Went through the installation.. pressed reboot system now...... Then it sticks on the Mytouch 3g green screen.

you just wiped your phone. Install the rom again........
It looks like an outdated thread, I don't see your file anywhere but I'm assuming that you applied a 4.2.12.2 theme on your 4.2.15.1 rom. *Please tell me you didn't do that and wonder why your phone didn't work* I hope that theme file was for 4.2.15.1!

Alright thank you for the quick reply. further looking i did apply an older theme. does that mean my phone is bricked?

Alright i just reinstalled the Sappimg.nbh from the wiki CM page and this worked. sorry for being dumb i just freaked out when my phone wasnt booting. all is good now thank you Kawata

Liberty 1.5

Well since I cant post in the other forum yet Ill post here. I have issues getting into
clockwork mod sometimes. I eventually get there but its a pain. Anyway I wiped,backtostock,rooted,rom manager,bootstrap and installed liberty. Its loading now so will see how it goes. I was using Rubix and thought it was great but decided to try this. Will have to go back to stock in a few days and I need to swap my phone out.

Since I already have this thread going I do have a question. I have to return to somewhat stock. Is there a best option in deleting some programs and then unroot to get most stuff off so the carrier wont say anything?

This will get you back to stock. Click here.

Yeah I have that file thanks. I have used it but it still leaves traces of the other programs installed. I did wipe cache and the wipe and return to factory but there are still traces of programs. Do I just go into manage apps and will be able to uninstall rom manager ,z4root etc..? Ahh I just checked your link and maybe I didnt have that exact version. Will try that on thanks again.

Well I tried 3.4.2 and wanted to go back to liberty 1.5 and thought I did everything in the right order but am stuck at the liberty boot screen. Been there a long time. I can only get back to regular menu of wipe cache etc.. Any help please? Took forever to get into clockwork mode. went back into stock, installed liberty 1.5 again and should be back up in a little. Well now Im in need of some help again .It started to load and finished. I loaded or started to load my rom back on and the battery went dead. Now Im stuck at at black bootloader screen will a corrupt code and flashing low battery. It chargred several hours through usb and home charger but nothing. Do I need to find another way to chargre the battery and start all over or is it dead?

[Q] Applied update, phone rebooted, now uhh?

Ok, so I updated from stock, using official update phone rebooted and stayed at samsung screen forever it kept blinking and vibrating. Pulled battery, tried restarting it goes samsung loading bar -> VM welcome -> flashing/vibrating samsung screen.....I can get into recovery AND download mode. Tried clearing cache, factory reset, and updating again, but still gets stuck at samsung screen. I am desperate guys I really need help, I am going on a LONG road trip this weekend and need my phone so ANY help would really be appreciated. THANKS!

When u say update do u mean u went from ex. 2.1 to 2.2.... android that is? U should elaborate a hit more, if what I mentioned is the case then revert back to the ROM prior to the update. If u give more info I may be able to help from my personal experiences

Yes used official update went from 2.1 (stock) to 2.2 as the update finished, it got stuck in a sort of boot cycle, stuck at a samsung screen keeps flashing samsung logo, and vibrating. wont fully boot

OK, I saw on my facebook page samsung intercept page. Mediafire link to download update.zip file,has anyone tried this. Will this work,if it bricks my phone i will be pissed...

There's always the chance that a phone can get bricked, no mater what ...even from an 'official' update from your service provider. With that said, however, I've downloaded the Virgin Mobile 2.2 Froyo update file that's floating around and it installed no problem on my phone.
For the first poster ....I believe that the stock recovery is necessary for the VM 2.2 update to work. I won't swear on that though.
Here's what I did. Downloaded the 2.2 VM Froyo update to my laptop. Renamed it 'update.zip'. Copied it to the root of my sdcard on my Intercept via bluetooth. Booted into recovery mode and applied the update. Twiddled my thumbs while it updated itself from recovery and then rebooted....and the reboot takes a while, maybe 5 minutes. Presto ...2.2 Froyo.

