I tried to do the lagfix on my phone. I dont know what was meant to happen but I had noticed it ran the creating 1gb file a few times. I restarted the phone and it wouldnt come back up so I done a clear cache and factory reset. I no longer have a boot menu and cant access google market or even sign in to google account to setup the market.
Any ideas? Samsung App store works just fine... Im using wifi.
How can I remove EVERYTHING i just done? How can I make the phone the way it came out of a box?
remove the lagfix if u can then boot into recovery and wipe data and reflash with a stock rom is my suggestion but i don't know much, good luck.
I removed the lag fix, wiped everything and still nothing. Returned the phone to samsung and they reflashed the stock rom as I have no idea where to find the stock rom and Kies wont do it.

Last night I power cycled my phone and put it on my charger. When I woke up this morning and looked at my phone there were a ton of force close screens. I have no phone (cannot make calls) and not data.
I power cycled the phone over and over and have been searching the net all day but cannot get it to work. The only thing that I had done prior to the initial power cycle was a few updates from the market, so I uninstalled those apps, but it appears that was not the problem.
I have root access and was running gumbo's rom (now MaDoCo...thought that would help) and I really don't wanna do a factory reset. Is there anything I can do?
Factory reset is most likely gonna be your only option. If you dont wanna do that, do you still have the .zip for your rom on your mem card? If so, why not just reflash the zip? Might take care of the issue without having to do a hard reset. I am assumingm, though, that if you are rooted you would have created a nandroid backup? Why not just restore?
Tried reflashing the rom and that didn't work. Gonna do a Factory reset now. Lets see
tried factory reset and now i'm stuck on boot screen
Did you ever make a Nandroid backup?? I would suggest you run the Sprint RUU and bring your phone back to Stock, reroot, install recovery, and then a custom ROM. That looks like your best option.
But, just for the hell of it -- take out of your battery and then insert it back in and reboot, see if that does anything.
What kind of factory reset did you do? Wipe from recovery, go through setting, the home>back>power one, or what? And are you stuck at the HTC screen? That happened to me once, but it was because I flashed a GSM rom my first try. Boot into recovery, wipe the phone, and if that doenst do it, I agree with pseodo, time to RUU.
Well I tried resetting from the recovery and wiping, but it will not boot up. Then I tried the RUU, but it wont get past the boot screen in order for me to to connect it to the USB. I tried connecting the USB through recovery and although I can access my SD card via my PC, going through the steps for the RUU says its not connected.
I took my phone over to sprint and although they know I have a custom rom on there (which voided my warranty), they are still gonna give me a brand new one and send mine back through manufacture warranty. It'll be in on Tuesday. Luckily for me I have an online back up through by MyBackUpPro, so I should be good on restoring settings, apps, contacts and all other important stuff. (Minus Root and Custom Rom )
Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
I flashed a new set of icons last week and had a bunch of force closes, restored a nandroid and everything was fine.
Hey guys after installing 2.2 I rooted my phone again and put the lag fix back on for obvious reasons.
The problem is the lag fix party didn't go so well and completely messed up my phone. I tried taking the lag fix back off but it kept saying it failed...
I went into recovery mode and wiped my sd card and did a factory reset. The phone started working right again and my su had gone.
The thing is though that there was still a folder in my files called templagfix. I deleted this folder and did a battery pull.
so... Will the sd card wipe and factory reset in recovery mode have taken the root and lag fix off properly?
i think you should normally do a Re-Flash of the Firmware you use to made a clean Build

I used the kies registry hack so it just says latest version already installed.
i had network problems (3g stopped working, don't know why), and had an old version of doc's. so i figured i'd install the new version after a wipe, see if that'd fix it.
just to be safe, i went in recovery (clockwork) and restored an earlier backup. it worked, but still no internet. upon remembering that this was the backup i made just after installing docs, i went back to my previous backup, stock rom, i think 2.1.
this is where stuff went wrong. i hadn't disabled the lagfix (forgot which one, i remember i had ext4 as filesystem), and now, no matter what i do, my phone won't go past the boot screen. big lettering galaxy s, smaller gt-i9000 and at the bottom samsung, you know the one.
i tried everything i could imagine. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, re-restore to the oldest backup. only then did i remember the lagfix and remove it. retried all of those, still no dice.
i can get into recovery mode, both clockwork and 2e, and i can get into download mode.
when i connect my phone to my pc, it doesn't notice. when selecting mount in clockwork, it mounts, and shows the two drives in my computer, but when i try to open one of the drives, i get nothing.
i installed docs rom a while back, and have wiped my pc since then, so i have no files from that. i have installed the android sdk, but don't know how to use it, let alone how to use it with a phone that doesn't show.
all i want is to get back to stock, for now. try again from there.
can i? or have i ruined my phone?
edit:
wow... take about relief.
i used odin to flash xxjpu, 2.2.1, and it seems to have worked!
in case anyone else is stuck on a boot screen, download mode with odin means you're safe.
anyone with more sense than i showed in my stupidity, sorry for adding another semi useless topic.
Posting here because I can't post on the dev thread being a newbie and all. I've installed [ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 8) and for the most part it's working great! Really love the changes in ICS over GB.
I had CM7.1 installed, I did a data wipe/factory restore, cleared cache and even cleared dalvik cache, installed ICS and then installed Gapps 5.1.
I have two major issues with Market:
1) When on the Market website it shows a bunch of apps in the INSTALLED state to my phone but due to the wipe they are not installed.
2) When I click install on an app from the website it says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly." but then I never see it on my device.
I CAN install apps via Market from the phone though with no issues.
I've restarted, verified internet connection, etc. I even tried reinstalling Gapps.
Any ideas?
I know there have been times mine would not download anything after I used the website until I went on my phone and downloaded something else, then it like "wakes up" and downloads what I sent through the website. Have you tried that? Also, you are making sure you Ars logged into the same google account on the website as your phone, right?
Sent from my ice creamed Captivate
Yeah I've been able to successfully download from the phone... still nothing on the site. And yes, same google account as on the phone - if I initiate a download/purchase from the website it does show up on the phone market app under the not installed portion of My Apps...
I've also tried with Wi-Fi enabled/disabled, tried switching to airplane mode and back... still no go.
SOLVED!
Pain in the ass though. Did factory reset/data wipe from within ICS, including formatting the SD card. Reinstalled CM7, booted, booted into recovery, then wiped cache/factory reset, reinstalled ICS then booted, booted into recovery, installed Google Apps and it seems to be working. Still shows up on Market website as "Installed" but allows me to select the phone and it does sent the push install.
Must have been some data setting that was preventing it. Oh well, good to start with a fresh phone once in a while
Hi, I have a rooted T-mobile Htc One I am running the Google Edition ROM , Earlier I was browsing on my phone through the Google Chrome app, and I guess I ran into a shady website or something, because I was stuck in a clicking loop, and finally I got a YOUR PHONE IS INFECTED, webpage. I couldn't change tabs or anything, and when I got to the home screen I saw a few force closes and maybe stuff getting deleted and added to my phone, that really freaked me out so I restarted my phone and ended up with most of the homesceen stuff deleted, so I went into CWM, and deleted all backups (noob move) and wiped my phone (dalvic cache, cache, factory data reset) Now my phone seems to be okay, but I am still worried, so is there any way I can COMPLETELY wipe my phone, I don't care about losing root.... Also do you think my gmail and other accounts were infected?? Really could use some help especially on the COMPLETELY wiping my phone.
Twrp, wipe, advanced wipe, check everything and wipe. This will erase it all. You will have to adv sideload a Rom. Or, rebootRUU and flash stock file. I assume you are s-off?
