Stuck at Samsung screen

Thought this might be of help to others, after trying the froyo viper rom for a week, I decided to go back to 2.1, kept getting force closes, so booted in to clockword wiped 3 times and used it to restore to my last backup which was right before I updated to viper. Rebooting the phone it would not get past the Samsung screen, tried booting it over and over still just stayed at the samsung screen was about to odin it when it occured to me that maybe clockwork doesnt replace the kernal or doesnt replace it correctly from the backup, so re downloaded y previouse kernal (mixup) and the restored my last backup again and rebooted, this time it booted up just fine.....but now after a little while i started getting lines running up the screen, kinda like static or a unsupported video mode...hmmmm back tinto clockword and reflashed the mixup kernal again, reboot ........seems alright now no freaky static lines booting just fine back to how I had it before the froyo rom
lol

Clockwork doesn't backup kernel's I don't think. So always keep your 2.1 kernel handy...

Thxs for the heads up...
After trying the "froyo" roms..I've experienced TWLAUNCHER FC loops and not getting all my market apps especially the SlingPlayer that i purchased..which is most important to me..
I was wondering why I would not get back to my EE back-up ..
it was a pain to start from scratch and flash original, then modem, then another froyo rom to see which one worked..
So now you say to do a full backup restore and then flash the kernal after that?
is there a solution to get "ALL" my apps to show up in Froyo market?

Super Optimized Kernel 4_6_8 FORCE CLOSE

Hi everyone,
Pretty new at flashing this phone and looked for answers for past hour to no avail.
I flashed Super Optimized Kernel 4_6_8 with odin (successfully) and when my phone rebooted, I get tons of force closes...same happens with 4_6_5. Any ideas? I'm on JL2.

it happened to me once..the solution is to re-flash your device with a stock rom, use CFroot, place the custom rom in the sd card, flash to the new custom rom and flash again with the super optimized kernel...

BTW...this thread should not be here...

this should of been moved to Q n A.....
im pretty sure u had a lagfix applied earlier, same thing happened to me especially when converting /system usually gets those FCs working hard
id recommend a fresh flash followed by SO kernal -it usually helps a lot with such matters- and use the root/tweaks/lagfix option from there and enjoy....

MIUI on my DX - And my DX experience so far.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience so far. I can't post on the MIUI page because I don't have enough posts, so I'll share here for anyone interested.
For anyone wanting to try MIUI for the DX, here's my experience, some tips, and suggestions.
-Beware, installing or trying to install ANY ROM may brick your phone. although it's very rare and unlikely to be unable to find a solution to problems, it can and has happened. so take caution and read instructions and so-forth carefully.
Some history of my DX. I soft-bricked my phone back in the early months of the DX trying to deodex it to install themes. It was stuck on M logo for 2 days before i learned enough from scratch to find out what an SBF was, where to find it, and how to flash my phone back to stock. Ever since then these nice folk on XDA-developers forums and other droid forums have helped me successfully mod my phone many times, through Q&A, detailed instructions, and a little luck.
I've rooted my phone using the command method, Z4Root, and several other processes. Some were hard to figure out, some soft-bricked my phone, most were easy as pie. I'm on a Z4Root atm.
The first successful ROM I installed was GUMMY-JAR. I liked it, it was good to me. nothing like the comprehensive ROMs out now though.
Then I jumped to Liberty 1.5, Liberty x.x etc... Liberty was awesome, but was still basically Froyo with advanced options. I loved it.
Now, just today, I've installed MIUI. And let me tell you, its amazing!
For anyone running Froyo Liberty ROMs, I believe that you can install MIUI right over the top. I didn't think it was going to work, as I hadn't seen anyone mention if it did or not over the top of Liberty 1.5.
If you want to install MIUI, go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181486
You MUST be rooted, and be running FROYO, NOT GB! You must also have the Droid X bootstrapper.
I won't give instructions, as I'm not qualified to do so. But I can tell you what I did from Liberty 1.5. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! 1) I downloaded the MIUI ROM from the above XDA post to my SD card on my phone. 2) I clicked 'bootstrap recovery' on the DX bootstrapper app, then 'reboot recovery.' My phone booted into clockwork recovery mode. 3) wiped data/factory reset. 4) cleared cache. 5) install from SD Card. 6) install MIUI.zip i downloaded from the link i posted above. let it run it's course. rebooted. DONE.
It's really that easy if you are running the DX stock Froyo kernal.
Keep in mind with MIUI, it does NOT auto-sync your Google account. you need to go into the options>>accounts/sync and add your Google account. You can then re-install apps from your backup or just re-download them. Make sure you've synced your contacts with your Google account so they will be there when you add your Google account.
Some thoughts on MIUI...
There is NO STOCK APP DRAWER. I recommend ADW launcher or Launcher PRO. The MIUI launcher inst bad, but it's like iOS in that there's no app drawer. It's just a bunch of screens with all your app icons like an iPhone.
You can download theme's and customize themes through settings>>personal>>theme manager. MIUI allows you to change fonts, boot animation, boot audio, lock-screen style, status bar, icons, launcher, wallpapers, text style, dialer style etc. There's tons of pre-made packages, but you can also change them all individually and create one you like best. You can do all of this directly from the settings menu including looking up new themes, downloading them, and applying them.
MIUI is running on 2.3.4 GB. So it wont say 2.2 anymore after you install. (I believe the kernal is still Froyo though? Please correct me if I am wrong)
I really hope this helps some of you newbies. I am thankful for all of you that have made posts like this that I have found useful in the past.
Note- some people are having issues installing MIUI. They are getting bootlooped on the M logo for some reason. I have no idea why this is, it worked perfectly for me first try. Just remember to follow the instructions on the ROM page, and that you are running the correct version of Android. You shouldn't get a boot-loop if you do so.
Hope this helps!

