I have a problem, I just recently bought one, but the problem is that the screen is black. Every time I swipe to unlock it, I get a black screen. I'm able to see my contacts, receive calls, but can't see my home screen.
Try changing the wallpaper maybe?

Did you set a new homescreen lol?
Obvious question is have you done anything to your phone? Can you give any details about what has gone on prior to it going black, has it always been a black background?

Never done anything to it, except charge it up. Bought it from ebay and when I hold down the home screen button, I get the task manager pop-up, but that's it. But the screen is completely black, except the top half with the time, wifi connection, battery life, etc.

Hmmm, that sucks. Since it is purchased off ebay you might be out of luck. Has it been that way since you purchased the phone or did it just happen out of the black one day? Sorry for the dry humor.

There is no odin for mac, but there its heimdall. It its more complicated them odin and takes more to understand what you are doing.

Software can be found at samfirmware.com
But before you go crazy with that, you said you can get into recovery. Have you tried a factory reset?

I assumed you get into recovery using three button combo. What happens, do you boot directly into clockwork recovery green letters, our standard recovery blue letters? If clockwork what are your options?

It says, "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2" and it's green letters.
The way I got to that was when I got forced it into recovery mode, I clicked on the option to reinstall packages.
Sorry about that:
There is 'reboot system now', 'apply sdcard:update.zip', wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, install zip from sdcard, backup and restore, mounts and storage, and then advanced
Do you have a external sd you can hook up to your computer?
Who ever sold you the phone obviously was playing around with the phone.
if you have an sd there may be a way to recovery but it is a long shot.
What happens if you hook your phone into your mac
Edit
In clockwork select install zip from sd, it should list the files on the sd . What does it say?

I am thinking a rom may be in there that you can try to flash. It could mess up your phone but lets be honest, it isn't actually working at the moment

These are all roms. So obviously the last owner was busy. Listen if you try to install one if these 2 things can happen, 1 your phone boots up and you are saved, 2 you get stock in a boot loop and you will have to find a windows pc to use odin.
What do you want to do? If you want to try to install a eoin I would go with cognition. Scroll down to the zip, select, confirm, cross your fingers. Before you do anything give newer one minute, I want to confirm something

Try rebooting your computer. Then try again if same issue then
Also maybe redownload the rom software in case of corruption
I am not sure of this but at this point might as well throw that in.

So I flash the path of kitrax59 for this button. It will work ok if my phone adlredy booted (using after flash ROM). But if I factory reset/wipe, the phone will be bootloops @@.
I try to change only framework.apk or systemui.apk but still bootloop if reset phone (working great if not reset)
Not only this soft button path, but also when apply out kitchen online theme, I get bootloop too (when reset phone). it seem can't change any rom's file!
As you know, if i need to reset phone, i cant continue to use it. Why this happen? I try some way to add soft button but can't!
I had asked this in soft button thread but OP seem no answer for me.

Nope, not a brick. You probably have a working button combination, but the recovery simply isn't there. You need to boot into download mode and flash a kernel.

thanks that fixed it. my phone is now awesome.
Hi there, first I have to explain that I have flashed custom ROM's before, but am not technical at all. This time I tried to update from JB 4.1 to 4.2 and now the word 'Semaphone' is on my screen and nothing else is happening. Is this fixable? Please, please help me if it is. I will need step by step instructions.
Would really really appreciate it if someone could lend me some advise.
Many thanks

Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I am a complete beginner. I have Odin, I have downloaded the two files, where do I put what to flash it?! :laugh:
Sorry for being off topic, but why the hell do you flash a 4.2 Version when the source was released just yesterday? I'm even wondering where you got that version from? Oo

Okay I got this from the post, so I'm gonna elaborate this to you so you do it correctly, okay? Note this, I'm using the XDA app to reply this.
1. Turn on USB debugging.
2. Open Odin on your computer. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops(Odin) and Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar.
3. Turn off your phone and go into Download Mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button)
4. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
5. Check Odin. If Odin detects your phone, it will appear yellow and state Com: 0 or something like that.
6. Then, flash your phone. Wait for it to complete the process and let Odin reboot your phone.
If problem still persist, please do tell me.
Another note, this is base on my experience and I'm not on or near my computer. So I'm sorry if anything happens.
Good luck!

Many thanks, I've got it sorted and running a Jellybean Rom again! Hurray! I thought I had messed it up forever. Lesson learned. Will not try that again............
Your welcome! I hope my assist helped you whether big or small! :thumbup:
Just make sure, you do the regular protocols, backup everything and wipe data etc.
If you want a fresh phone(meaning to delete your current/older rom for a newer one), you could always format system(formatting the system will delete your ROM, meaning your phone will not boot until you flash another ROM).
