Hi, i used baywolf's AIO captivate rogers 2.6 to flash back to stock using the supplied odin. It went alright and odin said that it completed successfully. I closed odin and reinserted the battery, there i watched it boot up and the rogers splash screen was up for a very long time. It eventually just shuts off after staying at the rogers screen. Help anyone?
reboot into recovery
wipe user data and wipe cache.
check out the rogers stock rom links in my sig.
full instructions and the same files AIO uses. (he uses my files)
Hey, i was about to go out and buy some resistors to make a jig because i didn't have the 3 button recovery fix. Then i tried wiping user data and it rebooted, to my surprise it loaded into the lock screen. All's perfect now, thanks for your help.
jig only helps if your screen doesnt come on.

Thats not true at all. It helps if you are in a situation where you can't boot properly and your button combo doesn't work. His combo obviously worked because he made it to recovery...
ok... true.. was talking about him... didnt consider other readers...
But isn't the screen not coming on at all a sign of a brick and not just a "soft brick"?
I know you had those couple of weird ones but that isn't the norm, and I haven't heard anyone else report success with a jig like that...
yeah but with my trick i found, the natural tendency when putting in a battery is, see if it turns on, ie push a button, which breaks the trick, i wonder how many people could acutally get unbricked with that? or just holding the buttons long enough... lol..
Hahaha...canadians...y u so funny?

hi.. im currently using CM7 on my G1 and i tried to switch back to gingeryoshi. i've successfully install it but after i install it and reboot my phone. my phone always rebooting to recovery. what ive done wrong? i still have the RADIO-2.22.28.25 and hboot-1.33.0013d. how i can go back to yoshi ????
thanks in advance
strange, to get into recovery you must hold down the home key as you power on, this sounds as simple as a stuck home key. but thats unlikely if you have been using your phone without any issue until now (im assuming this)
what recovery do you have and what method did you take to get back to gingeryoshi

... or the phone boots to recovery due to an invalid / non existing boot image.
Edit: ... or the reboot to recovery flag is set in the misc partition and is not reset correctly.

i have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and i use the common method.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and then install the rom. at the 2nd attempt i wipe also the dalvik cache and at the 3rd attempt i use ohsaka-superwipe. but it all the same. after installing, it reboot to recovery. i don't know what the problem is. because i've already tried to install froyo by laszlo and even the AOSP 4.0.1 Alpha 2. but i get no problem going back to yoshi after trying those rom and i use the same recoverymod. and yeah i don't have any button problem at my phone. and here im using my phone again with CM7 because i can't go back to GingerYoshi. so i just install cm7 again. and i got no problem
it sounds like you are doing everything right. best guess is that you have a bad gingeryoshi update.zip - try going to the thread and downloading again gingeryoshi, then reinstall this to your phone.

Is there a stock recovery available for the D4? My ear piece speaker is out on the one i I have now.
yes there is, but im not sure what you could do in there about your ear speaker going out.. what lead up to this?
as for getting to stock recovery
turn your phone off
hold both vol+ and vol- buttons
while holding vol+/vol- hold power
menu comes up
--scroll with vol-
--select recovery with vol+
droid and ! in a triangle comes up
--push both vol+ and vol-
--you are in stock recovery now
vol+ and vol- are volume up and volume down, the buttons on the right side of your phone
Thank you. I received a new phone yesterday via my warranty so i just need to go back to stock so i can send it back clean.

Wait, im rooted so does this flash me back to stock or is this just the recovery that comes stock on the D4?
simply going into this recovery does nothing.... id imagine doing a factory reset from within this recovery will get rid of your root as well... the only thing i dont think this will un-do is if you have installed safestrap
why dont you give the stock recovery's data wipe / reset a try and let us all know what it does and doesnt un-do for future reference.

Good idea. Ill let everyone know in a few.So should i post a new thread about it then?
id say just keep it in this thread and thanks for being a pioneer!
Wiping data and cache in recovery, either stock or Safestrap, will not remove root. You need to do that manually as well as uninstall safestrap via the menus in safestrap recovery.

