Constant Loss of Single/Odin 1 Click Boot Loop

Background. Was using 2.2 for the longest time, loved Firefly. Went ahead and bit the bullet and decided to go to 2.3 and use Gingerbread. Solid week of great success. However I started notcing my antenna saying no signal. Several Reboots and still nothing worked. Decided I would One-Click Back to 2.1 and start fresh. Well I never had issues with Odin 1 Click before, but now I get in a boot loop (ATT SPlash Screen) I have noticed when its unloading the package after , the last thing i see is CSC and that it boots into the loop. Would love to get my phone back to stock so i can see if its a hardware or software issue with my antenna. I have looked at this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36 but was afraid I possibly might still have GB bootloaders on my phone. I would think not if Odin finished, but I just want to double check with the community so I dont brick.
Thanks guys.

Can you get into DL mode? IF so, i would try and Odin again. ALthough I looked at the link in your OP, unless your heart is set on 2.1JH7, i would use the Odin3 one click downloader. That will restore your phone to 2.1JF6 as well as flash the correct bootloaders. I have gone back and forth from continuum to cm7 a few times now using that method.

Thanks for the quick reply. however this is the 3rd time trying Odin-1 Click tonight and I still end up in a boot loop. I have redownloaded the file just to make sure I didnt have a corrupt one. I just want a stock system and see if the constant antenna issues continue. (Trust me Ive tried different modems and all those possibilities.) Is it safe with that link? I noticed when i do Odin they flash a sbin and bootloader. I am assuming that puts it back on 2.1

which Odin are you using? Are you using the one click program that gives you stock firmware... JF6 firmware?
It is here:

Yup thats what I have. It looks like it doesn't load the android system. Soon as it says installing Multi-CSC its done and rebooting. It would seem like its not unpacking the files. I have no status bar at the bottom. I have no idea why its doing this. Here is the crazy part. If i go back to the ginberbread stock, its not a problem to get to boot.

while I'm no expert.. seems like a bootloader thing. Try downloading it again from the link i put up and see if it was maybe a corrupted download.

The bootloaders are the first thing flashed in odin. It stopped after that then you have stock bootloaders. Also if all you see is the white AT&T screen and then it reboots, that indicates stock bootloaders as well. The gb bootloaders have a black galaxy s I9000 screen as the param.lfs image.
I would bet money you have stock bootloaders, use that link you posted that work be perfect. If you go back to gingerbread and want to return to stock bootloaders you'll have to use one click again even though you got a problem from it this time, if you get the same problem you know this worked to fix it.
And lastly usually problems with cell signal are modem related ... Which one were you using, did you even try another one? That would've been my first move instead of going all the way back to stock.

Hey studacris,
I have been using Mosaic (Love the work you guys do over there). I did try and use the other method to get back to Stock Last night and it did the same thing. Just a bootloop. If its plugged into the USB cable it goes directly to the Battery Symbol, if its not the Att 3G bars loop. I can flash to Gingerbread stock and then apply Other Roms. I tried GR-2 and Mosaic again, but still nothing with the signals. I just dont like the fact I cant get back to Stock with those 2 different methods. What I think is odd is when I load Gingerbread, it seems like items are being unpacked and loaded. When i try to go to Stock, everything happens super quick, making me believe nothing ever gets installed on the Internal Card during the unpacking sequence. I am no pro, but thats just something i noticed. Here was my original post on the Mosaic board. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14043766&highlight=Rizz67#post14043766

[Q] LG P500h with recovery issues...

Okay, so I read and read, searched and searched. So far I'm pretty stuck.
I did a ton of research before taking my LG P500h, and flashing the ROM because I wasn't a fan of the Froyo android setup. Did everything properly, ran an nandroid backup, everything that I was told to do.
Rooted using Gingerbreak APK, custom backup using Amon_RA custom recovery. All done using the latest USB drivers LG updated me with.
I am currently with Koodo Mobile here in Canada. Pretty much an offspring of Telus Mobile. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 the 6.5.7 beta build, and the phone is not bricked, or giving me any errors or hassle.
The problem is that I cannot use the 3G network or use the Koodo network. It only defaults to Telus towers. No android market showing up anywhere either. From what I've found on here, there doesn't seem to be a bugfix solution to this, and no settings I've been able to change on the phone has helped my situation. Maybe I missed something.
So, I decided to take it back to where I began, back to Froyo 2.2.1 . This is where it all went wrong. Tried going through the Nandroid backup and restoring that, I was given an " Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " . Okay, I'm not exactly a Java programmer so I'm a little intimidated. I do however have Android SDK going on my laptop.
Some more searching revealed the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe flashing method. I got the right KDZ file for my Koodo phone, V10V_00.kdz and began the process. Everything checks out, good to go, started update. Wait, phone not found? WTF! My laptop recognizes it, says my phone is connected and working. No problems here, just can't find it? UGH.
So, I need someone to either give me info on getting it to flash the kdz, or get Cyanogen Mod 7 working properly on my device.
Please help, I'll fully admit I'm a noob to this, and not an expert programmer either. But, I know computers and I fully understand what I have done so far to my phone. Just not enough to fix it.

Okay, I have gotten some things working on my phone. I think I am settling into Cyanogen Mod nicely. I missed the Google apps flash zip so I have my market and stuff. Its a shame the data does not work though. Oh well I will keep updating as it gets developed.

GOT IT! finally...
Finally got my phone recovered to OEM specs. I had to restore my computer back to before I installed all my drivers and reinstalled all my USB drivers from there. Phone connected to USB properly, ran the KDZ updater, and it sucessfully installed the V10V kdz. All is well.

finally good luck.. enjoy androiding..

