[Q] Galaxy S Boot Screen hang meaning?

Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.

some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that

Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).

I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works

Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.

if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??

Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.

well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..

When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?

i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!

OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.

Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.

I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!

It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc

Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?

Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.

reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

SGS wont boot ICS

My SGS was confiscated at school about 2 months ago by the school adminstration because bringing phones to schools wasn't allowed. I had removed the battery and SIM when it was confiscated. By then it was running on Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC3.1 ROM. It was working perfectly with a custom boot animation. Today I got my SGS back and it wont fully boot. When I turn it on I can see the Galaxy S GT-I9000 text plus the 'WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED WE ARE...PLATYPUS KERNEL' logo but it stays black after this. The menu and back button light up on touch but there is no response or activity on the screen. I have tried almost everything from
wiping every data to re-rooting it, blah...blah. I installed 2.3.5 and it works, 2.3.6 ValuePack works too and even CM7 works fine. But it won't accept ICS. Any idea why, please help?
PS: I can enter both recovery mode and download mode.

Fully wipe, install stock firmwares in Odin and did all step to install custom ICS rom.

yup did all that. Flashed stock 2.3.5 first, then flashed 2.3.6 valuepack, then rooted it, after that installed cm7. Everything is perfect upto this. After that wiped all data plus cache, and tried installing ics onecosmics 4.0.3 rc3.1, after reboot phone stays blank after the logos. The menu and back buttons light up on touch, but no vibration no action and no response.

I did the same with success but from 2.3.6 directly and with that :
1. Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode using volume buttons.
2. (optional) Backup your current ROM.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "choose zip from sdcard".
5. Select the .zip that you downloaded and confirm it.
*(optional) Flash newer kernel if you want to.
6. Reboot the phone.
7. Wait for phone to boot (this may take up to ten minutes)

tried it from 2.3.6 just now, still no luck. Phone just stays blank...

Why not move to rc4.2. Also have you tried flashing twice. One after the other. Not sure why but this sometimes helps.
Also in recovery advanced menu have you cleared dalvik cache, cleared init'd and ns tools settings?

Read the bold. I've seen this in a handful of tutorials on how to flash to ICS. After you've flashed to ICS and you're stuck in a bootloop, simply go into CWM (Recovery) and reflash it. This should fix your problem.
Good luck!

thanks ya all, finally managed it n it works now. I just installed another ics rom (i dont exactly know what it is, its got a boot screen of android rocketing with the galaxy logo) and installed onecosmic's rc3.1 again n it works now.

When you get a bootloop flashing to ICS, simply flash again—as in, flash twice in a row. This is effectively what you did by trying another ROM, as they both have the same base. Keep that in mind for the future.
Have fun!

[Q] problem with [ICS 4.0.4][AOKP-Milestone 5]Galaxian-Soup

hi
i have just install [ICS 4.0.4][AOKP-Milestone 5]Galaxian-Soup i have follow the: Installation:
*** You should be able to flash over previous builds, we have tested, if you have issues after, please try a wipe/re-flash ***
In CWM recovery, clear your data/factory reset
Clear the dalvik cache (under advanced, or under the wipe menu in overcome cwm)
Flash the provided zip using CWM recovery
Flash gapps from CWM recovery
Bootup and setup your Google account
OC if you want with ROMControl and set to interactive governor!
Give it a chance, this is a deodexed ROM and will boot slow the first time and when you use apps the first time.
now my tab stock on android half hour
i have wipe data cache and still on android what is the problem?

It sounds like you got a bad download or a million other things that could go wrong when flashing a new rom. Did you download to your pc and then copy to your tablet? Did you check the md5 before installing? If you didn't make a back up or dont have a known-to-b-good rom zip on your tab you will need to Odin a rom to get yourself up and running again. If you have a backup or a good rom install it. Download the new rom again, to your pc first, check the md5 to make sure you got a good download then transfer to your tab and install it. And if all else fails when installing factory wipe three times in a row, wipe cache three times in a row, wipe delvik three times in a row and install new rom three times in a row. It's an old trick that sometimes works. Hope this helps ^.^ and good luck to ya. Please hit the thanks button if this post helps ya.

i9305 stuck on rom booting screen after flash

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps
