repartition / hard-brick?? (HELP ME)

ok... so i think I'm f***ed!
was trying to repartition & totally clean my phone out at work last night, and i think I made a wrong selection while selecting cache size and such... (i should pay more attention)
but yeah... i get boot-loops on the Samsung screen. It will stay there for 1-2 minutes, then reboot... never making it to the boot animation. I also cant get into recovery, for the fact that EVERYTHING was wiped.
I got into download mode, but Heimdall (i use ubuntu) wont detect it... I've tried unplugging and re-plugging several times, I also tried a battery pull then reloading everything... still nothing.
I'm out of ideas and ways to fix this... please dont tell me im totally bricked... cause i have zero money for a new phone.

If you can get into download mode you're not bricked completely. Heimdall was working for you in Ubuntu before you did this I take it? I am not a Linux guy so I can't help there but if you have access to a windows pc , you may want to try Odin and/or Heimdall on it.

Yeah ive used Heimdall a few times now... much better than driving 20 minutes to my tech buddies house to use his machine for use of Odin.
but yeah... been sitting in download mode for 20 minutes now, and still nothing.

You may need to reflash efs. You did make a back up right? If not, search the forums, i posted a flashable backup. Just use Odin to flash it.

yeah i made a backup last night before i flashed Mitra 5.0... but wouldnt it be gone if i repartitoned everything? cause that would sweep my whole SD
:: UPDATE :: (again)
alright, made a big long post about everything i did and finally got into recovery and tried sweeping it and it said app2sd ext didnt exsist and all this other crap.. then tried went into my backups and it said "couldnt open directory" and "no files found"
then swept again, then rebooted & once it booted, it wasnt stock, but Mitra 5.0.... the very rom that started all my issues in the first place. (-_-)*
so yeah... phone is up and running... what do i need to do from here? i want to revert back to MitRa 4.7 or go to ZEUS-rom... do i need to repartiton and fix my efs or what?

No, don't repartition, either boot back into recovery and try to restore. Unless you formatted, it should still be there. Or just wipe and flash Zeus.
ignore: app2sd ext didnt exsist

just connected my phone to my PC... yep... EVERYTHING is gone on my internal-SD
just a few folders... thats it.
android, DCIM, external_sd, LOST.DIR, VooDoo

[Q] T-Mobile LG G2x crashed, need help

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

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

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

Help with Valhalla-BlackEdition-2.3.7

its not letting me unmount system in CWM everytime i go to mount/system it says errror mouting/system! I had rc 3.2, i was flashing 3.3 when this happened. help would be greatly appreciated

I'm having the same problem...except I didn't even think to check it since it's normally set to UMMU anyway...so I flashed the ROM and I'm stuck at the Galaxy S 4G logo screen.
I was on Valhalla Black 1.6, or whatever the latest version before the hybrid was. I've tried flashing back to that and a few other ROM's, but none are working. I really need my phone lol.
If anyone has ANY suggestions, please let us know. I am trying currently to install the drivers on my laptop so I can maybe go back to an older set of bootloaders, but something is not working with that either...UGHHHHH

I believe this is a GB issue with most kernels. Try flashing the modded KJ6 kernel, and see if that fixes it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331

A for the issue, I have had a similar issue. To fix it, I used Odin to flash back to Kj6 stock, Odined KH1 then XWM BH's's Kj6 kernel and then flashed the ROM i was currently using, following the instructions exactly and all was good...
I posted this in another thread concerning the battery issue, but it should work for your issue you as I was having the unmount issue with a different ROM and the battery issue at the same time. The ROM was a GB ROM as well (2.3.5)
It cleans out the gremlins

I'm not able to get past the main bootup screen, so no-go on getting to the market. This is the first time I've had an issue flashing and it's been a few months since I've even wanted to switch ROM's since Valhalla Black worked so well for me.
I flashed the kernel, but still can't change the mount point for /system...tried to flash the ROM anyway cuz I'm a dumbass and still not able to boot. I'm trying to get into ODIN to revert back to a stock GB ROM, or any GB ROM for that matter...my laptop is telling me the drivers weren't installed correctly. ODIN seems to recognize my phone in the yellow box (COM 5) but it doesn't have anything in the box above the yellow COM 5 box. (sorry for all the non-technical terms here).
My process is
1. Install Samsung drivers for 32 bit Windows 7 laptop (verified 32 bit...I've tried the wrong ones on a previous flash)
2. Install ODIN
3. Connect phone to laptop in DL Mode.
Everything is good except the damn drivers issue...bad link for the drivers perhaps??

