Hey everyone,
So I just updated to 2.2 from a rooted lagfixed 2.1. I rooted it back with z4root before I did the update, but didnt remove lagfax - as I forgot about it.
Now the phone boots but stays with a blank screen, the bottom buttons lit, and vibrates ever few seconds.
What do you guys suggest I do to get this fixed? I would like to not lose the data I have on the phone.
Thanks
JP
Fixed it by rebooting to Odin, now going with team whiskey 2.2
Moderator please close thread
this happened when i updated. go to recovory and clear ALL USER DATA. it will reboot perfectly.
if that doesnt work then do a factory reset. itll restart with the phone updated.
haha 3rd post.... i meant HARD RESET. it works trust me,
Odin is your friend, know that before you do any flashing

Just done the lag fix for my Galaxy S and it all seemed to go through fine. Tried running Quandrant benchmark to test it but it crashed. I turned the phone off and on, got the Galaxy S i9000 screen then is just goes blank, literally nothing, not even the menu or back lights. Had to then take the battery out to reboot but got the same blank screen.
I can boot into recovery but rebooting from that doesn't work either, does anyone know how to fix this? don't want to try anything for fear of making it worse

Try getting into the Recovery Mode with the 3 button combo
instruction on wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000
What lag fix are you using and what firmware are you on?
wont boot..
Hi, strangely but after the 2.2 upgrade on my SGS (it was JF5 and I made the trick with the registry to JPC and upgrade via KIES) it happened to me as well.. just a beautiful "S" blinking on the screen and nothing happens. On the time of upgrade in the instructions it was written that with the 3combo trick to make factory reset.. then everything worked just fine until yesterday...
Without installing any new apps, just browsing and trying to make my AllShare working.. I decided to gave up and without reason I have decided to restart my phone just to free RAM and etc.. And by no reason at all I got the same ****ty "S" screen and no boot.. tried first to wipe the cache.. didn't help.. and just after again factory reset it worked out and the phone is okay...
So probably for you the solution is really only factory reset, however this is very strange behavior
When I first applied the lagfix from the market in apk type it required an auto reboot to see if things wokred ok (as prompted on the screen).
Anyway, my phone stuck to a black screen and I was in a very inconvenient situation not to be able to use a PC (yeah, now I know I shouldn't mess with stuff like that while I'm on-the-go).
Long story short, after a couple of manual reboots (by taking out the battery for some seconds) it came back to life and no problems ever since. So before flashing (which can be rather incovenient if you have no backups etc) try the above mentioned method.
Original JF3 firmware (yeah need to change that).
Hi everyone, I tried to remove the lag fix but it said there was no space on my memory card. Then I tried to open some apps up, and they would all force close. I restarted the phone, and I am stuck at the galaxy s screen. Please help me make my phone work again!
i had the same thing i went into recovery mood up down power...etc wipe user and date cache, but now i dont get the tmobile jingle at power up
Which lag fix did you apply?
I had the same problem today when I tried to used lag fix but it was stuck at vibrant screen and keep rebooting. I tried to went into recovery mode and deleting user interface still didn't help. Finally I had to flash stock vibrant to get it working again.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
solution is to get back to stock rom.. look in the development section on how to fix it.. this happen to me after installing lagfix.. i can not install any app as it is saying i do not have any space available...
Thanks for the help guys, restoring a nandroid back up seemed to do the trick.
I know you fixed it already but this might help others ....
1.) Which lag fix was it?
2.) If it was Voodoo it can take a long time to remove and it will sit at the boot logo.
3.) If you get impatient and reboot before the removal is complete, you may not have all your data copied over.
I have the same problem! The lag fix i have is the one from this video: youtube.com/watch?v=KY1YXrltIRE (cannot post link), how do i get back to stock rom? thanks in advance from a noob
I downloaded the kies version of the firmware of the froyo update and updated the firmware using odin.
After i installed froyo, i wanted to root to apply swype patch and everthing went ok but when i restarted, the phone was stuck on the i5801 loading screen for about an hour
so i flashed the firmware again.
Odin saves the data onto phone and restarts the phone and the phone opens recovery mode but now it gets stuck on a screen saying "delete app data"... "delete files please wait" and it has been stuck there for about 3 hours now and even when i try and open recovery mode, it opens but then this screen comes up
i tried flashing multiple times but nothing works, cant even factory reset now
Please help me out..
note:odin for a change shows a disabled reset time box.. it is faded out)
add http and enter "dl.dropbox.com/u/26157339/compressed.jpg"
here is a screenshot of the screen at which my phone has been stuck for about 3 hours
Also suggest if i should go to the service center coz the phone is under warranty, i really doubt theyd do it for free considering its rooted but i dont mind paying up.
And let me know if there is anyway the service center ppl will know i rooted/flashed
Try taking out the battery and then putting it back, and press the 2 volume buttons+home+power until the phone boots up in recovery mode... Try wipping the memory from there
that is the entire problem, as soon as it goes into recovery mode it starts off like shown in the screenshot
therefore it is not displaying the menu (which has options to factory reset/clear cache) instead its jumping directly to the update sequence but then getting stuck at deleting apps
Try flashing a different firmware, such as an eclair rom. Note that your phone is 5801, so look for those firmwares.

