Stuck on bootloop from Clockworkmod 5.8.4.9

PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...

Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.

This is why i have never liked rom manager...

The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

Help, every ROM I've tried just gets stuck in bootloop

Ok, Ive unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM, rooted my device and checked that it worked, and when I go to the boot loader and select recovery it takes me to CWM. Ive made backups from it and and they restore fine. I even installed a custom kernel and it worked because noFrills let me OC/choose a different governor. Yet from the three ROMs Ive tried so far, they install fine, no errors from CWM, but when I boot up it just gets stuck booting forever. Ive tried wiping everything, Ive tried wiping some things, heck I even tried wiping nothing but I still get the same issue. Id really like to try a new ROM now that I went through the trouble of voiding my warranty, so please try to help me. Thanks in advance, alexbenh

Same here

Gonna try out this guy's method real quick except with CWM

I know this seems obvious, but are the ROMs you are flashing specific for your device?

yes, I have the Moto G XT1034 and have flashed ROMs before on my old galaxy exhibit and never had any trouble with that

Join the club, same here, done everything right but no custom rom joy for me

If you're flashing a kitkat ROM, make sure you're already running KitKat. If you're still on 4.3, then fastboot flash the stock 4.4.2 image first, then try custom roms

WOOOHOOO, I reinstalled the stock 4.4 firmware and everything, I couldnt root it with superboot so I just skipped the rooting step. Then I flashed CWM through the bootloader although I decided to take a risk and instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", I did "mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img" just to see if it would change anything. Not sure if thats why it works for me now, but its worth a try. Good luck to the rest of you who have this problem.

Yes, I was already running the stock 4.4 ROM the only differences was that I had a custom kernel which could possibly be an issue, but I wouldnt think so

huh, I had not tried using TWRP, but I thought CWM had a fix permissions command as well.

My experience. I tried CWM then loaded a Rom, the first one I tried being CM11 = Bootloop, Then I tried several other Rom's and always the same result, spinning on Bootloop
I then put the phone back to stock firmware 4.4.2 and tried TWRP version TWRP2630, no joy even the bootloader wouldn't work right.
Finally put the phone back to stock AGAIN (now getting frustrated!) and tried installing TWRP2631 using fastboot. That did the trick, now all ROM's load and run fine. This version of TWRP appears to be working well. Backup/restore works, and no problems at all.
Other's report CWM works well, but not for me unfortunately.

Sudden Bootloop after deleting files

My tablet (P3100) was running the last nightly of CM13 whwn this happened. I tried to download 2 big files namely the LineageOS build and opengapps on my tablet as I was preparing to make a clean flash. And when they both failed, I deleted both of them in the stock file manager. Now, the most unimaginable thing happened to my tab. It froze right after I pressed yes on the delete prompt and when I tried to turn it back on, it gets past the boot logo and just stays black. Recovery mode is not accessible but download mode is. Offline charging also works. I thought of flashing the stock firmware through odin but since I was not done backing up my files, Im afraid to do so as it could wipe the internal storage (does it?) My question is, can I flash the stock firmware and leave my files (not apps) untouched?

Your files will surely get deleted using an odin flash. Try odin flashing twrp and then tell me.

if u flash any odin based roms then ur /system , /data will be wiped according to the rom. i guess u should try flashing twrp (latest) via odin.

most likely yes because android marshmallow is newer then jellybean so yes if the stock doesnt work correctly then yeah and I dont think it should have deleted twrp and when you get twrp on there again use this backup on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ock-firmware-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5113-t3547723

UPDATE: I tried to flash andi's common twrp using odin but alas, twrp still does not work. I then flashed stock as a last resort and all my files were wiped unsurprisingly. Now running LineageOS without any problems (but I hope this does not happen again) thanks to all who tried to help

so have you tried using the twrp app on the playstore or flashfire? i think you just have to download the flashable zip and flash it with flashfire havent tried it though

help - cant even boot into recovery anymore

My backup phone is an S5 and I was messing around with roms. I had been flashing roms for a while using twrp no problem. I forget what I selected, maybe factory data reset or some other option to do I wipe. But now everything is gone. I cannot even get into a recovery program anymore.
Pulled battery and booted up, it will say recovery loading and then you see the spinning android robot but then it gets stuck. I tried loading the ROMs onto the SD card. That is of no use since I cant even get into the recovery. What the heck did I do?

Odin back to Stock.

agreed, you probably borked the recovery somehow. Odin either the stock OS back and itll put stock recovery back, or just Odin twrp in it again. Be careful going past OK4 if youre gonna Odin the stock setup back on it as rooting after OK4 and ROM compatibility based on baseband can be a PITA

J700F Brick Help Please

Hello there. I ran the device 1 week ago and custom rom and root I threw. There is no trouble here. But when I installed the boot logo that I built yesterday, the device did not open again. There's nothing like a logo. It does not open in recovery mode. I can only go dowload fashion. I tried stock ROM throwing, although the phone did not open again. What can I do?

Did your custom Rom have its boot logo? If yes, reflash your custom Rom (no wipe).
Otherwise flash back to stock with Odin.

No rom had its boot logo. I had a stock rom with Odin, but the phone did not open yet.

Try SmartSwitch. You'll need a good internet connection.

I solved the problem. I found 4 files stock rom and flash to device.
