[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.....

Flash stock rom via Odin.

or custom ROM more better and satisfying

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.

[Q] ICS to GB

Can someone write a proper guide how to revert back from ICS to GB with CF kernel and without CF kernel?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Prior to flashing GB, donot wipe data using stock or cwm recovery on ICS.
Do not use touch recovery to flash GB rom.
Do not restore GB backup from ICS.
Flash GB firmware with PC odin.
If you are stuck in bootloop or there are FCs after flashing GB, don't panic, just wipe data/factory.

Hello guys.
The very same thing like to OP happened to me today in the morning. After reading the warning about ICS bugs I decided to revert to GB through PC Odin. And the result is same .... stuck in factoryfs.img and not able to access recovery ...just download mode. Unfortunately I stopped reading at page 7 or so ..... need to leave the computer right now. If there are any thoughts to help us, please reply .... thanks in advance.
P.S. It looks like MoBo replacement is required, right?

[Q] Galaxy Note stuck on the "GNT7000" logo

I had ICS 4.0.3 installed before which was rooted using CWM and then I decided to install CM9 nighlty after installing the CM9 Rom through CWM i rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the "samsung galaxy note gt n7000" logo.
Ive tried installing many stock roms using ODIN and all of them are stuck on the same thing (2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3)
I can boot into download mode and recovery mode but in recovery mode my phone gets stuck if i select wipe/data option.
Please help.

You should flash the cm9 from gb not ics. There is a warning there that it must be flash from gb.

sorry but you have brick your phone next time follow the developer instructions before flashing theres a thread on how to revive your phone around search it here in xda

Lol,
Next time flash gb with pit file, then from recovery do factory and cache wipe. Reboot

I had flashed my phone using the 16GB pit file with re-partitioning checked, but that too didn't work. Just waiting for the service guys to fix it. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry you've run into troubles. Can you let us know if you get the phone back OK?

dude did they fix your note? beacause i already went to service center waiting for my note...

Hi guys just got my phone back from the service center, its working now:laugh:. They replaced the motherboard of my phone and also the binary counter is zero now.
Please suggest me the best way to install CM9 as the stock ICS is not at all good.
and is there a way to get the SNOTE applications on the custom ROM?

follow the isntructions i nthe roms first post and you cant go wrong
no snote only works with touchwiz not cm9/aosp

Make sure you flash stock gb first with pc odin, don't flash anything else from ics, you'll brick for certain.
Then you need to root and cwm and perform full wipe under gb before flashing cm9.
There are various snote alternatives in the play store which I'm sure others will be able to advise you of, but no toucwizz Samsung apps will run under cm rom.

Is my phone bricked?

I recently upgraded my phone to g-note from s2, it came with gingerbread 2.3.6 out of the box and i couldn't wait to flash it with ICS.
I first tried rooting it first with that runme command prompt tool... but that wasn't successful at all, so i then tried to to flash it with
AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo_2. After reboot my phone got stuck on the boot logo with a yellow triangle. I can still get
my phone into download mode. Problem is my phone has now got 3 counts of binary, can i still flash an official stock rom? What
can i do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Ok. Dont worry about the binary count and yellow triangle.
Your status consider safe and nothing to worry. As l can see u are from s2, therefore i think u will quite well understanding in terms of using pc odin.
It have a lot of method to flash stock or custom rom. Rather thru pc odin / mobile odin and recovery for custom rom in zip file.
1). Download any desire stock ics rom at sammobile.
2.) Unzip the rom file which u download from sammobile.
3. Open pc odin.
4). Boot ur phone into download mode. Connect usb cable to ur phone and pc.
5). Once connected and yellow colour comm appeared. Press pda button and choose the right file.( tar file about 850mb++).
6. Reminder: Do not tick any box other than what im mentioned here.
7). Press start ...you are done.

1.) Kick yourself.
2.)Read the instructions thrice before doing anything.
Now for the real stuff-
3.)Download any stock GB ROM.Stock Roms
4.)Wipe Data
5.)Root it by following the same thread.
6.)Install any ICS ROM.Follow the instrutions to the letter.Then use TriangleAway.apk to clear binary count.(Search the forum for the apk)
7.)You're done.
8.)If you have problems search for a solution.If you don't find it, ask.
Always happy to help

For simple rooting.
1). Download speed-mod k3-13 kerner ( odin version).
2). Flash it thru pc odin.
3). Wait phone reboot and settle down. Download triangle away and reset the binary count follow instruction given. Done.
Good luck mate.

First off all always read related thread carefully before trying new rom on your Note. There are lots of warning in this forum not to use recovery mode when you are on stock ICS rom.
Anyway try to install stock gingerbread rom on your note using pc odin. It is better to use Dr. Ketan`s step by step guide to root your note and installing new rom. I hope you are able to go to download mode. BEST OF LUCK

I guess u bricked ur note..if odin fails, then try claiming warranty from Samsung, if your phone is under warranty..
If not, try jig, JTAG, PIT file methods..*after reading & understanding completely & thoroughly*

I've been there buddy....
1. Download a safe kernel *.tar for flashing from pc odin
- after install u'll be able to get into recovery
2. Get an original firmware from www.sammobile.com
-u r gonna flash it from pc odin along with the PIT file.
-- boot into download mode
-- flash firmware
-- finish... now can continue flash new kernel and ROM
Refer to dr.Ketan's flashing / brick guide

And if you are not sure about flashing a rom,its better to take it again to service center

was it proper Samsung service center?
what did they say? did they change the motherboard?
check if your usb storage is 11gb, if yes, then flash a safe kernel and do a factory reset and test again
