Sry for my lack of grammar and bad spelling
Im just rootet my phone, and cuz of low skillz and understanding i didnt install cwm, before i deletet my launcher, and messed up my phone. Now im stuck, i can start my phone, and people can call me and so on, but i got no launcher, so i can dont do anything especially not when my phone not is set in debug mode anymore, after i reset it.
can anyone upload a idx file so i can try restore it trough the pc tool, or give me some advise on new ideas for fixing it, i have tried nv5flash but it says im not connected, nothing happens when i hold down both the vol keys, and as mentioned im not in debug mode
Sorry but I have no idea how you could reverse this, I did however find this guide which might help a little though:

For future notice, you should probably read thoroughly up on some guides before starting to mess with your phone in that manner.
I hope the link helps, and GL trying :S
I've done that twice in both my Android phones. lol.
For the Optimus 2X, just Smartflash* it.
*Smartflashing will system wipe your phone.

Hey guys its been a while since I've even tried to fix my phone cause everyone was saying its dead. But I've been reading stories of people coming back from the G1 logo. So i could really use your help.
Heres the problem, A while back I dropped my old G1 and had to get a new one. Upon looking for the video I used last time to root my phone, I couldn't find it. I searched high and low but to no avail. I figured any video would work as long as it rooted me. So I started up the video. however once i was "done" with it i noticed nothing had changed. So i figured the video was garbage and found another one and started it up. I know, STUPID. Well when i booted my phone after wiping and flashing. It stayed on the G1 logo. I knew the worst had happened. So now i don't know what to do. There have been one or two occasions that I've gotten it to boot loader. So i know i can get there. but what do i do when I get it?
Also, no, I never got to flashing raido's or anything like that. I thought I wasn't rooted so i didn't move on.
I know it was long but I'm getting all the info out there. Please help, I think its possible, and if it is I want my phone back!!!
What were you installing by the way?
EDIT: Made a mistake, thought you were able to boot into recovery.
He does not get to recovery, but into bootloader mode (cam + power on). This is good, as there is a good chance to recover from that.
Try the first section of this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
You have to flash the correct dreamimg.nbh via bootloader. You might need a Goldcard to do so, in certain countries, but lets just hope that is not the case (would be more work...)

Please I really need help.
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

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

Hi everyone.. after hours and hours of reading and studying on this website I really got myself into a mess and I just can't seem to climb out of it.. I desperately need some grade A help..
To be descriptive, I was trying to flash Serendipity 7, I was following the steps, used odin 3 1.7, I put all the files where they needed be, and followed it down to a tee, I pressed start, and then my phone goes into a boot loop... So I google around to look for solutions, and I thought I found one, well after I flash this "P-SBL.tar.md5" some tar file that is meant to fix the 3 button recovery mode issue. (Basically my cappy can't select anything in recovery mode due to it not having a "ok" button..) So I try it.. and not my recovery mode is littered with multi colored lines.. and I can't seem to get them to go away.
If anyone can help me I would forever be in your debt.. I would be happy just to go back to stock 2.2 if possible.. or perhaps advice on getting serendipity 7 to work.
I could make it happen if only I could get my recovery mode to work. D:
Please anyone help, I'm in dire need..
Thanks!
Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"
Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.

+ 100
Totally agree !!
suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.
They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.
I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x
I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.
I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.
^
Keep us posted on the end result.
I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.
Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.
EDIT:
Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.
EDIT 2:
Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..
I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..
EDIT3:
Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.
I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.
Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.
Welcome. What a beautiful week after returning my black from the site. I want to upload to the different versions of android by smartflash. And here what? Instead of loading bar appeared strip of negatives. Literally. Instead he charged up, the bar was in place and was -23% Disassociate so I took the phone and batteries, and now a repeat of entertainment: nothing again, the phone died, will not turn on. No it does not refer to life. You somehow in safe mode or something? I know a little bit on that. Either way home. Even the logo lg does not blink, nothing, the phone does not respond. Help, in desperate need of help, not che went to the site again. I beg Is there any other way to fix it? Sorry for my english :crying:
Sorry man, but you should maybe buy a NOKIA 3110 again
Couldnt help myself
Ok, can you still turn it into download mode? Plug in USB cable, while you are holding the Volume UP key?

I tried this and nothing, as the phone will not even turn on.
Off to the LG service center and better dont touch it again after you get it back... If you dont have special hardware, which costs definitly more than a repair, you cant bring it to live again.

Hi N00BY0815, sorry for asking here, supposed to be contacted on PM
Actually, what problems cause the HARD BRICKING ?
Generally, I know is Erasing entire CP and loose cable while ROM installation is going on.
Literally, you helped with your (BIG NOOB HOW TO), all the noobs who are using OB..
What I meant is, prepare some instructions to avoid HARD BRICKING and create a thread for OB users.
I know XDA from CM7, but never tried. After only seeing your NOOB HOW TO, I dare to try CM10.
Tons of THANKS to you.

Hard Bricking is only possible with SFT when
a)you disconnect (or power failure,anything that interrupts the process) the phone during when busy with the u-boot or x-loader (you can say update gone bad and they should fix)
b)there is a previous hw problem with the phone that caused a mistake (they should fix this as your tinkering didn't cause this)
c)bad cable or usb port that caused a mistake (might refuse since it's your bad hw)
d)flashing wrong (wrong as in :firmware for phone with different bootloader) or seriously corrupt firmware. (Highly unlikely to get corrupt as it's only 512kb odd out of the whole file that needs to be ok for emergency recovery to be accessible), (they won't fix, their update tools checks validity and model before flashing)

Port and cable are good because they've a thousand times podpinałem the same cable to the same port, so it's not possible that it would suddenly angry. And he heard someone plug something about the service?

Lol...i would have told you to ask xonar!
Hi guy,
I'm a little bit upset. Since 2-3 month, my phone was a little slow and with a lot of bug. Before changing it and because I had the idea since a long time, I want to try to custom my phone with Cyanogen.
I looked a lot about mobile but i never put my hands in, so I'm not very familiar with all vocabs and different concept. So I tried to find a simple tutorial to do it.
This morning I decide to try to do it and I begin with the CM tutorial: Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
As soon as I begun my phone doesn't have Download Mode (with Home, sound down and power button) and I am stuck... I begun looking for some solution to get download mode (I saw an other method with command line but I saw that we could brick the phone...)
And there I found a lot of different forum but nothing simple and complete (I don't understand how we could lose download mode or root from "flashing"...)
So if somebody could help me step by step to customize my phone, I will be really greatfull. I don't plan to understand everything but if I could it will be a bonus.
Thanks in advance
Guillaume
check ur fone first n make sure if ur got i9000 or 9000b or M110S or anything else
