Help with andromeda 3?

I'm currently on froyo rom andromeda 3. Today while charging my phone. I turned my phone off while it was still charging. My screen froze and now my phone doesn't work. Anyone, please please help me? Took my battery out and put it back but it took me into recovery mode. I tried reflashing andromeda 3 but it didn't work. Does anybody have a fix for it?

with such a vague description of what you did, its kind of hard to help.
is there some reason you opened an entirely new thread rather than using the Q&A we already have???

My friend told me that I might of broken my phone bcause he said that there is a thread thats said u can't have the phone charging while turning the phone off while u are on the andromeda 3 rom. Is there a fix for this without having to go odin?

i have never heard of such a bug.
i can tell you right now, that a reflash should fix it. if it doesnt, then you must have hardware damage, not rom-related.....

If u can...flash andromeda 3. Nothing else just the plain andromeda 3. Now after u successfully flashed it. Let it sit for 10-15min. Turn phone off. Turn back on then connect charger to phone. Then while still charging u turn the phone off, while the phone is still charging. N there u will encounter my problem that I am talking about. Wat do I do? I hope this will help u understand wat i am talking about.

you need to boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount usb storage, and copy a new download of andromeda3 to the sdcard from a computer. sounds like you have a bad install/download
by the way, my experiment has concluded that i do NOT have the issue you are describing......
i can power off and power on my device a million times while its charging....

I've been running Andromeda3 since early May with zero problems. Just for grins I turned my phone off lastnight while charging just to see if I could duplicate what jaydenboy has encountered. After 20 minutes of charging I booted back up with no problems, still smooth as the first day I flashed it.

Here wat i get when i reflash

[Q] [CWM Problem] can't load cache

Ok so i tried flashing Epic got into a bootloop...so went to stock KF1...ODINed the Cognition kernel with CWM...flashed Fasty II V2.0 onto it...The ROM booted up just fine!
Then I went to Market to Download TiBu..but got a error message saying "Device doesn't have sufficient space blah blah" ...I know this..just need to wipe cache partition and am back up running...but when I boot into Recovery...I get this message:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
And every time I try to wipe cache partition..it just skips the wipe and gives the above error again
Shot a PM to LostLogic...till then anyone else who knows the solution to the problem please help me
How do I remove these errors?

It gave Error can't mount cache...
Anyways I fixed this by :
1) ODINed back to Stock KF1
2) ODINed the Stock KH3 tar file onto it
3) ODINed boog's kernel
4) Installed Fasty II V2.0 using CWM 4.0
Now everything seems to be fine again.
No errors while going into Recovery!

[Q] Getting Force Close errors after flashing my SGS GT9000... please help.

I had experiencing a problem with my SGS I9000 wherein I could not completely delete anything that had been installed on my phones internal memory... be it applications \ videos \ images \ etc ... I say completely because it did used to tell me that the contents have been deleted when done in KIES and when I had done a factory reset \ formatted my storage... But the contents kept reappearing everytime my phone started up again... Tired of this I decided to flash my phone using Odin3.
My Phone's specs at that time were (had updated to Gingerbread fro Froyo through Kies):
PDA: I9000DDJV6
Phone: I9000DDJV4
CSC: I9000ODDJV6
Now, I've tried flashing using multiple firmware versions... started with the stock DDJV6 version I found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 ... and followed all instructions on how to use Odin while flashing using PIT 512...
This sent my phone first into a continual boot cycle... I was able to get into the Download Mode again after a few attempts and then, I tried flashing again with the Gingerbread firmware 2.3.3 given here
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-stable-gingerbread-xxjvk/ ...
and when that failed too... I also tried Gingerbread version 2.3.5 .. which was given here...
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-xxjvs-gingerbread-235-firmware/3/
Now, I problem I face is... though am able to flash the rom, I keep getting a whole bunch of Force Close error messages when the phones boots up...
(I've attached some images of the error message I am getting...)
I read somewhere that should be getting the standard setup options such as the Google registration page and language options once the flashing is completed... but I don't get that page at all... I just keep getting error messages as the phone reboots!
I've also restarted the phone in Recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power) to delete cache files and stuff... but that doesn't help either... I can't seem to understand what step am I missing... I must have tried flashing my phone like a dozen times since yesterday but the problem persists...
I would appreciate if you all could help me out of this problem.
Regards,
Vishal

and if it helps, all data including the Apps and other stuff continute to stay on my phone and haven't been deleted... I had checked 'Re-Partition' in Odin3 hoping it would reformat the storage.

I have the same issue! Stuffed if i can find the solution anywhere... Ill keep an eye and ear out though and if i find a fix elsewhere ill let u know here.

Maybe a silly idea but have you tried another a version above odin 1.3? there is 1.7 and 1.8...
Also another silly thing.. You say you can flash the rom's, does that mean you have custom recovery and tried wipe from there as well...

Go into recovery and do a factory reset.. if u haven't already
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Factory reset from recovery menu didn't work for me. Appears to say/do all the right things in the yellow text, but end result is exactly the same as it was. Will try higher Odin versions tonight.

Re:
Thanks for your response everyone.
The Reset option doesn't work for me either... Tried this through the 'Privacy' menu ... as well as getting into the Recovery Mode using the Vol Up + Menu + Start button combination... Please let me know if I've missed any other way to factory reset\wipe the data...
Odin versions... I've used the older version (1.3?) as well as 1.7 ... have also tried using pit 803... but to no avail...
The fact that I can't delete any content on the internal storage drive may mean that it might have got corrupted and may need a replacement?
I am new to this and hence might sound like a noob but I appreciate your patience...

