hi, i was running simply galaxy, and decided to try flashing MIUI. I have all the files and I flashed the CM7 Kernel. Im not sure if its just the way its supposed to be and its taking long, but when i reboot my phone after flashing the kernel, it appears to be stuck at the clockwork mod boot logo. is it just taking long or am i in trouble?
If i am in trouble, please, tell me how i can fix it.
I can get into recovery,
I can NOT GET into download mode
so its stuck at the vibrant splash screen or does it go to the boot animation?
I think its soft bricked. Its stuck at the clockword mod logo screen that comes with the kernel.
OK UPDATE
. I can NOT GET into download mode. please, i need help
You might have to buy a jig :/

I can get into recovery though.
Can you flash or select options?

Yea, i can actually mount USB storage.if i found a stable ROM, flash, then factory reset, this could possibly work, right?
by the way, recommend any daily, stable ROMs?
Okay you are at the orange recovery right?
If so then no the only rom you can flash is miui or cm7 okay
Go to mounts and storages then format system .data .and cache then flash miui the. Factory reset and reboot

flash the miui ROM or the vibrant-efs backup?
getting into download should work if you can get into recovery. take everything out, the battery, sd card, and sim. now put the battery back in then press down vol up and down while doing that plug in your usb cable.

I tried that before, it didnt work. I just dont know what Alanrocks15 told me to flash- the rom or the vibrantefs backup. i need the OK to flash either one becasue im very afraid i might brick this.
Ok so at this point you can only get into recovery but not download mode, what have you tried to get into download mode? If nothing is working your only option is going to be to make or buy a usb jig which can be had for 8-15 dollars.
as to flashing you would have to flash the miui ROM from recovery, tho if you have a bad download you will just end up in the same if not worse place. (MIUI or CM7 is a bad idea for your first flash ever).
additionally i suggest reading the noob guide on rescuing your vibrick:

So I rooted and switched ROM's many times on my MT3g, and now that i'm trying it on my MT4g, I'm having hella trouble.
So I got to S=off and its perarooted now, with ClockworkMod Recovery image: 3.0.2.4. I tried to update the Kernel to KB-Kernel-2.4.8-108-CFS-SV... put my phone with the stock ROM into a boot loop, so i restored it. Tried to update the Kernel then immediately install CM-7.0.0... again put it into a boot loop, and had to restore. What am i missing here? Should be partitioning like with my MT3g? Should i be wiping? Is there something else I should be installing?

That's your problem. You can't flash a kernel before the ROM, because the ROM's standard kernel immediately overwrites it. Try wiping all 3 items in the recovery menu, flash CM7, and then let it boot. Once CM7 is stable, try flashing your kernel. Just make sure it is compatible.
Sweet, thanks. Hopefully it works.

Wipe factory data
Wipe catche
Then go into advanced wipe dalvik
Should take 30 secs max to wipe, 5 mins max to install and reboot
Then flash your Rom and reboot. Once its rebooted then try flashing the kernel. There is no reason that won't work assuming you do have s-off

If what Mark said doesn't work, I'd look to a corrupt recovery image, or more likely a bad download or SD card.
Aww... I'd be hella sad if I had a bad sdcard. My problem was that I wasn't wiping the correct things, but now thanks to you great people I finally can flash again! Thanks!

Glad you got it working. If Mark or I have helped you, maybe you could hit the thanks button.
Make sure when you do a kernel you wipe cache and than davlvik and than flash the first time kernel and than repeat the process and than flash your desired kernel.

Please be more specific.
What tutorial did you use?
Did you download clockwork recovery?
Do you have the superuser zip?
If you can enable fast boot and fastboot flash recovery you should be able to mount your usb storage in CWM and then install a ROM and the su zip.
stuck on the nexus s boot screen

i used the one mentioned in addictive tips website (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-s-with-a-single-click-using-superboot/). i basically followed what these guys had mentioned.
since this failed i read that the other option is to go through fastboot > recovery > and clear everything but this did not change anything.
can someone give me a step by step guideline on how to continue. i dont mind going back to the stock 2.3.4 android. i just bought the phone yesterday
Which version do you have? The sprint or t mobile? Check if you can go into fast boot hold down volume up and then powerbutton. If not you may have to Odin it if not. That super one click looks old..