I think that you didn't wait long enough...as the reboot takes a looooong time, maybe 5 minutes or more at least. Patience is a virtue.

Okay guys,im new here. I installed VM Froyo 2.2 update.zip,it seems to work fine. A bit slow but its still booting up. I installed stock rom,stock kernal, and update.zip,in that order. And backup works too,wiped dalvik cashe to. I like this forum its more informative,will let yall know more later. Thanks.

You're making this way to convoluted. All that one needs to do when updating from stock 2.1 on the VM Intercept is to download the (official unofficial) update file, rename it to 'update.zip' on the root of the sdcard, boot into recovery, and apply the update. That's it. It installs Froyo and the new radio, etc, itself...all from the update.zip. No need to mess with kernels and recovery or wipe anything ....except one's own azz if they go take a chit while waiting for it to reboot. In fact, when I updated it even kept all of my 2.1 widgets and icons and imported them into Froyo ...I didn't need to do a thing.
Oh, I see ....you had to convert your Intercept back to 'stock' first. Nevermind...

Yes, i did i downloaded stock rom,stock kernal and stock recovery all .zip. Put stock.zips in sdx/zip folder and update.zip 2.2 in root on sdcard. Installed all three wiped dalvik cashe rebooted each time in custom recvery. When i got to stk rec. rebooted to stock rec. Ran update.zip 2.2 may take a while but it booted no problems.

Can u get the phone into download more with any button sequences, YouTube it if u don't know what i mean(mobiletechvideos) then y will need to use odin to use tp download an official Samsung Rom.... PM if u need help

[Q] My Iconia is RUINED ..... Help!?

I had my Iconia working well with OTA 3.1 unrooted and it all started when I decided to update it 3.2 and then root it but after updating i realised that there was no root for 3.2 so i searched for a way to do so and i found the "downgrade to 3.0.1(unstable) then root" way and followed it and got my Iconia with the 3.0.1(unstable) downgrade and rooted it with "gingerbreak" and downloaded "acer recovery installer" and got "virtuous galaxy 1.0.5" rom and that's when every thing went wrong after i flashed it with the recovery mode it booted but was unusable it kept on force closing and lagging and nothing worked it didn't even respond to my touches.
I reseted the device many times but in vain so i decided to reflash the downgrade file "3.0.1(unstable)" and remove the root and re-update to 3.2 as if nothing happened but just when i reflashed the downgrade it booted but didn't even give me the chance to do anything it became really "unstable" it kept on force closing the launcher as if i'm stuck in a loop and i don't know what to do as i don't have that much knowledge so i left it closed as it is (so as not to ruin it more ) and want anyone to PLZ HELP me to return back to stock 3.2 (totally stock as if i just bought it) with no roms or root .
Thanks in advance to anyone who did or didn't help

I solved it i managed to get to settings in the 1 second interval between the successive force closes and then pressed factory default and like magic every thing was good as new at last.
Thanks to everybody helped me ...... no one even replied

Well 46 minutes isn't that long in forum-reply terms
Anyways. Good you got it fixed. Did you install Clockworkmod from Acer Recovery Installer, a full wipe followed by a fresh ROM from here flashed using CWM would likely have fixed it.

i think your mistake is , you didnt wipe data before lashing virtuous galaxy

Next time, you can reset your tablet by going: power button + right volume button (when held landscape with power button on top left corner)
power button + left volume button boots to recovery.

I survived the Encryption Unsuccessful error unscathed?!

