How long does TWRP data wipe in G2 802 takes? Wiping now and it is already 10mins. Is this normal? Little worried because when I wiped date in S3 it is fast. :crying:

Yes, that is normal. There were times when mine took more than ten minutes to execute the wipe. Creating a backup takes even longer. Don't panic. If you're doing everything right you'll be fine.

The title says it: My TPT is bootlooping and when I try to wipe the cahce/Dalvik-cache in recovery, it just won't finish.
I'm running ICS (OTA3), but the same thing has happened to me before with Honeycomb.
I don't want to wipe data! Any ideas?
You qualify for a new motherboard if you want it.
But that would not preserve my data
My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that once you start boot looping you need to have made great backups prior to the issue because all you can do is send it in for repair. Hopefully you have such backups if you have root.
Not good news so I hope I'm wrong. Wishing you luck.
I pulled some of the data via adb and then did a factory reset (in recovery). Now it boots again.
I just hope it won't happen again. This was the second time already: Once it started bootlooping in Honeycomb and now ICS. It just came out of nowhere (it booted up fine many times before).
Excellent news. Didn't think you could pull anything with adb while bootlooping. Should have tried that straight away.
I still could enter the recovery mode. Strangely, wiping cahe/dalvik cache alone didn't work (it wouldn't wipe), but wiping everything (which also includes dalvik cache) worked...
I still lost some important data, but at least my tablet works again. I just hope it won't start bootlooping again... but I'll definitely make sure to have an automatic backup solution set up just in case.
Good show. At least you're not bootlooping. Too bad about the data.
Hi,
I updated my P7510 to the official ICS rom the other day, and since then I have been having a problem.
If I leave the tab alone for a bit (on the charger or not), it powers off completely. And I don't just mean that you have to just press the button shortly to restart it, no I have to keep the power button pressed for ~10 seconds for it to boot to the loader (battery icon appears) and then press it again for a few seconds to actually boot ICS.
I have CWM 5.8.3.1 and I did a dalvik clean and a cache partition format, but it made no difference. I am a bit hesitant to do the full factory reset as that will clear all the storage and it will take some time to restore more then 20GB of data.
I have the official ICS and don't have that problem. I'm not rooted at this time and not using CWM so I assume it has something to do with that.
I have the same problem and mine is running stock, un-rooted.

did you do a factory reset as part of your upgrade?
I will probably do it a bit later, to see if it fixes this very annoying problem.
I bit the bullet and installed ICS on mine the other day. Mine is currently rooted with CWM and I am not experiencing that problem.
It did boot up after the install and I still had all my data and apps but chose to do a full wipe anyway just to be safe and start fresh. All I really lost was the music I had loaded and, other than the time it will take, that can be reinstalled w/o any problems.

If you wipe data through cwm, only apps will be deleted. /sdcard will remain untouched.

Yeah I noticed. I ended up doing a 'factory reset' and the /sdcard contents was untouched. And it seems to work better afterwords, although I did still encounter once that it had shut itself down.

Hello i have a serious problem
I have infinite bootloop in every ROM, every baseband/radio, and in stock. I tested the (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) and any of this works. I wiped the system/data/cache/dalvik a lot of times and installed the CM11 in 4.4 baseband but still not working.
The bootloader is unlocked and fastboot working well. I spent all the day testing solutions of my knowledge but dont work.
Any idea?

Have you tried just flashing the full factory images? Or booting TWRP via fastboot and looking at the results of a manual wipe to ensure all partitions are "good"? Often when I hear about an "infinite bootloop" on every rom, it means the internal storage is bad, sometimes flashing the factory images helps, and sometimes it's just time to put the poor thing to rest... :/

I solved it with a rare solution, i install the stock Android L wait for the bootloop and i press the power button until the phone power off later i restart and works and it works in every stock ROM. Sounds weird but works.

Definitely weird... How long are you waiting for this "bootloop"? The reason I ask is because the first boot on lollipop takes an extremely long time since it is ART, 10-15 minutes for first clean boot, or over 30 minutes with a dirty flash isn't unheard of, and the first boot doesn't give the "Android is updating", just the swirling circles, if you interrupted it you could have other issues later on.

I wait several times more than 10 minutes. I wipe data/cache after restart the phone. I found the solution in Google Forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/D2vKK9rLgh8[1-25-false]
You should only have to wipe /cache from recovery to get out of it. I believe wiping /data is unnecessary (so you can avoid losing your data if you are concerned.
Hi everyone,I got in deep serious **** while trying to decrpyt my Samsung S5, which is encrypted using its official settings app. It was showing android logo while decrypting for almost 2 and a half hours. Then I think the device froze since it was taking so long in comparison to encryption that apporximately take 15 minutes max. So I removed the battery and restarted it and UNLUCKILY got the message while starting that decyption interrupted, do Factory reset. Now whenever the TWRP recovery trying to wipe the data, it fails. IF ANYONE know how to restore the phone, Please tell me.
Thanks in advance :good:

try this twrp https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995296044 and if it is not working flashback stock recovery my old s4 fixed by stock recovery
It works
Flashed the TWRP recovery 3.0, and hey it really worked . Thanks :good:
The title says it all. I was having issues with errors and apps not responding or force closing, So I thought in would wipe the cache and Dalvik cache in TWRP, just in case there was something corrupted. Upon reboot, my battery life stayed at 65% when full charged, but would eventually charge to 100% when it was being used while charging. Now the batter dies in a very short amount of time! It happened, like that! No slow degradation, just boom! And it was done. Anyone have any ideas, or seen something similar with their Tab A 10.1?

I always wipe cache/dalvik when dirty flashing my rom updates and never had that problem.
I'm guessing you have a bad battery, otherwise it wouldn't have behaved as you described. If you're lucky it's just a glitch - try a few charge cycles :fingers-crossed:

It could be that something other than cache is corrupted. I'd try a factory reset after making sure OEM is enable in dev mode. In my experience, batteries don't go bad all of a sudden. Or, better yet, restore from TWRP backup. You do have a backup, don't you?

Never had a back up. All I did was root the tablet when root was first achieved a couple years ago. Should I try a system reset through TWRP or through the tablet itself? I ran it through the system, and lost root, and supposedly shouldn't have. Would I just be better off loading a new ROM through TWRP off the SD card? I'm sure I could find a stock OEM ROM on here somewhere, now at least. When I rooted the tablet, there was no aftermarket anything... Just the ability to root the device.

Rule of thumb, flash stock ROMs via odin and custom ROMs via TWRP. My choice would be a custom ROM and then BACKUP!!!:laugh:
edit: If you rooted the device a long time ago, that means you haven't been getting any updates. You may well be clear back on Android 6 while the latest custom ROMs are 10 and the latest stock is 8.1. You can get the latest stock with Frija, which is a free download.
I'll have to take a look on my SD card, I recall using Titanium backup, so I'll have to check. Do you have any recommendations? Warranty is gone, so I'll likely install a new ROM, I usually do once it's up anyway
I only browse Reddit, Facebook, a couple other social media apps and I'll play the odd game.
