did lag fix now stuck on black screen!

ok..im new to the galaxy and android phones .. i bought the phone rooted..not sure all what it had but i was running i believe a different rom on the phone, 2.1 update 1 i believe, it had rom manager and clockwork recovery on it, anyway .. i tried doing the lag fix and now the phone just turns on and stays on black screen.. keys at the bottom stay lit up also.. i can get into recovery but not really seeing anything in there that is helping.. can i factory reset or something from this recovery screen? like i said im not real familiar with these phones but im good with directions so if someone can explain how to fix this that would be great! thanks!

Hi, did you try using odin to flash back to stock?
the files you need to flash are in this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Also make sure you have samsung drivers installed on your computer. Which can be located here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
A stable version of odin is in this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790026
steps
1. you will need to download odin..open it
2.Make sure your phone is off. connect your phone via usb and get into download mode(hold the volume keys+power when screen turns black let go of power button) now you should see a yellow triangle with android icon
3.to make sure your comp recognizes the phone.. pull out usb and put it back into the phone.
4. look at the first link i posted and flash the files accordingly and you should be good to go.

ok..i will try it. unfortunately i use my phone to tether so now im back on my blackberry which is SLOW.. odin is saying like 4hrs to download..loL!

I had the same issue. It sounds like you didn't install a BusyBox version that has extfs support built in. I could swear that the lag fix option I pulled down was supposed to have it, but it didn't. If you made a nandroid backup before you tried this, you should be able to get into recovery and restore. If not, you'll have to get to download mode and Odin flash back to stock.
If your phone is hardware locked, with the state your phone is in, you SHOULD be able to do an "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery" to get into those modes.

My tf101 is bricked !! Please help!!

! with the Android guy is recovry, stock recovery.
instead of Vol up to get into revovery, wait till you get options to cold boot or wipe device.

yesterday, i try to root and install CWM via Prime V4.5
then the device comes this .....
Thanks ...

Never heard of that root utility before. You may not have used the right rooting utility for your device which can cause a brick situation. Also, are u sure u dont have the tf 101 and not thr tf prime? The vipermod utility found in the tf prime forum will root ics for both the 101 and prime. My suggestion is that u make sure u have the right device and search the right forum for brick recovery, unroot, or return to stock threads. They are usually found in the development sections.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA

viperMod PrimeTime 4.5 will only root the TF101 and shouldn't be used to install CWM. That's why it bricked.

I might be able to help you... I saw your post around 4am. I had the same problem kinda. Was asleep most the day (got done at 6am).
I rooted with viperMod PrimeTime and it worked !
BUT i forgot to FLASH CWM RECOVERY from inside the app and proceeded to install the new ROM after root was made USING the CWM app. What happened in my case , the CWM app restarted trying to flash the new ROM, WITHOUT CWM being my recovery instead rebooted to STOCK recovery and something glitched up. I had the same thing as you stuck on Eee pad never re-starting. Cold boot wouldn't work or full wipe..In my case something conflicted.
Below is the NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build). You need to re-flash again using APX threw your USB connected to a PC (it self installs) :
http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/tr...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html
the links are in Grey btw and says US version, ect ..read everything but its very straight forward... ill explain what i did toward the end of the post to simplify it since it took awhile to figure it out. Ill add side comments threw the process that explains better than the link.
Attention: These tools are designed to bring your device back to working condition. They are great for getting back to stock if you need to send your device in for repair or you need to downgrade to stock in order to root your device, etc.
Instructions for Windows users:
1. download the file from the original link i gave above. NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build) USWindows
2. unpack zip to desktop.
3. Press Volume up and Power at the same time on your Transformer to enter APX mode, connect to pc (hold for about 7 seconds). Basically, Power off.. THAN, power and Volume up at the same time to enter APX mode. IMPORTANT!! the screen remains BLACK like its frozen ,with no writing or indication something is happening. that's normal and the original poster in the link never mentioned it. That is APX mode..
4. drivers for APX are in there if you need them..inside the windows downloaded file its called NVFLASH towards the bottom
On your PC go Device manager.. if APX is working correctly and the Transformer is in APX mode it will appear as an exclamation on the device manager named APX.. you cant miss it.. it stands out. On my Windows 7 PC it changed and said Asus USB (or something like that)
5. double click Run Download.bat file and let run! everything is prepackaged so no copying files, etc. In the same file you downloaded that you unzipped named Windows its the 4th file that says "download" with a gear looking icons.
Your Transformer (based on what happened with mine) will go threw a self install like its pushing files and flashing it..the black screen looks like its being pushed the files and reflashing without a recovery. Your going back to stock. if you dont see anything on your Transformer screen after running/double clicking the Download.bat file ....Right click on APX in the device manager , properties, Drivers, update Firmware, choose manual install and find the Downloaded.bat file and click it. That should do the trick..I did both and only noticed the Transformer lighting up after manually pushing it threw APX.
6. After the device reboots power it off. Then hold vol- and power until you get the option to erase your data.... Select the option to wipe data.
7. Download the latest update from the Asus website if applicable and follow the manual instructions. This step may not be necessary if your OTA update worked or my nvflash is the latest version. US update on there site is 9.2.1.17.Its the only one...
What i did was go back to stock since i didn't see any interesting ROMS..Point is THAT unbricked my device by flashing it in APX mode when it was connected to the PC.
I did use ViperMod again to Root, but used the Clockwork mod app in my Transformer to FLASH CWM RECOVERY to try a few ROMS out.
After trying a few of them out i choose to revert everything to stock, unrooted and reflashed STOCK recovery.
Hopefully that helps you out.. it did work for me...

