Why is my Samsung p5100 stuck in a reboot and crash loop?
I am using Mokee 44.2 p5100 2014/03/09 and at the beginning all was well now, since about the last week it just will not stay on. Every time it restarts it downloads app updates, and forgets that I've installed / uninstalled certain apps. they all just reappear. Then during these updates the tablet crashes, then reboots and downloads app updates, crashes, reboots etc... etc...
I have tried to flash this Mokee and Omni ROM from Phils touch wizz, I'm wiping all data and factory reset, wiping dalvic and formating /system, /data and /boot. Then install from the zip file. This reports that the ROM is now installed use and enjoy. Upon rebooting the tablet, straight back into Mokee 44.2 2014/03/09 and the above mentioned reboot, crash loop resumes.
I have tried to re install the Samsung stock ROM from ODIN 3.04 and this get to the FACTORYFS section and fails!
So, the question is an i now stuck with a useless tablet?
I have also now discovered that I am unable to update the Philz or CWM recovery. Although Odin says again that the upload has been successful.

I have a Nexus S 4g with ICS. Phone was rooted last year. Ran stock ICS for the past month (Sprint OTA update). Last week it rebooted when downloading an app. After the reboot all of my apps were "closing unexpectedly", not force closing. After about 10 minutes it tried to reboot and got stuck on the boot animation.
-Tried doing factory wipe/reset through the OS, TWRP, CWM and Fastboot. When it reboots, nothing has been wiped.
-Flashed Stock ICS and Gingerbread images. ICS will start and get the app close cascade, then get stuck on the splashscreen. Gingerbread hangs on the google screen/does not boot.
-Cannot write to sdcard but can copy everything off the phone to my PC. Toggling USB Debugging does not help.
Flashed stock rom using odin. It said that everything was successful but it booted up to the same problem.

I am out of ideas. I tried using Odin but could not find the PIT file for my phone.

if u have installed stock rom go to recovery and do a factory reset and clear cache
clear caches
I have done factory reset from the ICS UI, stock recovery (ICS and GB), CWM, and TWRP. I've cleared the regular cache, Dalvik cache, sdcard and everything that is clearable or wipeable in in CWM, TWRP, stock recovery. I've cleared the cache in fastboot and did "fastboot -w" (don't know exactly what that wipes) with no effect. I even had Windows try to format the phone. I have done any and all combinations at least three to four times apiece.
So I tried to install Android Revolution HD 9.0 today, and after installation, I got stuck in a boot loop. Then I tried factory resets and cache partion wipes and multiple reinstalls and now it automatically boots into recovery.
Prior, I had a stock ROM, but it was rooted, but I was plagued with issuse such as random reboots and half the time on reboot, it would be stuck in a boot loop.
Can anyone help me out here?
I'm still fairly new to android modding beyond following instructions for installing CWM/Custom ROMs, so take that into consideration.
Factory reset or wipe phone in CWM and flash a new stock rom via Odin .

Done and done. Thanks for the help!
My tablet is p3113, and has dualbooting. (rooted in both roms). I was using the first rom, and used custom locale to change my location, but i accidently pressed antartica, then a bunch of errors showed up (like "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped working" "Unfortunately, System Preferences has stopped working" and "Unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped working" (there were tons more)). Then, my tablet froze, so i forced it to shut down. I rebooted my tablet and tried to boot into the first rom, but it stuck in the samsung logo( the logo showes up, and disappears, and showes up... keeps doing that over and over again), and my second rom works perfectly. How do I fix my first rom( I really don't want to factory reset).
Things I have done:
1. reboot
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. format /cache
only one way flash latest stock rom and second rom once again
Most ROMs will allow you to dirty flash. Just flash that ROM over and all should be fine and you will lose nothing.
Calvin cache and cache won't solve your problem nor reflashing
U gotta wipe data and the other thing

i think you have to into the download mode and use odin to flash a stock firmware
Hi,
I installed CM 10.2 on my A510 to try it out, did a full wipe, and got stuck in a boot loop. Wiped again and reinstalled but had the same issue. I have tried again with CM 10.1.3 and the AOKP roms but have the same issue, full wipe before each install. Right now I cannot get past the boot screen where the tablet restarts and tries again and again and again etc....
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
When you say Full Wipe, it means Factory reset ?
Did you try to restore a Backup with CWM or TWRP ?
Yes factory reset. I tried restoring with CWM but each of my backups fail to restore either failing to restore /data or /system.

Did you try to copy your zip file both on internal and external sd card ?
checked MD5sum ?
Did you try to flash a stock ROM from Acer ?

