[Q] Can't bootup samung galaxy s

Hello everybody,
after I deleted some file/maps from my root sd I could not startup my samsung galaxy s anymore. It stops while displaying the samsung logo. I think there is no (working) booting system available anymore.
- I can start the recovery mode (2e).
- I can start the download mode.
In the recovery mode I can only use update.zip. This is no option because I can not enter the root to put an update.zip file there. Is there a way to get update.zip to the root (internal sd) or is there a firmware which support an external micro-sd card. Or maybe there is a program which can recover my galaxy s. A this moment it looks like my phone is broken.
Is there anyone who know a solution for this problem?
Please please help me!
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Martijn,
I'm assuming you're using a stock firmware (nothing fancy like DocRom, Darky, etc.)
Since you can enter download mode you could use Odin and try to flash a firmware.
If you can remember what firmware you currently are using my guess would be you might actually keep your data.
Try samfirmware.com, register en download the right one. There are a lot of flash-guides you might want to read before you begin.
Sincerely yours,
Jeroen.

Thanks for your anwsers! I found the solution for my problem on this site (Dutch):

[GUIDES]Some support postings for MikFroyo Roms

This is the "OP" or the Original Post #1....read it before asking any questions that my be answered in this post or in any of the following links!
Background: I started this thread because of the explosive growth of MikFroyo's Roms. The thread got so clogged with total new user's questions that it became difficult to find real answers to real problems. Not that new users can't learn, but I wanted to try and create a place for people who don't depend upon RomManager to control their lives!
Look, the way I see it, if you were smart enough to root your phone and start flashing new ROMs (that is the correct way to spell it btw, not roms, it is an acronym after all!), then you deserve concise answers to your issues based upon my experience in flashing phones that I have gathered in the past 3 years since I first started flashing things for my Razr phone.
I will assume you know how to use, and have properly setup, adb on your home computer. Yes, many of the commands you may see me or others post could be done through a terminal window on your phone, but your life will be much easier and more efficient if you have adb setup and working correctly on your home computer or laptop!
Here as a begining are some of the more useful posts I and others have made regarding flashing MikFroyo ROMs and some of the issues associated with this endeavor:

Browse the entire thread if you like, but the download links are in the 1st post. Thanks for the guide goes to joeykrim.

I just flashed mikfroyo, got it working, then flashed the kernal that you suggested.
My wifi turns on for a second, does not connect, then turns off and says unable to scan for wifi??? I did do a full wipe, cache and dalvik before flashing mikfroyo.
Any suggestions?

I want u to flash this zip ima link u too.
Flash the zip and then wipe everything again twice then from there flash the rom n kernel all in one recovery visit..
So
One- flash the formatall.zip
Two- wipe cache dalvik n data n sd ext two times
Three- flash rom
Four- flash kernel
On the same recovery session.
By the way what kernel u using?
Heres the formatall.zip link

flash cache after format all......i don't think so...... i always boot into ROM before i do the kernel just in case, but i am paranoid haha

Installing ADB
First off I am not the originator of this guide, it can be found here and was created by nephron. I just updated it with some updated links and instructions. The newer version seemed to do a lot of the steps that were in his guide therefore I didn't need to do them to get adb to work.
Another guide I borrowed some stuff from can be found here and was created by joeykrim. If you are using a mac or linux machine go to this thread for the download links.
Again I want to give credit to those guys because they really created the original threads and I just borrowed some from both of them to create an updated install guide. This is only an install guide and if you have ADB command questions you will be better off going to those threads and asking in there or searching XDA for your answers.
Link to the Android SDK site, you might check here to see if there is an updated version of the SDK that I have link below(installer_r10)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things you need:
Android SDK - Download
7-zip - Download
Win 7 Drivers- Download-thanks shep 211
HTC Sync-The one that is in the SD card that came with your phone will work
Windows PC
USB Cable
A Rooted HTC EVO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up the Android SDK
I installed the drivers and htc sync first, I am not sure if that matters or not.
Download the file SDK file from above and accept defaults to install it.
Once installed make sure the box is checked that says "Start SDK Manager" and hit finish.
Once SDK Manager opens click on the accept all radio button and hit install. Be patient it will take awhile.
Any problems or questions go here.
Once completed take the "android-sdk" folder and move it to the root of your hard drive (C:\).
It will be located in c:\program files(x86)\android, it's large folder so it might take a little while.
Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
On the bottom half (system variables)
go to PATH and edit it to include C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Make sure to separate it from the rest of the ones in there by a semicolon
Hit Ok
*The reason for this is so that you can run adb from any folder on your drive so that you don't have to copy your files to the tools folder. Big thanks to jadeboy and coiledwire for helping me figure this out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
If you are running MikFroyo it should be checked by default but you can double check it if you want.
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and it should automatically install the drivers. I've done this 4 times and every time it finds the phone just fine.
If not check out this thread here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check if your phone is detected by ADB
Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands. Go here if you want to learn/test some of the basics, it's in joeykrim's thread. His push/pull of test.apk won't work because that file isn't in there. However you can just create a test.txt file on your c:\ and push/pull that to your phone. That's what I did to test that.
Easiest one to test is
Code:
adb reboot
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!

Hey you might stick this in your popular solutions OP.

