I NEED HELP!!
Hi i just tried this using the guide above, after step 11 i heard linda come on and say 4 minutes remaining, then after it said two minutes remaing in operation and then the phone went blank and restarted i guess?
the samsung galaxy 4g screen came on and then a static screen with different colors...it stays on that screen for a little bit then turns off and goes back to samsung galaxy 4g screen and then back to the static screen. then it does shuts down and repeats the above.
idk if i did anything or how to stop this...im actually sitting by RIGHT NOW, any kind of help would be appreciated. THX!

You did something wrong but as long as you can get into download you should be fine

Sounds like you have some bad bootloaders. Follow the GB starter pack link in my signature and you should get on gingerbread.
Hey i tried the link in your signature and i followed it properly.
but somehow I am still stuck!!
i used Darky's rom 10.2 extreme edition or something (if there is a different better one and one that is more compatible PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!)
now after step 12, i rebooted and I am stuck at this screen loop:
samsung galaxy 4g t-mobile screen then it flashes to Galaxy S powered by darky's rom screen and then shuts off then again Samsung galaxy 4 g t-mobile screen and keeps looping back
PLEASE HELP ONE MORE TIME PLEASE!
Sounds like you flashed a ROM that wasn't intended for the SGH-T959V. Vibrant/Galaxy S roms won't work on the Galaxy S 4G. I recommend you find a ROM from these forums and flash that.
if you could post a link to a great rom, either the one you are using or one you think is really good, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!
and another thing, once i find a rom from these forums, all i do is just repeat the steps from your link ONE MORE TIME!?
the development forum is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1068
pick one of the gingerbread roms from there. the newest gingerbread roms are based on KH1 or KH2. KG4 and KG6 will also work, but they are a little bit older.
hey i did everything over again, i used audiophile rom
after the step 12 according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
i hit reboot, the phone keeps opening up to CWM Vood lagfix recovery
how do i get past this?
Are you hitting reboot recovery by mistake?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
no i keep hitting reboot system now
then i tried the power off button and still nothing..same thing..back to voodoo lagfix
That's an odd one. Maybe try taking the SD card out then reboot. I'm sure someone more advanced will have a good solid answer.

mann ima try that real quick.
i need help, so if someone could maybe help out..
im appreciating the feedback im getting so far..thx!
There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here so you will definitely get some help. It just may take a bit.

I was replacing the stock recovery file with Krylon's Modded Recovery Binary.
I deleted the stock recovery file in /system/bin (copyed it to external sd) after pasteing the Modded Recovery Binary in /system/bin.
I had the CWM 3 file already copied to my external sd card
I turned off my phone to reboot it and the phone is now stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S 4g logo. All my soft keys are lit up too.
Is my phone bricked? How do i get into download mode? What can i do to fix this?
Im Very noob and going to have a "pro" fix if it can be.
Im a blue collar worker and dont work at a pc. Im traveling to work and wont be able to reply in real time but PLEASE leave comments. I will be checking in when i can...

Hold both volume keys and then plug the usb from the computer to your phone to access download mode. If it doesn't work u can buy a unbrick jig from ebay. If you get into download mode using volume keys then flash back to stock. Phone should be turned off if trying to put into download mode

Do I have a soft brick or a hard brick?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA Premium App
You have a soft brick. This should be fixable getting into DOWNLOAD MODE and using ODIN. Do a few searches for both. A JIG may be necessary to obtain download mode as well. Search all topics I have listed in all CAPS and you should be good to go! PM me if you have any questions...
same thing happened to me, all I did was I downloaded whitehawkx KD1 kernel which is perfect because your phone will already be rooted and has the file so you could put CWM3, after you download it get into download mode and flash with odin, if you need any more help please let me know

Thanks for the good news. I feel much better knowing what needs to be done. I will search your topics. I have been reading everything I can on this subject. I probably should have done that before I made this post. It's my first brick and I was desperate for info.
I'm going to try to fix it after 2pm (with help)...I'm in work and its the longest day of my life today. Lol.
If I need to PM you I will for sure.
Thank you VERY MUCH for all your help!

I'm going to do exactly what you suggest. I only had rooted stock so if I fix this with whitehawkx I'll have a better phone.
If I need help I will let you know.

