Phones been running fine. Have had it for a few months. It's been unlocked and had ROM mngr on it, but never installed any roms to it.
This past saturday while in NY, it was setting on a coffee table for most of the day. I picked it up from the table that night to head out to dinner, it was overly hot. the table is no where near sun or heat. i powered down the phone because the heat made it difficult to use. when i powered it back up, it didn't want to boot. I got the Google loading screen with the padlock, thats it. about 20 min later, it finally booted up and has run fine since then.
Until today. It didn't get hot, but it started running so slow, i couldn't do anything.
longer story short, it will not mount the sd card in recovery mode. I've tried taking this back to stock incase i had to take it into the sprint store. But when rebooting from the recovery mode, it won't always boot. i may have to pull the battery out upwards of 20 times and pwr it back on before it actually boots up and logs into the phone for use.
i was finally able to get the phone relocked. it has the stock rom on it, as it always had. but now i cannot get the stock radio because it refuses to mount the sd card. so in my apps drawer, there is the super user icon. i do not remember this coming with super user at all when i got it.
if the sd card fails to mount (can't even format it from the recovery menu due to not mounting) how can i flash the stock radio back so i can get this replaced?
im still trying to figure out what caused it to get so hot. again, nothing other then the stock rom was ever put on it. so there was no over clocking.
i can't afford a new phone, so i need to make sure that sprint store will swap this out with a new one and not give me the run around.
You should try flashing a kernel 1st
I had the same problem.
Even my screen would get: incredibly hot I flashed a kernel and was good to go
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
will that work with the sd card not mounting?
and i've searched here and google, all stock kernels are no longer available for download.
kernel sir flash a new one...and also try to flash a custom rom unlock the phone again and flash the CW using fastboot then from there flash a new rom

Hi, I used to think i was pretty smart when it came to technology but this stuff is a little different. I sell cell phones as a "living" if that's what you call it and I tell people don't root unless you know what you are doing. Well seems as though I ****ed up. I have the 1.5 hboot. I successfully rooted with the S-on. I saw on here about the flash image gui thing and decided to try it out instead of using the sdk manager that I had been using. The first thing that I flashed was the clockwork recovery. I downloaded it and put it on my sd card then went into the gui app and followed the directions. So far so good as of then. I then went and researched a little bit and found a kernel I liked and downloaded it and put it on my sd card then went into the gui program and flashed the kernel on. I should have done the Rom and Kernel at the same time but didn't realize that til it was too late. I downloaded (CDMA-AOSP-AnthraX-2.6.38.6-REV_005.zip) kernel btw. Everything went very well and flashed the kernel on and ran fine. I then found a rom that said was compatible and that I liked (infectedrom-eternity-evo3d-35-r117-signed-122611_174844) and used the gui also. It went through everything fine and then asked if I wanted to reboot. I said no because I know that I have to go back into recovery and finish it there. I went and powered down then held the vol down + power button. This is where I Have my problem. When it came on it went and read the sd card and the quick time that it stays on the screen it mentioned about missing PG86 and like 10 lines of things like PG86diag missing etc. My thought is to get a sd card reader and check out what exactly i have on the sd card and possible just add the PG86 info on it. But I am lost and without a phone that works. Some help would be great. I apologize for it being long but wanted to give all the details

