cwm recovery bootloop - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone goes to cwm recovery everytime phone boots, I can't get out of it. Did factory reset, cache erase and dalvik cache erase in cwm, it did not help. Restored backup in cwm, it did not help. I also can't mount external_sd (I wasn't able to do it before too). Cwm recovery shows "can't mount /external_sd/". So I guess I can't use my sd card to transfer files to phone. What else can I try?

Flash to stock?

Do you advise to flash to stock or are you asking if I was flashing stock? If first, I can't flash cause it's not in fastboot mode while it's in recovery, if second then yes, I was flashing to stock when bootloop occured. I forgot to wipe before flashing, so I guess that's why bootloop occured, but this is weird that it bootloops into recovery.

Try this: format system in cwm. Install new ROM in cwm and reboot.
I have the feeling the your system partition is corrupt. As a safety measure the phone boots in recovery mode.

I formated /system, then set up recovery of backup. It was restoring backup, but in the process I walked off and when I returned, phone was powered off with only green led on. I guess it ran out of power because it was already low before. Now green light is on when it's plugged to charger but it does not seem to be charging as it is charging now 5 hours and nothing changed. LED lights off when I unplug it off the charger, when I plug it in back, phone vibrates 2x, led powers on and then nothing.

Ok so from time to time it still boots into recovery mode (it's mysterious when, but it lasts only few minutes, then reboots itself and returns to "black" state). I was able to do recovery of my backup, but after it turned off same thing happened so it did not help. I think I would need factory cable.

What did u do before u got this problem. What was your last action?
BTW, if u o something with your mobile, like doing something with the recovery or flashing stuff, always make Sir u have enough battery or it is connected on the net. Sometimes a bad flash can damage stuff.

I did not have charger with me and charging with USB takes too long so I thought it's ok to flash it as long as it's plugged in pc during flash.
Ok, I downgraded from JB to ICS stock. Yes yes I know, but let me finish. I never accepted OTA update and I made SURE to delete lines in xml where is motoboot and userdata (as omar advised) and gpt (as HSD-Pilot advised). It looked good. I forgot to wipe before though, so I knew that's why classic bootloop occured (showing motorola logo, intel logo, reboot, repeat). I didn't worry about it much though as this is frequent problem and has many solutions. I couldn't simply go to fastboot mode, so I wanted to know if there is available adb during any phase of fastboot. So I did "adb wait-for-device". When I did this, it went to recovery mode and from then on I could not exit it. You are surely asking how is it possible that this adb command caused this. Well, I have no idea either, but that is what happened.
Then I couldn't power off phone, because it restarted itself at every try to power it off into cwm recovery (I willnever buy phone with unplugable battery again). So I at least left plugged it into pc during night. If it was loosing power during night and battery was charged more before, I don't think it would help - because it would eventually still loose it all. In morning it worked same, for a few hours I guess, then it added black screen with green light into its mysterious behaviour repertoire . But as I said, it still boots itself into cwm recovery from time to time, thing is I am out of ideas what to do there.

In recovery mode u can use adb to boot in boot loader. Or to shut the phone down with a command. Try it and see if it works.
U can also try to flash a boot.IMG by cwm or fast boot(boot loader) if u can get there. Flash by cwm can be done with adb side load if the external SD doesn't work.
Sent from my GT-P5110 using XDA Premium HD app

No I can't where do you get these assumptions? You can't use adb nor fastboot while in recovery mode. And in my case with cwm 6.0.1.9 it also does not detect external sdcard and adb also does not catch in sideload, I suspect this version is faulty, I have no idea why it's propagated in this xda forum section.
Once again:
-stuck in recovery
-cant use adb
-cant use fastboot
-cant use sideload
-cant use sdcard

Sorry maybe I miss read your story. I thought u tried Adb in boot loader when it all goes wrong. But u already stated it.
The only thing is, I can't get my head around your problem. Adb should work in cwm always. It is like a part of it. This is as far as my knowledge about the phone goes. U already tried the hard-reset (power, up-volume,down-volume,camera buttons).
I only have one more thing. If u do the hard-reset. Release alle buttons except the volume-down button when it reboots. Like the booting sequence for booting in boot loader. Sometimes u need to do this when the power cable is out and sometimes when it is on the phone.
If u already have done this or it also won't work after some trying than I don't know anymore. Maybe someone with more experience can help u or u can try to get support form Motorola.

