[q] galaxy s tweak app froze my phone

my phone has been frozen at the samsung i9000 screen ever since opening this app.... i am very new to this do not understand most concepts here.. ie. flashing a rom. If anyone can help me get my phone out of this state or has any suggestions on how i should fix this please comment.

if you can get into recovery mode try flasing another rom via cwm or flash it using odin and download mode (flashing non wipe roms via cwm might leave your apps and data intact)

What is the full name of the app? How did you try using it? Do you know what firmware version your phone is on?
First thing to try is turn off, remove battery sim and any microSD. leave five minutes and put all back in and turn on.

the app is galaxy s tweaks or something very simalar (black and white logo) the two options i was given in the app were "YES-BREAAAAK my phone" and "NO- Im not crazy" i selected no and then my phone just reset and wouldnt turn on again ive tried everything i can do without hooking up to a comp ( as far as i know) but thx for the advice

Where did you get this from? It does not seem to be in the market.

OK just found it. Have a read off all the comments. Not good.

You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.
or
Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

Is telling me i need recovery code, I have never received one.

Just read this so it may work for you.
disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.
In other words repeat what you have done :-s
Original post on Android Forums.
The message indicated that I would need a recovery code that could be obtained later by clicking Tools | Firmware Emergency Recovery Menu.
I was then instructed to disconnect the phone, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone which I did. The phone would not reconnect. At this point I called Samsung tech support and wasn't impressed when I was simply told to repeat the procedure. But to my surprise, the upgrade was successful the second time around. Go figure! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else ran into the recovery code message.

[Q] Odin3 not working

I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.
It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.
I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.
Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7
It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Using SGH-i897
1007

first boot takes along time to build new files and delvik.. are you sure you waited long enough?
keep trying to get into recovery. try holding the buttons a little after the screen comes on.
factory wipe/ clear phone/

It keeps going to the AT&T logo screen for like 10 seconds, and then goes to the spinning wheel/battery charging screen, and then reboots.
Can't get into recovery mode through it, still.

a different .tar package.... dunno about that one..
or flash to 2.2 tar package

I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate

I was able to use a dragon rom to get it to boot, but now my phone wont give me any access to my internal sd card, and won't mount my external, so I can't download rom manager because I "have no room" Where do I go from here?
I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.

you dont need rom manager....ever

Then what does he need?

stuck in the same position
I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?
Need some help please!

you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.

3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s
I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?

download is 2 buttons
recovery is 3 button.
some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.
in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.
it is for Att only so i dont know much more.

After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.
After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.
Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.
I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.
1. Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.
2. Plug in the USB cable.
3. Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.
4. The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.
This worked for me once, after several attempts.
Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.
Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.
Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.
Here is how I eventually recovered.
1. I opened Odin on the PC.
2. Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.
3. After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).
4. Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.
5. As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).
6. I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.
From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.
The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.
Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.
From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.
After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).
From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.
Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.

It never booted for me, so this is what I did
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

[Q] Stuck on LG logo after CM7! help!

I recently installed CM7 after rooting my phone with Superoneclick and installing Clockworkmod. However, after installation of CM7, i managed to boot up the system, played around with it and realised that i needed to install the google addon as well. So i rebooted the phone to enter into CWM recovery, however the problem started.
My phone is now stucked on the LG logo screen and would not change. I left the phone in that state till the battery went dead. Recharged the phone and it remained on that screen.
Tried to connect the phone to the PC to flash it with smartflash, but it doesnt work at all. I removed the battery and held the volume down button while plugging in the usb cable. All i see is the phone stucked on the white LG logo screen.
Is there any way that i can reformat the contents of the phone or is my phone certified?
All help would be much appreciated!

Power up directly to cwm by pressing power button and volume down key at the same time.
Once in cwm, full wipe including /system and reflash cm and gapps.
Good luck.

I have tried that method as well. Sorry. Forgot to mention it in my initial post. It didn't work. I have tried to pull the battery, hold down the volume down and power button for at least 20 times now. Each time i get the same screen. The CWM menu does not come up.
Any other ways?