Did factory/data reset and it deleted everything but safestrap.
see the post above.. cell zealot is right... it doesnt remove root, just the superuser apk.. you are going to have to use the windows utility to remove boot.
as for removing safestrap... in looking through the menus i see that you can disable safestrap by
boot into safestrap
- advanced
- disable safestrap
then boot into stock recovery
wipe everything
plug into windows with USB and the utility
do the un-root function
and then you should be back to complete, ready to send to vzw, stock.

My phone doesnt show the safestrap icon on my phone and when i connect it to my pc to explore the files i dont see thru there either. I already uninstalled rom toolbox when i realized i didnt change my boot screen back so when i tried to reinstall it said that the program requires root. So im stuck on what to do??

You are a lifesaver! Thanks a bunch.
no problem... im just trying to think what i would be doing in the same situation... and i want to make sure its possible to get back to stock (since we dont have fastboot)
Do you have any idea how the development is coming for fastboot? I have safestrap but idk how to use it correctly. So ive had it disabled since i put it on my phone. I learned on my X in Sept using clockworkmod so when it came to the having system 1 and system 2 it just didnt click for me. So im just rooted and still on stock ROM. Couldnt do without TB with all the blur. Hell netfick alone used 22.3MB so that was one of the first to go. Lol
for fastboot its not development... we are waiting for a leak of the files from verizon/moto
the safestrap thing is a bit different for sure, i also came from the X.
Rooting is new to me, first root in Nov, but its amazing how much ive learned already. I fact i was so anxious to flash a new ROM on my D4 that i did so just before Hashcode had the had the D4 safestrap done and ended up with a bricked phone. Luckily i had just gotten it so i as able to return it as a defective device. Now the ear piece speaker is out. FML Lol
not to be an asshole... but maybe you aught to slow down... read more, and do less until you have a better handle on things.
Oh i dont think that. As my bf put it im click happy which is why he bought TB Pro for me. I soft bricked my X when i first rooted by deleting some system apps or i should say by deleting some apps that system apps used. Wen ended up purchasing an sbf file to get it back. This as before i was told that some system apps use other apps to function. After i bricked my D4 on the 3rd day of owning i decided that i need to just wait. Lol

im in the same boat, i call verizon and they gonna replace the phone ,but my concern is if they gonna found out about bootstrap on the phone because ican uninstalled due to i locked in boot loader,they say if they found out that it wastn a factory defect they will charge me $299 for the phone,the phone will be here tuesday, i really wanna fix the phone but with out charge i cant o well
I have a solution for the dead battery. A factory Motorola USB cable will bypass the battery and power the phone directly, but you still need a signed full webtop image for the D4 to fix your phone, unless I am not understanding what the issue is that caused your problem.
I don't want to break the rules here by promoting my own products, but we sell the factory cables just for this specific purpose and they work great on all Motorola devices and many others as well, particularly those with non removable batteries.
You can also make one yourself if you are skilled with a micro soldering iron.
There is a thread on the Razr forum of XDA describing how.
Edit: We are currently out of stock but getting more next week. They were shipped out to us yesterday.
http://shop.teamblackhat.info
To answer your question, it is possible for them to determine if you had safestrapped, but not very likely due to the fact that they would most likely flash a full XML.zip to restore the phone and that would wipe any evidence of safestrap and/or root.
I have just flashed a stock gb rom via pc odin from ics stunner and now ive got bootloop i think ive fooked up please help
Try wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery, and wipe dalvik. That works for me when I downgrade to GB too.

