[Q] format system and stuck at boot screen - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am new in android. I went to the recovery mode and formatted system and then the phone stuck at boot screen.
Please help.
what should i do?
Is it bricked?
I can get into the download mode by using jig.
Thanks.

Its stuck at the boot screen because you completely wiped the operating system
If you didn't know what you were doing why do it?
Odin/heimdall a stock ROM, or boot into recovery, mount usb storage, move over a custom ROM aahs flash it.

as previously stated, pick a ROM from the development section and they have all of the information in there to get your phone back up and running, most have links to all of the software you need to complete this as well.
Read, read, read before you format anything.

wtf?
is this thread real?

Can't boot into recovery!

I just rooted my Nexus 1 Froyo per instructions on theUnlockr.com. I installed ADB first, Then proceded to root. I then flashed a recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img. This was successful. I then booted phone into recovery mode. Selected recovery and the first couple times I received a black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of a triangle next to green android. I flashed recovery rom once again and this time it allowed me to enter. I made my backup image and even booted into recovery mode again�wiped phone clean and restored image. I thought I was golden! Later I tried to boot into recovery mode again and I received same problem as mentioned above. I tried again no luck. I even flashed recovery rom again and It still dose not work. Why could this be happening? I even went through the steps to root phone again (that went well). But still no recovery mode. I even tried another recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img. It did the same thing. Worked one time and then nothing! I need to fix this before I load custom Roms.

I was able to flash recovery via your instructions but phone STILL will not boot into recovery mode. I hold down the volume key and power.....all I get is triangle with droid net to it. Im going to try and Un-root my phone and start from scratch! Thanks for the help!
you are getting the triangle with the droid because the recovery did not flash correctly, try usung rom manager if for nothing else, just to install Amon/clockwork

Did you remove the two scripts like you were told? /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Cool thanks for the advice! I did try Rom Manager and used Amon/Clockwork recovery. After flashing the Recovery Image I booted into recovery from Rom Manger. No problem! BUT.....when I rebooted phone from recovery menu I again went in to Rom Manager and tried to Boot back in to recovery and I got the triangle with the Droid next to it. I pulled battery and started phone again. I flashed Amon/Clockwork recovery again from Rom Mang. and again I was able to successfully boot in to recovery. This pattern goes on and on. It seams that every-time I want to boot into recovery I need to flash Amon/clockwork image. Somewhere phone is not retaining the information. Everything looks to work just fine as long as I Flash before I go into recovery. I'm sure this is not the way it should work. Any ideas?

Khaytsus,
When was I told to remove the two scripts? Where did this come from? Please let me know what they are for and why removing them would help? Also, if I do need to remove these would it be done by using Root File Manager, finding file and selecting delete? Sorry if I sound new to this.....it's because I am! LOL. Thanks for any help you can provide!

It's documented in random places, of course the post below also has the same info. I don't know precisely what the two files do, but they apparently try to restore the recovery.
Trust me, it will fix the problem. Remove them, re-flash recovery.

So, I'm not the OP, but I am having trouble deleting the files despite the fact that they are both say "YES" in read and write in properties. I tried to reflash from ROM Manager and I keep getting an error there. Not sure what to do.
BTW, I'm using a Galaxy Nexus. Would love some help as this is all uncharted terrain for me.

If I understand, your problem is that you can't actually flash a custom recovery from ROM Manager ?
Which do you use ?
Are you trying to flash a recovery in recovery mode ?
Please link here files you tried to flash.

I can't flash from ROM Manager. Initially, I didn't want to purchase the download capability. So, first, I used the program tools and flashed from there. I got Clockwork Mod to work, but then when I restarted it and went into "recovery," I got nothing.
Now, I can't flash at all.
The galaxy nexus should have fastboot capabilities, this is the best and safest way to flash your recovery partition
Be sure to use the proper recovery image for your device
If you need help finding it or setting up fastboot let me know

I have only ever found a guide for a temporary flash. I would follow the instructions and then CWM wouldn't stick. =\
So here is the typical steps to follow
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
And that's it, were you using fastboot to just boot it? Were you doing another method? The more details you give the faster and more accurate your help will be

I used instructions from http://androidforums.com/internatio...root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#enter-recovery.
The ROM wouldn't "stick" and then the USB wasn't even recognized by the end of everything.
Start by booting into your bootloader and writing down everything word for word on that screen here. Next boot to recovery and write down what you see there. Even better upload pics of each. Again the more detailed you can be the more help you can get

It is not a good sign. Looks like a case of superbrick to me due to emmc bug. Probably will need repartition with custom pit or adb.