If Odin says you are connected (yellow box), you should be able to flash. As long as your phone is in dl mode... The box above it fills up while Odin is performing the flashing operation

[Q] Getting my hands on a bricked g2x today....

he said he bricked it trying to upgrade to ICS.
is the sticky at the top still the way to unbrick it? i noticed that a couple links were dead in the first post. granted i didn't go through all 17 pages, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything newer then whats already been posted.
edit: he did say that the screen is showing s/w if that matters

Was it bricked by flashing a o2x rom? I think that may be the hardest brick I have heard of but still fixable. I believe if that is the case than following the sticky should restore the baseband and everything else.
Honestly though I would first try just reflashing CWM via nvflash, boot into recovery and load a stable GB rom. If that works, great.

he just said things went haywire when trying to flash ICS. i've been messing around with the sticky but can't get anything to work....yet!

im on windows 7 if that matters
and after i boot into recovery the screen is just flashing black. any ideas?

everything i do with flashing it just sits at the prompt saying "flashing" and nothing else happens.

You apparently you did not even read the first post. XP only, will not work with Windows 7.
"As many have stated, pushing the v21E_00.kdz via the KDZ_FW_UPD program does work. It's just touchy.
This is a step by step guide to get you back in to working shape.
Note: You MUST do this via a PC running Windows XP. Running Vista/7 in compatibility mode is not going to work, period.
Edit: As an alternative, a virtual environment running XP will do the job. Those steps are up to you."

That's not true. I updated the baseband using win7 on my first try. No need for comparability mode.

duple and lurker, thanks for the confirmation that it works with 7
when i try and push the kdz i get the dreaded phone not found.

ok im on my xp machine here at work and heres what i got:
Part 1: Download the files you will need below.
V21E_00.kdz
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar
LG USB Drivers G2x
Part 2:
1) Install the LG G2x USB drivers to your WinXP machine.
2) Extract the entire contents of the One-Click recovery in to a folder and keep it handy.
3) Remove the battery from the phone. Hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable. If you are asked for a driver, look in the APX folder where you extracted the One-Click recovery archive.
4) Run OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe and flash the stock recovery. Wait for the process to finish and close all windows and unplug the phone.
no problems with above steps. after that nothing works. when i put the battery back in and turn on thats when i get the flashing black screen, not back to the s/w screen.
5) Put the battery back into the phone and turn it on. You will be back at the S/W Upgrade screen. This is where you want to be! Now plug the USB cable back in to the phone. If everything is up to snuff you should have no driver problems at this point.
6) Extract KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z in to a folder. Inside is a msxml.msi. You need to run and install this first!
7) Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe.. Leave the type set to CDMA and the phone mode set to DIAG. DO NOT CLICK ON "Read phone information"
8) Click the folder icon and load the V21E_00.kdz
9) Click launch software update (and pray!)

ok just for craps and giggles i tried booting into recovery and actually got the box with arrow and android! but it then reboots back to the lg screen and then flashing black screen

WOOT! finally able to get into CWM recovery!
is all that needs to be done now is install a stable rom?

double WOOT! back up and running. time to test the functionality of if though!
edit: can't find the sim and no service.

wifi seems to be flaky. keeps scanning and dropping work and home network
also it appears that the market wasn't on that version of the rom. is that a quick fix?

Now you have the recovery and baseband sorted, start from scratch and do a full wipe(including system internal/external SD). Then flash a stable ROM Weapon/EB to make sure everything is good. Just my 2 cents

You were lucky, indeed!
A CM nightly can be stable too, however I would flash either Weapon or Eagles Blood for a couple of days to have a piece of mind that everything is working cool. The most important would be a proper full wipe (cache, dalvik, system under mounts and storage, battery stats and imho internal and external SD too) too get rid of the previous mess caused by the unsuccessful flash, etc.

[Q] Where to start...

Ok so I have a rooted infuse 4G and am a complete noob when it comes to flashin roms and mods... I am still on the froyo 2.2.1and hate it lol. Which brings me to my first query, I know its possible to upgrade my android version to the GB and JB with multiple methods but I'm extremely scared that I'm going to brick my phone. It was some forums on here that helped me decide to root my phone so now I'm hoping that you guys can help me take the next step. So whats the safest, easiest way to upgrade my os.. Odin didnt work and I no longer have a computer, so heimdall is out as well. Oh not sure if this is important but I'm not registered on any network nor have I unlocked my phone's sim. Well that's a start. I really hate froyo 2.2.1 so please if anyone can help I definitely could use it.

