[Q] Nell Help - Boot Loop (fixed instructions)

EDIT: She's back. The problem is that there's many sets of instructions out there... some that I think are for not-so-bad bricks (if there's such a thing) and other (longer) instructions for bad-brick. LOL
Anyway, HUGE HUGE thanks to soundcolor over on AllDroid for his in depth instructions. The part that saves my a$$ were the parts that came after the rdlite run when the phone goes into boot loop again even after the reflash.
Link to his instructions here: http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=762
Anyway, hope that helps other people who might get themselves into a similar situation!!
I could really use some help here.
I tried to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749692
I was upgraded to 2.2 and before I installed it, there wasn't any post in the thread saying that you could install it on 2.2 (it said it was for 2.1... but lots of things are and still work on 2.2 so I didn't think it would be a major problem other than maybe not working).
Anyway, i followed the first step and pushed the framework file and it put my phone into bootloop.
So I tried to run rsd lite (sbf) and it did it's thing, but I'm still in bootloop.
Am I totally screwed here?

after the sbf finished did you take it off the usb, take out battery then put it back in and boot up from there?

hi paul. thanks for responding. see edit to orig post. all fixed. thanks though for helping out!!!

my phone wont restart after the framework-res push ....???

well, does this actually fix a bootloader problem? im just stuck at bootloader and i can't get into recovery or anything. just straight to bootloader.
also does bootloader erase all the files? meaning like roots and all?

need serious help ASAP! Please!

Tonight I decided to mess with my phone. I flashed eugene's new r13 rom, got it working fantastic. Then. I decided to try a lagfix. I heard of one in the market so i searched and found an "unofficial" app that applied the voodoo lagfix. needless to say it messed up my phone big time. At first, it restarted and some voice said "converting partition........not enough space on partition." So reboot into recovery mode and to my surprise its a diff, voodoo, version of clockwork recovery. I look at the voodoo options, cant find anything. found the area to partition the sd card. I partition 512mb i believe with no sway (i think). phone restarts. freezes on galaxy S screen. try booting into recovery. will not work. tried 10 times. tried to reboot into recovery via adb, phone is recognized and reboots but doesnt get to recovery mode, just galaxy S screen then freezes. I have NO idea what to do! Please help!!! if i left out any info, please ask!!!

first restore back to stock via Odin.
second, root and install roms again.
third, use your newly working device to read the post about non-development stuff going in the Q&A section.

adb reboot download and use odin to flash back to stock (froyo or eclair) there are plenty of threads on how to do this method. Best of luck

Use ODIN to go back to stock. no?
Umm, calm down, i think you will be fine.
Although some people are going to scream at you for putting this in the developers section.
Can you get to download mode? Turn phone off, hold down volume up and volume down at the same time, but don't touch the power button. Then, with your usb cable connected to your computer, plug the usb into your phone, while still holding down the volume buttons.
If you can get to download, then can't you just put your phone back to stock using ODIN?
I'm not an expert, but I'm assuming that should work for you.
edit:
I just uploaded odin, and the tar and pit files you need to get back to stock JFD.
I found all these files in xda originally, but didn't feel like finding each thread individually, so uploaded them on sendspace for you, much faster than searching the forum for each of these.
ODIN latest version:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/o0ivp2
Pit file:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/j9ytb3
JFD tar file:
still uploading...will post soon. ...nevermind upload taking too long, found the download link providing by justanotherdev
http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/T959UVJFD.tar
I'm not an expert, but maybe you should ask everyone else if it is safe to ODIN to stock once you have messed with a lagfix and partitions.
good luck

Sounds like a trip down the "odin" lane to JFD is in order for ya. Go to the vibrant bible sticky, grab odin 1.70 and the JFD stock ".tar" file. Follow the tutorial posted, should get you back up and running.
p.s. wrong section...
EDIT: This should help you out

Correct. I'm not going to scream, but it's generally bad for to post "help me help me" threads in the development section. Either post them in the appropriate ROM thread (in your case, the thread for R13) OR in the Q&A section. Otherwise, you'll get posts just like mine that probably wont be as nice.
As for your issue, you have a soft-brick. Download ODIN, download the correct PIT and TAR files, follow the instructions in the ODIN thread to flash to stock and start over. Thats the only way you're going to fix your phone at this point.

im sorry if i placed this thread in the wrong place, im kind of new here. Guys, i really appreciate the help! can someone point in the direction of how to use odin? I have literally no idea what it even looks like or how to install it.

