Have you re-downloaded the v9 kernel, there were issues with the earlier version (at least there was on this device).
You could try to download and re-flash whatever was the previous (old) kernel.

I understand but in order for me to do that I need to be able to get to the sd card. Hmmm ok i think i know how to get to the sd card. I could take it out my phone. which leaves me with one question.
how am i going to get to recovery to flash it once again. Ivbe tried to hold the volume down button and hit power. But once im at the screen that says recovery and few other things. I can never move down or up or hit power so it can function. I have no control on that screen.

You do know that this forum isn't for your device. There's probably one specifically for yours.
When you Get to that white screen called the bootloader, the volume keys should navigate through the menus and power acts as select

yea i noticed it wasnt tonight once i got home. I have reposted in the right forum being a lil more detailed.
But once i get to my bootloader i can never select recovery. I never have been able too except a few times. Idk if i did something differently or not. But once im on the bootloader screen. The volume keys or the power button doesnt work.

For getting to recovery try installing android sdk and using adb reboot recovery
From there you can put another rom in the sd card. Wipe all and install a new one, which includes a new kernel inside. (like all of them)

I was stuck at the bootloader after trying to install a corrupt radio. I could get into recovery but it only offered yes or no for the corrupt file.
I removed SD card and pulled battery and restarted, i was then was able to get into recovery and do a wipe and it then booted fine.

[Q] CM7 Not Going Beyond Loading Screen AND Clockworkmod Is Black

A couple of weeks ago I decided to root my phone for the benefits it came with. I did so successfully and had no problems until I decided I'd let my curiosity get the better of me and try flashing CM7 onto my phone. I did so, and everything seemed successful, but I got stuck in a boot loop when I turned on the phone.
I know there are solutions to this, but they all involve either CWM or ADB. Just two problems: I can't use ADB because I forgot to leave USB Debugging on, and I can't seem to get CWM to do anything (it's just a black screen).
There are solutions to all of these problems individually, I know, but each solution relies on at least one of the others to be working. I've been surfing this forum and others like it hoping that someone else would have this problem and would have a solution for me, but I've come up dry.
I used attn1's Ace Hack to root my phone, and then I used Rom Manager to install CM7. Then I hit the loop. Also, my CWM was working prior to CM7.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thank you in advance,
JW

P.S. - I'm new to this forum and don't really know the rules perfectly, so if I did something wrong, then please just let me know what I did and what I should've done. Thank you.

But you can still get in hboot right?

It sounds like you did not choose to wipe data and cache. You always need to do this when changing roms. Best way is to enter cwm yourself and select wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik then flash Rom.

Pull you battery for a little bit then try and get into recovery again. If you still can't get in then you will have to reflash your recovery through bootloader.

If all else fails you can use the tool in this link to return to stock. Then re root you phone. genes tool

No, I didn't think to. To be honest, I saw Rom Manager and thought I would just be able to click on what I wanted and have it ready to play with in a few minutes. I never read what to do before the installation, which was my huge mistake.
Anyhow, I don't think I can get into HBoot. When I turn the phone on with power button and volume button, it vibrates three times, but then it goes to a black screen. I read about this problem with CWM, but the only solutions I saw involved getting into your phone - which I can't do.
So I'm wondering if CWM still works but that it just doesn't show what it's doing. If that's the case, then maybe I could still manage to fix my phone with CWM. Does anyone know if such is the case?

Thank you!

Sounds like you're holding the vol+ button. You need to be holding vol- when you press power to get to HBOOT. From there you can get into Recovery.

this is correct, but you may want to pull out your sd card first. if it still has the pd98img on there,,, its just gonna loop ya. so pull it out before trying, you can always stick it back in once you get to recovery, then select mount> sd card
GOOD LUCK!!

[Q] U8650 HELP! I think I bricked my phone... :(

Let me introduce myself. My name is Toni, I'm from Croatia.
We too have an IT forum, and they recommended me to go and ask for answers here...
Well, I have a Huawei U8650. It is rooted, and I installed a custom ROM.
Today, I installed a .zip file from the recovery, and when I went to "Reboot" (also from recovery), the phone stopped on the Huawei Logo (when trying to reboot).
I couldn't do anything, so I pulled the battery out, and in again. I pressed the Power button, but again, the boot stopped at Huawei Logo.
Then, I tried to get to the recovery menu. The combo- VOL UP + POWER is not working (when I try it, it gets me to the Logo).
However, I also tried this combo- VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER, but then the whole screen turns pink! WTF?
I don't know what to do, I'm desperate! I can't use my phone anymore!
Did I brick my phone? If not, what the f*ck did I do?
How can I solve my problem?
Thanks
Toni

Bricked phone
Try this:
Hold volume down while pressing and releasing the power button, wait till phone comes on to release volume down, let me know your results (should bring you to hboot)

Sorry, but that didn't help. Nothing happens.

i think there might be a chance that your phone has fastboot turned on since i was trying to get into recovery and couldnt because of the fastboot...i cant help you but i know this is what might be causing you not being able to get into recovery

So, I will be able to get it to work again??
What is the sign of bricking a phone? How does it look?