Hmm.....if u can't power to cwm directly then perhaps try smartflash to any stock rom.
1. Download any stock rom
2. Start smartflash app from pc
3. In power off mode, just press volume down to boot to software update screen. Start smartflash stock rom.
4. Boot up stock rom
5. Install rom manager and flash cwm from rom manager. (Or download cwm from Rusty! Cwm thread)
6. Boot to recovery
7. Flash cm rom
8. Flash gapps

Remove battery, hold both vol buttons and plug in USB. Screen should stay blank, but Windows will pick up an APX device. Now NVFlash back to stock and start again.

yup, tried the exact method that you suggested too. But it doesnt work. Still gets stuck at the LG logo.

This method worked! But i have another problem, windows found an APX device, tried to install it but failed. It says driver was not found. Do i have to install a specific driver for this to work? Thanks!

Yes, good point: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...k-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/

I have managed to flash the phone and it is back working now. Thank you so much for your help rusty and temasek!

Hi, first post, hope the thread is not too old.
Unfortunately this is my best chance.
I have the same problem on my O1:
Updated from mik's beta 6.5.7 to beta 6.5.8 with the clockwork manager, at the reboot, I was stuck on lg logo.
Unfortunately usb + both volume buttons didn't work.
It remains still at the lg logo.
Pressing home + both volume, it repeately reboots.
In every case I can't go in recovery mode, so I can't wipe the system folder.
Any help will be appreciated,
thank for your time!
PS: sorry, maybe thread in p500, cm7 will be more appropriate.

hold power button + volume down button for 5-10 seconds may work, phone will reboot into recovery mode, then you are able to flash a stock rom or restore your nandroid-backup (if you made one)
good luck, hope it helps you

thanks, I saw a useful post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18531050#post18531050
Then I proceded as you wrote.
Now I'm stuck at adroid logo, without the chance to wipe cache.
The recovery does not start: loading bar and then forced reboot...
I don't know what to do

nvflash
maybe you try this link
android.modaco.com/topic/335416-nvflash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/
Sorry, i don't get the link working, copy it in your browser, then it should work (i'm posting with my phone that's why the link is'nt correct, but it works with browser, i tried it out)

If the link doesnt work, search 'nvflash lg p990 instructions' with google, you'll see the modaco website with the instructions and the download links

Thank you. A few hours ago, I managed to make it working.
Thanks for your answers, I appreciated.

nvflash is the way to go. Always make sure to use the usb ports on your motherboard (back of your computer) and not some usb hub or so.
Had a black screen for 8 hours, not able to boot, flash, recover or anything.
Changed usb port and I was able to flash the phone again.

I'm freaking out because mine is stuck on the black screen too... I was trying to flash the XML file for Fastboot. and it just went blank (blackscreen) can someone please help. I don't know if letting the battery die is the way to go? I have it connected to a laptop at the moment. I know they said that the XML file takes a whille, but it has been an hour. I do not have any warranty as this was a trial unit given to me.
I'm not that much of a Noob, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. <<<<---- Fixed using Volume down and Power to do a "battery pull" Although I almost Removed the battery physically.

Can you still boot into the unsafe system?
If so, is the unsafe system currently ICS or Gingerbread?