Please help!
I have problems with the installation. I did full wipe in CWM.
Wipe data / factory reset
wipe Cache
Wipe cache Dalvick
Format Sytem
Format cache
Format Panic (panic error in CWM mount)
Format PDS
Now every time I try to install rom infinite boot loop
I can only install with rom instal bat.
Flash zip error after full wipe
How to solve this error?
I have already installed SML 29 via RSD_LITE to try to solve, but the error appears again when I install flash zip rom
Forgive my bad english

If u are using cwm 6... Try the first cwm one. Cwmalpha. Or try twrp the latest one. If all doesn't work use fast boot (bat file one) to get to stock.
But where have u read to format PDS and panic? Why would u do it and need it? Not that they cause the bootloop I think.

every rom install with no problem BAT.file bootloop.
YES! Install TWRP however same error happened install flash zip
SML-29 installed. new root again recoveyr. install rom zip always bootloop.

This solution does not work properly.
Bootloop after installing pi-llama_v1.5 over SML29.
What do I trigger was factory option in fastboot.
installation:
SML29 rsd_lite
wipe cache + wipe cache dalvick
Pi-llama_v1.5
Bootloop occurred as expected
Rom start after selecting factory in fastboot.
But the problem persists if I try to install rom zip with traditional method.
Still awaiting a solution to the problems caused by CWM in my Xt890.
Thanks to all who are helping.

[solved] Soft brick, tablet resets during recovery activities

I have the wifi only 7310 model of the 8.9
Overcme CwM Recovery 5.1.2.6
ROM was Galaxian Soup AOSP 1.6
My tablet resets during recovery. Half through a data wipe ROM install ROM backup or ROM restore it will reset and reboot.
It first happened when i booted into recovery and triedROM issue. to make a back up of m y current ROM and attempt to flash the aokp one. It reset during the backup process.
It shouldn't be a ROM issue. My tablet did this once before, it would reset when i did anything involvng dataon an Overcome ROM i think. Data wipe/backup etc. I left it alone while the ROM still worked and tried again a week later with no issues.
Any ideas? Now i have a soft brick that cant boot past the Samsung Screen. I can get into recovery and download modes.
EDIT* added a video
EDIT2:
The issue was solved.
What ended up happening what i attempted to flash back to stock software, ODIN would stall during the system.img. From this point i thought it was done, but i could still get into the stock recovery, i used the stock recovery to wipe the data after several failed attempts in a similar manner to this video.
One day it just worked. I could finally wipe data and cache without a reset. But i could't flash a file because ODIN would still freeze on the system.img. It was suwandiapr who showed me his walkthrough to push an file to recovery from adb. Thank you so much
I do NOT know why it my tablet/recovery starting resetting when i wanted to do a data/cache wipe/restore or why it decided to start doing it again. I tried the 5.5 cwm, the overcome 5.1 and the stock and none of them worked. Today i tried it on an off chance of boredom and it started working again. It is a confusing situation but that is what happened.
Again that you so much to Mr.Home and especially suwandiapr for all your help
> If you had a back up you can do advanced restore of just your system partition to get you tablet back on, though you will probably still have problem with the recovery
> If not, download the stock firmware tar.
Boot up to download mode using the power + vol combo.
flash the stock tar through odin.
boot up to download mode again.
this time flash the cwm recovery.
boot up to recovery mode.
wipe dalvikcache and data.
install aokp and gapps.
if it fails (cwm recovery stuck and reboots by itself during wiping /data partition or dalvik cache)
,chances are your data partition had been corrupted.
You can try fixing this by reflashing the stock firmware tar through odin again
just this time you need to have re-partition ticked.
and repeat above steps.
Take note that this will format the content your sd card too apart from the /data partition
EDIT: Please post this on the general section next time

