot though I get the following error in the red recovery mode (after the update package installed successfully):
"e: format_volume: rfs format failed on dev-block-stl10"
"wipe cache not successful"
I then did the cache wipe manually, and it does it successfully.
Upon rebooting though its stuck on the ATT logo loop...
When I then go into recovery mode, the following message appears:
"e:copy_dbdata_media: cant mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for fomrat and reboot actions
Media files copy failed.
#Manual Mode#
...
Successfully applied multi-CSC"
Any ideas what to do here? I'm thinking it could be a partitioning problem...
I just want to make sure I flash the correct thing to fix this...
Oh and currently I moved on to Option B of the odin pack from above in the hope it could fix it - flash is successful, but error messages are completly the same...
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
Fixed
So I tried a different package with PIT, PDA & Phone (this buddy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083)
...and it worked!! Im back at stock
Hey there!
I have a problem: My wife's WIKO rainbow 3g suddenly showed this message:
She pressed the button several times, but nothing happened.
I booted the phone into stock recovery and tried to wipe /data, but then it says "mount /data error! Force format /data". It looks like it starts to format, but after a few seconds it ends with no message at all. Tried to reboot afterwards, but now it is stuck in the "Rainbow"-bootscreen.
Tried to update the phone using the WIKO software, but the phone isn't recognized anymore.
It's still on stock recovery, as it isn't rooted yet.
Is it possible to root the phone and install a custom recovery in stock recovery mode? Or is there any other way to make the /data partition accessible again?
Hi,
Yesterday i was trying to switch from lineage os to the last version of resurrection remix, so I downloaded the file on RR's website, and did a nandroid back up on my OPO (i'm rooted with TWRP installed) including system, data and boot partitions.
I did a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik cache and data), then I flashed the RR's zip file, gapps, and restored only the data partition. When I boot on RR there's a black screen showing an error message "System UI has stopped working" and another "com.android.phone has stopped". So I just long pressed my power button, restart -> recovery, and restored the boot partition from my nandroid back up. Then when I try to boot I'm stucked in a bootloop and I can't go back to recovery since my volume buttons are broken (broke the flex cable when repairing my screen).
Now I think there are 2 solutions, either changing volume buttons (which means desoldering and soldering :/ ) or there is a solution with adb.
If you have any solutions, thank you in advance !
Had the same issue with the same processes and I just had to factory reset from recovery to fix it. Now the real issue are the volume buttons now, because if you didn't enable adb and gave permissions to your PC you can't use it.
Ok so i managed to replace the volume flex cable, but now i have another problem : after i failed to flash RR, i did a factory reset and tried to restore a nandroid back up (that i made just before i repaired the volume butttons) and now the phone won't boot and keeps booting on twrp... That is REALLY frustrating, please help !

Try dirty flashing the ROM zip, data won't be touched and boot/system will be re-flashed. Hope it works.
I can flash roms : i flashed lineage os, tugapower... etc
For example yesterday, i pushed the latest lineage os zip file (via adb push) and flashed it. TWRP says installation is sucessful then when I reboot, its still TWRP... I went on several forums, and flashed a stock oneplus recovery. Now my phone is stuck on a bootloop with oneplus logo only, and I can't access the recovery or fastboot mode even pressing the volume keys I'm afraid I have to buy another phone...
Also i noticed that when i try to reboot with the phone being connected to the computer via USB, the phone just shuts down and i have to disconnect and reconnect the battery ribbon inside the phone so it can reboot
Up !
Hello all,
First time posting, long time lurker. Everybody here at XDA has been exceptionally helpful with every Android device I've owned. Whether I've had technical issues, or just wanted to try out some new ROM's or apps. I just wanted to take a second to thank you all before I got started with this post.
I've been pulling my hair out over this Nexus 5. It is my wife's phone that she never rooted, unlocked, or anything outside of generic user space.
I looked all over XDA and the web looking for solutions to this issue, but have been unsuccessful. Below is an overview of what's going on with my device.
___________________________________________
1: Nexus 5 repeatedly bootloops at initial Google logo
2: Bootloader locked - I can unlock it with fastboot oem unlock but it is reverted to locked at each restart.
3: Recovery mode bootloops every time cache is touched - Every time I attempt to sideload images or wipe cache recovery bootloops. This makes it impossible to flash factory images in recovery.
4: Problem seems to be with the cache - In fastboot I can wipe userdata, but when it gets to wiping cache I get an error.
5: Yes I have tried re imaging with factory images, flashing TWRP (doesn't take, ADB wasn't set to on before this happened and I think the bootloader unlock isn't really working, but Im not sure,) flashing stock cache, flashing stock bootloader etc.
Any idea's guys? This is my last attempt to fix before I just take the Nexus apart so I don't waste anymore time on it. I would be happy if I could get any functionality whatsoever.
Thanks so much,
Nathan
:Update:
I was able to boot into TWRP with fastboot boot recovery twrp.img.
Trying my luck here, it seems to have been able to wipe the cache, but not mount /data.
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
Sorry if this will be considered spam, but I needed to repost here instead.
I loaded the recovery mode and attempted to load TWRP without knowing how to activate Fastboot. Unfortunately, I had wiped the cache partition and rebooted the phone.
It resulted in kicking itself into recovery after a failed boot-up into android, as string of E: can't mount /cache showed. I tried to wipe data/facctory reset and try again but I'm stuck.
If anyone has a possible solution/suggestion, I'm open to do it.
i know its too late to answer your question, but i will answer for anyone who comes here next...
First: you have rebooted your phone before it finish the wipe data order, this caused your problem.
Second: just make another wipe data/cache... but wait for about 30-50 Minutes till its done ... yeah it takes that long