i have a question.... and this question is what will decide if i keep this or go back to liberty gingerbread....
how the hell do i flash anything.. i can't even install clockwork mod without getting bootloops.... and i'd love to flash certain apps onto this.... but if this can not be done i will have to go back.... the only thing going into recovery does is use the retarded original recovery... and that is a big deal.. if i ruin my phone on the go and need to pullup a backup i can not do this with this rom and i will end up phoneless until i can get to a computer to sbf

What exactly are you asking? "Flashing" is the process of basically overwriting your current Android OS with an Android OS SBF. If you are trying to install MIUI, you cannot do it with Gingerbread installed on your phone. "You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!" (MIUI)
If you want to install MIUI, i think the best bet would be SBF flashing to stock DX 2.2 .340 FROYO, re-rooting, then using the DX boot-strapper to boot into recovery. Then installing the MIUI .zip from SDcard in the recovery menu. Everything should work fine after that. Rmember you CANNOT go into recovery using DX boot-strapper once this ROM is installed. you CAN go into recovery with this ROM using ROM-manager. This is what I have experienced so far, and what others have said also.

no.. i already have the rom installed... i just want to be able to go into recovery without needing to be booted up.
i'm trying to install some zips through clockwork such as the old blur camera and a few other things... i will install rom manager and see how it goes from there... i love the UI of this rom but as far as being comfortable and stable.. liberty gingerbread has my vote as of now
i've cleared my cache and data several times and i get force closes alot. and this is a clean install coming straight after an SBF.
with liberty gingerbread i had the ability to set it so every phone reboot, even if a battery pull, would boot directly into clockwork mod.. making it easy for me in case i installed a zip that would get me into bootloop

Hmm, sorry mate, I dunno what to tell ya. Try looking aroudn forums or startign a new thread. someone more knowledgable than you or me will help you out.

thanks for everything though!! this really is a beautiful rom and i'd love to stick with it... i'll bite the bullet for the meantime and post around to get some help... i'd love to post in the developer section but i don't have enough posts yet.. haha

You need to install Rom Manager, and select flash Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you select Droid X (2nd Init). Then you can reboot into recovery with Rom Manager :-D

but the problem is that i would like to be able to go into recovery without having to do it through an app... i'd like to make it so every reboot (including battery pull) makes it boot into recovery. thats how i had liberty gingerbread doing it... if not.. i can live with it.. i'll just be a little more careful on what i'm installing

