[Q] Wich SBF can i flash.. everything fails

i had some issues with flashing my Defy..
i started with Pays-Rom, wich was working quite wel for some time and but got a little slow and i wanted to upgrade to CM7.
then it al went wrong, i don't know what i did, but i didn't get anything but black screen and white led.
so i tried the JORDN_U3_97.21.51. and it worked
from there i couldn't flash anything... and i tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=143
this worked.. and i even got CM7 to run, and MUI aswell
but... lots of force closes and it didn't run so stable..
then i installed like 3 programs, and i got a memory full warning.
then i noticed i only had 128mb internal memory.
and every other SBF i tried to flash i just get a black screen and that white led again..
so does anyone know which SBF would work? or what i can do??
i olso read this thread.. to i know i'm not the only one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1162464

make shure u have the latest drivers instaled on your comp, i ues rsd lite 4.9 coz the newer versions fail to flash
do a stock recovery wipe (hold vol down and power, then when the little android guy apears with the exclamation mark hold both the vol up and down at the same time) chose wipe data/cache and select with power
now go to stock bootloader (vol up+power) connect to the pc with the usb cable (make shure u have at least 30%+ of the battery)
flash 2.2.2 cee from here
it should work...i hade it in soft brik myself and that worked

nice,
gonna try it tomorrow!
and if it's not working.. i'll just bring it back to the shop with the black screen and see what they do about it

nope... full sbf not flashing, again just the black screen and white led..
trying somethinge else now..
but i think i'm just gonna give it back to the shop..
or does someone else know something else i can try?

Make sure RDSlite flash with no error prompting, otherwise you might need to flash it on another PC. And you would need to clear data/cache after the full flash too.

I'd also like to know whats up with the low internal memory? I have this issue also.

You may try flash the full sbf, with linux, is better, is easy, and very friendly. I tried it using a VM with VMWare and works nice.

hi
i have the same problem with my defy,it happend after i flashed the "[FLASH_SBF] 2.3.4 для Defy - 134 "
then i flash the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 and the miui rom ,it succeded but the internal memory of my device is 129 mb instead of 1.12 gb

Disclaimer: Searching for this brings up far too many results to be useful.
Just attempted a Root of 3.2 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
I'd post this there, but don't have access rights.
Anyways, process went well, rebooted, but once the initial splash screen has cleared, this happens:

I've tried using the same tool to restore to stock, but nothing doing at the moment. Help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Annnnnd I've fixed it. This is why I never post. Carry on.

How did you fix it? I ended up bootlooping after flashing the WW HC3.2 boot image. I assume you also flashed the WW version?
Greetz,
speedstra

i had the same thing happening to mine when i first rooted to 1.4 prime. however now ive upgraded the rom to 1.6 and so far no artifacts

I had the same problem. I found it was able to fix it by downloading the latest version of the batch script root method zip file and using it to flash my tablet. You need to MAKE SURE you are using the latest version v5 beta5 because the older version had a problem flashing HC3.2 and gave me that error.
here's the link to the forum entry

I had actually attempted to flash the 3.1 image instead of the 3.2 image. Thus the reason for edit on the original post.
The latest version of the tool should restore it.

Please stop using the incorrect term for 'brick.' IT IS NOT A BRICK when your device turns on. Just stop, please.

Just had this same issue, got the same screen - blood pressure went through the roof, had to go water the plants to calm down
I was following this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14760983#post14760983
My mistake was not replacing the boot.img in the root folder with the newer 8659 .img file (linked at the top of the post, but not called out in the otherwise very detailed instructions).
HOWEVER: I did have an issue in that after flashing the wrong .img and getting the "oh sh!t" screen, I could not get adb to list a connected device, which kind of threw me. I could get it into APX mode by holding down the vol-up and power keys (and paying close attention to the "usb connected" notification sound - hold them down for about 10 seconds, hear the "disconnected" sound, then almost immediately hear the "connected" sound and let them go. The screen should stay dark instead of going to the boot logo) and I could see the driver being used, but "adb devices" returned nothing.
So I just ran root.bat again, as I had nothing to lose - and BOOM! Success!
Followed the rest of the procedure with no issues. Hope this helps someone!
Cheers

If in case this does not work for you than and you are still luck enough to go into CWM than do factory reset and flash any stock rom. And do all this steps again.
Ok so after getting into Download Mode.
-Go ahead and Go to Odin (Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options).
--In Odin check PDA and find the recovery.tar file that you downloaded.
Now Press Start (Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.)
When you are done Your screen will look like one below.
It should now reboot to recovery and delete cache and data. Then, it will boot.

