Stuck loading at Samsung logo [STOCK ROM]

i installed some apps and now i cant power on my phone :S
is there any way to reflash with custom rom and to not lose imei and warranty
please help me... thanks.

can you boot into download mode at least?
try booting into recovery, and doing a factory reset. that way the installed apps should go, and your phone should work normal (considering it is the app issue, which i've never heard before)
flashing is pretty safe. you won't lose your IMEI if you flash properly. you can flash a custom ROM, and if something goes wrong while running the custom ROM, you can flash stock and the samsung service centre will never know. warranty isn't that much of an issue..

Darko,
First off power down your phone and remove the SD card.
Now power up and your phone should boot. You can then replace your SD card and you will be prompted to reboot.
I have had this happen to me several times and the SD card trick has worked almost every time.

[Q] GT 540 MMI issue

I have updated my 2.1 to 2.3.4 swift v2 m6 based on cyangenmod 7.1.0 RCO.
Love the ROM
Issues, I paid for the optus unlock code and have to put in 2945#*520# to put in the provided code. The error comes up Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
I have spent a couple of days looking at different forums and solutions, tried extra pauses etc and still the same issues. One suggested going back to original ROM and trying that, however another issue I have is the phone will not boot back into recovery or bootloader, just turn off and stays that way. I have held different buttons as stated in different threads and even hopped on one foot.
I am happy with this ROM just want to get to the unlock menu, any ideas that I might have missed??
Cheers Ernie

Do you have fastboot, the unlock ccode only works on 1.6 official btw

i think it works on 2.1 too as long as the rom has the hidden menu. so best is to try boot into fastboot via power and camera button. (try holding it very hard and long till the black screen appears) and flash any 2.1 rom

No good
Tried the power camera buttons never worked. Is there a fastboot 2.1 file that was like the 2.3 file that you just double clicked on and it installed the new android? So I can just click on the file 2.1 and it will load up?

Ebay? hope not
Or is there another unlocking solution apart from trying to down grade my android, is there a network unlock that can be performed with other software?
Cheers for any help.
I am not really an optus fan and like to use whatever sim I like at the time, I suppose if I can not unlock the carrier it will go to ebay.
When I power off the phone it gives me the option to shut down, recovery etc however if I choose other than to turn it off it will not reboot.
hmmm rambling now
Ernie

Either flash via KDZ method a 2.1 rom.
Or
Find in development threads thers a recovery zip for 2.1.

Warning
Just a warning, if you get one of these phones network locked, unlock it before upgrading the android.
I have spent a week on this trying to downgrade to 2.1 so I can get to the unlock menu.
I have followed directions from many sites and flashed using kdz, have put recovery on using command prompt, use solution to get the phone to show up menus. Where I fall down is I can not get past the selection where the forums tell me to hold power/camera or other buttons and a menu will come up and give options to select install from sdcard. No matter what I do I can not get to that section??
This is really frustrating me, I have tried so many solution.
However, each time I fail and the phone is black, I just load the recovery with kdz and then click on Android234GT540_06-06-11_eng and this last file auto installs 2.3.4, wonderful, so is there a file like this for 2.1?? if so I pretty sure I can then downgrade then get to the unlock menu.
Or is there another network unlock solution.
Please help
Ernie

Solved
You are the man, thank you sooooooo much, two weeks on getting the downgrade working and this works a treat.
After downgrade I was able to get into the unlock menu and was able to enter the unlock code, I am so happy for your post.

Dr.Alani said:
It does not cause a problem to downgrade to 2.1 without fastboot, I have done that several times. All you have to focus on is the following:
after doing "fastboot -w" turn the phone off. And DO NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN. Remove the battery, sim and SD. Hold the camera + power and then plug the phone to usb it will run into download mode. Run the KDZ updater with CS Emergency mode and flash whatever 20A rom you can have. Before the update ends, it will reboot and ask you to insert the battery. Do not unplug the phone until the KDZ updater gives you the ======= finished ====== message.
I hope this helps.

If your phone has model# 540 then you should dial 2945#*540# not 2945#*520#, i.e. the final three digits should be the model number. Otherwise you will get the error you mentioned.

[Q] Defy plus is dead i think :(

So i've tryed to switch ROM to my Motorola Defy+,in the first stage when you do BOOTLOADER and then choose the version i downloaded, i accidently entered normal motorola defy version (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2) and not the defy+ version (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1). since then my device wont trurn on i cant enter BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY mode, but when i plug it in the computer, the little white light at the top of the phone, turning on. i tryed to do the same without entering the BOOTLOADER (because i cant enter) and i picked the basic version of motorola defy+(DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1) ,it finished succesfuly but still my device wont turn on or respond. What can i do to fix this problem? im without a phone at the moment...

