[Q] Galaxy S wont start after lag fix

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.

[Q] Stock Boot Loop Need Help

Ok I have searched and found no answer to the problem I am having. So hopefully someone can help me out since there are alot of very intelligent people on here. So here is what im experiencing... I recently modded my phone to the CM10.1 and used it for a while and it was very nice to have but there were a few issuse that botherd me and im not complaining very good work. The thing that was bothering me was the audio glitch. I listen to music all the time and no matter what I used ie. IHeart Radio, Pandora, or my own audio files the audio was just to glitchy for me so I decided to flash it back to stock using Odin. Everything went great in that respect but now at random points my phone just shuts off and then goes into a boot loop with the samsung logo. Now I can get it to stop by pressing the power button a few times and it stops and boots right up as normal. It almost seems like it does it when I have a few things going on at the same time like listening to music and texting but i cant pin point what it actually making it do this. I also notice that I can have a full battery and once it boot loops sometimes the battery is the same and sometimes it comes back showing next to nothing. Just today it went from 100% battery, went to the boot loop, got it to boot back up but now the battery is at 11%. I have been dealing with this for a few days now and was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem and if so does anyone know of a solution? I thougth about flashing back to stock again using Odin but I dont want to mess the phone up even more. Thanks for your time.

You might have a bad flash or download.I'd try doing the 3 wipes and flash again it won't hurt it.I have had mine do some strange stuff before doing this always fixed my problems.Good luck.

Your intentions are good, but I think that all will be better served with a brand new thread. Otherwise, it gets confusing who's symptoms we're talking about. It might help to describe what you see when you try to use Odin. (And describe if you can get to recovery mode and to download mode.)

I had a hell of a time but I think I finally got it. I first formatted the internal and external SD cards. I flashed back to stock using Odin and did that about 3 times. Everything worked. But was having a problem with the Google play store I couldn't download any apparently I kept getting an error so I cleared the data and cache from the play store and the Google framework and rebooted the phone. I have been testing it out all day and so far no problems. I will keep posted of any changes problems... thanks again

Motorola Backflip wont boot or either charge

Hi.
I found my old Backflip yesterday and decided to use it as a bluetoot-keyboard. Since the original ROM was so out of date, I decided to flash a bootloader and flash CM. So I flashed the recovery, flashed CM. Rebooted, phone started booting, but as soon as it was showing "ANDROID" on the screen, it went off and started over. I was able to get back to the recovery, so I wiped it again and flashed CM again, same. Now it's even worse: The battery is dead, the phone can't power up by itself, only works with the wall-adapter. Even hooked up to my computer, only the light around the port flashes up.
Can someone help me pls?
Cheers!

I agree with him it sounds like your battery has issues. Although it could be somewhere in the flashing something went wrong. (doubt it)

Constant rebooting

I have the cricket model. Sometime last night my phone started rebooting on every ROM and kernel. Nothing I do will get it to stop. It doesn't happen in TWRP and that's it. I thought maybe it was a battery issue as I haven't been able to fully charge it because of this issue but that's not helping either. I've been trying to use the upgrade tool but in this state the computer never even recognizes the phone and I can't even get that far, plus it reboots even when in download mode. I'm about to call cricket and see if they can just send me a new one since I've only had it a week but is there anything I can do? Does anyone have a boot IMG for complete stock 60450 ?!? EDIT: Got the tool to recognize phone and start process but what do ya know phone reboots even deep into download mode. It just always wants to restart to the system for some reason, except for when on twrp. UPDATE:EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.

it looks like motherboard is gone. I hope you can return it when you have custom rom installed.

I've had the phone for one week lol. Motherboard is gone? Could something be messed up in build prop somewhere? I did try to use a DPI changer app on stock rom once or maybe xposed? I've done a lot of flashing since I got it trying to find the perfect setup. I just noticed that the USB cable it came with is crap so now that I'm using a different one I'm hoping that low discalobrated battery was the issue. Charging it up proper and gonna see what happens after. Also for some strange reason the Flyme OS ROM is the only one that doesent seem to want to restart as often. It still does but it lasts a lot longer before doing so , why idk lol.

turn off the phone, charge it fully and then run the upgrade tool to go back to stock.