When you flashed the cyanogen mod rom what program did you use to flash the phone? And how did you make a rom backup? When you reflashed the stock rom did it still have all the original bloatware?

LG Optimus P500h TELUS became dead during Upgrading
Hi everybody!
I have LG Optimus P500h Telus. I purchased from Kijiji. I don't have any papers or documents for that so i cannot claim its warranty.
I was trying to upgrade its version during upgrading my device was stuck so I disconnected and plugged out its battery and inserted again. When i tried to turn it on. It never turned on again. It never ever appeared emergency mode again. I tried for several times by pushing home, power, and volume up and down buttons, and escape buttons. Now its just like dead. It never showed any sign of life. If anybody have any idea what happened with it and how I can recover or where I should take this one for repairs. I am in toronto, canada.
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.

HELP!

Cant reflash Baseband since Phone is back from Service

Hello,
i gave my phone to service 3 weeks ago because my Power Button doesnt worked anymore. Yesterday i got my Phone back and they said they changed Mainboard and i have a new IMEI. So since ive got it back i cant reflash ginger baseband which i had already on the Phone before i gave to service. Progress ends at 0% with EBL error.
Can anybody help me??

You could flash V21a (can be rooted) or V21b. They are both gingerbread ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
It will probably invalidate your warranty though if your phone isn't a European open model.

Hmmm the same thing happened to me with the power button before christmas and they replaced the mainboard. I seem to remember also have the same problem flashing the baseband but i got it to work eventually. I cant remember exactly what i did but i think it had something to do with the drivers on my computer and that i had to start from scratch. It worked eventually so dont give up. Try reinstalling all the computer software and then try reflash.

Soft brick/boot loop

I was running the latest tweaked ROM yesterday when it rebooted itself into a boot loop. Iets stuck at "Samsung"
I attempted to restore using Odin following the instructions in the how to fix your phone thread. Though i've been successful with that in the past, this time it didn't fix the phone. Its still stuck on Samsung, but will randomly display the stock boot ani with sound, or even get to the lock screen, but then immediately go back to displaying Samsung.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and yes, i've followed all instructions correctly with wipes and loading things in Odin, etc.
Thanks!

Hmm... was there anything going on at the time of reboot? Very curious.
Beyond that - assuming all went as it should with ODIN, if you are still having issues then the problem is a bit beyond the rom. It seems a scapegoat but perhaps a hardware error is underlying things...?
Anyhoo - what file (or files) have you tried to ODIN? There are a few to choose from, and they all can be found here (just be sure to only DL and use the charge-specific ones of course). I would try each one and hope at some point something sticks to where the phone is usable again. Sorry for the troubles!

Thanks for your reply! Phone was just sitting on my desk, I was text messaging...it may have been plugged into a non Samsung charger. I doubt its the fault of your ROM tho, as it had been running great since I installed 2.1 a few weeks ago. Its always run hot so that might have just caught up with it.
I'll try all those files this time on fresh downloads, might have been something corrupted.
thanks again!
UPDATE: Successfully loaded ED1 on, and it boots. I can unlock the phone, begin the setup process, but then it reboots. I'm so confused...

Find the most current OTA file and flash it instead of working your way all the way from Froyo to Gingerbread.

I had something similar happen to me just a week ago. I was on stock debloated deodexed and odined to tweeked and it bootlooped, Odin said successful but nothing was happening just Samsung logo. I knew there was no problem with tweeked cause I used the same file b4 and it worked fine. Tried to Odin back to stock ep4 same Samsung logo Odin still said it was successful. So I changed cable and made shure I was not moving phone or cable while it was doing its thing. It worked. Then updated to fp1, cwm superuser then Odin to tweeked. Everything ok. I figured the only problem of my was that the cable was a bit loose when I plugged it in the phone, the connections in the phone I guess were not getting the full contact as they should have. So try making shure you connect/plug in cable all the way and don't touch it while Odin is doing its job. You might also need to flash the stock ep4 file. Sorry could not help more. This worked for me, now on tweeked 2.2 n no problems.

[Q]

I need help. I know very little about the android stuff even though I have had the phone nearly 3 years I think. I got a problem of flashing(my first experience of flashing the firmware). Let me put it in details. I have xperia SL. My friend helped flash a new custom rom (MIUI) so my phone was rooted and unlocked bootloader. because there were always problems happening( not smooth, and apps always stopped working during they were in the process) while I was using the MIUI Rom. I decided to flash it by myself to firmware I had before, but I did a lot of reading about it before I did it, but I don't think i understand all. Before it was flashed, it had the stock: LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96. I tried to look for this one. But I could find only the firmware for Xperia S. I tried, but during flashing problems happened it said something like flashing aborted, I don't know why. when I turn my phone on it displayed only reparing picture on screen...then I tried to turn it off by holding volumn up key and power button for 10 seconds and tried to flash another frimware but It is the old version: LT26ii_6.1.A.2.55_1266-9957_Singapore by xdaNomNomM. It worked this time. I looked for the firmware of LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 and I got one it is LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96_Generic. I decided to flash my phone again. Yes, flashing process till the end was fine. I didn't see any error message or something. But after flashing, I disconnect it and turned it on because I got the message to do so. It displayed the repairing image again, don't know what is wrong. I decided to flash it again using the old firmware again 4.0.4 it works and now I am stuck using the ICS, not really satified with it. Anyone can help provide the links to download the firmware LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 that work for me? and can you tell what could be the problems while I was flashing? what should I do to my phone now, keep it like that?
Thank in advance! Sorry that I write a lot for you to read and sorry to disturb you all!
