I think was "OneClick Root"...
I'm trying to find .tar files to recover using Odin but I can't find... Old SGS + Froyo + Portuguese TMN (carrier)... Any help would be apreciated.

Heeeeeelpppp
Now things are getting very strange. I got the original firmware and flashed the Galaxy S with Odin. All went well without errors. But now, when restarting, the device makes the carrier original sound and is swapping between the carrier logo and galaxy logo, endlessly....
I can use the pseudo-CWM menu with the options Install from sdcard, Wipe Factory and Wipe.
Any help or idea to follow?

[Q] Help! Black screen and vibrate every 2min

Im pretty new to androids and I installed the Battery Icon Mod without realising that I could harm my phone. Now on reboot it gets passed the "S" screen but just sits there with a black screen and vibrates every 2 min.
Im a bit unsure what to do from here.
The details of my phone are:
Build#FROYO.DTJP5
BaseBand I9000DTJP3
PDA: TJP5
Phone: DTJP3
CSC OPSJP4
Build:2010.11
Austrailian, Optus Network.
I recently reverted from recovery 3e to 2e (no clockwork Recovery) and did the fix to enable the 3 button recovery (Im very glad I did this now!!). I also got root with z4root and have a full app and system backup on my sdcard with Titanium backup
I dont know too much about the details of flashing (Although I was learning as much as possible as I wanted to apply the z4mod with EXT2 lagfix).
What should I try first to minimise damage and get back to as stock as possible?
edit:
I should just add that I have gone to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and found what I believe to be my firmware I9000DTJP5|2.2|2010 November listed under USA, would this be the same? I have also downloaded the CSC file which dosent seem to include my version (Do i even need to flash this file??)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help but that didnt work
Went into the recovery and chose "wipe data/factory reset"
Still got black screen and intermittent vibrating. When I press the back button I also get vibration.
Do I need to flash? If so what files do I need to flash? Just the PDA?

Flash stock rom with odin. Search these forums for the stock optus rom or download 2.1 jg4 from samfirmware to get your phone up and running then flash jp5 again.

oke i figured that much yesterday, when reading some topics, but wich rom do i need to use?? because i dont know how to root the tab because it wont boot ore is rooting not a must?
dude... get the latest 2.3.3 firmware...
you may check www.samfirmware.com to see latest firmware for your deivce. If you are in ASIA region, look for JPI edition. Its good, fast and stable.
Use ODIN to flash, with REPARTITION ENABLE... once complete flashing, reboot, and repeat the FLASHING again... DO IT TWICE..., but REPARTITION ONCE only...
Do i have to fully boot between flashing, or after first flash straight to download mode?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
to play safe, let it boot.. but you can skip the configuration and shutdown and go into download mode..
Oké gona try it when i get home

Im at your same state. My tab hangs on samsung logo and lets me to download alone. I can help you with the drivers part. Im sure you have the Kies in your system. Just push the on button and connect your phone to the pc and run Kies. You have an option to troubleshoot which will update the drivers for your phone. This worked for me. For the rest of the part, there is a chap who is helping me on this forum and he advised me to go for stock ROM. Ill try that today after sufficiently charging up my phone.
I ve been searching for a while now and looks like this is common and nothing much to worry about. Ill keep you posted on what happened on my attempt to odin flash the stock ROM.
Hello friend, my tab is back and working fine now. Hope tried connecting kies to get your driver up for the tab. Once its up you can get to the download and flash stock rom using odin. This would bring your phobe back to life.
I am currently running on overcome experience rom. Its pretty good and they have great instructions on their site. Try that you should be all set.
Best of luck.
I have the exact same issue. I've been trying to flash a Euro 2.3.3 for the last 5 hours. Anything special you did before I create a new thread? I've done this a billion times on my old tab....I just got this one today off ebay.

Can you be more specific on the state of your G-Tab?
What firmware were you using before the problem occurs?
if you are updating from proyo, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs. For your reference you can follow these following steps (given you can access download mode).

I doubt you will ever get Kies to work with custom ICS rom in your tab.

Galaxy Note stuck at Samsung logo after automatic update..PLEASE HELP..!!

Hi guys,
First of all m a noob here and got here after doing alot opf research on google but have not find any solution yet. I have got a major issue with Galaxy note, never been rooted.
So I have been using ICS on my Galaxy Note for almost a month now, and a week ago, I saw a message telling me that an update had been downloaded and the phone would be rebooted to install the update.
I clicked the OK button in the dialog box, and my phone did reboot but is now stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (after the initial musical animation, which incidentally was terminated midway).The phone got quite hot after about 20 minutes, so I switched it off by pressing the power button. Then I switched it back on after a while, and it was stuck at the flashing Samsung logo. N now its stuck there..
Restart does not work...
Recharging does not work...
Battery swap does not work..
I contacted the service center, they say they will flash the firmware but all the data will be lost and also they are not taking this in WARRNTY.
Can anyone help me with this please.. its been dead for a week now.
sorry for bad english
re:
Also tried POWER OFF+VOL UP+HOME .. a android green logo comes up. but again phones goes to samsung logo and stucks...
however,POWER OFF+VOL DOWN+HOME button gets me to a yello triangle logo and asks if you want to install custom rom...
Please help me guys...!!
^^
where you using the stock kernel itself on ICS?
do the latter..
boot to download mode, then try to flash your phone back to GB using PC ODIN. Once it's in stock GB, work your way up again to ICS. And oh by the way.. sorry to tell you this, but I don't think you can recover back your data after since this process will erase everything on your phone.

So which stock GB should i download, there are so many here and m confused which one will work for me.
Thanks in advance Sir.

Ok, Thanks again John.
i have i more doubt. The stock rom thread says "Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly". i have installed kies but when i connect my phone to it, it gives me Mtb driver bot installed properly error.. would it create a problem?
Yes it would.. try to completely uninstall and reinstall Kies and try later on, to plug your phone again.

Rooted Note 1 in bootloop after update

Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.
Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.
Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me
Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.

[Q] How do I save my (bricked?) phone? (after system wipe :( )

Here goes: in a stupidity attack, before installing a stock rom, I wiped everything but the external cared (YEAH, the SYSTEM too). I then flashed the rom, and it never installed (my phone got stuck on showing the "samsung galaxy s advance" for over half an hour).
(might be relevant: the phone was rooted, and had CoCore + TWRP installed)
What should I do? How do I get my phone back? Can it be saved? :crying:

Is the device still can enter the download mode? If yes. Downgrade to GB. Find a guide in the general section on it. Good Lucks.
thanks, I managed to recover it through TWRP

Referring to that matter, the same thing has happened to me but even the stock GB is stuck on the Samsung logo. Also, it looks like a bootloop, it keeps restarting.
Any help is appreciated.

I closed my phone (took the battery out) and then pressed power-soundUp-button for recovery, and reached the recovery. I restored from a backup I had on my external card. If you don't have a backup, you can put stock rom on your external card (directly from your PC with a card reader dongle) and flash it.
The other option is to install a stock rom by downloading it to your phone through the computer with Odin. That means that you download Odin and stock rom. To do this you still need to take the battery out (to close the phone), put it back in, and then press power-soundDown-button to download (the difference here is sound-DOWN). Then work according to the tutorials about using Odin (don't forget to open the file as admin!).
Good luck!

Are you trying to do a factory reset/wipe data via stock recovery?
I think I have done this, yes. Do you think this was the reason for the bootloop?
However, I've now succsefully flashed Slimkat, it looks promising.
I hope I won't have to turn back to GB or JB in the future.