ive never bricked my phone but from what im reading is if you have fastboot on pull the battery and then try again hold volume and power at same time hold for a couple seconds then just release the power button while holding down the volume

Again nothing.
Just the logo.

ok last thing i can think of......Did you wipe everything when installing the rom...factory reset, cache partition, delvik cache...if so are you getting a white screen when loading.....sometimes when installing a new rom it can take almost 10 min for it to load.....i have an evo 4g and this can happen.....it could be just trying to load so give it at the most 10min to load everything....then let me know what id does

No, i didn't wipe a thing. I did not install a ROM. I installed an app, root manager. The install instructions didn't say anything about wiping data.
I left it at the logo for 30 minutes, because I went out. When I came back, the screen was showing the logo.
EDIT: but yes, when I installed my custom ROM, i wiped everything.

I don't understand. Do you mean, how did I install the app?
I didn't, because I never got into the phone again... I installed it, but i didn't reboot.
OK, I will register to the site.

I did it! All I did was rooting the phone.

[Q] CyanogenMod messed up my Infuse??

So I was curious about the CyanogenMod, and wanted it for my Infuse 4G. I downloaded the zip file and stored it onto my phone. I went into recovery mode (power button + volume down and up) and unzipped the file from there. It worked great for awhile, but this is the second time this has happened....It will randomly turn of, and seem to reboot when "Samsung" appears on the screen. It the goes to the next screen where "Cyanogen(mod)" appears, then it just loops and does the same thing repeatedly. I have no idea why it's doing this, but I need help!!!!! What can I do???

A little more detail may come in handy. Exactly which CyanogenMod ROM did you flash? What was the full procedure you followed? Also, why would you unzip the file when in recovery mode? ROMs aren't meant to be unzipped, they're flashed while in .zip format. I'd recommend reverting back to stock, with Heimdall, and starting over again. This time, don't unzip anything.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------
If you want to go back to stock, all the downloads and instructions you need are in the first 2 posts of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629079&highlight=uclb3

A few things could've caused this...over clocking (doubt it...our oc is pretty stable) under volting (very likely if he put it too low) and under clocking (also likely if it was put to low) or just bad luck
For a fix I suggest back to stock with any heimdall or Odin package

OP, there is more than enough info around on just the Q/A thread on solving boot loops and lost recovery.
Spend a few hrs and through the Q/A sections to get your answer. It's all there...

edit: imho, CM in itself doesn't messes with anyone's phone. It is simply an optional firmware created by many talented individuals and their countless hours of hard work. It one wants to use it, there is a mandatory due diligence on the end users part. Search and read before you ask. The OP's title is also misleading. The simple answer to the op's title is "NO"

Thread cleaned, I suggest some of you to relax and help out else, don't post

Make sure you didn't dirty flash it and you wiped cache and delvik and did a restore just follow all the instructions. Also another thing to do is check the thread and see if theres anyone with a similar problem.

Thanks for the help, but I can't do that. I can't enter recovery mode at all. It makes it to the "cyanomod" screen, then loops from there. It will turn on to the Samsung screen, cyanogenmod screen, then turn off and back on again.

I'd say boot into download mode and flash stock using Odin and try to reflash cm again but make sure your following the instructions step by step

That almost sounds like a stuck power button. Does it start IMMEDIATELY running if you remove the battery and reinstall it after 30 seconds?

I'm having the exact same problem. Is there any sure way of fixing this?

Ugh... Screwed up my phone using the Wallet Installer. Someone Help!

Sorry for posting this.
I was trying to get Google Wallet on my phone, and of course it backfired. I noticed in my "About Phone" it said "Galaxy Nexus." I remember trying to restore my build.prop thru the app before, but I tried it again, this time clicking on "Verizon" and SIII, and I pressed build.prop and my phone has been endlessly trying to bootloop. I haven't been able to get past the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" menu with Cid on it.
My biggest problem is I'm running a Mac. I know theres a whole Odin process, I haven't even looked at, unfortunately. Typically, this phone doesn't read Macs well.
I backed up multiple ROMs thru recovery. I tried getting to the boot menu, pressing vol up+power and vol down+ power to no avail. I know there are countless threads on this, but if anyone could do me the kindness to show me the right thread to read and what I should look at, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I've been flashing forever and this is the first time this has happened to me.
Thank you.
UPDATE!:
I'd delete this post entirely, but I don't see an option where I can. Thought I'd post how I figured it out at least so when someone else does this, they know what to do.
I figured out how to boot into recovery from power off. You press and hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME. Then you press power and let go when the S-Screen comes on.
I've heard all GS3 flashers soft brick at some point, and I'm dreading the day I have to use Odin...

for the future, as far as i understand theres almost no downside to keeping the build prop edited to nexus.
I had it that way for months at a time with no noticeable differences.

I actually had this problem, to fix this issue you can always choose system restore only from advanced restore. It restores your build.Prop and keeps all of your data intact.
Just for future use in case you modify your system files again.

The only downside is if you install a recovery via goomanager or rom manager. It will flash the wrong recovery to your phone.
Will this actually brick the phone? Or keep it from booting into recovery?
