[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M keeps rebooting

Here's my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M that keeps rebooting after trying to install a custom recovery so that I can root it.
What I did
I followed the steps (1 to 11), of Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S mentioned in the following page:
wiki,cyanogenmod,org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
After that, I simply unplugged the usb, there were no errors, and removed the battery and now what I get is the simply that my device reboots after the boot logo. IF I hold down volume + home + power I can boot in download mode. However, I cannot boot in recovery or in normal mode !
Here's a video of what it is doing youtube,com/watch?v=Wie9eZYyECw
What I have tried
Removing the battery and reboot the cellphone
I tried to redo step 7, heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot, but I still got the same error

If that doesn't work, can I return to the default recovery (if that exist) and if yes, how can I do that ?

Ok ok. I have two questions for that, first, do you know where I can find the stock rom. And secondly, can I do that via download mode since it is the only thing I can access ?

me176c(same intel Bay Trail Z3745 and simular spec) has firmware in asus website, but me181c don't. so, i cannot do anything

I don't know if the OP fixed his boot issue, but I wanted to post my experience with this tablet. I tried to root using RootZenFone 1.4.2 and it failed. Found a newer version 1.4.5r so I uninstalled 1.4.2. Then disaster struck. Now, keep in mind, I copy my downloads to my SD card and delete them from the device in case I need the files again or I brick the device and have to return it.
I went ahead a rebooted and ended up with the No Command and the dead Android. Holding the Volume Up while pressing power put me into fastboot, so I tried to do a recovery from there. No dice, same No Command. I tried simply powering off and tried again. Still either No Command or just Fastboot. While in fastboot, I tried to use Kango to root (Hoping it'd fix whatever damage RootZenFone did) and kept getting NeedADB errors. Obviously I couldn't turn on USB debugging.
Then, I decided one last ditch effort before I took the tablet back to best buy (Technically I hadn't voided the warranty since it never did root and attempting to root would be virtually impossible to detect since no files were left on the device - they're on my SD card). I powered off the tablet. While the tablet was still plugged into my PC, I held BOTH the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and then pressed power. I got the typical ASUS logo, which I was getting before the No Command and Fastboot, but this time the tablet just sat there at that logo. I let it be for a few minutes while I took the dogs out. Maybe about 10 minuted. Suddenly, I heard the new device sound from my PC. it was installing the MTP driver! Looking at the tablet, it now had the Intel Inside logo (That I did not get while I was having boot issues) and about 45 seconds later the tablet is booted normally.
So, for what it's worth, I'd say hold both volume buttons as you power it on and see what happens.

Stock ROMs and Kernel Source for ME181C
Looks like we now have Stock ROMs and kernel source for ME181C on asus dot com at;
/uk/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_8_ME181C/HelpDesk_download/
I have model K011, which I think is ME181C.

needing help
First, i would like to say sorry i am not sure how i would post under the correct area. Just saw the reply so figured i would write here.
I have been doing research on how to fix my Trio Stealth-10 ( thought it was a 10.1 but now not sure) MST10-21. 16 gb.
I have done all the factory resets and erasing data and what not under the boot load (not sure if thats what it was called) but the one where i hold down the power button and the vol - did all that i can get my tablet to connect and do all i need it to but now it isnt downloading any aps under google play or updating them so i just have a factory tablet that i cannot add anything on. sometimes will seem like it tried to down load and will just say no internal storage or memory something like that has not said anything lately since i have tried today.
please break things down barney style for me as well i can do comp stuff sometimes but i will say all of you on this site are much smarter then me thanks for the help guys
oh if i can have someone tell me where to actually post this would be awesome

