Galaxy S i9000 (Bell Mobility) wont start. Rooted with LagFix.
HELP!!! I cant get anywhere. Can anyone solve this
What happens: it starts up with logo and sound and then to a black screen. Any attempts end up with the same result
What I did prior:
1 installed CacheMate for Root Users and busybox
2 tried CacheMate for Root Users (didnt want it)
3 uninstalled busybox (when I installed, I noticed it showed 2 other versions installed. I searched and manually deleted them)
4 phone shut off unexpectedly
How I tried to fix:
1 tried to reboot
2 pulled battery tried reboot
3 pulled sd card tried reboot
4 pulled sim/sdcard tried reboot
5 vol+ home pwr
6 vol- home pwr
7 pwr menu
8 even tried heat up trick in desperation
vol+/vol- + home + pwr are disabled
can't restart to apply 3 button fix > can't get into recovery > can't reflash without 3 button recovery
do you remember if the USB debug mode is enabled or disabled?
if it's enabled, then you can let it boot and do the
adb reboot recovery
or
adb reboot download
if that doesn't work the only way to fix is to send it back to the store for repair
If it goes to the Logo screen, then when it goes black if the back and home buttons still light up your internal sd card has crashed and you need to send it in for repair at bell

This. Been there, done that, wrote the book. Me and my buddy. Stock too.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
It's bricked... internal SD is fried.
To confirm, if you can get into Upload Mode, flash a 2.2 ROM, which will give you the ability to get into Recovery mode... once in recovery mode, it will show you the Internal SD error that I'm talking about...
Take it back to the store before your 30 days are up - no use trying to waste time fixing it...
Happened to me as well. I was on my 10th+ firmware flash. Went to JPD or whichever 2.2 came right after JPC. I install RyanZa's OCLF and within one hour it crashed and wouldn't boot.
I was able to run JM8 or any 2.1 Firmware but without Internal SD. I was just running off the internal 2gb partition that it created off the external SD when it can't find the internal SD. Thats why when the internal SD is corrupt, the phone won't boot into android without the external SD installed.
In the end it was 2 days before my 30day replacement, so I took it to bell and had it replaced.
Running stock update 1 for bell (JH2) with Voodoo 4 on current replacement.
Hey, I also have this problem. I originally bought it semi bricked. The phone was not even showing the boot screen, but I managed to flash so now it does the above.
What are mu options here. Im not a Bell Client so they won't give me a replacement. I'd prefer not to spend money sending it in, but will if i have to. But i doubt that bell would take it in even if I did pay because im not their customer...Telus obviously doesn't support the Galaxy so I can't go to them either.
How were you able to get it running off your memory card? I don't mind doing that actually!
I had this happen to me once before and and i did a factory reset and i worked perfectly! and now its happened again and i believe my internal sd is fried! kinda really sucks

Call samsung direct.

I have a stock unmodified defy updated to 2.2.2, recently the phone started constantly rebooting, usually it stays on for about 2-5min before it goes off or reboots, either plug-in or not. I thought it would be some problem with apps or something like that, so i reset the phone to factory settings and the same kept happening. The phone never reboots in bootloader mode or in recovery mode.
Since this wasnt working i decided to install a custom rom or even the stock roms in wiki in this forum.
Through the times i flashed the phone i only used the custom recovery once, do i have to use it for each time i flash it? It is really hard to keep the phone on long enough to install the bootloader each time.
the phone was a stock uk unlocked debranded version i got from expansys.
Now I installed a 4.5.1-112 Orange GB 2.3.3 with MotoBlur stock sbf version
All i done to this version load the bootloader and install it. the phone is dead now with no response connection to rsd lite or white led. (which i am about to try to sort it).
All i wonder is if it is me installing the sbfs wrong and because of that it is not fixing the reboot problem, or if this has happened to more people and does anyone knows a solution for it?
I have installed 2.2.1, 2.2.2 (stock) and modified from a tutorial in here and now 2.3.3 as mentioned above.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
Now you're in 2.3.3. Have you try boot into stock recovery and do total wipe of cache/data, and reboot again??
A lot of people forget this step when they do the flashing and restoring process..

you need to have custom recovery , wipe data and cache , then try or else search this forum (defy) for fixed sbf of your choice and flash that and then root and load your rom

I left the phone overnight without the battery on, and this morning for some reason i could reboot to 2.3.3 at first the phone stayed on without rebooting for about 30mins, but soon it started doing the same constant rebooting now it doesnt even go past the moto sign.
I have wipeout now the cache also and no changes.

