Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!
Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?
It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.
Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)
have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.

Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!
Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.
the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!
You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.

Hi guys i been experimenting on my sisters acer liquid by rootin and installin the different roms and now i seem to have a problem with market. The application works i can see apps free and paid but when i try to install they get stuck on starting download for example i tried downloading quick boot and it remained on starting download for about 30min so had to cancel tried installing few other free apps but still same result. I dnt know if its happened to anyone else and i kinda dont have a nandroid backup of when the market was working cos it took me a wyl to have lickons custom recovery image working. everything els seems fine its jus the market.
Any help will be appreciated thanks
I had the very same problem after flashing 2.000.16_EMEA_GEN1. The fix is as simple as it's unexplainable (for me at least).
Just start the Google Talk application for a while and go download your apps
May be you have to format the micro SD too, because it have some minor parts of programs that can make confict with the new rom.
Ever than i put a new rom, i recommended format both (Phone & Sd).
Hi thanks for your replies, it turns out it may have been because of the sim i dnt exactly know how because before when i was trying to download i had a spare orange simcard in and it wouldnt download but i jus thought i'd try put my sisters tmobile sim back in (which i signed up to the google account with) and straight away apps started downloading. I spent like 4 hrs ova something so simple.
Thanks agen for the replies

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.
Hello everyone. I have a question. Can I flash the recovery image (whether CWM or anything else) and also the Roms from within the phone without using a PC.
The problem is I don't have access to a PC (all my laptop usb connections got fried) and I have an HTC Hero. I just download whatever I want to the SD card and flash it without the need for a PC. I wonder if that is possible?
I got T-mobile Tab a couple of days ago. I rooted it and I got Rom Manager. But after I reboot in recovery, I get the verification error.
So, can I do this without the so-called Odin or Heimdall?
Thanks in advance...
if you got the CWM work on your tab so probably yes u can do so , u just need to download the rom and read the discretion given by the dev and flash it via cwm
but
there is always a need of odin , in case u stuck or something ,
and also its depend about the dev is made it to be flashed by odin or cwm .
out of topic : how is egypt , really do miss it
Thanks a lot for your answer. And it is great to find someone else misses Egypt besides myself. I guess everything there is a mess now and I'm going to check it out by the end of the month.

I was trying to flash a kernel that i found in a forum, i tried with Voodoo, my phone was already rooted. Then i heard a female robot voice saying something about "partition" and a process that was gonna take like ten min. From then, colorful lines appeared in the screen, something like static and just nonsense lines. Im all crazy, because i cant put my phone on recovery mode or anything and its rebooting on and on every few seconds after showing several lines and nonsense. Please somebody help me im desperate.
Can u get into download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No i cant, sometimes i cant even turn it off, i press the 3 buttons, and it just goes to the white samsung logo and again to these colorful pixels, the computer doesnt even recognize the phone since it keeps rebootin on and on. Really i need help, i dont want to lose everything or take it to samsung.
you need to let it go. Its installing that kernel, and it does it while that lady robot speaks. It will take a while.
It sounds like you are in bootloops, try removing battery for 10 mins, replace and try dl mode again, if it does get into dl then pull battery again, replace and charge phone. Next make sure you have right kernel for your rom/firmware, and make sure you get everything set up right with odin, if you can't get in dl pm me and we will try and get it sorted, and don't panic
Edit. As stated, voodoo conversion can take quite a while and I'm guessing you panicked and disturbed phone during conversion
Insanity cm 014/glitch
I tried that yesterday, actually i removed the battery the whole night and its the same. Another problem is that my phone is not able to turn to download mode with the commando of buttons, that option was diabled in many, at least thats what ive heard. I tried to let the process go, but it went like that for like 30 secs and then it rebooted and it did that for all the rest of the afternoon, im talkin about hours. What is dl, download??? Man im new in this, what is pm?? I think thats what i did man i panicked and disturbed the process, im really desperate Help tell me what to do i want to pm u to get some help, but i dont know whats that lol. Thanks actually i found a tutorial to get these kind of phones into download mode with a resistor of 301 ohms and a connection, but then if i succed in that, what... what i really want is recovering it, rebooting it without losing anything. Or at least resetin the phone, but i dont know what to do when i get to that part. Im really panicked and i really appreciate your help

Have you got y your stuff backed up with titanium?
Insanity cm 014/glitch
i think i did, i download it and I played around with the program, i was kinda busy then so i thought i could better understand the program later, i did some stuff but im not sure i backed up all my apps and stuff, i hope i did.
Man tried what the video shows, not workin!! i really thought that was gonna work, the phone just do the same, it goes to those weird messed colorful pixels
You'll have the wrong bootloader or a Froyo-kernel running on Gingerbread. You can't get into download mode? What about recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I reckon your best bet now is the 301k resistor jig
Insanity cm 014/glitch
It worked!!! Now im about to install a rom i found on the internet, the thing is i wanted an official one and i guess those arent. Do u know if i will loose everything, u know like the info in the internal sd card?? i guess i wont. And also, do u know if theres an official rom of the froyo 2.2 around?? Thanks for your help
Dont just install any rom you found on the internet, its what got you into this mess in the first place.
Go to the developers section and read, try and understand what you are actually doing first, if you have to install anything download it from that section, at least you will have some help if you screw it up again.
YES you will lose data flashing over the top just mucks things up, i would suggest backing everything up using Titanium backup, then go to samfimware.com and get a factory rom, doing a full data wipe.
You won't lose pics and music, roms etc stored in sd card, but you will loose internal data, settings, that kind of thing