Asus ME181C k011 Bootloop Fix
I bit the bullet today and put this thing in a bootloop to test a restore method. Happy to say it worked. Here we go:
1. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2b47381cb37c/ADB.rar - This contains adb and fastboot if you don't already have them installed. This also contains the system image that we're going to use temporarily to get this thing restored.
2. Hook it up to your computer and load up Fastboot on the tablet (Volume+ and Power while booting. Let go of power after the logo shows up).
3. Flash the System image ( fastboot flash system system.img) followed by the boot image (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4. Reboot.
5. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392052 - Next, we're going to use a temp version of CWM-Recovery to reinstall firmware. Enable USB debugging, run launcher.bat, type "ACCEPT" and choose T3.
6. You'll auto reboot into CWM-Recovery. Grab the official firmware from the Asus site and install the zip from SD. Once complete, you'll need to reroot the device most likely. If you have a SuperSU zip, install it after you've restored the system.
You're done. This also opens us up for just about anything. Go play with your system. As long as you don't mess up your boot loader, this should save you.

Thanks so much RemmyLee
i just wanted to join and say thanks to RemmyLee.
i rooted my me181c and deleted a whole bunch of stuff i shouldn't.
i could get in to recovery but after that "No Command" screen it wouldn't do a thing. i followed RemmyLee's instructions up to step 4 and then did a reboot as told. Whereupon it found the extracted UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip on the root of my SD card and asked me to do an update which succeeded.
Thanks RemmyLee !

Please help! I did exactly as you said, but when I get into CWM and choose the file from my sdcard, it comes back and says:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
And goes straight back to the menu. No error messages or anything.

There is another zip file inside UL-K011-WW-3_1_23_172.zip.
1) Extract UL-K011-WW-3_1_23_172.zip
2) Rename UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip to user.zip.
Then follow Tethered CWM recovery steps.

[Recovery][H850] Team Win Recovery Project for the LG G5

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.3-0
WARNING: The stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
A message to those with other variants of the G5:
The H850 International variant is the only one with an official bootloader unlock from LG.
Should there be a time where your flashing mechanisms get cracked, simply mention my name on this thread or via private message and I would be happy to create a thread with TWRP for your device.
I have device trees ready for ALL variants of the G5, pending their unlock!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
https://twrp.me/devices/lgg5h850.html
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow LG's bootloader unlocking instructions here before you begin!

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download the latest TWRP .img for your device from this thread or twrp.me.
Use the same fastboot tool you downloaded in the LG unlock instructions to flash TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
* Replace x.x.x-x with the actual version you are flashing!
Now you can either power off your phone and boot into recovery using the button combo [Volume Down] + [Power], or you can run this command in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
At this point, you will see the TWRP splash and reach a screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow step 8 you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device or follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
Only if you want internal storage or data to work in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
Please consider backing up your stock boot partition in TWRP before proceeding to the next steps!
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU stable by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
-or-
If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Is the Sprint variant H850? I don't think so. You need to have an unlocked bootloader which has currently only become available this morning for the H850 European variant.
Thanks for this! Time to go buy my G5 now (Australia's a bit behind the times, only became available yesterday lol)

Same problem here.

Following instructions found here
For TWRP to "stick" you must first boot directly into TWRP and not back into Android, until after flashing the SuperSU zip.
After flashing TWRP unplug the USB cable and pull the battery. Plug battery back in then boot into recovery which should hopefully load TWRP.
To boot into recovery:
a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.
b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).
c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...
10. You will not be able to decrypt your internal data while in TWRP but you can manually mount your external SD card to view the SuperSu zip. Feel free to back up first.. but otherwise.. time to install SuperSu. Click the Install button and navigate to the external_sd, select the SuperSu zip then swipe to install. Now you're rooted and TWRP'd! Reboot into system...

Just followed the instructions here to the letter. Didn't do anything different. Only thing I can think of is that I let the phone boot fully after unlocking and then installed twrp after that. Not even sure if that can affect anthing

Recovery hangs at TWRP splash screen.
My PC sees Recovery ADB device connected (in Device Manager), but ADB program doesn't see any device, so I can't get logs.

I think you are the first user with working twrp. 99.9% of all other user dit not work.