Thank you so much it worked great

Glad i could help

Sorry to dig up slightly old threads, but I have a question for you. I have a TF101 that I was trying to update to ICS. It is currently running 3.2 courtesy of the unbricking tool listed in this thread. I had to unstore it as it was bricked from a bad install. That was many moons ago. It won't show an updaate listed, so I decided to go with the manual route. I downloaded the appropriate update (my device lists WW version) loaded it on an SD card had the install prompt come up and rebooted to install... For a split second it shows the android with the gears like it is installing the update and then shows the android with a triangle and exclamation mark. After that, nothing. I have to reboot to get it off that screen. Upon booting, I get a message saying system update failed (2) unknown error. Any ideas?

If Im not mistaken, the zip file you download (I guess from asus?) contains another zip.
Thats the zip you should place on your SD card, did you do that?

Also try renaming that zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip (the one extracted)

I already had the zip extracted, and renaming didn't do anything.

Are you rooted? Did you remove any system apps?
Another thing to try is on your micro sd card, make a folder name ASUS and inside that folder another folder call Update, inside the Update folder put the extracted zip file (don't rename). Turn off TF and turn it back on, see if it will detect the update file.
If that fail, you did mentioned you use the unbricking tool, use that NVFlash to flash a compatible ICS ROM

It isn't rooted anymore since I ran the unbricking tool, and no system files were modified. Placing it in Asus>Update folder didn't work. I may end up having to really do things manually...

You don't need to be root to use NVFlash.

Just when with a slightly older version of the update and it worked. There may be something wrong with the file Asus has hosted.

Hi
I have a slightly different problem. I have rooted my B60 serial number, it has the ICS from ASUS on it and it boots fine, its rooted and it works. Now the problem is I thought lets try a clockwork mod and play with custom roms.
So I set my win 7 up to adb etc, and pressed power button volume button - and off to recovery I went...
but all I got was a little green android on its back chest open and an exclamtion mark. No adb fastboot devices command.
I seem not to have a recovery nor a way of forcing a custom recovery.
Should I NV flash or just be happy the tab works and leave well alone?
Any other answers since a lack of recovery may come back to haunt me sooner or later.
I also tried the power button vol uyp for 7 secs and nothing happens I can get to the cold boot erase data option on power down, don't want to do that yet since Im not sure what data gets erased and I may have a totally non working tab.

Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery

Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery
This is my problem I can't get recovery - nor can I get adb to see the device. It shows as a hard drive/storage device but not in adb.

bricked

first let me tell you how i bricked my tablet... i was on cynogenmod 10 but i wanted to go back to 9 but for some reason because of all the freezing when i was wiping i accidently loaded the official asus rom update US epad etc etc so when i rebooted it gave me that bar and its stuck there i tried to reboot it to recovery but it wont give me the option to go into recovery like it did.
its said something like checking for android ota recovery...so i cant go into adb because usb debugging is not enabled in my tablet because i wiped right so I can go into apx mode because i can see it show up in my devices but it wont do anything with the easy flasher program, it acts like its goinng thru thr proccess but nothing happens on the tablet.....so then i went to try to update the drivers but everytime that i point the apx driver into the file it said that the driver is up to date..... so that where im at now please help me......
I donwloaded NVFLASH but i get that black screen it takes the tablet out of apx mode and the black screen desappears. and i think the same is happenning with easy flasher something is happening at the end that it does not finish the process

