Q boot loop right after froyo upgrade

Hi everyone,
This morning I upgraded to froyo via Kies on my Bell i900m. It was running stock JH2 without any rooting or lagfix etc.
The upgrade process went smoothly however after booting into froyo i began to get force closures and then the phone froze (within ten mins of running froyo).
Then I did a battery pull to reboot and now i'm stuck in a boot loop.
The phone only goes to the "Galaxy S GT-i9000m" screen then reboots constantly. I can't get into recovery mode (phone reboots too quickly) but I can get into download mode.
Is my internal sd fried? any advice how i can try to do a factory reset ? Can i even do this if i can't get into recovery?
any help is greatly appreciated

Internal SD issues,
you can try one thing,
download Odin 1.7 and i9000UGJH2 then flash ONLY the PDA.
Once booted open the recovery and if you have errors mounting you have the internal sd problem..
Since it was an official froyo upgrade though I would just take it in.
Edit:
Btw, you didnt have a lagfix installed right?

No I didn't have lagfix, or root - it's purely stock. The only modification done was that I unlocked it (but i'm running it on Bell)

sux.. but thanks for the help

argh i hv this problem too, hopefully they won't know i unlocked the phone lol...also no recepit ...but i heard they still honour warranty as long as they check the imei number n stuff
This is what happened.
I used for a few hours its fine and now I finally got time to sit down and do some settings. Then suddenly applications started to crash and in the notification bar I read something like internal sd couldn't be loaded or something.
Edit: i can get into recovery mode and download mode! any suggestions?

I took mine back to bell this evening. I have the bill but they didn't ask to see it they just took the phone and sent it in for repairs.
If you can get into recovery mode I would see if the internal SD is working. If it is you can flash with Odin and see if that fixes things. If the internal is fried then you have to send it in but no worries like i said they didn't ask me for the bill (but I was using a bell sim).

1. When on the solid X, try pressing the power button while holding down the trackball and volume down key. A screen with 3 androids on skates should come up.
2. Wait on this screen for 5 seconds until the RECOVERY option shows up in the list.
3. Use the Volume Down key to scroll down to RECOVERY.
4. Once RECOVERY option is selected, press the Power button to boot into recovery
Are you using Apps2SD with your custom ROM by any chance?

i can enter bootloader and fastboot mode by pressing tackball and power button, but when i select the recovery mode its stuck on x logo and doesnt responds... is my device bricked???

i am on cynogenmod 6.1.1

If you can enter the boot loader and fastboot mode, then try clearing the storage by choosing the CLEAR STORAGE option on that screen. Beware however, this will be as good as resetting your phone and will wipe all data - I mean contacts, SMSs ... everything. Then select REBOOT on that same screen to reboot your phone. Hope this helps
Also, if you haven't installed a radio or HBOOT incorrectly yesterday before switching off your phone, then the possibility of it having bricked is quite low.

i tried clearing the storage and tried rebooting the device from the options but its still stuck on boot logo...

Remove the battery, keep it like that for 5-10 min and then boot it up again. If it still doesn't work PM me your alternate no. I will call you up.

no its still not working... i tried removing battery for 20mins... but still same case...

reflash a working recovery, flash a stock rom, enjoy your phone again.

Seems very much like the issue you have.

i tried flashing a working recovery but still it doeasnt works... all i can see a multicoloured boot logo... please help me out guys...
i tried flashing amonRA recovery image but when i try to enter recovery its stuck on x logo... i've tried other recovery images too but anything doesnt works at all

Try the unroot/restore guide in the wiki, restoring FRG33 with the passimg method. If that doesn't work, you may have to call HTC...

i hav tried unroot/restore method... but it isnt working...
it fired up somehow....but no soung screen isnt responding now
buttons are also not working and power wake also isnt working.... please help what could be the problem....it took more than 30 mins to turn on dis device... & after that nothing was responding...

hey i had the same problem before even now what i did was went back to android 2.1 but when i installed some program like advance task killer it showed some ram less not some actually alot before advance task killer used to say 220mb ram available now it says 118mb available since android 2.2 needs more ram it's not loading properly cuz that's what mine did now i am looking for the solution to get my inactive ram.
Advance task killer kills all the app so now way the ram is still there even if it was being used the app would have closed the ram which it did but still it shows android 2.1

Clear the Dalvik cache and reboot

guys i got my nexus one back on track... it was a major hardware issue... it had nothing to deal with firmware...i got it repaired now from a professional device repairperson...
.... its working fine now... thanks for all the support from all the members...

I call shenanigans on the Professional repair persons advice to you.
I'm an Android noob, and i know that if you can get into bootloader, you're not bricked. I've recovered some scary **** from that vantage point in my few weeks here.
I'm glad you got your phone working again. I do hope that repair person didn't charge you Hardware Repair prices to do it though.