If that was the reason behind it working, i cant imagine there is away to do that once the device is unlocked and how long did it take to get into TWRP

Works perfectly for me. Flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU, then finally flashed V4A and it's all working perfectly.

My moto G3 is stuck on the "warning, bootloader unlocked" page, please help !

My moto G3 is stuck on the "warning, bootloader unlocked" page, please help !
I recently rooted my Motorola Moto G3 and it worked.... ish, when I opened my phone from it being turned off I was greeted with the message telling me that it was super duper dangerous to root your phone and I could damage my phone, that normally goes as it is just a mandatory thing that they have to say, I waited for a while and it didn't go, I waited for a day and it didn't go. So I let it run out of charge and tried to boot it again, this didn't work, I was still seeing the same white screen with red and black writing. I then let it run out of charge and open it in fast boot mode by pressing the power button and volume down, this did work and from there I have managed to open the team win recovery project but whenever I do anything from then, it will go back to the error page and then will never load. I have even reset the phone to factory settings. If I hold the power button it will turn off the phone but very shortly after automatically turn itself back on to this same image.... please help!

How did you end up rooting it? Have you tried flashing a factory image?

If I were you, I would try to reflash stock firmware with factory reset

@Artyb52
hi, what did you do to Root ??
check these , if you have done evrything :
1) USB debugging enabled, allow OEM unlocking Enable ( developer options )
2) install ADB and fastboot. ( in PC)
3) Unlock bootloader in Fastboot mode .. (After unlocking did you PowerOn your phone, and check ? did it ON with out any problems? )
4) Installing a recovery , by following proper commands and choosing right version ..
5) flashing SuperSU with that Recovery.
If you have done everything Right, then Do onething.. Change CustomRecovery Version ( if on TWRP ) ,
else Goto Fastboot.. press POWER OFF, so that your phone gets SHUT DOWN, then On it normally ..
i have seen a problem where REBOOT function causes Bootloops..

i tried that and it didnt work :/
@nandakis4 shame it didn't work. Do you have any other tips, I would be really grateful

@Acetyloaceton how do you do that ? sorry for sounding like such a noob, i'm new to the game

@13ones I tried flashing the TWRP image, is that different to the factory image ?

The same thing happened me when I rooted my phone. To fix it I downloaded cm 13 then placed it on internal storage and flashed it (and gapps) from twrp and it worked fine.

"Factory Reset" Doesn't reflash stock firmware, it just wipes /data /cache and internal storage.

Yes, you'd need to download it from the stock firmware page and flash the whole thing through fastboot.

@l3ones i have tried this 2 times now, and i must be doing something wrong, i dont want to hassle you but could you walk me through the exact procedure needed to do this

Try this
Using adb sideload on twrp
1. Flash supersu 2.62, then
2. Flash supersu 2.65
Command : adb sideload supersu.xx.zip
In my case, it works.

If I'm not too late, sure. What model do you have?

[Rom][SPR_CRE7_V6_Bootloader][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]

This Is For Sprint S7 Edge Only.
This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo. There Currently Is No Root Method For Oreo
You Do Not Need To Be Rooted To Install This Rom
You Must Be On Stock CRE7 Sprint Oreo Firmware Before Starting
This Takes Some Patience To Install​
What Is Safestrap

This needs tested as I have no way of test V6 Bootloaders
If your already on OREO then then the google drive mirror is working for the ODIN_ADB_G935_CRE7_BL_V6.zip if someone wants to test for me

I don't know if I want to try this because I really didn't like safestrap on Verizon on the s5

Maybe your under a misunderstanding of what this is. There is no root for oreo. There are no custom roms. Safestrap allows you to modify this stock rom by being able to flash certain zips, install xposed or delete and add stuff to system folders. There are basically 2 options 100% stock or this modified stock rom with the ability to customize

Did you try the debloater? And xposed?

Quick question, would I be able to use this on another carrier (as in Verizon) since i have this phone stuck on this bootloader not having Sprint service. If not would this be possible so I could use my active verizon service with this rom, thank you.