What do you mean for a fixed sbf? That is a new term for me. It is really hard install the bootmenu thing because the phone doesnt stay on for long in the android os!!Is there any other way to connect to adb?
I got a fixed sbf and attempted to follow all the steps stricly, but when i dowgraded from gingerbread 4.5.1-112 Orange GB 2.3.3 with MotoBlur to Uk 3.4.2 froyo stock sbf from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933555
my phone this time gone really weird:
All i managed to do with this sbf was to root it with superclick, before it gone off again.
yesterday Saturday 03-12
-When I put the battery in, the phone refuses to go on, or to get in bootloader/recovery, after a few minutes the boots automatically and gets stuck in the moto logo (sometimes it goes off sometimes just stays there for 5min or more).
- If i plug the phone sometimes it stays off with the white led on, but rsd doesnt detect it, neither it goes on bootloader/recovery and sometimes it boots automatically sometimes doesn't come on at all.
Today:
- Tried to get the phone on this morning, it wouldnt go on or go into bootloader/recovery, then eventually it started up on its own and got stuck on the moto logo, i took the battery off and tried again, the phone wouldnt come on again, but eventually it started on its own and went to the bootmenu, where for the first time it crashed there, and it didnt recognise usb cable. I tried again and the phone booted up on its own with the usb cable to the bootloader,it gave the ok status for the usb connection but rsd lite never recognise it. Now it wont go on at all.
Please note that i have a desk charger and all this was done with a nearly full or full battery.
Does anyone know if the phone is completly dead now or if there is anything else I can do?
Thanks for the replies.
Mine just rebooting too
Dear derviansoul (",)
Hope all is well with you.
I just have the rebooting issue, like what you said (stayed on for 2-5mins before it goes off to reboot; phone never reboots in bootloader or recovery mode).
What i did was:
- i fell in love with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0-11 & 7.2-rc1 recently (thanks to Quarx & all in CM for your hard work);
- i had 32gb microsd card & decided to spent my hard-earned $ on a 64gb microsd card for this wonderful phone (due to CM, not Motorola);
- Sandisk microsd 64gb works AFTER erasing in Settings -> Storage;
- then, using Symantec Ghost 8.2 to clone my 32gb microsd card into 64gb;
- after putting in the clone-completed 64gb microsd card, the phone starts rebooting as described above;
- i tried to put back my own original 32gb microsd card, but the rebooting still happens!?!;
- in Recovery mode, i "wiped cache" & then go to "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache", but problem remains;
- i formatted the the 64gb from Recovery mode, and manually copied the contents of the 32gb to 64gb using my WinXP computer, but the problem still remains!;
- (my solution) in bootloader mode, i go to "Tools" -> "share sd card", then from my WinXP computer, i can see the microsd card as Mass storage device, i deleted ONLY the folder ".android_secure" which is more than 2GB large.
- now there is no rebooting, and i just need to reinstall my apps from the Play Store, & my settings and data are all still there *sweet*.
Hope this helps.
Motorola Defy (red lens) cm7.2-rc1
So, the other day I was excited to see the TWRP update to 2.0. I've enjoyed the TWRP 1.x line for quite a while so I figured, why not? Then the troubles started. As that post of mine says, I cleared up the initial SD issues (not able to mount in recovery) with the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command. I reverted it to TWRP 1.1.1. It still boot loops (both the recovery or system) quite often, requiring another enableqxdm and reflash the recovery. Each time I reboot, I have to cross as many fingers I can find the house and hope it gets through to the system. I had to go through 12 hours at work without my trusty phone to occupy my down time. Talk about grueling! Then I get home, turn it on so I could do some more fastboot magic, but missed the volume-down in time. It boots right into the ROM that time (not the 14 times I tried at work!.
Now, when it does successfully boot into the ROM (jaredthegreat's ICS Alpha 2.3) the notification bar is forever saying "Preparing SD Card." It ran all night and still wasn't done "checking" for errors. I have another 1GB SD card I tried, just to make sure it wasn't my normal one, and it does the same thing. I have formatted it (with Panasonic's SDFormatter) a few times, and still no luck.
I don't quite understand how flashing a ROM (even if it goes bad) would overwrite the phone's own settings (like enableqxdm) or cause this sporadic boot looping. I have been reluctant to flash another ROM, but I think it's the only thing I haven't tried.
Does anyone have any other insight into the how/why, or something else to try to get the SD card to work in the system, past this "preparing" stage?
So as to confuse myself even more, I have found that I can get past my boot-loop problem by just plugging in a USB cord. Whether it's my AC charger or my computer, for whatever reason, it needs a cord plugged in to get past the white initial EVO boot logo.
Now to work on the SD issue. I have read that deleting the fsck_msdos bin from the phone "fixes" it, but I haven't gotten my Windows adb to recognize my phone when it has any ICS ROM yet. Is it an HTC Sync/Driver issue or Android issue?
Sounds like you need to go with the ics-deck-pa8 ROM
Hi guys, recieved my phone back from T-Mobile all repaired and working again
I ran the Advanced Hack kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821&highlight=ace+hack+kit, followed the instructions, it all went well, said it completed. Phone hung on T-Mobile flash screen for 15 mins. Pulled battery, powered up, hanging for another 15 mins.
Powered up into Hboot, still S-On.
I can access Clockwork recovery OK also.
Phone still hanging, so selected restore factory settings. Hangs at flash screen.
I restored my Back-up of RCMix3D (probably a bad idea, but ran out of things to try). Rebooted, hangs at T-Mobile screen again.
I'm pulling my hair out now, what can I try??
I wanted to try the Hack tool again, but it won't connect without the phone booted. Also, I tried running an RUU, again it won't run without the phone booted.
I just copied the stock T-Mobile PD98IMG to the SD card, updated, went smoothly, now won't boot at all

