HardReset that no1 ordered

A few days ago something weird happened... I got up in the morning and when I checked my phone it was at the point of the HardReset when it asks the user to tap the screen to align it. I didn't ask for that hard reset. What could be the problem?

Not sure to be honest. Some issues which appear with the HD can be rectified by flashing back to a stock rom then reflashing custom rom again

I've been having the same problem...found a few others who have also......if anyone has a solution please let us all know.

The Solution already mentioned by Fallan is to Flash a stock ROM is the simpliest way. Another option is to use mtty which is the fastest way however, can be less safe for noobs.

Well crap...I think I bricked it :-(

I tried to unroot my phone via OCLF from the market. It went dark, then got the normal Vibrant screen, the the Galaxy S screen, then it went dark again. Now, it just sits. Black screen. All the buttons at the bottom are lit up. :-/
Anyone?

Silly question, I know. But did you have a nandroid backup, by any chance?

This is probably a last resort, but try boot into recovery and wipe everything. This fix the problem for me, the downside is you lose all you data.

If you are anything like me, recovery didn't work and using Odin and reflashing Stock with repartition didn't work either.
You'll need to use odin to flash Eugenes "Vibrant that doesn't brick" (NO REPARTITION), then use odin again to flash Stock (check repartition this time) and you'll be good to go.

You can try to flash the froyo rom with odin...... I had that same exact problem and this is what fixed it for me. Once froyo us flashed then you can flash whatever rom you want. Hth

Ok, I probably should have stated that I'm a complete newby and have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I do have nandroid, but other than that you all are speaking French to me.
Right now I'm in the recover mode (I think). It's hooked up to my computer and I'm in the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode. This is where I'm stuck...I have no idea where to go from here.
Please talk to me like I'm a 5 year old, because as far as this is concerned, I am!
Oh, and thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Well, good news is... you didn't brick your phone, this is recoverable. Best idea would be to search the forums on how to ODIN back to Stock. Theres plenty of posts on how to do it. You should also be able to find this in the tips & tricks threads. Good Luck.

Thank you all for your help! I recovered it!! Seems as though I was just going about it the wrong way!! I got into the actual recovery mode and cleared it all out. Now it's as good as new!
Again, appreciate your help and patience with what I'm sure is the 120,000th post on this subject. ;-)

Is it even possible to make a nandroid backup before rooting?

If I following the link and the next one, I can read:
Caution!!! You Must be on STOCK Vibrant Rom & NEVER Have Already Flashed the JP3 Froyo Image

It isn't -> it's a Firmware for the normal Galaxy (3key)[I'm a idiot]
First,
You must already Have Odin installed & Know how to boot into Down-loader Mode!!

Thats also the problem as described in front : I have had no chance to received the DL Mode.. maybe I make something wrong? The phone is booting up till the "S" is there, after that, the screen is black, keys are lightning...
The recovery 3button are blocked from the beginning; the DL Menu - I did not have reached it successfully
The PC recognize, that is something on USB, but not what ... so Odin did not see the Mobile, too.

We can't help you too much with too less information..

Imei plays hide and seek

I got a realy strange problem with my D802, this came up out of the blue.
About 2 weeks ago I suddenly lost all network functions, for a few hours, then it came back again. Later I had only 2G and realy bad phone reception. The other morning everything was fine until a few hours later I was offline again. It was just then it came to me to check my imei and it was gone
At the time I was on stock 30B with one of Dorimanx' kernels. I was using this combo for a few days already so neither rom or kernel caused this.
Since this problem occurred I've been busy with this, searching the net, flashing all kinds of KDZ's, Kernels, Roms and what else but to no evail.
I did backup my original EFS partition but restoring doesn't help. been trying to put my imei back with QPST and EFS professional but NOPE!!
Rightnow the issue has changed slightly, when I (re)boot my Device I got no imei but after a while, can be a few minutes or maybe an hour the imei comes back.
I'm out of ideas, hope any of you guys can help :fingers-crossed:. Rightnow my G2 is nothing more then a really small tablet with phone functionality when it feels like it. And I feel like turning it in to a frisbee
I put a logcat from boot there ---> http://pastebin.com/kdR13DaR
Current setup stock 30B, stock Kernel, no Xposed
Thanks in advance
Edit: added last_kms log.

Have you tried flashing a modem? Maybe it could help
Good luck

Yeah tried that also. No luck
Besides: A KDZ comes with the proper modem doesn't it?
Is there a particular piece of hardware that could be damaged or could it be the main board?
All the other stuff is working fine on my phone

Try posting a dmesg taken shortly after boot.

That was not exactly what I had in mind. Last_kmsg is the dmesg from before the latest restart. I hope that there might be a telling message during boot, so you need to restart again and capture a current dmesg. You can do that on a command line by typing
dmesg >/sdcard/msg.txt

Almost. That wasn't done right after a reboot, so the boot messages are no longer there.

sorry it took so long m8.

Yes, the new file is the one I sought. Unfortunately, it didn't tell me what's wrong with your phone. Maybe someone else is more clever...
If you haven't already done so, I suggest you try another sim-card.

tnx but I tried that already. the sim is not the issue.
As a matter of fact its not even asking for a sim or giving the "missing sim"notification when it's out.

AbdulrahmanAmir said:
your boot Logs seems okaay refers to the software but the Hardware part of SIM mainly the logical board may leaks or got some electrical hiccups sometimes the OEM get fail in inventing logical board that comes with no IMEI show or even it works but not everytime flash a KDZ and dont root head for your warranty center and they'll change the LOGICAL BOARD you may backup your data before you go

Sorry for this awfully late reply mate ?
I got caught up searching for a decent chinese phone to replace this G2, but no winners there Hehe.
I lost my warrantee already because of a screen replacement. So I scored a G2 with broken screen (plus original charger ?) for a few euros to try to swap the motherboard coming weekend ?

SM-N910F HARD brick! Desperate and running out of ideas..?!

Hi guys!
I would just like to start by apologizing for making another thread about a bricked note4, however I have read about so much I don't know which advice to go with anymore. I'm also a complete novice when it comes to this.
So long story short, my note 4 started playing up and lagging, eventually not turning back on at all. After endless attempts using odin and flashing what I seemed to have thought was the right firmware, it whittled down to about 1 in 5 attempts of trying to enter download mode (using the buttons) on the phone actually working. Now its completely bricked...no power, no download mode, nothing!
Just like to reiterate, I'm a complete novice,sorry if I'm not making sense, my knowledge doesn't go further than articles and google!
I have tried using kies to recover my phone and it cant recognize it...
I have read about using adb to get my phone into download mode, but I couldn't understand the explanation given well enough to use it...
I bought a 16gb micro sd card and have tried writing an unbrick image to it but I get no response off my phone, also tried another file, possibly sdc? cdc? cant quite remember, but that failed too.
I don't even know if the files I'm using are correct, I got them from a forum on here.
I'm at a loss!
The only hope I have left is if someone is able tell me if any steps I have tried are correct, and possibly provide me with the correct unbrick image?
Also, when I plug my phone into my computer via usb, there is a noise that sounds but nothing else happens, don't know if these means anything. As far as I'm aware I also have correct drivers installed.
Sorry about the long explanation!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Lucy.

Only logical result from your explanation is you have a hardware problem.
I dont think you are gonna be able to solve it with software...
Time for service visit i guess..

Nope.. I have no idea.. Sorry

Try the sd recovery method .
First you can try to flash the pit partion .
You can find that on xda .
Just search for note 4 pit files.
Download the n910f pit file with correct csc.
TRY flashing via download mode.
Try flashing .
Use this guide for using sd card to get into download mode if you cant access download mode
There is a method for http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57e756f41dc6e/read me for brick fix.txt
