all changes not being applied on restart - General Questions and Answers

My phone (xiaomi mi3) is currently having issues booting, and I have tried flashing using twrp, cwm, fastboot, and no changes are being saved upon restart.
i.e. when i try factory reset, recovery completes the action, then attempts to restart and the phone boots the same as pre-factory reset.
The same occurs for all actions, installing new rom, fastbooting new rom, installing new recovery, even deleting a single file.. the file reappears upon restart.
anyone experienced this before? or have any further ideas?? massive appreciation for all help! Let me know if you need any further details and I will be happy to provide..

hi there is anyone able to help with this please?

no ideas?

I am willing to paypal $25 to anyone that can help me solve this issue

Bootloop - Can access Recovery

Hey everyone,
So earlier this evening I attempted to flash a new ROM to my Transformer. Unfortunately, something went wonky during the Factory Reset and it froze for about an hour. Not knowing what else to do, I ended up resetting the tablet and booting back into Recovery.
Long story short, I currently have TWRP v2.6.3.2 installed and accessible. Unfortunately I am unable to boot into any ROM I flash. I am able to go through the setup process just fine (have tried CROMi-X 5.4 and CROMi-X 5.2.3), but once the tablet restarts after installing, I am stuck at a boot loop on the ASUS splash screen. Did I inadvertently delete some system files that aren't replaced with a new ROM?
I'm out of ideas at this point and am hoping someone out there can help guide me in the right direction. My current plan is to try reverting to the stock Android provided by ASUS on their website (4.2.1). I really appreciate any advice/help anyone can provide, and thank you in advance!
If you want to know what the problem is, get a logcat. If you just want to fix it, do another Factory Reset. If that doesn't work, run "Format Data" in TWRP (this may take 1-2 hours). Note that this will delete all your user data on the tablet.

Thank you so so much for your help _that. I had no luck after doing another Factory Reset, but a second run through TWRP's "Format Data" worked like a charm. Kudos to XDA for being the savior of my sanity!

[Completed] [Q] SM-T700 (klimtwifi) bootloop, bricked?

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.

Adb/shell/bootloader filesystem changes not saving on restart. Xiaomi Mi3 softbricked

Hi there, I have a Xiaomi Mi3
My phone is currently softbricked, it was running a Custom Rom (Ivan's latest Marshmellow 6.3.29).
I have attempted to fix the issues via recovery factory reset, fastboot flashing, recovery flashing etc but all changes seem to be overridden upon restart. e.g, even if all i do is delete or rename a file, the file reappears upon restart.
let me know what additional logs, partition info, error reports etc will be helpful and I will make sure I post them ASAP.
Thank you very much, any help is greatly appreciated

Phone soft bricks when I enter recovery mode...

First off, I am new to the forums, and really hope I am posting this in the right place.
Anyway, do my problem is, that I was trying to install the xposed app, and I have to install my zip file in my recovery mode, however, even if I enter the recover mode, then reboot without doing anything, or if I do anything, when I reboot, when the phone is on, every app I have installed, starts not responding, and my screen is just black. I would really like to know if anyone else has this issue, as I was having troubles finding others with this issue. Thank you guys for all the help. I have also dome multiple factory resets, and have gone back to the recovery directly after a reset, and it still caused everything to crash. Have cleared cache. Any other help is greatly appreciated, thanks :good:
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Maybe post some details? Like model number, BL/CP version, Recovery version, ROM etc.

[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.
