[Q] Unbrick

Hello, i am android newbie, but i use my 5801 for a few months. But with help of this forum i make from my stock phone pretty good machine for me. Everything was perfect, i instal cwm,root, kernel g3 2.4 oc,setcpu, bassbeats,... A still no problems. But two days back i tried to instal BLN via SGS kernel flasher within android. During flashing kernel it was o.k. but at the end phone freeze a take did not reboot. Just screen stay for 10 min same. So i decided to hold power button and turn off phone. After that all the user apps were gone. So i decided to recovery via cwm from backup. after that phone started , still no user apps, only system apps and no possibility to install anything cause task manager in phone showed 0kb data , like rom was not mounted or i dont know... I started panic and wipe everything boot, cache, sd,data ... just all. And reflash kernel 2.4 back to stock
After done that it was totally in ....hole. Phone could boot to recovery but, could not start android. Just logo "samsung" is still on the screen. I tried to instal firmware( samsung 5800 xwjpi with files sbl.bin and boot.bin through odin but still same...Only boot animation is changed now...And still is just shining "samsung" logo. Is there any chance to repare that? I think i should install bootloader but i am not sure how. Or is it automatically doing by flashing rom? Pls help if u can. Many thanks.

Try flashing cm 7
hey..... dont forget to thank me!!!!!!!!

So, it looks problem is solved. I tried to flash froyo kyrillos rom 9.7 and phone finally works. Now I only need to solve problems with freezing, after flashing it happens two times during one hour Updating to 9.7.1. actually not possible cause download servers down...Maybe tommorrow. And why did you say i should install just CM 7 ?

I think it's kernel related problem. Try to flash CM7 or Kyrillos 10 or use PuruKisadHybrid

It is possible that was only temporary problem as looks , freezing has never repeat again . But after your advices i tried flash cm7 i now use cm7 kyrillos 10.6. Just testing , only well known gaming issues yet. But now i know flashing is so easy :victory:

i cant factory reset, the device told me wipe cache, formatting data, formatting cache - nothing happens.. no android logo, no loadingtask - then it drops me back to android recovery.
i unlocked and flashed to Android M 6.0.0 and the loading animation changed to the new one. I let him boot with 100% batterylife to zero life in the morning and nothing happend.
then i install TWRP recovery to wipe my phone - message "e: unable to mount /persisit" but he shows me a successful wipe msg after the process. I flashed Andorid M 6.0.0 again but it same problem.
I try it with the *.bat and a clean flash nothing works.
please help me!

[SOLVED] Constant reboot, need urgent help!

Hey guys,
I have encountered a serious problem on my device. Today I rebooted my phone once and it has just stuck on the samsung logo. Then the phone began to reboot without ending....It could not just start. With the help of TWRP I have made a full wipe and tried to reinstall my actual firmware Superman 1.10.5, but I always stuck at 25%, the phone did not respond to any actions. I even tried to flash the stock 4-file firmware with Odin, but it did not help, the phone constantly reboots. Sometimes it manages to boot to the stage where the sign "installation of applications" appears, but a while later it stucks again and reboots. Please, help me to solve the issue, because I am begininng to think that it would be unpossible to recover the phone. I am only able to enter the download mode or recovery, anything else does not work.
Thanks....

Really sad to hear that story mate. First things first, I assume your BL version is matching with the firmware your flashing right. And when you go to TWRP, can you see /system and /data partition from the mount menu? If not, you have to perform a factory reset. I had issue like that with my Galaxy S7 and usually factory reset(not wiping) helped me with that situation. Since your system can boot up, but crashes after awhile, I do suspect that some of your partition might be corrupted(at least its what happened to me). So trying factory reset can be a good bet for you.
And... I think you have to provide more information with which variant you are using, and your BL version, TWRP version too, solve the problem quicker. Hope this information helps.

Yep, you are right, BL versions always matched firmwares. I tried to wipe the phone with TWRP 3.0.2.3 and also to make a factory reset with the stock recovery. The stock firmware, which I tried to flash, was G930FXXU1BPH6_G930FOXE1BPH1_SER consisting of 4 files including BL,AP,CP and CSC. After 3rd or 4th flash of the same stock firmware the phone suddenly became alive and began to boot. Wu-huuu:silly: I was happy as a child. After having successfully launched the stock rom I have again flashed TWRP 3.0.2.3, went to "wipe" option and formatted data. Then I have installed a Superman Rom 1.12 and everything went the right way. I don't understand only one thing: why after having wiped the phone several times and having reseted it through the stock as well as TWRP recovery it didn't want to boot.
As you said, I suppose that the one of partitions was corrupted. Oh damn, I thought that I won't be able to resuscitate this phone.
I have flashed about 20 phones during my life, but I have never ever encountered such serious problems.

get a custom rom, put it on your sd card. let it boot to recovery.
wipe date factory reset, and wipe cache and delvik cache, wipe system.
flashe the custom rom zip you put on the sd card
reboot, profitt
so you dont have probems, AFTER FLASHING ROM AND SETTING UP, GO BACK TO recovery and make a back up

Creating Backup on XT1033 stuck on Bootloop

Hi everyone,
I hope I am in the right forum to post my query. I am trying to find a solution to the existing Problem. Before I get to describe the problem specifically I must make it clear that this is my first time on any android forum. While trying to find a solution for the existing problem, I had to google words like Bootloop, Softbrick, TWRP, Custom Recovery, Root, Flash, ROM etc. They still do not make much sense to me (I will be reading more about them in the coming days). So now you can imagine how big of a Noob I am.
Well, I own a Moto G 1st Gen XT1033. Since yesterday it is in a Bootloop. The phone boots completely at times but automatically restarts itself after a while. Sometimes I have 1-2 minutes at maximum to use the phone. Until now I have been able to delete quite a bit of data for example pictures and certain apps because I thought that Bootloop was happening because of no space on the memory. The last app that I installed 3 days back from Google Play after which this problem started occurring, I was also able to uninstall it. Until now I have tried wiping out Cache by going in the recovery mode but that didnt fix the Reboot problem. I also tried holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button for 2 minutes (I read it on internet somewhere as a fix to the problem) but that didnt help either. I have never created a backup and I don't want to do a Factory Reset as a fix to the problem because I don't want to lose the data. I also tried to follow your solution for backing up data but I got lost. I don't know where to start from. Thats why I am writing here.
I don't know if my phone is rooted. I did turn on Developer Mode on my phone in the past (if this info helps).
I do not know which Android version I have but I am guessing that it is Lollipop.
I never installed TWRP or any Custom Recovery software on my phone before.
The battery is working ok.
What I am looking for is:
1) Step by step guide to create a backup
2) Resolving Bootloop issue if possible
Thanks

without custom recovery no data backup is possible.
u need to unlock your bootloader and install The Twrp recovery to perform the backup.
but only fix for you is factory reset.

Thank you @jbanti Apologize for my late response. As far as I know unlocking the bootloader will erase the memory. One can recover data by ADB Pull by using these Threads:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
So I know that there it is possible using`adb pull` command to take backup of whole device but I don't know how. I get lost in the 2nd thread. Any lead would be appreciated
Thanks
