[Q] Help, phone stuck booting?!

I flashed darky's rom with the voodoo lag fix and then stupidly tried to flash over the top my recovery file. now its stuck loading. can't access recovery mode but can access download mode... any ideas?

Just posted this in another thread, with similar issues, try this, should fix it.
--------------------------------
HI,
Try the following, worked for me
1) Go into recovery mode and wipe both cache and partition data
2) go to samfirmware.com and download the original rom for your phone (the one that came with it)... since you don't say what region you're from, I'll give you an example with mine. Mine is from Bell, and factory comes with UGJH2, so i downloaded that with ODIN and the PIT FILE, make sure to extract the TAR file from inside the RAR file. Put all 3 files in the same folder
3) Enter download mode, when the phone is in that state sometimes it's hard to access download, best way is... remove the battery, put it back in, then hold VOL DN + HOME + POWER until you see a working android bot inside a triangle. When you see that, connect your phone to your PC, double click on ODIN, then load the PIT file (CHECK BOX RE-PARTITION leave the others to default) and Select PDA and find the TAR file you extracted in STEP 2... then click on START, it's gonna take a few mins, and even after it's done, it's going to reboot, and it'll stay at the "S" logo for a bit, leave it, then it'll boot.
At least we hope it will.
Keep us posted,
Thank you,
Rodi.

Can't get into recovery mode only download mode?! I'm on orange uk custom galaxy S Rom 2.1 originally. shall i just follow your steps but use a stock samsung android firmware?
Thanks Alot btw!

Yeah keep going with the download mode, it's very possible that the recovery mode process is not even necessary, but since I have no way of testing, it's doesn't hurt to try.
so get the orig rom, with pit associated with its (u'll see in on sam firmware which pit you need, most likely 512 for stock out of the box).
Keep us posted

odin failed!

Hi, i have galaxy tab:
PDA: XWJMG
PHONE: XXJMA
Now i started ODIN 1.7 and selected p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar in PDA. I didnt select Re-Partition and did not tick anything and did not select PIT file. Now when i connect it says 'added' and when i click on start it goes through the process and says "failed' in the end. Now my tab shows yellow triangle on it. Help

Do you by any chance have locked bootloaders? Anyway as long as the computer recognizes your tab you can fix it. Just use search.

I dont know about bootloader, its an untouched piece. Please tell me how to fix this tab... :-(

Look at the stickyes in the gsm tab development. Just download a rom that doesn't contain bootloaders and flash it via odin. Again you can find such roms in the development section. Read read and read again and you will be able to fix your tab. One question, why did you flash your tab in the first place?

Download this firmware http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
Then goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082 & read the bit where it says if your tab does not boot...
Hope this helps

You need to dload the P1 hidden pit & full J4 version fw

Is it maybe because the rom you selected says cwm? Isn't that supposed to be flashed in clockwork mod?

Thanks guys for all your help, i flashed pit to my phone via ODIN and piece is alive and working now and gave the tab back to my friend. Now just need to know for the future i have ODIN v1.31 and P1_EUR.pit. I selected pit and P1000JPJJ2 on PDA. Now just need to know before flashing do i need to select repartition?

As i read through the tutorial you only select repartition when you are flashing with the pit file!
If you are installing firmware, Flash the custom kernel that is linked on the same page as the overcome rom 2.13 without partition, Then hold vol up and power will put you in recovery mode, You can flash the rom through there useing the install zip from sdcard option but you must copy the custom rom onto the sd card first....

I had the same problem earlier and then i learned that bootloader for stock JM is signed so it show error ... completion (write) failed ... when you try to upgrade or install custom rom using Odin. I reverted back to resurrect my tab by Odin with pit (follow pit version) and check repartition, auto reboot. It works for me but not sure if it will work for others. Good luck.

[Q] Galaxy S Problem, Odin doesnt work!

Hi,
I got my samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 (in download mode) hooked up to odin (multi downloader 4.03), but whenever i try to flash a custom rom (created in romkitchen.org) it keeps saying ''check the image files !!'' i selected the 'one package' option, and i selected the rom at the bottom ''select integrate package'' section..
I'm clueless right now, please help?

