[Q] New to XDA, Samsung Vibrant SOC Root Oops?? - General Questions and Answers

Hello! Im new here and looking for some help... "Rooted" the T-Mobile USA Samsung Vibrant last night... Used SuperOneClick v2.3.2.0 -- the latest version... It gets to a point where the phone is rooted, Superuser access, I have Super Manager installed, the File Manager is rooted w/ R/W, Busybox is installed and now, per the tutorial here, step 4-5 says to "Shell Root" and wait for hte prompt to reboot the phone... I get to SuperOneClick and hit the button but it times out - the program (SoC) goes to (Not Responding) in Windows 7x64 and has to be shut down... it does this after it says rooting step #2... changing method or what have you. Now, ONE TIME and one time only it made it all the way on teh shell root to step #7 but still froze up... Happens with either the SD card mounted or unmounted, after reboots of the phone, etc etc... Nothing I seem to do works. The phone is stock Android 2.2 FROYO.UVKB5 and now Im stuck w/ a phone that is rooted, hooray, but wont "un-root" and wont proceed with my goal of wiping and installing CyanogenMod 7... Help anyone??

PLEASE HELP, rooted optimus one p500 doesn't boot up! :'(

Ok, I am new to this so excuse me for any stupid mistakes, please.
So, last night I rooted my optimus one (p500) using z4root. Everything went fine, I got myself a rooted phone and I started messing around. I had no problems till I installed Rom Manager today. It asked me to install ClockWork Mod (something like this), I couldn't find my phone but I selected "Dell Streak" anyway! (I know, it's stupid!)
So, my phone restarts, LG logo comes up and goes and now I'm stuck on a screen that says:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
That's it, nothing else, am not able to do anything. What to do now? I've been searching the net for ages now but no help. Please, I need some help. I can't even get a new phone because I'm 15 and my parents won't buy me one! Please, help!!
well, I took it to the LG Service Center and they are gonna replace my phone!! yeii!
Same problem here.
What did you tell the service centre guys?
Did they buy it? Didn't they ask if you'd rooted/messed the phone?
sorry to resurrect an old thread...anyone else experiences this fastboot mode. easy fix. open androidsdk manager and a cmd prompt with admin escalation, then change the prompt to the sdk installed platform-tools directory and run ../tools/fastboot.exe reboot or reboot-bootloader. one of those commands rebooted my phone properly and up to its flaked out rom. which i proceeded to remove and today updated to the latest official stock 2.3.3 for my optimus one.

HTC Magic failed to upgrade to 2.1 , doesn't boot.

Hello to all, this is my first post.
I'm quite desperate here.
I do common pc/iphone service.
A client brought to me an HTC Magic on which he had tried to upgrade to 2.1 without success, being able to boot only in recovery mode (pressing Home while booting).
Being a total noob on android stuff (I'm an iPhone expert/developer) I figured I should follow some process to restore the phone to factory , android 1.6 condition, and then try the known tools to root it / update to 2.1 from what I could find by googling.
So I installed the android sdk on my PC, and followed the google-io-device guide to try to restore to 1.6.
Right after I installed the radio update, the phone doesn't boot, it gets stuck on the 3-android-robots-on-skateboards screen (I guess its the boot logo) and the recovery method doesn't work.
So I'm asking for your expertise here.
Is there any simple (or simply followed) way to /at least/ boot the phone?
Thank you all in advance,

need help installing clockwork and tnt

hi guys, I am new to this forum and I just purchased a g tablet today. Because of all the reviews and info that I found here is why I decided to buy it. Now I am stuck trying to install the clockwork and tnt. I've been following to the t the instructions posted here and I even was able to convert tnt from .rar to.zip but I can't do crap!!!
is there anyone that can help me? Is there anyone here from Miami that has been able to do this and can help me out? I can pay a few $$ for your time and help.
thanks,
Frankie
if you get tntlite 4.4.0 just copy the update.zip into the root of the internal storage. make sure you are on the right stock rom 1st.
from there make sure you have a file in your internal called recovery it should have the command file in it (if it isn't in there you can ether make one of copy the one he has packaged with 4.3)
from there reboot holding the + vol and it will flash tnt lite 4.4
now as for CWM recovery.
once tnt is installed factory reset (trust me this will make things easyer and more stable)
go into the google market and get the terminal emulator
once you have this installed open it and throw in these commands.
SU
(this is for super user rights press yes once super user appears)
cwmrecovery.sh
(this command will execute a script that will load a flash tool and install CWM recovery it will only take a few seconds to flash)
from there you are done. i know it is backwords for installing recovery last. but sad to say this is how i did it. TNT lite has integrated a copy of CWM and the vanilla recovery and the dev has added a pack tool for being able to switch between these two recoveries.
okay! it's been 2 days playing with this g tablet and I am about to slamm it to the ground!!! I really don't get it! I've followed the steps one by one exactly how it is described in this forum and in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
And I've had no luck at all! it is still factory set. I can't even find the markewt or the Google Services Framework at the applications settings menu.
What the hell am I doing wrong here? please some one please help me!!
Thanks,
Frankie
well!!! finally I got it working! everything is installed! the only problem I have now, is that when I connect it to my usb cable, my desktop won't recognize my g tablet and the tablet says: usb debugging connected with the android logo. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

[Q]

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the android phone and this forum. My phone is HTC Desire HD. I have two problems. Let me begin by giving some details about the phone.
1. I am running android 2.2.1, build 1.84.832.2
2. I bought this phone in China during my recent travels, but it is original, not Chinese.
3. The phone came already rooted: I see the Superuser application, and I can run applications that require rooting such as nobloat.apk; Titanium Backup and Root explorer.
4. Recently, the phone downloaded the android 2.3 update and signaled that I should update. When I accept the update prompt, the process hangs on a white triangle with a yellow exclamation sign, +the android robot in front.
5. If I manually try to update by pressing the volume(-) button and power button to get into the options for updating, the process will fail on signature verification.
6. I read some threads about changing the recovery 3e and that the recovery file is located in the system/bin folder. I looked in that folder and never found any recovery file, so using that method to solve the verification problem may be no good.
Please can someone help? I want to be able to update the phone. Thank you very much.
Hi all,
This is really not a reply. It is a call for help. I'm wondering where the experts are! I cannot update my phone. I badly need your help. Phone is HTC Desire HD. It was rooted before I bought it, in China. I am running root applications like Titanium and nobloat.
It downloads the OTA for Android 2.3. but the update process hangs on a white triangle and an exclamation sign. How to I manage to update? Thanks for your help.
You would get more help in the device-specific subforum .

[Q] Bootlooping my Note, CWM installed but can't mount SD & Install ROM [SOLVED]

Hey guys, basically, as the title says, after flashing CWM with Odin, (and enabling debugging before hand) I know cannot flash any ROM zips as the internal SD is (computer says no)
I've also tried TWRP with ADB drivers but still cannot get access to my note to transfer another zip to another directory or push across, and after trawling though what seem's like most of the internet back and forth through endless pages I have a bootlooping note I've only had a few hours
its the GT-8020...
anyways you guys have helped me before with quandries and hopefully someone could spare the time and knowledge to help me out, that would be amazing!
thanks in advance!
(and apologies for posting a Q in the Development thread!) D'oh!
