Then i try to "flash clockworkmod recovery " is successful but my phone still be bricked. Have try to return to stock GJH-78 BUT STILL NOT WORK.
Can anyone help me to bring back to live my phone, thank you.
My phone is G-i9020.
i found that ODIN was the best way to get my phone back from being bricked.
The rootboot at nexushacks also did that to my phone so dont use it.

If you have the Sprint Nexus S 4G, try the instructions in this thread. Let me know if it works.

I think the problem is that you flashed a boot image that is not compatible with your phone. First, determine if you have the I9020- A, T, or F.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031760 You need to find a post with the stock files for your model, and extract the boot.img. Then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(If anyone else has the exact same model as him, could you do a nandroid backup and post your boot.img?)
You may need to flash your phone via adb. That's if you can't get into clockwork, there are many threads on how to do this.

Ok I will try to find out the boot.img and reflash again and let y guy know how it work. Thx all for helping.
Hi, same problem here , i have the i9020A version in white.

Ok man I found my boot.img so I will flash mine tonight if it work I will post this for you. Let see hah. We are on the same boat, two noobs is always better than one.

hi man go to here and you will find http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065720&highlight=stock+at+google+pagethe solution. i did this it work for me.
Greetings.
It doesn´t boot.
First details:
Galaxy Fit rooted and 2.3.4 Gingerbread (worked fine)
I downloaded rom-manager and wanted to change to custom roms.
So far.
As I tried to install clockwork I found this in your forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
and did everything exactly written there
then restartet, started rom-manager and chose the first option (Clockworkthingy).
As there was a choice of the device, I didn´t find my device and chose the last in list (which did´t work and then I picked the first in list and accepted.
downloaded syanogen 7.0 and after download and backup-chose it told me it would reset and start in recovery ... that was the last I´ve seen from my galaxy ...
Is it broken now.
Please help!
note: tried to start recovery with vol+, home and power as well as usual way to start it. without success
Come on. Some of you Guys are able for sure to tell me, if it is hopeless or there IS something I can do to get it working again.
I know nearly nothing about Smartphones and stuff so
Please!

Sorry to say that your phone is bricked.
First, rom manager doesn't support your device.
Second, you are an idiot that you selected unknown device from list to make it work.
Third, the thread doesn't have any tutorial about rom manager it is CWM that is meant to be flashed using odin.
Fourth, I probably this is hard brick and nothing can be done.
IN MY VIEW GO TO THE SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER AND TELL THEM THAT YOU LEFT YOUR FOR CHARGING OVERNIGHT AND ITS NOT BOOTING.
THEY WILL SURELY HELP FOR FREE AS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID AND THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE REASON.
Thank you for your honesty.
Your phone still can be fix up. Your phone not brick yet.. Your phone might get bricked if it running out of battery during flashing, like a half way flashing, then you are in the worse case scenario.
Recovery mode unavailable? Forget about recovery since it has been.broken. What important now is to get access to download mode by pressing vol down + power + home key. If you can access download mode, then your phone can be fixed in 5min.
Read this, before you go any further, if you sure that you already successfully flashed any rom before it went brick. Just do this simple step, for cm7, u need siyah kernel, go download (siyah 2.1.1 .tar)... Not .zip.
Remove your battery then put it back, get into download mode then flash siyah 2.1.1 with Odin 1.85.if your phone already flashed cyanogenmod7, then your phone should boot up and work properly.
If it doesnt work, click the link on my signature, follow all steps provided tp get back your to work as stock. Then start flashing again.
Ps : dont use backup, dont use romanager.

Thank you for your efforts neobirdrio, but as I wrote above, nothing works.
No combination with vol+ or - and the 2 other HW-Keys.
But if we are still in Topic, what exactly do I have to do with an intact Galaxy fit to flash it to a custom ROM.
What Custom ROMS would run with it?
Where Do I get the Newest Version?
And is it worth changing it?
I wanted something special, something faster than Gingerbread and (of course the original Froyo on it), including something needs less Space.
Could you advice me?