Download Odin 1.85
Install Samsung USB drivers (should come with Kies)
Download stock firmware from samfirmware
Check the box beside PDA
Put the .md5 file into the PDA slot
Leave all other options on defaults
Put tablet into Download Mode (power and vol -, select the one that isn't recovery)
Connect it to your PC
Press START in Odin
Wait ~10 minutes
NOTE: this shouldn't wipe the internal sdcard. if you need to wipe that, select repartition and give Odin a PIT FOR THE P7310/7300 MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT ONE OR YOU WILL BRICK BADLY.
Moved To General​
I understand this might be a development related question, but questions do not belong here.​
im still bricked so if ANYONE has any ideas please let me know.
Do you have a backup of yours in computer? If yes.. Push your file to device with adb...
Or replace with cwm 5.5.0.4.. ( if you not familiar with odin)
From cwm recovery 5.1.2.6 mount your /data and /system..
After that push your file (cwm 5.5.0.4. Zip and your backup file) to sdcard trough adb
Install cwm 5.5.0.4 from your recovery..then reboot..
Before you install your backup file.. Try to wipe and reboot your phone.. If problem still exist.. Your assumption about ROM may right.. But if your booting problem disappear.. I think its because yor recovery..

I never try it before.. how about stock recovery? It will wipe your data partition include SD card..But it worth to try if you dont like ODIN..
here is the zip version..Instal from recovery..
Edit: Do with your own risk..
After looking at the video, I noticed something similar that had happened to me before.
It happened when I tried to wipe the "cache" first, instead of wiping only the "dalvik cache".
After that, whenever i tried to wipe the dalvik cache/reset factory data,
the recovery reboots by itself halfway through.

Check the thread in my signature on the ODIN How-To, Drivers (no Kies/Bloat needed for drivers) and more. If I were you I'd ODIN so the Stock Recovery is restored in place. Looks like something went wrong in your CWM Recovery's installation (could be a bad download you had, it happens). All the files you need (except for the ODIN image) are in my General Guide.

Well, i just don't wipe cache. Only the dalvikcache and all went well..
I have a soft brick, no memory or sd card data. I can get into recovery but i don't have any files on the tablet to flash.
Are you windows user? if yes..
Just like my answer from previous post.. See page one!
Mount your /system and /data partition from recovery menu..(from cwm)
From your computer.. Use this tools for pushing the file flashable.zip to device..
After that you can flash a new rom from recovery..

Please help! Galaxy S plus I9001 stuck booting into recovery *Fixed* :)

Hi folks,
I tried updating my S plus to ICS today by following the instructions listed here:
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-plus-i9001-ice-cream-sandwich-update-install-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom
I read through the instructions and it looked pretty simple. I successfully installed Team Win recovery, performed a backup, wiped, and then installed the CM9 rom.
After the installation, the phone just boots back into Team Win recovery. I tried reverting to the backup, but it still just boots to recovery every time.
Now that I'm stuck in TeamWin recovery, I'm at a loss on what to try next .
Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix the problem?
Thanks,
Evan
Sometimes when you flash new Recovery (usually when replacing stock recovery with modified recovery for the first time) you get stuck at bootloop. It means /boot partition was damaged. After flashing TWRP did you restart your phone and it booted correctly, or did you install everything (TWRP, got backup, wipe and install new ROM) at once?

So is reflashing in Odin what you are suggesting? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yes, after I flashed TWRP it booted fine, the 2nd time I went into recovery, performed the backup, wiped, then flashed the rom. I've tried wiping both the cache's with no success. I've also tried reflashing the rom, wiping the cache's, restoring with the backup, wiping cache's again... nothing seems to be working
What would be different if I had installed everything (TWRP, backup, wipe, rom) at the same time?
*Edit* Reflashed through Odin and it worked great! Thanks for the help, I'm a little scared to start messing with the phone again, but ICS is tempting...
Got the rom working with a fresh backup after fixing the bootloop. Thanks again for the link divibyzero, the troubleshooting steps solved the problem, whatever it was, and now its running ICS
These Samsungs S+'s seem to be a little more finiky than my HTC.

Hello guys,
I think have the same problem, this morning I installed the Team Win recovery and after a reboot my phone come into recovery mode and even after a furthr reboot I'm blocked in a bootloop that leads me always on Team Win recovery.
I tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and even a wipe of the system but nothing happen.
I reinstalled rom but without success.
There is a way to fix this through adb?

You didn't specify, so I'll assume you have an i9001, if this is not the case, you probably shouldn't follow these instructions
Just reflash the bootloader as explained here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330) and you'll be fine. I had the exact same problem when I had installed CWM on my own device. It's not with adb, but it's not like you have to do a lot of effort to get Odin or anything and it will fix your device.

You must properly install Samsung mobile drivers on your PC, kill Samsung Kies process (or even better: uninstall Kies) and enable USB debugging on your phone. Then it will work.

