that is the only backup i have but i cant access even the home screen thus i cannot go into that backupandrestore app to restore my phone...
help please! someone!

Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)

The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?

i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T

I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.

same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit

i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works

[Q] Strange Problems on my gt540 !! Plzz help me out

I recently found the phone numbers in contacts being displayed like 123-456-789. Previously it was being displayed without "-". I tried to change the locale & regional settings but it didn't work ! Why is it so ? Now After I factory resetted the phone & selected locale & English (US), though this problem got sorted out. I am facing two new problems. My Android market does not update itself !!!!!!!!! & the progress of the ongoing downloads does not show/appears blank. I am very worried. plzz tell me what to do !! i am using stock 2.1 V20c (India) ROM in my rooted gt540. Previously I never had any issues with my phone. Plzz help it's urgent. I have tried to master reset my phn 5 times hoping the problem wud get solved but it didn't.
New problem- new downloads take a lot of time to start after they have been queued for download

well... I`am not sure if this will help....but i had some issues with market not updating itsef and displaying wrong letters in system...so i formated my system, boot, data and cache partition through clockworkmod recovery and then restored from backup, after that everything worked fine...now, I assume you don`t have a backup, or clockworkmod recovery....or do you??

No.. I dnt hav a backup. Recently when I rooted my phone I deleted everything in the system cache folder and also removed some built in apps like SNS,layar,task killer, vid editor and wapedia thinking this wud free up internal memory. I think that is where the prob originated. Now tell me wat to do...

Try to flash ur phone with M6 or something like that...
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

I would reinstall the operating system (and i suggest you to do that)....first install rom manager from market.. if you can..then while still conected to internet install clockworkmod recovery (you`ll see an optyion in rom manager) when you do that..try to boot into recovery by presing power button (first shutdown your phone.....) and home button, when it turns on(holding) if you get something new...a menu, that`s recovery... now go and make a backup of you existing system....that way even if you make some bad choices you can always get your system back.........from this point you can put any ROM you like.... just download wanted ROM put it on the root(outside of any folder) of your sdcard ond go into recovery and choose instal from .zip.........I don`t have the time to search the stock 2.1 ROM v20c for you to install...you could try google
EDIT: here you can find all ROM-s, even a backup of 2.1

@ssik -- thanku so much 4 d detailed info..buddy.. as far as the complete list of original stock ROM's link goes... I already hav the link.. so u didn't hav to search it 4 me...anyways since u hav already done..thanx a lot..i owe u a lot 4 dat. so dont get disgusted..since I am new to this modding thing I feel frightened to hav my phn bricked while flashing...so I was asking 4 any othr alternative.

How to select my device in rom manager ? Since gt540 is not present in device list ? Does my phn's firmware needs to be fastboot enabled so that I can install clockwork ?

@matcho do u mean 2.0 m6 clockwork recovery ?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

you welcome @sujitmohanty .....while in a rom manager (conected to internet aswel) just press flash clockworkmod recovery, wait till its finished and then try to boot into recovery mod as described, if that doesn`t work then we`ll do something else.... let me know if it works... and ask for any help you need... I was also as frightened as you in my beginnings )

ok dear..got it ! I wil be definitely doing it but today. I will be carrying it out tmrw cozz now its 8.23 p.m here in india and I am feeling bit tired. aft I do it, I wil b informing u in this thread or thru PM. till then take care.. and lastly once again thank u very very much for lending ur support and instilling confidence in me.

The guy above is telling you BS. You cannot flash clockwork on our device through ROM manager. It must be flashed in fastboot.

I think there is but it is untested and only just my theory.
Also, it doesn't matter what fastboot rom you flash, they all work the same, regardless of country etc
EDIT: Look at this..
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...id-2-2-on-your-phone-for-total-newbs-like-me/
It tells you everything on how to flash a fastboot ROM and that.
Ignore step 1 btw, it is un-needed.

well it worked for me..belived it or not
he could also use a program on the market called yaffsexpert with the recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img ----> ***.mediafire.com/?sax544hf3cye3gx (www insted of ***)
on root his sdcard.... less risky for him

I tried that but it didn't work for me before lol I've just went for the old fashioned fastboot method Also I was on about the ROM Manager thing because it doesn't support our device.

flash_image you mean I remember this method but didn't want to suggest it because I didn't try it on non-fastboot ROMs.

@vinod- I am from Odisha (previously spelled orissa) in india. I stay in it's capital Bhubaneswar and u ?

Unable to flash through ODIN.

I am unable to flash either ROM or Kernel through Odin. Although the ODIN detects the phone and initiates the process it virtually gets hanged after that. i have left it running for more than 5 hrs but to no avail. i have tried virtually everything possible factory reset / cache clear. in the recovery mode while using the install from sd card it is unable to mount to the card.
I have tried flashing the rom almost 20 times today but at all times it just freezes at different stages - sometimes at setting up connection, odin mode.. check plcatform verification or VerifyPlatform:V2, P9,R2.
I have even tried changing the cables and different OS but to no avail. Please help as now i'm not able to even start the phone...

I have had the same issue while I upgraded my G3 from eclairs to froyo. In my case,Odin just got stucked at "downloading logo.png...." .
What is ended up is downloading the Rom again and re-flashing it. Don't know how lucky
this post is for you but it worked for me.

[Q] Please Help. Phone stuck on samsung logo

Hey. My phone got bricked due to an unknown reason while using the Omega custom rom. I am able to access recovery and download mode. After flashing stock firmware for my region, the phone gets stuck on bootscreen. I've tried wiping data and cache and everything and also using pit file. It says pass but gets stuck on bootscreen. If I try to install any other custom rom also the same problem occurs. If I try installing CM I get a black screen. I can't take it to the service centre as my warranty is void. Please help.:crying::crying:

have u done factory reset in recovery ?

Help phone is stuck in bootlogo

i have the samsung galaxy s4 i9500. Ive only had the phone for about a month now. I decided i wanted a bit more customization so i rooted my phone. I had found out that you could get rid of all the bloatware on the phone so i moved some of my seemingly bloatware apps to user so i could remove them. Halfway through the process my sister canceled it on accidednt and my phone crashed. It is stuck at the blue glowing samsung logo. The device will boot into recovery and download mode. I was stupid and forgot to turn USB debugging on before i did somthing to my phone and now im stuck. Im not sure what to do. I have tried flashing stock rom using odin on a pc. Not sure if i got a bad dl or what. Im running 4.2 and could really use some help.
Thanks

Mate easiest way out is to flash stock 4.2.2 again from odin and start all over.....
PS did you try from recovery , clear dalvik and cache ......if not helping try factory reset

Your best option is to reflash a stock rom. A factory reset won't help because you deleted the apps.

You current stock rom?
If you were on 4.3 flash 4.3 or higher.
If you were on 4.4.2 flash 4.4.2.
Uncheck auto reboot. Let it flash and remain idle for 5 mins.
Then start your phone.
There can be no way this does not work.
