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:

Believe it or not, I just flashed the ROM (like Alan said) and it worked! I dont know how, but it did! i didnt use odin or anything.
When I saw the port for ICS come out I got really excited and flashed it right away. Then I realized for whatever reason I didnt have SU permissions so I couldn't tether to my computer. I was disappointed but I thought, "no biggie, I'll just restore from my back up." When I flashed my back up the SU app was in my app drawer but I still couldn't tether. As a matter of fact I can't do anything that requires SU but the bootloader still reads unlocked. WTF?
I can't flash a new recovery either. I tried installing from ROM manager, I tried pushing it from my computer but I can't get to the recovery any more. ROM manager says that I have CWM 5.0.2.0 currently installed but I can't get to it at all. Again, WTF?

^clearly the phone is working perfectly fine with the stock ROM from the back up but obviously I want my SU back.
Root your phone and read the development thread versus making blog posts.

Thanks for not answering my questions. The bootloader is unlocked but I don't have root and I don't have access to recovery mode even tho ROM Manager says I have Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.0 currently installed. I cannot access the recovery mode AT ALL. I cannot flash or push a new recovery but it fully boots into Gingerbread w/o any issues. What is wrong with my phone and how do I fix it.

Try from rom manager to reinstall a previous recovery version.

That doesn't work either. It goes through the prompts but it doesn't actually reboot do the installation.
I just tried unrooting and then re - rooting but that didn't work and I think that actually wiped my phone completely. I don't even know where an SD card would get into this thing.

Is that the right name of the recovery img? Try renaming it to just recovery and see if that works.
Edit: make sure your phone is in debugging mode. And uninstall then reinstall the drivers on your computer

manually go into recovery with volume down and power flash the su.zip and u should be good to go that wat I did
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
No suggestions have worked so far. It does not matter what the recovery image name is, whenever I try the flash it Terminal says that it cannot load "***.img" or if I try an install command it says that it cannot find "***.zip" I'm on a snow leopard iMac so I don't need drivers n such.
Let me pose the question like this, what would I do to completely restore the phone to factory condition and try to root it again? Like I said before, the bootloader says that it is unlocked but I do not have any root privileges, could not access the recovery I had before nor install a new recovery after having locked the unlocked the phone's bootloader again.

go to the link above and follow the directions for returning to stock.
find yourself a one-click root method on XDA that includes superuser, busybox, and CWM.
EDIT: Also, double check the md5 sum for the CWM .zip. use
Code:
md5 recovery-aaaaaa.img
in the terminal and make sure the output matches whatever is given on the CWM site. if they dont have one up, ask for it
NS4g one-click root app:

this will:
unlock the bootloader
install cwm 5.0.2.0
root
No commands, no messing with pushing files manually, etc. This thing has already saved me from major headaches while restoring my phone once and I've only had it for 3 weeks lol

I missed that...my mistake
Don't know if anybody already knows this....
I had a hard bricked GT-N7000. I messed around and had it stuck on Factory.FS following a full wipe, same as many others. I then messed around with the partitions (PIT) file on ODIN and ended up with a completely dead...absolutely nothing....GT-N7000 ....jig did nothing either....totally dead
I took it to a phone repair shop who got it back to life and managed to flash with a JTag. However, he said that the phone would not accept any of the GT-N7000 ROMs - as suspected.
The surprising thing is though, he said he got a full GT-i9220 ROM with PIT file etc. and it flashed no problem.
So I ended up with a fully working GT-i9220
I've since, with the help of the patched PIT file, switched it back to a GT-N7000
I just thought it was interesting how the i9220 would flash on what was a hard-bricked Note.
This is really interesting.
If it was a true superbrick (I think it was because of the wipe and flash problems) then if you could get more info from the guy that performed the JTag this could be a way out from it.
Please try to get more info of what was his procedure.
Thanks
Very interesting, just wondering how much space you have remaining on your internal SD card?

Truely intresting
How is it possible to flash any rom on a super bricked mobile
My note once got bricked due to emmc bug..I followed a process shown somewhere in xda and got my note back to life with a loss of 3gb internal memory
I think it may be something like that
could u share that link ?
is that process for superbricked devices which is not goes download mod or recovery ?
i heard that there is only way to fix superbrick emmc bug change the mainboard..
When I first got it back I'm sure there was 10.86 GB available. But since then I've put Paranoid 0.4 on and a load of apps.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
My guess is, that if you have done a full wipe and cannot get a GT-N7000 ROM to flash, that an i9220 will flash with a standard i9220 PIT file, bootloader, etc.

Sorry but that process is only for those who can enter download mode but not recovery
In that case phone is not totally bricked but there will be no other option other than this

N7000 dead after repartition a non emulatedcard
Pleazse help//
i using TWRP recovery mode.. and i done a stupid thing.. i repartition a non emulated card with swapon.. now my phone is totally dead.. no recovery and download mode.. odin also cant read the phone..
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
please help..
This is extremely frustrating.
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4.
I then downloaded CMW and touch, and downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
I then booted into recovery, and wiped etc and then installed the rom. I read on the later part of that page that there wasn't a need for loki so I did not download loki.
I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

I have installed kies on the windows version and it notices the phone is connected, but it just keeps saying "connecting..." and a little thing spinning. Not sure how long it should take to connect...
why not download the loki zip to sd card, then put back on phone, reboot to recovery and install from sd card...

the OP of that ROM lists these specific installation instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
* Download the ROM (NO NEED FOR GAPPS)
* Reboot to Recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM
* U.S. MODELS - Flash Loki Patch - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip (CANADIAN USERS DO NOT INSTALL)
* Reboot your Galaxy S4
* Enjoy
remember to read everything first and understand what you are doing before proceeding. cheers
And only 5 simple steps. One sec of reading. And it matters. Or kaboom.

Its very strange that you can goto recovery or download mode but phone not complete flash....good news is you have not completey bricked your phone phone cause you can still flash and enter recovery try lastest firmware na5 is leaked but newest. ...or try custom rom...philz recovery may work....also what rom are you trying to flash
Also a screen capture of odin when you get error as well wil help...
