did a factory reset, when I rebooted, the phone is stuck on the white htc screen, I am able to reboot into cwm, but everything on my phone and sd card have been wiped, my backups are gone. I tried adb, but my phone is not recognized. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How long did you wait? The factory reset can take anywhere up to 5 minutes. When I factory reset my S4 and M8, it took a few minutes. Naturally, I panicked, but just wait it out and it should boot hopefully. :good:

I'm having the same issue, how are you booting into CWM?
Edit: I had to do a hard reboot using volume up and power buttons then once the screen turned black quickly press the power and volume down button.
Ive got the same issue but im stuck in twrp recovery, says i have no os installed and everything on my internal memory was wiped. I downloaded a rom onto an sd card but it failed to install. Now what?
Edit: I managed to get a Rom installed. I've been flashing stuff for years but whatever happened this time has me stumped. Completely wiped my phone and os. I believe it was something to do with flashing a themed version of twrp, that was the last thing I did before getting stuck.

So out of nowhere my Incredible started rebooting on a loop. I have the MIUI installed on it and has always worked fine, but now it won't boot.
I plugged the phone into my comp and it won't show up in "my computer" either.
What do you advise I do?
I went to bootloader and tried factory reset on the phone and that won't work either...just keeps looping the boot screen.
anyone know?
So you can still get to the factory reset? After doing this, does it remain in the recovery screen long enough to reflash? Try using your old NANDroid backup and reflashing. Hopefully this will work.
My friend has a Captivate. He lost all his google apps, android market, gmail, etc. He flashed gapps.zip from his recovery and now his phone is not working right. When he flashed a new rom to his phone, and it brought up the welcome screen it shows it for about 2 seconds and then reboots. He is also almost unable to access the recovery becuase of this, but even when he finally was able to access it and wipe everything, dalvik, cache, data/system, it still has issues. Nothing is fixing the issues from the gapps.zip. He was wondering if there is a way to wipe his entire phone from a update.zip file. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Please note that even when he wipes everything in recovery and flashes a new ROM, it still reboot on the welcome screen and he is unable to resolve this issue.
Ok, so he has now wiped all cache and system files, now instead of showing teh galaxy S logo with the cyanogen logo underneath, it shows just the AT&T screen, but it will not go any furhter, it just sits there. He says that because he is now unable toget into android he cannot access the recovery and the volume up/down is not responding. Is his phone Bricked?
Have you used Odin 1-click to revert back to stock?
had my friend use the Odin 1 click and he said it still did not work. He cannot get the volume up/down trick to work, when before all this it worked just fine. I am going to guess that the only thing he could try is the jig method. He swaers that Odin3 is not doing anything
I was charging my phone overnight. In the morning I realized it didn't charge, I tried to turn it on and it gets stuck on the HTC screen.
I was running Viper One 3.21, I tried rebooting, entered recovery, tried to reinstal a nandroid, got stuck on the screen again.
Tried reinstalling ViperOne same problem.
Here's what I know:
Fastboot will NOT work, while I can get to fastboot, any time I reboot the phone it gets stuck.
I can't get to RUU (because it wont go past the HTC screen).
adb sideload will not work
I've let the battery drain, fully charged it; no change.
I tried wiping and doing a factory reset but it just gets stuck on the reboot, I also noticed on the File manager within TWRP that my phone was never wiped.
Any ideas?

Sorta sounds like one of the bricked ones where the entire emmc goes write protected. If you can't get fastboot or ruu mode and have no warranty left I can take a look at it for you. I'm in PA so it wouldn't take long to mail it here.
Not sure how it got bricked, it has been over a month since I flashed anything.
I am able to use adb sideload, but any file I use it says is corrupted.
Could I partition part of the drive and try to instal from there?
What part of PA are you in?

I am down in the York/Harrisburg/Lancaster area. You don't want to partition emmc manually.
My phone has 128GB internal memory, I've just flashed new firmware on it as I couldn't update my software.
Now my internal memory is only 16GB instead of the 128GB, is there anyway to fix this?
Tried flashing the stock ROM again, now I'm just getting the black screen with the white Samsung logo at the start.
Managed to fix it, this thread can be deleted now.
hey man, i have the same problem. I have the 32gb version and after flashing android 7.0 with odin it only recognize 16gb. How have you fixed it? thanks!

I remained persistent, I put it in recovery mode, wiped the cache and did a factory restore and reflashed android 7.0 and it worked after that, if it looks like the phone won't boot and it's stuck on the Samsung screen, leave it for a bit as it may start, I was impatient at first and thought it wouldn't boot and kept messing with it unnecessarily.

Recovery mode, Vol up + Home + Power keys. Vol keys to move up/down and power key to select.
Thanks! I finally tried making a factory reset and a partition wipe in the recovery mode and it just restart fine with all memory being recognized

plz tell how you did it ?
So everything went smoothly after the update but I couldnt get it to factory reset. Kept saying unable to mount. So I tried the repair option on TWRP and that wiped the OS. Now I can't get into recovery only the fastboot function. What can I do?
fastboot boot twrp.img on your PC?
Maybe you are using the wrong one, the inoffical twrp comes in Android P and Q flavour
I have also had the issue where neither started, after shutting down and waiting for a while it worked again
I had same problem totally black dead screen, nothing happens for couple of minutes, I tried all key combinations and it didn't respond. Somehow after a while (like 5 min. ) I tried vol up+down+power button, it took me to fastboot screen. Then I flashed everything back in, downside Lost All data even internal storage.
