[Q] Help! Black screen and vibrate every 2min

Im pretty new to androids and I installed the Battery Icon Mod without realising that I could harm my phone. Now on reboot it gets passed the "S" screen but just sits there with a black screen and vibrates every 2 min.
Im a bit unsure what to do from here.
The details of my phone are:
Build#FROYO.DTJP5
BaseBand I9000DTJP3
PDA: TJP5
Phone: DTJP3
CSC OPSJP4
Build:2010.11
Austrailian, Optus Network.
I recently reverted from recovery 3e to 2e (no clockwork Recovery) and did the fix to enable the 3 button recovery (Im very glad I did this now!!). I also got root with z4root and have a full app and system backup on my sdcard with Titanium backup
I dont know too much about the details of flashing (Although I was learning as much as possible as I wanted to apply the z4mod with EXT2 lagfix).
What should I try first to minimise damage and get back to as stock as possible?
edit:
I should just add that I have gone to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and found what I believe to be my firmware I9000DTJP5|2.2|2010 November listed under USA, would this be the same? I have also downloaded the CSC file which dosent seem to include my version (Do i even need to flash this file??)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help but that didnt work
Went into the recovery and chose "wipe data/factory reset"
Still got black screen and intermittent vibrating. When I press the back button I also get vibration.
Do I need to flash? If so what files do I need to flash? Just the PDA?

Flash stock rom with odin. Search these forums for the stock optus rom or download 2.1 jg4 from samfirmware to get your phone up and running then flash jp5 again.

Hi I've got exactly the same problem as you and I recover it by re-flashing a stock filmware with Odin.You might want to follow this link on how to do it?Hope it helps!Cheers!

Thanks guys! I reflashed jg4 then updated with Kies to get froyo! I tried reflashing jp5 but it didnt have the optus apps, so I flashed back to jg4 then used Kies.
Thanks!

Did I screw my galaxy s? Restore Operation?

Hey all!
I hope I can get a fast reply, since my time online is limited.
Anyways, i had darkys rom 9.5 installed and i decided to switch on voodoo lagfix. When i went for a system reboot i would see the samsunga galaxy S logo and the words "Restore Operation" being repeated over and over without progress, i took out the battery. I tried switching it on again several times without success
So the question:
Is my galaxy S considered garbage now or what should I do?
Is it over? Im so into android phones and i was trying to actually put money aisde and thought i would not be seeing another android phone for a year or 2. So I guess i will go for a new one if that is really the case, but that is not the point of this thread anyway sorry for drifting away.
Anyways, thanks for the answer in advance, greatly appreciated

Can you get in recovery mode and bootloader mode?
If so desable any lagfix if you got it
Enabled.Then flash an official rom

Thanks a lot for responding
Well, i tried getting into recovery mode without success . I am able to get into the download mode though, if that is of any help.
As for bootloader? What is that?
Once again thanks for the fast response..
EDIT: So does that mean my phone is now a helpless case? Or is there any way around it?
I found a thread via google where a user had a similar problem. Only difference being that he was on darkys rom 9.2, where as i am on 9.5.
I believe the procedure would be the same, but im really new to all of this and before completely wrecking this phone i would rather see what people here have to say to it.
He couldnt boot his phone and recovery mode didnt work, however , just like in my case, download mode works. He was told to flash 9.2 Resurrection edition onto his phone and it seems as though everything had gone well for him.
Would me doing the same thing perhaps solve my problem?
Only one question remains, how do i flash a rom? I followed this guide, very simply.. pretty much made for dummies, haha.
darkyrom.co m/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-darkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/
How exactly do i flash 9.5 extreme edition onto my phone again? The only program i recall using is odin 1.3, but that was in order to flash a kernal onto my phone.
I believe this is the rom i'm using: Darky's ROM Extreme Edition 9. I just do not know how to flash it, according to the guide i had to upload it to my phone, boot my phone in recovery mode and select the zip file and BAM! Now,however, i only have access to download mode. Meh. . .
Anyways, before i pull off a stupid stunt i would like to get some confermation before proceeding.
Thank you

Yeah, you have download mode, so recovering through Odin is possible. You could flash a stock rom or darky's resurrection. That guide you linked looks fine to me.

How though? The guide states that i need to put darky's rom onto my phone. Then i need to get into recovery mode (which i no longer have access to) and install it

Darky's resurrection seems like the best course for you since, as the name implies, it was created to bring phones back from similar situations.
Just follow the directions EXACTLY...and good luck.

