how to fix android - Android General

i format my android phone to have space for my backup firmware when i tap factory data reset it boots to TWRP so i wipe it with TWRP but after i wipe it,it boots back to TWRP so i wipe everything with the system now my phone doesnt boot my system so i try to fix it but my STUPID friend told me to download a different rom because i cant find my stock rom,so i download it and install on my device,now my device doesnt even show the boot screen,i cant even see my battery percentage. okease help me i tried to go to the technician but they dont know the fix please help me

you obviously had no idea what you're doing. had you done any research before doing anything you'd save a lot. now you've bricked your phone, even worse ... hardbricked. you'd be lucky if you can even revive it.

Mine has done this twice since I have gotten my phone. The way was able to get it back working is by doing a hard reset (holding the power and lower volume button until the android Guy is showing ) this gets it back to working for me hope it helps
I will try but i think that gets me into my clockwork mod recovery. thanks

i did that to still no luck but when i did get into to wipe dalvik cache it says this E: unkown volume for path [/sd-ext] just before i press the yes to accept if that means anything. I never seen that b 4
I would remove external sd card and then reflash the stock ROM again making sure you clear all caches and see what happens...really not sure what else to do if you're stuck in boot loop

So the phone doesn't come on at all? What happens when you try to open boot loader.

when i try to go to bootloader by pressing down and start key, it takes me to menu where i can see start, recovery and bootloadrer option, if i go to recovery, it will lead me to twrp , but if i select bootloader it will just do nothing
Don't freak out. Everything will be OK. Just follow this guide to flash the stock image and you'll be up and running in minutes.

If you successfully made a backup, go to TWRP -> restore -> choose the file you backed up and flash.
If not, follow El Daddys post.
thank you guy,... i am working on that. will post back soon
thank you so much all of you. you just saved me.. should i select format data option only when flashing a rom or the option which says and which option causes the internal memory to wipe out clean
I usually do factory reset and wipe dalvik/cache a second time to be safe.
Which method did you use to get it running again?

Pressed factory reset by accident

Now it's my turn. Pressed factory reset by accident in boot loader. Can get to TWRP but it says E: Unable to mount storage
e:Unable to mount /sdcard/TWRP/twps. when trying to read settings file. etc...
Advanced File manager in TWRP shows /sdcard/TWRP
Any ideas???? If I try to mount data in TWRP my Mac wants to initialize.
Thanks
TWRP shows internal storage 0 mb
I flashed the stock recovery, then ran it and somehow it booted right into CM11. Everything was lost, but it's working again.
Factory reset wipe everything! Including SD card.

Possibly, but how come CM11 was still on there? I think that the Boot Loader in Moonshine's factory reset is not compatible with CM11. Luckily the stock recovery fixed things for me.

I had the same issue, pressed by mistake factory reset in bootloader some time ago. I was pressing vol down to reach recovery, there was a slight lag and I pressed it a second time the immediately I've pressed power...so cursor has jumped 2 rows then executed. I've solved it only by flashing stock recovery and resetting to factory settings again, then flashed TWRP.
Now why you still had CM11...well not 100% sure but in TWRP when you wipe to factory the system partition is not formatted. I've paid attention once to the messages during a wipe and it was formatting data, cache, dalvik and android secure but not system. A reason can be that while flashing any ROM, the install script formats system at the beginning so theres no need to do that with factory reset.
Now I can only think that the factory reset from bootloader does the same and system is not wiped. Theoretically it is correct...system is read only especially on a stock non rooted device and resetting it to factory practically means that any trace of personal settings/aps and so on should be erased. And those are not stored on the system partition. There is also no hidden place on the phone where a recovery image of the original android OS is kept so this is not like on the laptops where you reset to factory and Windows is reinstalled from the recovery partition. My guess is that the factory reset just wipes all partitions that contain personal data and settings and leave system intact. So after a wipe and reboot is like you first start it.
You still had CM11 cause the wipe didn't format system...If anyone has a better explanation I would be glad to hear it. So From my point of view nothing went wrong and has nothing to do with the Maximus recovery or it's compatibility with CM11. It would have happen the same if you have used any other stock recovery
Factory reset, resets youre phone to original settings.
Anyway, its good that the phone works.

Yes. And it is not formatting system when doing this. So any os is installed will be kept

I don't want to try it again but I wonder if moonshine's factory reset is incompatible with cm11?
Dont understand what do you mean by "incompatible". The factory reset from bootloader is not the same thing as the one from a custom recovery. You shouldn't do a factory reset from bootloader regardless of the ROM you're using
Moonshine is an S-Off method, I didn't used it myself so I don't know what factory reset option is in there

I never said anything about the custom recovery. If you should never use it, why is it there and why does it make the SD card not available?
Wow, HTC says you can use it here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/howto/313779.html
I'm sure you know something others like me don't, but I when I mean "incompatible" I mean that I don't believe that it should make the sdcard unavailable and make the phone think it has zero MB. I think what you might have missed is that I used factory reset from the custom boot loader from moonshine. I was wondering if that factory reset was compatible - that's all.
Again, it was a mistake - it's not like I chose it on purpose. Thank you for the help.

The reset to factory from bootloader exists because on stock ROM there's no custom recovery that has that option....so it's in bootloader. For it to work properly though, you must have the stock recovery also. If you have a custom recovery like twrp/cwm and use the wipe from bootloader it'll mess your sd cause phone is not able to perform the wipe properly with that custom recovery. That's why, in order to get back to normal you should flash back stock recovery and perform the wipe from bootloader again.

Thank you for the clarification. It makes sense. Too bad that reset is so close to the recovery command. It's pretty weird that I didn't have to run the wipe from the stock boot loader again. It ran and rebooted the phone into CM11. Anyway, I am glad I am back to running. Thanks.

[HELP] Can not factory reset or flash my Lenovo A680

First of all i want to thank everyone that will try to help.
I have a problem with my Lenovo A680. I try to do factory reset through the recovery. First time i tried, i got an error message "Can not get phone encrypt state". After that i tryied to root with Kingo Root and everything went well. I rebooted the phone and root was gone. No application super user or something. Then i said i was going to do factory reset again. I went to recovery and presses yes to factory reset. It said all done and rebooted into system. There everything was as i had them before. All my apps installed and nothing changed. I even tried to use sp flash tools to download the official rom into my lenovo. Still nothing happends. Then i go for the format+download or firmware update. Nothing happends again. Tried to only format the device to see if i get into the system (and i guess i should not) and i boot into it. Please help me to restore it to factory settings....
P.S. the reason i wanted to factory reset is that sometimes it stuck sometimes on booting and sometimes on usage.

Can't stop booting to CWM after factory reset inside android

Hi,
I can't stop rebooting to CWM after I did a factory reset in android.
I had been using bulldroid, but I did a factory reset to give the phone to someone else, and it kept booting to CWM.
So I just installed bulldroid again from .zip file in CWM, and it said it was successful, but after you reboot, it keeps doing the same thing.
How do I get the phone to actually boot to the firmware again so I can use it?