Also check the bible
the Vibrant and gallagherm1993 guys are right, but when you have flashed 2.2 it is safer to use the disable voodoo lag first (may not work cause you are saying it some hack version) but I d go that way first then flash the eugenes froyo that does not brick.... no repartition (do not check that box) reboot back to recovery then flash back to stock when going back to stock, you do check the repartition...from there, you can do anything you want
There is in the 1st page a thread that has a complete zip but not the froyo that does not brick you will need to get that from the bible sticky
good luck

hey wolf...look up a couple posts, i'm putting all the files you need there.

The only way to fix this is to use odin. Are you familiar with odin? You better be! Since you played with VooDoo without really knowing what you got yourself into, you need to do this.
You will lose all of your data!
First ODIN Eugenes froyo that doesnt brick. Search for it here on xda. Get used to using the search feature. Then after that you can odin back to jfd and work from there. If you read enough, there are ways to work through this. Good luck and if you still dont get it, PM me.

Why does he need "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick" ???
I was Running Axura 2.0.5, and used ODIN today to go straight to stock JFD.
Then I flashed the leaked JK6 froyo.
what is the point of "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick" ?

if you flash a rom without disabling voodoo, the partition stays as ext4 eugene's froyo that does not brick reformats that partition. JFD doesnt work the same way.

Follow this guide, if it doesnt work look at the other tutorials in the BIBLE section in Development.
Follow exactly no skipping steps.

Ohhh I get it. So people who f*cked up their partition or messed around with a lagfix, should use eugenes froyo that doesn't brick first. BTW eugene seems to have pulled everything off xda, I can't find that in the search.

Your phone is totally dead... give you $20 for it.

I'm all for lending a helping hand, and it's clear that all the relevant information has already been posted, but it still amazes me how often people will attempt to modify their device without doing their homework first and then freak out when things go awry.
I know I've f-ed up my phones plenty of times either by bad builds or not paying attention to details, but I've never thought the best fix would be to start a new thread on a forum under the assumption that I'm the first to have this problem or to avoid having to search for a resolution.
We all start somewhere and are always learning as we experiment with new tricks, but jeebus cripes people, why would you install something risky without having a backup plan in case something goes wrong?
Ah well, whatever. Sorry for a useless response.

[q] help issue flashing cwm3!phone stuck!

I'm sure there is another post about this but I don't know where it is, have looked, a little, but, just want my specifi ? answered. So, have Epic and went to flash from CWM2.5 to 3. Followed all instructions and 1st time didn't flash right, so, reflashed, again, sidenote, I followed all instructions correctly. Anyways, seemed like everything was fine until it rebooted after switching all to Ex4 and from that point only Samung bootup screen appears and nothing else. In addition, have been unable to do 3 finger startup since the reboot. Help, esn swapped to my POS Hero that's slower than slow until I get some advice. Thanks.

I did the samething when I installed cwm 3. U gotta take ur microsd card out and insert it into a computer using an adapter. From there dl a rom of your choice, place it on the sd card, and then flash with cwm.

Yeah, it sounds like the rom flash after the ext4 upgrade didn't "take". Try what the previous poster suggested and if that doesn't help, look up the Odin posts on this forum. Even if you can't "3-finger" into some form of recovery - as long as you can put the phone into download mode (holding down the "1" key while you power the phone on), you can use odin with 99% success.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and maybe I can try to walk you through it without you getting bashed on here! LOL

He doesn't need odin. The CWM3 flash he did was successful. He just needed to flash an ext4 ROM to get past the Samsung Boot screen.

That's my thought as well. What rom is the OP trying to use? Is it ext4 compatible? Using a rom that isn't compatible with your file system is one way to get stuck at the Samsung screen.
Although, if ext4 didn't "take" or was partially completed, it could result in something like this. Reflashing with cwm3 might fix this if it notices a problem and tries to redo the conversion.
If flashing a good ext4 compatible rom doesn't fix it, then using Odin and starting over quickly becomes the best option. Though there is a reRFS dk28 rom that the OP could try to flash from his current situation.

Ok flashed Midnight Standard and goes straight to CWM3 startup screen & that's it. So, am I gonna have to do the whole Odin thing? I really hope not. Oh, and fyi I'm a SHE not a HE, lol!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

There's a girl on our website! OMG!
Look for the reRFS dk28 rom. It will try to reformat your phone back to rfs. Then try again. Or just go ahead and jump straight to Odin. Some people seem have a hard time with Odin, but it really isn't that hard.

