Bricked phone because of clear cache in recovery options! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on a Note 3 actually, but was hoping the more populated board here would be more knowledgeable & The Samsung android recovery options should all be the same?
People said the clear cache option in recovery mode was 100% safe & will speed up your system. Did it & my phone is bricked!
I hit clear cache & then selected reboot & I got these messages
"Process system isn't responding
do you want to close it?"
Then I get several more pop ups one by one
"unfortunately, MTP app stopped
unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped
unfortunately, Settings has stopped
unfortunately, Touchwiz home has stopped
unfortunately, Google play services has stopped"
Can't boot to menu at all & it just loops there
I went back to recovery mode I have these options to choose from:
-apply update from adb
-apply update from external storage
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-apply update from cache
WILL any of them fix the problem OTHER THAN WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET?

If you have a external sdcard inside phone, remove & try.

Unfortunately i think only the factory reset is your best bet in that case
Unless you've had any luck with anything else.

i dont think it was because of the clear cache option in recovery, something must have triggered the mass force close of all the apps. best bet is wether to factory reset the phone and if it still fails, flash stock firmware using odin.

Yeah, I eventually gave up & did a factor reset.
The only thing I can think of that might have cause any problems with the clear cache is I did root the phone.

the dbdata file is corrupted.
1) download this file
http://forum.xda-dev...98&d=1290261479
2) extract it
3) use Odin to flash it under the PDA option
-make sure repartition is UNCHECKED
-do not select any pit file
-leave everything else the same
hi, i got a question, maybe its stupid but i've tried searching and cant find it anywhere.
so my hermes 2.0.1 tab p1000 is under my Google account. and since i've bought the P7500, i'm trying to give the p1000 to my wife. made some google account for her.
the problem:
- i've reset to factory default, no luck (through settings)
- i've reset to factory default, usb format no lick (through settings)
- i've wiped through recovery CWM. still no luck
basically after all above, my programs are still there, my account is also there, and now my tab wont show the flight mode, and data mode when pressed power.. only show the overcome added menu (reboot, recovery, etc)
so any lights on this? should i reflash? i'm confused because all my stuffs is still there in the tab... and i want to clean it up.. hopefully without resorting to reflash.
How are you going into recovery? When the tab is off, hold in power, hold volume up, when you see samsung let go of power. The factory reset will take out everything.
When you reboot, the set up screens should be confirmation of a complete wipe.
Or you could flash the wipe version of overcome rom.
sorry my bad..
i just pressed the recovery option in tab menu.
then it shows different kind of recovery menu... (blue color)
when i do power+up it shows an orange color cwm.. and this one works.. sorry for thetrouble
It's no trouble, it's a good discovery.

Wipe system, apps, cache, dalvik-cache, and then flash a stock rooted ROM using CWM.

Yep, that'll do it.
But, considering they may install the same rom again, they may get by with just Cache and Dalvik, while saving user data.
At least I'd go that route first, and if it doesn't fix it, then nuke it all.

[Q] Dalvik Cache doesn't exist

I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved, just flashed the stock SBF. But is that the only solution?

Keyboard prediction and spell correction not working

My word prediction are broken. The only thing that every appears are words I've previously typed and punctuation. Under samsung keyboard settings Predictive text is on, and auto complete and spell correction are both checked under the Predictive Text settings. Does anyone know a fix? I'm rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756885 with the STOCK rooted, not stripped version. Anyone know of a fix or is experiencing a similar issue? Is it not able to connect with the spell check server because of root?

I'm having the same issue. I'm on the GS3 SCH-i535 and had initially flashed the stripped version. I did attempt to flash the deodexed stock version which also experienced the same autocorrect/spellcheck symptoms. Additionally, my T9Keyboard draws the lines but does not generate input.
Each time I have restored, or flashed a new ROM, I wipe the cache, wipe the dalvik cache, and fix permissions.
I also installed ROM manager and used that to re-flash CWM. After I flashed CWM from ROM manager I am unable to mount the external SD card which is mounted in /mnt/extSdCard. When I select Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache on the yes screen I receive an error "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]", however, when I reboot I receive a screen: "Android is upgrading X of 61" leading me to believe that the dalvik cache has been wiped.
Interestingly, when I create a backup in CWM it defaults to a date of 1970-01-03.<Current Time>, if I start the backup from ROM manager it defaults to the current date/time.
I did remove my SD card and perform a factory reset (on the stripped version), then wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions, when the phone boots, messaging just crashes. attempting to open messaging, the app starts to open, hangs for a few seconds, and then crashes presenting the error "Unfortunately, messaging has crashed". Restoring from backup fixes the crashing messaging. Odd that a factory reset causes messaging to crash.

Did some digging and found mention of these issues here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28682782#post28682782 (Post number 421...) Seems the "root66" rom fixes the issue?
----------------------
Ok, I did flash the root66 ROM and it does fix the dictionary problem, but you'll have to install root manager and strip out the bloat manually (unless someone has a better recommendation)

I am having the same issue, after I did a factory reset. My device will boot into the AT&T setup screen but the settings menu crashes and I cant get out of it.

I am having a very similar issue as well. I have the Sprint version - SPH-L720 - and I rooted it using Motochopper. Everything was fine and great and wonderful, but after I downloaded and installed a font installer from the play store, it seems to be softbricked. I can get into Download mode and Recovery mode just fine. I have wiped the phone twice now -- but every time I just try to wipe the cache, it says there is an error and reboots.
I applied the Chainfire Auto-Root too (successfully) and it still stays stuck on the Sprint screen.
I'm guessing I won't be able to fix this issue until the firmware is leaked... but I am crossing my fingers and hoping that someone has a solution sooner.
Since the last update still can't do a wipe cache
