Update OP to add AutoBoot Androidiani OpenRecovery and Enable AutoStart Scripts for Stock ROMs

Wonderfull! all my favorite fixes in one tread...

Glad you like this idea
I was starting to lose track of where stuff is... lol

Updated with "Upgrading ext2 partition to ext3/ext4" and "Get Messenger Locked in Memory (CM7 SMS issue):"

after I changed my oc values in aor, my phone was stuck on the M logo. It just kept rebooting untill the battery was empty. I didnt notice this because it was in my pocket. and now it is to low on battery to flash an sbf, and if I put in my charger and boot into recovery I cant get past the ! screen. Is there a solution?

Overclock again with the lower value
Hopefully that will work

If you can access your phone thru adb, check out the link below to run AOR directly from adb. Check the last post and enter the commands in order.

Another option. Pull out battery. Connect to charger. Phone should start and show battery image with question mark. Put in the battery and it should charge.

Edit : i just saw that you cant enter recovery menu, so charge your phone first and then apply the sbf of your choice.

I've allready read it, but the phone get stuck on the motorola logo

Well, I am out of ideas then.
Sent from my MILESTONE using Tapatalk

Can you summarize...
As far as I can tell,
You have low battery and can't get past the M logo if you try and boot normally.
If you hold x you can't get past the /!\ (broken button?) to get to recovery
You can't charge the battery.
Can you get bootloader mode?
Not sure if you can actually charge in that mode tho

[Q] I think I bricked it...help would be nice :D

So I flashed the initial kernel file using ODIN3 to my captivate running Continuum __ and I'm getting stuck at the Galaxy S CyanogenMod screen. I was wondering if there is any way to fix this other than purchasing the resistors and making a jig...

Did you try flashing back to stock?

Continuum is a Froyo ROM, right? Were you trying to pair a gingerbread kernel with a Froyo ROM?

First off, what you described isnt even close to a brick.
You need to tell us a couple things. Can you get into download mode? have you tried to flash back to stock?

well the problem is that i cant get into download mode or boot into recovery

Anyway to "adb reboot download"?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

nope cause i cant get the usb debugging to work since it wont boot at all

Been there once...what I did was...removed the battery ..and out my phone in Download mode...flashed back to Stock 2.1 and did everything again
You said you cant put it in DL mode? were your 3 button combo working when U flashed initial kernel?
Its definitely not bricked, try putting it into DL mode and flash to stock..
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.

well when i was flashing initial kernel i just did adb download and the flashed it and when i follow your steps it just puts me back to boot screen and i stay there

so did you read the instructions where it says to not use commands like "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery"? and to make sure you had a working three button recovery before you attempted installation of the ROM?

oohh...i didnt check that, so is that what screwed it up? and if so how can i fix it?

Another one bites the dust...

[Q] LG990 won't boot.

I installed a rom called Eaglesblood from ROM Manager.
When it was all installed, the phone just loops and won't start. The only thing that is showing is the Eaglesblood logo. I tried to boot ROM Manager, but it wont start since the LG logo is not showing.
Is there anything I can do?
One more thing, I tried to connect it to the computer and it is charing, but it does not show as any device on the computer though.

You must wipe your phone before installing a new rom, otherwise you can get bootloops, try it good luck

search around, there's a few very good guides on this and other forums.

You must reboot in cwm and there you can wipe the phone... in option advanced are mire wipe option, best way to install a custom rom is making a fullwipe.. whatch in xda there are many guides for this.

I tried to access the CWM by holding the Power and -Vol on the phone. The phone just boot up and doesn't even go into the cwm. The Eaglesblood logo just repeats all over.
I can take pictures if you like, if it is easier to understand.
Is there anyway to access the phone by USB? I can't even find it on the PC when I plug it in, it just charges itself

If you are unable to recover your phone you can always use NVflash. It will flash one of the first Froyo versions on your phone. Then you can root it, install ClockworkMod and install any ROM you like.

It's low level flashing so use it only when there is no other option.

Thanks! But I still have an error trying to connect my phone to the computer. The USB is charing the phone, but the computer won't recognize the device. It doesn't even popup anything.
I have windows 8 on my desktop, and I tried to plug it in the laptop aswell, but it doesn't do anything. And yes, I have the LG drivers installed already.

If you remove battery and you push vol down key and power button and you connect to usb then you get into recovery mode?

No, it doesn't. The LG logo is just flashing then it turns black and repeats itself like that.
However, i tried only to hold down the vol-down button and plugged the USB in and then it starts something saying:
"S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading..." but it does not show up on the PC as if it was connected.

