Hey, huge NOOb here, and first time using this!
I was trying to flash my ROM for the first time, and of course I ran into some problems :S
Anyway, the phone just keeps restarting, never reaching the loading screen. I can however still access the bootloader screen when I hold down the volume down button and back button, and when I try to reload the stock ROM that I got from http://uploaded.to/?id=ma0u71, it only reaches 89% before the RUU program enters the recovery mode. Once I attempt to recover the device and run the RUU again it makes it to 89% and stops once again..
Any ideas/guides as to how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance, this has become a huge problem, and any help on the subject is much appreciated.
ummm did you unlock your phone successfully? if so then make sure you have the correct rom for your device. also try to hard reset first and if you can get into your phone make sure you format your memory
Yeah I figured out the problem, I just had to acquire the stock ROM from Bell and then reflash it with that one. Thanks for the reply tho, I really appreciate it!
Trying to help a friend out with her G1 issues. The phone turns on but when it gets to ANDROID boot screen, the red light flashes and it cuts off . The phone is fully-charged. This phone is stock, no root, she has no idea how to do any of that. The last thing she did was a simple data wipe. I was hoping that there is some kind of RSDLite/SBF-like utility for the G1 that restores it from a bricked state.
Any help is appreciated.
Sorry in advance if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it if desired.
Can you get into bootloader (camera+power) or recovery (home+power)?
Yeah I can do both.
I'm new to sgs and android,so hopefully this is a noob problem and easily fixed and not something more complex.I've searched and read alot of posts and not found another problem similar,so maybe someone can help.
Got the phone recently and flashed Darkys v7.0 and very impressed by the rom.
Basically my incoming calls dont show up,when an incoming call happens,i get a vibrate and some sort of notification flashes on the screen for an instant then disappears,then my network signal drops out.
I've tried another sim and different service provider,same problem which indicates some issue with phone,have triple checked all my settings in call settings,answering is enabled.
I can make calls,sent and recieve sms messages and connect to net/mail via my 3g,so cant figure out whats going on.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Unfortunately, same thing here with me. First, I flashed 7,5 and the problem appeared. This mornig I put new rom 7.6 but still problem remains. Everything works, but incoming calls dont. Im trying to capture message that flashes quickly, but with no sucess...
SOLVED!!!
Factory reset did the thing. Calls are incoming as they should. (setings->privacy->factory reset)
Hope it will work for you.

Hey i have tried this and have possibly bricked my phone as all im getting is the Galaxy power up screen and nothing else,tried to get into recovery and nothing,ah well my android fun maybe over,might just get an iphone,seems a bit simpler for a knuckledragger like me
I really doubt that factory reset coud brick phone. Try to boot in recovery/download mode with 3button combination (hope you have it) and flash new ROM.

try to flash speedmod recovery on your phone, do the most recent stable version, once you get into recovery you can see if it truly is bricked, if you get the common SD error then it is bricked but if it's complaining about some data missing your still in luck.
check out what to do here....i posted about this a while back also if you want to look at my past posts.....

I had exactly the same problem; installed Darkys 7.5 after which I couldn't receive any calls anymore, did a factory reset and got bricked. 3button to recovery didn't work on my phone, but luckily I live close to a Samsung service center where they reflashed my phone.
I am curious what was causing this. If it is solved I would like to try the rom again, cause it looked great.

Hey currently all im getting is the yellow triangle sign with the android logo cleaning up and it says ''Downloading'' and on the bottom it says ''Do not turn off target'' that just stays like that for hours and nothing
Now i never had the 3 way download button working or checked,i pretty much did CWM and flashed darkys right after buying the phone.
When i try to get into CWM all i get is the Samsung Galaxy S gt i9000 start up screen and nothing.
Thanks for your help
I have the same problem excecpt I flashed "leap in the dark". Will factory reset erase all my data? If so are there any other options
Its really pissing me off.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i now decided to flash darkys 7.7
same problem
Hi guys,
Im new here and I wanted to post this in the FEAR developement thread, but for some reason I cant, anyway
Im on FEAR 8.0 and it has been running smothly. Today somehow my whatsapp, facebook etc always was forced to shut down when I tried to open it. So I rebooted an now Im stuck on the LG screen. Sometimes it freezes there, sometimes it reboots to the LG screen again!
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Well, seems that the system (Android) has crashed on your phone due to some unknown reason.
The only thing you can do is to do a factory reset (from ClockwordMod Recovery which I assume you have installed).
Yes I think I have it installed, but how does that help me if I cant access the phone anymore? Is there a manual for the reset process?
Is there no way to get the data off the phone, because that would suck big time
Go back to stock rom, search my thread to see how!
At the moment the ROM is not really my concern!
The only concern is my data!
I need a way to get it
Update:
Installed FEAR 10 without full wipe and everything is still there and running
so i took a 2nd attempt to flash another rom using a different recovery as recommended and i messed something up real bad and i have no clue what i did wrong nor have i ever had this happen. i changed from twrp to reg old cwm recovery and now my vivid boots up and turns off, boots back up and stays on the white htc screen. i tried flashing different kernals and now i cant even get into cwm. as it boots into recovery, it blinks as i can see one line of text and barely any of the logo its so quick.
so how the hell do i fix this? ill unroot my phone and factory reset it back to non rooted status.
anyone know how can avoid this?
oh and im s on.
i believe htc has software that resets your phone. anyone care to share a direct link? i had it before and i cant find it. i want to unroot my phone anyway cause battery life sucks, even setcpu does nothing and i just a BRAND NEW OEM htc battery and still drains like counting down seconds.
thanks
