Hello,
Im running Froyo on my Galaxy S. And recently I tried to install ryanZA's one click lag fix. When doing this it said its rebooting and finalizing but the phone turned off and when starting it stops at Galaxy S welcome screen and start vibrating time to time after that. Screen disappears but the phone keeps on vibrating time to time.
The reason I was trying to install this was my notification bar, it gets stuck most of the time and I was trying to get rid of that. In most places I read that its a memory issue and the lag fix would fix it if it was installed.
I installed the one click lag fix from the market, it needed rooting. then again from most of the suggestions I installed z4 root on the phone. It worked.
And while I was trying to apply the one click lag fix and it rebooted, it wont boot. welcome screen comes and goes, and after half an hour its till vibrating with 20 second interval.
Please help me, im very scared that I bricked my phone.
What can I do to fix this?
You need ODIN. here---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625 (only works with windows OS) You need samsung drivers installed.
You need to get into download mode. Hold down both volume buttons and plug in usb cable(while cable is plugged into computer), that should get you into download mode.
If you can get into download mode, and odin recognizes your phone, download these files here--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and put them in their respective places.
Hit start and done, let the phone reboot.
Try looking around here something in here might help you out if you get stuck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
**Edit these files are only for the Vibrant SGH-T959**

Hello, thanks for your reply. I see what you mean by this, but do I really want :
T959 (US T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S)?
Mine simply is not this - bought it unlocked in UK as Galaxy S.
Will it be the same?
thanks
Hey mate, please confirm this :/ Im seeing lots of different stuff as I'm googling around.
Not sure what to do, someone please help
Ok reset to factory settings from the recovery screen.
all Data lost but at least its working.
;(
Oh wow sorry, I didn't even notice that you never mentioned vibrant. Dont try to flash those files it will probably mess up your phone.
Glad you got it working.

NOT only got it working =, but after extensive research I installed speedMod kernel, that will probably solve all my problems.
Thanks tho.
Ok, I will Assume you have a I9000 Galaxy S phone. That is the European phone
You will need to Odin back or use Heimdall to get back to Stock, 2.1 variety of some sorts. Check the development and general section in the I9000 forum. You will get all the info and files needed to accomplish this.
Then Once you have it back to stock 2.1 , then root the phone/ Then Download Rom manager. From there you will be able to do anything you want to the phone.
Do not use Ryanza lagfix use Voodoo it is preferred for this phone over all others. Also, All the new Custom Roms usually have it pre-installed already.
You will need the following files:
Samsung drivers for the computer
Stock 2.1 Tar File
Pit 512 (this is for mapping) file
Odin 1.7 or higher
After you are in stock Then you can then root/ download rom-mgr/ then flash any Custonm rom of your choice (Like Darky's9.3, etc)
Good luck
Cheers
Thank you.
The problem has been solved by going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset. All DATA has been sacrificed.
Then i flashed it with speedMod kernel. Its much better now.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

I installed ROM manager on my 2.3.6 gingerbread rooted SGM and clicked back up ROM. The device went totally dead and it wont show ANY signs of life whatsoever. So pressing any of the buttons combo wont work. The phone seems to be dead for real. I did manage to make Odin detect it even if the device seems to have no power and looks like its turned off. But it will not let Odin establish connection to it to flash a new OS on it.
Is there anything I can do? Have anyone solved this brick by now since is see a lot of people having this issue?
Can you pull the battery.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Like how? I have pulled the battery out and put it back in with no result. Or did you mean to pull it out in a certain manner?
Ok, Does the battery charge when plugged in? Do you have another battery?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
No,the phone is totally dead. Like as if it would have no battery in. None of the button combos won't work on it. But if i press the emergency download mode button the Odin detects the device even if it seems dead,so the phone is alive i guess. But when i start Odin it starts the tread but get stuck on connecting.
All I know is basic trouble shooting,
I know Moto won't flash with out a good charged battery. Is there a forum for your phone here. Or try googling oden for info. Sorry i can't help more.
Good Luck