I wasnt previously able to corectly charge becauss when i would turn the phone off to charge it wpuld power up instead of gking to the charging acreen. I think the USB cable that came with the phone might have been faulty and I just didn't notice it somehow. Now that I've charged the phone to 50% Flyme is up and running without a reboot, although running quite hot....which could also be the issue. Maybe the metal on the USB tip got toasted. That would explain my reboots in download mode but it doesent explain why the phone never once rebooted on me while in twrp and why it would reboot even while not being charged and had like 30%. Gonna charge it up to 100 and try the tool again.

if you can boot to flyme, and got no reboots in TWRP i suggest you flash from TWRP your previously mad ebackup..if you dont have any, just flash stock kernel or look here in threads, there was a thread and it contains TWRP backup of stock rom..if you find TWRP backup of your STOCK 6045O then flash it from TWRP, and if you dont observe nay reboots, it was due to the kernel. IF it still reboots send it to warranty repair.

Well I'm back on CM now with no reboots. I guess my USB cable just sucked and my battery calibration was off so the battery was showing more than it actually had and probably causing instability. However, I still can't get the tool to work. It just reboots at around 22% exiting me out of download mode. BTW I've searched and scowled almost every thread and I can't find a stock kernel. There's the arde one but I thought that was just his custom kernel for stock. And the twrp back up I definitely can't find. I seen the thread but there was no link.

If it was the USB cable why is mobile upgrade tool rebooting the device at 22%? It makes no sense. It could be the pins on the usb socket on the phone or i dont know.
You should ask someone with the 6045O device to send you the boot.img (aka kernel) of stock 6045O.

Well I first noticed my cable was funky when I loaded up Flyme it kept making an unplug sound and I thought it was just the ROM glitching out but I changed the cable and it stopped. About the tool......I have a Windows tablet that it's only USB connection is one of those mini USB to full adapters and it's a little loose. I have zero problems with it plugging my phone into it for file transfer or for adb, it's all fine there so idk why it would be causing an issue with the tool, last time I tried it k specifically made sure all connections were sturdy and didn't move the whole time and it still rebooted. I noticed somebody in one of the threads said his device did the same thing though and that's why he couldn't use the tool as well......nobody ever replied to him lol

Ahh I spoke to soon. Restored my stock, because that's what I prefer for even at OC it still doesent make the phone nearly as hot as CM ROMs and the restarts came right back even with a decent charged battery. I'm back on CM again though and its not happening. Doesent make much sense because before the restarts were happening across all ROMs. It can't be the kernel in my stock restore as I had used it a bunch of times before with no issues...... Though it is saved on my external SD..... But so is the cm build I'm using. Idk whats going on here. Just wanna return the phone to full stock and call it a day lol. Edit: spoke to soon again lol. There goes CM rebooting, although it took way longer than stock to do so.

LG G3 Bootloop

Hi guys. I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 D850 and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's stuck in a bootloop. I've tried just about everything but nothing works. I'm able to access both recovery and download mode, but every time I exit it, I just get thrown into another bootloop. Strangely, I didn't do anything to the phone recently, and it was working absolutely fine minutes before I noticed the bootloop.
First thing I tried was wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM. I am rooted and was running a Marshmallow distro of Resurrection Remix, with TWRP 3.0 (I think) running my recovery. I booted into TWRP and cleared everything, reinstalling the ROM. Didn't work. Okay, so maybe the ROM is to blame. Tried some different versions, still nothing.
I then tried flashing stock firmware using download mode, and kept getting errors at the beginning of the LG flash tool utility. After switching USB ports, it started working. However, after about 30 minutes, it would fail, and I would get a message saying it couldn't communicate with the device. I tried this multiple times to no avail.
Eventually, I ended up running the program one last time and left it for a couple hours. When I got back to check it, I was super relieved because the phone had apparently successfully been flashed back to stock firmware. Keep in mind this process usually only takes 4-8 minutes, whereas my phone took hours to get it done.
Finally, I booted the device, full of hope. NOPE. Bootloop again. I tried resetting it using the volume down combo, but it stays in a bootloop every time.
I am running out of options and getting desperate, and I really don't wanna fork out the cash for another phone if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

When flashing an AT&T choosing that will make the phone boot into mini OS then you'll select reset/restart and it should boot unless there's an hardware issue

It says download failed at 517 seconds. "We can't communicate with phone." Meanwhile, the phone is back at 0%. Should I leave it for a couple hours like I did the one time it actually worked?

Yes. However, I'm not sure if I was able to manually boot into download mode or the phone automatically did it. I did pull the battery before connecting the phone, and I did hold volume up. I just don't know if I physically put it into download mode myself.

New issue. Got to about 89% when I get an "fboot fail" error message. My phone is bootlooping again.
