First, flash any froyo (2.2) rom.
Then, take out the battery, then connect to the wall charger (not the PC) without the battery. Put the battery back in if you get the android logo.
I use this method to boot my Milestone when its being problomatic. At the moment, its the only way mine will boot. With mine, I'll get the m logo, then it will panic and reboot. It does this for 5 to 10 minutes, then boots up. Once its booted, everything works fine.
This method 'appears' to bypass some of the checks for normal booting. If I try to boot normally, it will bootloop for hours or until the battery runs out.
You need to flash froyo because when there is a problem, 2.2 kernal panics and tries rebooting. In eclair (2.1) when theres a problem, it just locks at the m logo, so this method wont work.
Also, I dont think flashing with sbf_flash will make a diference, since your not getting any bootloader error messages, the flash is apparently good, something else is causing your problem.
Just to check, you are flashing non-service roms, aren't you? Also try taking out your sim card and sd card, just to make sure they aren't causing problems.

Make that process again with RDS Lite. Keep the same procedure with your correct .sbf files. When RDS appears like into your screenshot, just pull out the phone from USB cable, pull out the battery, turn on the phone in bootloader mode and reconnect the USB cable after the phone it is in bootloader mode. Do not close RDS Lite when you will disconnect the phone from PC. Let him like he is, with the process in pending. After you will reconnect the phone in bootloade mode, RDS should continue the flashing..hope you will succed

Did you wipe the phone?
the phone need Factory reset after flash the Froyo.
you'd better format the SD card and put the Openrecovery file on your SD card.
anyway, if you can enter the bootloader, your phone is ok.

I think you are not using the correct sbf files. RDS has made his job. The phone it should can be turned on....i think .
Give me your IMEI to tell you what sbf files you should use

At the first view i think that is what you need to flash
http://www.multiupload.com/7UK3NUJTQ1
But i will be sure if you tell me exactly what you phone model is. I see into the RDS log 4G OMAP. It is Droid X?

thats what happend to me this morning. my colleague gave me his unrooted 2.1-u1 milestone and wanted me to install latest cm, so I flashed GOT through rsdlite, rebooted and everything went find. installed OR, copied all reqiered update zip files und apllied them in OR - then wiped the phone fully and got stuck on M logo ...
reflashed GOT and it worked again so I just applied the CM update zip and rebooted after fullwipe just to see if the phone will start and it did. maybe a few more reboots (after every step) aren't that bad
-edit
I found out that M-logo reboots have startet, after i applied overclocking in OR.

no it's a milestone

Hi everyone
Please excuse my bad english, it's not my native language, but i'm in desperate need of help.
This seems to be my first post here, but i lurked this and other forums for a long time but still can't find a solution to my problem.
So here it is:
I have MOTO QRTY A853 - South Korean version of Milestone. A few days ago I was reckless enough to flash cyanogenmod 7 update dedicated to Droid. Yes, my bad... What I got is bootloader on startup with some error and no possibility to go into recovery.
I flashed SHOLS_U2_05.27.2_SIGNED....sbf via RSD Lite and thus got normal bootloader and ability to go into recovery. But Android never boot normal since then - Motorola logo is as far as it goes then reboots and it goes on over and over.
I tried different roms but result is always the same - looped reboot on Motorola logo.
I also tried to flash cyanogenmod 6.1.2 and couple of times booting reached animated cyanogenmod logo and one time even android home screen but then reboot again...
I can flash any rom via RSD Lite, via nandroid or via update in Open Recovery. And every rom flashes without any error. I always do all needed wipes before and after flashing. I tried ejecting microSD and SIM-card, overclock and undervolt, my battery is always charged. And all I have is looped reboot.

Tutorial: how to unbrick your phone

Bricked my phone after trying out CM7 and then flashing Stock ROM via KDZ_FW_UPD without wiping all data.
Found a way how to fix my problem. This should work for almost all bricked phones.
Remember, this will wipe ALL DATA from your phone. I'm not responsible if something happens with your P970. Do at your own risk.
You will need:
Drivers for P970;
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
WindowsEnablerv1.1
Download
Start from here if it's first time (no drivers installed, etc):
1) Install all drivers (from Drivers folder);
2) Disable LGE Virtual Modem (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager);
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Start from here if drivers already installed:
3) Run msxml.msi (in KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
4) Delete mfc42.dll (from KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
5) Run WindowsEnabler.exe and set it to ON;
6) Run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe;
7) Set your phone to S/W Upgrade mode (take out battery, while pressing Volume Up, plug USB cable).
1) Select KDZ file (download from here);
2) Click "CSE web upgrade test", then "Upgrade Start".
Chose your language and wait till phone reboots. It will take some time and could look like nothing is going on. If you see something similar to this (on your phone) for a moment, everything went OK.

