[Q] Can't boot after installing a custum ROM

Hi all,
Today I installed Jewe SmartEdition on my phone. Everything went fine but suddenly it crashed while running Quadrant. Now it's in a boot loop and I'm not possible of getting in CWM. Does somebody know a fix for this ?
Thanx

Hi.
I don't know if there is a better solution. But if you can put it in download mode you can flash new rom with odin. But you lose your downloads etc.
I hope this help you! : )

Factory reset if you can followed by deleting Quadrant .
jje

unless you have resolved this already....
Pull the battery... put in to recovery mode...
wipe the cache partition and go into advanced CWM options and wipe the dalvik cache... then try rebooting the system....
any difference? or did you just install another ROM over it?

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

problems i have with upgrade. who can say what's wrong?

hi all, i have an insteresting problem while upgrading from GB 2.3.6 to ICS.
i tried all the versions of kernels and ROM's here and was unable to find a solution.
1. when i am on GB i go into CWM, do all the possible wipes
2. i install from SD the new ICS version
3. after the installation i do all the wipes again
4. then i reset the device.
each time, the device is showing me the startup animation and then i get a screen saying that the encryption was unsuccessful.
nothing helped from there, i did wipe to factory default again - did not help, i re-flashed again - nothing helped.
i am stuck on GB without being able to use the good ROM's we have in this forum.
please help if you can.
thanks in advanced.

Did u try slim ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
Boot into recovery(CWM)
Do factory reset
Wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Flash the base file
Flash the essentials file
wipe dalvik cache
reboot

no, did not work.
after i finished all the steps the device started with the boot animation and again - encryption unsuccessful .
BTW, an interesting issue, after the encryption unsuccessful i got the device back into recovery mode and when i tried to load another zip from the sdcard i got an error in the device saying that my sdcard cannot be found.
any solution to that?

Did you check this thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303

i have done this a long time ago.
and got to step 9, which afterwards i was supposed to have the ICS working but still i got the "encryption unsuccessful " error.
i was actually looking also for ICS files to use via Odin (maybe that will solve the problem) but did not found any.

Try asking in the same thread abouth the encryption error

[Q] Can anybody flash my phone SGS I9000?

Hi,
I am using SGS I9000 for past 1.5yrs.
I am on stock ROM, i tried to flash once but phone always starts into bootloop. Need to sent it to Service Center by lieing that it wont boot up.
I also heard losing IMEI is common while flashing any ROM.

But my phone is giving a lot of problem, hanging a lot, Force Closes etc..!!
I can pay few amount if my phone is successfully flashed with CM10 ROM.
My location is New Delhi/NCR - India.
Please let me know if anybody is interested here to help me out.
Thanks
Haris

Please check if you're cf-rooted.
If you are, go this website : http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd and download the latest cm9 nightly .zip file.
Off your phone, Go into recovery mode, Wipe cache , factory reset and select the cm9 file from your sd card and install it.
YOU ARE DONE

Did u follow this ? Doesn't go past recovery nor download means? You can still access both mode? Worst comes to the worst just flash stock 4.1.2 Samsung Rom using Odin n follow the guide I attached.

Please tell me what rom were you on previousy before u had this problem. Can u boot to recovery? If you can, try flashing philz_touch_6.19.3-n7000.zip and reboot to recovery again. After that do all wipes: factory wipe reset n Yes I wanna flash a new rom superwiper. Then wipe dalvik cache. After that flash omnirom. If you still can't proceed, then I suggest you flash stock rom first to let your phone boot to system

Ok. So I'll assume u r back to "0". So things to do will be :
1. Root and install custom recovery on your phone. I ALWAYS use older phils recovery + kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed (XXLTA is based on my stock rom BUILD number. Download according to yours) This will give you root (superuser) & recovery installed.
2. After flashing phils, reboot to recovery by using 3 button combo n do ALL wipes the best being wipe factory + I want to install new rom super wiper + dalvik cache.
3. Flash my previous post mentioned phils advanced recovery ( I Always use that vers. N NO error whatsoever) reboot to recovery again n flash your omnirom.
4. DONE