Well,
if you talk to attn1 again, please tell him to contact me.. I'm stuck with my dhd aswell.
My problem is:
Few months ago i rooted my unbranded DHD, installed CyanogenMod 7.1, it worked perfectly fine for a couple of months, but a few days ago, my phone was on but did not respond anymore. I tried to reboot it, but it got stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo (sometimes it bootloops, other times it freezes)
I rebooted the phone with the volume down key pressed, so it would give me that menu,
scrolled down to "Recovery", i get the recovery menu from ClockworkMod, but then my volume key does not work ! i can not do whipe or anything else, the phone freezes.
I mounted the SD card in my PC, cleared it, put a rom in root of SD card and call the rom "PD98IMG.zip" and put the SD card back in my phone. I start the phone with the volume key down pressed, i get that
white screen with the menu and it then finds the .zip file.
It then reads the image, parses the image and then tries to load "NV.img" on which my phone freezes again.
I tried CyanogenMod and LeeDroid, and a stock rom. They all do the same thing, as written above.
When i connect my phone to my PC, my pc tries to install the driver, but gives me an error, saying the device is not known. I have installed both HTC Sync and the SDK. Tried it when i had only HTC Sync
installed, did not work either.
I also tried a RUU (.exe file) but this program tells me there is no device connected...
My phone is over a year old, so i have no warenty anymore, that's why i rooted it.
My lcd screen cracked last year, so i gave phone to local service and they repaired last week. I am trying to install a new rom for days but i cant manage.
I tried cm version13 and aurora, but my torch doesnot work. EVen in camera, in flash mode. Should i again open phone and look if there is a problem or it is about software?
And other question, i cant mount my internal sd card. WHen i open es file, it only shows /sdcard, and nothing more.
Now i opening storage, total space 1.40 gb, apps 32 mb, intrnal stroage 1.02 gb and i took of external to see. In file exploerer, again i can only see sd card0. I cant see my system or anything. 1-2 years ago i could see my system.And i connect to pc, there is only one parttion. 1-2 years ago there were 2, one of internal sd other one is phone memory.
Please help me to solve this. And i mneed a rom that is only fast and using battery nicely.
Why noone helps now i cant open phone. Swm 5.0.8 cant mount sdcar sdext and i formatted data so it cant opened. How can i fix that? I want to go back to stock rom to see if there is sd card is working and myt torch isworking.
You can mount phone on pink screen and add the latest recovery from there.

