Can anyone explain to me why everytime I do a factory reset/ wipe of my device (vibrant 3g).. and I reboot, it gets stuck on the Samsung vibrant screen, can't get into cwm with buttons or stock recovery, and have to Odin myself out of brick mode..
Also.. I realized that I don't have the stock navigation on my phone and Google maps takes foreverrrrrrrr to lock on..in fact it hasn't locked on once since I had the phone.
Rooted, and CWM on 2.1 eclair stock.
TIA

I don't know why it would brick. Are you factory resetting from cwm or while the phone is on under settings. Also the vibrant has extremely crappy GPS. The newer ROMs have files that help it lock on better but the vibrant just still has crappy gpd

When I bought the phone (used for 50 buxx) guy I bought it from said he did a fact data wipe while phone was on under settings.. the phone was on the vibrant screen when he handed it to me. After he left, still stuck on vibrant screen. I decided after realizing phone was bricked that I would Odin myself out...which I did, then rooted and flashed cwm. Tried flashing a custom rom so I data wiped and restored from cwm before installing rom. After rom loaded bam stuck on vibrant again.. even after reflashing rom twice. Odin'd out again :/
Now I reluctantly tried again with cm7 but decided I would try just wiping cache/dalvik from cwm and BAM! bootlooped at cyan7 screen, reflashed cm7 and wazambamboozle! Now running cm7 flawlessly.

To tell you the truth I have no idea why its doing that. But if you want a clean flash every time you could just Odin back then wipe dalvik and cache then just flash over it

Yea idk why either all I know is so far so good on cm7.. just gonna leave it alone lol

I have an epic that has the one click root. It has been working great but today i downloaded this new app called SGS battery icon mod2 and after i selected a layout, it restarted and then it just stayed at the startup screen thats black and white letters. says "samsung www .samsungmobile .com" and i cant turn off the phone unless i pull the battery.
Were you running a custom rom?

Time for an odin restore or three finger boot into clockwork recovery and do a few wipes.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Not sure but it seems the the app is not compatible for the epic. Like stated above if your running a custom rom. Reflash it and see if it'll start. If not than you may have to do a complete wipe through clockwork. Or if you made a backup just restore it.

I tried installing a new ROM and kernal on my continuum using the CWM and now when I start up my phone the whole screen is just a bunch of random colors I did a backup and restore and now its starts up in the discolored screen then a voice says restore and the phone restarts PLEASE HELP
which rom and kernel?
rom dl17 clean
kernel pbJ
I think I forgot to reboot and installed them both before rebooting i can still get into cvm and tried my restore but still have same issue except now it just constantly has a womans voice saying restore and the phone restarts
You need to install another kernel.... Install Adryn's kernel through cwm... You can easily find it in development... You flashed a voodoo kernel without knowing what you were getting your self into and how to fix it if it went wrong, *tisk tisk*
If you need more help, just ask

ok i figured out how to get this kernel installed but now it just sits at the SAMSUNG white startup screen what do I do now?
ok now I tried this
If that doesn't work, which is probably won't, then reflash the stock recovery, then try the cwm v4 adryn recovery, then try the stock kernel, and then the system image, all in Odin... In that order
and its starts up like it used to and gets stuck at the Verizon Wireless screen?
You can do your backup now...

Helpful fella, that guy.
Hey guys, so I flashed the novoodoo kernel last night and when I rebooted it put me into a boot loop, I tried to restore my back-up and it said it failed to unmount /system I did a factory reset and it took care of the loop and my phone is fine now with novoodoo installed but I can't find out why I can't restore my back-ups... and I'm using the yellow clockwork for back-up and restore
Honestly i've been doing a crap ton of research on all this since I got my phone back in January and I really feel like I'm missing something small and obvious

Ah, alright... well, yellow isn't that good at restoring... try blue! Lol

xP of course! Shame on me for not doing a backup in both blue and yellow... but after the factory reset my sns feeds on the ticker actually worked for once... for like ten minutes...