Heimdall One-Click Defuse. The easiest way to get CWM installed so you can flash ROMs

introduction
Hey guys, I was trying to figure out how to root my device so I could install CWM, so I could install jellybean or something... I totally forgot I made a one-click CWM installer.
Here is a one-click for the Defuse1.5 kernel by LinuxBozo with CWM installed. It's old, but it's a good launchpad for a stock device.
This works on Windows, Linux and Mac and Windows and Linux. Make sure you follow the in-app directions if you've never used Heimdall.
Instructions
1. reboot into Download Mode
2. click the flash button in this app
3. if any problems, repeat with flash bootloaders option checked
4. reboot into recovery
5. flash rom
6. advanced>reboot recovery you will now see a blue recovery instead of orange.
7. flash rom again

Usually i show it with the Green Connected icon at the bottom, but I decided to release this as an afterthought. Sorry.

Quick question, Adam.
In step three, you had wrote, "repeat with flash bootloaders option checked."
Does this package contain GB bootloaders, being a 2.2.1 kernel?
If someone came directly from 2.2.1 and had never had a previous GB bootloader, will they see the distorted rainbow recovery?
I was not sure if this package had bootloaders.
Thanks.

Thanks, but when click on the download link I just get a page that says welcome to nginx...

[Q] Bricked SGS4G

Hi, i got this Samsung G S 4g. I was supposed to fix the rom (somewhat unstable thing). I will try to write all the things i have done until now. I got the "phone to pc" icon. I cannot boot or use download mode (the triangule thing)
General Info
Device is rooted. T-mobile branded, carrier-locked.
Froyo rom. (i think is stock but rooted).
Somewhat old device.
Had stock recovery (Android recovery e3 o something like that)
SGH-T959V (KB5)
Things i did
1. Pull some files from device, to sim-unlock. (using ADB) DID not modify anything else
2. SIM-Unlock using code (worked)
Then, device worked ok some weeks... then stopped working, contacts and phone apps crashed suddenly, everytime i open them
4. Use lastest Heimdall and this guide to get CWM on the phone. The idea was to flash the kernel. did not work. Check the part called "How To Flash a Kernel with Heimdall".
I did that. NOTE: used this kernel insted of the "old" one that the guide says.
Then it output this error: "libusb error: -12". So Heimdall didn't detect the device so i used zadig.exe after reinstalling the samsung drivers to avoid this issue. Then, it started working, and output something like this: "failed sending file part packet heimdall"
And now i have this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

What you have is an alternate form of DL mode that occurs after a failed flash. Read this to get back up and running.
Lumins Guide

Or just reboot the phone, it should go to a disturbing looking tiny-phone mode. Then just resend your heimdall command and it should happily work.

Major kudos to diego930 for such a nicely detailed description of his problem!

Yes... my computer didn't feel like showing the tiny disturbing phone this morning, else I could have skipped the suggestion to reboot.
That just means that the safeties are off and your phone is ready and waiting to get flashed. You're close... and probably got fixed, based on the thanks provided.

Thanks I like making myself very clear (and i know how annoying is the lack of info)
I haven't touch the device since i broke it so i'm going to try that guide and post any news. Thanks all!

When you get that phone to pc icon, just use Heimdall to flash again.
The reboot-step is from official-download mode where it has the big yellow caution taking you to panic-download mode where it has the tiny phone you posted in #1. Once you have panic-download mode, your phone is ready to accept anything. Even whatever failed before.
Summary: Repeat OP Step 4.

ok, done. Fix using heimdall 1 click! I just reflash GB with kernels and bootloaders, now it works flawless.
Thanks Theraze.
