Hi all,
Sot of new to modding, think I screwed up and could use some help. Was doing this one click speed fix: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417
It didn't appear to work the first time, as I received a message and exited the application, however the symbol was still in the notification bar. Re-ran it, and it seemed to have worked, mostly, as the phone was blazing fast. Went immediately to run quadrant and check the benchmark, but it force closed every time it hit the i/o section. tried to go to market, foreclose every time. Figured it may need a reboot, powered off, and that's was all she wrote.
I can get into the battery charging screen and have been able to get to recovery, but nothing else. I haven't used adb or ODIN at all yet, but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
The phone was already rooted, and i have titanium back up and nandroid backups, but don't really know how to get to them.
If you did a nandroid backup, just go in recovery screen and restore backup. If not, flash back to stock rom.
well maybe i dont know what im talking about then. I guess I thought i did a nandroid.
When i go into recovery i get four options: reboot system now, reinstall packages, clear all user data, clear cache data.
none of them work
Did you install clock work recovery via Rom manager?
well it has turned on now. removed sim and memory card and hit reinstall packages. ive got the standard twlauncher running but, it repeatedly gives me force close notifications that android.process.media has stopped and i cannot access the menu

yes, i did. i remember doing that precisely as shown in your tips and tricks thread
alright, so i got it into download mode, gonna reflash everything to stock and see where i went wrong as outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Will update with results, but would be nice to figure out where i went wrong so as not to repeat the error.
If you can get into recovery just wipe and reflash eugenes vibrant4.zip.
Alright, back to stock. unrooted also? gonna mess some more and see if i can get my clockword recovery to restore everything.
okay, so my theory is that the lag fix i used installed an update.zip that overwrote the clockword mod one. Now im just trying to restore using titanium backup, but it is telling me that it doesnt have root access. i know im rooted, as i just did it and reinstalled rom manager and drocap. hmmmmm.....
Thats not all thats funny. i cant find the superuser app anywhere on here. also, i cannot install one from the market.
and im having issues with root explorer.

I would re-root and then follow the flash the ROM mentioned above. There is a thread in the DEV forum.

You need to root again to get the superuser on your phone. As for the one click lag fix, I used to original method and it went pretty well. No problems so far. I also flashed Vibrant4 by Eugene before doing the lag fix. Hope it helps
same thing happened to me. I'm stuck on the galaxy S boot screen. i can get into the samsung recovery screen but not the clockwork recovery. I backed up my nandroid and Rom but don't know how to get into the menu to restore. I only have the update.zip for the lag fix on the internal sd so can't restore that way. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

There may be other ways around it, but I restored fully to stock, then re-rooted. I'm back up and running no problem now. Had some issues with titanium backup but got around that and its batch restoring as i type.

Would you mind saying how you did that?
I tried wiping and flashing the stock via renaming it update.zip, and I'm still getting FC city. Mostly media, but, calendar, everything. I'm going to post a link to this in that thread, since many, it seems, were left hanging in a boot loop.

Just follow what I did through the thread.
I did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 to get back to complete stock, then i had to root it twice. Once did the one click, then the good root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
back up and running. had to research about titanium backup to get it up and running. I want to do the lag fix still, but im nervous from before.
Your nervous? I really would like to do this but i'm scared (cuss)less.
I've read what needs to be done and think that I've figured it out.
(pretty new to droid)... but, have also read the horror stories here
about bricking your phone...which nowadays can happen to any
phone you have....don't get me started on the apple pie!
But, really when it gets a simple as installing an .APK I'll be happy.

The galaxy s seems pretty hard to brick. I'd say just go for the lag fix. Worse thing that happens is you have to take like 15min to download and use odin to reflash to stock. The lag fix seems pretty safe as long as you stay rooted

