Hello there!
Im new to this forum, thou ive used some stuff from it before.
So, i got tired of my ICS o3d.. Too many problems with apps and other stuff.
And now ive tried to flash JB 4.2.2 to it.
Worked fine throu the flash, but stucks in bootloop on first boot.
And now i cant even do sh*t with my phone. Cant even get into recovery.
So, im not noob on flashing/rooting and all that. Been doing it for some years now.
But never got a bootloop like this one before.
How do i fix this?
EDIT:
Sometimes when i try to get into recovery (by pressing vol - button) it asks me if i wanna do a hard factory reset. And ive done that now two times. Still stucks on bootloop.
solved
Sorry for doubleposting.
But, i managed to save the phone.
OMAPflash + LGflashtool = unbrick
thanks to the man who invented them things.
Sulotion here:
[GUIDE] [P920/5] [SU760] Resurrection Guide (Lets get those brick's fixed...)
Friggin' awesome.
Now i only need to flash for JB again hope for not brick it again.
So..
the rom itself runs fine. No 3D anyhow.
But, my IMEI got lost.
And i cant fix it. Help needed!
Feels like im flooding the **** out of this thread. Sry for that.
BUT..
i managed to get my IMEI back.
I did a recovery with LGmobile Support Tool. And then i got bootloop from hell.
So i go back to the whole unbricking procedure.
And thank god it worked.
Too bad im back on 2.3.5 now. Want 4+.
Maby its for the best to stay on 2.3..

im very inexperienced.... VERY!...lol well i rooted using the v8 all in one method. fooling around with rom manager, i hit back up current rom while i was downloading one. went to reboot and not past lg screen. tried the power/ vol down recovery and deleting.... would still stop at lg screen. is there any hope? stupid question...... im have a capped plan, so i got stuck while downloading, could it still be downloading? basically pertaining to overages
Reflash Kernel!
Yeah, happened to me once, too!
The problem could be, that you are using a wrong kernel.
Try to reflash the original kernel and the standard rom of your phone and start over again!
And for the next time:
Read the threads CAREFULLY before flashing! This prevents errors and bricking.
Good Luck

the thing is i didnt't "flash" a rom. i just downloaded something within rom manager and it happened while backing up current rom. now how do i go about fixing it. im not really sure how. thanks in advance
please help
All I can tell you is...as long as you can see something, a blinking screen, a logo, anything, there is still hope. Where you using the phone or some PC based software?
i was using the rom manager. i just need help getting this thing stock. dont care about deleting anything. just want it to work, thank you in advance
i think my only problem is getting the vs910.dll to work... dont know what version. i had latest ota update
My phone bricked about a month ago. Now unbricked, it's giving me problems. It's super slow and the menu buttons on the bottom won't work. It lights up but that about it. Any ideas on a fix?

I may be more inexperienced than yourself, but I'm sure anyone trying is a relief. Are you stock or rooted? What are you running? That all makes a difference. If you're on stock Froyo and don't want to root, I'd suggest getting it upgraded to Gingerbread ASAP, at the very least. Have you tried to do a complete data wipe and restore to stock? That's scary if you have a lot of stuff stored on the phone, but you can back it all up (there's threads giving instructions how). If you're rooted, how about trying a different rom?
I'm sorry if none of these suggestions help, but your answers will probably help the more experienced members help you, at the very least.
I flashed numerous ROMS. For some reason it bricked and when i used gtg's unbrick it unbricked it but phone is now running super slow and the bottons dont work. I did all the recovery options but still nothing.

Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
I tried to install this ROM in my SE Xperia Ray ST18i. I followed the instructions, but for some reason I got stuck at the Sony logo, during boot. Fortunately, I was able to restore the phone with SEUS, as suggested here. I tried the whole procedure again, but this time I unlocked the bootloader. Again, the phone was stuck during boot with the Sony logo. To my horror, I wasn't able to restore the phone with SEUS this time. I think this is because I unlocked the bootloader?
So, I tried to flash a stock-rom, I downloaded here, as suggested by someone with a similar problem, here. But without success. No matter what rom I try, flashtool will give errors and not be able to flash any downloaded stockrom.
Right now I'm left with a bricked phone. And I'm afraid it's horribly messed up. Is there any way to revive it? Any help would be very much appreciated, obviously.
I managed to get it working again, thanks to the instructions in this video.
Yes, it was one of the first hits when googeling bricked xperia ray. I admit it, I'm a stupid n00b.
But I don't care right now, because I got it working again! :victory:
Now, lets see if the third attempt to install Iced Bean 3 will work, or really mess up my phone for good.
I managed to flash Iced Bean 3. This time the phone booted without any trouble at all. I think the reason it didn't work the first 2 tries, was that I didn't format /system, /cache and /data. So far, I like this rom a lot. :good:
Hi i'm totally lost. I like to unlock the phone . I want to downgrade to Marschmallow using Flash tool. I'm totally stuck at : please wait until the end of the process... Looked up everything i could find but everytime it's back. Am i to unpatient or....i guess i need help. Please somebody.
I'm not an expert but definitely not a noob, flashing since the last 8 years but i cant get past this problem.
Thanks in advance for the solution, so i can go on to root/flash other roms.
