Had oxygen mod installed and franco kernel etc and after months of using it fine I thought the phone was running a bit funny so thought it reinstall fresh.
I knew the files were still on my sd card so i went to go into bootloader or recovery and i got a black screen that had a message Firmware Update Step 1/2 Unpacking.
It finished and appears to put me back on Android 2.21
I then rooted the phone and tried installing clockword mod etc but was having all sorts of problems getting marketplace to work. Can search for apps but when i click install nothing happens. I did enter my gmail account details for sync and it can list my apps available from my account.
USB is not working, it shows up sometimes in the top bar but when i click connect nothing happens and the phone freezes or reboots.
I cant get into the bootloader screen it instead brings up the standard Android bootloader and wont recognise my rom on the sdcard.
I tried rooting with superoneclick and although it roots the phone it seems to cause the issues???
Is Superoneclick the only way of rooting U8800?
Hello, tried finding a thread with the same issue but was not able to.
I did my first flash to a custom and the ROM flash went without any issues.
(TrickDroid for the S4 ROM)
Installation went fine, phone started up and I started setting up the accounts and WiFi.
Then when those steps were done the "update is available" screen came up.
There I have to choose data connection, WiFi only or any connection with the OK button at the bottom.
Well nothing happens when clicking the OK button and same result choosing either of the two choices.
Update available screen is the first thing I see after each reboot.
Done this update a few times before when phone has been reset due to updates and then it has worked just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: I reinstalled Trickdroid and removed my simcard before booting.. That way I got past the system update screen and am now able to use the phone.
Also disabled auto update and hopefully will not get stuck at that screen again.
I have a rooted phone I bought from someone and it was failing the Samsung updates that came to the phone. So I installed Kies and was able to update the firmware to Android Version 4.0.4 using the computer.
The wifi is connected fine to my home network. It's just when I open the Web icon, it freezes and the screen goes black and eventually I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Web has stopped." I have to hit ok. Sometimes after that I also get a message that says TW Launcher has stopped working.
How can I fix this? The main thing I use the phone for is internet.
Thanks in advance. I am a newbie to the Androids and hope I didn't really mess up the phone by updating the firmware.
First thing I would do is wipe the data/cache from the browser app, and see if that fixes it. If not, you could try another browser, or try a factory reset (will wipe user data/apps).
So yesterday I successfully upgraded my Motorola Defy from 2.2 to jellybean using the latest version or the cyanogen mod. I also installed the latest Gapps. Everything seemed fine until attempted to connect to wifi. When I click on the browser app it loads then instantly crashes. Then I tried the play store but it would not connect. It says it is connected to my home wifi next to the connection but says not connected under the drop down menu.
To try to fix this I reinstalled the cyanogen mod and gapps. Same problem. Then I tried a later version of them with still no luck. Every time I have installed I have restored and cleared the cache. The lasted install won't even turn on wifi.
Everything I have downloaded has been from links on this site. I am a total noob at this and have no idea what's wrong so I've just given as much info as I can.
I have the shield tablet LTE version and after connecting to WIFI it immediately installed all OTAs upto the hotfix also. So here I am sitting with lollipop in my tablet and I decide to go for rooting and CWM installation.. After rooting using adb/fastboot and installing CWM image, I decide to disable ATTall access because I read that it stops the portable hotspot from working. So, did that and then process after process started crashing. First it started with background data not being enabled (playstore wouldn't open) , NVidia hub crashing, google text to speech crashing, etc.
So, I went to cwm and did factory reset. At the initial stages itself where it asks for language setup, the google text to speexh crashes and I cannot click next or proceed forward.
I flash the Lollipop OTA once again thinking it would overwrite the system but it didn't.. and the same issue keeps happening..
Now what do I do?

An update to the mess i was in...
I tried recovery mode at the fastloader boot menu and I got the robot lying down with a red exclamation mark sign. I pressed vol + key and it opened the original recovery I think. I wiped user data from this menu and rebooted. and now it has come to the original screen setup and so far no process crashes...
What could have caused this entire mess?
I am not sure what would cause your issues but i believe your best bet is to download the full rom image for your tablet and flash it via fastboot. That should get you back up and running. (Be warned doing this will erase everything on your tablet!! SD card will be untouched)
By fullmrom u mean the one from the nvidia developer website right?
Yes that is the one! I am currently at work so I cant post a link to it but if you need it ill try to post it once im off, in about 30-ish minutes. Good luck! (p.s. last resort is RMA)
Is your shield up and running once again? Just wanted to get an update. =]
Thanks javydawg, I didnt use the one on nvidias developer website as i simply did not have enough data left in my Internet plan .. its 2.3 gb in size... after recoVery i was left with lollipop so i flashed a 750 mb file tht i gt from these forums and updated it to the latest version.. i still haven't pinpointed the reason for my earlier trouble but will shout out if it happens again... have to be careful cos not sure if RMA is possible for me in India...
