[Q] Possibly bricked internal storage I9000

Hi guys,
I tried to root my Galaxy S with Odin using a tutorial from techlivez (can not post link since this is my first post here PM me for link).
I followed all the steps as described but after succeeding the phone got stuck in a reboot loop, only showing the samsung i9000 screen then going blank for a sec before returning to the I9000 screen. I tried to fix this by using other packages (wich ones exactly I can't remember since I tried so many). I now reached the point where the phone does boot up to the glowing S screen, after that the screen goes blank with the two buttons glowing.
This night I was looking for a fix for that just to stumbled upon a tutorial on cyanogenmod forums. (again PM me for link) The solution is pushing a couple of files to /sbin/. I tried following the steps described in the tutorial but when I try to push files to the phone (connected in recovery) I get this message: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push e2fsck /sbin Failed to copy 'e2fsck' to 'sbin/e2fsck' : Permission denied. I get this message for each of the 6 files I am supposed to copy. How do I get around this?
I really want to fix this phone. To be honest it is not even mine, I was rooting it on request of a friend of mine and since I sucessfully rooted my HTC desire and have been running nightlies for about half a year now I thought it should be oke.
Please help, any ideas thoughts or tips are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
L. Visser.
P.S. Not being able to post links does not really help me, so hereby a small complaint.

[Q] Galaxy Tab Wifi P1010 is stuck in a loop...

Hey guys
Got a problem here regarding my GT-P1010
Basicaully I've followed a guide to install Froyo using Odin onto my Tab. The problem is the Tab now starts, goes to the home screen and after a few seconds automatically restarts. This cycle will keep on going unless I hold the power button and turn off the device.
I used a p1010 firmware from samfirmwares which I thought would be compatible.
Anyone else had a problem similar to mine and found a solution?
I've got access to recovery so I can wipe and install a zip, however I can't find a ROM in .zip format anywhere. Development seems to be concentrated alot towards the GSM or CDMA versions

ok you have gone into bootloop there cause it was the wrong version, (don't think there is any others that can bar stock. You need to get stock back onto your device.
Did you take a copy of it before you flashed?

check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
and follow the steps and flash safe , Do not flash any roms\kernels that not made to your tab . or may aliens from the space will eat your nuts

K0sh there is none for the p1010 we can root and overclock install themes and such waiting for spacemoose to save us.
But its an excellent thread so ya should check it out just to reaffirm

i give him the guide to download the rom that made for his tab . and flash it . Spacemoose1 is saving us all

Thanks for the help guys. I've tried using Odin again with the latest firmware, but for the wifi version dont you have to select CSC as well in Odin?
I tried with just PIT and PDA files selected and with re-partition on but I still have the same problem.
Device starts up, goes to home menu and I get process crash report and then the device restarts itself

Can you get to download mode? if you can and there should be no reason try flashing from there the file should be place but clear cache prior to the flash.
Btw froyo is what we are on so why would you be trying to flash this is the stock?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Hi Alex
Yes I can access Download mode.
I'll clear the cache in recovery before I go to download mode.
Yes I am trying to flash stock firmwar, because the tab just keeps restarting itself when it boots to the main menu. I get an error message that android.media.process has crashed and then the loop starts all over again

Is this your backup stock?
if so worried that you changed the baseband.. Should have my tab back in the morning to help but and am not sure if the but did you download the correct region from Sam cause this sounds like either the bootloader got screwed.. Would clear everything again flash if you follow the instructions on the relevant link again that k0sh gave.. And on final boot this may take a while go leave the device let it finish then come back hopefully it will have finished then if that works great. If not then would imagine its back to sammy cause you have done everything right. Nor unleash come one else has any other ideas... Will ask just incase

What does android.media.process control? Can you install titanium and freeze that process?

Hi again Alex
The firmware I am trying to flash is the stock European one from samfirmwares. i dont have a backup so im just trying to use what i can access online. i've tried multiple versions of Odin from 1.3 to 1.85. ive left it to download the rom, it installs itself succesfully, does a few things in recovery mode, starts,goes into the home screen but i still get the same loop sequence. if you could somehow give me a backup from your Tab (if its a european one) then that would be greatly appreciated.
@ranger: Im not sure what the process controls to be honest and i cant even use the tab before it restarts itself again.
Also I've seen this post by from another thread

Yes, absolutely! Your best very is odin 1.7. PM the other fellow and get it done!

