[Q] Bricked phone trying to clear cache partition? HELP!

I'm on a Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Sprint model with Lolipop version 5.
So I went into Recover Mode & selected the wipe cache option, after spending several hours reading older posts here about how this is a good thing & is just spring cleaning & will do no harm to your phone & might even speed up your phone.
I selected it & then I selected reboot & then promptly got an error message on the dead droid icon & then this message :
"Process system isn't responding
do you want to close it?"
THEN I get several more pop ups
unfortunately, MTP app stopped
unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped
unfortunately, Settings has stopped
unfortunately, Security log agent stopped
unfortunately, Touchwiz home has stopped
unfortunately, Google play services has stopped
I get those messages over & over again, can't log in at all.
How screwed am I?
How can I fix it without doing a factory reset again?
EDIT
in the recovery meni i have these options now
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
at the bottom is
# manual mode #
-- applying multi-csc..
applied the csc-code: spr
Successfully applied multi-csc.
What do I do?
You are not root...in your recovery that s stock message....factory reset and voila.....or flash stock odin
I think I was on root because I was able to use Titanium Backup & uninstall preloaded apps.
Is there no other way other than factory reset?
What about
-apply update from adb
-apply update from external storage
-apply update from cache
Can they fix the problem?

Retrieving files from Note 3 which doesn't boot

Hello, please help
I have Samsung Note 3 with custom Omega ROM.
Today I had constant errors "Process com.android.systemui has stopped". The phone was not usable.
I tried to clear cache, no success. Then I wiped /data and /system, which resulted in the phone not booting anymore. A mistake, I know.
I would like to fix the situation or, if I have to install the new system anyway, just to download all the user files (photos etc.) from Internal memory of the phone to my PC via the USB cable. But the phone is not booting anymore.
How to do that?
Flash stock rom via Odin see stickies .
You may lose some files .
just flash official firmware by odin, don't worry you will not lose your data (music, photos, ...). now after finishing and optimizing apps the phone will restart. if you see black screen then flash twrp and select wipe then swipe the arrow. don't chose advanced wipe. now reboot
after all that if you still want omega rom, no problem just download the latest version and before flashing in twrp do advanced wipe and check all options except internal storage & sd card
i tried all that on my n9005.

Save internal storage from i9505 software brick/stuck on bootlogo

Hello,
since one week my device, a samsung galaxy s4 i9505, is software bricked and stuck on bootlogo and I've been tryin to save my internal storage, but I'm close to giving up. I hope someone here can help me.
My situation:
1. Updated my TWRP to version 3.0.1-0-jfltexx with odin 3.10.0
2. Flashed new ROM "OMEGA ROM", that worked good.
3. Backup with TWRP, successfull, reboot, galaxy logo appears, flash, again -> bootloop
4. Flashed firmware "i9505XXUHOB8" BL and modem, with odin 3.10.0 in BL and CP
5. No bootloop anymore, but stuck on ROM Logo with normal start and with recovery start blue text "recovery booting..." on galaxy screen but nothing happens.
6. Saw that TWRP 2.8.7.0-i9500 is the recommended TWRP for the i9505, flashed the .img.tar with odin 3.09 in AP (is the .img a problem?) but still same problem, with TWRP 2.8.6.0-i9500.tar too.
6. Tried different firmwares: i9505XXUHOB7, i9505XXUHOF2, i9505XXUHOJ4 -> I thought the problem is the bootloader -> odin error: complete (write) operation failed or NAND write error (->problem was usb port)
7. Tried different odin versions: 1.85, 3.10.6, 3.09
8. Tried different usb cables
9. Flashed cf-auto-root to mount the data partition, but theres no option. Recovery mode is now working, but the samsung recovery, not TWRP.
10. Tried to copy internal storage with ADB, can navigate the directory but can't pull or cd /storage/sdcard0 -> no such file or directory, same with /mnt/sdcard (ADB only works during the ROM logo)
11. Flashed stock samsung firmware "i9505XXUHOJ2_i9505AUTHXXUHOJ1_i9505XXUHOJ2" with odin 3.09 -> now stuck on samsung boot logo. My ROM is now deleted, right?
12. Wipe cache don't help
13. Could wipe data/factory reset or repartition with odin but then I will lost my internal storage.....
I have a backup from the successfull backup with TWRP, but can't open the data.ext4.win001 after rename it (the .win000 is ok)....
Can anyone help me or have an idea how can I save my data and repair the system?
-Mr.Tea
use TWRP to copy files from internal storage over to external SDcard for stuff you wanna keep.
if you manage to backup the data partition you're supposed to be able to extract apps and data from a nandroid with titanium backup pro (never tried it though).
this data you wanna save, if it wasn't created while running omega rom then it wasn't likely to work with it anyway. that could be the source of your bootloops. if that data came from a previous custom rom then try to go back to it, and if successful backup apps with titanium and files to SDcard. you can't keep your data partition and go into a new rom with it.
if the data came from a stock rom you'll loose it trying to go back so extracting from a nandroid is probably your best bet there or restoring once back to stock.

TWRP is not working anymore -> blue text "Recovery booting..." on galaxy logo
In many forums they mean TWRP backup not includes the internal storage (/sdcard partition)?!
Can extract my "data.ext4.win000" and "data.ext4.win001" but not find the /sdcard location or my userdata.

try TWRP 3.0.0 by JDCteam, hundreds of happy users there. if it works first time make sure to try backing up your data partition and then wiping it. you can copy your media storage with the built-in file browser as mentioned.
you've got bigger problems if it's not data causing your problems...

Moto E3 Power Stuck on a Boot Screen
If you accept that you do it at your own risk, you can try
First please a make full backup to SD card before you starting.
1 st method
Go to TWRP & try to install Open gapps or Full Dynamic GApps zip package & reboot
2 nd method
First, make a full backup of all data that you have in your phone using TWRP.
In the second step, upload the stock firmware ( using SP Flash Tool ) and run phone until see welcome screen with the language choice.
Now using fastboot - make: oem unlock, flashing unlock, flash recovery twrp.img & format user data.
After then run TWRP and make a copy of current system ( data, boot & system )
Restore the copy from the SD card without wiping the system base.

ZE601KL No OS installed! (TWRP)

Hi all,
Recently it's been restarting every once in a while.
I have TWRP installed, so I went into recovery mode and factory data reset my device to start fresh of course backing up all my data.
But me being the cleverclogs went into Wipe -> Advanced Wipe and selected all the boxes thinking it will do a proper cleanout (Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, Micro SDCard). But when I try to reboot it there's a msg saying "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?".
When restarting the phone it just goes back to ASUS IN SERCH OF INCREDIBLE
How can I install the stock ROM or I might even try custom ROMS (any recommendations?). I haven't installed a custom ROM since the Samsung Galaxy II days so I'm a complete noob again.
I have two Rom in the Internal Memory, one Asus stock and one of LianogenOS 16, but when trying to install, in both they give me the same error, MD5 NOT FOUND
I have copied the two ROMs into a micro SD, but it is not shown with the TWRT File Explorer
I am trying to send a ROM to Internal Memory with ADB push from Minimal Adb but it gives me an error.
Maybe I could install an .img ROM from Fastboot Mode?
Where can I find any?
Thanks for your help.