Simple question are you following the how to instructions in rom kitchen .
Looks like you are not following the instructions .
Rom Kitchen + ODIN thats a new one on me .
jje

Thanks you for the quick awnser, i will try to explain the problem.
For some darkbrown reason my clockworkmod recovery doesnt work anymore, so i cant get into recovery (with 3 button combo) And on top of that my phone cant load, it stay's stuck on the galaxy s screen. (i formatted data&system in recovery this afternoon) i can only enter download mode. So i'm trying to flash a new rom onto the phone but i cant get it to work with Odin3 or with odin multidownloader. with odin3 it stays stuck on the 'setupconnection' message, and with odin multi downloader it just say's 'check image file !!'
Where can i find the 'how to' instructions on the romkitchen.org website?
Excuse me if im a noob, im just trying to get me a better phone
Berry,

I am just querying your attempt to do something that's not in the instructions as far as i am aware .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Very simple rules of flashing one backup and two if you do not understand what you are doing you brick your phone .
If you want to flash A NEW ROM YOU USE SAMFIRMWARE.COM roms and ODIN .
Custom rom via CWM
download a stock froyo rom follow instructions and flash with Odin with pit and repartition checked .
jje

Why did you format data and system??!!

Thanks!

Beware, u will get addicted to rom flashing!

[Q] bootloop,samsung galaxy S...help please

Hi,
i have a samsung galaxy S,and keep bootlooping
i get samsung galaxy s,then turn of then again...
i tried to wipe,install different roms,etc....
any ideas

If nothing else will do the trick, a last resort can be flashing stock firmware downloaded from sammobile using Odin tuen your phone off use vol down power and home and put phone into download mode put the pit PDA code and modem files in the right place..Google this. This will flash your phone and take you right back to out of the box. This should work. Man I bricked my phone and done this and it sorted me out. Hope I'm of some help. Let me know how it goes. Cheers

While flashing stock is probably the best option, if you are impatient and want a custom rom you can flash one of the Darky resurrection editions in Odin instead. This does the same as flashing stock, but you skip having to root and reflash into a custom rom (assuming you want Darky...).

Flash the latest 2.3.6 XXJVU value pack update...!

I tried this today but found myself in booploops god knows why so I had to go through the piss take of flashing stock, rooting, then installing the rom I wanted. Probably my own fault not reading how to do it properly lol anyhow.. Annoying.

I'm apparently not allowed to post in the OneCosmic thread where it probably make more sense.
I'm getting the black screen on bootup. The touch-buttons (menu and back) still light up when I press them, so it's not dead. I can still go into recovery mode, but before I try another rom, I wanted to ask on here. Here's the process I went through:
Renamed the zip file to update.zip, because it wasn't showing up as an option to install for some reason
Wiped the SD card and returned to factory settings in recovery mode
Booted into recovery mode
Installed from the newly-renamed update.zip, all seemed to install fine
Pressed reboot device
I do want to give this rom a try, so I'll wait a while before trying to put Cyanogen on instead (the Galaxy S is my backup phone, and hasn't been used for close to a year).

Unbrick Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000

Having looked at the thread regarding a similar predicament that I have (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783556), I'm keen to know I can use ODIN to put on a new ROM. Basically these are the steps I've followed;
1. Used KIES to update my ROM from Gingerbread to ICS
2. Use ODIN to update root my phone with CM9 safe kernel (not knowing it would have been significantly better to have copied my new AOKP ICS ROM to the internal SD card first)
3. Rebooted my phone and cannot get past 'SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000' logo.
4. I can still boot into download mode and use ODIN but wondered how I should use it to install a ROM as none of the ROM's I've downloaded, are in the correct .tar, md5, smd format, that OSIN is looking for ?

First of all, I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but here is it anyway.
IN PC ODIN, there is a 'PDA' button (same button you flashed your kernel to), you need to download the ROM's zip file and flash it from there.

Stock ROM file you download is zip, you need to extract it one time to get into .tar, then you can use that file with pda of odin.

Would these be the files needed to get my phone back up and running? I am new to Android and screwed my phone up after a factory reset, now it just reads downloading for ages and does nothing. I still get a screen that reads Hyperdroid RedPill Recovery when i power on with volume button up pressed. Volume down I get Android man and it reads downloading but does nothing.
I have looked all over for this situation but seem to get a piece here and there and not the exact same issue all in one so I am reluctant to just do something and make it worse.
Please advise

That is downloading mod, it won't do anything but remain as it is, if you don't do anything.
You need to connect you device to PC in this state and have to use odin
Read 1st line on my sign and read post#2, you will get full instruction, how to use odin.
