I used odin, then CWM 3, then flashed to Syndicate Frozen. It seemed to work fine...except that the phone seems sluggish and none of the soft keys or hardware keys work. When I press one, the phone vibrates a few times, then shows this android logo put on by syndicate, and seems to reset the OS. The touchscreen seems to work fine.
I don't know if this is an issue with the rom, cwm, or something I did wrong. Can anyone advice?
Bad flash. Wipe data and flash again, and if you continue to have problems, use Odin to go back to EB13. Still having problems? Format your SD card, redownload the ROM, and flash.

After I installed a 2.3.3 firmware on my device, which has been confirmed as working and all, through odin after startup i get a lot of force-closes fromm old apps! I freaked out, and flashed again with re-partition ticked on and still, same problem! I then accessed the recovery screen, did a factory reset through there and all of the problems were gone. Is this normal? Or at least, did the reset actually cleaned my device, or will there be problems on the future? This has never happened to me, the firmware is my device's official firmware, loaded everything perfectly, even my local provider claro, so everything looks ok. Weird.
the only way to really clean it all is to go back to a stock 2,2 and before the phone re-boots pull the battery, go into recovery and reformat the SD card. Then flash the 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 stock version you want and do a reset.
I have been running the kanged builds of CM9 for a while, but it began to get bogged down recently and would freeze up almost daily forcing a hard shutdown and reboot.
Sometime yesterday, it began to boot only into recovery no matter what option I tried in the Cyanoboot menu. From there I tried a factory reset and wipe dalvik to hopefully get back into CM9 and here's where the strangeness really kicked off.
Clockwork (which was running off emmc) would freeze in the middle of the factory reset just like it would when CM9 was running (the graphics would degrade slightly upon inspection of the screen).
So, I grabbed my old sdcard with clockwork recovery on it to boot from sd, and I run into the same problem again. Freezing before a wipe, factory reset, or install from sd can complete.
Now, after each failed attempt in clockwork (sd and emmc) it sticks at a backlit black screen and after a hard shutdown refuses to boot (sd or emmc) for about an hour, only to repeat the madness again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try from here or familiar with a similar situation?
My sd clockwork version is 3.2.something and I've also tried 3.0.1.something.
UPDATE: For reasons unknown, my Nook seems to be booting regularly as of this morning. However, I am still unable to get a successful flash out of any rom. The closest I've gotten to success is stuck in a boot loop. I think from here I'll likely be able to figure it out, but just as before...
Any help is welcome and appreciated!
I had the same problem with the black screen when trying to install different roms on mine. I just kept clicking the power button and after a few minutes it would kick back on every time.
There is an entire thread specifically on this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
As far as CM9 I can't help you much there. I would just try to install a different rom, and hope that works.
Thanks!
I had seen that thread, but I thought my experience was a different; either way, I've managed past that problem using a method similar to yours.
If this helps any, I have been trying to to 7.2 RC1 for a while as well, but it will not get me any further than the stuck boot screen same as the CM9.
Have you tried to follow the tread on returning it to stock ?? I would reformat and repartition it and return it to stock ... then make sure it runs. After that I would try to reinstall the new roms ...
Just my 2 cents

Having an issue that I cant seem to figure out. I have been using various roms eg Omega V7,S4 Google Edition V16, Fox Hound 1.1 etc. They all install fine, factory reset before and after wiping the various cashes as required. I also format the SD storage to be sure, but once up and running, apps installed, every time I restart the phone or for some reason it freezes it just get stuck at the white Samsung S4 logo.
If i go back in to recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0) factory reset does nothing to fix this. I have also noticed that sometimes the internal SD shows as 0 Mb, and I have to reformat this to re-install a ROM. (Getting corrupt some how?) Only re-installing the ROM from fresh seems to get my phone up and running again. Until something happens. Any ideas?
I follow all instructions as detailed, and never come across this issue with my S3.
Ok after trying a few things the only thing that seemed to fix the problem was reflashing stock firmware using oden.
I had to reformat the internal storage again as this was acting like it was encrypted, which it was not. Think this problem that caused my phone not to boot when when restarted.
No Idea why it did this but its fixed now.

Hi all....not a noob here, but nowhere near a dev, and I'm perplexed beyond reason here......
My phone was being all glitchy so I did a complete hard reset, flashed stock MDL ROM, flashed upgrade to MF9 (didn't want to wait for OTA), flashed cf autoroot then philz touch recovery and everything and was running great.
Then I went to flash CM10.2 and afterwards and didn't get a reboot, but didn't want to deal with the unrooting issue so I flashed a different kernel first (which I think may have been the problem.) I pulled the battery and attempted to reboot from being off. All hell breaks loose. It won't load no matter how I attempt a boot, (recovery, from "off") so I decided it may be best just to start the process over.
Odin flash back to stock MF9 thinking no biggie, then when I go to boot things get weird. No bootloop, but it takes awhile then boots but no "main screen" I have the status bar on the top, then when I go to shut down I can see the shut down menu, but nothing else. Blank face.
So....I'm totally lost at this point. I've tried stock kernel, stock ROMs, reboots galore, and I have no idea what component of the ROM is missing. I have no clue how to fix it!!!! Can someone more informed than I PLEASE help???
UPDATE - tried flashing crawjr's stock rooted odex - no dice. Still reboots through yellow logo to "blank" homescreen; I can hear touch sounds when I mess with the screen...it's like the ROM is running I just can't see it?
crawjr's ROM fixed after booting into recovery and factory reset. This can be deleted.
Hi Guys,
Not sure if I boogered something up, or if I'm having an actual hardware issue. All my important stuff is backed-up elsewhere, so not worried about whats on the phone right now, just need to get it up and running again.
I have Philz 6.41.6, and CWM 6.0.4.8. I can get into recovery, and I can get into download mode no problem. Phone will connect with Odin, and I can flash apparently flash without issue. Do have an EFS backup as well.
When I restore a known-good cwm backup, or attempt to install a new ROM (been using xXx ROM with no issue prior), the OS will boot up, but the screen will occasionally flicker, or blackout and not come back. Side buttons respond (vibration). It comes back sometimes, but lags quite a bit. I get a constant "No Service", and it never connects. I can press the home button, but the menu/back buttons just flash.
Tried flashing BL and modem via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52210611 , just to make sure they were good, but no change in behavior.
Read through several topics... Not sure what to try next...
Should I attempt to flash back to stock? Or? I'm comfortable installing, editing, flashing, etc, did it a long time with my old Atrix. Still new to the S5 though, its a bit of a different animal.
I sure would appreciate any suggestions, advice, or instruction.
Thanks All,
Keto
I would definitely try flashing a pure stock ROM thru Odin just to make sure it's not a software issue. Though the issues you describe sound ominous...
Flash stock from sammobile, boot into stock recovery, factory reset
See if it behaves itself after that and go from there
Thanks guys.
I flashed the stock ROM, and did a factory reset. Still misbehaving. I noticed the phone getting pretty darn warm on the back, so, shut it down for a while. When cooled down, it behaves quite well, BUT soon as I load it with anything 'intensive' for a little while, it gets hot. and starts wig'n out again.
Seems like there are some hardware issues, unless you guys have other ideas?
Use KIES and go to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery.
Give it a try