ICS leaks are not fastbootable.AFAIK, unless you just meant that you were trying to fastboot flash to 6.13.219 before flashing to ICS. Either way, here we go.
Go into safestrap, safe mode menu, then disable safe mode, and restart your droid. I am assuming you at least went into safe mode before trying to flash. If so, this is why we love safestrap...makes sure you have a working OS. Let it boot up. Did it work?
If not, don't panic, there is still another solution, even if you didn't safestrap your unmodified OS (just make sure you do this next time!)
If you did backup and safestrap saved you, ignore this block below for now.
Code:
[LIST=1]Download [COLOR="Red"]VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01[/COLOR].
You might already have this if that's what you were trying to fastboot to. It's 1.18GB in size.
Download is here: sbf.droid-developers DOT org/cdma_maserati/VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01.xml.zip
(change DOT to . Can't post links yet.)
[*]dl.dropbox DOT com/u/76950573/RSDLite5.7.msi Download RSDLite and install it.
[*]Download the Droid USB drivers:
motorola DOT com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Install them. [COLOR="SeaGreen"][B]RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.[/B][/COLOR]
[*]Turn your phone off.
Hold the two side volume buttons down together, press and hold the power button down.
Hold all 3 down until you get to the bootloader.
Press volume down to get to "recovery", press volume up to select it.
You'll see a sick looking android/red triangle icon soon.
When you do see him, press both volume buttons down at the same time.[/list]
[*]Volume down to "wipe data/factory reset", power button to select (not volume up this time.)
Confirm, delete everything. When it finishes, select "reboot system", press the power key to enter that choice.
Immediately press both volume keys together after the reboot begins and hold them until you see the bootloader menu again.
[*]Plug your USB cable into your phone and connect it to your computer.
Use volume down to select "AP Fastboot", volume up to confirm the choice.
Open RSDLite on your PC.
Press the "....." icon in the program, browse to and select the 1GB+ VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01 you downloaded earlier.
[*]Click "decompress/start flashing". Now wait for half an hour or so.
I believe there will be several phone restarts near the end, this is normal.
You're now back to stock GB. You no longer have to fastboot to this in order to go forward to ICS.[/list].
Now to get to ICS...
Go here. droidforums DOT net/forum/droid-4-hacks/212307-droid-4-utility-updated.html and download the tool. You don't need anything else but the main tool.
Grab your preferred ICS leak. 6.16.217 is the most recent: droidforums DOT net/forum/droid-4-roms/218610-ics-leak-6-16-217-update-zip-boot-img-crc.html
Flash to 6.13.219 if you didn't just do that.(follow the steps in the CODE block above).
Open the droid 4 tool (.bat file) after extracting from the archive. Plug your phone into the USB. Set it to debug mode. Install safestrap 1.09, root the droid.
Unzip D4 6.16.217.zip. Rename boot.img to ICSFIX.img and move it into the droid 4 utility subfolder named \files\
Copy Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip (leave it zipped.) to your SDcard.
Go into safestrap and make a backup. Turn on safe mode. Reboot.
Reboot into Bootloader, select AP Fastboot. USB should still be connected and the droid utility open. Select option 16. (Errors might occur. This is fine.) Flash your blur.zip from sdcard. Follow prompts on utility. It will reboot, do some animations. When you see the motorola logo, let it do its thing. Once the moto logo fades out, force a reboot (hold VOL keys & power down.) Now hold vol down and press power, boot to bootloader, and select recovery. Press both power buttons when you see the dead sick android logo. Update from sdcard. Select the zip.
Let it flash. It'll reboot.
Open the droid utility. If you flash to another ICS version, UNINSTALL safestrap 1.09, and then install; the new version 2 one. Make backups. Root your phone. Use the last option on the droid utility to flash between ICS versions.
You cannot use it to flash between something like AOKP or CM9 to a normal ICS version (Yes I actually tried this, lol).
Sorry for wall of text, hopefully this helps you in some way, whether you're still bricked, or still want to go to ICS after fixing your brick.

I did figure out how to root it but where i found it on here should mention to flash the bootloader cause you will get a security error if ya didnt i primarily use root for my wifi tethering when i need it

So there's no other way to root without flashing a bootloader and another rom? I really don't want to get into that anymore.

