[Q] Galaxy S Wony Boot!

After downloading an app from the market (cant remember the name of it)..
It rebooted itself and now the phone wont reboot.
It comes up with the Galaxy S I9000 logo and everything but go into my main screen
It continues to vibrate and the screen stays all black.
The lights on the 'back' on the left and the 'menu' panel on the left has its lights on but it just vibrates as if its force closing and wont boot...
Tried system reboot by holding down the keys and tries reboot but wont reboot...
Any ideas????
My phone has been rooted so im guessing that the warranty on the phone wont apply??
Other people from other forums advised that it would be a good idea for me to install a different ROM but Im not too good with these things so I dont know what it means, also having trouble understanding how it can be done when I cant access th main screen of my phone?
Please help

Since your phkne was rooted check if it can go into download mode or not.
Switch off your phone. Press the volume down key the home key and the power button n switch on the phone a screen may then appear with a yellow symbol sayn downloading. Check if that hapens and take it frkm there.

Hmm you first need to open odin on ur pc and then get your phone in download mode and then connect it via usb.
Well there are many other threads in the android development department search there and you may find it.

Darkyys recovery rom is a good place if all else fails, It has got me out of a few holes when even the standard roms failed to work
you'll need odin (i recommend version 1.7) but if I remember correctly it's included in the download with darkyys rom

[HELP] Briked phone

Hi Guys!
Yesterday I change the Sim Card on my phone. I power off it normaly and change the SIM. When I try to boot the phone again this didn't boot.
My case is the same as in this video, but I did not try to flash the device before (In the explanation of the video, the user says that he tried to flash a custom rom, In my case it was the original rom)
I had to attach a txt with link to Youtube (sorry)
I try to Flash with Odin. Apparently Odin flash the device correctly (with de original firm). But the result is the same, don't boot.
Anyone else did the same?

Is the display turning on?
If yes, where does it hang?
If no, it's a hardbrick and your ace is dead.

Yes, the display turn on (same as you watch in the end on the vídeo); the device turn on the screen and then turn off (< 1 sec) and don't shown nothing (No Samung Logo or Galaxy ACE...) . But the phone boot in "downloading ..." mode and "RAMDUMP" mode.
Thanks for your reply :good:

Do you reach revovery? Home+power button. If yes, do a factory reset, and reboot. It should work.
If this doesen't help try flashing this firmware with odin XWKB7. It's 2.2.1 Froyo (4 files and multi-CSC, how to: http://droidangel.blogspot.hu/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html), and after that flash a 2.3.6 firmware.

I'm working right now, so I can not open a lot of sites. Use google, search for XWKB7. I guess, you will find a working link.

Yeah, maybe that's the right way. Bring it to the service, but do not tell them anything about odin and firmwares, even about sim card. Just tell them that you used the phone it suddenly stop responding than turn itself off, and since than you cannot turn it on... Or something like that.

Thanks guys!
This afternoon I will send the phone to Samsung to give me budget...
Thanks for your replies!

[Q] Galaxy Pop/Mini half hard bricked (can go into a strange mode) Experts Neede

Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:

The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

I know, but the problem is, I cannot go into Download Mode or Recovery Mode. The battery is charged, but even after pressing the Power button or any of its combinations, the phone just doesn't turn on! No response what-so-ever.
Any suggestions?

Then no idea. I thought maybe you don't know where was the mistake so that's why I wrote it.

I read somewhere that they will change your motherboard for free if in warranty, but how much would it cost? I was thinking of telling them that Kies did this

As I asked someone else too, how much do you think it would cost if I don't have the warranty papers right now? It still is in warranty though..
And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?

I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

[SOLVED] Help - Brick after trxing to restore factory settings

Hi guys,
sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, but I spend the last few days with reading thorugh alot of posts and information but I haven't found a solution for my problem. So this is the situation:
I have a S5830 here which was rooted by me for my girldfriend. I left the stock rom on it, there was really just a plain root, nothing more. So about a week ago my girlfriend decided that she wanted a new phone and tried to get rid of the root by using the reset to factory settings button. Well, since then the phone is somewhat bricked.
I can enter download mode by pressing Home-Button and Power Button aswell as emergency download mode by pressing volume-up+down, home button and power. When I try to get to the Recovery Menu (the stock one) I get a funny picture with a cellphone a warning sign and a computer (what the hell is this supposed to tell me?).
Confronted with this situation I thought I might just be able to push the stock firmware back on to get rid of that problem but ODIN won't let me. It recognizes the phone (yellow button appears) but when I try to flash it, it stops at "Setup Connection" and won't go any further. I tried all the suggested solutions (different computer, different usb port, killing kies in task manager etc.) Nothing works.
I'm in urgent need of a helping hand here Or just somebody who tells me "Well you're f*****".
Thanks in advance

First : Please don't use Vulgar words since it's a XDA rule ..that's why it go censored
Second : What exactly happens when you normally turn on your device ?
Third : Are you using the right version of ODIN ...Use v4.38
Forth : Keep distracting your girlfriend so that she forgets about the phone ..you know like take her on a DATE
Fifth : Hit the THANKS button if somehow helped

Re: [Q] Help - Brick after trxing to restore factory settings
Hi dasABCD!
You can go to recovery by pressing Home+ Power buttons. If you have CWM and a previous Nandroid backup you can restore from here, or install any other ROM easily.
That's not what you wanted but it's easy to do.
Good luck.

find cf root, or use semaphore kernel
bootloop becoz wrong kernel flashed, knowing ur build number is important to determine which cf root u needed

Try this:
This feature is great for people who
a) Have a bad KIES flash
b) Stuff up their phone somehow
c) Accidentally flash something dodgy via ODIN
d) Some other random occurence
To test this feature you just need to start with your phone turned off... Best way to be sure is to remove the battery.
Then
1. Put battery back in
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home Key
3. Continue holding those buttons and then press and hold power button.
4. When you see the logo pop up release power button ONLY
5. Keep holding two buttons from step 2 until you enter recovery mode.
I hope this helps!