If RSDlite still recognised your phone its not completely bricked. Make sure you flash an android version equal to the last SBF you flashed, IE DO NOT flash 2.1 if you already flashed 2.2. Other than this you may have to wait for the experts to reply as I haven't the experience and I own the original, green lensed defy

[Q] Black screen and bootloop

Hi,
1. I rooted my phone successfully.
2. I installed droid2recovery.apk
3. Restarted. Installed CM10 and Gaaps (wrong version)
4. Reboot. Everything was normal with some annoyances due to the wrong version of Gaaps.
5. Checked and the phone was already rooted in CM10. Installed droid2recovery.apk again. Reboot.
6. Trapped in bootloop.
7. Reboot and enter in system recover.
8. Tried to install CM10 and correct Gaaps. Not possible due to failed to verify whole-file signature.
9. Discover that official recover mode doesn't install unofficial roms.
10. Searched for official roms of Milestone 2 BR. All links are broken.
11. I flashed downgrade_for_bl_3 with RSD Lite. Everything was ok. PASS.
12. Still bootloop. Enter in recover mode. Black screen. Can't see the android icon with exclamation mark.
Is my phone a paper holder now? Please advise.

I'm really without luck today.
I manage to flash a SBF with Android 2.3.6, exactly like the one I had. But then I couldn't root, not with the same method I rooted mine, not with any other method.
Then I downloaded another SBF and used RSD Lite to flash it, and the phone completely died. RSD reported everything OK, PASS, Finished, perfect.
Now nothing happens. The phone is off, black screen. Completely dead. But if I hit Power + Vol - + Camera, the computer recognize. But nothing on the screen. I'm re-flashing the same SBF again.
Why different thing happen when I proceed the same way as I did in the past?
Why can't I just flash a recover boot that accepts direct installation of Cyanogen Mod 10???

You have to flash that same Android 2.3.6 SBF file, you can't use any more that "another sbf". For rooting that 2.3.6 use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277

After you get CM10 back running, do not use droid2recovery.apk anymore!

Thank you. That really helped.

Because you already have recovery and you don't need it... doing this you can destroy something (maybe 2-init or 2-boot), and you will need to recover your phone using RSD Lite.

Hi Douglas, did you get the milestone working again? I'm stucked with the same problem, the rsdlite recognize my cellphone I can flash it but the screen is black. Anything works
How do you fix it?

You can still flash other sbfs, but when do turn on, you need to go in recovery mode, than clear cache and data. It will start normally again.
To go to stock recovery hold when turn on "@" or "x", than when show the "android with ! " you hold volume - and foto or volume + and foto or the volume + and -, than you are in recovery.
Sorry about my English
I am showing all the option because I do not remember perfect what to do... But it works

boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This will solve your problem.
Press Power and x (on your Hardwarekeyboard) for several seconds. Release the buttons and you will see a yellow triangle with an exclamationmark in it. Now press vol up and down key together. voilla you got it

I wish it was that simple. After flashing the phone is completely dead. And now I cant even go to bootloader anymore.... :crying:

could your problem be battery related? do you have a chance to try using another battery?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I was charging the battery
No, the problem is not the battery. Nothing works anymore. The phone doesn't even turn ON. All Black screen, not even boot loop.
So I get into the bootloader and flash new room. I can see the SN Updated text. But that is it. After it doesn't work.
I flashed DOWNGRADE BL =3 and then I flashed MILA2_U6_3.12.0_SIGNED_US1MILESTONE2PERARB125LA016.0R_GSXMILETPERARLA_P022_A013_M006_HWp2a_WIG142538_Service1FF
Nothing. Black Screen.
Then I flash M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBPERARB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETPERLA_P013_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.

[Q] Defy Plus No Recovery

Hi,
I have had my motorola Defy Plus running cyanogen for a year or so. Various versions, 2nd init.
Recently I decided to upgrade to Cyanogen version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
Got it installed and running ok but there were some glitches (maybe) so I started from scratch to be sure.
The method I used to completely re-initialise the phone is as follows.
repartitioned SD, wiped and flashed
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
booted into stock android. installed framaroot - rooted.
installed 2nd init
installed twrp
updated recovery
wipe/reset
install cyanogen
The first time I did this it worked (but with some gapps glitches so to trouble shoot I thought I would start again.
Now this is the problem.
the second time when I tried to flash the stock rom RSD lite hung with "please manually reboot the phone"
After this it is impossible to get into stock recovery from the android triangle screen. When pressing both volume buttons the only thing that happens is the screen brightness toggles between light and dim.
I can get the phone to connect to RSD lite and I can flash ROMS - I have tried a few but I cannot get recovery, Always after flashing RSD says please manually reboot phone. The automatic reboot does nothing but get to the motorola or triangle screen, or a black screen sometimes.
Just to clarify - I have googled and tried many solutions, the main problem is that there is no stock recovery from the triangle screen so no solution that relies on this is working,
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Stock recovery is included in the ... stock ROM (duh) so you need to install completely the stock ROM. But anyway at what serve stock recovery for you?

The one that usually works is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_US AJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Which is the retail UK version for my phone. However when I try to flash it now with RSD it gets to the reboot stage but I am not sure it completes.

I think what would solve my problem would be a way of installing the above rom (which I believe includes the bootloader). I need to solve the problem of the flashing not progressing beyond the reboot stage.
I am using RSD Lite version 6.1.4
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Boot in recovery. Do a total wipe (factory reset). Reboot in bootloader. Flash the .sbf.

There is no functioning recovery, so it is impossible to do a wipe. It is possible to flash a stock ROM (which should restore the recovery) using RSD lite but the process does not get past the reboot stage.

download again the sbf or flash another sbf.
