Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle....
I downloaded skype a while back, but while it was downloading, it randomly hard reset my phone (Im running bionix rom and it does that sometimes). It didn't even show the samsung logo. It went to the boot animation and continued to loop it and never started back up. Now, whenever I try to redownload skype, it freezes my phone because part of skype is still in my phone and it doesn't know what to do with it. I tried uninstalling it but I didnt show up under my apps. What the hell do I do??
Did u try using root explorer to find it?

SOLVED
Hi, i'm having a big trouble with my polaris and I don't really know why the hell.
I've been using xda roms for a while. Every once in a while I flashed my rom, tried new ones and that was pretty much it.
I used to run Cruise_Radio_1.65.30.09 and some other roms.
Lately this weird problem has been happening to me. I updated my rom to a rom with WM6.5
Now whenever it restarts, no matter if I pressed reset button or if I restarted it with software it just ****s up, stays on the boot screen and if I press reset button again it kinda craps the whole thing out and either does nothing, or windows starts up again as if it had never been configured.
I've downgraded my radio to Cruise_Radio_1.59.46.12 and I'm now using PC CARVALHO's latest updated rom (which btw ROCKS).
still it keeps crashing.
i'm going to try to flash the original rom and then this new carvalho's rom
will that fix it?¿
UPDATE
It did fix it.
Is this the right place to post this?
Inspire 4G Rooted, S-OFF, Clockworked with Bubby's One Click, and attempted to flash CM7.
I can make it past the set up, all the way into the phone. Shortly after, it will just kind of randomly freeze up and go through the boot animation again and then take me to a lock screen. I can unlock it and go back into the phone, but it will almost immediately freeze and go back to the boot animation again.
Flashed 3 times, once on RC2 and twice on RC3, using ROM Manager 3.0.1.0, Clockwork 3.0.0.6, wiping data and cache each time.
Please help!
Did this happen when you were turning on Wifi?
Now that I think about it, the most recent flash I did, yes it did occur when I turned on Wifi...but I am not sure about the other times.
What would wifi have to do with it?

Its a known niggle with almost every CM build. It doesn't like wifi on the first boot. Let it come to the launcher screen and then reboot the phone. Things should go smoothly after that.
same thing happened to me. I just rebooted it a few times and problem solved. Had no idea that wifi was the problem though.
Awesome! Flashing now...
This works!!
Thanks again guys...

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929326
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?
hey guys need some help, i am currently running the MaxQ rom kk4 and well i decided to use titanium backup to remove a app, the app i wanted to remove was quickoffice, as i already installed a pro edition from market. and i didnt want to have two icons showing.
so i selected force remove app in titanium backup, the phone was suppose to reboot twice and the app was to be gone. but instead the phone rebooted and hangs at teh att logo. how can i get this phone going without loosing everything?? i did make a backup using cwm before it happaned, but i cant get into recovery mode. i may be doing something wrong.
Get into download mode then flash back to stock. Finally root, then install cwm and do the back up

It's rooted. Previously have run some custom roms, but I've gone back to stock since then.
Problem: Phone randomly restarts. It seems like it's only ever does it when it's plugged in and charging. Still, it happens just once every few days, and I can't recognize the pattern. It loads "Android is upgrading, starting apps." It vibrates for a nanosecond, and freezes, then restarts, and loops from there.
I don't know what to do, and fresh starts, factory resets, wiped caches, etc...do nothing
Thanks for anything guys. It's becoming quite annoying to change my settings and to rely on titanium backup every night to make sure that apps and data are there if something happe

If you're completely stock, it leads me to think it may be hardware related.
I would try to odin a stock image again and see if that fixes the issue, just in case something bad happened during the flash, if that still doesn't fix the issue, send it into samsung and see if they'll replace your phone.
