So I rooted my phone a few months ago but there weren't many mods out yet, so I waited until just today. I saw this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593
I followed everything until I got to the part where I had to go into recovery mode, but before I was supposed to reinstall packages to get into CWM I accidently clicked on delete all user data and delete cache date because I misunderstood. So I got into CWM after and followed it and rebooted but nothing happened and the SGS4G screen just goes on and off. I didnt know what to do so I gave this a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
I thought it would bring my phone back to stock and rooted because I couldnt recover or restore anything. It just put me in a more confused situation. When I reboot in recovery or just turn the power button on, the SGS4G screen goes on and off still.
So all I can do is this. Go to recovery. reboot,reinstall,delete user data or cache data. It says "signature verification failed" then "installation aborted" when I reinstall packages. And like I said, when I reboot the system all it does is the SGS4G screen problem.
Is there a way to start me fresh to a stock and rooted point? I dont think I have any files or anything on my phone anymore(if that is possible). I wanted to try this over again, but correctly obviously
Thanks for any help. I really need my phone soon
Were you in download mode when you used Odin? It should have worked. Make sure that it shows a yellow symbol with the android alien holding a shovel.

Thanks for the reply! And yeah i was in download mode. Odin said it went through and it lead my phone into recovery phone. After that I rebooted but I'm still experiencing the SGS4G screen going on and off still. Nothing else loads.
How did you set up Odin? You got the correct file loaded into the PDA box?

signature verificaton failed means u dont have a modified recovery record
u can get that out of the cwm final thread and push it to system/bin folder overwrite the one dont replace it that will solve that issue for u
I did exactly what the thread for Odin said. I already had the 64bit drivers installed. I downloaded the link that was provided for the ROM and then Odin. The rom took a while to download but it finally did. After that I held both volume buttons and then plugged in the usb and then it went into download mode. After that I opened odin and then clicked on PDA. The only thing that I could click on was the non-extracted rom that I downloaded aforementioned above.Gave it time to download and it said successful. Then I rebooted once it sent me to recovery mode. It also states to try and do it without sim and sd card in the phone which i just tried. It went through as well, but still has the SGS4G going on and off

I would try that but idk how i would be able to push it into the system/bin folder when all my phone is letting me do is go into recovery mode
Did u flash ext4 yet?
A suggestion for you.
If you can get into Down load mode which it sounds like you can, I would use ODIN to flash KC1 with its pit, PDA, Phone and CSC files and let it fully load up. Then ODIN Whitehawk's deoxed KD1 + root and try to flash your other ROM again.
It is very hard to hard brick these phones. Always take care to make sure the mount points in recovery are set to unmount, mount, mount and finally unmount when instructed to do so.
If your getting stuck with the ext4 section which causes this boot loop alot, what I have done is to disable voodoo lagfix, reboot into the newly flashed ROM then go back into recovery and enable voodoo. Has always worked for me.
This is my first post so I apologize if I don't make any sense lol. I develop android apps for a medical software company and I'm wanting to start creating ROMs to help out this great community.
I forgot to mention: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554 - [REF]{BIBLE} Galaxy S 4G (7/24/11) <5:00pm cst> is your best friend
icbinb is a great rom. you will definitely have to odin, as bytesfree says. you should use kc1 by raver. after you odin kc1, boot up normally and let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. then get a root manager, such as super manager or root explorer. download the 2 files from krylons final cwm thread. move both to the proper location using the root manager. make sure the recovery file is named properly. if it has the extra .bin extension in the filename, remove it. then shut down the phone, reboot into recovery, go to reinstall packages and the orange cwm will load. once that loads up, factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and check the mounts (u,m,m,u), go to install from sd card, flash the ext4 converter immediately followed by icbinb. all of these zip files should be on the root of your sd. let me know how it goes.
if you get it to flash, remember to leave the phone sitting for 10-15 minutes in order for it to settle in.
also, bytefree, welcome to xda. glad to have you contributing.
As Jager said, ICBINB and others such as Black Ice are great ROMS with lots of tweaks and features. The guys that create these ROMs are awesome in their intellect and programming abilities. Mrchovee, once you get the hang of the steps required to flash a ROM it becomes second nature, just keep at it and don't let a gimped flash bring ya down man. As I said before, these little phones are hard to brick.
Hi,
In an attempt to remove the emergency dial button from the lock screen, I got into boot loop. I had edited some xml file in the framework-res.apk, put it on the phone, but then every time I booted it up, I couldn't do anything, it would reboot and reboot... I have a backup of the original framework-res.apk, so I did factory reset in recovery mode, managed to get my phone working long enough to put the original framework-res.apk in the correct folder, but as soon as I tried to set the right permissions, it rebooted and now, logically, it reboots but it doesn't even get to the PIN lock screen...
I have had this phone 3 days now and I have no money for a new one, is there any way I can restore the original file with the correct permissions without being able to boot into the phone, the only thing I have is recovery mode with the options "apply update from sdcard", "wipe data / factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "test redbend"
Please, I am really desperate here. Searching the internet for hours for a solution, but in most cases I just lack the knowledge to do it. Also, if it's possible, I'd like to maintain my warranty.
Please help me, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
rob

Flash a stock rom or custom rom for your phone. ALWAYS backup before you do any Modding or flashing...hope this helps

Yeah, I've done that now, but I can't find a stock rom of my region and I'm stuck with a qwerty layout, so now I think I'm going to restore a backup of my friend's phone (he has exactly the same phone). Hope I get everything back to normal then.
Greets,

Is there anything I should look out for before I restore my friend's backup to my phone? I'm kind of paranoid I'm going to screw it all up again...
Edit:
What I was planning on doing:
Root my friend's phone
Install ROM manager
Install Clockworkmod recovery
Create backup on SD card
Put SD card in my phone
Go into CWM recovery
Restore
Choose his backup
Restore
Boot up the phone, make sure everything is alright
Go into recovery mode
Factory reset / user data delete
Does this seem right or should I check some things first?
I thought I read that you have to have the same kernel version or something?
Since I'm running a stock ROM atm, I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about.
Edit 2: I have already found out that we have different kernels, he has 2.6.35.7-perf-cl561624 and I have 2.6.35.7-perf-CL465576
ok first make a backup of your rom (i no your rom is messed up but do it anyways) flash your freinds backup, make sure you wipe data/system first. The reason I say backup yourrom first becasue you say your freind has a diffrent kernel, so if it dosent work you have a backup so you can restore where you started, understand?
Will do,
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me, I will post the results tomorrow.
ok let me how it came along
It worked
I created a backup on his phone, put the sd card in my phone, restored the backup, booted up the phone, everything worked great, rebooted in recovery mode and wiped user data en resetted factory settings, phone is up and running now with the original firmware. So glad it worked
Thanks again!

Edit: I don't know what the prob was originally but I just flashed a different recovery today and it worked. I have no clue what the problem was. I might have been doing something wrong and not even knowing it. Thanks for all the help!
I was trying to root/flash a rom since I haven't touched the tf101 in a long time. I rooted perfectly using 1-Click Transformer Root. At the time I also installed CWM Recovery using 1-Click. Everything was fine. I wanted to use KatKiss ROM and saw that TWRP was one of the better custom recoveries. So I started the process of getting TWRP by using "Frederuco's Guide to Root and ROM the TF101." This is where problem started (and hasn't changed since). I followed the directions carefully- the tf101 can be in APX like its suppose to when using EasyFlasher. I used EasyFlasher to get TWRP recovery. But on the first reboot I got my old recovery from 1-Click. So I just rebooted again. This time I got something completely different. I had two options: "Wipe Data" or "Andriod." Selecting Wipe Data wouldn't do anything other than prompt two messages and would continue as long as I clicked Volume Up on the "Wipe Data" icon. Selecting "Andriod" would "cold-boot linux" as it said on the screen.
Ever since I have retried using EasyFlasher. Since this wasn't working I tried to go back using 1-Click. But I was unsuccessful. Since then I have also tried OneClickRecovery V0.4.2 with no avail. I have tried each of the methods at least five times each yet I still get the same options which basically boot the tablet again.
I have tried using the unbrick feature on OneClickRecovery. It didn't work but I did find something interesting. It said: "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3: cannot open for write: Permission denied." Which meant su wasn't being granted. I did some research on this and I should have been getting asked to grant permission. But I wasn't (I have tried this before and after re-rooting). So I changed SU settings to always grant (confirmed I had root by using numerous different apps that needed root). Which didn't help since I was getting the same error.
I also tried GooManager and trying to install the OpenRecoveryScript. But it didn't work either (it was granted superuser rights).
I also tried flashing Asus Recovery using 1-Click.
Any suggestions? I'm completely lost at this point. I've spend two days and over 7 hours on this reading everything and anything I can find.
I probably forgot to do something but at this point I can't figure it out. If anyone has anything to say let me know! Thanks!
Edit: The OS part works perfectly fine. Its just the recovery.
Are you running the stock ROM at the minute ?
Someone else had a similar issue the other day, and it seemed clearing Cache and Data from Settings > Apps > All > DMClient, then rebooting fixed it and was able to flash TWRP after that
Worth a shot, it sounds like you have the stock recovery installed atm
Your method did not work. I tried it multiple times, each with a different recovery flashing program. Any other suggestions?
I've been searching for 3 days now, and everything I've found has not worked. I am using twrp, and have tried flashing three different roms. Everything in fastboot and twrp runs fine, but as soon as I get to the asus boot screen (I've seen it to be called the circle/ring of death) it freezes, then reboots. I've tried re flashing back to stock rom, upgrading firmware/ downgrading firmware, different twrp versions, stock recovery, hitting my head on the tablet. I don't know what else to do.
My tablet was version 4.2.1 I used the boot unlocker v_8. Tablet was rooted and working for one day, then over night this began.
If someone could please point me in the right direction, or is this just a case of my tablet being done for?