I've been a stalker on here for a long time, as I've been interested in custom ROMs but I never pulled the trigger, until last night. My Vibrant has served me well for a many years, I bought it shortly after they came out. All I'd ever done to it was network unlock it so I could keep using it after I moved to the UK.
I've been toying with getting a new phone for a few months now so I decided why not try and flash a custom ROM and get ICS on my Vibrant, if I got the EU error and bricked it, oh well, I'd get a new phone. So I after much reading and research, studying the tutorials on here I went for it. I am vary tech and computer savvy. I build my own computers from scratch, I've flashed my routers and set up networks so I was pretty confident I could do this with the help of the forums here.
I've read every thread I can find on the EU on here and I know that the community needs as much info as possible to try and solve this bug, so I will try and be as specific as possible and list everything I did. But bear in mind, I'm new to this and this was my first time doing much of this so some things may be muddled as I was up til quite late messing with all this.
To start my phone was running 2.2 which was updated using Kies Mini. The only thing I'd ever done to it was network unlock, and for that all I did was find the file on the phone with the code and then enter it to unlock.
I decided to follow Woodrube's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423)
I followed the guide to the "T".
1. Used Odin to flash back to stock 2.1, worked fine, phone booted back up and everything worked. Phone Data showed I was on 2.1.
2. I put Clockwork Recovery downloaded from Woodrube's sig block on my internal sdcard labeled as Update.zip
3. Created a folder called ICS on my internal sdcard. Found and downloaded CM7 from the forums here and dropped it into the ICS folder. Found and downloaded the ICS Passion ROM from the forums and dropped it into the ICS folder
4. Booted to recovery mode and did Reinstall Packages. It ran but brought me back to the blue recovery screen. so per Woodrube's guide I did it again and the second time it brought me to the green CWR recovery screen
5. I did wipe data/ factory reset
6. I did wipe cache
7. I went to advanced and did wipe dalvik cache
8. I went to mounts and storage and did format system
9. I went to install from sdcard and found the ICS folder I made and ran the CM7 fille I dropped there. It worked the first time and booted right up, I let it sit for about 5 mins waiting for the request to install my google password as Woodrube mentions, but it never appeared, so I moved on after 5-6 min of waiting.
10. I then booted back into recovery mode using the extended power button menu
11. I went to install from sdcard again and this time ran the ICS Passion file. It ran some text lines showed on the screen as id did somethings and then I sw a Random Offset error and a small hex string but then it said successfully installed but didn't leave the recovery screen. So i scrolled up to reboot system.
12. The phone rebooted, showed me the Passion splash screens and a progress bar which filled and completed, then showed a few other splash screens and then it booted up showing my signal strength bar and notifications bar. I thought YES! I did it and it worked. then the screen flashed, it showed a single multi-colored line horizontally across the middle of the screen and then flashed again and I was looking at the Encryption Unsuccessful screen.
13. I DID NOT PUSH THE RESET BUTTON, I set the phone aside and followed Woodrube's link to the Captivate Forums and read up on the error, read all of it, then searched the forums for more threads on the error and read all of those, then I Googled the error and read everything else I could find.
14. First i tried just shutting the phone down with the power button and then restarting it. I did this about 5-6 times. Every time it rebooted it showed me the Passion splash screens then boots up shows my notification bar and signal strength meter and the EU screen. That didn't work. I next tried rebooting 5 times without my external sd card installed. Same results
15. Next I decided to see if I had lost access to my internal sdcard as I had read about. I wasn't sure if I had because I had never pushed the EU screen reset button. So I booted into recovery mode, went to install from sdcard and my sdcard list popped up. I still had access to my internal sdcard.
At this point I was torn... do I stop playing with fire and just got back to stock, update with Kies Mini and go back to using the phone as I had always been and forget all this or do I try and figure this out? Well my stubborn side hating to be stumped had encountered a problem and so wanted to move forward... on i went.
16. I decided, ok, I can still see my internal sdcard so why not try reflashing the ISC Passion and see if maybe it will take this time with no EU. I ran it and exactly the same thing happened as the first time.. right down to the flash with the horizontal line and all. (I did not wipe data, cache or anything, just reflashed. Not sure if I should have or not)
17. Back to recovery mode and check... yes still see my internal sdcard. hmmm
18. Decide ok, how about it I do Woodrube's guide all over again from the start? Maybe that will work. I followed the guide again using all the same files and wound up right back at the EU screen again.
19. Hmmm, how about a different ICS ROM? Went and found ICZen and downloaded it. Hmm, how do I get this unto my internal sdcard if the phone won't boot all the way? Booted it back to the EU screen and just plugged the phone into the usb on my computer, windows recognized it, made the device plugged in noise, and both my internal and external sdcards on the phone showed up as drives. Navigated to the ICS folder in the internal sdcard and dropped the ICZen file into it.
20. Rebooted the phone into recovery mode using the power button menu
21. Used install from sdcard and flashed the ICZen. (Again, I didn't wipe anything before hand. Again not sure if I was supposed to)
22. The ROM installed and got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery and rebooted to recovery and reflashed the ICZen again with no wipes. This time it worked and the phone rebooted and I got the ICZen splash screens, then the notification bar and signal strength meter showed up.. and AGAIN the weird flash with the horizontal bar and then the EU screen. SIGH
23. Booted back to recovery mode and checked if I still had access to internal sdcard. yes it was still there.
24. Shut down and booted to download mode and ran Odin and flashed back to stock 2.1
This is where I am now, It was too late to try anything else and my wife was glaring at me to go to bed so shut off the phone and went to bed.
I tried to put everything I did down with as much detail as I could. I'm sure some of you pros out there might be wincing at stuff I did, but again this is all new stuff for me and I'm slowly learning.
If you have any questions or need clarification just ask and I will try and help/explain better.
Hopefully this might help in the quest to solve this bug or it may just be a waste of time to read, dunno.

