Keeps rebooting after Darky 8.1 update

Now just had a little problem. I updated to Darky's 8.1 no wipe version. It updated fine but the first time it booted, it froze. Now it keeps doing a boot cycle over and over again. I see the i9000m screen but I do not get to the S logo screen or in this case the transformer screen because it reboots. Can you help me plz? Thanks.

try a re flash of another ROM preferably a stock ROM then start all over again, similar thing happened to me earlier, i am quite new to all this but i dont know if its the kernel or lagfix i had what caused this...
i re flashed back to froyo and then installed darkys ROM then re installed my kernel last.. all is good (for now)

worked for me first time but when i went to sgs tools to upgrade your apps ie gallery, camera, it said no busybox installed but went ahead and done fine in v8.0 and i see that cwm changed from red to green too went to market for busybox to download it but when it goes to install phone just reboots all the time mmmm...

Easiest way out of cycling boot:
pull battery
place it in
bring phone in download mode (not recovery!)
prepare Odin with a stock ROM
connect the phone to your PC and give it a kick thru Odin
When done feel free to switch again to Darkys (8.0) with wipe (you will loose data) and afterwards upgrade to 8.1.

YES !!! i agree, it is a pain.. but we love our phones and we would do anything for them its always best to flash back to standard FW if you ever get a problem...

I myself experienced this. Whenever I installed a new software, it would just boot. I got fed up because darky's forums are also down and there is no discussion. flashed doc's rom. Now everything is fine.

...mh... but it's not caused by Darkys ROM. This cycling boot feature may appear at all ROM, at all lag fix actions and so on. It depends how proper you interact with phone- and ROM-features while configuring. A lil disturbance during your session (by you or battery issue or whatelse) or a not so well prepared basic from where you start and your unlimited-feature-wishlist-and-paint-it-golden-one-click-action is enough to interrupt the whole thing and run into trouble.
It was and is all the same - since DOS or C64. And it will be the same, even when iPhone is on level 12.x or Android will be able to beam you elsewhere thru the barcode scanner.
It's a game. Nothing more. And game means lot of fun - and in the beginning a certain thrill when your phone stuck first time and you are thinking: "... f*ck... bricked..."

yup same for me
cycle boot thing
didnt enable download mode before that....
can get into debug screen thou but wiping it doesnt help
anyone with a suggestion on what i can try? warrenty = off so im screwed otherwise

Thanks guys for all the replies. Now I did try flashing a stock rom but with no results. Was still having the same thing happening to me. If you guys can give me the link to the files you used to solve this problem, that would be great. Also just for your information I have a Bell i9000m unlocked running on fido. And NO its not an sd card failure lol.
As for DarelSteilz85, I did make one of those JIG usb for myself. It easy, just get the micro usb and strip it bare to the point you can see the pins on the usb which usually are connected to the wires and get a resister to connect one pin to another. Now for which pins, I remember it was 4 and 5 that you had to connect through the resistor but double check as I am not sure. Also the resistor has to be a certain level which I forgot so double check that also. Good luck.

[Q] Bricked And JIG is not helping

HI,
I am from INDIA, few months back I got a Samsung Captivate , Till now i tried FIREFLY and CM7 ROMs . The first time flash i did it with ODIN i guess i did it with a wrong firmware ,So was stuck with AT&T screen boot loop issue. Searching the forums and found JIG may help and so made a JIG (as i can't get one here) . and recovered my phone and flashed stock and then FIREFLY and 2 weeks back i flashed CM7 for getting Gingerbread and not likeing the UI of the ROM tried to switch back to stock and then customize on my own.
So When i tried flashing Stock the installation was success the screen stuck few moments on AT&T logo and i thought it would go off, But as i was very eager to get my phone online again i pulled of the battery to restart manually (Which i dont think was nice idea ) Now the screen remains black even i use the JIG to get into download mode. But the phone heats UP when i plug it for charging on computer or directly to switch
HELP NEEDED as i am very addicted to this PHONE

I have the same issue. I was tryint to load Cognition and it just gets stuck on the ATT screen but I haven't tried a jig yet. I was wondering if I can replace the files on the phone with good files that aren't corrupted and see if it boots up because droid explorere can still pick up the phone and so does Odin but when I do a master reset nothing happens.

