phone is semi screwed up please help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys i have a problem with my phone (obviously)
when i try to get into recovery all i get is a scrambled screen, it used to be ok before i installed a new rom, will it be a case of un root then re root or is there an easier fix?
cheers
steve

Could you upload any image/photo about it?
I think is the bootloader. What is your actual rom? And what rom before flash?
---------
Well, I'm sure your. Problem is whit de bootloader, just flash gingerbread whit bootloader via Odin. look in the forum for gingerbread whit sbl, when you flash them you could install any cooked/modify rom shutout problems whit the screen

What rom are you trying to flash via recovery?
First. You need to enter in recovery and make wippe data and wippe cache, after that, You need to flash via Odin a clear rom.

[Q] how to remove clockword mod recovery

Hi all
This problem that I have is pissing me off so much. I rooted my phone and then unrooted it, and then my Android Market icon was missing. Now, whenever I want to do a factory reset, the phone goes back to ClockworkMod Recovery every single time. I want to get rid of this CMR. Also, I've tried to stock original rom on my phone but it does not work at all. What is happening? My phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. But I always get this error where I can't apply the DLL file. This really annoying me right now. I've tried everything and NOTHING works. I regret rooting my device.
Please help me thanksss

Here's howto remove the ClockWork Recovery Mode:

You can flash the original image using SmartFlash.
Get your original Firmware image from here. The instructions for SmartFlash are here
how to flash the zip
sorry I am completely new to this. How do I apply the zip? Do I boot into recovery mode and install zip from there? I have done this with other zip files before and it always ended with:
'installation aborted'
im trying it now, but its stuck at:
'Restoring stock recovery image'
smart flash
smart flash doesn't work for me. I always get this time out error.. I really don't know what to do now. The recovery stock file did install but then I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and it got stuck with the LG logo. Now, it's back to ClockWork Recovery Mod again!! i don't understand. Please help.. Many thnks
what type of error?
your device-manager on your pc recognizes your 2x, when you connect it as described in the instructions?
THis is the error:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:07.5 Sec :We can't communicate with specific port
and now, I can't start my phone. It gets stuck on LG logo. I tried the remove CWM method, it worked but when I rebooted my phone, my phone would not start at all. P. Please help.
yep it recognises it but it always gets this time out error... what should I do? Please help.. Many thanxx
Does the COM port get detected automatically when you plugin the phone ?

Same with me. Go on trying at some point it will work. It happens with me everytime i flash with smartflash. Myself also waiting for a definite solution to this problem. i think the problem lies with usb drivers. I also tried with taking out card and sim but cannot pinpoint the problem. Any successful flasher may upload the drivers. Moreover i also disabled programmes like antivirus etc running in background. Waiting for a more definite problemfree flashing solution.
I think, install drivers to smartflash, no other drivers, and later smartflash.

[Q] Superbrick, Softbrick, Pixel Salad ?huh?

Seriously can someone please explain to me what the heck the above mean? I get the notion of a brick but what the heck is the difference between Super brick? Hard / Soft Brick? Finally, not really brick but what's Pixel Salad!?
Thanks!

Soft brick= a FAILURE of the device that can be reverted by the user
Hard brick= a FAILURE of the device that has to be reverted via external devices see jtag
Superbrick= a FAILURE of the device where the only solution the service center and a replacement of the component that malfunctions.
Pixel salad = a problem of the graphics unit or the screen to display correctly the image and put instead random colored pixels on some areas of the screen or the whole screen.
This is my interpretation of those issues everyone can correct it if he thinks that those expansions are incorrect.
Hope it helped you understanding few of those issues.

You are spot on!!
Hi, I flashed N7000ZSLPF ICS with bootloader and rooted afterwards. Everything was perfect until i decided to flash cm9 nigthly signed.zip and did a direct reboot. Now nothing happens when i try to turn the phone on
What kind of brick is this? Can somebody please tell me ?
Is there any possibilities to get the phone fixed?
Thank you all for your answers allready
Wish u all a nice day

I'm not 100% sure, but performing a flash under lpf isn't recommended. How did you root lpf after flashing? And when you say "did a direct reboot" what do you mean? Also when you say doesn't turn on at all, do you mean no display whatsoever or enters Samsung boot loop? Are you able to enter recovery or download mode?

You should have read the warning about LPx kernels (LP1, LP5, LP6, LPY, LPF)
Wiping or flashing in recovery will probably cause superbrick.

The way to go from ANY non-CM9-based ICS Rom to a CM9-based Rom is via Gingerbread.
You should've first used PC Odin to go back to GB, root your Rom, then flash CM9.
You have most probably superbricked your phone.

I Know.. but if you are able to flash a custom recovery like CWM i think you can wipe data and\or flash a custom rom instead a stock

you dont need root to flash 2.3.6 via ODIN. if only download mode works for u you only have few options. 1 if u have warranty send it back to samsung. 2 install clockworkmod recovery via odin multi downloader or reflash gingerbread 2.3.6 via odin while your phone is in download mode thats it!. easily sorted when u know how if download mode still works.
strange for a new phone to have bootloop.
hi there after coming home tried to flash the phone
but only thing i get is i hear on my pc that it is connected but not to be seen on my pc.
when i put it in download mode odin doesn't recognize the phone what is to be done with this.
can't get into recovery mode either
happend only once did recovery wipe data but then i got e:
can't mount data?
please help getting desperete to after flashing my sgs2 for over 20 times without any problem
i think the problem is yhat it's not in debug mopde but there is no way for me to get it there becaus cant get into the damn thing
please again how to solve before taking it back for warranty because its a long drive for me to get to the shop

Looped after ODIN flash of OI firmware - cannot unloop

Using already described methods of wipe and restore I cannot get it to work at all.
I get to DOWNLOADINg or even to ANdroid restore menu - but cannot get to log in
ODIN can only flash the OI firmware and not the OH nor OF.
Thats because the OI updates bootloader and you cant go back. Have to stick with latest update

Also having this issue. My S6 randomly rebooted on me and is stuck on the logo screen. I'm on 5.1.1. I cannot access the recovery menu, only the download (Odin) menu. Attempting to flash the stock rom thru ODIN does nothing. Doing the emergency recovery via Smart Switch also does nothing. It goes thru the motions but does not solve the boot loop. Anyone have any other suggestions?
