Hello,
I am new to this forum and to custom flashing in general, so please bear with me.
I have recently acquired a Galaxy S4 Active GT-i9295 that at previously been upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop (prior to my ownership).
The phone currently will go to the Samsung splash screen and then I get a screen that says
"Encryption failed - Unable to complete encryption because of interruption. Perform factory data reset (erasing all of your data) before use. After resetting, try encrypting device again" and then a "reset device" button which, when pressed does nothing.
The phone allows me to power it down, but will not allow me into the factory reset menu (home+volume up+power). It does, however let me into the download mode (volume down + power).
From there I attempted to recover to the factory firmwear using Odin 3.07 and CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5. Odin gives me the blue light when recognizing the phone, but when I attempted to flash it, it failed.
next I tried to flash it with a PIT file to re-partition it (I9295.pit) and the re-partition failed.
I am a bit stuck here. I have seen fixes here that suggest clearing the cache, but since I can not enter the main recovery menu, I am at a complete loss. Any help would be appreciated.
A separate PIT is never used for flashing with Odin.
Where did you acquire that?
Current CWM-based recovery is 6.0.5.1,
Multirom TWRP recovery 2.8.4.0
The v1-2 CWM based recovery is 6.0.3.5. The one you tried to flash is really old with unknown support for Lolipop and extended file systems.
Encrypted devices are locked by password even if you install a new custom recovery. If you don't know password (strange given it's your phone?) a flash of stock 5.0.1 + factory reset will wipe all clean.

Hello guys, I've updated my SG+ to the latest firmware (XXKQ1) using ODIN over my old firmware (I didn't want to lose any settings/apps, sorry noob). My phone just started giving me forced app ending errors and now it's stuck in the bootloop (animation).
Any sugestion would be helpful! I would love a solution that would not require a total wipe of my settings/pics/etc.
try to get in download mode again by pressing volume button down, home button and power button. Open Odin select the firmware you downloaded as onepackage file and flash again but i think your pics and stuff like that will be gone.
Usually it should boot normally after a flash, without resetting anyway. But it helps in 90% to reset your device, maybe it doesn't boot up because you didn't resetted it. So im sorry to say that but I think you have to do that, or flash the firmware you had before..
For resetting you can go into the recovery mode (by pressing vol+ and power button, then when the "android out of the box" appears release these buttons and press the menu softbutton), then choose wipe data/factory reset or something like this. ^^
This doesn't seems to be solved.
I have the same problem, I did factory reset, formatted /system, wipe cache, dalvik, after updating I fixed permissions, but the phone is still on bootloop.
I did: RemICS 1.3 and CyanogenMod 9 with CWM 5.5.0.4. Always bootloop.

Any help?
The only ROM that is working is the original one from samfirmware.com.
I'm sorry for post under the post, but I wanted to go this topic to the top, so anybody with this issue would see it.
I have tested one solution and it help with me:
Before uploading CWM into the Phone, format external sdcard. After that upload on external sdcard the zip archive with ROM and upload CWM with Odin.
After going to recovery mode and installing the ROM (I uploaded RemICS 1.3a), everything work just fine.
bootloop

am i need flash it with other rom?
anyway i get some problem, i can open my recovery but when i press my power button it cannot select any of recovery menu. But i still can navigate wiht Volume button
u can open the recovey so u dont need to worry
firstly do a complete wipe of all user and system data
if u are on plilz recovery there is a option to do so in the wipe data factory reset option called "clean to install a new rom" do it
thenif u have a official jb 4.1.2 firmware flash it via odin if u want to go back to stock or there are many kk roms and customized 4.1.2 roms available here do a research and flash whatever u like