@rajasekhar - Have you tried: Removing all parts (battery, sim, sd) let it sit for a few min (my preference is around 10 min to insure no residual power is left in the system) then hold the jig in place and putting the battery back in? Keeping the jig in place, so that as soon as the device gets power it is immediately seeing the jig, before it can try any other processes.
A bit difficult to do with hand made jigs I know. If you still getting nothing then your in for the worst and the phone need a JTAG or service center visit.
Tho it sounds a little odd that it could boot up to seeing the AT&T logo, but does not respond to the jig. Might even be a hardware problem.
@i3oots - Since you say your still getting PC response your safe to try and reflash it or just pick something different altogether. Tho you might wanna let ODIN settle and just sit there doing nothing for a few min, w/o then w/ the phone plugged in. Or learn about Heimdall and go that route.

Would I be able to flash it even though it get's stuck on the ATT screen? It won't go into download mode. I'll look on the forums how to flash it too. I'm a newb at this which is why I bricked it but everyone has to start somewhere lol.

You have probably Hard Bricked your phone. A JIG will not work to recover the phone. If the phone has any life at all, then the JIG will work. Else, u hard bricked it...you should never remove the usb cable when flashing bootloaders or odin or anything!
the only solution is to get a JTAG which can recover hard bricks OR you can go to a warranty store (don't know about india) and make up a sob story and have them replace it..

Does your computer recognize the phone? If odin is open, does the box turn yellow when you connect your phone? Make sure you have the right drivers. I think cm7 and captivate drivers are different. Keep trying with the jig. Just because you can't see anything on the screen doesn't mean the phone is dead.

If your phone is booting up far enough to send out USB info for ODIN and other PC programs to see it, then your still in a workable condition. This also means you can still get into download mode, but since things arn't working properly it will be harder. Depending on which bootloaders your phone has will direct which methods you'll have to try out to get into download mode.
AFTER you've had a chance to look around the forum and self-educate on the different ways of getting into download mode. If your still having problems give us a lil more info of what you were running before the flash and to which version of Cog you were trying to flash.

Did anything worked for you, if not only a jtag can help you looks like u hard bricked the phone.

Hi guys
@DaNarki : Yea i tried that method to .
Thanx for ur suggestions guys .I really squeezed through xda for all possible ways of unbricking but no use. SO thought JTAG was the only option.But wanna know more about JTAG???????
Went for a samsung service centre they said they wont handle other country products of samsung. Just yesterday went to the local Cell phone Repair store , He said like he would try using a Ctool box they have for installin onto the rom directly. So i thought why not Give a shot to it ...
That store guy raised another question in me . Yesterday after giving it in the morning he said to call in the evening . I did so and he said the Phone is booting on the Ctool but it is sometimes throwing error . I dint get his intention in saying so . have to go to him today