If your ROM flashed incorrectly, it would lead to your phone being in a state where it just shows a GOOGLE with a Padlock; kind of like turning on a computer without an operating system.
You would have to read the instructions on rooting your phone, which involves using fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot (All this is in the rooting guide). Simply reflash the recovery so you boot up back in recovery and try flash the rom again.
The same happened to me, I fixed it buy flashing a stock boot.img
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thanks for the replies. how do i flash from the fastboot mode? when i plug it in to my computer i cant see the drive but my computer can detect the nexus s is plugged in
Set up adb first, they have the guides in the dev section, I used wolverines guide, you'll have to look for the software img, I don't know where it is at for the GSM model. Good luck

Sounds like you're rooted and have recovery installed, but your OS is hosed.
Flash a ROM.
thanks for the replies guys. i have the adb setup on my laptop. i took it to one of the stores and he said he cant reflash it for some reason. he said he needs to get some software off samsung and it will take him a day. my phone is brand new and i didnt wanna trust him. do u guys think i should use odin? one of my friend has a galaxy s and he said odin should work fine on my phone.
Can you get into the ClockworkMod recovery menu? Turn the phone completely off then hold VolUp and Power until you get into Recovery.
If you get there, you're golden. Just download a ROM (I recommend Deck's) and away you go.
i can get into recovery but it gives me option like wipe everything and i selected that. but when i reboot the phone the same locked screen pops up. anyone from toronto here who i can contact?

Basically with those wipe commands you make the Rom unuseable. You have to flash a new one or apply it via Odin. There are various guides on this forum section. Odin requires less technical knowledge but is a bit more risky then flashing via recovery. Odin and the Roms for that method can be obtained from samfirmware.com. Zipped roms can be found in the development section here.

flash through recovery go into the bootloader (bootloader=phone off volume down hold power) use the volume rockers and go to recovery and boot into CLOCKWORKMOD recovery which is what you said you have then do a full wipe and install rom normally. if you cant do this then no offense but you really shouldnt be messing with your phone... if all else fails download the stock rom and flash through the bootloader
wen u say install rom normally..wat do u mean?? i did carry out a full wipe..n rebooted my phone..but froze there!!

download the ROMNAME.zip put it on your sdcard where you can find it then go into clockworkmod recovery and go to install zip from sdcard choose zip from sdcard navigate to where you saved your ROMNAME.zip select it and it will install use virtuous sense and stick with that cause if anything happens you seem new and i dont think you will know how to fix it...
and wiping isn't gonna magically fix the fact that your operating system is f'd up but you should wipe before flashing a new rom cause it will screw up the new rom flashed
leme download and flash with a new rom! thank u!..

The clockworkmod method doesn't always work.
Mine right now is doing this same problem and when I go into recovery Clockworkmod only gives me the red triangle of death. And yes, all my recoveries are flashed with the correct versions. (I know what I'm doing)
Sometimes there's just a series of things that all goes wrong in the perfect order.

unfortunately I have nothing saved................... Is it possible to get the tab back to its orginally state?
Holding volume - and power will boot into recovery mode, you will find the wipe options there. Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Go back and wipe both cache and data and then reboot. Cross your fingers haha. Worse case scenario just wipe a full ROM if my first suggestion doesn't resolve the issue.

ok got it now where do I get a rom. any kind of rom to flash with odin. This devices has no roms on its sd. I can't get adb to pick it up and it won't show me usb storage so I have no way to flash anything with it. So im stuck.
I am far from an expert on this stuff but here is an idea.
If you can download an app from the market and are rooted, try installing Samba Sharing which will allow you to see your SD card on your networked PC. If you get that far, you should be able download whatever ROM you want to the PC, transfer it to your SD card and install it.
As part of the process, you should probably try to backup whatever you have on the Tab first.

Go to recovery wipe everything then boot. It will ask you to setup the tab, input your wifi info, connect to wifi. open a browser find xda search for galaxy tab 10.1, go to development thread, and download the rom of choice. Power off boot into recovery and install rom

For ROMs you need to just copy them to your storage on your tab, then boot into recovery and flash them. Odin installs .tar files and the likes. Sounds like your best bet is to find a stock recovery image/file and push it through Odin and then re-root and copy a ROM and flash it in CWM.
hi，guys,i got a LS980 to CM11 and then it keep restarting,and at last i made it dead,so i send it to the LG,but they told me it's no longer under warranty,and then sent it back.This afternoon i received it,but found that,theyve already installed the KDZ or TOT something(sorry i m a newbie i really don;t know something) so that i could get into the original system and recovery,but it is still keeping restarting,sometimes it get restart at once i get into the OS,once it give me some time to think of what happened and then just shut down.i asked some one he think i that's a error of partition ,need underlying data or something，and suggested me get back to XDA and ask for help cuz lots of masters could give me a hand.so could some one help me?i am so anxious,forgive my poor english.

So your phone will boot but turns off.
You need to root install custom recovery and you could reflash one of the stock rooted roms.
You also could try to lg flasher and flash stock but must get into download mode.
