Hey guys,
I would like to ask for a bit of help. So...I tried porting ICS to my SGS2 via odin, using the steps provided in a step by step video.
Everything went smooth until the reboot phase. The phone started rebooting, with the yellow triangle and other such but the samsung animation and the OS was not booted. After the screen with the yellow triangle the screen goes black, Do you know what could I do? Please help!
I checked again the video after wich I tried rooting my phone and I skipped after the part where it was mentioned that my device must have ICS in order to accomplish rooting. I was using Gingerbread...is there anything I could do to bring my phone back to life?
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one

I rooted my phone not too long ago and today during a quick reset to update some modifications I made on Gravitybox, it has gotten stuck in a sort of boot loop. I've tried wiping the cache in modified recovery, booting in safe and download mode, and even resetting factory defaults. But every time I have tried those things, after the LG and android logo screen appear and the Verizon logo screen appears like during a normal boot, it appears the phone is stuck at that Verizon logo screen. I am thoroughly baffled as what to do, because I cannot even manage to get download mode.. I have looked thoroughly throughout the internet but cannot seem to find anyone who has had this problem, so, I decided that maybe someone here might know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

Happy browsing and thread closed.
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S5, stock and rooted. Today, I used Kies to update to the latest G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch. That worked fine with no issue, but it did clear my root. No problem. So then I used the tutorial on this site:
http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2015/02/root-g900tuvu1dob1-android-50-stock.html
to try to re-obtain root. (This was the tutorial I used previously and it worked fine.) However, this time, at the end, after Odin said "PASS" and the phone rebooted, it got stuck on the Samsung logo screen, and it will not go past it. I have gone into recovery and cleared the cache and done a factory wipe/reset, but it still gets stuck on the logo screen.
[Edit:] I am adding that after a long time of showing the Samsung logo screen (not sure how long), it does switch over to the white T-Mobile logo screen. Then that screen stays for a long time. I gave up and pulled battery to start over, but now it's doing it all over again.
[Edit 2:] I also want to add that the Samsung logo screen it is stuck on is not the colorful one, but the static black&white one, with "Powered by Android" at the bottom. In case that matters.
I can't figure out what to do next. I'm wary of following a tutorial on the web now, for fear it will be incorrect and do more damage.
What I want is to get past this, and end up with my phone on the new G900TUVS1FOJ4 patch, stock, and rooted.
Thank you,
Chris
Ok, I was able to flash stock G900TUVS1FOJ4, so my phone is no longer stuck, and I'm on the latest stock, but unrooted.
Now I am having trouble finding how to safely root it without doing the same thing again.
Any instructions out there for safely rooting this version?