k ill try flashing an eclair rom. I did flash firmware specific to my version it self..
But the problem is that even after the flashing is done, the recovery window has to open where the update begins and thats when the "deleting apps" screen kicks in and doesnt progress
never the less ill try flashing another rom/firmware and see
Hmm, that is weird. Did you flash the bootloader?
tried flsahing a eclair firmware but no luck..
odin runs for a couple of mins, and says pass but still the phone is stuck on the delecting apps screen..'
For some odd reason, my recovery mode is hell bent on deleting some apps but is not able to and is getting stuck and therefore i cant reset/ clear cache..
Do u ppl think this could be coz of the root??
Please suggest something, i dont want to know my phone is bricked for ever considering its not even been a year since i bought it
a second flashing of eclair did it thanks man!!!
it usually works if you flash the very first rom that worked the last time you got problems.
did you flash with your sdcard in your phone?
anyways im just glad you fixed it

Hi There thismorning I flashed my i5800 that I purchased from Carphone Warehouse with the I5800XWJPF 2.2 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 using ODIN.
The first time I tried it all seemed to be successful, and I then proceeded to root it with SuperOneClick and began restoring my phone using titanium. Then halfway through it crashed, and with no input from me my phone rebooted. It then got stuck on the I5800 boot screen. I finally managed to get it to work be re-flashing the JPF firmware. I Then factory reset the phone (forgot to last time). Now I have finally managed to restore to my phone to how it was.. ish.
When I reboot the phone it take forever to run the Media Scanner and no widgets other that the Google search load up. Also icons are missing. Aswell as thos issues the phone runs slower than it did, and crashes often. I have fired up angry birds and it was just a juttering mess. Based on all this I decided to revert back to 2.1.. and oh oh.. can't find my firmware.
My initial firmwares were:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
Phone: I5800XXJG3
CSC:I5800XXJG5
It was rooted using z4 root and had live wallpapers enabled.
Help!
What can i do to fix this?

Okay, it seems to have now settled down after several reboots, but it seems to loose around 30% of the home screen icons upon reboot. Is this normal? And does it happen on the JPM firmware that was suggested above?

No it is not normal. Do a factory reset, flash any 2.1 rom from www.samfirmware.com and then JPM.

I've got XWJPF and no problems. It runs very smooth. Something else is wrong.
Try flashing it to the earliest stock version of 2.1 that works, do a factory reset, then using Samsung kies, update it to the latest version available on there. Then try and reflash your choice of 2.2 rom. I had similar trouble with mine when I first started. I would recommend flashing CWM recovery as well, the samsung recovery is crap. XXJPQ seems to be available now and is getting some good reviews, fast and stable like JPF, but more up to date. Also try using SuperOneClick to root, has the best results to my knowledge. Some roms take a while to load all the app icons on boot, depending on the amount of apps you have it can sometimes take a little bit. I've found letting the phone go idle for a minute can get rid of the loadup lag. The ram gets topped out easily on the G3 if you have lots of apps that load at startup, which will severely slow the phone down.
Hope this helps!
More Problems
Okay, Now after a few restarts and crossing my fingers the icon thing has started to work, aswell as everything else clearing up. But now the app sizes are very small according to application manager, (angry birds - 2.2mb) and many third party apps reading 0bytes. Another thing is that Bluetooth refuses to work. It vibrates once when enabled, then another 3 times in quick succession and then the force close dialog appears. After clicking force close the box disappears and the phone responds again. I then manage to pai with a device but when I went to send a file, the dialog box and the vibrates appeared again and it refused to send. Any ways to fix?