Just wanted to chime in about MIUI rom, I just flashed it yesterday and am ABSOLUTELY loving it thus far. I had no trouble at all installing the rom what-so-ever. I used ROM Manager to do the whole thing: downloaded newest ver. of MIUI, backup current ROM, wipe data and dalvik. Let it run its course and it rebooted and was up and running in no time flat!

stable ROM pls???

hi all,
im new here and i would like to ask for a link for the most stable and fast ROM... i know many of members here already posted this kind of request and i've read some of them but still i think chose the wrong one.. i tried to install the floyo ROM on my x8 last week... on the first two days its ok... but when i tested the wifi, the browser is malfunctioning so i tried to reboot the phone... after that, the system suddenly crashed and some of the apps like launcher failed to initialize... i can't even see the menu that time and the phone always displays the "force close the application"... i thought that i will not be able to use my phone again but thanks to flash tool which i also got here...
i also want a ROM with multi touch... and please the most stable.... if there are some tips and reminders in using custom ROM's to minimize this errors that i've experience please give me a list... i still need a lot of info in modifying my x8... thanks guys!!!

Nearly all 2.2 ROMs are stable, and if you want Gingerbread, use GingerDX or MiniCM7 (I´d recommend you GingerDX).
You can also use KuyaDroid, but I did never use it and so, I don´t really know how fast and stable it is.
All those three have a fully working camera.

My tip is that you do a full wipe before installing ANY new ROM, to avoid those errors you had.
Like codfreak, I also recommend you GingerDX 010, very stable and fast.
If you are lucky to have a Cypress digitizer on your X8 you will get multiTouch.

This is my recommendation
Froyo/cm6:Froyobread because is Final
Gingerbread/cm7:GingerDX is most stable cm7 for daily use
More description Here

Froyobread most stable rom ..or u can also try floyo 0.30 ..its stable as well..atleast for me..

I think the GingerDX v.6 i currently use on my phone is very stable. I know v.10 is out there but right now im to lazy to do a full wipe and so on. The only problem i had was when i first did the installation from stock 2.1. to GingerDX v.6. I did not do a full wipe before the installation and the phone did hang at the CM logo.. I rebooted and did a full wipe. Since then the phone has been rock solid. Everything i have tried on my phone works. One minor bug is that when the battery is realy empty (as in: the phone closes itself) the X8 recovery comes up the next time the phone is started. When i do a reboot in the recovery-program a "master pin code"- question is popping up. I just click never ask for this again or something like that and after that everything is fine..
I´m very happy with the GingerDX!

Hi... i have a new problem... i updated my phone yesterday using pc companion to restore its original ROM because it was bricked last week... then i rooted it and installed the busybox, root folder and xRecovery.. i wanted to test this "STABLE ROM" on my x8..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
so i installed it using xRecovery.... i tested everything and it was great... i installed some app and games on it and tried to transfer the installation using app manager to save some phone memory... i also installed the launcher pro...
i reboot the phone to see if the xrecovery is working for backup if ever i encounter an error again using the ROM... and its working...
the last thing that i did was testing its wifi... its already in obtaining ip status... but its always disconnecting and after several disconnection, the phone reboot and suddenly its showed a message that "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly" (can't remember the exact message) and telling me to "force close" it... i rebooted the phone several times but it always shows that message... so i tried to access the xRecovery but it doesnt appear and i tried it many times....
is there something wrong on my installation process?? or this is just a bug of that ROM??? i've read some feedbacks on that thread but i didn't see a wifi problem on others and "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly"...
i just dont know why can't i access the xRecovery... PLease Help me T_T]
Thanks a lot for the feedbacks guys!!!

for me, the stable rom is minicm, it's standard
but i like feature on GDX/Froyobread

Hi mikel_0004 If you still can boot your phone, why don't you re-install xRecovery? and then restore a backup...
If your ROM was working BEFORE you started installing apps, then the problem should be some app you installed OR uninstalled, Did you uninstall any system app?
...tried to "transfer the installation" using app manager to save some phone memory...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are you talking about SystemAppRemover ? what did you "transfer" ?
About DSP manager, you can safely delete that app from /system/app with root explorer. (I read it has problems if you are using kickass module)

@mikel_0004:
If you have your ROM's backup, you can try to flash back to stock ROM, re-root and re-install xRecovery. after that, restore your backup.

