Okay, long story time. I had Android 4.0 on my phone which hadn't been connected the internet for 10 months. I updated to 4.4.0, then 4.4.4, then 5.0. Phone worked great, but my previously working root had been broken by the Android L update. I went and tried to fix it myself using tools I probably was not using properly and got stuck wiping the cache. I waited about 10 minutes then forced it to shut down. Got a boot loop on the reboot. ****. Rebooted to recovery, tried wiping cache again, nothing is mounting. **** **** ****. Go and flash stock 5.0 from google's site using fastboot. Boot loop again. ****. Try to wipe cache and dalvik agin. Unable to mount. **** **** ****. Tried tthis with like 3 versions of android stock roms from google with 3 different recoveries and nothing worked. No recovery can mount my cache or data or dalvik or anything.
Please help...
... wat?
forget that, it connected to my other phone through the ceiling...

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.
I have this in development but though it shoudl be here.
Please help
I had issues loading AOKP| Build 4
These issues were caused I think by me. Before reloading I wiped Cache and Dalvic Cache, I then did a Format/Factory reset. While on this it stayed on formatting cache for about 20 mins. Since it locked up on formatting cache I held the power and vol down to get back in to CWM. I tried to install zip from ext sd Build-4. When it started it gave me a 4-5 lines saying E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log and others relating to that. I proceeded anyway with loading build-4, sometime through the installation it rebooted itself. After that the unicorn would come up for a few secs then reboot, then keep doing it in a boot loop. I again went in to CWM and tried again with the cache, dalvic and factory reset, same thing happened where it got stuck at cache but it restarted by itself this time. I then downloaded the stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1722745. After loading stock from Odin I was able to get ride of the cache errors and cache lock up problems.
The issue now is reguardless of Build-4 or stock it is stuck at either the unicorn or the samsung logo. I have also tried CM10, so stuck at boot now on stock, CM10 and AOKP-Build-4 Any help would be GREAT. Thanks
Do a factory reset in the stock recovery.
You are my hero!!! Several days of doing all kinds of things and that was the one I would have never thought about. Yup and going. No problems now.

I am using 4..1.2 for now, because 4.3 boots up very, very, very slowly. I have an LGE P505 and it has CWM Recovery on it, and it works fine. When I flash 4.3 it boots up fine the first 3 times, but very slowly. Then, after the first 3 boots, it gets stuck in a boot loop. Clearing the cache, wiping the battery stats, the Dalvik cache, and doing a factory reset doesn't seem to help. Both the 4.1.2 and the 4.3 are Cyanogenmod.
Hey,
I've been running several Lollipop ROMs on my Nexus 5 in the past few months.
Today my Nova Launcher suddenly stopped working and froze instantly on restart, so I rebooted the phone.
It got stuck shortly before ending the boot, after several seconds of those colored dots whizzing around the screen they froze.
This issue was reproducible, so I first cleared the Cache and Dalvik Cache and rebooted, same problem. I then tried to Fix Permissions to no avail.
I then erased System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache and reflashed my current L-ROM of choice, OptiPop.
The device still doesn't boot, same problem.
Now TWRP is showing an error in red font whenever I try to wipe or flash.
The error I'm getting is:
Code:
unable to stat '/data/data/com.google.android.feedback/cache/com.android.opengl.shaders_cache'
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Try reflashing TWRP and then wiping. If it still doesn't work flash the factory images from fastboot using either the script or ( optimally ) by hand one by one.
Your filesystem might have gotten corrupted well enough for TWRP not to make heads or tails of it.
If that still doesn't work search the forum for how to format the needed partitions - and triple check what you are formatting.
I was running cm14.1 nightly build(7.1.1) on my yu yureka plus, when i came across the "android n data toggle fix" on xda. I flashed that zip and since then my phone gave erratic reboots. So I tried to restore to an nandroid backup took a week ago but no luck. So I tried to flash resurrection remix 5.6, which sent my phone into a bootloop, but it started up as i plugged the phone into my PC (weird). Then I tried to hard reset the devices numerous time, even removed the battery for 5 min but still no luck. Next I flashed the official stock rom (cm12.1) via fastboot. It loaded up pretty quickly, but when i reached the welcome screen, it sent the phone into a reboot and got stuck again in bootloop. I tried several roms but no luck. I even flashed official modem, appsboot, hyp etc partitions multiple time and even reflashed the recovery (even tried different versions, including stock). PLease Help

After flashing stock via fastboot, have you tried booting to recovery and factory resetting then wiping cache and Dalvik/ART cache? Try flashing the stock kernel if you're using stock ROM. If you're using a CM ROM then flash the CM stock kernel for your model.

ok so here's what happened
After I used fastboot image to flash the stock rom (i believe stock kernel is present in the rom too, since it has a boot.img), it took 10 minutes to boot upto the welcome page and then rebooted. I wiped cache and dalvik cache too and retried the process, but no luck

Thanks for your reply dude
Anyways, the problem is solved.
The problem was never with the device, rather it was the battery that was faulty. When I kept the device plugged in to PC, it worked for sometime and when I pulled the wire out, it shut itselft down. Same was the case when I tried to multitask when connected to PC. But when I connected it to wall charger, it allowed me to multitask . Hope to buy a replacement battery soon.
Once again, thank you for your reply
