i was hacking my inspire with Ace hack kit, and it somehow froze and wouldnt continue so i unplugged it and it seems like it got bricked or something idk ? like i turned it off took the battery out and back in and when it looks like its loading the screeen fades into a black screen .......... i tryed recovering, reseting and nothing. can any one please help me ? thanks
Grab a rooted STOCK ROM online and rename it to the PG98IMG.zip.
Reboot into bootloader and update the phone with that file.
You're phone should be back to normal. Happened to me once and that's what I had to do!
ps I attached the stock rooted gingerbread. Should do the trick bro
nooooooo. i really think my phone is F***ed up because when i turn it on it goes to a black screen, and doesnt load up
Can you get into hboot/bootloader? If so, you can recover it, following ladiesgod instructions. Youll just need to get the PG98 file onto your sd somehow....using a card reader plugged to pc or laptop or friends phone.

i did what you told me, im in bootloader but how do i load the ROM and install it?
I couldn't attach the file but google for "Stock GingerBread Rooted PD98IMG.zp". Download it. Rename it to "PD98IMG.zip" then place it on the root of your SD card. Go into HBoot. Your phone will scan your sd card then ask if you want to update it. Say yes!
Voila!
would you mind giving me a link for it? all it does is send me to some post here on XDA thanks, n btw i randomly tryed with a Custom ROm, it didnt work is it because of that?
Make sure it is named properly. Very important. I Dont know what the inspire is, ice seen both PG98 and PD98 typed here. I dunno cuz i have an evo. But as long as the file is named properly, hboot will detect it
Good luck
Edit: and MUST be on root of sd card, not in any folder.

Yeah, i Dont believe a custom rom will work because of something in the meta-inf folder, or having to do with updater script/binary. Will need a rooted stock ROM, renamed exactly right.

Trust me it is. There is a link in the first post that says in pd98img format. Which is what you need at this point.
My suggestion is to reformat the SD card fat32. Full format not quick.
Download the pd98 I linked and place on SD card(not in a folder)
Boot into hboot and install it

I think I know what message you're talking about. What you have to do is format your SD card.
I've gotten the same message before about a 'bad' image. Formatting my sd card and puttin the ROM on a clean card worked. Good luck!

Sorry guys if this was posted already. I had been searching for a way to unroot totally back to factory and the RUUs were giving me all sorts of errors... 171, 170 etc. So I finally found a way to actually make it work.
** If you are rooted and have the 1.47 update and cannot unroot with the RUU you were in my boat. Here's what I did:
1 - Download the ROOTED 1.32.651.1 from http ://geekfor.me/evo/rom/Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted .zip
(Remove the spaces from the url)
2 - Put that zip in the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery and flash it.
3 - Download the official 1.47 RUU and it should work on your device with no problems.
I am sorry if this guide was elsewhere but this is what I came up with on my own and I wanted to share it in case there wasn't a working unroot guide out.

They do not check for root and to be honest its perfectly LEGAL now to root a phone so no WORRYS leave it as is
thanks again for the really quick response.. I have a mircoUSB adaptor that i use, and my roomate has the same phone as me so i can get my battery charged.
i may just do as you say and go with the sprint stock rooted rom.. kuz this is proving to be more of a hassle than i thought it would be.

In the MOST EXTREME case but its highly doubtful and has been proven over and over.

hmm.. okay.. so that zip file that was there.. i already had, and i already tried flashing that.. and it didnt work last time, nor did it work this time
i have hboot 0.79.000
i have radio 1.39.00.05.31
and i flashed to a rooted 1.32 rom like it said i had to do.
Im using clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1
When i go to install zip from sd card>choose zip> and select the file attached, it just tries to open it and within a few miliseconds its back to the screen i was just at.
if i were to rename it to PC36IMG.zip and let bootloader load it, it will say 'wrong or no image'
I think im going to give up..

You arent nand unlocked just bring it back do a full system wipe
It also doesnt hurt to try again make sure that you download a fresh version of the file and wipe the sd card of any other files if possible if at least make sure there arent any other pcimg files there

anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you
You need to match the right kernel for the ROM your using, you can download and put it on your SD card boot into bootloader should be good to go. Worst case reflash ROM.