Nope not one button combo works i tried it all.

DUDE!!!! I have the samsung galaxy s4 att sgh-i337. I recently just tried flashing uxylon from the goo manager . I did standard procedure of factory reset twice, then cache and dalvik cache wipe two times. Just so happens as Im waiting for uXylon or whatever its spelled to flash , my phone decides to stay at the boot screen.... At this point im sweating. After a few minutes i take the battery out and restart regularly . I restart and wait 10 minutes thinking it still may flash uxylon. NOPE. :,( Now im getting really scared. I try to the custom recovery mode.... no twrp OR SYSTEM RECOVERY .... Now Im Falling over scared. I take out battery try again. power , home , volume up , repeatedly . It wont even say booting recovery it only says recovery options then black screen untill I release the buttons. . Then bootloop to logo no recovery. Now Im frantic. I look up adam outler's page on ODIN recovery with stock firmware and ddownload ucuadml and ucuamdb not knwoing which , if either of them , would flash through ODIN. So im frantically flying through the web for 3 hours searching some magic button combo or something that may help me just reach my recoveries in twrp (since the computer would not recognize even in download mode) . I look everywhere. EVERYWHERE. This point i figure i can try odin and its my last chance. Im waiting on the firware to download right now to this second as I type . Somehow God magically guided me to this page though ... because I did about 300 google searches looking for a way to get my twrp back and use my nandroids. NOTHING until now..... I run across this post and move down and come across your post. "have you tried this button combo ? " I read the next comment . "NO no combos worked." Clciked forward a few pages and found nothing. Im giving up ... its over... Either ODIN will work and flash my stock firmware or I will have no way to turn my paper weight back into a cell phone. As Im click the back button i come across THIS post YOUR actual comment. I read it and think ... I didnt try that. I tried it the way you posted. Home + volume up ... nothing happens .... I add the power button and it boots same way as before booloop. Im infuriated..... I press it again the way you posted and suddenly ..... TWRP's beautiful blue screen pops up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rostroe my cleanROM 1.0 nand and Im back up . I seriously just want to thank you for posting this little comment that you probably thought would never really help anyone at all. This truly TRULY just saved my phone . I mean you just saved my day , brother. Seriously thank you . Im so happy right now it's like I bought a brand new s4 lol. Thank you so much buddy. Real talk. :highfive:

After a few minutes i take the battery out and restart regularly . I restart and wait 10 minutes thinking it still may flash uxylon. NOPE. :,( Now im getting really scared. I try to the custom recovery mode.... no twrp OR SYSTEM RECOVERY .... Now Im Falling over scared. I take out battery try again. power , home , volume up , repeatedly . It wont even say booting recovery it only says recovery options then black screen untill I release the buttons. . Then bootloop to logo no recovery. Now Im frantic. I look up adam outler's page on ODIN recovery with stock firmware and ddownload ucuadml and ucuamdb not knwoing which , if either of them , would flash through ODIN. So im frantically flying through the web for 3 hours searching some magic button combo or something that may help me just reach my recoveries in twrp (since the computer would not recognize even in download mode) . I look everywhere. EVERYWHERE. This point i figure i can try odin and its my last chance. Im waiting on the firware to download right now to this second as I type . Somehow God magically guided me to this page though ... because I did about 300 google searches looking for a way to get my twrp back and use my nandroids. NOTHING until now..... I run across this post and move down and come across your post. "have you tried this button combo ? " I read the next comment . "NO no combos worked." Clciked forward a few pages and found nothing. Im giving up ... its over... Either ODIN will work and flash my stock firmware or I will have no way to turn my paper weight back into a cell phone. As Im click the back button i come across THIS post YOUR actual comment. I read it and think ... I didnt try that. I tried it the way you posted. Home + volume up ... nothing happens .... I add the power button and it boots same way as before booloop. Im infuriated..... I press it again the way you posted and suddenly ..... TWRP's beautiful blue screen pops up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rostroe my cleanROM 1.0 nand and Im back up . I seriously just want to thank you for posting this little comment that you probably thought would never really help anyone at all. This truly TRULY just saved my phone . I mean you just saved my day , brother. Seriously thank you . Im so happy right now it's like I bought a brand new s4 lol. Thank you so much buddy. Real talk. :highfive:

Thats what its all about bro. Advancing that community . More commmunity helped out the more testing of these great works of the awesome developers. I know some on the forums would say thats wrong but you showed me what it all about. Good luck , man. Thanks for the help.

find cf root, or use semaphore kernel
bootloop becoz wrong kernel flashed, knowing ur build number is important to determine which cf root u needed
if u find da suitable kernel, bootloop will fix by flashing thru odin, but ur sayin u dont even know da version here, so it become more difficult.
here list of cf root

but as i said before da difficulty now is u dont even know ur build number n version but ur sayin u wanna backup ur app data but ur fone bootloop now.
