I got my I5800 today, and knew about 2.2 and wanted to upgrade. I followed the guide, downloaded odin, ops files, all that. The process seemed to go well, it rebooted and then stayed at the "Samsung" screen and I waited over 20 minutes and nothing..
Now my phone doesn't work.. Doesn't go past the SAMSUNG screen...
Someone please help, I'm at noob with androids :/
Edit: Reverted back to the firmware version I wrote down that it had, and tried again and it worked
You don't need to start a new thread to report this...
Read This at first:
RTFM
Later you RTFM, you just can use the "Search" tool to find solutions...
If you don't do this, you are not able to flash/restore or do anything in advance. You just need to be a simple user...
Its like to buying a new TV or Microwave oven, at first you RTFM to power on later...
Please, just read!

I have a new streak on the 6601 build and am following the steps to move to 4399, 8105, and hopefully get to here. However, i have hit a major roadblock. When I try to flash to 4399 everything goes smoothly until the progress bar gets half way and then tells me my "Software is up to date: Rebooting in 30 seconds"
I am not new to flashing and was putting a new rom on the captivate every other day, so I'd like to think I'm good at following directions and reading the forums for help. I have found several other threads from the past months with the same problem, but no one ever posted a fix!!! I've tried every combo I can thing of, flashed different recovery's, tried skipping 4399 all together, tried using clockwork and changed the .pkg to a zip file. I've never had such a hard time getting past one thing while flashing. I'm hoping I'm just missing something really obvious and it's an easy fix, but can someone please help me!! I have read and re-read the directions and can't find anything I am missing
have you tried the official 2.2 romfiles at modaco ? flash from a pc .

Yeah I was going to but several posts say they are stuck at dell logo when trying to go straight to 2.2 from 1.6. I appreciate the idea though! I still may try it in a bit. Any other thoughts?

you also need a modified loader (like clockwork) and root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 to be able to flash rom files
All,
I've been rooting Droids for awhile, just got a streak, and I messed it up.
I tried to root it with superboot, and killed it ... regardless, was able to fix, and then tried a few ROMS, cannot get Cyanogenmod off .....
How can I get my streak back to the current AT&T 2.2 build that's out there.... I know ther are tutorials, but all seem to lead to a black screen for me .... please help
I had the same problem.
When I had the black screen, no logo, no nothing, I was still connected by USB. While the screen was still black I unplugged the USB and the phone came back to life in recovery mode.
Just a bit of info, try using QDLTool (repairtool) from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
It reset me back to stock 2.2.
Just make sure you follow the Main tutorial instructions.
...
Well, figured it out on my own, thanks to those who replied.
Unbeknownst to me, the bootloader (recovery.img) that you use greatly impacts which .pkg files you can and cannot install.
So, for future reference, if anybody runs into my issue in the future, make certain you have the proper recovery.img file ... worked as soon as I figured that out.

Moving to General
I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.
I guess this thread is about the same issue

Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much
I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.
Hello everyone,
I have been on this site for sometime, always reading and waiting to be able to take the plunge into all the fun.
I am a Bell subscriber, and have enjoyed my phone till this point, but now I would like to be able to get everything back to normal.
A couple months back, I messed up my Atrix and decided to flash the following sbf file onto it, 4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR.
It has been running good since then.
Now I want to be able to get back to the Bell software and be able to take the OTA updates, and have my car dock working again.
I have read until I am blue in the face, and there is so much jumping around from thread to thread, I am really lost when it comes to start this.
My phone is currently rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20, I have backed up everything, and am willing to do anything to this phone to accomplish this. I am not to worried about it, as I have purchased the extended warranty on it, so I hope I am covered.
My questions are:
Do I need to unlock my phone to proceed to the next step?
if so, I use ihop-bell?
I install CWM, I currently use the one with Rom-Manager
I download the Bell 2.2.2. Gobstopper? Install it?
I have the current version of RSD lite installed on my computer
then I ????? this is where I get lost again.
I know some of you are saying read the steps posted, but it seems they all lead to different pages and I kinda got lost in the process. Would someone point me to a step-by-step that could help me please?
Sorry for inconveniencing any of you, but it is greatly appreciated
Thank you
Fred
]I know this is a wide issue on many devices, but i could not find one for the Galaxy Note.
So here it is (and sorry if the answer is allready out there):
i roomed my phone, before i even knew what i was doing. I started the phone, and everything went nice. And then i tried to update the OS without using rooting, which appairently did not work. So i factory reset my Note, and it got stuck on bootscreen (the samsung logo). I have figured out (or atleast i thing) that the OS is missing, or something like that. So i downloaded it from a forum page here on XDA. The thing is i can't figure out how to put it on the phone. I tryed using ODIN. Any clue of an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Solved:
After 2 hours of searching the internett, i finally figured out how to return to the basic firmware. I downloaded a stock firmware for the Galaxy Note, and followd a good tutorial on how to install it using Odin. Thanks to whoever wrote it:
