[Q] Stuck Loading After Format - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, everyone. My first post, so I'll try not to make it terrible and try to keep it short. I've just stepped into the world of Android from using an iPhone. Currently using an SGH-i897. I rooted my phone, unlocked and went to install a custom Jelly Bean. I wiped data/factory, cache partition, dalvik cache and then did Format/system in Recovery mode. At this point I realized I made two really dumb mistakes. I hadn't installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I also didn't put my files on the Internal SD as I was supposed to, be on my external SD instead. I chose to reboot system so I could get back to my main system and fix what I'd done so I could continue properly. Welp, now I'm stuck at "system Corps" with the corn fella. The bar will finish loading, then just stays with corn alien. I can still get into Recovery if I want, but I'm not sure where to take it from here. I've read a few posts from people with different phones and it sounds like they have to flash official firmware with Odin or something?
Thank you for any help that can be offered.
*EDIT*
Finally got phone into Download mode again. I feel this is where I need to be heading, but I'm not sure what to do at this point.

If u can use the button combo to reboot into Recovery, u can go to mounts and storage and mount usb and connect to ur pc and copy ur rom over to ur phone's internal sdcard. And since u have the Corn Kernel installed...u have CWM Recovery. (Don't use Rom Manager).
If u cannot get into Recovery Mode, then get into Download mode and start over.
Take ur time, read, read, and be sure u know what ur doing. There r a lot of Stickied threads that contain a wealth of info. :good:

There are indeed, and I hate being that noob that asks anyway. It doesn't help I've been stuck home today with the flu, which together with this situation is really testing my patience. I think I just needed the support and someone hinting in some way, shape or form as you have that I'm not completely boned. I'll continue plugging away and see what comes out of it. Thank you much!

Try to install one click stock 2.1 ROM.. Google it, you vl find the Rom. Double click on one click odin after downloading, connect your phone to computer. Get your phone into download mode, click on start in odin. Tatz it. Stock Rom vl b installed

OP - Don't do this.. If you flash back to stock, flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (as you're already on GB).

[Solved] Recovery 5.0.2.6 samurai..........

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

First, try a diffrent USB cable and USB port. If all else fails, read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962887
Read it whole before clicking any link. This has default recovery, files and so on. You'll find the file at post #22.

To simplify things, you flash this using ClockWorkMod. It will replace your recovery to the default LG one, and your files (unrooted). As I have said, everything you need to know is in the OP (Original Post/er).
Since you are coming from Gingerbread (Zeus), that's all you need.

You said you're on Zeus ROM right? How did you flash it? You reboot to recovery (ClockWorkMod), make wipes, then flash the zip. Right?
Now download the file/ROM on that thread at post #22, save it to your SD Card. Reboot to recovery, wipe and flash it. It's just the same procedure when you flashed Zeus ROM.
You need not to be an expert. If you managed to flash Zeus, you can flash this too. There's no abracadabra involved.
Again:
Save the file from the thread
Save it on your SD card
Reboot to recovery either by long pressing power button (Zeus has reboot to recovery added), or go to market and download Quick Boot.
If you are in recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, so as to remove SuperUser files, and have a clean one.
Flash the zip you saved
Done? Reboot!

[Q] About Root Problems

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !
How did you flash it? Zip from stock recovery?

Well i downloaded the file "N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_N7000WELSA_HOME.tar" from Hotfile. And put it in PDA in Odin3 v1.85 and flashed it. I'm writing down every detail because i may have done something wrong.
Then i downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar" and flashed it the same way.

I used the above tutorials to do so.
If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.
I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.
Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?
now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.
??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?
No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.
yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data
Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?
Yah. Connect to pc and delete.
Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?
yes

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.
correct , you're right!

Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.
as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?
yes
Yes,

Read the rom thread, fixes there

[Q] Help with bricked phone!

My S Advance is hard bricked and I am unable to bring it back to life, though it does go to recovery mode and download mode I've flashed plenty of firmwares from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 and none of them work. Anyway I'm past that because I've bought a new phone now, what I need to ask is this: Can I somehow recover the data from my internal SDcard, and how should i go about doing so?
I want to add one more thing...
I know the problem of the phone not booting is hardware related, but i believe that the internal memory is intact. I believe so because when i go to recovery mode I am able to mount and unmout sdcard0, also using the "Install zip" option I'm able to view the folders inside sdcard0.

I know the problem of the phone not booting is hardware related, but i believe that the internal memory is intact. I believe so because when i go to recovery mode I am able to mount and unmout sdcard0, also using the "Install zip" option I'm able to view the folders inside sdcard0.

See if you can get adb shell, and pull data with it.

With CoCore you should be able do get it before boot. I think someone had similar question, and I left Odin flashable CoCore in that thread.
P.S. Find CoCore Odin flashable tar in the attachment.

My S Advance is hard bricked and I am unable to bring it back to life, though it does go to recovery mode and download mode I've flashed plenty of firmwares from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 and none of them work. Anyway I'm past that because I've bought a new phone now, what I need to ask is this: Can I somehow recover the data from my internal SDcard, and how should i go about doing so?

If you are able to enter the custom recovery,as you said,you could do an nandroid backup and it will be automaticly safe to your sd-card.
After that you can open it up in your new or other smartphone with nandroid manager and you can pull out all your files and savegames etc. .
