I have a Samsung Galaxy Star Duos GT-S5282. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery 5 and I was messing with it. I went to "mounts and storage" then chose format /sdcard and then rebooted the system.

It is stuck on the logo and restarting and isn't loading. How can I fix it?

  • Are you quite sure you didn't select format /system instead by accident? Did you have a custom ROM installed as well? If so, simply re-flashing the ROM image (and optionally gapps) should bring the phone back to normal.

  • No, definitely not normal. Flashing via Odin usually takes a few minutes. Try disconnecting the phone, re-connecting it and flash again.

  • And it will not get bricked on unplugging it during the process? @Chalk

  • Well, it can't get any worse than it already is. If Odin's been stuck for 4 hours, it's not going to finish at all. Most likely it hasn't even started the flashing process at all. Also, in order for Odin to even recognize your phone, it needs to be in Download mode, not Recovery.

I'm afraid you delete the whole system on your device, so that there is currently no rom to boot. What you can do now is to flash a rom. If you have an external SD card slot, then push your rom files and g-apps onto it and insert the card and flash via recovery. If your device does not have an external SD card slot or you do not have one, you have to flash the rom via adb. Here's a link to that: xda-Wiki I hope I understood you correctly and that it helps

  • I assume you already have a custom recovery installed, right? If so, I would not try to flash via Odin, but it's more than 1 year since I last used Odin, so I don't know for sure.

  • You need to flash a custom recovery in Odin. This should take about 5 seconds. Then you can use the recovery to flash your ROM. Alternatively you could Odin flash a Stock ROM (sammobile.com) which should only take a couple of minutes max.

I guess your phone is soft bricked. Try re-partitioning it with the pit file and flashing the original stock firmware. This will not take 4-hours.
