oh sorry, i was going to say for a quick fix if you were trying to flash cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 rom then i have uploaded a nandroid of a clean version that is passed the tap the android but not set up for anything else, sorry i don't know if you can get past the finger the green guy part without actually pressing it.

so can i flash it to cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 rom? because i can update.zip but i dont know how everything works, or is the phone a no go?

Which method did you give this user in this posting

Bricked G1 in a way I've never seen before

I have a G1 that was given to me stuck on the exclamation point screen.
I've tried various update.zip methods, When i try to update it says it can't read from the recovery. It'll install the update like normal it seems, but then when it reboots, go right back to the exclamation point screen.
It was never rooted. Not sure what version was on it when it bricked
I've searched the forum all day trying to find a thread like this.
Does anyone have any insight into how to fix this?
Thanks

Not sure what rom you tried to put on it but I would bet the camera button is stuck.

Should be the home button in this case. If it was the camera he'd see rainbows, with home it takes you to recovery (the ! screen)

exactly. thanks for the help.
I replaced the buttons and now everything works.

Help! White Triangle of Death!

Hi guys, need some advise here.
I have purchased for a ridiculously small amount of money a non-working G1. It's non-working because when it's turned on the G1 page comes up shortly follows the a white triangle with an exclamation mark in it with picture of the G1 lying next to it. I can get into the recover console by pressing alt+l nad have tried wiping the device and installing an offical Android 1.6 update.zip but all that happens with that is says the installation was aborted.
Is there any hope for this phone or should I just shelve it for spare parts?

WHAT official update.zip? You need one signed with the proper keys, which are related to the vendor.

I downloaded this file: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip and renamed it to update.zip.

Wow. I'm surprised that anyone could actually expect that to work. Geeze. Did you bother looking at the file size? 14.5 MB? Your first hint should have been the word "from" in the file name..... it is NOT A COMPLETE SYSTEM!!! It is PARTIAL.
This one MIGHT work, *ASSUMING* that you have a phone branded tmobile-USA, which I find HIGHLY UNLIKELY given that you're flying the Union Jack... http://code.google.com/p/android-ro...=signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip&can=2&q=
I suggest hunting a little longer and finding an FULL update.zip applicable to YOUR PHONE.

Go to the rooting thread and download DREAIMG.nbh and follow the steps in the guide for flashing that. This will (should) get you to stock 1.0 Android RC29.

First of all @lbcoder: OUCH! Ok I understand that my mistake was n00bish but you don't need to be quite so soul shatteringly brutal. Thanks for the help anyway though
@isobane: Thanks for the tip, I'll hunt the file down as see how that goes

Right, I can't install the custom recovery because I can't get into fastboot, I can only get into the regular recovery screen. Also adb doesn't recognise that the phone is attached when I ask it to list connected phones. Is it time to give up with this or does someone have any other ideas?

Here is the UK version of the 1.6 OTA update. http://android.clients.google.com/up...7.a7b90b4e.zip

ADB isn't going to recognize your phone unless it is rooted. How can you not get into fastboot? What happens when you try? You may actually be getting into it without knowing so.

Holding down any of the other buttons on boot (camera button, back button, home button etc) does nothing. When booting the G1 screen comes up then the white triangle appears. I can press ALT+L to get into recovery but nothing else.

Just got it today and I really got scared as the boot menu didn't show up anymore (the sammy logo did appear but it was followed by immediate shutdown) I was starting to think I got myself a hard brick
Got it from Amazon.fr, sorry I won't be able to share my firmware anymore...

Be careful. Sometimes it clears your SD card as well (depending on what exactly you're doing).
To be safe, make a backup of you SD card on your computer.

Only flashed the bootloader from that pack, seems to work!
... more or less. Trying to boot into recovery will restart the tabled, trying to do so from the CWM app will bring you back to the reboot loop...

Sweet bro.

Sure wished I'd seen this message last night.....
Well, now to see if I can fix mine.

Thanks for finding this trick. I applied it but I moved from soft brick to what I thought was hard brick. Leaving it on the charger for a half hour as I took the dogs for a walk "woke the dead".
Thanks,

A hard brick is when nothing shows up no matter what. Screen stays black no matter what you do, power button doesnt work, you cant get into any recovery or bootloader or anything..

I was a little iffy to install it...so glad I didn't. Had some issues with it on my GS2..pfft

i think i have bricked mine new P 7500
but there is nothing wrong i did with this device
tab is now in only conecting in APX
NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
no sign of charging and no light on display
is there any way to recover it back??????????
this is semi or hard bricked?????

How? this thread is meant for the 8.9 tabs...

This topic should be a sticky!
Anyway too late for me, just trying to work out what brick I have. Basically I done the above too but I'm trying to work out what type of brick I've got. I cannot see a charge light when put on charge. I can get to an option for recovery or download but can't get to recovery. I just get a bootloop of powering on as far as the samsung logo before shutting down, or at least the screen going black. I've never connected to computer yet but I think I've found the files I need should it be a soft brick. Any help in getting me through this would be appreciated.

