[URGENT] Every reboot results in a factory reset

So today my droid started messing up, home and recents button didnt work. Google play store and whatnot couldnt access data, the signal status bar at the top was just grey.
So i factory reset it. During the reset it just sat there on the little screen with the spinning hexball thing for like an hour so i shut the phone off. Now every time the phone boots it just tries to wipe it again unless i go into the boot menu and hit normal boot.
Running stock rom and whatnot, but im rooted.
I know that theres a flag somewhere that it reads on boot saying to wipe it, but dang if i know what to change.
Thanks in advance

Well i unrooted my phone and tried to let it redo the factory reset again, and it still just wont do anything.

When this happens to me, it's because of a bad flash and a factory reset won't fix it. I would suggest reflashing stock...

I dont have a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader.
I managed to get the problem sorted out through some unrooting and some non stock system file deletion. Installed safestrap and got blurry hd running on it now.
Thanks.

[Q] Factory Reset cannot performed after root is removed

Before I do factory reset, I removed the root under SuperSU settings.
But unfortunately, when I try to do factory reset, my phone rebooted twice and starts normally.
THE ROOT GET BACK AGAIN AND FACTORY RESET DOES NOT DONE!
It seems recovery mode has some problem, don't know what problem is it.
Is any way to fix it? MY PHONE IS ZENFONE 5 (T00J)

Sounds like your device comes prerooted and if that's the case you can't remove it with a factory reset. This is common among Chinese devices.

My device is not prerooted. Before I rooting it, my device still can do factory reset. But after I rooted I can't do it anymore.
It seems like the recovery mode is dead or whatever, do you know how to fix it?

Dont worry all you need to do is to flash the frimware for your device using CWM/TWRP.
You can find your frimware from this site.

I am stuck on verizon screen after doing nothing

It seems my phone started saying that random general apps were crashing and then i tried to reboot thinking this would solve the problem now my phone wont boot past the verizon screen. Am i really going to have to flash stock to repair this? or is there another way?

Nevermind I wiped and reset to factory then rebooted to safe mode and now it works, but I've lost root and all my files/apps.

SM-G930V Unauthorized Actions after Root?

Hello,
I recently rooted my SM-G930V for the first time. However, after doing so, I started to get these Unauthorized Actions messages every few minutes. I tried to turn it off by uninstalling SecurityLogAgent but that only made the problem worse as it began to warn me every few minutes that SecurityLogAgent had "failed to run". I got frustrated and went to recovery mode and reformatted and got rid of root. It's no longer rooted but those damn Unathorized Actions messages won't go away! I'm noticing now that my text messages can fail to send as well. At this point I'd like to go back to stock as if I had just bought the phone new. But when I try to use Odin with a stock image I found from Boycracked. Odin keeps failing at auth. What can I do to revert my phone back to normal? Any help would be appreciated. I was in way over my head.
Thanks!

Factory reset from recovery should fix it
You can get stock ROMs from here

Factory reset did not work. The warning continues. =\

The stock rom you linked me to worked! Thank you so much!!

Sorry to bother! My battery drainage is suddenly very bad. Is this from all the flashing with Odin? I don't think I'm fully reset.

ODIN doesn't reset, backup, then factory reset from recovery and see if that helps

Grayed out factory reset

Hi all!
I have a friend who has an A8 2018. It was sold to him by some guy. And unfortunately he did not check everything. When he got home and about factory reset, he noticed that the factory reset is grayed out.
He tried to enter recovery but it just booted to start the device.
Hope someone can help.

you can either factory reset via stock recovery or flash the stock firmware via Odin then factory reset in stock recovery if the first option doesnt work