You get the OTA message because you removed CWM and moved back to Asus recovery.
You can try to reinstall an Asus stock ROM using the stock recovery. Get an Asus stock ROM (e.g. the one you already flashed), put it on a SD, power off the device and reboot into recovery.
Stock recovery just checkes the SD and if it finds an Asus ROM there it will install it.
I don't remember if the file had to be named something special or not, sorry :silly:

Yes rename to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Remember to extract the zip from within the zip first, rename the extracted zip.

Thanks!
I have done it lots of time but never quite remember if I should use the zip I download or the one inside it, and which name should this file have... I always end searching the same info over and over :silly:

so even if im stuck on that screen , when i put the update in the sd card it will recognize it immidietly without doing anything special? ill try that, i have tried to install the naked driver on all my computers and it wont let me , im getting a message that said that there is no software for my device in the folder.......... i really appreciate the help guys ill try that tonight see how it goes...do i have to format the sd or something or just place the file in root any other options witll be appreciated, what i dont understand is why there is not like a stock recovery or something

i dont think its gonna work because i dont get the screen that allows you to put into recovery i just get a message that states checking for android ota recovery

Well. Ler me tell you how I did it. It's been sometime since I used stock recovery, but I think it's allright.
1. Download the desired stock ROM from Asus.
2. Unzip the file. You will find another .zip file.
3. Rename this new .zip file as baseballfanz said.
4. Put the renamed .zip in the root directory of a uSD card.
5. Power off the TF.
6. Put the card into the TF.
7. Press Vol. Dn. + Power and keep them pressed until power is on and you see a message in the screen.
(Don't do this... If you press Vol Dn again you will get two options: wipe or coldboot)
8. As soon as you get the message in small caps press Volume Up.
Now the TF will look for an update in the uSD and install it. You won't have to do any further action. If it doesn't work the TF will tell you (I think it was and android with a red X, or with the innards showing or something like that :laugh: )
If this doesn't work then maybe you don't have stock recovery installed ok, or there is some problem with the zip file.

How to Re-stock P1000 to Gingebread 2.3 | Guide with Links

NOTE : this is not my own procedure but i just wanna share this with you guys since some tab users here are having problems restocking their tab to gingerbread, i have also added some notes and troubleshooting in case there will be an issue flashing the rom
link to the original post credits of course to the writer > how to restock p1000 to gingerbread 2.3
btw, this is a complete and full tutorial/step-by-step guide on how to restock gingerbread rom, so if you did not download all requirements, restocking wont be successful
my story and experience : hey guys, yesterday night, i softbricked my galaxy tab p1000 which was running cm9, it turned out like that when i went to recovery and wipe all data, cache, dalvik, even system, and boot. i tried reflashing the cm9.zip but as it was installing its update, my tab suddenly boot into battery icon, meaning it was already empty (maybe, dont have any idea), then, since it was already 12 midnight, there were no internet cafes open in our village, so i went out though somehow it might be dangerous for me, then, i found an internet cafe open. i rent a pc, first, i tried to go to download mode, so some drivers will be installed, but it kept showing "unkown device recognized" bla bla.. still.. i didnt lose hope. so i searched on google, and i found this site > http://suzhipackz.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-re-stock-samsung-galaxy-tab.html , when i finished downloading odin, i opened it to check whether it will read my device or not, first three attempts, it did not. so, i thought of downloading samsung kies so the drivers will be installed (safest way really to install samsung drivers), then i still looked for a smaller file (while waiting for kies to complete its download), then i found that there is a smaller zip file for you to install samsung drivers (see attachment below), i installed it, but still odin cant detect my device (try it, might be just on the pc i rented), so i just waited for kies to complete.. after a couple of minutes, successfully downloaded kies, and installed it. i tried connecting tab to pc with odin opened, i rebooted to download mode again and reconnect tab to pc, and voila! odin read my device! so, since pc has already detected my device, i just waited about 1 1/2 hours for the rom and the pit file and the db data file.... after almost 2 and half hours of crossing fingers, i have revived my tab and restocked it to gingebread 2.3!
HOW TO RESTOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB p1000 to 2.3.3 GINGER BREAD STOCK ROM?

