Stuck at "Vibrant Samsung" screen - help please!

Okay so I updated to JI6 from KIES. I was having some problems after the update so I decided to restore my nandroid made by ROM Manager (a backup made before the update - at JFD). I restore it, phone reboots, etc. However, now it is stuck at the "Vibrant Samsung" screen -- you know the one that comes with the T-Mobile logo appears. The odd thing is I even hear the load-up sound that plays, but the phone does not go past the Vibrant screen.
Help please?

Oh and I can still boot into recovery mode...

You sure you are waiting long enough? Mine took about 5 minutes after the firmware upgrade to get past the samsung vibrant screen. I thought it was frozen at first but I guess it takes awhile after the firmware upgrade.

This is after I did the restore from ROM Manager -- not after the firmware upgrade.

This is caused by downgrading from ji6. If you nadroid on ji6 to stock it will brick. I believe the only way to fix would be through odin. Hope it gets worked out.

[Q] Need Help (semi bricked Streak) Beta Unit???

Hey Guys,
I need your help trying to bring this Dell Streak back from the grave.
Background: I got this Streak from a fellow who tried to put 2.2 on it but apparently did something wrong. Currently I have no Idea what build this is or even what country it's from but I have a few clues that may help.
While booting the Streak with the volume buttons it reads:
Factory Reset
Software upgrade from update.zip
Power off
near the bottom of the screen is the following: "DT: A2.643 Built Date: Dec 31 2009, 01:16:21"
While booting into fast boot mode the white screen comes up but where normally you would see the " Fast Boot" option on the upper right corner, there is nothing.
But if you connect it via USB the screen will change to "FASTBOOT_MODE".
One more clue is that the splash screen does come up and just hangs there but I found it interesting that it reads "Dell Confidential" under the Dell Logo.
So right now thats all it does, Hang on the Dell screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds like you have a beta unit sir.

Freaking out here might have bricked my phone...

So I was told to install the deodexed [sp] of the GB leak, so I did on top of my rooted, non deodexed version, without wiping. After this I wiped my data a few times, as I heard it would be best to do. Well, after doing so... my phone won't stop bootlooping. I can't access the bootstrapped bootloader, only the stock Moterola one, and I cleared my data with it hoping it would work too...
Help please? How do I "sbf" back to stock or whatever?

Yeah, I don't think it was possible to go from orginial GB leak straight to the rooted one.
You will need RSDLite 4.8 or higher and 2.3.340 sbf file. Both should be easily findable with a Google search. Follow SBF instructions from there.

I hope its ok to post this link here:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html

I did everything it told me to in that guide, but the spf got to 99% and said it failed. Now my phone says "code corrupt" on the bootloader screen fml

tried flashing it again, same thing happened. It failed at "switching phone to BP pass through" apparently. help me please

Do you have the latest drivers installed? Try using RSDlite 4.9!

this is totally being lazy AND the reason why everyone is raising their prices on insurance and why ppl like motorola are locking bootloaders. if it is too much or you're too lazy to do it. dont do it in the first place. sbf isnt hard there are a gazillion guides to sbf'ing. not trying to be rude but seriously?

Yeah, I spf'd just fine (twice now cause I'm dumb lol) so problem solved. I would like some help in my other topic though, about GB deodexed.

you have to sbf to .340 use z4 root to root then install DX bootstraper reboot to recovery flash gbrooted.zip if you get stuck in bootloop go into factory recovery and wipe data reboot download and install D2 bootstrapper yes D2, boot into recovery and flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip and let it try and boot it SHOULD bootup after a couple of minutes, if it doesnt get into stock recovery and wipe data, reboot
also it could bootloop because of corrupt downloads

'I was messing with my phone a bit i was going through the settings and i came across the update menu and i seen that i had an update so i went on ahead and tried to update it....so i was waiting for it to download on my status bar andd when it finished it went to another screen were it had triangle with an exclamation mark and the little android thing in the back so i waited for it to finish updated and when it finished it booted up and screen was black saying code corrup"
I don't really talk like that,but I was trying to make it seem as if i don't know much about phones.They have to send you another phone because they will think it's a manufacturing problem...

slfdjgdkkjfh! Damnit! I've been working on this all day and just now realized that the issue was that I wasn't using D2 bootstrap, I was still using the DX one and flashing deodexed right after the rooted one.