Factory reset->reflash->factory reset.
Keep back ups!
All that you say is abnormal.
About your disappearing icons:
Are you using the (stock) TouchWiz launcher? If so, that has a (known) bug on 2.2 that all links to apps which were moved to sd card disappear if you unmount the card (which includes reboot). Are the apps that disappear on the sd card?
Reflash
Okay, to start with I will try the factory reset, flash, factory reset that was suggested. And by the way the disappearing apps were not on the sd card... Strange.. If this failds i will do as suggested by flashing to the earliest version, the update via Kies. I was trying to avoid this because of internet allowance..
Thanks for all the replies by the way

Rooting and restoring.. will post results in a few minutes time!
I'm halfway through restoring my settings via Titanium, and I keep getting the single vibrate, roughly 10 second delay, than a very fast triple vibrate, exactly the same as it did just before bluetooth crashed... Is something else wrong?
Okay, I've restored rooted and reflashed it and... ... still the same..
Titanium
Is it possible that this is caused by me restoring my phone settings from 2.1 to 2.2 through titanium?
If you need the original firmware to return it to stock pm me and ill upload it somewhere for you
I have just sent a bluetooth file! After another flash and wipe.. but havent restored or rooted. Don't think I will bother really. I now have a working phone! Thank you!
You must restore only apps. Restoring system configurations and apps data will cause problems. If I'm wrong correct me.

Hi,
I have dropped my phone few weeks back and cracked the screen. Still it was in working condition and every thing seemed working fine. But during the last few weeks my phone has received the OTA updates and now it is on Android 2.3.6. Now my phone is rebooting on it own. If I try to reboot it never reboots. When I try to reboot in 'Android Reboot with No BP' option, it reboots and every thing seems working fine but in few minutes it starts rebooting again on its own. Not sure when I dropped the phone it got some hardware damage or the OTA updates causing this reboot issue.
When I tried to boot up using 'Boot Android (no BP)' option it at least boots up and shows me Motoblur log in screen but again with in few seconds it goes back to boot up mode. Some times it stays for 5 to 10 minutes but never stays there more than 10 minutes and it goes back to boot loop.
I have unlocked my Atrix using Automatic boot loader tool. Did not help. Tried to flash with Motorola .SBF files both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, no luck either. Did the factory reset, wipe out the cache etc....no luck.
I have even tried to install custom ROM (NottachTrix 4G), that didn't help either.
I am thinking it might have caused by Android 2.3.6 updates. So I want to try to flash it with a custom ROM which is built on 2.3.4 or lower but afraid to do that thinking I might hard brick my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, unfortunately with the screen cracked, you can't return to Motorola. I had a goof with my Atrix when I first got it because I accidentally did a SBF flash to the wrong version and it bricked the phone and fried the motherboard and Motorola replaced it because I said the Gingerbread update messed it up. Ha.
Anyways, since returning to Moto is not an option for you, I would just go ahead and try to install a custom ROM, maybe try Neutrino ROM 2.2 or 2.5?
Do you have ROMRacer Recovery or CWM Recovery installed? Will it let you get into it? If so, put a custom ROM on your SD card, do a wipe data and cache and install it.
I'm no expert, but I have noticed no one else replied and just trying to help.
Hope all works out for you!
Boot loop issue - at&t Android 2.3.6
Thanks andreww88 for your reply. I read in one of the forums that once the phone is updated with 2.3.6 don't try to go back to older versions especially lower than 2.3.4. That would make the phone to be hard bricked. That is why I didn't try any other ROM other than NottachTrix 4G because it is built on 2.3.6. I could be wrong. That is why I need some guidance to try any other custom ROM.
i had the same issue. What i did was get the Atrix Fastool and whipe the phone. Then i extracted the sbf for 141 and then flashed 59 60 and 61 smg files from fastboot. After that everything worked properly. To then unlock my bootloader i used the flashing script and i was set. This is recoverable not easy but you can recover.
Thanks Moneyman1978 for your reply. Can you be more detail what you did to resolve this issue. Can you send me the links or point me to Fastool and 141 .SBF file also SMG files. Thanks again.

Well, I had a similar issue. I did the 4.5.141 (OS 2.3.6) OTA update and then it would just bootloop. I'm on stock, rooted, locked BL. I then ran the OTA update again via recovery and that didn't help. I then did a full factory reset, then update via recovery and still didn't fix anything (good thing I had TiBu backup). After calling AT&T they finally admitted that Moto recalled the 4.5.141 build update since there was WIDESPREAD boot-loop issues with many Atrix users. Great.
They're sending me a new phone. Luckily, mine is in good condition.
Any one please have any suggestions for me. Do you think it is a hardware issue or can it be fixed by fixing the software??? Any help is appreciated.
If any of you has any ideas about how to fix this issue I would appreciate if you can share it here.