Slow Market.
Thanks to Mitchellvii
JK you can just link to his post on this if you want since he actually found it. Here's the link
POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO SLOW MARKET:
As you use your Market, your /cache appears to fill up with .apk files call Download-1, Download-2, etc. Why Market chooses to just continually add these without deleting the older ones is beyond me. It eventually just eats up your /cache and slows Market Updates.
From what I can tell, there is absolutely no harm whatsoever in deleting these. You can delete them using Root Explorer + Multi-select or you can boot into Recovery and Wipe Cache. I am not sure if wiping /cache also clears Dalvik Cache if it is on /cache. However, if your phone takes a long time to reboot after wiping /cache then I would assume it does since your phone has to rebuild Dalvik. Either way, nothing is damaged.
I have looked at the various "cache cleaners" on the Market and have not found one that clears out these "Download-#.apk" files. If someone knows of one, please share it with the room.
The act of going into Applications and clearing MikMarket Data & Cache does NOT delete these extraneous files.
CONCLUSION:
If your Market is being unresponsive, use:
1. Root Explorer to delete all of the "Download-#.apk" files from your /cache (root), or
2. reboot into recovery and wipe cache.
After this, your Market should become much more responsive. Option #1 is easier.

Can I install a rom from Rom Manager

I would love some help, can someone tell me how to install a rom using Rom Manager. I've install clockwork recovery downloaded CM7.2 for my ascend. Can I install this, using Rom Manager? I have premium, but I have ruined 2 zio m6000 , 1 samsung moment, and 1 ascend. Up really dont want to loS another phone. Could I get a hand, here? I havE nO clue whaT half the things talked about on here are. But, its starting to cosT to much $ learning.

As we are speaking about ROMs, any wrong operation can turn your phone in a simple book holder. I am not expert (bought my first HTC 3d ago), but already have good experience to help you A BIT.
- enter ClockWork (reboot your phone, press volume-down as it starts, navigate and enter RECOVERY mode: clock-work is installed in the recovery zone; some ROMs may have a reboot-to-recovery feature)
- navigate and wipe system, user-data, and cache zones
- navigate in menus a either perform a restaure, or apply-patch-from-zip depending on your type of ROM (IMG, zip ... )
You can also try to install your ROM without wipe, BUT, if you see CW does NOT says it will erase or format the partition first, then you are going to have troubles (small troubles: it will boot, but not work properly). You can start by this operation, and when you have found how to flash, then you wipe ... this will avoid having an empty system, and have your phone unusable for a time.
If you have a broken system, you can always put the SD card into computer and push a working rom using SD (then CW) or fastboot.
After successfull flash, you may want to wipe user and cache zones. Again, it just helps having a clean system, and is not mandatory; keeping old user-data usually works, but CAN make bugs trigger.
At your own risks. Good luck.

Learn to help yourself. You are not asking a new question.
1. Use the search function.
2. Use Google.
3. Research!
4. Read, read, read!
5. Don't actually try any modifications until you're confident you know what you're doing and willing to accept the consequences if you screw up.
6. If you fail, do more research and reading so you can...
7. Try to fix it yourself before asking for help.
8. Ask intelligent questions if you do still need help.

htc one s back deleted system folder

hi all, i'm sorry for to be so noob, but i haven't no friends to ask and i can't find nothing like my problem on this forum, maybe i don't search well.
i'm so noob that i've rooted my htc one s successfully but after i've have installed one app called "LCD density" thats broke my startup file; i wasn't happy more and i've formatted my system folder with clockrecovery.
Now i've a phone that make a beatyfull ligth white and nothing all.
i've downloaded this file ir2-1.78.401.2-DUO-ville.zip(it is right?) and i'd rather to flash it into my phone but i' don't know how with adb or fastboot for the fact that i've no acces to my sdcard.
Thanks to all people who reply me and sorry for my bad english.

Can you get to the clockworkmod and is your device s-off? Put the rom you want to flash in your sd card with a reader or an old smart phone,boot up to the cwm,wipe data-cache and dalvik cache from advanced. Then choose the .zip and flash it.

Not sure if serious or trolling ...
The One series doesn't have SD-Card support, which is one of the main reasons I excluded them from my wish-list of next phone.

It's not very clear if you really deleted /system folder..."LCD Density" just changed build.prop file
If so ..?! do you have a backup on internal sd-card have you ever used Recovery Mode to make a backup on internal sd-card ? then easy to restore
if I know dpi is set in /system/build.prop
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=256
I think this is true for your phone but the easy way to solve your problem is to perform a factory reset. This will wipe your data on the phone and reset the phone to factory settings
Turn off your phone
Press Volume Down and Power buttons
Release all buttons when the screen of Android appears
Select Wipe data / Factory reset or Clear dataUse Volume Up and Volume Down to go up and down. Use Power or Home button to selectAfter that select Fastboot and Reboot​​​

Yes i thought about this, but how?? I think i need custom recovery for this, but can't install one. If there is other way of installing I will be happy. Thanks.

I don't know any other way to install gapp except using recovery.
Install recovery and find your phone gapp and flash using recovery

Hello guys, just wanted to let you know that after many hours of hard work I finally managed to get Google Play Services and root working. If anyone ever needs help with this particular model or any x86 based Android tablet/phone with unknown brand you can send me private message or answer in this thread. The problem with this type of devices is that no one makes custom recovery for them that's why I had to load a temporary one. Here is a link. By following the guide there you will get in recovery pretty much 99% of time. From there it's easy just flash SuperSU package and GApps. The best and only working x86 (Intel Processors) GApps with this version of CWM recovery are Franken GApps. You flash them and you are done. You now have working, licensed and usable tablet/phone! Screenshots below! :highfive:

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;
*In case the recovery says something like "Not enough space to install zip" or something similar, please, write in this thread so I can help you.
Good luck!

Hello there,
Sorry for the off topic.
I also have the same tablet and I managed to do all the things listed above.
I was trying to update the Android on this thing by flashing a ROM of a very similar tablet (hardware-wise) and I semi bricked it but I managed to recover through the ECU shell(!). I have every partition in img using dd.
The thing is. Do you have any resources about a new ROM? I found the anzhen4_mrd7 source files on GitHub and I'm trying to build a CM build. Downloaded the source code etc.
If you want to collaborate send me a PM