Thanks rqmok. You are a great helpful person. You are trying to help me for days.
I went into pink screen. It automatically went update (i had put dload to stockr room update ,). Then i tried to open but still rebooting without oğenning.
So i went into rewcovery but i saw that it is android recovery, not cwm i installed. So i tried a lot of tgihngs.Then i installed aurora v20, but ittis interesting, i opened phone after that insstallation. It shows 2.3.5 rom, stock rom original rom.
I did not understand that.
And my flash again doesnot work. Should i give this back to the repairman to solve?
PLease looık my pictures.
pic 1 shows my first original screen. It was cracked under door and there were a lot of scratchs on phone screen. When i opened phone ,i could see scracths. So i bought from eb ay and gave a repairer. He made it. I dont know if it was well.
Then i put my foot on it slowly, but it again cracked. But i could not see scratchs. When i opened the phone, i could only see light not scratchs. So igave to same repairer without buying a screen. Pic 2 shows my 2. screen that came from ebay, there are no sctracts.
Now , my flash is not working and torch. I tried in a lot of roms. IT is not about software i think. And i have to press a lot of times to enable phone.
What do you say about that?
OK. Please tell me the state of your phone right now. What ROM do you have? What recovery do you have?

I am in loop. I cant open phone so it goes into pink screen, but updating from sd card. Then it again cant be opened . So i go into android recovery and flash aurora or cyangemod it doesnot matter. Sometimes it doesnot see , doesno mount. Then it restarts and 2.3.5 stock rom. But after 1-2 restarts, i cant again open, huawei logo only appears and restarts alot of times. So i again go nito pink screen because if i go into recovery, it cant mount. Fİrstly should update.
Without sd card, i went into pink screen but my computer could not see the files.

You can't view your sdcard files from pink screen.
If you are able to install a ROM and make it work then that will be good. But, you have said that this happened after replacing the screen. So, if you can open the phone and check for any disconnected cables that need to be reconnected then you should fix them. There should be a video on YouTube on how to do this. If you cannot do it then you will have to get it repaired.
I dont have screwdriver, i have 3mm, it doesnot work.
But after screen replacement, i used aurora for 7-8 days. Then i thought partition was wrong and deleted wiped. Now but i cant install a rom. İ nstall aurora but it opens 2.3.5 with pink screen.
What size screwdriver do i need?
Now in android recovery i wiped daya, wip cache and then restarted, then trierd to update on pink scrteen, it gave error. So again wiped datya. Now i could open it. it shows 2.3.5. İf i restart, it will be deleted again i guess. What should i do? Wİthout power off, update? I will try to install cwm
I tried to replace recoveryimg but i failed. Because ihad to install superuser, so it rebooted and phone again cant boot up, restarting a lot of times. I dont understand what the reason is
Again, i did revocery android, wipe data and cache , then rstarted. After a few boots, 2.3.5 opened. Then i again restarted and now it is trying to start again 10. times. I n my ext sd, there are dload and other zips, that can be reason? I dont want to delete those because if i delete, it will be hard for me to insatall those files
Now it is restarted, huaewi logo appears, then pink and colurful fireworkds, than black svcreen and contunes....
After wipping, i restart and it is fine, i could go into 2.3.5. But when i again restart, smetimes it again opens but as soon as desktop opening, it starts to begin,
android stops working
calendar stops working
a lot of windows. I click end activity but it repeats alot of times.
So, my original stcok is damaged or what?
I'm sorry I didn't reply for some time.
So, apps are force closing. Do you have system partition installed? Did you try going back to stock-partition?
Please try going back to stock partition, and if you can get logcat then please upload it here.
Thanks.

Not only apss, android system also huawei etc. I cant even click restart button to restart phone because of popups windows.
So when i click restart, sometimes it open 3. times but still apps closing, then restarting and cant show huawei logo. and botoing up in inifinite loop.
Stock partition, i will try but i wont be able to do it. I donthave cwm and in android recovery i t doesnot accept, cant mount sd card. I can only go into android recover, can only do wipe data cache, cant mount anything. Theen only can restart and sometimes i try to update in pink screen but failed in half of 1/2. So, how can i go to stock partition without restarting phone while open?
I think the 2.3.5 rom i downloaded (Portugal or Korean i dont remember) is can be damaged or wrong. But i think i cant change that too. I am locked.
What i should do, i dont know.
Still cant do. I go into android recovery, wipe data and then after 2-3 restart, it boots. Then if i restart, there are a lot of windows appear showingstop activities. So, i put first 2.3.5 then ginger bread custom app to dload in ext and int sd. Then after wiping in android recovery , i made power off and with + - and power, i made update. This time updates were successfull. It could make updates. But after updates, again could not start. After loading huawei logo, it restarts.
I cant change recovery because i cant install superuser because it should be restarted but if it is restarted, cant start.
I can only use sd card, after wiping data, until one restart .
Please help.
