Sgh-i957 wont boot - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

OK so I loaded the da-g rooted kernel, ran fine for a few minutes then hung up, after reboot it wouldn't go past Samsung splash. Can still get into cwm and download mode but flashing telus rom and other kernels still gets same result. Anyone have this problem and know a solution?

Boot into recovery and wipe everything. Then flash the att stock via Odin.
Not getting past the splash screen is a sign of a kernel issue.

[Q] Cannot load back up

I have cm7 and I install the new update every night, and it works fine. I then installed a new kernel 2.6.35.11 AP #2 and every thing continued to work fine. I then went to install RC 4 and when my phone reboots to go into recovery it just doesnt go into recovery it just stays at HTC white screen. This happens Evan if I try to boot up and hold home no matter what I do I cannot get into recovery. So I cannot restore a back up or put the old kernal back on or update my rom. Any ideas would be helpfull.

if your phone works, try flashing another recovery with rom manager .
How am I saposed toflash a new rom if every time it trys to go into recvovery it stays at the white screen?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Evan if I press install new rom in rom manager it has to boot into recovery to install new rom? It just hangs up right at the white screen before it goes into rom recovery

Re-Flash the same recovery you were using.

Or you could RUU and start from scratch. As long as you reinstall the same recovery, you can nand restore.
What is ruu? I can't flash anything if it doesn't go into recovery???

F it how do I start from new if my phone hangs up going into recovery???? I'll just do that.

That's what RUU does. Go to the HTC site and download the stock Sprint software update, or get it from here.
were talking about flashing a new recovery via rom manager, not a rom. Either reflash cw via rom manager or alternate like ra from bottom of screen on rom manager. It flashes right inside rom manager, doesnt take you to recovery. If that doesnt work do the ruu.
I found out how to do this connect your charger than turn your phone on and then pull battery out. Then hold volume down and home and then press home again to go to recovery and install zip files again and it will work. I did this and it worked.
Thank you so much that worked perfectly, the last post that is.

[Q] Captivate stuck in Fugu Boot loop

So I was trying to follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
But I did NOT have a KF1 Rom. Now I'm stuck in a fugu fish reboot loop. I have tried VOLup and Down + power, I have tried VOL Up+power, I even made a 301k resister jig, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any more suggestions on getting my phone up and running again?
Flash dgs kf1 kernel and your set
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
The fugu is a kernel swap root method.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Oh yeah use Odin to flash the kernel...or you can just flash a stock rom and star over
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Same problem here
I'm having the same issue. The problem is that there is an infinite loop during loading. Either:
1. the att screen to fugu fish, repeat.
2. the "initiating charging" to reboot.
adb wont recognize it and because plugging it in takes it into a new reboot, the hard button combo wont work.
I've tried all of the possible button combos.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the fugu is gonna do that I believe its just for rooting purposes. Pull battery enter download mode flash the correct kernel for your Tom with Odin. Good to go

Yeah, you're right but I couldn't 3-button into download. I jig fixed and now I'm good and loaded cog5.
The only problem I have now (which I had before) is that I cannot boot into recovery mode. It just boots to the at&t screen and then gets brighter.

Load Cog kernal and you will have recovery back.
As popfan said, you need to flash the cognition 5 beta 2 kernel before you flash the final rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
please people for the love of all that you hold dear. Stop flashing till you know WTH your doing. It is hard to be willing to help others when hundreds of people make the same mistake because they are not reading and and being LAZY by just following a video. I am hard pressed to feel sorry for bricks that come from lack of effort on the users part. With the coming changes you may want to be sure you understand what your doing before you do it.

Is my Nexus completely dead?

Long post but can't really shorten it.
32GB wifi Nexus, rooted and was running Liquid Smooth ROM and Motley kernel, went to update the ROM to rc9 version ,anytime I updated previously I never done full wipe unless using different ROM, anyway flashed the ROM and the gaaps with it and rebooted, immediately and prompted to me to use either apex or Holo HD I choose Holo HD got error saying system ui not responding, tried apex and got the same.
I was on the main screen but couldn't access it, yet I could pull down and enter into settings, everything else looked to be ok, so rebooted back to recovery and tried fixing permission, rebooted and got the same so I though I'll be just restore my nandroid backup, to my astonishment all the data had been wiped, I didn't do a wipe at all so I'm baffled how this happened.
Anyway I done a factory reset and rebooted and went through the setup, got the same system ui not responding, went to settings which could still access, apps and un installed both Apex and Holo HD noticed that Liquid Smooth rc9 had installed but instead of showing the cm kernel it still showed motley kernel.
Back to recovery, factory reset twice, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, went through set up process, same system ui error again, went to settings, erased all data, tablet rebooted, set up process same again, system ui, so I'm getting worried so back to recovery and this time I selected format system, data and sd, card and now I think I've completely fuc#ed it up as it just hangs at the Google screen and has stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Previously asides from the occasional force close issue in the 2 months I've had the Nexus not really had a problem with it and whilst I'm no developer or techy geek I'm certainly no noob when it comes to this type of thing but I'm very concerned now and hoping someone can be of assistance as I sold laptop and primary just use my Nexus (and Galaxy S3)
Thanks

Strange.. But I didn't understand well, after wiping /system, did you flash the ROM back ?
I think you should flash 4.2.1 factory image using toolkit or whatever, then root etc..again
No all the data had been wiped this is what is baffling me, I didn't do a factory reset I just flashed the ROM and gaaps, as I said initially it was the system ui error I was getting but I think I've fucjed it up by formatting the system, data and sd card as all I can see now is the Google screen at boot, I can still get into clock work mod recovery but I've exhausted all avenues as it were, is there any hope I can get it back working again?

Yes ! Really easy to use. You'll just have to put the tab into fastboot mode give it a try I'm pretty sure it will solve everything and you'll start back with good bases as it is full stock !

First Download and install the fastboot drivers...Download the stock Image here:-
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
then hold volume-(Down) Button and while holding the Button power on the device..it will take you into the bootloader. Now conne4ct the nexus to your PC...Now extract the file you downloaded (the Stock image)..keep extracting the files till you get the system.img file.Use fastboot to flash that(the command):
fastboot flash system system.img
Boot into fast boot, push a stock image. Ta da. Easy stuff. The basics.

Phone only boots into fast boot mode

I just flashed latest trickdoid rom on my ATT HTC one and it paused in recovery. I then had to go back to fast boot mode. Now I can't boot into my cwm recovery or reboot my phone.

Did you try re-flashing CWM from your PC? I had a similar problem a few nights ago. The CWM logo would flash up for a half second then reboot continuously. I could only get it into fast boot also.