I got to:
"To start my phone was running 2.2 which was updated using Kies Mini."
and stopped there
Come back to Froyo - always welcome here

LOL, yea I know, but up until this adventure last night, I just used the phone with the Samsung updates as it was, didn't really have a need to do otherwise.

I think that you should flash one of Moped's ROMs and make sure that it will boot up and run ok and that you did, in fact get out of the EU bug safely.
Couple of things:
I did get your PM and I thank you for the info. This post is far more detailed, which is a ton better.
You say that you were unlocked. There was a theory not too long ago about a corrupted EFS file, but AdamOutler uploaded his and someone else replaced theirs with it and it didn't work. But I am thinking that there might be a link here bc I have seen several posts over the last few months that ICS ROMs have been out where someone's data has been borked or their IMIE was gone. Wonder if there is a correlation to that? I'll have to ask some people onver in the Captivate thread and if anyone in the Vibrant thread can chime in too(?).
If you want to flash another ROM, just follw my ICS guide but where it says to install CM7, just install your shiny, new 2.2 instead and there you are.
Great Job dodging that bullet and hope that you no longer lurk, but be a part of the community at large. If your intelligence is reflected in your post, you are welcome here anytime.

Thanks Woodrube,
I was thinking the same thing about loading a 2.2 ROM and be sure I'm all good.
I know the 2.1 I loaded last thing last night seemed to work fine. But I will try a 2.2 once I get home and will update on here after I do.
Funny thing about all this is that my wife now won't let me near her Captivate ROFL.

Can you blame her ?
For the sake of the thread i can chime in on the unlock part. I'm still untouched by the EU bug "touching wood(rube)" . I'm using the i896 version of the Captivate from Rogers and there was never codes inside of it so most app were unsuccesfull at pulling them. I had to use the free SGS Unlock website where you upload your nv_data.bin and it returns you a unlocked version. I also never encountered any efs/imei issue.

hi.
I saw you have not wiped when installing the ROMs. I think maybe you should try and do the wipe before installing the ICS ROM.
Wipe system, data, cache.
Good luck

BINGO!
So I followed Woodrube's guide again.. started from scratch... only change I made was I wiped data factory reset, wiped cache, wiped Dalvik cache, and under mounts and storage I format system BEFORE flashing the ICS Passion.
Logged into Google Account and set up phone and now I'm rockin' ICS
Not sure how or why this worked but it did.
Thoughts?