Hmmm, can someone tell me a little more about this. What files exactly, from that german site? Now I'm confused. Could someone provide a link. I've got a uk unlocked sim free wifi only. And I know its a pita but some guidance on what do do with that file would be a great help
Many thanks

Trapped myself in this lobster pot too. Probably hold the record for purchase to soft brick in 10 hrs!
there is a link in second post from op which has the roms and the flashing software (Odin)eunfortunately they only had a 7310 rom when I looked. You need a 7300 rom for your phone to work. Please read as many forums as you can on this first. I ended up flashing an Asian image just to get back on my feet, then ended up flashing overcome and over clocking which works very well. Wish you luck!

same
same thing happened to me .I should of looked here before trying a backup. Used Odin to install this and its all good, and 3.2. megaupload.com/?d=0KYNVV4Z

FYI, I was stupid yesterday and allowed ROM manager to update my recovery partition (it told me there was an update available). Of course the update was for a Tab 10.1 and soft bricked my tab (it went into a boot loop). I recovered by going into download mode and using odin to flash only Tab 8.9 clockwork recovery image.
So, if anyone else bricks their tab by using an incompatible recovery, you should be able to recover back to where you were by just flashing a compatible recovery instead of using a full odin ROM.

[Q] Removed touch wiz woops!

Morning all,
I apologise if this is in the wrong section but I am new to the forum and in a bit of pickle.
Around a week ago I rooted my lovely new note 3 to hopefully one day install some nice new ROM to get rid of the horrid touch wiz and actually see the full potential of the phones power. However, for some silly reason while I was using titanium backup on my phone I thought it would be a good idea to uninstall touch wiz thinking it would magically go back to basic android however it didn't. It is completely broken now, woops. The first issue I had was it would boot up and stick to the Samsung logo and just glow so I thought it would be an idea to install stock ROM via ODIN to try and revert it back to normal. Once I downloaded the correct stock ROM it was uploading through download mode however at the last minute it failed with a ext4 error which I think it means it's bricked? Not sure, completely new to this. I am now a bit stuck as I am not 100% sure what to do next.
The phone will only boot into either the firmware upgrade has encountered an issue, basically Odin mode or download mode. I have tried recovering it through kies however it cant connect to it. It knows it is there as it will start searching for it when it's connected however says it can't find it.
My phone is a note 3 SN SN-9005. The system status is custom, reactivation lock is off, Knox kernel lock 0x0, Knox warranty void 0x1 and write protection is enabled.
Obviously I would like to get the phone back to normal, I don't care if it has to be completely wiped and brought back to normal I would like it to just work. I've been an complete idiot and fiddled with something I'm not 100% sure on and I would like to not have a 600 quid paper weight hehe.
I will greatly appreciate any help or feedback.

You won't get the best feedback for a 9005 model here. We are the 900A version stuck on AT&T. Yes, however, we have plenty of intelligent people here. It's best to post your question here in the main Samsung Galaxy Note 3 thread next time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help
Next, since you've voided your warranty as Knox being 0x1 - you're pretty much screwed for a refund or replacement based on PRESENT development from what I have read all over the AT&T threads. Understand this. Now, that being said, did you install a custom recovery or have your original recovery?
Here's my input/help. Forget about ODIN. You don't need that if all you did was remove your touch wiz.
Take out your battery, put it back in and hold VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME together until you reach a recovery. Then if it's the stock recovery, wipe your cache partition, then wipe data/factory reset. Then reboot and you're good back to starting over. Check with a rooting application to see if you still have or not. If not, then obviously reroot
Also, don't ever do anything like that again without thinking what it could do, lol . Always tread carefully whenever you are new to something. Just my two cents for you. If you came here to root and learn it, don't be afraid to ask questions about applications and expanding your knowledge. No one will ignore you if you ask a simple question in the right manner/thread.
Good luck!

Thank you for the feedback. I have defiantly learnt from my mistake with this one. I have usually been lucky diving into things blindly hehe. I have tried to put it into recovery mode however it just vibrates like it should and then comes back up to firmware upgrade issue with the two computer screens an a attention sign in the middle. Is there anyway to get recovery mode back.

Wish you had come here when you deleted touchwiz only instead of playing with Odin. Looks like you messed it up even further and have to now use Odin to reinstall your firmware. I'm about to go to sleep, but do this.
1) Take out battery and put it back in. Then press and hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER at the same time until you reach DOWNLOAD MODE.
2) Follow the steps here and use your odin or latest odin (shouldn't matter):

Oh, and google is your friend. It's how I learned things over the years...READING, then tinkering....you're welcome .

I wish I did as well. I will try this when I get back from uni this evening and post back results.
Thank you again.

You have the 9005 right? I think you have the wrong file to odin. What is the exact model number of your phone and where are you located in the world? (reason I ask is there are different regions to choose from)