Everyone starts as a noob or beginner, so there are no silly questions.
To totally reset your phone and clear everything off of it you can use the dialer code *2767*3855# : this will delete everything that has been added from your side, including all of your files!
BUT : you should be aware that the formatting starts immediately after you type in the last '#' without getting asked if you really want to wipe everything, so be careful.

Same here; Odin 1.7 didn't alter result. Nor does entering reset code in dialler...

Re:
The other day, I tried to flash the stock rom using the PDA file only... The procedure I followed was... Opened Odin, added PIT 512 and checked Re-Partition, added the DDJV6 PDA file... Hit Start... The process completed and as my phone rebooted again, it went into Recovery and threw up the following error messages:
E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /cache your storage not prepared yet.
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E: copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
Upon clicking 'wipe data/factory reset'
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Does this indicate something?
And, I do keep getting the force close error messages as well... and some of them are for applications like Titanium Backup and Read It Later... which have already been uninstalled .. but they still seem to exist in the phone's memory...

No idea if this will work but I was recently guided to this thread and it maybe of help to you because it says that it brings you back to a proper base... read the last 5 pages as this is usually recommended in long threads and obviously the whole of the first page. The thread I mean is the one where it says efs recovery below

Re:
Thanks Talon, I will surely try this out!
There's a guy who had a similar problem as mine and he seemed to have solved it by flashing EZBase-4.0.7z ... so perhaps it might help me as well... currently on download... will let you know how it went!

Re:
Flashing with EZBase hasn't got rid of the Force Close error messages... I get tonnes of them... for almost everything from android.phone to even applications which I had uninstalled several times but they just mysteriously come back .... everytime I flash...
Do I need to get root access before I can perform a clean flash... as in, with no force close messages?

Try flashing a froyo rom... might help... then after that if you get no force closes flash gingerbread
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Re:
Okay, will download the EzBase froyo version and try flashing that...
As an aside, would you please list the reasons why these force close messages usually pop up? May be I will be able to link my problem to any one of them and then perhaps spot what the root problem could be?
To quote my original problem... To I am unable to fully uninstall the applications which I had installed on my USB storage card... They come back... but most are not functional... I get force close error messages when I try to open them...
And now, am getting force close every time I flash ...

Thanks spamtrash! I will try doing that first... and then perhaps try flashing with EZBase Froyo...

Re:
Okay, so I tried flashing this time using EZBase 2.0 (Froyo version)... and though there were no errors in the Recovery Mode... the force close error messages did come up when the setup wizard is supposed to open... (
Is that some drivers on my phone have not been installed properly which causes these messages to pop up?
I once got an error message saying "Samsung Android" had failed to install ... but when I checked my Device Manager (Win 7)... the ADB Interface was green and installed properly... ??

Does anybody know what all that means?. What have I done wrong?.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance Scotty..

Did you flash a rom that was specific for your device? Can you flash the stock rom and get it operating correctly? You can find the stock Rom at sammobile.com.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I flashed the stock rom that is for my device. I was not able to collect csc file as they were not in the firmware package. I am in the UK and I flashed P7310XEUKJ4_P7310XXKJ4_HOME.tar

I have an i957 but I've never seen it boot the way your tab is. The rom looks like the right one. When you flashed thru Odin you did it with Pda? I don't remember what the checked box are but there are three of them and the two other than pit should be checked. Don't check the pit or you'll run into big troubles.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I used the pit file, stock recovery file and the rom file. I couldn't do the csc file as the firmware package didn't contain one...

I assume you can still get to down load mode and Odin recognizes your device. Flash the stock Rom in PDA. Where you see options, the auto reboot and F.Rest should be checked. Don't check the re partition or flash lock then click start and see if you can get the stock Rom to run.

[Q] CWM stuck at formatting /data

I have a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 running CM 10.1 which was installed about a month back. Yesterday my phone suddenly crashed and after rebooting it got stuck in the boot animation (cyanogenmod logo). I tried wiping the cache and data but when the CM recovery (v4.0.0.5) starts formatting /data it gets stuck. It displays formatting /data... and its their for forever. PS I was experiencing frequent reboots and hangs after I flashed the new badass kernel!
What i tried to did:
1. Updated CWM to latest available version but the problem exists.
2. Tried to restore my backup of cm 10.1 rom but it stucks at 'Restoring Data'.
3. Installed stock rom via odin. When Odin says Close serial port and wait until rebooting, the phone automatically boots into stock recovery
and it says:
" Installing update...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'.
Formatting /cache...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'. "
Odin says PASS but the phone is still stuck at stock recovery.
4. Wiped cache succesfully via stock recovery but it stucks at wiping data/reset (formatting /data...)
5. I then installed back CWM via odin. CWM displays the following message:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any help is surely appreciated.
Thanks.

anyone?

You got so many issues, and seems that you have tried a lot of things already, now first 1 check your sdcard if is it working properly, 2 format system from cwm and then install stock rom via odin (if on samsung logo there isnt boot sound then install stock rom again n again untill sucess) 3after once on stock try reflashing your custom rom.
If still not helpful start panicking