Pretty Weird Soft Brick

I wasnt sure where or even if I should post this I normally use V.5 as a daily driver but I wanted to try the latest Hydracore OC kernel with latest JB Paranoid Rom. Everything was cool on ParaJB, as it has been in other test drives, except that I kept losing root whenever I flashed Hydracore, and I know thats been reported many times but I couldnt fix it and I started thinking that it might have something to do with the way the PreRooted gb roms are rooted. No idea but anyway heres what I did:
I wasnt sure if I should flash try to SuperSu .96 from CWR to regain root (I think that I should have) so I started over and downgraded to gb via PC Odin using a pre rooted GB rom. I booted, confirmed root then flashed JB Paranoid 2.1 from recovery, booted and updated superuser in market and updated to latest binary in app.
So I try Hydracore again now that I updated the binary confirmed root GB to JB, but I lost root again with HydraCore so I was thinking, based on what i had read, that I probably messed up with Superuser but letting the market update it every time and that I should have downloaded and updated the binary with SuperSu instead. I really dont know why I didnt do that in the first place but I do that carelessness can get you into trouble.
So I flash the pre rooted GB again in PC Odin but this time I get into a bootloop and I cant even boot recovery...soft bricked? Tried to flash it in PC Odin a few more times, its flashing fine wo errors but no change no loop, its just stuck on N7000 logo.
I went back into download mode and did the standard download a stock gb rom, hope 4 the best procedure. This time it got further, it actually played the music, which I took as an encouraging sign that stock recovery would work & it did (I was a little nervous but I worrry 2 much) so I wiped cache, factory reset and finally booted, finally.
I still have no idea what happened and I still have to re-upgrade but I don't anticipate any issues with that. I guess this time I will try to install SuperSu from market before I flash HydraCore and/or flash .96 via CWR afterward I lost root and then Triangle Away.
...I must have flashed a thousand Roms, (counting other devices) but I cant remember ever losing the ability to charge. Only now do I realize why it always says have at least 50% charge, you really dont want to try flashing wo a lot of juice.

OC version of hydracore is not stable for all Notes. Try to reflash everything from Odin, use Speedmod

Well I am glad that your phone is back to life. In your post I can not see that you have made a full wipe between flashes (GB and the custom rom). Maybe a wipe cache and dalvik could have helped. As you were already told, Hydracore OC version is not for all devices and might behave ramdonly so try to flash the Standard version of it.

iam pretty sure that I got tge wipes right but yea it wasnt a huge deal just strange
You don't want to wipe after you replace supersu either BC then you will lose it right and it will cause some sort of binary issue, is that even possible?
So I am pretty sure it was in fact an issue w supersu vs superuser
BC I am now once again using hydracore 3.4 OC group B wo issue (and its GREAT btw i love it) on paranoid v.5 w full root rights retained...but i dont think i csn factoryvl reset now wo losing root unless I first tell superuser to update ot bibary and retake control of root from Supersu then uninstall Supersu, or something like that, I haven't experimented enough to know what's what
So if u want to flash hydracore u just have to update supersu after you flash paranoid and probably any other Rom thats includes Superuser
From what I have gathered, if you download and update the binary from with SuperSu it replaces super user (as there can only be one at a time) I've found, at least on paranoid rooms, that if before you switch kernels you need to let supersu become the primary root binary and then flash hydracore you will retain root rights...messing around with the wrong binaries or perhaps having 2 might have messed up things when I went back to pre rooted GB and couldnt boot recovery, so I had to go back to stock
Hopefully this helps somebody who might have similar issues