Samsung Tab P1000 stuck in nowhere!
First of all thanks the OP for the brilliant post on how to re-stock GB on P1000.
Earlier today I was fooling around with my P1000 to update it from CM11 to Omnirom 5.0.2, troubles started there. I was trying to install the TWRP recovery over CWM, and that is when all hell broke loose.
1. P1000 couldn't mount my internal SD. The tab was perfectly booting to a previous version of JB CM sapir, which I don't have any clue appeared where from. The storage showed the 2 GB internal memory, but the 12GB internal SD was missing out.
And the CWM errors were E:/can't mound internal SD
2. Now, after wiping data, dalvik, battery stats, formatting and all that, the tab doesn't even boot into the OS. The moment the power button is on, CWM initiates a count down saying, trying to mount SD, but unable to do so. After 20 seconds, the tab starts this whole process again, and thus a loop.
3. I tried to re-stock to GB; but my tab isn't being detected by Odin in download mode. Odin detects the tab when it is turned on and when the tab is on countdown-restart-countdown loop; but not in download mode.
I am a total noob, and I don't want to throw my tab away as I am a student and can't afford to get a new one Someone please help me to fix the issue. Thanks in advance!

Well yes, Vol+ takes me to CWM recovery and Vol- takes me to download mode. Odin detects my Tab on CWM; I tried flashing the PIT which resulted in a failure. And on the download mode as I mentioned earlier, Odin doesn't detect my Tab

[Q] Phone not booting correctly, installed a ROM incorrectly

Today I was finally able to get my phone rooted, install SafeStrap and get into TouchWiz. Thing is, I dislike TouchWiz so I downloaded CyanogenMod for note 3. I put the CyanogenMod zip in my downloads folder on my Note 3. I went into safestrap, clicked install, found the .zip and swiped to flash. After that finished I clicked reboot and I got black screened. I then took the battery out and then the **** hit the fan. I booted the device and the SafeStrap splash screen came up along with the stock bootloader android bot image and my screen was displaying all of these colors and tripping acid. I now have taken the battery out and am hoping I can save my device. For some information on the device, It's a Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon running 4.4.2 rooted. I cant even get into ODIN mode... I've been getting tons of views and no reply's so that's leading me to believe it's something major. If it is please don't be afraid to respond and if you need a clearer explanation please PM me so I can get this fixed. I need my phone for work and I picked a really bad time to start tinkering with my phone haha. Thank you so much for reading! :cyclops:

No sure but it sounds like you hard bricked your device ( no acces to download/odin mode or recovery).
"my screen was displaying all of these colors and tripping acid" sounds like a display error.
Put in the battery and keep trying to acces odin mode if the screen is working ( Hold power + home button + volume down) .

What should I do if that doesn't work? I've tried a few times already but I'll keep going at it. The screen has now shifted from "Tripping acid" to a white fuzzyish screen that shows the SafeStrap splashscreen kind of outlined.

Have you tried to boot into recovery? That is assuming you have a backup saved.
Put battery in...hold down power, volume up and home key...when you see Samsung logo let go of the power key only...hopefully it might boot into recovery. Just one idea...

OMG I GOT INTO RECOVERY!! I did make a back up but I did it in SafeStrap. It dropped me in the default BootLoader with a dead android with its chest opened up. Idk if this means something haha.

If it won't let you load the backup, you might could use kies software on a desktop or notebook to recover you device back to stock. Just another idea. Sometimes with enough persistence you can recover a semi bricked device. I sure hope you get it going. A messed up phone will make you pull your hair out....

When I plug the phone in, Kies isn't recognizing it... Thoughts?

have you tried to boot in to bootloader? Take battery out and press Vol down + home button then power button. If you get in there you can use odin 99% to flash an other rom or stock firmware

Today I was finally able to get my phone rooted, install SafeStrap and get into TouchWiz. Thing is, I dislike TouchWiz so I downloaded CyanogenMod for note 3. I put the CyanogenMod zip in my downloads folder on my Note 3. I went into safestrap, clicked install, found the .zip and swiped to flash. After that finished I clicked reboot and I got black screened. I then took the battery out and then the **** hit the fan. I booted the device and the SafeStrap splash screen came up along with the stock bootloader android bot image and my screen was displaying all of these colors and tripping acid.

You must clarify if you can get into download (Odin) mode:
- if you can not there is some major flash corruption going on, not much you can do
- if you can get into download mode you need to write your stock ROM.