As far as I have read so far my motherboard needs to be replaced. Tis is a ultra hard brick. People that got their galaxy mini bricked by ROM manager had to visit service center.. Hope they can't find out what happened. Thx for the replies!
Good reason to not use rom manager
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
My phone is so hard bricked they couldn't fix it at customer service,they said they had to send it to another service,because it has a complex error. I keep my fingers crossed they can't find out what happened.
Got the phone back after 4 days,motherboard replaced,free of charge.
brick?
Hello.
i,ve installed rom manager and tried to make an backup of my rom.
my phone turned black and now its useless
anyone knows how to fix this ( galaxy mini gt s 5570 gbread 2.35 rooted)
i've tried to use odin but got no idea how to use it
anyone can help me?!!?
(phone has still 1 from the 2 years of warranty is this still valid or is it gone because of the root?)
It's hard bricked, you can do nothing, it's no use. Get it to service center saying that you dropped it and it wont turn on. dont say that you rooted your device. I've had this hardbrick too.
took it to the service center now waiting for them to fix it they said it could take several weeks.......
Hello to everyone and respect to all you developers for your hard work!
as you can see i'm noob but i'll try not to be too noobish.
here's the situation.. now, i have hephappy's CM9 bluepill rom installed in my lg p500 and it works just perfect (i mean it,just perfect),
and before that i have flashed custom rom's couple of times with success but once when i tried to boot into emergency mode (vol down+back+power) after that i couldn't get rid of that yellow message every time i restarted or turn on my phone till today.
so, now i'm living with that issue,but it bothers me,i can't understand why yellow emergency screen is showing EVERY time i reboot my mobile.
then i find out that the only way to avoid that is pulling battery out and wait for at least 5 minutes and then switch on (then it's ok - LG logo and blah blah).
but when i try to turn it on for less than 5 mins, emergeny mode will be showing everytime i switched mobile on.
so, i don't have a clue or answer what it could be. i tried to flash stock firmware through KDZ and actually everything seems ok and everything works just fine but that yellow screen still spy on me.
as i said, everything works perfect but when battery is drained or i wanna reboot my mobile i have emergency mode shown,so i must repeat above procedure with pulling out battery for 5 mins everytime.
i hope i didn't complicate this
Try to change RADIO (BASEBAND),maybe it might help you!

yes pal. everything i can remember including booting into recovery with clockworkmod, wiping all data,cache,update with kdz,then root,flash new rom...and everytime everything goes like a glowe,everything is stable,with no errors.
i suppose i'm one of the luckiest lg p500 users when it's about good,stable device,which could be overclocked or tweaked without kernel panic,errors, etc (i heard that differences between same devices can vary).
BUT after all that i have that same issue with yellow emergency mode.
finally, i suppose that yellow screen is the price i must pay at the cost of good stability and great performance
did you try flashing gb stock rom by lgmdp?

If you can get into yellow screen your ok
Last resort use kdz just don't take out battery or disconnect and you should be fine

@dhruv:
I heard about lgmdp,but i didn't found myself interested enough to try it
Because i actualy didn't had any issues excep that yellow screen.so you think it could be helpful?
@darkknight:
It is the only way i can avoid yellow screen by pulling out battery for 5 mins.
I know that my prob is unusal but now i have a lot of apps installed linked with link2sd,so i should find some way to safely backup all that stuff and try to do smtg.

I didnt get the method of flashing rom.. what you said above!!
You root again after updating from kdz.. you have gone wrong somewhere thats why you
get emergency mode everytime you restart.
I would suggest.. clear all the links.. make a nandroid backup. Dont use kdz as its not
required. Go into recovery.. clean everything (specially boot) and flash any rom and see if the problem persists.
which rom and which recovery maybe you can try and change the recovery. I wont reccomend kdz because i flashed it 10-12 times but after that i bricked my phone 2 times while flashing with kdz.
Here it is..
I had official gingerbread used when i found out that cm9 ics was out.then i have wait for stable cm9 rom,till hephappy's premature version.
So,i decided to flash premature,so here is a short procedure..
I don't have exact rooting/flashing guide link right now but i found it on xda forums for p500.
Downloaded short fuse,adb,etc and root via usb & command prompt..everything was ok,device sucesfully rooted,i got superuser.
Next step i installed rom manager from google play and follow flash instructions from xda including nandroid backup,booting to recovery,wiping data,dalvik,battery,everything that could be wiped..then installed premature,gapps,everything goes just fine.
I have been using premature till bluepill cames out.
just before flashing new rom i decided to hard reset via vol up+home+power, but i accidently entered into emergency mode by pressing vol down+back+power instead and after that yellow showing i have issue with it.
Downloaded then stock ginger rom from xda sites (20g),installed via kdz,everything flows fine,rooted againg with same procedure,flashed bluepill rom too with same procedure and still having that yellow emergency mode issue.
I think i made it much more clear

Hey, guys!
First post from me in this forum, although I have been searching for some things for some times.
So, the problem is that I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P500 for couple months. And ROM was working ok, but there was some problems and I thought I should get back to stock ROM, because actually it was working better and smoother. So, I searched for stock roms for my phone, found one and started to flash. Everything flashed well, phone booted up and then wave of errors started to come. So I thought that it ain't gonna be usable and tried to install a stock rom through official LG Updater, which obviously wasn't a good thing to do. everything, downloaded, installed, phone booted up and I was waiting with hope that it will boot up (android loading screen at least was showing), but it didn't happen. After that I managed to power phone off with getting battery out and then I tried to fix everything with one tutorial I saw in this forum with kdz updater. but at the begging it couldn't connect with my phone and after that screen showd Emergency Mode. nothing I could do, again took out battery to power it off and now phones doesn't show any signs of life.
What does it mean (maybe my phones is same as brick) and what should I do?
I would appreciate your help.

when your phone is in emergency mode then it will connect to the kdz updator
and then flash ur rom
ok, but there's no way I can turn my phone on now. or is there way to get to emergency mode?