maaaaaaaaaaaaan em trying it right now.....let u know as soon as i see some results
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------
"YES" it really works!!!
Thanks a billion times man! You saved my life
(for everyone else who is trying to follow this TUT...when i was updating it was stuck at 4% and showed a lot of errors in the log below...but i guess that didnt matter and now it works...that screen at the end is really must...and i had to force close the update tool after my phone was working)

I think this is solution for ALL BRICKED P970s that can enter into S/W Upgrade mode!!!
Very important is that this method do HARD RESET after flashing firmware so it could UNBRICK ALL of our phones.
Can anyone with bricked phone (not CM7 brick) can test it?

I a little bit edited tutorial and, yeah, it could help for all bricked phones. We just need someone who could test it out.

I linked it at RC's G+ and RootzWiki, in response to those bricking their OB's in regards with CM7. Hope they could give us feedbacks.

cool, finally a method that can do "hard reset" without a running system or a recovery installed !!
LG would have implement the hard reset in his Recovery in the B2CAppSetup ! it would avoid lots of send back to LG customer service !!
Thanks

No, LG would have implement the recovery key combination... It would be remedy for almost all P970 bricks...
Does anybody knows another phone with Android without hardware key combination for recovery?
Is it even possible that hardware key combination (changing bootloader) will be possible to add-on by official LG firmware update? Maybe they should do this with official 2.3 upgrade, but it is probably only dream...
PS. I forgot to thanx, ziiljuks, you're the man!

yes, recovery combination key would be better ^^
ps: I think x8 doesn't have it either

quote from rootzwiki: "adb.exe reboot recovery saved my life!!!!"
i guess we can boot into recovery with this command. i didn't know that adb environment can run with bootloop or volume up screen... can anybody confirm this?

No, it can't. You need to boot to OS and have enabled Debugging to get ADB working.
I was trying it many times when I bricked my phone. Look HERE.

It seems very good work! But i just bought my phone, i have not fllash my rom yet, since i am afraid that flashing will damage my warranty forever. Could shut body tell
Me whether there is ANY means to recover the warranty........

Nope. Tried that when I bricked my phone couple of weeks ago.
EDIT:
Tested it 5 mins. ago with CS_EMERGENCY in KDZU, and no. No hard resetting.

hmm I should test this tool again. I previously gave up that because it has never worked, until I know those kdz files must keep their name

i dont get the "CSE web upgrade test" button in the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin window.
any ideas?
tried normal upgrade but dosnt make the factory reset and keep geting boot loop.
yes another victim of CM/ > Stock
ok found it. in the type has to be in CDMA not 3GQCT

Hello,man.
There's some problems in using this method.
A guy does the upgrade,and the phone is stuck at 4% too. But unlike the situation u've met, there's not even a error in the log. Then , he has to switch off the USB(means disconnect the phone and the PC. sorry, my English is... - -#). I wanna know how much time does the upgrading process takes. Thanks.
Meanwhile ,there's another guy. He did the same thing .And the phone reboots finally. But what confuses me is that he didn't get the picture on the screen. Could you explain , thanks in my heart!
And thanks ziiljuks very much!

maybe a corrupted kdz file, try to re-download another.

Download THIS package. It has all the files in one folder. Unpack it to C:\ You should get C:\P970_unbrick\*files here*
Install msxml.msi, then run Windows Enabler.exe and click on its icon in the taskbar. Icon will change and will show "ON". Then run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe and do the rest of the job.

When i followed this tut my update process was stuck at 4% and actually it "didn't" flash the stock rom...(although it was already flash before my the KDZU tool) this tool simply after giving alot of errors in the log file did a hard reset (that last screen---which actually does the magic by formatting the data partition). After that screen my phone restarted and BINGO i was at the setup wizard! then i closed the tool bcz it was stuck but my phone was working

[Q] [I9001] SGS+ bricked/broken

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!

Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.

Try to flash a new kernel, then flash a new ROM. You should be able to get into download mode...

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.