Do you have valuable data on the tab? If yes, I'd suggest you copy them off your internal storage to your external Sd card with TWRP, then erase everything per buster99's script (search for the name); flash stock rom via fastboot. You don't need to reset the tab by poking the hole since you apparently can get to fastboot without issue.
DO NOT touch the wipe data icon on the boot screen! Do everything with TWRP only. If you choose to do it via SD card, remove the card before rebooting to see what happens. It has occurred to me that leaving the card inside might cause problems. Good luck.

I copied anything I wanted saved, but I did not do a legitimate backup of software files.
I have pressed the wipe data icon on the boot screen under the confusment of the many different posts. What step does that leave me at?
EDIT:
So crazy Buster99 fastboot flash did it. Sucks because I tried that before but I guess I may have missed one line of the reflashing script. Well thanks, after three days I've finally been put in the right direction.
Seems like that pesky /misc partition is causing problems. Glad you got it sorted out though.

Hey Everyone. First of all I would like to say that I've had this device for about a year and a half, but it bricked? on me in only 4 months. I've tried countless methods to fix it but no go. Then as time went on I completely forgot about it. Now I don't have my sd card that I used for it any more.
The problem? One day I accidentally forgot to charge my tablet and it died on me, so I charged it right back up and turned it on. Everything went well, I got through the logo screen and everything, but then it just hangs there right before I hit the Home screen where you can do your code and everything.
Methods I've attempted:
I've tried going through CWM recovery to fix the issue but then I notice that it says near the bottom as it loads "E: Can't open/cache/recovery/log" and it has the same "E: Can't open/..." for everything. Can't mount, wipe cache, wipe data, restore, I have no backup (stupid right), can't do anything. Also, when I do attempt to wipe data through CWM I notice "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" if that has any special meaning.
I've tried flashing stock firmware through odin multiple times on different usb ports and different computers.
I've tried flashing PIT file (I'm not really sure if thats how you're supposed to do it but yea, I flashed the PIT file through odin by itself and with stock firmware)
Misc. Info: I did have a custom ROM installed(can't really remember which one), I also have the app2sd installed, the only thing that struck out to me when my tablet went out is that it received an OTA update for 4.1.2? and for some reason it went through even though I never intended to update.
I'm really, REALLY, open to any suggestion that could possibly help fix this tablet. On the other hand if the cold hard truth is that its gone forever or that I simply just have to take it back to Samsung (which I highly doubt I'll be able to), then please by all means let me know.
THANK YOU!!!
Bump
Help Please
Did you try flashing a different recovery again. CWM? Also after installing stock through odin try a factory wipe. It would probably help to know what your last rom was.