Ok, thanks for the input. Screw it, just going to do Odin and not mess around anymore. Not having a phone the last day in a half is driving me nuts! Can you point me to a link that has all the stuff I need to do this. I've surfed a couple links and some lead to dead link for Odin. Besides, I want to make sure I've got all the right "ish" to do this. Thanks, so much!

Froyo Update Won't Install

I have the Samsung Fascinate and I recently rooted it to get all the wonderful benefits that come with rooting.
I downloaded the leaked Froyo update, renamed it "update.zip" and put it in my sd card folder in order to update.
I then turned off my phone and pushed the power button plus the volume up and down until I got to the boot screen. I kept getting an error saying it couldn't verify the package (or something along those lines) and then it sent me to a screen with the triangle, exclamation point and the little droid guy.
I also tried using Rom Manager but the same thing happened.
I hear you are supposed to use Odin, but I am running on a mac and Odin is a windows application.
Please help me, I'm desperate to get the Froyo update on my device.
Thanks in advance.

Yikes u didn't do any research at all did you?? U can't use Odin on Mac....and u need it. Do u even have cwm? Probably not since u didn't Odin. U need to Odin cwm...Make a backup...Odin eb01 modem...flash rom. Update.zip is not correct...u don't rename .zip roms...you flash them via cwm. Not trying to bash u....but you are way off...and getting help via forums will b tough.
You need to go to irc and be polite and find some help there. Someone should hopefully be able to help you...I will b on eventually.
sent from my vanilla voodoo fascinate

I did my research but if I'm not literate with how or what a CWM is or how to use it, that doesn't mean I didn't do my research.
But are you telling me I can't install the update without a windows computer?
I have access to one where I am but I would rather know all the steps before I get on someone else's computer and start trying to figure it out there.
I looked through all 50 or so pages of the Froyo leaked thread and I saw a few people who understood all these things, but if I don't understand and there isn't a tutorial it makes it harder for me to accomplish my goal.

Can your phone boot up?
Someone varify my directions.
This might work if u can get into download mode. U need to find all the links urself since I'm on tapatalk.
First off...find a pc. Without one you can't do anything. Put ur eb01 rom on sdcard for later. Instal the 32 bit or 64 bit Samsung drivers depending on ur pc. For many..its the 32 bit. Then get Odin. U will need to find a link to cwm...if I'm not mistaking there is one on like the 2nd or 3rd page in android development section...will say updated cwmq for dj05 or dl09 or something like that. Find directions of how to use Odin...but simply place the cwm.tar file in the pda section on Odin...then click start. When that's done...u should make a backup...however...u may not b able to boot up because of what u have already done. U may try odining the eb01 modem. Once u have that done...hold up down and power to get I to your new updated cwm. From there click instal zip from sdcard...and flash ur eb01 rom of choice....wipe wipe wipe...reboot system.
Again...this may not work since I'm not possitive what u already did to ur phone by not doing your research. Like I already said...be polite and head over to irc. .someone will have more time than I do to fix ur phone.

You obviously didn't research. There is an eb01 walkthrough on fascinate development section...impossible to miss. If ur incompetent at following step by step directions u should not be Modding your phone. Seek help and knowledge before doing anything...u don't want a 600 dollar paper clip do you?

Not everyone out there is as "smart" as you may be with modding but that's what this forum is for. Questions and answers, not smartass replies that don't help at all.
I appreciate the other posters response because at least he gave me information with no attitude. If you want to help someone, help them, don't demean them and offer a little advice.

Honestly, you haven't done anything to your phone yet, so it shouldn't be running any differently than it was before.
There is a way to push CWM using ADB and Terminal on a Mac, but you would still need Odin to flash the modem, so might as well do everything that way. Download this Odin package from Android Central, and flash that using the PDA box in Odin. After that, you can flash a different 2.2 ROM or theme if you like

The only thing I am having trouble with is how to "flash" something.

Go to the Eb01 modem thread and read it. They will tell you how to "flash". You download the modem, plug in your phone, select PDA in ODIN and hit write or whatever...
It's as easy as reading and searching,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948679
Not searching for things will get you flamed, ignored and banned (If not reading the rules). The reason I suggested you flash back to complete stock is because until you know what flashing is, difference between a ROM and a Radio...you are in dangerous territory of bricking your phone.