If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667

Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?

verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697

I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596

@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!

suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this

Messed up 3 button recovery/download and CWM
Hi I received a Samsung Captivate as a backup option oh 4 months back or so. I use an sgh-i717 and have absolutely zero experience with the captivate. The other day though my Note starting having charging issues so I decided I better set up the Captivate in case the need actually comes for it. Well it already had CWM Recovery and a custom rom, I believe Continuum. Well I wanted to change the ROM but the information I was reading wasn't working and in my frustration I must've messed something up, but I do have step by step log that I wrote during whole process. I've already been reading a bit here but hoping someone can help speed me to info I need since I'm so utterly clueless to this phone.
Ok my current state is this. When booting the phone it displays AT&T screen then a screen that has the word Talon on it and there it remains. The USB apparently stopped working right before it was given to me although unsure to cause. Now the Download/Recovery 3 button combo did work but somehow I broke that and so now I cant really do anything without some help.
Ok here is log of what I did.
1. Boot into CWM
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. Cache wipe
4. Format SD Card
5. Format Cache
6. Format Data
7. Format System
8. Wipe Dalvik Cache
9. Power Off

Hi I received a Samsung Captivate as a backup option oh 4 months back or so. I use an sgh-i717 and have absolutely zero experience with the captivate. The other day though my Note starting having charging issues so I decided I better set up the Captivate in case the need actually comes for it. Well it already had CWM Recovery and a custom rom, I believe Continuum.

Well basically you erased everything on your phone without flashing another ROM, hence why it won't fully boot up.
If your usb port isn't working, you'll have to use an external sd and put a ROM + kernel on it (that are 2.2). I suggest Firefly and Speedmod. From there, you'll have to boot in recovery and flash both (ROM first).
Without a working usb, you can't use Odin to flash the stock image on your phone so hope that you can get in recovery!

[Q] re-post: gt-s5830 stuck at bootloop

Hi, I am reposting here because I posted in the wrong section. If any action is required by me to have a better troubleshooting, ask please!
Hi, after one year using CM7, I decided to go back to stock rom on my galaxy ace. After flashing with odin, I keep getting stuck on a bootloop. I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset but the problem persists. I tried unbranded stock as well as wind and vodafone, but the phone keep bootlooping. I also tried again with CM7 but the phone doesn't boot again. Please help, I believe the phone is ok but I don't know how to get out from this situation. I read several forums and all of them suggest to factory reset it, but this procedure seems to not be effective on my phone. How can I solve it?

I'd like to provide more detail in order to give a more complete description but I'm not able to know which error messages are given by the phone...I just see the samsung logo. I'm quite a newbie but I have a lot of experience with computers and electronic devices, so if anyone can point me the way, I can easily learn how to do...

thank you for answering. anyway I already did these steps for the whole last weekend. I tried no-brand stock rom, branded (wind) and various versions of android (2.3.3, 2.3.6, ...) of course I have countlessly factory reset the phone but the result is always the same: samsung logo loading and reloading till the end of humanity.....
any other option?

I forgot to mention that I've followed this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-in...mware-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-using-odin/
I found many smilar others on the web but the procedure is the same. Download .tar.md5 from sammobile and then flash with odin 4.38 using cooper_v1.0.ops
....but the phone keeps bootlooping.....

......time for my phone to be launched into the trash bin?

Hi, if you can access in recovery mode, do a wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset;
flash another ROM for S5830 model, for example S5 reincarnation;
later flash with odin the stock rom,
wipe cache and do a factory reset again;

Hi, i have the exact same problem with my coworkers Ace gt-s5839i !
His Ace crashed in normal use and was stuck in a bootloop after the crash.
I looked up the internet and tried the factory reset/wipe without success.
Then i tried flashing several firmwares for the 5839i and even 5830i fw´s with odin v1.87 and 3.10 (took me 2 days to figure out that you need to split the fw files with odinatrix for flashing... ).
But still everytime it either freezes in a black screen after the samsung loading screen (after the model logo followed by the branding/animated Samsung logo) or shuts off and starts over the bootloop.
Is there a chance that this error is hardware-sided ? I wiped everything countless times but it doesnt change anything. What else could i try ?
I would love to get some suggestions that could do the trick !
Sorry for hijacking this thread but it fits perfect to my problem

Hello
Well Actually if u can clear the EFS of your phone and the eMMc, it would work normally.
#Flash a Custom Recovery using Odin
#CWM much better. Go to Advanced and clear the efs and emmc there.
#Normally flash the Stock Rom using Odin or Heimdall

the version of CWM you have flashed for your cooper doesnt seem to clear the Emmc and Efs etc.
If your device doesnt boot up to Download Mode then Force boot it using Heimdall Rescutor and flash the stock rom using the same tool or Odin.
In odin tick the option of NAND ERASE ALL.
Still doesnt work give me a ring on +918715031141