I have the same problem with my galaxy tab p1010 with the boot loop with media stopped error, could you please help me too? and transfer the file that you mentioned??
please let me know

You can pm (personal message) members directly for things like files, because most people can't post links or host files.
Just tap the member's icon on the left and choose "send a pm". Be sure to give them your email address.

[Q] Signed samsung zip

Hi. I have been trying to find an solution to my problem for 3 days. I have looked all over here and the rest of the internet. I believe what I need is an update zip file that will pass the standard e3 recovery.
I have downloaded several zips already(a couple from here), that say they are the stock samsung firmwares, but everytime I put it on an sd, then try to apply the update with it, in the e3 recovey I get E: signature verification failed.
I got to this point by trying to apply the OTA update. ( ok, you can all throw rotten food at me now). I thought I was safe as I didn't have any custom firmware on there. I had, however gained root access. The update went fine and seemed to work, then it finished and tried to reboot, only to get stuck on the samsung logo for over an hour before I decided it had gone wrong and panicked.
The usual ways of fixing I know about are odin, heimdall, adb. None of these are working. I think it's my computer being too old. Odin doesn't detect, Heimdall sees there is a device there but has problems connecting to it. adb will only see it in the e3 recovery mode and not in odin mode and even then because it doesn't seem to be root anymore it can't really do much.
I am open to suggestions on how to get something to work. My thoughts are that I just need a gingerbread rom that has some samsung siigning on that I can put on an sd and use that in E3 to flash from there. I can then work from there if that works. Feel free to laugh and point and tell me that's not gonna work, but if you know a way that will work I would be very grateful.
Thank you for listening and I hope someone can help.

Open kies, do the connection troubleshooting to reinstall device drivers.
Then follow path of flashing stock with PC Odin with pit file. See dr Ketans thread in sticky section of development for path.

thanks for getting back so soon. I have had kies up on the screen actually. It's been trying to connect for about 3 hours now lol.
I did the troubleshoot thing earlier where it reinstalled drivers. Restarted pc but same. Won't actually connect in either odin mode or recovery.I'm pretty sure it's a pc issue, at least partly anyway, but don't have anything else to try it on.
Is the signed zip idea a definite no go?

Not sure about zip,
Close Kies, open pc odin,
Gp into download mode, connect phone, confirm downloadmode with volume up and try tp flash
Let me know how that goes

No Odin pc refuses to recognise there is anything attached. I'mgiving up for the night now anyway. thank you for looking in. I'll try again in the morning. I might have to buy a new pc before I can get this thing to work.

Connect the usb to back port, sometimes helps with connection. Use stock usb cable.
please hit thanks if i helped

thanks but I've tried all the basics, but if it would help I'd stick a wire up my nose, so it's all helpful. It could be something simple I just forgot.

PC specs? Is it a Mac maybe? Reboot phone and PC and use another cable. Download latest kies and update it restart PC and then connect the phone.

Umm, did you wipe after the flash?
1. A data wipe will, in all probability, solve the bootloop after the upgrade from GB to ICS.
2. A data wipe on an ICS kernel CAN result in a hardbrick, as I'm sure you must have noticed, on the forums.
I'd say wipe it. The bricks are not all that common. Just this once. I faced a similar situation, and I KNEW the thing would boot after a wipe, so I just crossed my fingers and did it. All went well.

By they way, what do you mean by e3 recovery? I've been assuming stock.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

the PC is a 7-8 year old laptop. Our desktop died a few months ago and we've not really had the spare cash to replace it yet. The desktop was even older and was a real pain. The technical gremlins have really infested my house.
I don't really want to wipe the data, as I could just send off to samsung repair as a last resort. I really want my pictures and data back. Got some of my 2 and half month old daughter on there that I haven't got backed up anywhere else. (yes I'm looking dumber with every post). My next thing to try I guess is see if I can borrow my sister in laws PC for a few hours or something. That is if if cannot find a rom that the recovery will accept to put on my sd.
yes -the e3 recovery s the stock one.

Feel for ya.... if you can enter stock recovery then the connection problem most likely lies either with the cable and port or drivers being out of date
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

almost positive it's my knackered computer that won't let me do anything. Still can't believe that a rom doesn't exist with samsung signing, somewhere in the world. What is the point of having a standard recovery at all if you can't use it to recover stuff?
I need to be borrow or steal the use of someones computer now I think. I'll keep an eye on this thread incase someone knows of a signed zip file, and I will report of any news incase someone else has the same problems and wants to fix it without sending to Samsung so they can keep their data.