Go into bootloader (power off, then back on while holding volume down) Go into recovery, choose install from zip, then find the ROM on your SD card and flash.

Dont hook it to the pc. When the phone is off (hold volume down then hold the power button) it will boot into bootloader, volume down to recovery, hit power to select.

There was no reason for you to root without first reading everything. Also there was no reason to root if your not good with phones or computers....just sayin. Please search.
I got your 10 char right here
Wow man best advice is the one given above. I searched for weeks for all issues before I tempted to root. Then days for the issues on custom ROMs. As well as radios. I dont bother with anything else but those. I would say get the rooted ATT ROM (PD98IMG) file, pull battery out of phone then put back, then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power button at same time. If phone goes to bootloader it will recognize the PD98IMG zip and load it. it will ask if you want to install, just hit volume up for yes and it will do its thing. I couldn't find the page for the ROM so I loaded mine to megaupload it includes the radio -26.10.04.03_M. If you find it in Development Section dont forget to THANK the developer, I TAKE NO CREDIT FO IT. Just place zip file in root of phone micro sd card (not in a folder). (I always use the gold card I made to root the phone). You may have to take card out of phone and use adapter to place zip in itthen put back into phone. AS ALWAYS ON HERE FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
AGAIN AS ADVICED ABOVE " RESEARCH" before anything.

He is talking about the s-on stock method. And yes he could do this and then try the hack kit. Then boot into recovery and flash cm7. Maybe it was a bad flash. But yes he should search, for the above info, but remember this is q/a. We were all noobs, and still have lots to learn.

Okay so i am using a stock galaxy s 4g
i rooted it so that is done i changed my recover so i can get into cwm i got like version 3.something
i am trying to install valhalla black edition
i seen valhalla final says KJ6 kernal
so i am assuming i need to go into cwm and update file from sd card
so i do this but my phone wont mount my sd card
i even tired to update the file from the sd of the rom i downloaded
but when i went to mount my sd card it says cant mount error
when i seen the instructions its UMMU im assuming it means this
unmount
mount
mount
unmount
the last unmount is my system and it says i cant unmount that
what am i missing???
i need to get the kernal then the rom install can someone help i read the bible and all but it doesnt really cover this well not clearly anyways....
any am i right the kernal is flashed the same way as a rom?
what steps did you follow to get root & cwm installed? which version of android do you currently have installed?
Since you're using a stock sgs4g I'm gonna assume you're on froyo. You need to be on Gingerbread before you can flash a GB rom. If you were to flash a gb rom through cwm you wouldn't get the froyo bootloader which means you'd have a very unhappy phone. It would work in the sense that it would turn on and then do nothing.
If you follow my GB Starter Pack guide (there's a link in my signature) you'll get your phone ready for Valhala Black.
Remember to read all the instructions carefully once before you attempt anything, then re-read them following the steps.

Did you reformat the sd card for Fat 32? Odin can take awhile. If your phone is recognized, and you loaded the right files without changing anything, then you should be fine. Just don't worry, get a magazine, and do battery pulls when instructed.

say i wanted to start from step one all over again even though my phone is pretty much blank since it wont load up so i do a factory wipe or something? so nothing is left behind to ensure i get a good install?
i am pretty much willing to try anything just to even get my phone back
thank you for the replys i really appreciate it
P.S. i cant do a restore because i was running froyo and since i did the GB starter stuff it says md5 mismatch so thats out the question

thanx....
when i start my phone it stays on the first screen u see when u start ur stock phone
i did everything in the GB Starter pack up to the point where i load my own rom when it came to that i made sure all my mounting was right and stuff but no matter what it will not let me flash a rom
im running cwm voodoo lagfix recovery v3.0.2.8x
i did all the steps in the GB starter up til the rom like i said but I installed it twice
cause the first time it didnt work so i reinstalled in again no wipe or nothing basically it was having the error so i put it back in download and tried again
idk if that was bad since i know if i dont do a full wipe i can leave bad files idk
help i dont even care if u help me get back to stock 2.2 i just want my phone on
but i would really like to end my night with valhalla black edition
from the point im at now how i can i start all over again? factory wipe or what?