bricked maybe not
I thought I was bricked also ...HARD BRICKED......no buttons no nothing ...tried odin on, phone plugged in, and hold down volume up and down and reinstall batt......nothing worked.......but this... it worked for me........ok first of all remember this will be a bit tricky because you will have to keep the volume keys pressed the whole time till you have download mode......should also have full batt......take out the sim and any flash cards you may have in the phone and the batt.....set the phone down and watch a couple hours of tv or try to brick your buddies phone so he can feel your pain...lol something.....ok now after your tv show has gone off turn on your computer and start up odin one click to stock.... put just the batt in the phone.....if your friend is still there you should try this with 100% batt.... use his phone to charge your batt.....any way put the batt in the phone....plug the usb cable into your computer......now for the tricky part .......press down the volume up and down now and do not let them go till the end of this and you should have download mode.......now plug in the usb to your phone IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET DL MODE HERE THEN GO AHEAD AND LET GO OF THE VOLUME BUTTONS AND FLASH YOUR PHONE ....if not... KEEP THE BUTTONS PRESSED.......now take the batt out of the phone.....keep them pressed......unplug your usb cable......keep them pressed.... restart odin...... keep them pressed....plug your usb cable back in.......keep them pressed... re-install the batt.....you should get download mode.......remember you have to keep them pressed... JUST... the volume up and down pressed through the whole process nothing else....This worked for me and I was dead bricked no nothing from any of the keys no nothing..... I DIDNT INVENT THIS METHOD I READ IT ON HERE SOMEWHERE AND CANT FIND IT AGAIN......It did work for me when nothing else did.....so if the person that posted it reads this THANK YOU...... .................................................

If you just wanna know a bit about the process ask this guy. He is pretty much the only person in the US (I know not all to useful to a person in India) that does JTAG for the cappy.
I can tell you this much, it requires a special device called a Riff box and it sends boot info directly to the chip on the main/mother board that is used for the booting process.
Somewhere I've seen a site that listed info of ppl around the world that will JTAG, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Hope it helps I wish I could find the original post again to thank the guy that told me how to do it. I had sent that phone back to att and the promptly sent it back and told me the water dammage sticker in the bat compartment was missing and they wanted to charge me 409 bucks for the phone ....long story short it was there when I sent it and I told them to go pound sand up their ass because I wasnt paying them that much and ended up paying 125 bucks for a paper weight.So that is when I decided to have it jtaged but figured I would give it one more shot before mailing it off. That was when I found the post from that person and low and behold it worked........................... I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cat find the original post

Forgot to mention
I Missed to explain my flashing procedure i have done this time . Like I never tried flash a boot file along and so was reading some threads about boot loader variations between FROYO and GINGERBREAD so i tried flashing ablong with boot loader and then I got the stock gingerbread file i put the boot loader SBL in heimdall Firstboot loader path .And Boom the first reboot got stuck and i removed the battery and then again when i tried to restart the phone is dead
Thinking this might have where the whole thing went wrong and made the cell dead .

[Q] [SOLVED] Boot looped, Can't use Recovery mode..

Hi everyone.. after hours and hours of reading and studying on this website I really got myself into a mess and I just can't seem to climb out of it.. I desperately need some grade A help..
To be descriptive, I was trying to flash Serendipity 7, I was following the steps, used odin 3 1.7, I put all the files where they needed be, and followed it down to a tee, I pressed start, and then my phone goes into a boot loop... So I google around to look for solutions, and I thought I found one, well after I flash this "P-SBL.tar.md5" some tar file that is meant to fix the 3 button recovery mode issue. (Basically my cappy can't select anything in recovery mode due to it not having a "ok" button..) So I try it.. and not my recovery mode is littered with multi colored lines.. and I can't seem to get them to go away.
If anyone can help me I would forever be in your debt.. I would be happy just to go back to stock 2.2 if possible.. or perhaps advice on getting serendipity 7 to work.
I could make it happen if only I could get my recovery mode to work. D:
Please anyone help, I'm in dire need..
Thanks!

Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"
Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.

^
+ 100
Totally agree !!
suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.

They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.

I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x
I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.
I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.

^
Keep us posted on the end result.

I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.
Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.
EDIT:
Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.
EDIT 2:
Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..
I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..
EDIT3:
Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.
I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.
Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.

[Q] no data and "insufficient space"

Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!

Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?

It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.

Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)

have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870

Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!

Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.

the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!

You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.

ok so i got it fixed be flashing a new rom (cyanogen nightly) works faaassssttttttt!!!! only problem is i cant get market to work. unable to open connection to server error. lookin for a fix to that now. everything else is superb!! this forum is freakin awesome!!

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help

You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.

You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.

Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.
