Infinite Booting

I just flashed the CyanogenMod 7 MusicEdition_v1.1 and my phone has been stuck in an infinite booting loop
please help!

Damn bro, stop flashing roms from guys that are porting for the first time.
Try to put your SD Card on other phone and put a zip file of a rom, Creeds ROM or FITDroid.

managed to install official 2.3.6 ROM

that rom had pretty good reviews
anyhow, is this one safe?

or this

(though i don't like FITDroid much)

just flash it over cm7.1 that worked for me
flash this first :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324190
and then flash your cm7.1 music edition

do i flash the OC kernel first or the ROM?

You must flash the rom, then the kernel. And before you flash the kernel don't forget to mount system in advanced (CWM Recovery).

follow the instructions on link i gave u u dont have to flash kernel its not necessary just flash rom from link above and after that flash cm7 music edition i had same problem and this worked for me

k thanks
i'll give it a try

[Q] I9003 bricked

Can someone help me....(sorry for my bad english) today i traid to flash [ROM][LF2][15.10.2012]TheFrankenstain^MODv.3.8 #1 after that it was keep loading at the" android" logo so i tried to flash it again...but now it is stuck at the samsung logo and volume up + lock+ home (recovery) now work anymore
Did someone know how i can flash it again without recovery?
PLSSS HELP

-Removed for Personal Information-

i think it is not bricked, it is just a bootloop. check if your downloaded rom is complete. beter redownload the rom and flash it. follow the instructions on flashing on that thread and you will have no problem. flash a stock rom first using odin then flash the custom rom afterwards

Ok thx guys...and i have 1 more question ...there is a diference if i flash stock and after that i flash custom? is smoother or faster or idk...?
i saw in some printscreens that they get high quadrant score but mine is max 2300MAX ever

it is always advisable to do a clean flash ( stock rom first before custom rom). but some custom roms have the option to directly flash from one custom rom to another. everything here is trial and error. so whatever works for you may or may not work to others.

[Q] what happened?

DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :​
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?​
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?​
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?​
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?​
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?

1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

Galaxy Fit recovery problem, please help!!!!!!!

hello i am new to xda and just created a thread for help about my problem. I flashed razodroid v4 one day and thought of flashing jb 4.2.2 touchwiz rom. I flashed it and it worked fine for some days, then i thought of flashing sd-ext patch and it also worked fine with my ext4 sd card.
one day when i was tired of my slow phone, i installed the badass kernel and it installed succesfully and worked for some hours.....
after that the phone turned off suddenly and never went on always went to the text Galaxy Fit GT-S5670 and then nothing..
then i flashed the froyo official stock rom from odin it worked fine but there the recovery was showing the following problem and i was not able to flash any rom from recovery from that day.....
plzzz help me from this problem i want to upgrade to android 4.3 i am now having the gingerbread stock dxkt7 that i flashed from odin.

Reflash latest 2.3.6 [Gingerbread] firmware using odin --> Wipe everything --> Flash CWM --> Flash your desired ROM following all instructions perfectly..It should solve all problems..
Btw why you had flashed froyo firmware..?

The certain errors u r seeing in cwm recovery will disappear when u flash ny custom rom. They r only visible under samsung official stock rom.
Edit: & do format /system b4 flashing custom rom for the 1st time over stock otherwise u will get hanged at the android-text/boot-up screen forever...remember that..!!

no luck yet!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Bro!! Now I saw ur SS carefully (by zooming). Don't use this recovery by dany... Always use cwm recovery by tjstyles v5.0.2.7.
Now it should definitely work coz I have it already...:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!!

not working.....
thanks for the reply but i did flashed it with cwm 5 by tj styles before.......
and it is not rebooting.
only able to flash through odin....

problem solved!!!!!!
problem is solved now