Interesting, this happened to me as well yesterday along with some incredible lag with keyboard and scrolling pages. Like the phone is doing something, ive Odin flashed stock fw 4 times with full wipes. seems something just suddenly defected my phone..
EDIT: BTW this happened after trying to flash a custom rom to my phone, phone was running great when i got it.
i got it working i had to flash back to stock via odin that's the only way it works for me as soon as i flash a custom rom it will stop working if you figure out how to get it working whit a custom rom let me now pls

Now when you got that fingerprint error, did you experience and hard core lag in scrolling or in the keyboard? like every 3 seconds it pause like it's doing something?

Having the same issue with Hyperdrive. Restore my stock rooted backup and it works fine. Really looking forward to an answer on this one.
Must setup first time before rooting and flashing roms. This has been discussed in other threads.
Did that, still didn't work.

Is it just Hyperdrive or have you tried one of the other ROMs? I am Dynamic Kat and do not have the issue although other people do, ones that did not setup before flashing that ROM.

I tried using odin, I was on NIH firmware with no luck... and then flashed odin with NJ7 with no luck from that, I must of flashed the firmwares over 8 times,
I went and replaced my white note 4 at a corporate near me, with a black note 4.. no one had them in stock, dialing 611 was no help, they said since u bought it at a store, I had to go there, I found a corp store that had 2 left, I rushed over cause they don't hold it for anyone. employee wanted to charge a $50 restocking fee, I told them the phone is defective, and the manager override the sale..
I am having the same problem of the fingerprint scanner not working after flashing a custom ROM. I followed everything to a T & it didn't install (& yes, it is for my N4). I went back to stock using Odin, several times & have not resolved it yet. I do not want to take it back but I do like having the fingerprint scanner. Luckily, I have another N4 cause I bought 2 when they came out cause I planned on trying to turn a profit on 1 of them, but I'll be damned if everybody didn't make it easy as hell for anyone to get one. I guess I can use the 1 that doesn't work right for flashing & playing around on & then when I find "THE" ROM that I'm happiest with, I can flash it on the good 1. IDK. This is BS though. Somebody has to know how to get it back working right. I know that people that helped create this phablet, are members of this site, so I hope that they or someone else that has fixed this problem replies to our question. I flashed this ROM... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-alpha-semper-fi-t2926682 & the fingerprint scanner still worked, but after flashing this ROM... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/25-october-2014-n4-echoe-rom-1-t2917941 it no longer worked & hasn't since. I am going back to stock (again) & hoping this will work. I'll update if it works.
See this post/thread, it worked for me....

sorry dude, I don't know what it was, but when it happened to me, I was on NIH, and had the fingerprint saved, i tried everything, and when i deleted the saved fingerprint, it didn't want to work, nothing worked, i tried for 2 days searching and trying out my own stock odex roms and the firmware, it did not work.. sucks i know...
i had to return it to tmobile corporate store, if u have insurance on it, just play stupid and return it, if u have someone you know on tmobile, just let them put it on their account with put the $8 insurance, have them wait 1 week, call 611 and just say the fingerprint sensor went bad, and just pay $5 and have a replacement sent out,
lucky for me it happened less than a week for me, and went to a tmobile corporate store and they gave me a new phone in a box, but a replacement is still good it is not a refurbished phone...
I got it figured out & will post a file once it finally uploads, but in the mean time. If you have registered at SamMobile.com go there, click on the firmware tab, scroll halfway down to where it says FIRMWARE on the left side of the column & search device here on the right side. Type in your model number & it will show up right below the search area. Click & download the newest file. Here is the link for the Firmware site with search field filled in with N910 http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ While that is downloading, do a factory reset on your phone, DO NOT backup your info, you will need to restart it, but it's worth it. Once the reset is done, your phone will reboot, don't worry about going into setup, just turn the phone off & go into download mode (while phone is completely off, hold, in this order, VOLUME DOWN, HOME & POWER, press VOLUME UP when prompted. Connect your phone to computer. After the file downloads, open Odin (I'm assuming you already have Odin installed on your computer, if not you can find the link here http://odindownload.com/ I didn't have luck with Odin 3.09, but the 3.07 version works great. Your Firmware file should be done downloading by now, if it is, put it in your Note 4 folder (or whatever folder you have designated for your N910-) & extract it to there. Open Odin & click on the PDA button (& DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE), click on the file you just extracted & then click Start. Once that loads, your phone will reboot & be just like it was from the factory. Hope this helps everybody. Once the file uploads to my Dropbox, I'll post it on here to save you some time.
Here's the link for N910P https://www.dropbox.com/s/f5f63rb4d8ybsm3/N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_XAS.zip?dl=0
