[Q] HELP! can't boot into system after flashing.

Hi all,
I just flashed my i5800 from 2.1 to 2.2, but now I can't boot into system.
The ROM flashed is the stock JPN.
I flashed according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645. Everything worked smoothly and I can boot into the 2.2 system. And then I rooted according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872488, it worked too. After that I tried to install some applications. But the phone freezed when I was installing the last app. I rebooted it but it stopped at the shining samsung logo. Then I entered recovery mode and tried to wipe data, but it simply stopped at the message "Formatting DATA...". (I can wipe cache though.). I tried several times to wipe the data but all failed and the phone always stops at the Boot logo when I reset it.
I tried to reflash it. The odin runs successfully as usual and I can see the blue box PASS. But on the phone the screen just shows the following words and wont reboot.
"
--Install from package.
..
Finding update package..

Opening update package..

Try flashing the 2.1 version again, then flash JPN.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! I am going to try that. report later.

just flashed with I5800XXJI2. flashing itself worked( I can see the blue PASS box). but it just wont reboot. stuck at the boot logo. i can enter download mode. Should I try other ROM?
because my phone freezed when installing apps (after that i reset the phone and then it wont reboot), i am guessing that some part of data on the phone corrupted (maybe in /data?). Will it help if I flash a rom that contains a datafs.rfs in the ROM? And which ROM contains a datafs.rfs?
all suggestions are welcome!! Thanks.

How long was it stuck at the boot logo? Normally it takes around 7 - 10 mins in the initial boot. Just give it sometime. Or just try flashing the same ROM again.

I waited for more than 10 minutes. To be clear, by "boot logo" I mean the STATIC image containing the words "GT-I5800" and "samsung", not a single shining word "samsung".

Clear your dalvik cache, hold the volume rocker and the home button to enter recovery mode and do it from there.
Ok I see you did that...
Wipe the phone clean, enter the download mode and flash xxjpm, but flash it without the sd card and sim card.

Thanks for your response!
In recovery mode, I can only wipe cache, but can't wipe data, it always stops at "Formatting DATA..." Does that matter? anyway I am going to try jpm

try flashing a rom with datafs.rfs

Hmmm. You may then have to flash a ROM which has datafs.rfs

Thank you all for the help.
I will reflash it tomorrow. Will report back by then. I hope I can post a good news here by then .

hey jpn is having the worst bootloader .I suggest to remove bootloader from and then flash it .

yes, my phone is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally flashed with XXJPF and succeeded. I suspected the problem to be with /data, and shreyasharusia's words reminded me that it might also be the fault of the program that refuses to wipe data (the bootloader? or at least low level controlling program). So I decided to flash a rom with both datafs.rfs, boot.bin and Sbl.bin and picked JPF. Now my phone is completely ok for 5 hours.
Thanks you all so much!

Here. Go to the i5800 section.
You will have to make an account to access the firmwares though.

I understand if flashing via odin is the final result will bootloop but do not panic because I never felt well and the way out is someone to pull out the battery, let sit a few seconds, replace the battery and then go into stock recovery mode, wipe data and cache ... reboot, try to see the results ...
Hope you can help ...

Perhaps you could tell us what you flashed - it might help

bad sign, if you can't boot into recovery I'd say call Samsung

basically i try to flash every roms to see if any rom work to solve the prolem. when i ry to mount efs it said error. and after i use odin to flash back to stock. i saw current binary-Samsung but the system status still stuck at custom. any idea?

You should boot to the bootloader (Volume down and power button) and do a factory reset. This'll wipe all your data and - very likely - your Note 10.1 will boot again!
I had the same problem a while ago, and this worked for me.
edit:
Oops, I didn't saw that you tried this already...

haven't seen anyone truly remedy this situation, and I wouldn't risk sharing efs files

Galaxy tab 2 10.1 5113 in boot loop

My galaxy tab was rooted and i Just installed clock work mod recovery and i tried to flash a custom ROM that was proven to work and now its stuck in a boot loop were i just see the galaxy tab logo on start up, then it shuts off. I have tried at least 5 different roms with no success. Does anyone know a fix to this? One of the roms was a aosp ROM and it got the furthest. it got past the galaxy tab logo and to its android loading logo, but it froze and restarted. This is really frustrating and i would just like a fix. anyone?
Thanks,
Zach

my brother almost rom for proper functionality before flashing requires you to wipe cache and factory reset and dalvik cache wipe
i think you did not perform it
also as now you are on boot loop if you are able to boot into recovery you can try to do these things it may work or you may boot in rom
also if not possible you can then flash stock rom through odin
also after flashing stock rom you will stuck o samsng logo so dont panic and reboot into recovery and wipe factory reset and cache partiiton and reboot { just these two things }
hope i helped and you tab gets working again :good::good:

Hi, I whenever i perform a factory reset and device wipe, it restarts the tablet. Im not exactly sure how to flash a ROM through odin, I have used it tho.
Also, all the links to my tablets (p5113) roms are broken. Do you know of any working ones?
Thanks,
Zach:laugh:

For P5113 you can use P5110 Rom´s - IR included to support P5113
For KitKat-Roms you need to use one of the latest recovery´s - else you´ll get "Error 7".
And don´t forget
"format /system" before flashing too

Sorry if I'm intruding (I own the P5100) I have the same problem of bootloop, I've done the reset (also the / system) but as soon as I install the latest nightly of CM 11 7 gives me this error (Error 7), what should I do?
All of this has happened to me for a simple update to version

Error 7 means your recovery needs to be updated. Look at Android-Andi's signature, he has links to proper recoveries.

Samsung J700h Dead or What?

Hi,
I want to ask about my phone j700h i dont know if dead or what.
first my phone firmware is Marshamallow then i downloaded A5 Port rom and install and success and then i saw "Speed Fusion Remix " i think its cool so i downloaded and create backup using TWRP and install "Speed Fusion Remix " and Success and when i use the "Speed Fusion Remix " i tried gps test apps in My Room and i saw slow locking location then a few hours i tried to go back to A5 Port Rom using Restore TWRP and success boot. and i tried to GPS test in my Room but also slow and i tried outside my house and then there is a bunch of GPS satellite so i think "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" have no problems. Once Again i tried to Flash "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" and after installation my phone went BLACK it won't charge, I can't go to Recovery mode but i can go to Download Mode. So i downloaded he Official Firmware J7 then Flash Using ODIN software and Success flash, but it won't BOOT and Black Screen also. I cant Go to Recovery, Only DownloadMode is Function.
WHY? Can you Help Me?

Did you do a full wipe - data, system, cache, dalvik cache - before flashing with Odin?
Odin defaults to 'upgrade' while preserving data.
If you didn't wipe before the Odin flash you now have a 'mix' of roms on your fon.
Edit
First try to reinstall TWRP using Odin.
If that fails proceed as below.
Since you can't go into recovery to wipe anymore, retry Odin but select Re-Partition under options.
If that fails use SmartSwitch emergency recovery.
You're such a flash whore! . Like me :silly:
Good Luck!
