Boot loop fix 2.3.4 ssgs 4g - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Ok i finally figured out i recently boot looped my phone was trippin out because i couldnt get my phone to boot up it was stuck in boot loop and it kept saying invalid arguement.i didnt want to send my phone through warranty in fear that they would deny it out of desperation i tried again to down load the firmware and this is what i did after days of disspair. What you need to do is this…….1) put your phone in download mode this works with phones that are not hard bricked only those in boot loop ……2) erase all files you previously downloaded,even delete them from your recycle bin so there are no confusions with any files downloaded from your pc……3) download from androidadvices.com the 2.3.3 firmware upgrade and all of its files . Send files to your desktop then enter androidadvices.com when you open the file so that you may extract files, then upload all files as they show you on the 2.3.3 firmware instructions…..4)..... ( pay close attn to this step).....!!!after you load the firmware odin should fail in resetting your phone but what this does is enter the file necessary to reboot your phone accordingly,this gets rid of your boot loop !!!…..5) now enter a desired firmware from android advices.com i used the stable 2.3.4 firmware download to put into my phone installed it and got my phone to reset appropriately and now i have my phone back this should also work for you all boot loop stuck galaxy s 4 g phones by t mobile . i hope this works for all of you with the problem.i was scared worried and concerned but hey curiosity killed the cat, and can also put a cheshire smile on its face good luck

there is no need for Odin any longer once you have drhonks GB kernel because recovery is built in so bootlooped or soft bricked you can just go into cwm and reflash from there

Unless ofcourse, you flash a bad kernel.

Are you sure about this?
I just bootlooped my phone trying to flash icbinb, so I gave up and tried to go back to Valhalla 1.1. But then that bootlooped as well, leaving me no choice but to start from scratch and odin the leaked KG4.

I've been wondering about that because I have never seen an "update.zip" on my sdcard. What is the update.zip that it expects?
I actually hit that option by mistake trying to flash a rom, but of course it said file not found.

YOU DO NOT FLASH UPDATE.ZIP.
YOU DO NOT FLASH UPDATE.ZIP.

yes im sure about this, if you have drhonks GB kernel there is no need for ODIN unless you hard brick or go back to froyo and EVEN then you probably dont need ODIN
ever since drhonks gb kernel i havent touched ODIN since
just sayin...

Reboot into recovery and install a different rom.
I had this exact same thing on my daughter's Sidekick, where a custom kernel didn't want to boot the phone up.
I tried restoring the backup I had made; nothing. I factory reseted it; nothing.
Loaded up another rom (last ditch effort), and BAM, it went through.
So try rebooting into recovery and load another rom.

[HELP] problems with cwm and roms

Hi!I just can figure whats wrong with the phone.I am very sorry to have to post this but this is what i have done until now:
-it was original t-mobile sgs4g soft 2.3.6
1. i downgraded to froyo
2. tried to apply the froyo cwm recovery
3. didnt worked (dunno why)
4. installed another version with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193751 the cwm worked but it kept having cant mount sd card
5. installed the new cwm with kernel ..didnt worked same thing
6.installled again the froyo with odin
7. finnaly worked installed the octane
8. octane froze at sgs4g screen ,not boot animation , kept reseting
9. 3 flashes and froyo and bla bla after i installed the black valhalla
10. valhalla works but i cant recieve calls sms or mms...
11. Need help!
Don't flash GB stuff on froyo boot loaders. Don't flash froyo stuff on GB boot loaders. If don't know how to repartition with a pit don't flash boot loaders as boot loader flashes may hard brick your device. If your unsure about what your flashing matching your boot loaders don't flash it. Finally all your mixing and matching incorrectly probably got you some weird gremlins so learn how to"one click" back to stock (I wrote a noob guide in general section) and start over. This will ensure GB boot loaders are flashed correctly good luck

I agree one click is probably your best bet. I do however wonder if you somehow managed to wipe your imei? Check to make sure.
ok so i downloaded the T959V-UVKJ6-One-Click tommorow i will do it bcoz its not my phone...question how do i install custom recovery to install the Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ EDITION
and will i get rid of the call and sms not being recieved?

If you get the "kj6 beta 2d" package it includes a custom kernel with cwm recovery

sorry forgot to mention this i can make calls or send txt and i remember it having an imei as i scrolled down in about phone> status
I was having some problems with little things in octane also, but what fixed mine was wiping the cache, dalvik cache, flashing, ( mounts UMMU), reboot, check functionality, reboot into cwm, fix permissions, reboot, enjoy.

[Q] I am stuck in a CWM boot loop.

Hello all, I need your help. Today I flashed a zip on a whim, and it has ruined my whole day.
I have managed to get back to CWM v2.5.1.3 RED, and can flash zips and clear cashes, all that. But when I reboot, it brings me right back to CWM. Any help for me? I am lost.
Thanks in advanced,
Nate
P.S. I am not afraid of the command line.
Try odin?
I have tried GTG Unbrick. That's how I've gotten as far as I have.
How long does it usually take? I'm staring at the Odin screen for about 5mins now and it still says "Set Partition" and "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"
Alright, FIXED, I just needed to keep retrying. It took like 5 attempts to get it going right.

i have the same problem as well..
IF I were to guess what i did wrong it would be.. when i tinkered with the partitions
I tried Odin, Heimdall, and GTG unbrick link is not available anymore..

Are you able to get the phone to go into download mode?
Does Odin reboot your phone when it is finished? It should. If not, tell us what it says on the last line in Odin.

[Q] t mobile LG G2x wont reboot back after installing a kernal

Hey guys i recently rooted my phone and i downloaded setcpu but my lg g2x doesnt have the goveners to support the app so it told me to download a kernal that supports the app i did and i installed it sucesfully in recovery mode but when it prompt me to reboot i did and the phone didnt reboot sucesfully it got stuck in the LG screen when u reboot and its doesnt go any further i tried already installing the apx and nv flasher clockwork mod and it does nothing but the same thing just the LG screen with the blue ora around it........... can somebody please help me restore my phone back ordd have a sucessful boot at least for it to turn on again...... please help i would realy appricate it guys have a good day...
My LG G2x currently is running the stock ROM, and stock kernal 2.6.32.9
You flashed a kernel which isn't compatible with stock. I believe Morfic has a stock-based kerenel. Other than that, there are a couple of threads with rooted stock OS nandroids, grab one of those and do an advanced restore and select ONLY to restore boot. Make sure to get the same version nandroid as is Tue OS on the phone.