Still trying this out.
Did it in this way press three Keys, push batery in and so on ... One time on my netbook it came to life by meaning system told me, that it installs driver (seemed to be recognized right) and ODIN told, there is a connection. I started ODIN (which was prepared to do Gingerbread onto it) But it did nothing. I am not sure if I startet Odin with Adminrights, soooo ... Do now backup of the partition, put a much earlier backup on my PC and try it again (I am running out of PCs, so I simulate, that this is a new Computer )
I keep you informed.
Thanks again so far.
Tried it again, but it didn´come back to life
So Thanks to all ppl helped me.

It depends what device you have. Different things can cause different devices to brick. Usually a "bricked" device is caused by a bad kernel (more so by over clocking or overvolting), (If you have an HTC device) a bad HBoot, flashing a leak that is incomplete or flashing an update (RUU, Odin, whatever) for the wrong device, or flashing a package for the wrong device or one that is improperly coded.
You CANNOT brick your device by flashing custom roms and recoveries or anything like that, and permanent, unfixable, hard bricks are VERY rare and are usually because someone did something stupid.
If you're worried about installing a custom ROM or something, don't worry, it won't brick you.

Thank you so much for clarifying this to me...
I am not total beginner, i possess Galaxy GT-I9001, for 4 months and i installed CWM last week, with complications, i used Odin 4.03 what one guy instructed to me, beside 4.43. First 4.03 failed and my phone failed to boot, I was worrying i could lose the phone. Then i used 4.43 from the Wiki tutorial what fixed the things...
Now i want to Root the phone, so this previous experience scared me, now i am not confident about it so I used to ask here...
So to clarify:
- rooting
-CWM
-flashing - installing custom ROMS
in proper way and following instructions won't brick my phone?
Is it possible that the dev/alpha/beta ROM versions could brick my phone?
How hard brick happens I am interested?
Is soft brick always fixable?
Sorry for bothering with this stupid questions, I am just not too confident, and i don't wanna destroy the phone, i've got no money for another
Thanks again and sorry if bad English
bricked= corrupted bootloader
a really bricked phone is like "dead' and the only way to solve this problem is to flash a new-and-happy bootloader by hardware tools like Medusa jtag jig also you can't solve bricked phone by PC software if yo do so then your phone is not really bricked
I don't know anything about hard/soft bricked what's that ??
you can't brick a phone by flashing a beta rom if you don't touch bootloader but you can destroy or cause hardware damage by flashing a rom/kernel not made for your phone so that's very important to know !
to prevent bricking your phone:
1. never use a flashing tool not made for your phone
2.when flashing bootloader made for your phone only use a stable PC connection/cable and is better to use a laptop on battery
3.about ROM Manager :if you don't see your phone in list never use it to flash recovery/rom
rooting means to get root access this is like your Administrator account in Windows OS well, it happens because by default phones come out from manufacturer with root disabled to protect the phone and their business
CWM is a custom recovery in fact this is a little OS that works like Safe Mode in Windows it can help you to flash a rom/update/theme etc
CWM recovery is different compared to stock recovery because it gives you the chance to flash custom things to your phone I mean you have to give a package a digital signature in order to flash it to your phone and stock recovery is restrictive it allows you to flash only signed-by-manufacturer things like roms/updates/themes and here is the place where CWM comes it allows to flash self-signed packages
Follow tutorials and you won't brick your phone. Stick to your device forum. E.g ,Just because something worked on the galaxy ace doesn't mean you can use that tutorial on a galaxy mini.
Soft bricks can be fixed,those are just installation errors.

I was wondering how to remove CWM and to restore original recovery...
I suppose i have to flash my stock ROM, am i right?
Do i need to wipe all data before flashing my custom ROM, just to add i have 2.3.3 i only did CWM nothing else is changed.
One thing isn't clear, when I flash CWM is my stock ROM changed?

