I was trying to flash a kernel that i found in a forum, i tried with Voodoo, my phone was already rooted. Then i heard a female robot voice saying something about "partition" and a process that was gonna take like ten min. From then, the google logo pops up and nothing will happen. i cant put it in download or recovery mode. now the robot voice isnt even saying anything basically just stuck on a google logo screen. I have no idea what to do. can someone please help me.
What kind of phone do you have? (Assuming Mesmerize or Showcase?) What version of Android are you on? If you come to (http://webchat.freenode.net/)(#samsung-mesmerize), it be easier to help you out. You'll need to Odin back to Stock before going forward to Voodoo lagfix.
I once biffed my phone up flashing an incapatible kernel and took it back to the store. They were happy to re-flash it for me. I also was not able.to get in recovery.
I simply told them I was trying to perform the 2.3.5 update which was listed on the site and something went wrong.
Just FYI, The voice was the kerenl enabling voodoo lag fix (a very good thing)!

Im having a problem with my Mesmerize, and I think this could help me out, but the link wont send me anywhere, can you help me out?
I think i can help u out.
K so if ur having any problems wit ur mesmerize, i'd recommend flashing back to stock rom.
Now to do this, your going to have to go to rootwiki and find the mesmerize forum.
Go to the first thread on the page, and there you can find a link to download Odin 3.1, Eh09 and Eh20 radios, and CWM 4.
To find the stock roms, theres another thread on rootzwiki that has the official USCC stock froyo and gingerbread roms.
With those downloaded, ur just gonna want to flash them on ur phone through odin. Plug phone into computer while holding the down volume the get the phone into downloading mode. Import the two files and there you have it.
Hope this solves ur problem
Blah
This phone is annoying me. Lol.
Hi all im having a brain malfunction,
i have infuse 4 g att with latest "non rooted" 2.3.6 gingerbread from at&t I997uckl2
kernal version 2.6.35.7-I997uckl2-cl806505
gingerbread.uckl2
now my malfunction, i have dl the latest zues rom updated 3-5-12
i cannot seem to figure out 2 things. how to install cwm onto phone "need root" i think,
and 2 and here is where i get called a noob, so i placed the zues build onto my sdcard tried to update form there however, 1 when i get into the directory to update from sd i cannot find the zip "dont have win zip have winrar"
can anyone help a poor sod with a slap and direct me/give links to correct program to install cwm/and zues.
i have odin 1.81 i did dl a zip for cwm-uckl2 however i cannot seem to figure out how to interface it to phone to install it ntm from what i can see odin looks for a pit file/ .tar and i show in my cwm folder under updates modem.bin and redbend_ua
ive done this before but after the last update from at&t im lost
check out the forum below, it has everything you need. You need to root the phone first, install 3eRecovery and CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
thanks but i think i failed to say this is the STOCK version of gingerbread the one there is no root for.
thats where im having issues windows is blatently retarded and will not allow heimdall to see the phone. if i have the phone on and connected zadig.exe runs finds phone installs drivers and all cool but then when i go to put phone in dl mode all a sudden i no longer have the device"phone " listed.
so i go to super one click ver. 2.3.3 after it loads 198 zerglings and pauses it fails in middle of step 7.
the real issue here is rooting, thats the real problem, once i root and or flash a rom thats rooted in order to finally instal the zues rom is my goal.
so im at a loss as to what file to actually use where it is able to be installed with out this samgung/at&t from feb,
fail rom lol "i hate at&t if you cant tell. thanks for any help
the same guy below was having the same problems as you I think...you have to flash Entropy512's kernel first I believe using ODIN which can be found on the second link I provided. The first link provides everything, I'd try to explain but I don't want to mess you up.

