If someone could help I would appreciate it.

I don't want to change them, I just want the original boot up/start up. I tried a rom and then went back to stock and my start up is not original.
ooo ok... what rom and what exactly is not original ?

I tried Syndicate, which I liked but I'am a fan of the stock feel.
Epic Experience wouldn't install
Installed Asop
Then I went to my backup I made of My stock Rom just to see if everything works right.
What is not original is when you boot into your phone/power on you see the sprint logo and S galaxy logo. Well and image of a flashing Android Banner keeps flashing/popping up on the intros, but not on outro/shuntdown.
hmmm have u checked for a bootanimation.zip? thats kinda what it sounds like b/c i heard that were able 2 use a bootanimation.zip but something has 2 be changed in (i think) the init.rc file.... worse case scenario just flash back 2 stock
No I haven't, where can i get the zip from?
i mean from installing one of the roms it might have installed a bootanimation.zip (im not 100%)
So what do I have to do?
I would try flashing with odin 2 fully stock and that should bring everything back

What type of backup did you make? The nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery does not backup the kernel.
You may need to install the stock kernel.
IMHO, the best thing is probably to flash the stock image using odiin & then root / install Clockwork Recovery (or whatever you used for backup) so you can restore your data.
You can then be sure you are starting from original stock ROM & kernel.

You need to follow the instructions for How To Return To stock at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
You probably then want root & install CWM by following the
Epic 4G All in One Root and Recovery instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103

So I was trying to uninstall the OCLF V1+ from my I9003. I was looking around the forum, then I found out that I had to delete a file in system/bin playlogo and reboot after that go back into OCLF and hit restore boot animation and I will be able to remove the lag fix. I removed playlogo from system/bin. Unfortunately, when I was rebooting my phone, it kept looping at the Samsung logo and would not go into the lock screen like how it does every time I reboot it.
Note: I am still able to go into clockworkmod(CWM) recovery and download mode.
Please help me! This the the first android phone I have and will probably be the only one that I can afford.
Help will be very much appreciated. Any other tips will also be appreciated. Thanks.
Do u have back of os with help of CWM??? If not then u have to reflash with ur stock rom.

Dont worry dude.. Its no biggie.. Just like vishal said if you have backed uo your firmware tgen u can restore it through cwm.. If not you can always reflash it.. Search the forum for flashing i9003..
do not use the restore boot animation in oclf.. The paylogos it will restore is for i9000 not for i9003..

its not difficult do a nandroid restore or flash with ODIN.
u can also try clearing cache..
I did backup in the external sd card but when they said backup completed, I rebooted into my phone and saw that my external sd card has totally no free space at all, I was afraid that the backup was not complete and that they said backup complete only because there is no more free space on the external sd card.
So can I use the backup?

Try to use the restore option.. It will automatically lead you to a folder that contains the backup.. If not it will say no files..

What I mean is that the backup I did was not complete. Maybe it was just 3/4 complete then due to the lack of space in external sd card it was not complete.
Thanks for your quick reply.

Hmmm.. You should just flash your phone to your stock firmware(if you remember) or to other firmwares I.e xxkb3 w/c is widely used here

Which firmware is the best for our phone. And i downloaded the firmware for my phone but it only has one file. how do i flash it with odin then? the fw version is dxkb2, if i am not wrong.

Many of us used xxkb3 because alot of themes were modified for kb3.. I also have dxkb2 as a stock rom.. Just flash it in pda and dont check repartition.. In other words open odin then select the single file in pda and don't use the latona file.. Make sure you are in download mode..

It's compatible with one another? This is a first Thanks for the info part. I was thinking if i had to reflash to stock incase I had to repair the phone. Least now i know why DXKB2 only had PDA.

Yes part.. When I sent my phone to service center I flashed to dxkb2 (although they didn't checked it because they only checked for hardware).. When you flash it the pda phone and csc will be changed to your stock dxkb2.. Hope it helped
Edit: part, did u mean that is it compatible if u use dxkb2 as pda and xxkb3 as phone and csc? I think not.. But if you want to flash back to stock dxkb2 you can and the phone pda and csc will be changed to stock even if it has only one file

Thx everyone i have already flashed back to dxkb2. It worked now i just have to redownload my 200++ apps(very tedious). Are there any other tips?? Should I apply lag fix again, will it be of alot of help? Should I also flash cwm? Is the risk of bricking(anytype of malfunction such as soft bricking or boot screen looping etc.) flashing cwm very high?
Thanks guys.

You should have backed up using TB Then you could have restored all 200 in 1 go
Thanks, but it would also be better if you could provide me with answers to my questions.
Thanks again.