I've reverted to stock countless times with Odin but this time I'm having weird issue....
I'm reverting from Trigger rom with Overstock kernel (I think), Odin says its successful but after rebooting I still see the overstock logo and I heard the "voodoo" sound saying "convert system partition" and then shortly "system not available"
Its stuck at overstock screen afterwards, tried to re-flash again with odin and same issue.
Can anyone help??

Odin 1.3
Been using those files for ages w/o problem before
I haven;t been in the scenes for a while and was going to go to stock to try ICS
What I want you to do is take the bat out put it back in power and rocker. Go in CWM.. the red one and wipe data, cache, andvanced and wipe delk and reflash trigger or the kernel.. I would reflash trigger

cant go to recovery, I think my phone is fully bricked now...
I tried odin 1.7 instead of 1.3 and now after odin finished flashing and rebooting phone just goes off and I cant turn it on at all. The only mode that works is download mode
well false alarm. used AIO Vibrant toolbox and was able to revert back to stock, boy I've never been so happy to hear T-mobile's ultra annoying chime

I had encounter ICS, which was great, but isn't ready to be a daily rom, so I use koush's app to reboot into recovery.
then I got stuck at the boot animation, so I decided to open up the stock recovery, and wiped data/factory reset like an idiot. So now all i have is stuck at the M logo, or stock recovery.
Am I going to have to use an official update.zip to flash, then root my phone again?
You are going to have to sbf.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
okay, so I sbf'd back to stock froyo (only GB sbf I can find around the net is a megaupload link, which is obviously not very helpful nowadays) and let it do an OTA update to GB.
I then root, just like i have before, using the motorola one click root program on my computer.
I get root, install koush's bootstrap, and reboot into recovery. I then try to install libertyv3 2.0, which seems to go well...
until i reboot. once i reboot my phone, I'm stuck back at the bootloader, and can't do anything except SBF all over again.
seriously, what's going on? maybe this liberty .zip is broken or something? (i had to find a mirror, because A team gummy's site seems to be down, and B the only other official mirror is megaupload)
I'm going to try another rom, probably encounter ICS because i already have it on my SD card.
this time, I actually read the instructions and tried to install Liberty with clockwork recovery instead of koush.
still. effing. happening.
I reboot after flashing the zip and I can't get past the bootloader screen.
Code:
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,69,35,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I'm seriously at wit's end here. I just got this phone but a couple days ago after I lost my original. it's an insurance replacement. I rooted with the moto one click root, and used koush to install encounter ICS. after not knowing about encounter's wonky way of activation the custom bootloader, I mistakenly wiped the phone with the stock bootloader. I SBf'd back to stock froyo, then OTA updated to gingerbread.
That is my entire history with this phone. what the hell could possibly be wrong with it?
Do you wipe data/cache/dalvic once before you flash and twice after? Liberty is dead use ICS.

I did certainly wipe before flashing, but have never not once heard of wiping twice after flashing. wouldn't that undo the flash? what's the point of that? And like I said, I would use encounter ICS, but it's nowhere near stable enough for daily use.
When you wipe after its just to make sure everything is stock. As long as you don't wipe /system the rom will still be there. Actually if you can live without a camera EncounterICS is an amazing daily driver. Also never use bootstrap unless you're on stock gb.
Sent from my DROID2 ICS using xda premium
I can live without a camera, but google music barely works, which is something I can't live without. I'm thinking about going back to Apex until encounter gets really good (had apex for months up until i lost my original phone)
Google music is working fine for me. Good idea apex is great.

I have a rooted Sprint GS4. It's been running CM 10.1 for last few months and everything was fine. Yesterday I attempted to flash a stock rom back onto the device so I could move it onto one of my other lines, but the phone just turns off after the initial "galaxy" screen.
I've tried 2 different roms now with the same result. I do a wipe, clear the cache, and dalvik...all the standard stuff, before flashing. Been rooting my phones for a few years now, but it's the first time i've seen this and I'm definitely not an expert. Any suggestions would be great!
Odin to a stock Rom
Root
Install recovery (goo manger for twrp is easiest)
Reboot into recovery
Install rom

Thanks everyone. Yeah I had to flash it back to stock using Odin. It's not rooted any more but i'll worry about that when my girlfriend stops using it, stock is fine for her.