I tried to update my G2x yesterday via the LG updater tool. Long story short, it froze on the S/W Updating screen and neither T-Mo or LG support could assist in getting it fixed.
I read that it was pretty hard to brick the G2x so I decided to give it an all out effort to resurrect it, especially after the T-Mobile tier two tech support told me there was nothing that could be done, if what he had tried didn't work, the phone was toast. I am just a woman who is more technical than the average woman my age, but I don't mod my phones much in general. I tweak.
I will list what all I have tried, as much in order as I can recall since starting this Friday at noon, don't laugh! (oh the phone is currently working, only 3g and with this Wind ancient looking version)
Flashed CWM on phone (tried all versions at some point in the process)
Totally cleared phone
Tried KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.exe to flash V21E_00 and V21Y_00 Neither would work
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 Worked, looked beautiful, wifi but no cell service, no baseband, no IMEI
Flashed kdz WIND V11h - everything working but only at 3g
I thought if I got back to something that would put back in a baseband and my IMEI, I could find my way back to the most current update. I can't seem to flash anything new though.
I've tried this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1149
and this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25321356
Both awesome and helpful posts but I can't get anything other than this V11h!!
Help! And thanks! And I am sorry if this seems ridiculously easy, I think my brain quit working about 6 hours ago!
Oh, my question is, how do I go about getting it at least back to where it was? (Never updated from stock, March of 2011)

I'm by no means an expert -- an advanced amateur, maybe -- but I'll do my best.
What exactly were you trying to update when you bricked the phone? You said you were using the LG updater tool, but what exactly were you trying to do? Was your phone already rooted prior to the attempted update? Had you made any modifications to your phone or were you running stock? That may help us get to the root of your problem.
Are you still able to get into the S/W update screen using the directions in the PDF you attached? (Ie: if you remove the battery, hold both volume buttons, and then plug in the USB, does your phone turn on and go into software update mode?) If you can get it into this mode, you should be able to flash the stock TMobile ROM using NVFlasher as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
This may get you back to step one, and you can try again. Or maybe at that point, someone more knowledgeable will come around with better advice.
Good luck.
Thanks for your quick reply!
I was trying to uh...update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread to hopefully help resolve some minor but longstanding issues I had had with my phone. Mainly, the random reboot and powering off I was really getting sick of.
My phone was not rooted prior to this. I was running stock.
Yes, I can still get into the S/W updater screen following the instructions in the .pdf I posted.
And funny you should post this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056847
That is where I originally started when my phone first froze. I have tried to flash to stock using the NV flasher right before I posted the original question. It didn't do a thing and that's when I threw my hands up and decided I needed help!

heh... I can totally relate to throwing your hands up. I just started tinkering with my phone a couple of months ago, and the first night, I spent from 10:00pm until about 5:00am just trying to get Cyanogenmod installed. It was frustrating, but after a lot of reading and re-trying, I finally got it to work.
Okay, when you run NVFlasher, do you get any messages at all? Once you click one of the buttons to flash the phone, I believe a DOS window should popup showing you the status of the flash, whether there are errors while flashing or if it completed successfully. If there are errors, be sure you have the proper APX driver installed, which should be included with the NVFlasher package. What OS are you using on your PC? Windows XP? 7? When you have the phone plugged into the USB and the S/W update screen is showing, you should see "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager.
lol...10pm to 5am eh? Sounds like me, I was (sounds crazy) noon Friday until 2am Sat and started up again around 9am and well...here I sit at 3 am my time, with a few breaks thrown in!
When I run NV flasher, it all goes smoothly. It looks totally complete, no errors. And I am familiar with the errors, the first few hours I had nothing but errors and dead ends. I have the proper APX driver for sure, I thankfully, run XP on this computer. And yes to the "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager. "
Scratching your head like me? I don't want to do Cyanogenmod again, which is what I am tempted to do, thinking now that I have the baseband back, the cell phone service would work. I really just want my phone back the way it was, albeit, updated..ok, so not exactly the way it was!
Currently on phone, so no links. But in other lg device forum on xda there is the "offline updater method" of kdz flashing. It tricks lg updater into using a custom kdz and not to check online. Look for v21y.kdz and use that. Its 2.3.4.
If you can get it working with the old wind mobile rom all you have to do is use the official lg tool from their website and it will update to the latest version for you I had the same problems you are talking about and the only thing I could get to work was the lg offline update tool and flashing the old wind mobile rom after i got that working just went to lg and used their program and it updated me to new baseband an 2.3.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25116859
This is what you will have to do. It took me a while to figure it out. But when you have the programs and files you need all downloaded and setup it works without being online. It worked for me once I figured it out. I had to read it a few times and do some searching for all the files but they are out there. If you do not find them via this site Google it. Good luck.