Yes it was a problem that I caused but at that momment I got scared and wasn't sure what I was suppose to do,and because I have no internet at home because i'm never home I use wireless tether when im there and my phone was messed up so wasn't able to look at guides to fix it.....So the easiest thing I thought of is calling them.I wouldn't have mind fixing it but again I wasn't able to at that momment.

I had the same thing happen. Put the letter p at the end of the file name and move it to c:\ this worked for me on rsd lite 4.8 I just kept pulling the battery and retrying until it went through

I'd just like to point out that you don't actually need rsd lite 4.8 or higher. 4.7 has worked perfectly for me the several times I have SBF'ed

New StreakDroid Site

Looks like there is a new StreakDroid site. Hope im not dropping the ball on this but I needed to re-download the qdl tool as I just tried to flash Steve's 1.9.0 and im stuck in a boot loop. There are no downloads listed on the new site, so if anyone is willing to upload the current repair tool id sincerely appreciate it. My streak is my only phone, sooooo I got nothin right now.
Any help is appreciated

Try doing a factory reset from the first menu, re-flash the rom, then factory reset again. That always stops the boot loop for me.
I know DJ Steve was asking for help in keeping the site maintained, so it may be just in the process of being re-designed - haven't looked.

Do a factory reset from the stock recovery screen after the flash. 1.9.0 had been the dell logo boot loop fixer to me for weeks.

Ok thanks. Going to try again at work as my netbook is there and I have all I need on the computer. Got it back to 351 official for now.

Need Advise Before Sending Back To Samsung

Hey Guy,
Need some quick advise. So I bought my N10 back when it launched and its been pretty great! I use it for watching videos, playing games, and teaching (Im a science teacher). Anyways, I use my tablet Daily... a lot... and its never given me any issues at all really. Well about a month ago I noticed it responding a little slow and really laggy for about 2-3 minutes, then it restarted itself. I figured it was no big deal cuz its done that before. Well this time it never turned back on and it just stayed at the Google boot up screen. So I restarted it manually and then it just stayed on the "X" screen forever... Never left either of these screens until the battery would die.
I reinstalled android using the Nexus Root Toolkit and it does the job every time. It works GREAT...but.... only for about 10 minutes, then it starts to get really laggy and then restarts again and gets stuck in the bootloop.
I have it under warranty through staples and they are telling me since its a software issue they want me to send it back to Samsung. If it was a physical issue like broken screen, they would have replaced it by now.
The Tablet isnt rooted. I always root my devices, but since this was a nexus I didnt think it was necessary...for me at least.
Thanks

Smash the screen and get the replacement lol. Anyways I don't see now its a software issue when you flashed the factory image and nothing changed. Try downloading the new 4.3 factory image from Google and flash it manually instead of with the toolkit. If you still have the problem then I'm pretty sure its something to do with the hardware though I don't know how the hardware would affect it getting stuck at boot screen. This is a confusing problem. Anyways according to most people Samsung won't be much of a help and you'll get you're tablet back a week or two later in the same condition. Some people have had good luck with them and got a fixed device back so I guess if your out of options you might as well give it a shot

Thanks a lot man. I just finished downloading the factory image now,but .... Noobie Question of the Day ... drum roll please ... how do I flash it manually? I transferred it to the device manually and then I opened up the bootloader then went to recovery mode then got into the stock recovery and the only options were Clear Cache...Clear Data... and ADB. Do I use ADB, If so Ill have to look that process up, I have never done that before. Sorry, Im not new to android or flashing or rooting, just new to Nexus I guess. My Samsung phones have corrupted me haha.

No, you don't use ADB to flash image files. Stay in bootloader where you see it say "Fastboot enabled". Extract the system, userdata, recovery and boot image from the package to C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\data.

After that open the toolkit > Advanced Options > Launch CMD.
Your computer should recognize your device by entering

Rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache/dalvik cache usually works for me when it hangs on the loading screen.

Yeah man, thats what I thought, so I have tried it a few times and whenever I go to wipe cache....The tablet doesnt really do anything and then all of a sudden it restarts. What would cause that?

try to use the toolkit to flash a factory image of 4.2.2 (mind it formats all data, files, music etc). See if it works fine. then unlock, root the device and install a custom recovery (all with the toolkit). If everything works you will have a rooted 4.2.2. Try the tablet and the recovery to see if everything works. If it does you can upgrade to 4.3

Well if your still having issues then just send it to Samsung and when it comes back if its still not working take it to staples and tell them Samsung said its a hardware issue or something. I'm pretty sure they'll replace it. I've always had good support with staples