Sir yes sir, i will give it a shot
Thank you for replying, i will post back the reesults asap
EDIT: oh .. this is something i cannot do:
"
2. Disable all lagfixes by going into the Recovery. Disable both normal and /system lagfixes. This is a must."
proceed with darky resurrection anyway?
EDIT2: Another problem popped up:
2. Wipe/Factory Reset phone. This is required. Turn off phone and then boot into Recovery (Vol UP+Home Key+the Power Button.). Select the 'wipe data/factory reset' option (using Power button if on custom ROM/custom kernel, or the Home key if on stock I9000 firmware). Then select Yes to do it.
i followed darky resurrection's guide up to the part 7, (after flashing with odin). After the reboot i was supposed to get an error:
7. After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
However, the phone reboots in my case but just repeats the same error over and over.
Samsung galaxy logo appears and a robotic female voice keeps repeating : "Restore Operation"
I have no way to proceed to part two as i cannot access recovery mode
I guess it is over?

No one can help anymore?

I'm not sure but have you tried reflashing the kernel? do it through odin, a lot of time it can fix it just by doing that. If that works then go ahead and flash darkyy resurrection. Almost everyone is able to bring their phone back to life using his 9.2 method
Hope this works for you. Even if out doesn't don't worry because as long as you can get into download mode someone here will be able to provide more in depth solution. Try the irc in darkyy forum see if stone there can help you

Flash a stock 3 file firmware available from samfirmware.com with .pit file and re-partition ticked
This should put your phone back to stock completely, once you have done this it will be as you got it from the box
Then you can start again to install Darkys
Update
Haha I have just done the same thing except I was disabling lag fix, done the above and it does work!

[Q] Scrambled TV-like screen during boot or in CWM Recovery

Hello everybody. First of all, I'm quite new to the whole android world as I got my Galaxy S only three months ago. But I want to take full advantage of it's power so I decided to root it quite quickly. And now I had stumbled upon a problem and had no luck in finding a solution. That's the reason for this thread.
I went through other topics in this forum and it seems no one ever had a problem like this.
I've installed a RomKitchen custom XXJVB rom with Chainfire's kernel (CF Root XW XEE JVB v3.1 CWM3RFS) according to the instructions provided there - I flashed CWM 2.5 with Odin, then updated from CWM Recovery to Gingerbread.
In general, after doing this, everything works fine, the phone got super-fast, no issues there. However, now, during boot the screen displays a TV-like scrambled signal (like white noise... only it isn't white). It's hard to explain so I attached a picture.
It's like the whole screen is covered in coloured pixels. Sometime's a line of pixels moves. A similar thing happens when I try to boot into recovery - it boots but the display is all scrambled. The recovery menu works (when I use the volume buttons the pixels on the screen change their position) but I can't see a thing.
I tried virtually every solution I could think of - I wiped everything, did a factory reset, installed everything again. Still the same. When I revert to stock Froyo 2.2.1 this doen't happen anymore. But I prefer Gingerbread over Froyo.
So, have anyone here seen a similar problem and knows how to fix this? I would be very grateful for any pointers
EDIT: Silly me, guess I haven't searched hard enough :/ It seems I'm missing the new bootloaders.

Yeah, that's it.
Flash JVB stock with bootloader. Load your cooked rom onto internal sd card. Then flash the speedmod kernal in Odin with auto reboot unchecked. Pull the battery, then boot the phone into recovery, and flash your cooked rom.

strange problem with charging, bootloop, pls help

Hi,
I rooted my note some weeks ago and I was searching the web, reading all kind of threads and thinking what the problem might be for the last weeks. Finally I decided to register myself on xda and to post my problem.
Like mentioned before I rooted my note via CMW and then flashed a franco kernel, unfortunally I dont know which version, but no custom rom. It all worked fine for 14 maybe 16 hours, then the phone froze after opening a app and after that it stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I tried to enter recovery but it didn't work, I can enter downloadmode but I ran out of battery before I could do anything.
Now the phone keeps turning itself on and off the whole time when I try to charge it, the battery image comes for like 1 second and after that the screen turns black again. The battery itself is new so that shouldnt be the problem. I charged it like that for like 4 hours and then tried to enter downloadmode but it only says "battery to low to download".
I hope it is not a hardware problem. If anybody has a idea please help me, I am getting desperate.

EDIT: I came from offical 4.0.4 ICS

How old is your phone? Try with another good battery.
Suggestion: you may flash gb via PC Odin and check phone back to normal.