I dont think this rom is compatible with the device. If it is then u should have done factory reset first then wipe cache partition and finally wipe dalvik cache. Since u didnt do that it could have messed up your device. Try get it to download mode by holding home+power+volume up and then flash stock rom with odin or get it into recovery and flash another rom correctly. If u cannot get into neither modes then usb jig is your only choice

[Q] Black screen after Logo, situation different from other threads here, pls Help!

So the phone tunred black screen when 1 day i was trying to turn off the wifi( if i remember correctly),
and then i started it again using power button, after showing the logo and boot animation, sunddenly it(sometimes during the boot animation) turned black screen and dead.
I got to recovery successfully and installed again the last custom rom(paranoid rom 3.x) and gapps i installed couple of days ago, and then reboot , same thing happened, couldnt get past the boot animation,, done factory rest, wipe everything and installed the last rom and gapps, same thing. (it's the only rom i had on my internal /sdcard which in the recovery i can browse through with no problem)
i tried to push another rom to /sdcard/ using adb, i can see my device under "adb devices" fine but it gave me "unauthorized devices" error.
then i downloaded the latest stock rom(4.1.2) and flashed using odin, flash completed successfully but still again same thing happens, cant get past the samsung boot animation.
----
after flashing the stock rom, now i cant even get into recovery,... and it seems there's no flashable recovery tar file for n7000.,...
any ideas?
thanks in advance

then i accidently found that i can get into recovery mode when usb plugged in,,, but if i try to flash in that recovery mode, it will fail and end in black screen..
guess im completely fked and maybe it's due to some weird, hard-to-replace, unexpected, hardware problem,,,
In the Philz CWM recovery, are you able to format data and cache partitions?

[Q] Razr i - no possibility to flash custom rom or stock - bricked?

Hallo together,
I seem to have done something wrong while trying to flash the rom "RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16".
Here is what i did:
- Unlocked to bootloader using official Motorola homepage
- Flashed CWM (non-touch) recovery using "Recovery Flasher by LeBobo v1.7", USB-Debugging was on
- Rebooted into bootloader and flashed "RAZRiRoot2" to prevent Stock-ROM from overwriting the recovery
- Tried to install the Custom ROM using CWM, but it fails to wipe cache (stuck on line "Formatting /cache")
Because it didn't work, i tried to reset everything as it was before to be able to try again - flashed stock-recovery using the Recovery Flasher by LeBobo, booted into bootloader and selected "Factory". The cell is now just showing the "Warning bootloader unlocked" warning and nothing else happens.
When i try to select the recovery in the bootloader menu, an image of a Android laying on its back with an opened hatch and a red warning symbol showing a "!" appears and nothing else happens.
I seem to have bricked my device, because i cant't really do anything now - is there any solution?
I read through different topics but could not find a real solution to this particular problem...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
It's not bricked
At the moment u enter stock recovery with that android and red warning sy,bol, u need to press bot volume up + downp. Than it will enter stock recovery mode.
Those are the following things u can do to get custom rom,
1. Flash another recovery, cwm touch, cwm non-touch, twrp. They all work a little different.
2. Flash the custom rom and wipe everything, The wip can take some time. sometimes it will be seconds, sometimes it will take a couple of minutes. Every recovery behaves different, and every flash/wipe too.
3. enjoy
If u really want to go back to stock, flash your stock JB firmware by RSD-Lite.
Thank you very much for your answer. I restored the stock rom using RSD Lite and did a clean install of TWRP.
Then I did a Factory Reset and started to install the custom ROM.
The TWRP is now stuck at "Flashing File 1 of 1 /external_sd/RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16.zip".
Is it normal that it takes more than five minutes or is something going wrong here? Is there something i forgot?

5 minutes is a bit too much. But that's the problem with this device. Every device behaves different and we haven't found out a solution too it.
At the moment i can't do much for you. I can only say try to wipe the partitions mannualy. Wipe system, data and cache. and mount system. And then try to install it. Maybe if that doesnt do the trick try again another recovery.
This from KTR-ROM
Code:
- Enter in TWRP or CWM
- Wipes required: data, system, cache y dalvik
*In CWM mount system must format before (Mount and storage -> Mount system)
Thanks again - that was it.
For some reason, TWRP did not automatically wipe the system-partition. It had to be mounted + wiped manually.
Not the custom ROM is up and running well. Installation took 35 minutes for some reason though...
