you have to flash gaaps for getting market , lol u cant do master reset cuz u flashed a recovery , from recovery use wipe data and it will master reset all apps,
or from privacy settings in phone.

Pls provide more details.
- rom installed
- custom recovery
- did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
- what do you mean by cannot access "android system"

Wrong Thread title here.
a bricked phone means, you cant boot into android nor to recovery mode - mostly you
have a black screen (realy black, not only dark) or a yellow "Emergency Mode".
In the Yellow mode you can flash a kdz and all is fine, in the black screen the device
is possibly realy bricked if you cant do anything.

if u can boot your phone and go to rom your phone is not bricked, bricking of a phone only happens if u cannot go pass through lg logo or your phone does not boot up, go to general thread here and u will find all your answers and even many more thing u will know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152306
i suggest u read it, hope i helped
also before posting u should give more details like which rom u flashed, recovery, kernel etc...

Thans for the feedback, I'm gping try that out and post the outcome

hi, i have i9020 rooted nexus s..
this is what i did before i stuck on google logo..
1. nandroid backup brainmaster MIUI
2. wipe all (data,cache,dalvik)
3. nandroid restore superOSR
4. reboot.
kaboom... i'm stucked at google logo.. strange enough, i can still access recovery from google logo using the usual way..
i've tried all method i thought should be working
- i've tried re-wipe all, fresh flash ROM
- i've tried another nandroid backup
- i've tried odin, strangely odin won't recognize my device even in download mode (yes i have google usb driver, that's why i can root my phone =o..)
- i'm using TWRP recovery when this happened, tried change back to CWM recovery and reflash ROM from there but no luck..
basically i've tried all ways i could think off but i still stuck on google logo.. it's blinking google logo. when it blinking, there's something like a plain background...
edit..
i've manage to use odin after a few extra troubleshooting on my pc..
let's see if it fix my problem...
edit : it fixed.. so, show is over.. please don't waste ur time in this thread.. i was almost given up when i create this thread but hey it works

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Y Need help!

Hello. I recently tried to install the ICS Rom, but was unsuccesful. I had the Clockworld Recovery app, and did a back up of my original ROM.
I tried to update to the new ROM, but did not do a data wipe. I didnt know if it would wipe all my data, which I needed. I DID do a dalvik cache wipe...
I tried to boot into recovery, but it was no use. I cannot download any software on my computer, so no programs will work.
I need the phone ASAP. It gets stuck on the boot up. It displays the Samsung Galaxy Y screen, plays a different type of music from the original, and gets stuck on the black screen.
Please help! I am new and only a 13 year old! I need my phone for emergency uses! And soon! NEED SUPPORT NOW!:​crying:
Did I brick my phone? Softbrick? Should I bring it to the tech? Please HELP!

If there is any response lights or anything, it is possible to recover it. But you need a computer unfortunately. Don't go around saying cause your 13 is an excuse for not being able to do this. I'm 13. Anyway try as hard as you can and download Odin for your device and I don't know exact details cause your phone is different from mine, but Odin it to stock. Try asking around your device forums and find a guide in the development forum.

Hello XDA-community,

then i decieded to flash a new kernel.
Once done, i rebooted my phone.
The screen turns on, but stays all black,
I cant boot into recovery (volume up + power)
If let the phone on for 10 mins to see if it boots up, but nothing, i tried to dial my number on a other phone but got me straight to voicemail.
If i put the phone on the charger the screen turns on, But stays all black too.
I searched xda and other sites but could not find a solution, help appreciated.
What is your ROM and kernel combo? Do you have any other kernels you can flash? Did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed that kernel?

I cant flash anything thats the problem,
i had cm9.1 on it : downloaded from cyanomod website.
Android started up, everything was working, but i wanted to flash a other kernel: TNS132-JB-ALPHA12 found on ( i cant post links becouse i am a new user)
got a new problem: screen wont turn on at all only when i put the phone on the charger it turns on, but all i see is a black screen.
I have not made a backup whatsoever, i even didnt clear cache when installing new kernel.
I know i am a totally noob, its becouse i have owned a hd2 and i could do anything with that device wich was unbrickable.
the first mistake was not reading here for 4 or 5 days
prior to jacking your phone up
since you probably need your phone befor that...
pull the battery
put it back
hold vol. up and hit the power button
boot to recovery
reflash the rom you had working
now
rectify the first mistake...
By the looks of it you've flashed a Jellybean kernel on an ICS ROM.

You need to use adb to push an ICS compatible kernel on to your phone, then flash it. Like someone said earlier, your kernel is meant for jellybean (android 4.1), and your ROM is based off of ice cream sandwich (android 4.0). If you've never used adb, look up a guide here in the nexus s forums on xda, I'd link you but I'm on the mobile app so I cant.

[Q] Phone stucks at starting, recovery problem

Hi there all xda developers
1 year ago i bought a new phone from ebay out of china, i buyed it there because it was a littlebit cheaper. Only problem some firmware is in chineese
When i removed the android email program, my phone didn't want to start anymore up.. it just stays restarting.
After hours of googling i needed to bootunlock my phone.. Didn't want to work.. stucked hours on that because it was already boot unlocked.
Proberbly illigal software or something..
Now its boot-unlocked and my phone is S-On
I would like to install new firmware/software that working right because my google play was also always getting error's
So i can't start my phone up..
I can get in fastboot screen
My recovery doesn't work, it stays stucked in my HTC whitescreen
Also factory reset doesn't work, stays also stucked at whitescreen.
Can any xda-developer help me with this problem and leading me to a way so i can install correct software?
I search for hours at forums and google, but i can't get out of it
I hope you guys can help me as soon as possible because i can't make any calls now.

Did you flash any recovery like CWM or TWRP using adb fastboot etc. via your PC? Or did you try to flash any stock or custom rom??

No i didn't use CWM or TWRP. When i use command fastboot i can see my device but when i use ADB he can't find it. I will try the clockwork mod recovery, you will hear from me if that works.
<----some time later----->
Okey nice i downloaded a recovery and used the command fastboot flash to get the recovery to it.
now i have a english recovery mode on.
Does anyone has good firmware/software that i can install from my sd so my phone is working good again?
Thanks so much,

I installed windows 7 on my phone. But the only problem i stays rebooting.
I formatted /boot and /factorysettting and now it is directly going to fastboot menu.
I searched for a boot.img but i couldn't find it. Does anyone has a link to a bootimage so i can fastboot that and that my phone is booting correctly?
Thanks much for help!
I really don't get what you have done, just try reflashing the rom if it goes to recovery, if not just install recovery again. Try to explayne it with a bit more details.
And just a tiny question, what did you installed?

Greetings all,
I don't see any place to add a question, so I'm asking it here. If this is incorrect, someone please direct me to where it should go.
I have a Huawei M881.Android 4.04.
I used Kingo root to root it, with no problem.
My issue is, how do I get rid of apps I don't need? Should I get a new ROM?
Again, my apologies if this post is in the wrong place, but I can't find where to post a question.
Many thanks, all.
I think titanium backup can remove bloatwares. I never use it though. I used clean master to remove mine. Both apps required root permission to do it. I used a paid app before but i forgot the name.
