My phone doesn't boot anymore after an 2.2 update (no registry hack, official)
How can i fix this?
boot to recovery mode
then wipe cache and wipe data
to start fresh, the old settings are probably screwing with the new Froyo
How to boot in recovery mode? my phone doesn't have the 3button combination reboot function... Any other way to a hard reset?

Have you tried to Odin back to stock?

reboot to recovery mode [vol up+home+power] and you can factory reset from there

for some reason, I cant enter recovery. I managed to enter in the Download menu and installed a new ROM (Odin) all went well, the phone rebooted, and guess what ? The phone was exactly the same , lik eI didnt do anything...
Im so glad its my last Samsung...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? Twrp or cwm?
after odin flash, did you try rebooting to recovery and resetting from there?
I have rooted my device a few days ago and all was well. Today I tried to flash it to install a custom rom and now it's in a boot loop. Is there any way to get it out of a boot loop? I've tried the usual hold power button with all the type of key configurations and still no joy. I was thinking of un rooting it to try to get it back to stock but can't find the stock firmware can somebody please link me to it? I'm new to android so I'm a bit frustrated and worried as it's a lot of money I paid for it. Thabks
Try wipe CACHE and DALVIK cache in recovery (vol UP+HOME+POWER), then reboot.

Tried that but nothing happens when I do that. No android logo or anything the only thing it does is go into download mode.
Ok, try this. Official firmware. You dont write which variation you have, so this is for F. Download and install via Odin with Download mode.

After messing up a rom flash somehow (phone was stuck on a gray screen after logo), I used the stock recovery factory reset function, but after doing so my phone is stuck in an 'erase loop'. The phone alternates between the "Erasing..." screen (with the little droid) and the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I can enter the main menu for recovery mode, but if I try to go into the actual recovery mode (where you can wipe and install from sd/adb) the loop starts up again. I haven't seen this issue mentioned many other places, but the one forum I did find (for a different phone) just said to wait it out (20+ hours).
I was wondering if anyone else had ever encountered this, or if anyone had any suggestions for me.

Try flashing TWRP recovery image using fastboot. I presume you have bootloader unlock otherwise you wouldn't ended up in this mess in first place.
First reboot your phone into the bootloader (POWER+VOL-) from here you can connect your phone to PC and issue fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/TWRP.img
After that don't reboot the phone , just select from the already present bootloader the Recovery option... And from there try to factory reset !
If that doesn't work, and the phone doesn't boot (bootloops), you might have the /system partition messed up. At this stage get your hand on the latest Stock Firmware for your phone and flash all the system chunks (no data will be lost, but might need to wipe cache after if you get too many Force Closed)
That is for sure if you want to have stock, you could also try and flash using TWRP a custom ROM, that by itself will restore your system partition ( wipe system before flashing to be sure, by going into wipe -> Advanced -> tick System and the two Cache options and Wipe)
Hope I was clear, ask if you need more step-through details!
Thank you very much, flashing TWRP worked!
Need Help!!!!
I cleared the cache from Stock recovery (which I do regularly) after that the phone is stuck in the boot at Zenfone logo (dots moving). However it does ask for the password before that and every thing works there, after that it is stuck there forever, nothing happens.
Things I have already tried:
1) Flashing Stock Rom using the Stock Recovery
2) Clearing the Cache again
3) Flashing the updated Stock Rom (Pie)
Able to boot in to recovery and fastboot mode, however bootloader is LOCKED and ADB is DISABLED as well.
Is there any way to recover the data from the phone? It is important for a legal case, and I was not in the position to take the backup, sorry for that.
It would be very greatfull if some once can help me recover this important data or start the phone.
Or should I just go ahead and factory reset the phone?