Plug in the wall charger for about an hour, and then try the buttons - press power button+ volume up button + back button together
keep pressed all three for long duration (maybe 8-10 secs you see yellow screen with written Emergency Mode). Then you are in Emergency Mode.
If no screen yet, then bricked - only LG repair center option.
I have like many, played with my Android for 2 years now. I have a bricked Infuse GB (finally toyed with it to its death last week), so I pulled out my old Froyo unrooted backup. I rooted with SuperOneClick - easy. I made some kernel tweaks in Rom Toolbox Pro, and also changed a few status bar icons. I did several reboots and all was running well. I did need to adjust some more tweaks but I saved those for my next big change, when I decided to.
...look into more of what I could do and downloaded the zip file for Voodoo Sound. I read that this could do wonders on my Froyo stock rom and was compatible - actually, I read fairly safe. So I can't say if this caused this or not. It could have been my lack of booting after each simple change, font, notification icons..etc. But I didn't do much more before I flashed Voodoo Sound
I downloaded SGS Kernal Flasher from the market, and when I flashed and it booted, I got the SAMSUNG screen. Then followed by a new black screen with GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white with Samsung logo on bottom. And it stays frozen. I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode to my knowledge - or should I say, experience.
Since this was my backup and what I was doing seemed relatively harmless Im a bit shocked. I loved that my font and icons were changing, something I couldn't do with my gingerbread infuse using rom toolbox pro.
So now I am stuck on a bootscreen I've never seen before, nor intended to flash if that is what happened. Was this flashing Voodoo Sound or was it my negligence with other? I just rooted this yesterday after getting too frustrated to fix the GB. I don't think I had but 4 apps downloaded and really left most of the build.prop stuff alone beyond some minor adjustments for battery life.
So I'm stuck on a boot screen with a phone model I am not familiar with, cannot get into download mode or into recovery mode. I had a TWRP Recovery zip file I never set up yet, never got CWM recovery working - regardless, I just started playing with it so I'm lost as I thought I could just wipe, reinstall packages and reboot fresh. I hate this to be my first post, but I usually find all the answers I need from you guys and I appreciate all the efforts you put into this site to help noobs like myself from creating disasters. I just didn't know what to do and if I'm not hard bricked, I don't want to end up that way.
I thought unrooting would work, but I can't get into the phone so it won't connect to the computer. Also, when plugged in, it shows a battery frozen at zero. I know it's probably charging but that must mean I messed up something that starts at boot. Anyone willing to help me resolve this issue and get me back on so I can make phone calls again - something I should probably stick too, haha. But sometimes, mistakes are the best teachers...so maybe I'll learn something easy from the pros here.
Well u have the wrong kernel flashed some how
I would try a different computer and go for the heimdall package to take phone back to stock.
As soon as you do get to download mode and I know it sucks with bad kernel flash I did before my self. Gotta just keep trying ..... If you got power u can get download mode.
For more information go to qkster thread ...

Thank you, I'll search that out. Well, I thought bricking was more potential, but if I can do a recovery on both that'd be great. I backed all up to laptop and gdrive before - and actually thought about leaving it "new". As my first root and tweaking, or "modding" out the GB was great. And I never picked Froyo back up, but I just wiped it and rooted it yesterday, and I only used it for a month when I got it (long story with phone provider and a dent on the side (but I have two Infuses,Froy and GB)
But I am going to stay away from flashing. That got the GB...but since you brought up the power option. I thought they were toast. If it takes me a few days to learn, I'd do it in a heart beat - they both have power and that means I can get them both working. The GB has a PC on left, Phone on right and a triangle in middle. I didn't read into fixing that - which I thought would be tougher than grabbing my other. Maybe I can get both working and get some more insight.
I appreciate it, and anyone else who inputs. I'll start reading into that other thread after dinner, cross your fingers for me. :fingers-crossed:
I cannot find the specific thread you were directing me to. But I was successful after many attempts to enter download mode. It is being recognized but unable to access the insides of my phone. If I click reboot from download mode (volume down), it boots to the stuck Samsung logo. If I push up, it's in download mode, but I have nothing to send commands to it as it's not being recognized beyond the Samsung USB composite.
Can someone direct me to where the thread may be about the frozen/stuck Samsung boot logo? Also, frozen 0% battery level but charged all night.
I'm trying to find something specific on this but it's difficult being an Infuse Froyo and I'm stuck on the Galaxy S GTI900 which was never there before my last reboot - obviously whatever I flashed was probably for the Galaxy S. I get SAMSUNG, then the Galaxy S screen...can't seem to get into recovery because it's too fast before stuck again.
Take out the battery, put it back in do not turn it on hit volume up and volume down plug in USB that's the download mode you are looking for
