Last night I wanted to wipe my cache partition, however when the screen comes up wasnt in recovery mode,therefore I pressed start, and I leave it to boot up. When I come back, it doesnt boot up, after 10 minutes. What should I do without losing any data from my phone? Will perform a wipe data/factory reset wipe all items in my internal storage?

I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

Thanks, now I can get in teamwin recovery and in bootloader I will try to fix the phone now. Have a nice day!
I was rooting with Odin and it started it's root process after I selected the proper files and when it went into reset, my phone did not start back on.
I restarted the phone and it shows recovery booting and shuts down. tried the boot loop fix to go into recovery mode, but it did not start back on. Any solutions for this please?

Hi all,
Would appreciate some guidance please.
I was preparing my phone to flash a custom ROM. In the process I wiped the data, wiped the cache, wiped the delvik cache, and accidently wiped the external SD card. So basically everything has been wiped.
Now my phone will not boot past the "Galaxy S 4" screen and will not boot into recovery mode either. When I press and hold the "volume down + home key + power key" to get into the download custom OS screen, that gets stuck at "Downloading...Do not turn off target."
When plugged into my computer, the USB won't open the external SD card.
What options do I have at this point?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Folks,
My Yu Yureka phone was stuck in bootloop so i tried to do softbrick. That is flashed the phone in fastboot mode, entered into recovery mode, choose wipe data and factory reset. When it was wiping the data some how in the middle screen went blank and from then the phone does not boot. Pressed Vol up +down + power button and nothing happens. So i belive the entire data on phone including the OS is wiped out. Now how do i install fresh OS into it? Any idea ?
So I've wiped the Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System, but I forgot to flash before rebooting. Now it's stuck in the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen and everytime I tried resetting to recovery mode it would turn off then turn back on at the same screen. ADB is not detecting the devices also. Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?

Boot into bootloader by holding down vol down and power together. The timing can be a little tricky when it is stuck or looping. Hold power until the screen goes dark and it tries to reboot, usually about 8 seconds. Then let go and immediately hit vol down + power together. Hold them until the bootloader screen comes up, should be pretty fast. Might take a few tries to get the technique down with it bootlooping.
From there you can flash firmware directly with fastboot, or boot it into TWRP to flash something from recovery. If TWRP fails to boot for some reason then fastboot flash it again.
It should not be a brick just from wiping everything. Well, just a soft brick anyway.
Thanks!
I was able to get into recovery!!
