Re.
Great post, I'm having the exact same problem. When I turn my phone on I get Samsung for 30 minutes non-stop. If i plug into wall or computer the charging batter shows up with no juice and the wheel to check battery life but this time its not moving. I tried to reflash my kernel but it didn't boot. Instead I got the connect to computer logo im not sure what to do. Please help. Also I was in the process of restarting for the new update but it just got stuck on Samsung and here we are

I used this method below to force the device into downloading mode

then i flashed the odin package below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116867
then it works now

I also had lagfix enabled when something happened and I was stuck on the Samsung logo. I looked for a ROM that has the Voodoo lagfix properties (Altered Beast) and flashed that. On first boot it went into recovery, so I disabled the lagfix. Then when it booted I flashed the rooted ED1 so I could flash the EE4 OTA (for the radio).
Note: During the EE4 upgrade, it will look like it hangs at the middle point. Just wait it
out and it'll finish on its own.
I used Odin (in a VM) for the downgrade since I was unsuccessful with Heimdall (I only have Macs).

So yeah, I flashed the rooted ED1 and Voodoo within 9 hours after getting the phone. Everything was going fine until I got the EE4 update notice this morning. Without thinking (I had just woke up) I tried to install it. It rebooted and was stuck in Samsung several tries for as long as I would wait it out. I finally ran Odin again and reflashed the rooted ED1 image and Voodoo again.
My only issue now is that I cant get anything from the Market to download. It says Starting Download then immediately disappears from the notification bar and wont install/update anything. Same results downloading straight from the Android Market website. So Im just trying to figure out this now. Installing new market versions hasnt solved the problem, and neither has the clearing of cache and any other trick.

i had the same issue, cache did not mount in none voodoo system, voodoo never converted it back. flash with this odin package in the form it corrected my issue

weird....
well as weird as it sounds i was still able to get into download mode even though it was stuck on the samsung logo....what i did was flash the yellow cwm because i hadnt flashed it, after it installed i was able to get into recovery...i tried to disable the lagfix via cwm and nothing happened it just booted like normal only difference was the the low battery sound went off continuously for like 3-5 mins as it booted up..and the battery was like at 75%.... then i walked away from the phone for maybe 5 mins cause i had a customer walk in and when i returned it had rebooted itself into the triangle with the android in it...did a battery pull and rebooted like normal then randomly like 20 mins later did the same thing...reflashed jts kernel to see if that would fix it and it was a no go....still same issue...i know its a lot of stuff to take in, my main concern however would be how to force disable voodoo so that i can just try and start from scratch..any takers?? and thanks for the replies earlier guys I was beginning to think it was only me with these issues..I appreciate all the help and feedback
EDIT* just though about it..could I just take out the memory card and load it into my computer and do the whole disable-lagfix thing in the voodoo folder to achieve my goal??? then just start from scratch?

Splash Screen on loop

I rooted my phone (at a friend's house, I'm all Apple unfortunately) and all was well and good until I purchased Rom Manager and tried to download MIUI. Since then it goes through the MIUI United Worldwide splash screen infinitely. I went the rom manager route instead of manually installing in the hopes that i wouldn't fail. But here we are.

Pull the battery and hold power and volume down and boot into recovery from there and manually wipe everything and reinstall the ROM

Thank you for the speedy reply! as far as wiping everything, im in clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.6. , should i wipe everything through this? I'm coming from the jailbroken iphone world so I am a tad new at this. Mostly just following steps right now.

all has been solved, thanks again. (if anyone is curious, wiping cache and data fixed it.)

System Partition Read Only.

Earlier tonight I was on Valhalla Final Lightning Zapped. After using titanium backup to integrate some system app updates to rom and adjusting my SD Read Ahead to 4096 I then restarted my phone just to see if any system changed needed to take place because of a needed reboot. But once I rebooted everything kept on crashing and I was instantly bogged with app FC and something about Android Log provider crashed please retry again. Every time I tried to restart the log provider it kept on crashing preventing me from doing anything. So I said let me go back to my lock screen and long press power button to reboot into recovery using advance power menu. So my phone then rebooted into recovery so I tried formatting data, cache and dalvik and reflash my back up of Valhalla Final but when I went to do so I kept on receiving a error saying fail to unmount system partition. So I went to advance settings in recover and clicked on show log then after looking at the log it said system read only so I said dammit man .-. Since the partition was no read only I couldn't flash any rooms at all. Even if I did it would just restore the boot image and restart Valhalla final which kept on crashing because of the stupid android log provider. At the time I was away from my computer so I just decided to try flashing a ics. Risky but bleh at this point my options are slim, I flashed cm9 but phone restarted and showed Android logo with some crazy crash image. So I said to myself I wonder if I could access CM9 Recovery. So I took of my battery cover and pull the battery out and reinsert it. 3 button combo my way into cm9 recovery and install a fresh copy of cm9. I figured though the system partition was read only and at the time a BML state if I try to convert it to MTD it should everything should go back to normal. So on I had went with proceeding to flash cm9. Phone booted perfectly luckily I had a nand backup of cm9 before I had downgraded back to GB. I then went back to recovery to wipe everything and restore from backup phone is run completely back to normal now. Does anyone have any insight on this strange fiasco?

Maybe it all started w/ a bad Valhalla Final or Lightning Zap download, check the md5, also if u r trying to flash ics I would recommend using a one-click first (It just seems like it always works better for me when I do that)... and I assume u know about the kernel version b4 flashing ics, right?

Yeah. Seems like I do have to do a one click. Everytime I go to make a call on pics it just ring once and then automatically hangs up

[Q] Stuck on Team Kang logo? Phone won't boot..

Hey! About two weeks ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G and installed "Valhalla Final" Gingerbread 2.3.6. Everything has been great until today :crying:... I was talking on the phone and the battery went dead, I got home and charged it then tried to turn it back on. When I did it started to boot up and then got stuck on the "Team Kang" unicorn animation. I'm a noob and not sure what to do? I have tried removing the battery, etc. and still same result. HELP!! What should I do?? Thanks in advance...

Try doing a factory reset in recovery.
To get to recovery:
pull out your phone's battery
put the battery back in
hold BOTH volume keys and do NOT let go of them
Press the power button long enough for the phone to turn on
Once you are in recovery you can let go of the volume keys

What I ended up doing was going to recovery mode, wiping the cache and then flashed the same rom again.. Question is what would have made it do this to begin with? Is there a problem with this rom that im not aware of? After I did the above it now works fine other than having to go through and redo apps, etc..

There is no problem with the rom, if you wipe cache before upgrading. I usually wipe dalvik as well. Wipe factory if you are coming from a different rom.
I do the previous three for each rom I use, on any phone I own. I don't always trust that the developer wrote in the updater-script to attempt to wipe cache & dalvik when flashing.
