And did you flash your stock kernel back after the rooting?

When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.
Thanks for replying

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify

No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?

I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)

I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.

Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling
Edit: will this one work?

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )

Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB

Hi i am trying to flash my rom with a stock froyo rom but i'm not sure if im downloading the correct one. Ive found them here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=galaxy+rom
And im downloading this one : I9000XWJS8|2.2.1|2011 March|Download
will it solve my problem?
Edit: After flashing a stock kernel a few minutes ago i am unable to go into recovery mode and it still hangs at boot screen, can someone please just give a quick overview on how to flash the new rom.
Thanks

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?

Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!

[Q] Bricked device caused by broken TWLauncher

G'evening guys,
got a little bit of a problem here. My (european) Samsung Galaxy S is screwed. As soon as I boot it up, it loads a custom flashed TWLauncher which immediatly crashes. I can click the message away, but then after a few vibrations it will crash again. I can put it in Kies Mode, but I can't get Kies on Win to start some kind of recovery.
If I try to get into the bootloader, I'm only gonna see the default Samsung bootloader. I tried to push an update.zip on the phone, but it would not install due to some kind of signature errors.
Story first:
1. Rooted it with Superoneclick v1.4
2. Installed Recovery Manager. Not sure if some kind of recovery has been installed, at least none permanent.
3. Updated TWLauncher with SGS Tools in Flash
4. Did a factory wipe
I already tried loading a custom firmware via Update.zip and searched for an official update.zip, but didn't found one.
Also tried to push an older TWLauncher via adb, but this failed as I couldn't use su.
So, does anybody have a clue on how to solve this? Or will the only way to fix it be a send-in to Samsung?

LOL!!!
bricked just because of TWLauncher......
I think that is not brick.....

sry for my english
thx for your answer i have tried a few times to flash my sgs with odin but it didnt work . i have started my sgs into the downloding mode and then i start odin to flash and then it does nothing

did you use a guide for flashing through odin? is your phone drivers installed on your computer? what kind of error?

Alright buddy, I agree sounds like you need to reflash a new rom.
Check out this link. By no means am I ordering you to flash darky's rom (even though it is bloody brilliant) It's a good guide for using odin.
If you follow it down to part 2 of the guide then you will have a basically stock Gingerbread with a few tweaks to make it a better experience.
Be sure to read it carefully as some of it isn't necessarily for you.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...g-rc6-need-to-flash-dark_core_2-2-first.2382/
All credits go to darky, ficeto and ceriko obviously for the rom & guide.
Good luck

It's only a BRICK if the device is completely unrecoverable. This isn't even a soft-brick... the launcher just crashed.
Flash a new rom with ODIN;
or Flash a Kernel with CWM recovery via ODIN, and then boot into recovery.
Odin will work; just make sure you've got the drivers installed.

@kilokilo1066
thx this was a good idea but now i have the problem that odin is standing on set Partition and that over one hour what should i do ?? cancel odin and tried again ?

Thanks for your help my sgs is working again the thread can be closed

You made it sound as if your phone was bricked! lol
I'd recommend you to install the Darky ROM 9.5.
I myself am a totally new Android and Galaxy S user. The first thing I did after unboxing my phone was to flash Darky's 9.5 on it. Its brilliant.
Here's the guide.
EDIT: Turns out I'm not allowed to post links. Well use google!

Glad your sgs is back up and running buddy

Like what everyone els is saying, a reflash is the way to go. Id recomend flashing with EZbase. they offer the best stocklike roms.

Any fix for emmc bug yet?

Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty

You can try to flash with pc odin 1.85 a GB rom with .pit file

Did you have a warranty? And where did u go?

If any of you with this brick can still flash kernels, try to flash the LPF CF-Root Kernel with CWM included. Then boot into CWM and within the "mounts and storage" menu, try to run the options "mount /system" and "mount /data". If i for myself try these two mounts, CWM tells me that it cannot find these two folders ("/system" and "/data").
btw: you can go back to original kernel by using the official method explained here
So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.