Why would you want to remove cwm? Its a custom recovery, without it you can't go custom. Use cwm to create a nand backup. To go back to stock recovery, you are correct, but make sure you have correct files etc in Odin. Pulling out your USB cable in Odin without completed will brick your phone, I know cuz I did it. The wrong files can do the same. CWM doesn't change the ROM, just the recovery. I have also heard of bricks from Samsung kies mini. Yes you need to wipe/ factory data reset when flashing a new ROM. If you are only updating a custom ROM, going from (ROM name) v 1.2 to (ROM name) v 1.3 it is not always necessary to do factory data reset but follow the instructions per developer of ROM/thread. Get root, put custom ROM on sd, in recovery make a nand backup, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory data reset, install zip from sd, reboot.
Also sometimes when flashing a ROM it might not boot first time. Don't panic, pull battery out/in 3 button to recovery, install zip again, reboot and enjoy.
Hope this helps....if so hit thanks button!

No,your stock rom is not changed,just your recovery. You'll need clockworkmod do install custom roms since stock recovery lacks the features needed to install non-manufacturer roms.
If you are concerned about altering your current rom,you can make a backup using clockworkmod recovery, and store it somewhere like your PC.
Yes,just to be safe, it is better to wipe data. Unless it's an update of the same rom which again, isn't always guaranteed. Just to be sure your safe,backup your apps and clear everything.
Clockworkmod is removed in the bootloader by swapping it out with something else(like amon-ra).

It is possible to reset the phone fully to stock. This removes clockworkmod recovery and your custom rom and allows you to claim warranty. So far only Sony is the one I'm aware void your warranty permanently if you unlock your bootloader using their 'official' method. They keep you on record,so even if you relock it you're outside warranty.

You didn't tell me how to reset phone fully to stock
I am assuming you haven't started playing with your phone.
Dial *#1234# and write down the three ID Strings PDA, CSC & PHONE ID
They'll be useful later. Just for paranoia, use adb to save your IMEI details (adb is for windows PC's don't worry)
Install Samsung Keis in same PC. Make sure it recognises your phone. Always check this before running Odin.
Always do a full backup (apps, data,settings) before resetting to stock or just any flashing.
Odin will install custom roms on your phone,and it will also take you back to stock if need arises. This is done by 'flashing' stock rom into your phone.
You can follow this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345671
Where the rom is the stock one. You can get the right one here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=2 Clockworkmod and root access will be lost.(those come with custom roms,don't worry)
When using Odin, a few tips,
1.always run as administrator (right click on icon>run as administrator)
2.Odin runs better without sim card and SD card. You can take them out before entering download mode
3.NEVER EVER interrupt a flashing process,its a guaranteed soft brick.It takes about 10 minutes. If you're impatient, walk away. Also for paranoia,better to have a ups.
4. Perform factory reset before and after flashing. * Menu* Settings* Privacy* Factory data reset* Reset phone& Erase everything. Before and after.
If your rom doesn't boot try this

Hi There,
I am in a crisis situation here. I have owned this Karbonn A1+ for about 10 months now. Never attempted anything as I dont use it majorly. Recently I rooted it with Z4root. It was successfull.
Later as i was going through the forums about Karbonn, found that there is a custom ROM (Xperia ROM) for it and hence went ahead in trying the same. Since then, the phone will not go beyond the Karboon Logo. I tried various methods by trying to flash the stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279278
Even that didnt help. Screen is stuck at checking Baudrate but does nothings even after 30 min and I still have Karbonn logo on phone. then I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405153
When I tried that the phone goes beyond the logo and gives a white screen and thats it. when i press the power button the screen goes off and on. so i am guessing the phone booted to OS but not giving me any thing to work on.
Meantime I learned how to create custom ROM. I built one but even that doesnt help as I am again stuck at the Karbonn Logo.
Presently I am able to go to CWM ver 6.0.3
The phones H/W ver is 4.0.0 and the S/W version is 1.0.6
Can somebody help me with the flashable version of Stock Rom or the Backup....

All you have to do (given your situation) is perform a complete wipe (using a custom recovery: in your case, CWM) before trying to install anything. Remember, you need to install the specified/correct Kernel to work with a given ROM.