Awesome! What finally worked for you?
Hmmm...can I even remember?? My brain is still swimming in downloads and error messages!
I had tried the offline updater earlier, but the "Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs" file never would load, I kept getting an error on line 25. I downloaded it all again from other links, and this time I thought it would go through but I kept getting an error at line 70 something.
I finally read "instruction.docx" (the steps that the vbs file was going to have me follow) lol
I turned the windows enabler to the ON position.
I also disabled my LG modem first as I had read that on the .pdf file I posted earlier and it had allowed me to get Wind on there.
I disabled my firewall and anti virus temporarily also.
I opened the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe set it to "3GQCT" and "EMERGENCY" and chose the V21y kdz
I hit "Normal web upgrade test"
Then start upgrade or something and the LG updater tool opened, it found my phone, I think I pressed Start upgrade or whatever again, waited, held my breath too long, passed out, woke up VOILA! DONE!
That is a VERY rough translation of what I did, I have had so many trial and error attempts and variations of settings, files etc, that I don't know what really finally worked! But thank you for your encouragement last night, because I was really about to give up for good (thus the last ditch "when all else fails ASK for help" post) and throw not only my hands up, but the phone across the room!
Now I am finally getting around to re loading my apps and all my settings, ringtones, etc etc etc. I don't know if I now love or hate my G2x!
Thanks to everyone for their replies! And everyone else who posts here and helps so many novices like me!
Glad to hear your back up and running.

I have literally tried everything I could possibly think of to get v11h updated to v21e or even v21y and nothing is working for me. I am stuck at the part where the phone begins to update, but disconnects at param(5) and then fails after that. I have tried every method and tutorial that I could find and I am still searching. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

What does "disabling the LG modem" mean?
I have a Wind P999 phone with the V11h base band. Of course, the LG updater tool says that I have the latest baseband.
I tried updating using the KDZ tool but that did not work. for me.
I tried pushing a T-mobile Stock Rom too. It did not updated the baseband. LG tool still says I have the latest update.
I have also tried the hack of using the LG Updated with a local shttp server. But even then, when I pressed the "Normal web upgrade test" and "Start update" nothing happens.
Am I supposed to get some feedback while the upgrade happens? How long does this process take?
I am using Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All antivirus disabled.
Anything else I could try?
BTW, I have been able to revive a bricked p999 T-Mobile phone that I got from Ebay. it has the stock T-MObile Rom with the March 2012 baseband and software version v21y. This Wind phone is just testing me
First post, and I'm sure you get this alot but I truly am sorry if this is something that's asked 20 times a day. I've spent a good bit of time searching this site and the www but can't seem to find something that addresses this specifically.
I bought a new LG Nitro from att, flashed it to ICS. Now I want to return the phone as I'm still inside my 30 days. I'm assuming I'd be better off putting Gingerbread back on it, but can't figure out how. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks again
Also, if anyone happens to know if At&t doesn't mind accepting returned phones after they've been flashed then let me know! (their return policy doesn't say anything about it)
Did you flash it by Odin or with the official Update Software brought to you by LG?
If you took Odin you really shouldnt send it back to your provider cus they might recognize that you flashed the sw.
You can downgrade your FW:
Download the Gingerbread Stock Rom you want to flash ( search in the internet or in xda )
Flash it via Odin (If you dont know how to do this --> search in the xda )
Hope I could help you =)

Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was.