You currently have the stock recovery, not Philz.
Go into your current recovery and go to factory reset/data wipe (use the volume up and down keys), to select it use the power button. Once you have factory reseted your device, reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then do the following:
Download any recent Philz Kernel for JB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Copy that to your external sd card (go into recovery and connect your Note to your PC or if that doesn't work, do it through a different phone or an microsd card reader). Flash that file in the stock recovery, reboot to recovery again. Once you have philz, perform a full wipe (you should have that option in factory reset/data wipe otherwise wipe /system /preload /data). Once that is done, reflash with Odin and then again: go to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot, now it should be working.
Hi All,
My phone locked up this evening for no particular reason. When I rebooted it, I got stuck at a slow flashing Samsung Logo screen.
After scouring threads and web pages for several hours I am stuck!
I can get to the download screen to install a custom ROM and also to to the system recovery menu.
I cleared the cache and also performed a factory reset, but no help.
I have no ROM backups
I suspect I need a clean firmware but don't have a clue where to start or which ROM to install.
Can anyone help me with VERY simple noob friendly instructions for installing a new ROM from scratch? Happy to read through linked content.
Can anyone suggest which new ROM is best for the device? It needs to be clean and stable. I am totally OK with stock ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance guys! Thanks for your patience with a complete noob.
Would need more details..
Such as what version of Android your phone was on?
Was it rooted? Any custom recovery installed?
If a custom recovery is installed boot to it and then do a factory reset and clearing the cache..
Or you can download the Stock Firmware in a Zip File and flash it via Odin.
For Stock Files, search here or google it and download the firmware according to your region.
And for Odin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539
enter stock recovery(press Volume UP + HOME + Power at the same time for 5 seconds) and a menu will show up...use Volume keys to navigate in that menu..with Power button you select an option...
select Wipe Data/Factory Reset - and scroll down to yes and select it..
Wipe Cache Parition - do the same..
then reboot....
if doesn't work...provide me some info like country where do you live and your mobile operator and i will give you a firmware to flash with odin and how to...
The most important question here would be was it rooted? If you are rooted and have custom recovery installed you can wipe data there and flash any rom of your choice (head over to the development thread).
If your device are not rooted, I afraid you'll have to use odin to flash stock firmware. Head over to sammobile site to download firmware for your country.
I started with a new S3 Mini (Branding Android 4.1.2 ). Using the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 MINI TOOLKIT Pro, (mskip) i rooted it and flashed also the CMW Recovery. Within the CMW Recovery i made a Backup before i flashed a CUSTOM-ROM ( "enox reVenge one" ROM ).
Flashing went trough without Errors, afterwards i did a "wipe factory reset", a "wipe cache" and a "wipe dalvik cache". Then after a reboot the "disaster" was there with a permanent bootloop (Samsung starting Screen with model, etc.) and i couldn´t get into Recovery mode anymore. As i found out, the Download mode still worked and i could still flash using ODIN. but odin don't work Flash installed programs goldenxx_PIT_file put the boot in place. Handset is stuck on the logo. downloading mode is used, but is not recognized as a odin. Recovery dont goes. Zune does not have any drivers. Several specialists have failed. PLEASE HELP ME

Can you post a log from odin?
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11
i wonder if there is a way out of a bootloop that works no matter what, as long as you can enter download mode.
after reading for 3 days and flashing everything i could (flashing stock ROM, WIPE_I8190.tar.md5, PARAM_I8190.tar.md5, "LeFreu" I8190 серв. укр) it all gave me the same result: bootloop.
i made a back up before flashing a custom ROM (Dmod V6 and Virginity V3 as they seemed like the best ones) so if any of u help me access CWM recovery or TWRP i could do a restore and make my phone work again.
NOTE: the only way i managed to use CWM recovery the first time was rooting with odin "I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1_HOME_rooted_by_avicohh" and then downloading rom manager from the playstore
the attached screenshot shows my device info from factory, can anyone help me restore my phone?

i need serious help.
i have a galaxy s3 mini gt-i8190 and im stuck on a bootloop
i bought it in new sealed condition and it came with this firmware (see attached screenshot)
and when i tried to update it a window popped saying that my device was modified and that software update were not available.
i decided to root my phone so i could install a new rom.
i downloaded all the software i needed including drivers dor the usb samdung devices and enabled usb debuging in developer options
then i used odin to flash I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1_HOME_rooted_by_avicohh
then i tried flashing custom recovery via odin also
everything went normal but custom recovery was not sticking, meaning no matter what type of custom recovery i flashed (twrp, cwm) i ended up having 3e stock recovery.. (NOTE: the 3e stock recovery before AND after flashing rooted ROM, had always a broken android on the floor with an exclamationg sign in its chest) so i tried another method:
i downloaded root checker from the playstore and rom manager. after checking i was rooted (wich i was) i flashed cwm recovery and succesfully was able tu boot into cwm recovery. i did a back up in both, internal storage and external sd, and procedded to flash Dmod V6. i followed the aroma installer and when it finished i selected reboot system now and got a bootloop.
i entered in cwm recovery and did a restore. did a full wipe (data, cache and dalvik) and tried flashing another rom: virginity ROM. followed the aroma installer and selected reboot system now, the result was bootloop.
when i was trying to do another restore the recovery told me that the system would try to flash stock recovery again and i choosed to keep the cwm recovery.
at this point my phone was able to turn on and boot normally. tried again to flash via cwm the virginity rom and got a bootloop again. so i went to do another restore and this time i choosed diferently (flash stock recovery) and when the restore ended i selected rebbot system now and got a bootloop AGAIN.
now i cannot enter CWM recovery (i guess that is obvious because i choosed to flash stock one)
i have readed 3 days now and tried everything that the forums say: flashing stock firmware, flashing WIPE_I8190.tar.md5, flashing PARAM_I8190.tar.md5 and still ended with a bootloop. tried flashing I8190 серв. укр (LeFleur) and nothing, absolutely nothing works.
i even downloaded Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.2.8 and tried to flash stock firmware but nothing seems to work. all my phone does is bootloop, and boot into download mode.
can a serious developer help me solve this? im about to give up.... and that seriously affects me because im not a quitter.
any help would be greatly apreciated...