From Froyo 2.2.1, there is an official build GB 2.3.6 UCLB3 out for the Infuse.
You will need a computer though. Without a computer to restore your phone to stock from soft bricking, you should not be flashing anything. It may be possible for you to bring your phone to an AT&T store and have them update you if you don't have a PC. You will need a computer to root the GB UCLB3.
Where to start? Read the Q/A as much as you can. Then move into the Development section.

Will it be easier to flash the jellybean 4.1.1 from the froyo or the gb? Or would it be possible to just flash a higher kernel? I'm not syre if that would help me or not, I really want to speed up my infuse and stop it from rebooting so much.

Would it be best to use kies to update to GB? I'm a little concerned as to what would happen to my Infuse all around.. What will need backed up?
I have titanium backup but if the app gets wiped wont i lose all my back-ups? For some reason it wont sync to my dropbox app force closes every time I try. Sorry about all the questions I'm just short on the amount of time I am able to browse threads at the moment but I do have use of a computer for awhile so that kinda helps.

I personally prefer using odin or heimdall. Don't quite trust kies and it often gives issues.
all mayor changes will occur on system partitions. Your internal sd will remain untouched, and there you will titanium backups. Just reinstall TB app later and restore apps, not data.

It doesn't matter if your phone is unregistered and locked. You cannot use SuperOneClick on Gingerbread. What you should do is (this is the Heimdall version):
Flash this rooted version of stock GB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2
You do that and you already have root.
If you want to then graduate on to Jelly Bean you must:
Flash ICS (follow directions carefully!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901014&postcount=1
Once you've done that, flash any of the JB ROMs you like, but make sure to read the directions carefully. I strongly recommend that you consult the Super Everything Thread for links to the ROMs and tweaks you need, particularly if you are interested in unlocking your phone.

but am unsure if that actually is the one containing Heimdall or just the rom i'm flashing or both.. I'm extremely sorry about my noobishness of just posting all these already answered questions. I've gone and confused myself and have like ten tabs with different threads open please don't hate me. I have a bad habit of asking questions..
Oh and what apps do i need on my phone in order to flash? And I mean absolutely need. I've also noticed that most threads say to format my mounted sd card But i really dont want to do that if i dont need to.

It should all be bundled together. Heimdall is a java based interface so it should just open up. Sorry, it's been a long time and I'm an Odin person!
You don't need any apps on your phone. When you flash, everything on the small partition will be wiped (apps, app data, etc). Flashing will not usually wipe your pictures, videos etc. but it's always a good idea to back up. For now, don't worry about formatting anything. When you get to ICS, you'll need to format as it says in the instructions. Otherwise, if it works, don't fix it!
When you flash ICS and JB, all you need to do is to put the zip files on to your internal SD card (not the one you can take out). You can then flash from CWM (which will already be on your phone - don't download Rom Manager).

Once again thank you all. I'm running GB and loving it. My fiance is shocked at how much help I needed though usually I'm the person everyone comes to with their tech issues LOL. But I absolutely did not want to mess my infuse up. I thought I did but the issue was such a noob mistake that I had to smack myself in the face at my stupidity. Forgot to unzip the cwm ect folder I downloaded. XD not sure I'm ready to try ICS or JB yet though.

The odd thing is you could have updated to GB through AT&T and used mini kies. But at least you are now rooted and able to go to ICS and JB.
Read the instructions on the next step before moving on.

Kinda wish I would have done it that way... I wanted to get some practice flashing roms tho. And now my phone is bootlooping, computer says the device is incompatible I can only get into the samsung recovery even tho the rom i flashed had cwm packaged in. I tried to change my boot animation following the steps provided in my boot animation thread then again with the steps in tsqers rom thread I apologise if thats mispelled. I tried updating from sd but get a sign error Can get into download mode but same issue with it being incompatible usb device. I tried holding down the power button for 1 minute and then rebooting no luck there. I tried wiping data/fact. reset,... nothing. I tried wipe cache partition,...still looping.
The loop samsung screen two seconds, black screen 1 1/2 seconds,... over and over and over...
My battery is full. Any advice???

Click to expand...

Which ROM did you flash and which CWM recovery can you see (which version)?

I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=2 thread to get the rooted rom UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL.

Saved I think.
So I finally Got it to connect to my comp and re-flashed the rom can i get a link to an ICS heimdall one click package to flash before restoring anything and this happening again?

You should be able to find it on the ISET page.