Bro not only me but every member will recommend u to flash CWM for high level safety. You can backup whole rom as it is. Even if ur phone gets bricked dont worry bro...with restore option from CWM will restore everything. U will feel that nothing was happened to ur phone.
NEVER use lag fix!!! Its an head ache.
Hope u got ur answer.
U can use titanium backup as mentioned by misledz if u flash your phone then u can restore all as it was previous
Thanks guys.

Hello everyone. Merry Christmas! Well i left my phone on my bed and left it on bloatware removal. Sister wanted to come a game. didnt know how to get to the game press buttons and gone. No more tw launcher. Calls come in and out as well and messages. I rooted my phone with superoneclick. I thought i recover my phone. well i know i did. But i cant find the file. What should i do. I was thinking about using odin 1.7 and put [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root and see if that works. Hopefully that would put it back to normal. Or put gingerbread 2.3.3. I was wondering if anyone have fix this problem or have solved it. Any information help. Thank and have a wonderful day.
Factory reset?

Merry Christmas to you! Unfortunately, this sucks for a Christmas gift!
You will need to flash another ROM to restore everything. Maybe you can try pushing it through adb.
The easier way would be to flash a new ROM over it, although you would lose all your data.
You can flash over any Froyo ROM to fix it, since they all have a launcher built into them.
The same applies for GB, but if you're moving from Froyo to GB, you will need the bootloaders from the leaks or the official.
Everything can be found through the forum, so good luck!
I can create a cwm flashable that will restore tw for you.
Just let me know what ROM you are on and what your email address is.

what would you would be better. Flash it to gingerbread or go back to the old thing. When i have it on recovery. I dont have the option to look in my sd card. When i was in recover second time, before i could press anything. The android man pop up with a ! right next to him. i was like uh ooohhh. How do you do a factory reset. Would that work even tho my phone is rooted?
@jager555 If i get that cwm from yea. How would i put it in my phone. I got to put it in download mode?
Power down the phone and use the 3 button combo. Can you get into cwm?

Hello. Yea man i tried. I guess im not that good with this crap. I am some what of a noob. Cmw? That german to me. I have went to usb mode. And what i see in the clockwork mod folder a recovery check point. But when i go to recovery mood i cant get to it. The only option i have in this mode is. REboot system now,
reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data. that is it. no factory reset nothing. I used superoneclick to help me root it. im still on froyo. If i do a kies mini upgrade. you think that would help. Or just use odin and put a different rom. Thank you for helping me man

Well the problem i was having when tw launcher went missing. I found a way to fix it so i can have my icon again. When one of my apps were due for a up date. i was able to make it to the android market. From there i was able to download either adw launcher or ex launcher. After i install ex launcher. I was able to open it through the Android market. And bang. It went into effect. And bang i didnt have a black screen anymore. Icon where there. I dont know what type of side effects will cause. but i will out after a few days of use. This is only a temporary till i grew some ball to change to gingerbread rom. lol For i am a noob. and trying to understand it a lil more. What are the benefit of gingerbread? One major benefit for me is getting my launcher bak. Well I hope this help someone out there. Hopefully i able to change roms in the future. Thank you for reading This and have a happy new year.

I do NOT care about my root, I do NOT care about my data I just really want this to be fixed, I'm almost crying, I have no idea what to do, all i wanted was a custom battery so i downloaded one, loaded it into some app called metamorph and it said it was all good but when i restarted my phone the notification bar was gone.

I tried restoring my phone to factory settings, wiping my memory card as if that would do anything. please help it's all I ask!
Hi there, I have had this problem before. I am no dev so I can't explain the technical issue, but this usually happens when you flash a mod that's not compatible with your ROM... if its compatible and your ROM has updated, the mod sometimes needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of your ROM.
Reflashing your ROM will completely fix the issue. I hate to say it, but ALWAYS do backups before flashing anything through recovery!!!

He's not rooted it seems. You first need to calm down. Then, go to settings -> About phone and see what build you have. If it's 2.20 then go here. If it's 1.73 or 1.82 go here. If it's 1.85 then go here. Once rooted, if you have anything but 2.20 you won't need to flash the boot.img seperately. In order to flash the boot.img go here.

Is there possibly a way to revert to the original through "metamorph"? Most tweaks or apps like this only work on certain devices, so check the reviews or description more thoroughly if it doesn't say your device.

That happened to me on my old LG G2X. I tried to do something similar with a different program. It was messing with SystemUI.apk. I had created a backup before it did its work so I just replaced it, rebooted and it was fine. Might not be the same problem just because the symptoms are similar. If you had an unmodified SystemUI.apk file you could probably just overwrite it. Worst case, just flash a new ROM.
But yeah, in the future always take backups before you do anything like that. I learned that the hard way a few times.
