[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.

Thanks guys! I reflashed jg4 then updated with Kies to get froyo! I tried reflashing jp5 but it didnt have the optus apps, so I flashed back to jg4 then used Kies.
Thanks!

[Guide]Fixing touch keys problem.

Hey guys.
I ruined my touch keys at my I9000 a month a go and I was so fraustrated.
This phone without the back key is so unusefull, and none had the fix for this.
Untill duckbill22 helped me in my discussion I opened to fix it, and there I saw lots that have this problem too..
Fixing:
1. Get your phone to download mode.
2. Download pit 512, and the I9000UGJH2 Rom.: [Pit isn't included]
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 - Pass: samsung-firmwares.com
3. Flash it through odin [pda= I9000UGJH2-PDA-Kernel-Bootloader-CL490514-Low]
4. Go to dialer, *#*#2663#*#*
5. Touch key update.
6. HAVE FUN!.

I had the same problem...serves me right for pressing things I don't know. God only knows how I haven't bricked my phone yet...
I followed your directions, though I had a stock I9000UGJL2 rom that I used instead, with success.
Thanks for the tip!

sheitmar, does your touch keys activated alone?
I have this issue with my phone. Sometimes the menu or the back key activates it by it self and it's very frustrating. I'm sure I haven't pressed it, nor touched with the palm of the hand. In fact even if I leave the phone alone on the desk it may happen.
Do you think that using the method on the OP would fix this?

I have this issue as well, had it when it firmware was stock but it went away, I've upgraded to Gingerbreak on my Galaxy Captivate and now it's back.
I can temporarily disable the keys by going into *#2663# and starting an update (which never finishes) and then hitting the home key. But then the next reboot the issue is back. And until I reboot I have no working back or menu keys.
Has anyone managed to fix the random firing issue?

Pull out battery, close Odin, put your Galaxy into download mode and open Odin again and try to flash once more.

Fix the dead soft keys! (it works i9000m)
hello you all after hours and hours of looking for a solution to fix the soft keys on canadian galaxy s vibrant i have come to an answer that works!!
if you did the touchscreen update in gingerbread.gkg3 and after that your soft keys died its easy to get them back up.
first thing you need to do is get odin and be able to use it.
second thing youll need to use is gt_i9000m_ugl2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1102881
once downloaded flash phone,pda and csc.
when youre done that reboot and let the 3e recovery do its stuff it might take some time.
boot into android and go to your dialer and type *#*#2663#*#* and press touck key fw update.
voila after this you should be able to get them to work.
if you need any assistance feel free to ask.
i spend days looking for a solution.
i dont know if it will work in any other i9000 devices as this is only for i9000m form bell.

Froyo
Every hosting of Froyo I can find has been subject to take down, or the domain is gone. If you still have Froyo, could you host it somewhere? Please let me know, my phone is little more then a brick without it.

[Q] Wont boot - stuck on S screen

I switched my phone on this morning and found it wouldn't boot beyond the S screen. I'm using a stock 2.2 rom downloaded via Kies some months back. It isn't rooted. The phone has been running perfectly until now. I tried 3 button recovery/download mode but these wont work. This is what happens:
1. Power on = the GT-I9000 screen
2. Animation and song
3. S logo screen - the S changes colour
4. One vibration signal
5. Three vibration signals
6. Black screen and occasional single vibration signal.
7. Both soft buttons remain lit.
Is there a way I can fix this to avoid having to send my phone away for two weeks?

Remove battery for an hour and try .
Download recovery jig from General pages .

Thanks - will try these

If you are able to get it to download mode, just get the stock firmware files fron samfirmware and flash it through odin....i went through the exact same issue a few days ago....dont worry..you should be fine

I've tried it but it still doesn't work.

I had the exact same issue on my phone when i got it originally and then updated to 2.2.1. Via Kies.
About once a week when i switched it off at night, come morning it wouldnt boot up, had to go into recovery mode and reset factory settings every time which was a real pain. Eventually read up on here enough times to figure out how to use Odin and flashed stock FW and never seen the issue since. You need the 3 button combo to work however to do this.
On GB now and all good.

strange problem with charging, bootloop, pls help

Hi,
I rooted my note some weeks ago and I was searching the web, reading all kind of threads and thinking what the problem might be for the last weeks. Finally I decided to register myself on xda and to post my problem.
Like mentioned before I rooted my note via CMW and then flashed a franco kernel, unfortunally I dont know which version, but no custom rom. It all worked fine for 14 maybe 16 hours, then the phone froze after opening a app and after that it stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I tried to enter recovery but it didn't work, I can enter downloadmode but I ran out of battery before I could do anything.
Now the phone keeps turning itself on and off the whole time when I try to charge it, the battery image comes for like 1 second and after that the screen turns black again. The battery itself is new so that shouldnt be the problem. I charged it like that for like 4 hours and then tried to enter downloadmode but it only says "battery to low to download".
I hope it is not a hardware problem. If anybody has a idea please help me, I am getting desperate.

