Okay, so I was listening to a YouTube video via Popup Browser BETA. When the song finished, I tried closing the window, but it wouldn't let me interact with the window. Not sure why. I just figured since the app was in beta it was just confused, so I went to the settings->running applications->I force closed the app. But for some reason, the little window still wouldn't go away. So I decided to reboot my device. Bad idea, apparently...
Now whenever I boot up my phone it'll vibrate, display the Google logo for a few seconds, and then... it goes to a blank black screen. Not a clue why. I've tried:
- Leaving it to charge and rebooting
- Leaving it in the blank black screen
- Booting into recovery, then trying to reboot the device from there
- Clearing cache partition
Nothing works. I still can't boot up my phone again.
I'm running Slimbean 4.2.1 (not the latest version). There really isn't anything that might have triggered this. I can still charge my phone (the charging animation still occurs) and I can still go into CWM Recovery. I'd really rather not have to install a new ROM or anything... but if I have to, is there a way to extract the data I have on my phone now while in recovery or something?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This has been FIXED. Moderators, if you see this, you can close this thread. If anyone else has this problem, try reflashing your current version of your ROM, that's how I fixed mine. I'm not responsible for damage to your device.
Why haven't you tried reflashing your rom without wiping data?

I could try that.. but isn't there a chance it'll corrupt the data for certain apps or no? I'd just really rather not loose all of that.

It's not going to hurt anything. Make a CWM backup of your data if you want.

No way of corrupting your data, as long as you don't select to wipe data partition or data is already corrupted. But this is strange that your phone gone crazy like this. Try to reflash your rom without wiping data and see if your phone will boot up

I've not got enough free space on my phone I don't think (it's only 16GB, I got about 2GB free).
Unless I'm mistaken the backup will take more than that, yes? Considering I've got a few games apps that probably equate to about 4GB.

Reflash the same version you were running before this accident, as the newest version requires clean flash. If you want to run the latest version and have your data back, reflash the same version you were running before, then backup your data, wipe phone, flash the latest version and restore your data

WOO! Thanks a lot! Booted up perfectly, and no loss of data or anything like that. Only odd things is it seems to have changed my DPI... but I can change that easily so it's not really a bother. It also made me have to update the Virus Definitions on Avast!, not sure why either.

Found a stock image for Odin. If this works I'm really dumb and sorry for wasting your time lol... I'd just like to know what happened to make it FC like crazy so I learn from my mistake.
Hope that will work - usually its not good to flash a ROM over another one without wiping data and cache first. That could be why you're having issues. Odin should do the trick though to get you back to stock.

You must uninstall Voodoo before you flash anything new or create a backup. Go to the development section to the "how to remove voodoo" sticky, Download the uninstaller and follow directions.

Did you upgrade to 3.2? It was a problem on 3.2. I had the same issue. Check out the smoothrom thread there are some solutions there. Sounds like the only one that works is to start completely fresh and install 3.3.

I have an issue like this too.
I cant download through anything that uses the download manager, this started happening after i flashed stock 4.1.2, and is persistent with other roms. Tried downloading through tubemate, rom manager, and some download manager on the market, all work fine. Try to download with xda or the browser, failure. I have 8gb free and have tried it on paranoid android an stock 4.1.2. I've also tried clearing the download manager data, didnt help.

I fixed the problem. It took a complete system format as in wiped HD clean as well.
I backed up the HD to my laptop first and then took back all the files I needed after installing Smoothrom 3.4 using JROM tool.
Just made a titanium back up of everything again and all is well.

No worries. when you make the back up to your computer, you can copy your titanium backup files back to the formatted drive and then it wont be as time consuming for you. Just dont copy system settings
Pm me if you have any problems, I will help you if I can.

On AOKP 4.2.1 the phone app crashes when I receive a call. I've reflashed a fresh downloaded GAPPS on here and it does the same thing. When coming to this ROM I wiped all data and factory reset everything. I've tried that again and it's still doing this. Starting to get on my nerves. Anyone have this problem?