Hi Jay, My apologies if my previous statement sounded like a teenager. this thing is just driving me crazy as i never had any issues with other phones. i have rooted Motorola, samsung, htc and never faced any issues like this.
what you are saying about kernal totally makes sense, however i was under the impression that boot.img may contain this already and tried putting that file in the ROM and flashed it when it didnt work for first time. which again didnt help much. if you know how kernals works.

The problem is not on your behalf mate; it's just that the ROM you obtained didn't come with all the necessary/correct files. I also presume Karbonn is not a very big company (I've personally never heard of it), and it's immediately obvious that there are not many developers that are working on this device - probably why you can't find any proper ROMs, kernels etc.
I guess I'm not really helping you in any way and I'm sorry about that - I don't know of any ROMs or kernels for your device. When I first replied to your thread, I was under the impression that you had that covered. However, I can say, loosely, that there are two main types of kernels - one type for proprietary OEM ROMs, and the other type for AOSP ROMs. Most custom ROMs are based on AOSP (I am under the impression that the ROM you obtained is too), so OEM kernels will not work these ROMs. I really hope this helps, in the future at least, if not now.
Hi Max, any update?

The problem is not on your behalf mate; it's just that the ROM you obtained didn't come with all the necessary/correct files. I also presume Karbonn is not a very big company (I've personally never heard of it), and it's immediately obvious that there are not many developers that are working on this device - probably why you can't find any proper ROMs, kernels etc.
I guess I'm not really helping you in any way and I'm sorry about that - I don't know of any ROMs or kernels for your device. When I first replied to your thread, I was under the impression that you had that covered. However, I can say, loosely, that there are two main types of kernels - one type for proprietary OEM ROMs, and the other type for AOSP ROMs. Most custom ROMs are based on AOSP (I am under the impression that the ROM you obtained is too), so OEM kernels will not work these ROMs. I really hope this helps, in the future at least, if not now.

I had a link of your solutions but its not working.
you should search for your backup if it is successfully done.
because your sw version is 1.0.6 and xperia rom is based on 2.0.2.
so the your old kernel is not accepting new rom.
so you should try link given by zerocool.( I was going to provide you the same link)
Its best rom until now. I have no issues with it. Just replace the kernel and bootloader to your kernel from your nandroid backup.
But since you dont have one, you should try it whole as it is.

So it was a Kernel issue after all. I hope JadhavN finds what he is looking for. :good:

Hi Jay, thanks for following up :good:
There is nothing left to extract from your phone since you have flashed everything from that backup rom. :banghead:
Now there is only one way to search for older roms, extract bootloader and kernel, replace in that rom and try to restore.
You can start from google.
There are some old files in karbonn a1+ wiki post, you can try them.
Also dont forget to replace recovery file to your working cwm recovery.

is there no1 who has the backup of flashable stock ROM??
How do you start to cwm

Hi There,
I am in a crisis situation here. I have owned this Karbonn A1+ for about 10 months now. Never attempted anything as I dont use it majorly. Recently I rooted it with Z4root. It was successfull.
Later as i was going through the forums about Karbonn, found that there is a custom ROM (Xperia ROM) for it and hence went ahead in trying the same. Since then, the phone will not go beyond the Karboon Logo. I tried various methods by trying to flash the stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279278
Even that didnt help. Screen is stuck at checking Baudrate but does nothings even after 30 min and I still have Karbonn logo on phone. then I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405153
When I tried that the phone goes beyond the logo and gives a white screen and thats it. when i press the power button the screen goes off and on. so i am guessing the phone booted to OS but not giving me any thing to work on.
Meantime I learned how to create custom ROM. I built one but even that doesnt help as I am again stuck at the Karbonn Logo.
Presently I am able to go to CWM ver 6.0.3
The phones H/W ver is 4.0.0 and the S/W version is 1.0.6
Can somebody help me with the flashable version of Stock Rom or the Backup....
Sorry for a Verbose thread, I tried to be as clear as I can....