Yes to all the above. Did the stock ROM one hour ago and doesn't boot loop buts just sticks at the iconia tab logo. Also when I try to get recovery now I just get a dead Android picture.
Edit: Using Stock ROM I get a message that Android is upgrading Optimizing aa 1 of 46, 2 of 46, 3 of 46 and it then retorns to the iconia tab logo and stays there
I finally got the tablet working again by installing the original ROM using fastboot for each of system, flexrom, boot and recovery. I then installed 10.2 which works OK apart from the fact that when using Titanium to restore my apps the tablet reboots randomly. So far I've only managed to restore 10% of my apps.
EDIT: Constant reboots now regardless of what I'm doing, downloading, installing etc. Going to try another ROM, 10.1 or AOKP. On 10.1 now, restoring apps from Google works for a while but after a certain stage random reboots starts again.
Lastest, back in endless boot loop. Tried restoring by fastboot but flexrom restore fails every time.
I have a similar problem on my A700... Installed 10.2 and then suddenly did not boot anymore. Tried to flash the nighly before the newest one but id did not change. Then i made a backup in CWM and formatted DATA. Now i boots but if i restore the backup, it won't boot. I can find my files in a 0\0\0\0\0 Folder or something like that. So nothing is lost, but it's not in the running system.
How to restore these files and apps?
After at least 25 wipes and flashing various roms 10.1 10.2 and AOKP I think my tablet is reasonably stable now. I formatted - /data /system /flexrom internal storage, everything except the external sd a few times then installed and have only had one random reboot since 2am. Instead of restoring from titanium or direct from Google I reinstalled all my apps individually and the restored my data from titanium. Hopefully this will be the end of this.

My bootloader is unlocked.
Using FlashTool 0.9.18.6, I flashed "Sony Xperia L C2105 15.3.A.1.17 Generic DE" - FTF, which I downloaded from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
Downloaded CM11 from FreeXperia's thread, from that I extracted boot.img and using FlashTool flashed it.
Downloaded CM12.1 from Oliver's thread and moved it into my external sdcard. Using CWM, did a clean wipe (dalvik, cache, data and system), and flashed the zip.
ROM installed and was working fine.
Downloaded CM13 from Oliver's thread and moved it into my external sdcard.
Enabled USB debugging.
Downloaded TWRP 3.0.2-0, from:
https://dl.twrp.me/taoshan/twrp-3.0.2-0-taoshan.img.html
Rebooted into bootloader using adb. And flashed TWRP, using fastboot:
"fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
Rebooted into recovery. The interface was flickering non-stop and the left part was overlapping over the right part and vice-versa, but I managed to factory reset and wipe my dalvik, cache, data, system, sdcard and android secure.
Then I flashed CM13 from my external sdcard.
No errors.
Wiped dalvik, cache and my external sdcard.
Rebooted.
Bootloop.
Rebooted into CM Recovery.
Factory Reset and wiped cache.
Rebooted.
Bootloop.
I have also tested 7.x.x (CM14 and Resurrection Remix) and it also gets me in a bootloop until the battery reaches 0%.
The problem started with Beta 2 of CM13 (anything before it works fine), after I flashed it almost a year ago. I also made a post there at that time about my problem:
"I'm not certain if this is the right thread to ask, and I don't think this qualifies as a bug report, I'm just asking for some help as my phone is stuck on the boot logo forever until the battery runs out (from 90-100% to 0%).
I've previously used CM11, CM12.1 and the previous beta 1 of CM13, but after flashing beta 2 a couple days ago it's just stuck on trying to boot.
The recovery I'm using is TWRP 3.0.2. I wiped my phone completely(the system, sdcard, cache etc). After that I connected my phone to my PC, while on recovery, and copied the ROM zip and GAPPS zip to my external sdcard. I disconnected my phone from the PC. Flashed the ROM and after that GAPPS (Open GApps Platform: ARM / 6.0 / pico). The logs didn't show any error so I wiped the dalvik cache and rebooted the phone. The phone went into the boot logo and now is just stuck there, I waited ~5 hours and it still didn't fully boot after an hour or so the battery ran out. So I decided to do everything again, charging the phone to 100%, wiping the phone completely 10 times(for reasons) and flashing everything the same way(I also downloaded the ROM from a different mirror, and tested both zips for any errors), this time I left it overnight, keeping the charger connected and in the morning it was still stuck on the boot logo. The third time I tried a different GAPPS package(A-GAPPS) and the same result. Can anyone provide some help? Maybe I'm just missing something or being really stupid. I'm sorry for being such a bother."

I made this thread in hope of finding out what's causing this. Any help is appreciated.
It's been almost a year and I still have this problem with newer ROMs. Does nobody have any suggestions, anything at all? Is more information required? I'd be happy to give/do anything*, if it would mean getting these ROMs working.
The only error I've noticed is that after flashing LineageOS 14.1, if I try a fully factory reset through the default "Android Recovery" it will fail and I'll get "E: format_volume: failed to open /persist/footer" (This doesn't happen if I do a factory reset through TWRP).
