My phone died!!! - Off-topic

After rooting my phone and after using it fire about a week something weird happened to my phone, on Sunday the phone restart it itself and when it booted up the phone was stock on the Samsung screen after the metro pcs boot animation. I took out the battery several times but to no avail. It was dead. I finally took it to metro yesterday and they have me a brand new one. I'm more sure if i will root it again though.

rooting the phone does not causes the phone to die
something else happened

I don't know what could have happened to the phone. Its weird because it just got stuck.

Never did a back up prior to rooting it. I will back up tonight and re root to see what happens

Setting phones on fire usually kills them.

Did you try CPR on it? Check if it still has a heart beat.

This is murder!

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i have flashed rom on a HTC Hero before, which was my old phone, but not on this phone, dunno how different its gonna be!
madkid21
Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21
BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

You only rooted, and didn't remove any apps?

Kosh ill check this out. Thanx for the reply man.

You will have to flash your stock rom. It's available here on xda. I recommend using a windows 7 pc and a program called odin3 1.7. Don't worry too much, there's lots of insructions. Read everything twice.

Dead i9000? How to fix?

I needed a backup phone and didn't have much of a budget also thought I could get something decent . Having used the i9000 prior I thought that would be ideal.
So I bought this I9000 that was stuck on the samsung logo from the bootloader.
Fired up Odin used the jig got it into download mode flashed the phone.I used Odin 1.85.it showed green pass and reset.the phone seemed like it was gonna reboot but went dead and now I.have no display trying the jig.charger USB connection nothing gets it to react. I checked with an alternate battery as well. No luck. Any ideas what could have happened and how could I revive this?
i have the same issue!
You sure that it's a I 9000? Not I've of the variants?
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
It was the i9000m but I flashed the KG3 Odin official firmware and the rest is history
Suggestions anyone?

Are you able to atleast get in to the download mode?
Nopes nothing

Maybe lagfix was enabled prior to flash... That would cause a problem I believe.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
even if it did, wudntve killed the phone , i shudve still been able to goto dld mode. and odin over rules everything, doesnt matter if lagfix was on or not.
And up we go

i thought i saw that they have a rooting apk file but ive never heard of it working, u can jus use a friends pc and root the phone though because the rooting files aint even large or take up space
Thanks. I will go ahead n do it on my gfs laptop whenever she brings it. I wish there was an apk but that's fine.

The apk is called Framaroot, but I don't know of it's confirmed working on our devices.

I'd suggest you to wait for a laptop rather than attempt anything not confirmed, because if something gets messed up you can't fix it without a laptop again. So enjoy the bloatware!

Need a lil help restoring my SM-G900A back to stock

I could use a lil help... I've tried everything I can think of and still have made zero progress restoring my galaxy s5 to stock. It has not been rooted and I've spent days staring at my laptop searching for firmware that is as far as I know a myth and md5 files that give me false hope. I've either missed or done something wrong. I've ran the stock partition, modem and kernal files with Odin but still bricked.. it's a sm-g900a-oc4 and has had the ota to 5.0. Lollipop. I know I can't downgrade and root, that's not what this is about. I just wanna get it to breathe again like normal.