Guys, I'm also new to this flashing thing, but I've used Odin before and have read all the steps in the EB01 thread. My question is: can I install EB01 on top of stock, unmodded EA28 (which is the latest Eclair from Verizon) without wiping my data? All sets of instructions I've read include wiping, wiping, wiping... But since the new ROM is supposedly signed with the same Samsung/Verizon key as my current ROM, why shouldn't I be able to just install it on top, without wiping my data?
Or is it that because the guy who posted the ROM actually modified it, it's no longer signed with the Samsung or Verizon key?
I searched, but didn't find. I think the answer to this may be relevant to the original poster of this thread too, that's why I'm posting here.

It's always recommended to wipe. Those that don't are typically those who end up complaining about bad battery life, force close loops and utter suckageness...now flashing let's say super clean 2.0 to 2.2...that's fine bypassing the wipe, but imho that's the only exception.

You can install without wiping (saying from experience) as long as you dont mind problems later. I had plenty of force close problems and widget problems when I didnt wipe data.
Most ROM here are modified, to help protect the person who leaked it.

Interesting. Do we know the cause of those problems? How come no such problems exist when you update OTA with a similar official build?
I'm a developer and it seems weird to me that if you're starting with a stock ROM and upgrading to another stock ROM, apps will have issues. Or are the issues due to the fact that the newer ROM is still buggy (and that's probably why they haven't officially released it yet)?
Also, it doesn't hurt to try, right? And if I do get problems, THEN I can just do a simple wipe and start off clean. But if I don't have huge problems, I don't have to go through the trouble of restoring all my apps and settings, logging into everything again, etc.

it's not hard to restore apps/data, use titanium backup.
go ahead and try it without wiping, just do a full nandroid backup first. then if it sucks or you get funny errors you can revert really easily. I'd wipe with a major change like this, but if you're determined to try it there's really no big downside. just back up!
I ran EB01 over the weekend, didn't like a couple of things and was back up and running on DL09 in no time when I decided to switch back.

Its recommended to wipe but I've seen it a lot where u OK not wiping... u can try without and it u get bootloop just do a wipe. Like posted...titanium backup is ur bff when I mod.
Also about the post about me being rude.. I gave u the info u need...just telling you to research. U said u did, and I pointed out u didn't. If your not going to take the time to learn what ur doing...then expect help ASAP...expect ppl to b a bit rude. Ppl are welcome to help...but if u do something dumb without research...expect people to tell you.
Glad u got it working ok

Just FYI everyone, I was able to to install Froyo without wiping and everything works fine. (except that my home screen shortcuts and maybe even some of my settings got reset... which was one of the things I was trying to avoid... but whatever.). The only issue I've run into so far is that Google Maps hangs for many seconds every once in a while. But I reset its internal cache and it's better now. All other apps are working fine.

You should change the title to "Stuck in APX Mode". Refine your search. I've never had the issue, however, I believe 1 or more partitions are messed up. Which means you will probably have to revert back using TimmyDeans V4 rollback tool at the worst.
Just a guess. But search the forum for those terms. You should be able to find some threads as I've seen several references to being stuck in APX mode.
One place you may want to post your issue, is Skrilax_CZ's bootloader thread. He may know some fastboot commands to wipe the data.

Also remember, before you install a different rom, you must; in CWM
1. Wipe User Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
Then go to Mounts and Storage and;
1. Format System
2. Format Flexrom
Then you can install the rom. If you haven't done this, you should try again.

Try the wipe commands suggested in post #4 and then reflash your JB ROM. A lot of time it helps with reflash the ROM after wipes.

thanks for the tips. i believe i've actually performed them like you guys told me but it seems i've made it worse. my ridiculousness is currently going on in this thread here

I'm having the same issue with this ROM. I'm using the same recovery you are.

if you have any progress let me know cause i'm still stuck in apx land...

final update
Back to stock HC 3.2.1 right now. my issue ended up being unable to format the /data directory causing all my newly flashed roms to not load properly. per JdgM3NT4L's guidance i used the tutorial and tools here which took me back to a working status. now my only problem lies with what delicious rom should i have next? an ICS or a jellybean? if any XDA tutorials or assistance help bring you tablet back, make sure to click those ":good: thanks" buttons guys.