lol! I always end up in bootloop while in my galaxy s and galaxy s2, so im pretty calm now when I encounter bootloop. Thanks also!
Try using the search feature. Asked and answered loads of times (either via another lazy person's new thread like this one, or within ROM specific threads.) In fact if everyone searched and the info was posted in one place it would make everyone's life easier!
You have to do a wipe / factory reset after flash back to GB otherwise you'll get stuck in the boot loop. When it happened to me I didn't know how to get into stock recovery mode as I couldn't find the info via a search. Since then I've tried to reply to ALL these threads with the info. It turns out it is really easy: Vol up, home and power held together at boot up. Then select wipe / factory reset, re-boot and cross your fingers!
Good luck.
I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found any..
I flashed to kingdroid rom a while ago from stock GB with abyss kernel. Everything went fine, and later wanted to try a new rom.
So I wiped the data and factory reset in CWM and tried to restore the old stock GB. I don't know if anything went wrong in that process, but now I can't even turn on the phone? I can't boot up CWM either?

Can you enter download mode??If so flash any GB rom.If the flash is getting stuck at factoryfs or somewhere for long than 15 mins..you have superbricked your phone by doing a wipe.Only way is to replace the mobo or trying this
yeah go on download mode. Use odin pc. It will raise the counter, but its much better than a brick note.. Hehe
Download mode is volume down, home key and turn on key right?
Doesnt work.. how long is I supposed to hold it in?
And what is a MOBO?
Easy ... Don't Panic

The First Thing you did was right, since you did the wipe using the AbyssKernel kernel, witch was safe and away from the HardBrick Thing around the Stock ICS Kernel.
But what you did wrong, is that you did wipe and restore using the Kernel inside the rom you used, wich of course was in cause !!!! so Here is what you will do, just Follow the Steps in My following Post, and you are done

Glad to hear kimifender!
Sorry for not being that bright in all this.. But how can I do all the instructions when I can't turn the phone on? I can't find the sdcards on my computer either when i connect the phone to the computer
Sounds like you have a big paperweight. You need to somehow get it to a Samsung repair center to get the motherboard replaced. There's a thread in the General section that MIGHT help revive it, but no guarantees.
Always make sure you read, read, read before you flash anything. Like other people said, the restore is what bricked it.

He said he wiped after beeing on the other rom. So he wiped with an unsafe kernel.
=> Superbrick.
So there is no way I can revive my phone?
Maybe im just not turning it on the right way?

If you're pushing the power button, you are turning it on. If you are holding down volume up/down + power + home button you are trying to put it in download/recovery.
Sorry, but it sounds like it is a paperweight/brick.

Check battery. make sure it still has power. Pull out and leave out 5 minutes and replace it back as well.
Then turn it on and try to enter download mode (Home volume-down and power) and connect it to PC odin (even in case the screen does not turn on) and see the yellow box is there. If there is, you can flash kernel that has CWM as well, and there is hope to revive it.
If you cannot get odin to see it, then SS service is the only way.

Well Of course, If your phone is not ON, it won't show any usb storage on the PC.
Don't Give up Yet !!!
Are you sure your phone has enough battery charge,
Not Sure? well Do this :
- Keep your phone under AC Battery Charger (no USB charging) for at least 45 min.
- Take Off the Battery for at least 10s seconde,
put it back, Then try to to enter to download mode directly : Vol down + Power + Home Button at the same time untill you see the Yellow Dowload Logo, Don't Try to turn your phone on by Pressing the power Button as Normally, It Simply won't turn on !!
Keep taking the Battery Off and Back untill it works, believe me this happened before.
How much would it cost to get it fixed?
How much would a new motherboard cost?

Try what I told you in Post N°12,
If you get the chance to get into the download mode : then Follow My Post N°5.
You Have to Make sure your phone is really Dead, or just need a push to wake up again.
I swear this happened to me before, and believe me I'm no noob.
Just Try First. If it doesn't work, then Buy another one ;;;;
how i fixed it
Iám new as a member here but not new on reading here on this forum.
Want to post fast how i brickt my phone with ics and kernel problems and wipe going wrong.
Cwm still working but nothing is going anymore.
In cwm flash a franco kernel (i used Franco kernel 10 because had it on my sd card) then reboot into recovery and flash the Abys kernel.
Reboot into recovery and install your rom or restore an backup you made.
I hope sthis works for all.