Hi guys,
I normally try and work this stuff out for myself (as you can tell by my join date and my post count) but this has me stumped..
I was attempting to change ICS rome and somewhere in the process something went wrong...
After many unsuccessful attempts of flashing, stock ICS & GB, Abyss.. I checked the partions for errors and found the actual size of p-10 was different than the reported size by 1kb.
So, tried the e2fsck fix- it reported that it had corrected some errors.. I tried flashing again and agin- no success.
I then deleted the partitions, recreated them and reformatted in CWM. ADB reports no errors on any partition. When I try to load an ICS rom, it installs then hangs when it gets to the screen where you select the language.
I can successfully install a GB rom, but after a couple of minutes I start getting errors- then the affected app closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Which ics rom were you on originally before you tried flashing to which ics rom? Did you perform any wipes while on ics? Does sound like you have a good understanding of emmc bug and partitioning so forgive me if this all seems mundane.

I can successfully flash a stock GB rom with PC Odin, but it hangs on the boot screen( so I can't install dmmc test).
I have tried everything I can think of, just waiting on a jig to come in the mail so I can reset my counter for warranty
If you find a solution please post it.
I think i have the same problem. I posted it in general ( can anybody move it over here? I think this was wrong. Sorry i panicked. )
It's called permantly rebooting after flashing cm9.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note screen

Hello XDA,
My phone is stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 screen (white letter black background).
I came here after a try to flash Paranoid android rom... My phone was on ICS 4.0.3.
Now the strange thing is I can get into download/recovery mode, I am able to flash stuff through odin. So what I've already tried to do is :
Flash stock rom with odin ( both 2.3 and 4.0.3 ) - No result.
Flash a other kernel - No result
I once came to the bootanimation of paranoid android but that was the only thing
Can one of you guys help ?

If you are able to boot in download mode then you should be able to flash GB rom, what error are you getting after or while flashing GB using odin?
If you are stuck on Galaxy Note logo after successfully flashing GB rom then its normal, wipe in stock recovery and it will boot.

Here is my complete lists of the actions I took:
I was on 4.0.3 rooted with and this is pretty stupid Stock or speedmod kernel I don't know anymore
Then I wiped data / cache / dalvik since that was in the instructions in the paranoid thread.
Then I flashed Paranoid android with the result of the Samsung Note Logo.
After that I flashed stock ics rom, since that didn't booted I flashed stock GB
From that moment I flashed allot of thing with the same result
I can flash stuff in odin no problem at all, everything i flashed passed !
I can flash cwm with odin and from that on I can flash everything on the note in cwm.
I hope someone can help me :crying:
Let's forget that you did all those. Follow these steps and don't jump the gun into the next step.
1. Go to download mode
2. Flash GB ROM. If possible non rooted
3. Reboot recovery
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Wipe cache
6. Wipe data
7. Reboot
Lets see if that works for you.

Check this or this (for galaxy S III though, but symptoms are same), do not attempt to follow these procedures if you are not sure about it, it's better to take it to service center before trying PIT method if you don't find any other solution.
So.. what a night (-.-)7 I came to the conclusion that the mmcblk0p10 and mmcblk0p11 partitions are corrupt in some way. When I'm home again I'm going to try the pit files but it seems that I need to do some special stuff with the mmcblk0p11 partition.... Maybe someone that has this problem aswell and still remembers stuff can post it here ?
Would be a big help

the sdcard is not the problem,, i have corrupted the partitions i think,, altho flashing firmware with odin works fine, it just doesnt boot
really wish I could afford to get this phone fixed I miss this phone and have gone back to an old crappy galaxy ace
