Fast reboots, tmobile jingle, then phone starts to lockscreen - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

The title of this thread is what keeps happening to me at least once after I flash an update or a theme on my phone. Its been happening since I've used the icbinb ki series. It usually will happen once or twice after a titanium backup restore. Or turning on the phone after calibrating the battery. Someone please give me some feedback. No i'm not a noob as you can see been here for a long while, I read and follow directions to the t. So I'm very confused with this! It happens when I'm on uv stock kernel default settings or oc.

Your framework is crashing. That's what's causing the soft reboot. Usually due to a theme not meant for the build you are using.

I only use themes labeled for the rom i'm on. it happens after fresh ROM fashes as well... I read somewhere about soft bootloaders for 2.3.5. Are they different than the 2.3.4 bootloaders from kg4? I'm thinking this must have something to do with it. It started happening after first flashing 2.3.5. I haven't odined of the releases.

I used to get issues similar to that when my ext 4 partition was incorrect. Maybe look there.

I never considered that, thanks. I'll give the ext4 converter a flash and see.

Samsung Start Up Glitch

I have the infused rom on my device and the overclock.I was just wondering if there is any way to remedy the small glitch at the boot of the samsung logo.I remember having the same problem when I jail broke my iphone.sorry I am a newbie to this so any tips are helpful.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Err... What's the glitch? Is the phone catching on fire?
U mean ur phone is stuck and not getting past the logo screen?
No it's just a small flash in the screen when starting up the phone like noise on a tv.it's just for a second.

It's the OC kernel. I've had the same thing when I used it. I dont think its harmful, but it is annoying if your a perfectionist
It really is...how exactly do you revert to the stock kernel? If you can't is there a download for it? I wonder if there is a fix for that glitch?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
mine does the same thing., i noticed though after flashing back to stock it would still happen from time to time. I'm trying really hard to remember if it ever did that before i started changing things on the phone (which was day 1 hahah)
It never did that before I started flashing things.I just don't know if it's my kernel our rom but I'm leaning towards kernel now

Infused rom uses V7 of the Community Kernel which you can find in the Dev Forum.
Should I maybe try to reflash the kernel?

If you dont want that glitchy flash of pixels on boot, then use another kernel other than the OC kernel here.
Is defuse probably the best alternative?

Defuse is a great kernel especially for battery
Big dog Infuse I997 running Infused 1.5, Defused 1.4
I had this happen to me one time when I was on 1.5.1, or 1.5.. I don't remember. I had problems with it, so I flashed back to Gtg's kernel. I'm also running infused rom. Hi recently went back to the latest OC kernel. It's posted in one of the more recent pages. It's basically 1.5.1 before speedmod was added. I no longer notice the tv snow, but like I said it only happened once. Since then I've been looking for it.

Use the huge knowledge base xda forums provide! It's not too complex how overclocking works. I think you are too lazy to get on it.
I don't want to be mean, but if you think that's hard to handle with than I recommend to let your hands away from this kind of stuff.

I think those are as simple as the guides get to flashing and overclocking. If they're too complicated, then maybe you should consider not making any mods to your phone until you've read enough and feel confident.
The thing is, on tegrak overclock, when i change the level 0 to 1500/1400/1175, it closes and says testing stability. Then when i open tegrak again, nothing changes...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
You shouldn't really be making the jump from 1000 to 1500 right away as it is. Should be easing your way up. However as long as the phone vibrates and it says checking stability, then it's working.
I definitely agree with FBis251 here. You really don't need anything to be OC'd on this phone. If you don't understand how to OC, you should probably avoid it. However, If you're THAT eager to OC, just gradually bump up the GHz to whichever amount you want.
As for CWM, you'll definitely have to learn how to use it. Here's as simple as it can be said. I'm assuming you know how to get CWM properly, since your OP asks about CWM flashing.
1) Put the ROM you wish to flash in your SD card
2) Boot into CWM
3) Check mounts (UMMU) if you're on orange CWM; you don't need to check it if you're on red CWM
4) Select the ROM you wish to flash
Remember that not all ROMs have the same flashing instructions. While it's okay to be a slow learner, it's not okay to not read carefully here. Please read carefully and try not to clutter the forum with "OMG, I BRICKED" threads. There seems to be more and more these days.
Honestly, if you have trouble understanding these guides, you might want to just stick with whatever you have. Flashing is usually more difficult than just what I mentioned up there. Btw, if you didn't understand how to use CWM, how did you even get KH2 Deodexed?
Sorry if this post made me sound mean, but I just wanted to make it clear for you.
Im on Kf2. not kh2. ahahhaha. And that one was via odin. I wanna learn how to cwm flash so i can use the kh1 or 2. . thanks for the posts guys. Although i dont get it, im constantly reading it over and over again ahahaha.