I did a clean install and manually installed all of my apps again. I managed to fix it by dirty flashing the 4.2 version of AOKP. However; my phone still has that random reboot issue. The thing that's odd is, when it comes back online it loses it's settings. So I'll have to setup Google Wallet and Google Voice again. My keyboard goes back to the default AOSP one.
I think I might just RMA this phone and start over. I do love it, and the negatives don't outweigh the positives.
rma? dont.
wipe that thing clean with a factory reset. all your problems will be gone. then, if you like, start trying out roms again.
but bugging lg and nexus because you trashed your phone, thats not so cool. i can kinda understand samsung tries hard to lock their bootloaders sometimes.
links here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz
theres a batch file inside, make sure fastboot is around and click it (you must be in fastboot mode aswell). in a couple of seconds youre back to stock.

Um... I had the problem on stock 4.2 as well, factory from Google themselves. It rebooted at random for no reason. I have wiped everything... multiple times. It's still doing it.
same thing happened to me this whole week. I have been flashing custom ROM custom this whole week. People have been texting saying my phone dont work. I called in to re-fresh with TMobile network and still the same thing. I also got a new micro sim card still the same. i have to revert back to stock with root in order for the phone calls to work. i have been searching for a fix.

I thought it was the MicroSIM too - I got a brand new one with them, but nope - it's been all strange. Do you have 4.2 Stock rooted anywhere? I can only seem to find 4.2.1. I just wiped everything, restored factory etc etc and threw stock 4.2.1 on here, got the reboot issue. Phone has been working lately finally. I had to dirty flash AOKP 4.2.1 build-1 over build-2.

I have a quick question. When switching ROMs should I also in addition to factory reset, also perform a system/wipe to wipe the already installed custom ROM? Thanks.
It is generally unnecessary, but not a bad idea to do so. Most devs have their updater script format /system, but you'll find the occasional one that omits that one line.

I think it's better to wipe the system. As I've faced many kind of froblem because of a dirty flash. And I've seen many bug reports on several ROM thread and it just came out that it's not the ROM but the dirty flash is causing the problem. It will probably take 1-2hr to get back to the previous position so what's the big didfference??

OK. So when switching ROMs I should perform factory restore, wipe all caches, as well as system/wipe to erase the ROM currently installed. I have done it that way before but I always get nervous when I wipe system, cause now it has no ROM installed at all and I don't want anything to happen in that case. But thanks for the quick reply

What could happen?? Hardbrick?? A little chance..... Here's what I think when I do something risky. Just Think like I don't have any device if I can get this device back it's bonus for me.
You can always flash a rom whatever it has one or not untill your device can be booted into fastboot. So don't be afraid if something bad(!?) happens and you can boot into fastboot mode. Once I even had no boot just the fastboot it took less than 5 min to get a system on it.
And dirty flash is always an option. I myself had and seen many people having problems with it.
_________________________________________
Don't just say thank, there is a button for thnking.
Clean is always the best! But always make a backup before the wipe process!
Wipe:
/system
/userdata
/.android-secure
/dalvik-cache
/cache

When I meant started over I was yes referring to the booting to recovery and then wiping/formatting everything, then reflashing a ROM. That works, but I just am nervous now because the issue persists no matter the ROM. Sometimes it takes a day or two or sometimes it happens even quicker than that. I think it might be Facebook so I am not installing that app again. Why FB works on my Nexus 7 tablet and my wife's phone just fine is beyond me.
I didn't know I can make a backup of systemui.apk and restore it to make it work. I wish we could find the main issue to begin with so we can resolve this once-and-for-all.

Yea I backup everything on my external hard drive (that after I back anything up I bubble wrap and put in my fire safe< a bit paranoid) every week, so that if anything happens I can just wipe it clean and start fresh (I have never used rsd lite but I'm guessing its somewhat like option one of Matt's utility) that restores your phone to a moto flashed like state... ready to be sold as a certified like new device (as Verizon would call it)...

Are you mounting system in TWRP, before you wipe data? For some reason, I stopped doing this when I updated to the newer TWRP. There was a thread on here where someone said they mounted prior to wiping and it solved their 4.3 issues. I tried it and it worked for me. I would suggest you try the same.
