Hey,
For some reason my phone is stuck on a black screen at bootup where only the buttons light up. I have tried fixing the SD using the parted method on the cyanogen forums and the adb method posted on this forum. When I boot I get no error messages in recovery. The weird thing is, if i flash eugenes froyo for vibrant, the phone boots up and works but it will not work if I flash the official stock firmware (UGJH2 - i9000m phone). I have also tried flashing different versions but they all boot up to a black screen.
Does anyone know what is going on or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

I have an i9000m which I had flashed to Froyo JPO with Odin, then installed Darky's ROM v 4.0. I had been using this for a while with no problem but a couple days ago it shut itself off for apparently no reason and when i tried to turn it on it would just get to the Galaxy S startup screen and then continuously restart and never fully boot. I could still get into download mode so I flashed back to the stock eclair JH2 firmware, but when I tried to turn the phone on, it would go through the normal boot sequence, but then i would be stuck at a black screen, with the bottom two buttons lighting up. I played around with flashing various different firmware versions, but it didnt help. After searching the forums it looks like it might be a problem with the internal SD card, but I'd like some other opinions/advice. Could anybody help me get my phone functioning again?
I'm having the exact same problem since today. It started out of nowhere; one moment the phone is working fine, the next its rebooting and it gets stuck...
Anyone got a solution besides a factory reset?
hey there, i know this is my first post, and i just did my first flash of the Cog 3.04 Rom to my Rogers Captivate tonight, but i read through everything before i did it and everything went well.
but i figured out that when my phone boots up, i get a i896 Samsung boot screen at the very start, and then switches to AT&T world phone boot screen, then to a cog boot screen.
I've looked around and people say the AT&T screen is kernel based.. so i don't know if i can even get rid of that
I'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of the last two boot screens and have the glowing Galaxy S boot screen from stock, and if not that, just the i896 boot screen, can anyone help me?
you are right, the second boot logo is kernel based.
simple fix, flash a new kernel.
most roms are compatible with most kernels,
make sure lagfix options are disabled in clockwork recovery. Some Roms enable on install. so even if you didnt turn it on, TURN IT OFF FIRST.
Download neldar's SGS kernel flasher app for easy kernel back up/flashing.
you can find a copy in my Magic Android folder in my Signiature.
Hi,
My tmobile G1 wont load any roms for some reason.
I flash a rom to it and it updated but when I reboot it gets stuck at the rainbow "X" screen.
Its a cyanogen rom.
Any clues on what to do?
The way I flashed it was by powering on the phone, holding the home plus power, then flashing the rom. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I've heard of people refer to the stock bootloader screen as a rainbow screen, but Rainbow "X"? Can you take a picture of it and upload it?
hi i tried to flash CM7 and well now im stuck in a loop going through att screen galaxy s with cyanogen 7 under it then looks like it is updating a package and then just starts over at the att screen cant seem to get it into download
edit: just got it into CWM but dont know what to do now
edit2: now there is a little phone with a triangle and a computer on the other side of it
edit3: phone does not come up in adb i think
never mind flashed with odin
How did you manage to get into CWM? I am having the same problem.
If you can get it to connect with adb, and it should as long as the cyanogen boot screen or whatever boot ani is used. It will be very brief but you may have a moment to put it in recovery via adb, this is saying that the three button method does not work, you could always put it into download mode and flash from scratch
Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my nexus device, I was watching youtube on it and it froze and now doesnt boot. I can access hboot, but recovery just shows the X logo and restart. I've tried reflashing boot.img, reflashing the recovery, reflashed stock hboot, flashed new roms from fastboot. I've also tried passimg.zip, and flashing a different radio but it stops 90% the way through, and it gets stuck in loading passdiag.zip if I use the volume down button to boot instead of the trackpad button.
The graphic abnormality is like an artifacting. If you search youtube its called "Nexus one stuck on X, can't boot to recovery.", I cant however post a link.
Anyone encountered this before? Any insight is appreciated.
well I've managed to remove blackrose at least, and to get to the blackrose menu. You have to access it from command prompt with "blackrose.exe skip" while in fastboot. Though I'd put it here incase it helps someone else in a similar circumstance.