As far as I remember, and I may be wrong at this point, but you can't use flash Bali 3.3 on KH1 or KH2. If you want to flash to KH1 or KH2, then I'd suggest following the steps in this thread.

CM9 issues. Reverted to CM7!

I just recently installed CM9 with faux's kernel and it was overly buggy! It froze, apps constantly crashed, the screen would turn black if I turned the phone horizontal. For you slow folk, that's sideways.
Within 10 minutes of using CM9, I decided I was reverting to CM7! So, I booted into CWM and wiped everything; Dalvik, battery stats, cache, and did a full wipe. I reinstalled everything pertaining to CM7 and "tried" to restore. This is where I encountered a strange issue! When the restore got to the point of retiring data, it started to display 1 byte hex for awhile. The process took 3 times the norm. It then produced an error while trying to restore .Android.secure. I eventually fixed but has to delete all my backups since they all became "corrupted", if that's what you wanna call it. Thoughts?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Your poor experience on CM9 was probably because of a bad flash or bad wipe. Did you use the nullifier? I suggest you try the Hellfire Sandiwch, while it isn't perfect, it comes close to it.
The correct terminology is landscape by the way.
Try eb aosp. Its a great rom.

I don't think you should be flashing.
Can't tell if it's a troll or not.
ICS is not ready yet and most likely will not be until we get some sort of leak on ICS drivers. So if your phone is daily driver and you need it for work, CM7.2 is the only way to go, it also has much more features, more stable, and faster.
No, not trolling. I actually "assumed" that derkernel was G2X specific. Sometimes I don't look into stuff as much as I should! I've been busy all day on top of it. I'm replacing my head gasket on my truck so I guess I didn't think much of it at the time. But I don't see it as a stupid move! I mean there are so many different kernels out there, I just assumed it was just another name for the G2x kernel....Tuna. its running smooth tho. With the exception of the video camera and not being able to view recorded video.
Thanks buru I'll check out the bionix kernel too.

Phone reboots/hangs on splash screen

I really would appreciate some input on this.. I was on NexusMod ICS for about two days before I woke up one morning to find that my phone had rebooted and was stuck at the splash screen. I tried pulling the battery and powering it on but got the same result, so I tried to get into CWM and couldn't. It would boot to recovery but not long enough to actually do anything, so I ODIN'd stock rom and CWM then flashed AOKP build 38 instead of NexusMod. Everything was fine for a few days but this morning I woke up to my phone stuck on the splash screen again, only this time when I pulled the battery and powered it on, it booted up fine, but my wallpaper had changed (weird).. So I really don't have a clue why this would happen, but I'd appreciate some help, and TIA!

[Q] ROM Manager

So I've been trying to find why ROM manager should not be used with this device and I just see that I shouldn't. I came from a MyTouch 4G where that or 4EXT were standard.
What symptoms does ROM manager cause?
I've noticed that any ROM I try to flash that doesn't use aroma installer fails at checking the update package. Is this one and how do I avoid it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium HD app
Rom manager does not support our device so any recovery you flash is going to result in a bricked phone. It's just that simple. Even after installing the correct custom recovery, stay away from it because you won't find any compatible roms either. Not to mention that in order to flash a rom with rom mangler you first have to flash a recovery so it knows which roms to look for.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have ROM manager on my phone already. Hasn't seemed to brick it yet. I just can't flash ROMs through it unless they are packaged with aroma. But wiping works fine.

I'm more than prepared to fix a brick.
It flashes through the market app fine using the i9000(?) option. I can then reboot into recovery fine and flash/wipe/mount just fine. Though the model mismatch might also be causing the issue where I can't flash anything not packaged with aroma.

Your lucky flashing that recovery should have soft bricked your phone. This is not the i9000. That's the galaxy s international version of the phone. Then there's the t959 vibrant. And the t959w for wind Mobile. Which are all slightly different. Like i said really lucky. Sooner or later it's likely to burn you.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I know this isn't the I9000. Perhaps I should consider dusting off my coding knowledge and make a compatible recovery.