I'm very noob but there are people who will help you on here for sure.
I had a "soft brick". Phone stuck on Samsung galaxy s 4g splash screen with my soft keys lit up too. I searched and read in this forum. I went to our 4g development section and found a post called Noobs guide to Odin.
From that post I downloaded the samsung drivers I needed for the pc I was using (32 bit in my case), downloaded Odin 1.7 and then downloaded krylon360 stock/root rom.
I ran Odin, got my phone into download mode and then flashed the rom with no problems.
I'm new and in work so can't be too much help. Everything you need to know has been talked about on our forum. People will help you. Good luck!...
Maybe you should post your own topic in this GENERAL section to let people know you are bricked. Put I'm bricked in the subject line. A fresh topic might get peoples attention faster. Like I said I'm new.

Hey Everyone!
Running into a issue, I just cleared my CM7 rom and now trying to switch to Caty. (I need bluetooth in the car)
I cleared it with Odin, rooted, and have the newest Caty installed. Now the first time I'm booting up, I got passed the Samsung screen with the voice over installation and now it's been stuck on the moving graphics for the past half hour.
Does it really take this long to install or is something wrong?
Thanks in advanced!

i had the same issue when i first installed it, all you have to do is go into cwm recovery and wipe disk clear all cache basically clear everything, then reboot fixed it for me, hope it helps
Hey guys, I'm on a Rogers i896 using i897 boot loaders and I get weird images on the first boot screen before the kernel image & boot image appears. They look like static/distorted images (best description sorry). This first happened when I decided to load ATT GB back when that leaked before rogers firmware was out. That was corrected when i reverted back obviously. But the steps i followed to install my first ICS rom required i use Odin and flashed some i897 packages with a cwm enabled kernel to proceed any further. Im now an ICS flash addict and I've learned to deal with it as I've searched high and low for a solution without any luck. I know I've seen this issue somewhere else and I hate to create another thread but I would really appreciate any input from some more experienced users. =)
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
U need to flash (through Odin/Heimdall) the i897 "Gingerbread" Bootloaders.
See TRusselo's Guide that is a Stickied Thread in the Q & A Forum.
He has a link there for the GB Bootloaders.
That will solve the pixelated screen issue.

Edit: Worked great, thanks one more time!
is there any way i can get my infuse to work again its stuck at this screen with a phone and pc with lines pointing to a caution sign, it dont power on it goes strait to that no matter what i do and kies wont detect that its plugged in either, what happed is i upgraded to GB using kies and a few hours later it started turning off all the time and kept doing other things like reading the sd card over and over so i thought i would try and redo it again using odin and root package and my phone is now stuck in limbo please let me know if you have encountered this before as now im forced back to my old iphone 3g please help me?!!

Greetings ladies and gents,
I have a bit of an issue with a co-workers phone. It seems that he attempted to root his Blaze and completely screwed it up. You see, I'm from HTC land and have never rooted a "Sammy" before. I have no issue with those devices but my friend is a bit "special" and has trouble boiling water if you gave him the instructions.
What I know:
He told me that all he d/l'd was ODIN and the USB drivers and nothing else. Once he connected his phone via USB his problems started. (I really don't believe ANY of this...But I digress)
Now his phone only does 2 things... 1. It will attempt to boot and never completes. You get the BLAZE 4G exclusive to TMobile splash and the progress bar an freezes shortly after. 2. I can trick the phone into the stock recovery with a bit of prodding.
Other than that, nothing but the battery screen showing it charging.
I'm trying to help the guy get rooted, so can someone lead me to a bit of help?
Thanks in advance...:silly:
Can you access download mode?
Its vol up + vol down then power. While connecting the USB to computer.
Once you see the white Samsung logo flash, release the power.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
Not at all unfortunately. I've tried the Vol +/- & power key presses but the phone will just vibrate in 1-2 second intervals until I release. Nothing else.
Once the phone attempts to boot...then freezes, my PC will detect it in Odin (w/ COM 3)
You got to time it right. Let go of power then wait 10 seconds and let go of everything.
This is necessary

There isn't really a "best" ROM. But cyanogen mod is a great start, I used their new installer and its works. Don't worry when its says that the device is a Galaxy S 2, its a little bug, but you still get cyanogen mod for the Blaze. If your friend likes cyanogen mod and wants more customisability, he should try the other ROM on the forum. I hope that helped!

They are all great. PAC and carbon have the most features.
I'd recommend for you to stay away from 4.4 for the time being.