Phone doesn't boot anymore

My phone doesn't boot anymore, and when I try to turn it on nothing happens, I've tried to put it in download mode but that doesn't seem to work for me either. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.3.5 and it's running stock firmware. Phone is succesfully rooted for one month, yesterday I put the file for a custom firmware on the sd card, but when I tried to reboot in CWM 5 the screen didn't show up anymore. One thing you should know is that i've been outside (it's freezing) but at the phone shop they said it couldn't be a prob. in the battery.
Is there a possibility for me to turn on the screen again or, with odin, flash the original software to make it work again.
I'm a bit of a noob in flashing and that kind of stuff.

Yes, I did. So this caused the bricking of my phone? So i'll just have to bring it to a samsung service point and hope the warranty is still valid.

YES root manager KILLS GALAXY ACE. U shouldve read other threads first -_- and anyway if your phone is rooted warranty is voided

try this
1.pull out your battery, sim card,micro sd care
2.set files in odin
3.connect phone to pc (still without battery)
4.hold power+vol down+home button
5.while holding put your battery (hold till u dont see triangle )
6.start odin flash
hope this helped u

Boot issue
even i have the same boot issue by rom manager so i tried this
1.pull out your battery, sim card,micro sd care
2.set files in odin
3.connect phone to pc (still without battery)
4.hold power+vol down+home button
5.while holding put your battery (hold till u dont see triangle )
6.start odin flash
bt 5th step i am not able 2 do it, it dosent show anything no triangle nothing,
no light of rays are shown the screen.
plzhelp for above & any other way for this problem.

have you try to reflash it via odin?

Nothing will work.....
You have to go to service center (if you have warranty)
Give them any excuse (did a factory reset and then phone didn't start )
They will never notice that your phone was rooted
They will change the motherboard and give you back
Next time think before you do something....

k - going 2 service center because its just 6 months past phone - with that excuse lets see what happens.

Hello. I am having this problem too, but pressing Vol Up + HOME + Power On, ODIn detects the phone, but when I start the process it stay in "<1> setup connection..."
What can I do?

Installing doesn't make anything, but if you try to use it you will brick you phone.

Already got mine back from the service centre and it's working perfectly!

You have to try the software smartflash, with that you will return to the stock rom! Are you sure that you can not get into Recovery? In recovery you enter by pressing the power button and volume -!!

i have this, it keeps going LG. off on LG. off on?
just take out battery. put battery in. while pressing POWER + VOL DOWN.
it will boot into CWM. well should. Only way i got out of it. or i would have rage thrown fone at wall.

I have done that but doesnt help..... I did install smart flash and it says flash successfull but still gets stuck at LG Logo..... This is some weard ****.... plz help

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.
i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.
the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???
if you can do that, then your ok.
if you cant then you need to go into cwm.
do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...
try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.
hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.
you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?

Try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and the other caches maybe?

[Q] problem after doing wipe cache partition on cwm

Ok, so my phone is rooted and i was going through the steps before applying they cyanogen mod 10 nighly.
In cwm i had:
- Created a back up
- Wiped data / factory reset
- Wiped cache partition (it took a wil then the screen went black as if it had reset)
And now i am unable to power 'on' the device?
Any ideas

Do you mean you cant power the device ON ?
What happens when you connect usb cable ? Does anything light up, Does your computer 'beep' to notify you of a connected device ?
Have you took battery out and reinserted ? or just left it to charge for around 10 mins before trying to power on ?
Also, What ROM + Kernel were you on before you did the wipes in recovery ?

Ahh yes, in my panic i miss typed.
O cant power on i have tried taking the battery out etc. but with no luck.
I just plugged it into my laptop pc and not a thing
I was on stock ICS (uk) and i don't think i changed the kernel either
I had just rooted and did the super user thing
I also probably didnt fully install CMW as i ran the CWM.zip from external sd from recovery each time.

You can Revive your phone with a pit file like me. I bricked mine with the same way as you. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

Thanks but I don't know if that will work as i can't get the phone to power on (as far as i can tell) and it doesn't seem to do anything when i plug it into the laptop.
No ping no beep.
It had about 60% power left when i did it so it has juice.
I am thinking might have to take it to carphonewhorehouse and tell them i was just doing a factory reset cos it had slowed down with all the apps and it reset while doing it and now won't turn on?

in this ERA of auto-root kernels, people still using CWM.zip...
probably should have just read some stickies. but too late...
if there is no response from the device, the pits are not going to work. only way is to get a replacement motherboard under warranty,
and as the device is non responsive.. they will not be able to detect anything about root.
Good Luck

Yeah i did some reading, but clearly not in the right place
back to the shop it goes. If you have a guide that you could point me to to get this doen the correct way then that would be much appreciated (if and whn i get a working replacement)
Thanks

when you get the phone check what rom its on. just update to the latest ICS rom..(donot wipe).
download philz kernel for the rom you have updated to.
put it in the sd card
boot into recovery
and apply update from ext storage.> point to the kernel > install
thats it. your phone gets rooted, safe kernel and CWM inbuilt.
now you can follow the procedure in the CM10 rom to install. (The Safe Way)

Thanks!
I have just got back from CPW where the nice lady said that it looks like a hardware fault given what i had described so she is sending it off to be either mobo replaced o plain replaced.
I have emailed myself your guide and will look into it if and when i get it back.
Thanks !