I understand the reluctance.
Although, the pictures would survive the wipe, as they would be in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. A wipe wouldn't affect anything in /sdcard, although, you'd lose your contacts if they aren't backed up. Your best bet would be to borrow someone's computer for a while.

thanks for all the advice.
Finally found a zip that the e3 recovery thinks is signed.
It was the 2.3.6 gingerbread, uk cpw one.
It seems to pass the signing check and then it looks like it's doing domething for a few minutes, then nothing seems to happen afterwards. just stays in recovery. If I do it a few times in a row it will sometimes think for longer, then reboot itself like it has all worked, but then get stuck at the samsung logo again.
Can I ask, what exactly is getting wiped then? Just the main android folders and not the sdcard folder? Is that for definite?

Yes. Just the android partition should get wiped, internal SD should remain intact.
Try taking out the battery for five minutes or so before powering on again. Sometimes after flashing the rom needs a breather to "settle".
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!

Just an update on my situation. I finally managed to get use of another computer and got it to work properly, so managed to flash the stock ICS rom through odin.
Thanks a lot Samsung for forcing me to put the yellow triangle on my device. At least there are people willing to help with fixing mobile phones' software, even if the manufacturers themselves don't care about you losing all your data. I managed to get everything back. Nothing was lost. If only they allowed you to flash the stock rom from their stock recovery. It's ridiculous that it doesn't.
Anyway there is the triangle away app for that I suppose and now I might try some new roms out to see which I prefer.

Yeah you would have to make a flashable zip. Not sure how to do that.
Good you are back

[Q] Android 4.0.4 Root?

Hey all!
I have updated my LG p990 to android 4.0.4 using LG´s own software (Stock ROM), and I wonder if there is any way to root that as of yet? superoneclick dont work it seems anymore / yet, and I wonder if the tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
perhaps work to root with option 8 but I cant tell myself just by reading and I´m not allowed to ask there directly myself since I lack postcount.
any help will be greatly appriciated!
your sincerely Natherul

Use option 3 for root your phone.

thanks for reply, tried it but sadly it did not root me -.-
EDIT:
seems it changed the power button though..... now holding it in wont give me option to turn off and pressing it once wont turn off screen, help please
EDIT2:
nvm my edit, pressed home and power together once to make a screenshot then it works with power as normal again..... phone just thought i was holding down home....

Hey there.
How about try option 2. then change recovery to nvflash?
Then once you have a new custom recovery. Look for a stock ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076882
its rooted so that might fix it..
not sure if this is gonna work for you though. might wait for someone more experienced to confirm this.

thanks for trying to help puffingman but i got it working I had to use nvflash method and what went wrong before was the installation of su app (superuser), after downloading a new copy and doing it again its rooted

Be careful with Font Installer/ROM Toolbox

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you a quick heads up; be careful when using "Font Installer" or ROM Toolbox (the Font Installer within it is the same tool by the same person).
I installed some fonts that were different from the Samsung ones, and used it for a while. The font didn't apply to all text, which kind of annoyed me but I lived with it. Today I tried to switch back to a Samsung default, but it didn't override the one I had selected. So I simply deleted those fonts I installed in Root Explorer (ONLY the 3 I installed) and rebooted thinking it would revert back to a default font.
I am now stuck on the boot animation. Oh well, I'll reflash but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. (The only things I should lose are a few pictures)

Before I force myself to be stuck on MF1, I am trying to repair what I did. Does anyone know if I can use ADB to push the files back to system/fonts?
I'm have the phone in stock recovery, and I have ADB up, but I get "device unauthorized" unless I select "send update from ADB" to which it wants me to sideload. I can sideload stuff, but that doesn't seem work for me wanting to push a few TTF files. Any ideas?

This doesn't help you now. But next time use ifont. I did the same as you did my friend.

I wish I had seen this thread before I tried to use Font Installer to install a new font. I now have "Unfortunately Samsung keyboard has stopped" popping up every 5 seconds, and I can't access the keyboard to type anything else at all. I can only reboot using Recovery mode. I cleared the cache and did a full factory reset...still getting this error. The phone is rooted. I rooted following a very basic step by step procedure, so I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area, and would appreciate any help in getting access to the keyboard.
