Hi guys
Im having a very weird issue with my galaxy trend, i want to do a factory reset because the device keeps restarting, it boots normallly but it restarts every time after 2 minutes. So i boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/ factory reset (the device is on stock recovery and firmware) as usual and it completes without any errors but when it boots nothing is erased, even the screen lock pattern, wallpaper, apps, everything is there. If i repeat the process i get the same results every time, by the way, i cant factory reset from the backup and reset option on andoid, it gets stuck on the erase everything button and pressing it does nothing.
Do anyone know why this could be happening?
Im downloading the stock firmware and flashing it through odin to see if that works, any help would be very much appreciated

I'll try posting there, anyway i don't have any hope left in the device, tried flashing stock rom via odin and it still doesn't do anything.
Doing some research on google it seems to be a hardware problem on the flash memory and only solution is replacing the mainboard
What i don't understand is why it doesn't give me any error when doing the factory reset when in reality the phone has not deleted anithing. I got a similar issue with a galaxy s4 that refused to write anything to it pretty much exactly as this device and gave up on it.

Hello,
to all of you.
I need urgent help, actually, some days ago, my Galaxy tab 7.7 has stuck in a bootloop, the respected user UpInTheAir has helped me a lot by providing a needy guidance to me, actually, I didnt want to factory reset the tab because the data stored on the tab was very important, you can read more about this case here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530591, I tried very very hard to load custom recovery to the tab, so that I can take backup of the data, but all was vain, I even downloaded the official firmware and tried to flash the tab through desktop odin, and got successful messages of pass etc.but when the tab restarts they show the same symptom of bootlooping and all my data is still available on the tab, although I can start my tab in the safe mode, but that is also for 5 to 7 minutes after that it restarts automatically, during this time I can also connect my tab to computer and it shows there, so today I decided to reset the tab to get rid of this problem, I boot into the stock recovery and there choose the option wipe data/factory reset, it was successfully implemented but when I reboot my tab, it shows the same symptom of bootlooping as well as all my data is still present, same starting, same password, then I restart my tab in safe mode and choose the factory reset option from there, it restarts my tab into the stock recovery, there I again choose the option of wipe data/factory reset, but same happens, I dont know what happened to my tab, I think this is some kind of bug, because everything goes well just after restart the tab, everything comes out same as nothing happens.Please respected members, respected developers help me, I really need this.Suggest some way to me, so that I can get out of this problem.Hope to see reply soon.Thank You.

Hello,
to all of you.
I posted this thread in the hope to getting some help from some respected member, but after so many views, I think no one is willing to help, anyways, it seems the experienced developers and most respected members are busy in making their custom roms better, anyways, I hope some "NOOB" from some part of the world will help to solve my problem and able me so that I can install the custom rom from some "Experienced Developer".Thank You.

I don't think u can do anything about ur data. Too bad u'll be losing it.
Android 4.1.2 has already come out for our tablet. U can download either the Singapore, Malaysian or Indonesian version.
Flash the latest firmware via Odin.
Then go to stock recovery and clear cache and clear all data.
That'll give u a clean install. At least ur tablet will no longer bootloop. That's the only way that I can think of.
After that u can flash either a cwm or twrp recovery.
Remember to always keep a n android backup somewhere...
Buy a valid copy of titanium back up.
By the way, if u still have a cwm recovery installed, go to advanced and try clearing dalvik cache too.

I bought a used HTC Inspire 4g/DHD and it had already been flashed with "Jellytime." Thats all I really know. I know the basics of flashing and such. But here is the problem. Everything seemed in order, so i gave the phone to a friend to use, and then it started having a ton of issues. Video would go all wonky in landscape mode, phone would lock up, become unresponsive etc. So i attempted a factory restore via the boot menu and clockworkmod. Everything seemed to be going all good, then suddenly it gave me 2 errors saying it could not find and could not mount recovery files.
I thought, okay, weird, and let the phone finish doing what it is doing and restarted. It took probably 5-6 minutes after the restart and i finally got to the first screen to setup android (select language) and got a slew of pop up error messages saying XXX app has crashed or is not responding or that files were missing. and would not let me progress past that first screen. Now the phone will not even boot past the "jellytime" logo. (HTC logo flashes first, then jellytime animation and just stays there).
So i am at a loss as to what to do next because i cant get into android to enable USB debugging to use whatever process to reflash a suitable ROM. My friend really needs a phone back so a prompt response would be appreciated.

Maybe you have to re-flash the whole ROM. Startig freshly (with a factory reset / wipe data) is recommended.
And don't give the device to this friend again
If you have further questions, please ask in the Inspire 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !

I posted over in the other forum. But my issue is that I cannot do the factory restore and data wipe. It will not complete. It give me a missing recovery file error. And it can't mount the missing recovery files. It is why I am so stuck.

As I can see, you have already posted your question in the Q&A forum ([Q] soft bricked or screwed?).
So now you have to be patient and wait for someone to answer there.
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
Hi. I successfully flashed blisspop rom to my SM-T700 tablet after flashing the stock rooted os. It pretty much worked perfectly. The problem here is that I never reset my dalvik cache and I'm not sure if blisspop does automatically for me or not, so I'm suspecting this is the problem. Anyway, I decided to reset to factory defaults to get space back on my internal sd card. I reset, and my tablet starts to boot into TWRP recovery, but I then experienced what people are always talking about-- bootloop. Now, I was going to reboot into recovery again, maybe it was a one-time glitch. But of course, my recovery goes away EVERY TIME I REBOOT, so now I'm stuck with the default recovery, which gets me nowhere. I try to do a normal boot, and surprise! IT DOESN'T START. So I get android studio and try to see if I can connect with my tablet through the built in adb console. I can't because apparently I need to accept the computer or something, but I can't, because the darn thing won't start up!! So there's my problem. I've tried adb, flashing stock rom, even attempting to corrupt it by pulling the battery when its starting so I can somehow reset it. No luck. Please help!
Hi, boot into download mode and flash the stock firmware. See your previous post here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/smt700-issues-os-t3079490 Also, see this is if you have further questions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s This is your device's forum and is the place you should be asking for help. They are the experts on your device. XDA Assist is not a help desk, our job is to point you in the right direction to get 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.
Hello, i recently attempted a root through my s7 edge, worked at first, deleted some factory apps through titanium and after a reboot my phone is stuck on the AT&T logo, ive tried factory resets, cleared caches, and multiple stock flashes to try and salvage my phone... when i flash with odin there is always a model mismatch error... when i tried and factory reset there is a dm-verity verification notification, if someone could point me in the right direction i would be very thankful, this is my 3rd day without a device and im starting to panic.