Herk718, the problems you mention in your post are the exact same problems I had...and a lot more "members". I think I've tried every possible "solution" up until today, but without any luck. When it's up to me you can forget those posts advising you to flash this or flash that, it just won't work. Every PC Odin flash will stop at factoryfs.img (pit files won't work either)
As you actually said, we have to wait for a fix specific for this problem or bring you note to a SSC.

Of course I have warranty ... but before go to SSC , I flash ICSKernelTest.tar with pc odin to make my binary counter to zero. I'm from Indon****.

Your phone isnt rooted, so you getting this error, try flashing a pre-rooted kernel, i am not sure if it will root a bricked phone or not... no harm in trying : )
Edit: did you flash the kernel provided in forest's guide here post 12?
Flash that kernel, get into recovery mode, connect via adb, repartition, flash gb rom, flash angelom kernel to reset binary count, flash your rom's stock kernel again and claim warranty.
Herk try forest's guide, its got link to hg42's thread about the custom pit method.

simple way, get the firmware u want (preferably the oldset GB version) and download the pit files from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
then load the pit file with different regains ( 1024000 and 2560000kb worked with my note) and be sure u load 16 or 32gb accordingly.
same time load the firmware in pda , select re-partition option in odin and procceed.... start
good luck....
sometimes even u are sucessfull, the note will be stuck at a boot loop, wat i did was a factory reset at cwm recovery , do it at ur risk......(so its better to use GB firmware)

Be careful, you might have one of your partition broken...
My friend had this before, and he finally succeeded to flash N7000DXLR5 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
But then he checked his storage capacity was reduced to 7GB...
Do you have a warranty? If you've got some binary counter or yellow triangle, it is better to remove it first using a jig
Then go to the nearest Samsung Service Center, hopefully you'll get a replacement...

hm... definitely I'm sure one of his file partition is already corrupted...
@OP, you may need to check the thread on the PIT file method to revive your Note(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886)... perhaps you might have the dreaded bug already...

[Q] Galaxy note N7000 32G bricked ?

Hello,
I Purchased on Ebay a 32G Galaxy note N7000
It received it with Android 4.03, but I don't know the history of this device...
I carefully read all the posts about bricked phones.
So I decided to flash my phone using an original GB stock rom which is supposed to be safe.
I directly flashed it without wiping anything before... I didn't even enter in recovery mode
But the flash operation blocks in odin at factoryfs.img... and now, the phone can only enter download mode (not recovery).
Edit 1 : I just tried exactly the same operations with another PC.. and it works !
I presume now that my phone is not bricked...
Edit 2 : the flashing operation in "edit1" succeded, but when I reboot the phone, I have error messages so I can't initialise the phone...
Edit 3 : I tried to flash again with another GB rom, and I'm again blocked in odin at factoryfs.img. Idem with the Rom which worked one time..
I noticed a stange thing before flashing : the phone had only 24G memory when I received it : is it the clue that it has been repartitionned before I bought it, avoiding detroyed parts of its memory ?
Could someone help me to know what to do now..
Is my phone bricked or am I doing something wrong while flashing?
Are there special roms to use with 32G versions ?
One more thing : I uninstalled kies and I stopped my avast but I've the same problem.
Thank you.

Reboot the note and flash Gb again. If successful, boot into recovery mode and wipe data.

I rebooted and tried to flash with a GB rom several times unsuccessfully.
Each time, I'm blocked at factoryfs.img in ODIN....

That's the strong indicator for a bricked device!
And with your information that from 32 only 24 GB were available it seems to be clear that the previous owner used the repartition workaround (see hg42's thread) to revive it.
And after that selling it on ebay!
You should get in contact with the seller and try to get your money back. If he didn't hint in his selling information then you should think about the normal ebay "fraud help desks" (I never used them, so I do not know how this works).

Thank you for your first answer, but something is always strange in my situation : the flashing operation worked once : odin succeded up to the end of the flash operation. I only got problems after reboot. It shouldn't happen if parts of my memory are broken... or there is something I don't understand...
After that, if I decide to try to revive my note, are there special things to do for a 32G version (special rom, special pit file) ?

Flash the abyss kernel u can get from rootgalaxynote.com when in download mode, them youll habe cwm recovery and flash amy zipped rom from there. Goodluck