I am not sure what happened but I went and downloaded the stock boot and went into the android sdk and got it to work. flashed everything in recovery mode but now it just sits at the beats audio screen
getting to be far too familiar a scenario lately....
lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..
ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.
i should add this phone is a replacement via insurance and that the entire time ive had it, i've been having this problem to varying degrees of intensity,.sometimes if i rebooted enough the ics boot animation would finally come up and freeze part way through, and in the first week with this phone is seemed fine. the first few times i rebooted and battery pulled until it started but this is the fourth time in two weeks ive found myself going back to repartition from odin and then back to ics.. the phone is only mine for a month,.
if nobody has any ideas ill be getting it replaced tomorrow in store. i have the no fee insurance replacement plan, but i would prefer not to have to use another as it's not under warranty and this would be my second replacement and this mes has to last me until the gnex hits uscc in hopefully april if it ever does because i'd rather switch to vzw than take any of usccs other offerings currently.. if they dont get the gnex it'll be time for me to move on...
anyway please advise.. thanks
You're asking this at the wrong forum dude. You wont get any support here. Everyone's moved to Rootzwiki
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15859-ics-b4-was-100-rebooted-and-bootloop-on-samsung-logo/
Yep but when fishing it helps to have multiple lines in the water...
Past experience
From what ive found out, once you have ICS flash on ur phone, ur not going to want to use the three finger salute. If you want to boot into recovery, only do it by rebooting into recovery through ics
So I just got my TF101 yesterday and the latest ICS update I applied. I've rooted and installed CWM. I'm assuming there's no way to get back to the factory version of Honeycomb I had, right? C10 s/n if it matters.
In less than 24hrs I've had about 6 reboots and had it completely shut off and took a good while to get powered back on even though it still had 41% on the battery left. I was pleased with the device at first but today my frustration has been through the roof.

What do you think is the purpose of CWM? Yes you can flash back to completely stock Honeycomb.
Mine is B70 with latest stock ICS from Asus + root + cwm. No reboot at all, other than the the ones I do myself.
Did this fix your reboot problems in the end?
can you Let us know What CWM you have
is it 5.5.0.x or 3.2.0.x
boot tablet
wait for it to be done loading
Plug USB in to Desktop
Browse to Tablet
now for 3.2.0.x
Save a copy of what ever CWM flashable Rom to your MicroSD CARD
For 5.5.0.X
Save it under internal memory
Then boot in to Recovery and install
guides to CWM are all over dig a little.
hope this helps
Greetings all.
I have two captivates, so I started screwing around with one of them.
I set the one I am talking about to encrypt, and it failed and never really encrypted.
Now, I went to clean the device and reload CM 10 on it, and now, I have a device with CWM only.
When I boot into CWM, with an SD card in it, I pick to load CM 10 on it, I get the following comment:
Signature Check: Enabled
Not sure what this means, the cappy is useless till I can get it loaded, thoughts?
So at this time, I have a captivate with ONLY CWM on it, (no ROM).
Anyone got any thoughts?

Flash KK4 stock with Odin (or Heimdall), flash corn kernel to get root with Odin 1.85 and finaly, reflash CM10.
Okay so i have TWRP 3.0.2.0 modded for multirom and multirom installed on my phone and it was working okay for a long time now all of a sudden my phone randomly reboots and ALL 7 roms in mutli rom boot loop when you try to boot them. so i erased all of them and reflashed the rom, the second i flash anything other than the rom, kernel,mods, stupid files, literally ANYTHING but the rom it bootloops again and it never did this before all of these files worked together before, so i rewrote the twrp and mutlirom and all, figuring maybe that would help, it did not. so i thought okay, fine i will do an RUU and go to stock. it says the firmware is mismatched? so because of S-ON i cant restore to stock now. ( same one ive been using to RUU it for over a year anytime necessary )
literally everything i try i just end up with Bootloops. if i flash ONLY the rom it boots fine but the kernels tend to kill the battery really bad so i usually flashed a custom one and i just dont understand how the same kernel and files ive been using for like the last 8 month now are bootlooping every time. i tried looking for new roms too, nothing works. i also tried plain stock TWRP and no mutlirom, same results, bootloops if anything more than the plain rom is flashed.
also my battery seems to be dying like a rock now, unplugged it and within like 10 min i had lost 18%

Try a different twrp version worked for me awhile ago when I had it
Thank you for the suggestion but as it says above i have tried that. this phone will not let me restore or use anything without google play now so im probably just going to get rid of it or smash it because ive been trying for weeks and NOTHING works.
only android 7+ roms boot, cant RUU, no home button menus, notifications or anything work without google installed so my phone has some weird new firmware on it and is forcing me to use the most up to date android/google play or it just wont work at all.
Update: charger port just quit working, probably burned up from getting so hot with all the battery over use, phone is officially dead now.