I got my phone last april, so it is not even a year old, but I got a new battery some days before rooting it... I'll try/have to get another one anyway.
Could you give me a link for a stock gb rom please.
Thank you for your quick reply.

Kindly go thru Guru 'drketan' threads and posts.

Found it. Should I use a rom with three parts or with only one? And can I use any rom or one with a special "code" that suits my device, e.g. german....
And just flash the rom and then fullwipe or is wiping not necessary?
I am sorry for the questions but I want to do everything right.

You can use any. Wipe in GB recovery.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday I finally found somebody to charge my battery, today I flashed a GB stock rom, but I still can`t get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Note logo... It worked one time but I turned the phone off to insert my sim card and it got stuck again.
I tried flashing with pit file and bootloader as well, but no luck.
Could it be a hardware problem? Could a J-tag repair fix it?
Thanks in advantage.

Now your on safe GB rom, enter recovery wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvick cache.
Let's know the result

I tried, but I am not able to enter recovery... I press volume up + home + power but I only get the N7000 logo. I have read that you have to press the home button in the right moment to enter stock recovery, could somebody tell if that is true and if yes when do I have to press?

Anyone an idea please? I can enter download mode but not recovery, I downgraded to gb 2.3.6.KK5, I flashed abyss 4.2 but I can get to recovery mode or past the GT N7000 logo. Three times it got to the "package installing" page and one time it even started then I switched it off to insert my sim card and again stuck at the N7000 logo.
I need help please...

You have to press the three button combo "a long time" and the power button should be the last one to use.
I always wait until the Samsung Logo appeared 2 times and I see the next animation (depends on your kernel/recovery).
So please try again and hold the three buttons longer.

I flashed the 3-part lc1 gb and did a full wipe. The phone now starts sometimes but gets stuck at the n7000 logo most of the time. When it starts the whole UI feels very laggy, eg. while typing. Recovery mode started one time out of 1000 tries. I am afraid that something with my hardware is wrong. Any ideas? Could a Jtag be a solution? Please help.

try again to get into recovery and do a factory reset from Gb recovery..

press it until you get to recovery. DO NOT remove your fingers when you see n7000 bootlogo. keep pressing . keep pressing. keep pressing.

I made it in the recovery, did another fullwipe, but it still lags while typing or opening/closing an app and still does not boot proper, I have to try several times to get past the logo screen and it works only when I go in downloadmode and boot from there. Entering the recoverymode still only works randomly. Any idea?
Edit: it also lags while scrolling down/up

In all you posts here you never wrote exactly what version of which Rom you installed in whatever way.
That's why I'm still not convinced that you have "defined state" and giving good advice is try&error.
So please start telling: how did you flash, what GB or ICS or JB version, Stock Rom or Custom Rom.

,Sorry, I flashed the n7000xxlc1 - open europe with odin PC, stock, prerooted and in 3 parts. After that I did a fullwipe, the phone turns on after a few tries, most time after I go in download mode and restart from there. It lags while it is on, like short freezes, I tried to install the OTA update to ICS but failed.
Before that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo after flashing a franco kernel via CWM (I am not sure which version but it came with the guide to root, so I thought it could not be bad)
Edit: I flashed the xxlsc 4.1.2 jelly bean offical leak via odin PC, and I still have the same problems. I takes 5-6 reboots to actually start the device and it is very laggy, almost unusable. Every second or so it freezes for short time.

Any help please? I would send it to someone to do a JTAG repair if this could help. I just dont want to waste the money, so if anyone has experienced a problem like this please help me.

Is this a brick revived phone?

[Q] N7000 dead... please help me find a solution

Hello!
I have a problem, and don't know how to solve it... I am using JB Alliance ROM, and everything worked great, until I uninstalled iGO. Actually the uninstallation was successful, but right after that, I went to My Files, and I deleted the iGO folder and my phone froze. I kept the power button pressed to make a simple reset, and after that it went to a boot loop. I tried to go into recovery mode holding vol up + menu + power buttons, and from that point on I have only black screen, even when I tried to charge it. At that point, my battery was about 80%, but I guess this doesn't matter.
I read something about these problems, but I am not sure which is actually my device's problem.
Can anyone help me to solve this? I have a JIG, but I used it only to get rid of the yellow triangle a few months ago...
Thanks a lot!
Rasvan

Try going to download mod and flash stock GB or ICS rom using PC Odin

Thanks for the reply! I tried also this, but the phone still looks dead... I mean I can't go into Download mode even after I pulled the battery out for a few seconds.

Use jig and go to download mod.
btw dr. ketan is an expert .. pls pm him and ask help..