EDIT: I came from offical 4.0.4 ICS

How old is your phone? Try with another good battery.
Suggestion: you may flash gb via PC Odin and check phone back to normal.

I got my phone last april, so it is not even a year old, but I got a new battery some days before rooting it... I'll try/have to get another one anyway.
Could you give me a link for a stock gb rom please.
Thank you for your quick reply.

Kindly go thru Guru 'drketan' threads and posts.

Found it. Should I use a rom with three parts or with only one? And can I use any rom or one with a special "code" that suits my device, e.g. german....
And just flash the rom and then fullwipe or is wiping not necessary?
I am sorry for the questions but I want to do everything right.

You can use any. Wipe in GB recovery.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday I finally found somebody to charge my battery, today I flashed a GB stock rom, but I still can`t get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Note logo... It worked one time but I turned the phone off to insert my sim card and it got stuck again.
I tried flashing with pit file and bootloader as well, but no luck.
Could it be a hardware problem? Could a J-tag repair fix it?
Thanks in advantage.

Now your on safe GB rom, enter recovery wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvick cache.
Let's know the result

I tried, but I am not able to enter recovery... I press volume up + home + power but I only get the N7000 logo. I have read that you have to press the home button in the right moment to enter stock recovery, could somebody tell if that is true and if yes when do I have to press?

Anyone an idea please? I can enter download mode but not recovery, I downgraded to gb 2.3.6.KK5, I flashed abyss 4.2 but I can get to recovery mode or past the GT N7000 logo. Three times it got to the "package installing" page and one time it even started then I switched it off to insert my sim card and again stuck at the N7000 logo.
I need help please...

You have to press the three button combo "a long time" and the power button should be the last one to use.
I always wait until the Samsung Logo appeared 2 times and I see the next animation (depends on your kernel/recovery).
So please try again and hold the three buttons longer.

I flashed the 3-part lc1 gb and did a full wipe. The phone now starts sometimes but gets stuck at the n7000 logo most of the time. When it starts the whole UI feels very laggy, eg. while typing. Recovery mode started one time out of 1000 tries. I am afraid that something with my hardware is wrong. Any ideas? Could a Jtag be a solution? Please help.

try again to get into recovery and do a factory reset from Gb recovery..

press it until you get to recovery. DO NOT remove your fingers when you see n7000 bootlogo. keep pressing . keep pressing. keep pressing.

I made it in the recovery, did another fullwipe, but it still lags while typing or opening/closing an app and still does not boot proper, I have to try several times to get past the logo screen and it works only when I go in downloadmode and boot from there. Entering the recoverymode still only works randomly. Any idea?
Edit: it also lags while scrolling down/up

In all you posts here you never wrote exactly what version of which Rom you installed in whatever way.
That's why I'm still not convinced that you have "defined state" and giving good advice is try&error.
So please start telling: how did you flash, what GB or ICS or JB version, Stock Rom or Custom Rom.

,Sorry, I flashed the n7000xxlc1 - open europe with odin PC, stock, prerooted and in 3 parts. After that I did a fullwipe, the phone turns on after a few tries, most time after I go in download mode and restart from there. It lags while it is on, like short freezes, I tried to install the OTA update to ICS but failed.
Before that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo after flashing a franco kernel via CWM (I am not sure which version but it came with the guide to root, so I thought it could not be bad)
Edit: I flashed the xxlsc 4.1.2 jelly bean offical leak via odin PC, and I still have the same problems. I takes 5-6 reboots to actually start the device and it is very laggy, almost unusable. Every second or so it freezes for short time.

Any help please? I would send it to someone to do a JTAG repair if this could help. I just dont want to waste the money, so if anyone has experienced a problem like this please help me.

Is this a brick revived phone?

[Q] Help needed please with my gt-n7000

Hello guys,
My problem is that I checked for update on my Galaxy note GT-N7000 running JB 2.1 [I guess] and after completing the download, the phone restarted it self and stuck on the green android with an open belly with spinning geometrical shape, after few seconds the screen goes black then return to the android again. This kept doing the same thing over and over again. I tried removing the battery but the same problem remains. I tried holding the up+power+home keys but nothing happened. If i press the down volume key instead of the up key the phone goes to a warning screen for downloading costume OS.
Please help, Anyone !!!
:crying:

You can't switch to recovery/CWM but you can switch to download mode.
So we have something to work with.
Download a Stock JB Rom and install it with PC Odin. It will be a no-wipe and so your data and settings aren't deleted.
You can find the Roms on www.sammobile.com or here in Dr. Ketan's thread with a tutorial how to install.
If this doesn't work please make a snapshot of the errors in Odin when trying to install. Then we have to analyze again.
