After a unsuccessful update my focus stuck on samsung logo and now won´t power up ! any ideas ??? thanks all
Mine is doing the same but it shows the Samsung logo and rebooted. If you have warranty or insurance. That would be the way to go

Put the Focus in download mode (press vol up+camera+power at the same time) and flash a ROM from Focus WP7 forum here

also, try replacing the sd card as it could be an issue.

In my case I flashed a rom from that forum and got the same result, then I removed my SD card and tried to flash the same rom and got the same infinite boot at Samsung screen too.

Seems you need an USB jigger. Look for it on eBay or Google cheap

I am having the same issue.
My phone won't reset to factory settings at all so I tried UCJK2, Rogers ROM and everything I could but no matter what I do, it installs fine and then keeps rebooting on that white Samsung Logo.
After every rom I gave it at least 30 minutes and it kept rebooting on that Samsung logo. Anybody able to recover from that boot loop?
I use USB jigger and nothing , it seems i need a motheboard ! but the sellers on ebay don´t delivery in Brazil ! so if anybody need my parts we can talk about ! many thanks to all guys !
Had a similar situation. When i first received my focus, it seemed to work ok. First thing after initial boot, I attempted to load a 16gb sandisk micro sdhc card, using the steps outlined in the users manual. Phone froze up during installation. Afterwards, I was stuck in the samsung logo loop. I searched the forms and tried every possible remedy. (hard reset, download mode etc.) Was able to attain a bit of progress by removing the memory card and hard reseting the phone using the original 8gb of storage, but that only worked for a few hours, then went back to samsung logo loop.
I eventually sent my focus to samsung. It took them nearly a month, and 3 'pba replacements' (which i assume is the main board), but it was finally fixed. Not sure if the memory card caused all that. They were able to retrieve the phone's warranty based on the IEMI #. No other documentation required.

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.
1-888-751-4078 (i'm assuming your in canada) and send it in.
Tomorrow morning my Focus stops booting. It shows Samsung logo and then reboots . Any ideas?
Try "3 buttons" first (volume down+camera+power). If not helps, replace by warranty.
It doesn't help.

Do you have a microSD card installed? If so, remove it and try booting it, and then follow up with the 3 button method if it doesn't start working immediately.
If that doesn't work, take it to where you bought it and replace it.
No I don't have micro SD card and it restarts before I can launch hard reset procedure with 3 buttons. It really looks like a hardware problem and the only way to solve it is to replace
Will try to find any papers for this device

Ok i will show what i done to make it work.
1. Remove Sim card.
2. Turn on phone
IF it show "Memory card not working" go to step 3
3. Turn off phone.
Hold Camera button and press Power button.
Phone will show image connect phone to pc. when you connect you can recovery phone from last backup.
But dont do that.
Just hold power button til phone off.
4. Now turn on phone again. If it pass, it will boot to norman, but without Sim card. it Will show Sim error.
Leave it at this. and connect to Zune. and make update.
Note. Phone will random reboot when connect to Zune.
I retry 4 step above until Zune update it to OS 7.10.8107.79 and my phone work well after that.
Note2. You can try flash phone to stock Mango be for do 4 step above.
I use LG-E900AT-00-V10p-234-15-SEP-02-2011+0_DZ to flash my phone.
ok thanks, now it makes more sense, but I'm stuck on trying to get how you want to update, if phone is already up to date??????
anyways, i can't try it right now, because my phone is on repair, and I'm shure they'll last a month. I got the big probability, that I won't get the phone repaired in warranty, because they'll see that its Vodafone Brand instead of OPN. so i'll try your method. I don't think the phone is phisically damaged, it doesn't make any sense, an SD card is hard to damage. what I suspect, is that there's some fragmentation problem, and the memory card need some sort of scandisk or format. Sincé its not posible doing it manually, the way of reflashing or updating the phone, seems to make the job. my only fear is, what will happen if the phone reboots during the process, but It wont happen if its only a fragmentation issue.
Is it still covered by warranty? Send it to service and don't bother. And if they can't repair it, ask for money back.
I got my Optimus from service (rebooting) - it was fine for a month and starts reboot again. I bought it one year ago and under European law I still have one year more. I expect to get my money back because what I see it is just factory fail, no qualify for repair.
LG fixed the phone for me, but they screwed up with the ambient light sensor (didn't work anymore). So they gave me a new mainboard...

Thanks for posting this, I fixed the memory card issue using the above steps. However, I encountered the same issue again a day later, but again it was fixed using the above steps. This seems to be software related issue and not hardware as if it was hardware issue I shouldn't be able to fix it using the above steps.
I am going to try and revert back to previous Windows phone version.
This is hardware error. Nothing can help.

hello
can you please tell me what stock rom is
I had this problem befor 4 days and i become veru angri. I put it in the desk. Today I tried to turn on the phone again and surpriсе. It works again, without problems or crashes. It has fixed from himself without my intervention. Sorry for my bed English
This is a hardware problem !!
All the solutions given above will work, but only for a short period of time.
When you try to download apps to your phone and reach a certain amount of memry usage, the error will come back again.
Been there, tried this ! The only real fix is to send your phone to LG. I got it back and it was working again :good:

Nope. I really don't know what rom it was running, because ordered this off Ebay.

This is why I wondered about the USB port.
Same story, after many reboots i was able to boot into OS. Strangely, removing the battery and waiting for a couple of minnutes (maybe more) seems to do the trick. The phone boots up and you can really use it... until the next reset. Installing all the updates - to mango - was a pain in the posterior... and the phone works.. sort of.
I think that these phones are just faulty and if there is a way to return them - do it.
Hi all,
I have a stock mytouch 4g and yesterday it froze during an update. After rebooting it a few times to no avail, I did a factory reset and still got nothing, it just kept getting stuck on the beginning image.
I factory reset it without the SD card, and it booted (showed me the introductory video) but then as it was asking me to set-up my e-mail accnt it froze again, and that was pretty much it. I reset it every which way after that and got nothing but it getting stuck on the first image.
I also can't go into recovery mode, nor fastboot. On recovery mode, it shows me the alert red triangle sign with an exclamation point.
Please help?? (I refuse to believe my phone crapped out bc of an update! =[ )
Thank you kindly,
Nasja
You need to find the stock rom and place it on the root of your SD card and then boot into hboot and it should ask you if u want to install update then just wait for it to install and your phone should work fine again

I had the same type of thing happen to a phone I'm looking at for a friend.
He lent it to me because it wouldn't boot past the mytouch logo. It would boot into boot loader, but wouldn't allow us to select wipe data / factory reset. I tried to apply the update through the Bootloader like preciously mentioned, but it kept hanging and wouldn't load after 10 minutes or more.
I've noticed it's extremely delayed when it even runs the scan in Bootloader for new recovery and other updates. It probably takes about 45 seconds to do the scan.
Anybody have an idea what's causing this? I read in another thread that it may have been caused due to the phone overheating.