Same here.
Just want to stay with the stock v30p after rooting.
It will be great if tjat can be done

doesnt anyone know of another method, i was on that page last night for 4 hours trying to get it to work without any luck, updated drivers, was able to get phone to boot into fast mode, but whenever i tried to install the boot loader it would always just chill on waiting for device. few ppl said to unplug and replug, or manually put into fast boot but nothing worked for me, couldnt get it to install bootloader.

ok ive figured it out. I really hate when they dont post all the steps and cause so much chaos, this is what worked for me.
1.follow the links on post listed above,
2.install the flash program as admin on pc
3.with battery out plug in while device manager is open and right click on the driver that comes up and update it with the driver in hacker file
usb_drv_windows, a box will come up say install anyways.
4.reboot computer with phone unplugged then reopen device manager
5.run allinonep90.bat file, hit any button then when asked to wait 5 seconds put battery back into phone. the next page will pop up with a list of
options, select ICS bootload.er, i think it was 8 or 9 and click enter. it will say waiting for device.
6.now go back to device manager and there should be another problem driver cosmo, right click and install the same drivers as step 3, once
complete hacker will auto find it and install bootloader.
7.next step select option 6 for GB recovery. apparently ics recovery on this is for a custom rom. when its done reboot and put the ziped su_bbox
zipped file on your sd card and turn off phone by holding power untill its off.
8. while off hold volume down then hit power until it vibrates, may have to do a few times before it vibrates then release power button while still
holding volume down. when the silver lg logo comes up release volume down. and phone will boot into recovery.
9.from here navigate to where the zip file is and install, after it does it will reboot and you will now be rooted.
hope this helps ive seen sooooo many posts with ppl having same problem as me and no one posting accurate guides.

Got me through a good bit here, but I'm at the point where I can't boot into recovery. The phone loads just fine otherwise, but I can not for the LIFE of me get into recovery mode (to flash SU_BBOX). I've tried "Vol-Down + PWR", "Vol-down + 3D + PWR"... etc etc etc... I've practically tried every which way and button combination, but still nothing. What am I missing? Yes, I DID use the tool to flash a recovery. Also, when I try to shut the phone down, it won't stay off. It turns off for a few seconds, then boots itself back up. What have I DONE???

thats a bug with the bootloader, turn phone on and then hold the power button for like 8 seconds to turn it off, not t hrew the menu.
once its off hold vol down then press power button. and hold for about 4 seconds, if it doesnt vibrate to turn off, release all and repeat untill it does. it takes me about 2-3 times befor it vibrates to turn on. after the let go of power until grey lg screen, you will notice writing in the top left corner, then let go of volume button.

ok ive figured it out. I really hate when they dont post all the steps and cause so much chaos, this is what worked for me.
1.follow the links on post listed above,
2.install the flash program as admin on pc
3.with battery out plug in while device manager is open and right click on the driver that comes up and update it with the driver in hacker file
usb_drv_windows, a box will come up say install anyways.
4.reboot computer with phone unplugged then reopen device manager
5.run allinonep90.bat file, hit any button then when asked to wait 5 seconds put battery back into phone. the next page will pop up with a list of
options, select ICS bootload.er, i think it was 8 or 9 and click enter. it will say waiting for device.
6.now go back to device manager and there should be another problem driver cosmo, right click and install the same drivers as step 3, once
complete hacker will auto find it and install bootloader.
7.next step select option 6 for GB recovery. apparently ics recovery on this is for a custom rom. when its done reboot and put the ziped su_bbox
zipped file on your sd card and turn off phone by holding power untill its off.
8. while off hold volume down then hit power until it vibrates, may have to do a few times before it vibrates then release power button while still
holding volume down. when the silver lg logo comes up release volume down. and phone will boot into recovery.
9.from here navigate to where the zip file is and install, after it does it will reboot and you will now be rooted.
hope this helps ive seen sooooo many posts with ppl having same problem as me and no one posting accurate guides.

Can't figure out how to root this device
I have been trying for a long time to root my LG Thrill with ICS 4.0.4, but I am having trouble. I've tried countless times to root the device and followed the instructions precisely from the previous posts. I have also looked at other threads and can't find anything that helps. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody helped me out in rooting my device because a lot of the previous posts are slightly outdated. Maybe there is another method to rooting this device? All help is appreciated

The solution
i rooted mine with this http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-android-4-0-ics.html
i recommend the second process. its much easier. Then i installed this rom. Its great!. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392309