Yes, so try to reflash cwm.. look at the guids in the section android development..

I'm very thankful for linking me this, but the problem still exist that I can't find my device on Windows. If i remember correctly, the USB connection to the phone stoped to work when I fixed root access to the phone and the CWM.
Is there anything I can do to fix this USB connection issue?

Try this, you can get to the stock via s/w upgrade and smartflash this must work, there is a completr tutorial how to get on stock via smartflash. I hope i can help

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (SGH-i957) Soft Bricked...

I am looking for some serious help, I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G LTE (SGH-i957) through the instructions that I found on this site by first installing Clockworkmode Recovery and then installing Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using Odin. Everything seemed to work fine with this, but then I decided to go one step further and load a over clocking kernel via Odin to increase my Processing speed. This process went fine through Odin and then after the auto reboot it all fell apart... the tablet will now only periodically display the first and second samsung logos and then just go blank or will display the battery icon with power off and plugged into the PC. Either way I have been unable to access the Boot screen or the Download screen...
IS THERE A FIX TO THIS? or am I just finished?
I have tried the "One Click Unbrick" program with no results and Odin intermittently recognizes the device is connected to the PC as the Tablet cycles through what appears to be an 1 second long boot up attempt.
Looking for someones brilliant idea haha...
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Wrong section, but here goes. I'm no expert but Samsung devices are notoriously hard to eff up beyond fixing.
Can you get back into your recovery? I would do that, do all your normal wipes and reinstall a rom with its stock kernel.
If that doesn't work well then, I'd say Odin back to stock. If it's just a soft brick fixing it shouldn't be a problem.
Of course someone else who knows what they are doing could chime in here lol.

I would love to do exactly what your suggesting but I am so far unable to access the download mode using the pwr and vol keys as normal... also where can I get a stock kernel as I was looking for one for hours yesterday with no luck? Do you have any suggestions on how to re-access the download mode in my current situation. Thank you for you suggestions thus far!

If you have a complete TWRP backup from before you flashed the OC kernel, just reboot into recovery and restore boot. That'll replace the HC kernel with what you were running before. That'll save you the effort of going through the entire process again to get back to JB.

Thank you for your response, so far Odin only picks up the device for a second before it disappears again and keeps repeating the cycle over and over agian. It is as if the Tablet keeps attempting a reboot cycle but fails to initialize the booting process? I don't know if I am making any sense to all of you that are much smarter than I at the stuff.
I am trying to time the start of Odin to the point that when it connects to the device that it is also recognizing the device at the same time... Kinda poking in the dark here as I am out of solutions...
The tablet attempts a reboot every 45 SECS and it recognized for only 3 SECS... Thoughts??

You need to get it to stop rebooting and into download or recovery mode. Try every button combo possible. If you hold power down for ten seconds it should shut off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Hold down the volume button near the power button as it boots to get into download mode... the other volume button will take you to recovery.

I have tried every key combination possible with no results the only thing the tablet does is do a quick single vibrate just like it does when you power it on and it boots up just without the actual booting process... and when the tablet is plugged into the PC it displays the battery symbol with the star bright icon over it like its thinking about charging but to my knowledge does nothing beyond that as far as charging is concerned. But it does do the single vibrate once every 45 secs as if it was booting up and is recognized on the PC through Odin for only 3 secs... not sure where to go from here now??

Hold the volume buttons down don't just press them. Also try button combos but instead of hitting power plug your charger in and out to get it to reboot.

Hello people, I'm new to this forum as a friend gave me a Galaxy i9003 for repair but I'm unable to get it working. I've tried to reflash but although it seems to do it then it's always stuck on bootloop. I can get into download mode so I think it's something ain't doing right, so I need your help.
These attached pictures show some errors with internal memory when I get into recovery.

Odd... I don't see why that happened, being on an I9003 shoudn't make any difference...
Try take out the battery and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. It seems to work for some people (or variations of this method).
Or just keep trying to boot into download mode- it has worked for me once before, download mode suddenly working again after getting that symbol.
Worst comes to worst, it requires a USB jig, but there have been cases (including my own) where download mode has been recovered without needing a jig.
Did the error in Odin happen instantly? (you did everything correctly, judging by your screencap)

Please check i9003 for your phone as SGS 1 and 2 software may not be suited for your device just to be on the safe side

Got it into download mode using this method. Then flashed I9003XXKPE package but it's still bootlooping and recovery says that /data can't be formatted. I've seen this method that could solve this situation, but I would like to try to recover data partition before.

read carefully, choose, download urs n flash it, all there