I was reading back through FB's GB Starter Pack to re-familiarize myself with it. As much as I hate to say it, I'd go back through it one more time from the beginning; don't skip any steps. That way you know you're getting a clean install all the way around.
Out of curiosity, does the phone boot up? If so, what does it say in Settings --> About Phone:
Firmware version
Baseband version
Kernel version
?

no it wont boot it just stays on the Galaxy S 4G EXCLUSIVELY FROM TMOBILE screen it just stays there
imma redo it but should i do a factory wipe or something to make sure i get all the bad stuff off? im more comfortable with odin now can u recommend a rom or something for me to flash back to to start over?
or should i just put it in download mode and take a crack at it again?

If it's sticking there, then there's a good chance you have either a Froyo ROM with GB boot loaders or vice versa. Yeah, if you can get into recovery do a factory reset then go back through the GB Starter Pack one more time. I'm sure you'll be successful. Just be patient as you go through the steps.

Yeah, you're boot looping. Are you sure you flashed the KJ6 files from FB's starter pack? It really sounds like the wrong boot loaders are in place.

Glad you got it working, at least for the most part. I've not messed with the Valhalla ROMs so I'm at a loss there. Best of luck
i got it working perfectly mms and everything thanks for all your help this rom is awesome
memory card
okay so i managed to install valhalla black edition got all the settings and widgets i needed to make this rom the ishhhhhhhhhhh
but when i used the USB mode as a mass storage to drag all my music basically the cord many have unplugged during the transfer now my sd card wont work
when i plug it into the computer without the phone it ask me to format the sd card
some apps dont work due to sd card not working anymore
when i tried to format it that didnt work it said i had 259GB on it and its only 8GB
i have a 16GB that came with the phone i was wondering how far back do it need to start over? i already have a KJ6 kernel but since the sd card is done with voodoo is gone as well
can i start with the second ODIN rom from the GB starter pack???????
instead of doing the whole thing all over again...

No, don't start over. Check Google for FAT32 repair tools. Then put the SD card in a reader connected to the PC & run the tool. It'll probably recover OK.
ok, so a few days ago i was flashing the G2x weapon rom onto my rooted G2x, but while i was in the clockwork mod to flash it it froze on me, i left it like that for an hour or so, but it didnt work, so i took the battery out. now whenever i turn it on, it loads the LG screen, then nothing, the screen stays turned on, but its black, ive tried to boot it into recovery mode but that does not work either. What should i do?
Did you do One-Click NVFlash>? if u used Rom Manager you probably fake flashed and thats why its not working for you. You should use NVflash followt he steps and boot up into recover and restore a back up. GOod Luck
thanks ill try that

+1
Also try holding the vol down+pwr for longer than usual might just be being difficult
Making bad decision's one at a time.
so when i get into nvflash it says usb not found,
i did all the steps, and had it all done, but it dosent find my phone
Did u install the drivers correctly? That's probably the problem if it says USB is not found. I believe there is a video about how to install the drivers. Ill look for the video now

I used Linux to nvflash mine so I haven't used this method but I'm sure a lot of other people have.

This was written for Windows users, I followed this one myself, pretty straight-forward, and "idiot proof". (If anything can be truly idiot proof. Cynical, who, me?)
so, ive flashed my phone through nvflash and i got clockwork mod up and running, but whenever i select the file to flash that is on my SD card, it says no files found. i even tried going to my backup on the clockwork file, and nothing.

Since changing to Nvflash, did you download the rom you want to install and transfer it to the phone from your computer. Using Rom Manager it may not have left a copy on your phone.
If you cant hook up the SD card to the computer, get an external SD card and make sure u've installed clockwordmod with external sd, hook it up to a laptop with an SD card slot, and put it in , then take the mini sd and pop it in your phone, then boot up and that should do it good luck! atleast now your 1 step closer to recovering your phone
Ughh hate,seeing this happen...hope u flashed nV..all the best

Hope you didn't brick your phone.
No you did not brick your phone. Rom manager downloads the file to sdcard/clockworkmod/downloads. Look there for the file. Only if you download a rom from your browser does it go to externalsdcard/downloads