Vibrant Recovery Mode HowTo
THIS GUIDE WORKED ON USA T-MOBILE SAMSUNG VIBRANT BUT MAY VERY WELL WORK ON ALL SAMSUNG GALAXYS PHONES
After reading many XDA-Developers Forum Posts to try and figure out how to get into the Recovery Mode / Download Mode without any success, I gave T-Mobile Support a call.
After the usual noop run-down, "did you take the battery out" questions, I simply asked them how to get the Samsung Vibrant into recovery mode.
Unline the many tutorials that claim to require the Up or Down button pressed, along with the Home button then the Power, the true process is as follows:
1. Press the Up and the Down button at the same time (yes both). I too thought that button was a Toggle which only did either Up or Down, but found that in fact it does do both.
2. At the same time, press the power button.
3. As soon as the Samsung / Vibrant logo comes up on the screen, release the power button.
4. Release the Up and Down buttons.
5. PRESTO
I wanted to root my phone and my wife's so that we could use the wifi tether built into the phone. I followed the directions for the OneClick Root and Recovery (worked fantastically, thanks guys!!) And then installed the wifi tether. v3.1beta6 also works great by the way!!
Of course then I did something stupid. When I found that the market didn't work I ran an app called Eris Market Fix that another android site said worked for GalaxyS phones. Now my phone (not dumb enough to test it on the wife's first) will not turn un or boot fully. I get the Samsung Mobile screen and then it goes dark and gives the Force Close single--double vibration and repeats.
Can I fix this or is my phone finished? Once I do, how do I get the market to work on both?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in clockwork?
Sent from my SPH-D700
also, it's impossible to say for sure at this point, but i highly doubt u did anything permanent to your phone. worst case scenario, u may just end up starting over from scratch...
and maybe try what ^ac suggested before restoring your nandroid backup, sometimes clearing cache and dalvik can help a LOT!!! but it also has to be done from inside clockwork mod recovery.
Bricking is when the phone is literally a brick, no power, no lights, no nothing. I prefer Sponged for this condition. As a last resort if you have no backup (shame) and clearing dalvik and cache don't work, do a Factory Data reset and it will delete any third party apps and data. You will need to set your phone back up but if you have been saving your contacts on Google and not your phone you will get them back when you sign in to gmail.
Right. I have no backup that I'm aware of since I only did the three things listed above. I've seen where it says to use adb for stuff like this, but I do not know where or how to access that. When I plug my phone in to the computer via usb though it says adb found.
I know that clockwork and other were installed but where do I find them?
Edit: So clockwork was found through the vol down, power, camera reboot attempt, so now I know where to make a backup from next time. *embarrassed* Haven't messed with computers like this for years.
dalvik and cache wiped. no change.
Wipe and factory reset (with sd card removed) no change.
Samsung Mobile.com
then black screen and single vibrate
pause and (sorry) triple vibrate
repeat ad nauseum.

Clockwork is your recovery, you access this by 3-finger booting into recovery.
You first turn your phone off wait till its off for sure then you power the phone on by holding the volume down button the camera button, and the power button until the menu shows up.

At this point you will need to Odin your phone back to its original condition. Go into Development sub-forum and at the top in the stickies is a thread called how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. The file links and instructions are in the 1st post. This will wipe everything from your phone and put Android 2.2 back on.

Next time you want to do anything to your phone, follow qbking77's yout tube videos. They are step by step idiot proof vids to help you out. There is even one called "how to return to stock" that will help with odin.

I have been here before as well. I have tried just about all the roms that are out there. If you want great performance and great battery life this rom is the best I have used yet. This is based off of 2.2 android. Everything works minus the sprint bloatware. Here is a link http://randomking.romgeeks.com/development/randomrom-2-2/

Follow his instructions. If you have a problem let me know. Good luck
Thanks again! I'm back up and running. Still need to figure out how to make the market work for paid apps after I root again, but I do intend to remove the bloat ware and speed things up.
Happy I still have my phone though
Many, many thanks everyone!

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!
Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?

Hold home button while booting and you should

Go to wipe cache and click yes.
then go to wipe data and click yes.
then go to advance and wipe dalvik cache and click yes.
go back using power button and reboot!!!
That shuld solve the problem!!!

Coming from a galaxy s4, i did alot of tweaking around, sometimes screwing up systemui and other things that would cause my phone to bootloop and get stuck... There was always an easy solution... Reboot the phone into recovery, wipe data, and flash the rom again, then everything would be ok.. ive never truely had my phone brick to a point where it was a nightmare to fix. Everything was easily accessible through TWRP
does that work the same on the g2??? If i flash a kernel that doesnt work, or do something that causes my rom (clean rom) not to boot up, is it as simple as booting the phone into recovery and flashing my rom again to start from scratch???
Just wanna know what im getting into before i risk screwing anything up.. thanks
looking around i see posts of people having nightmares to fix their phones... i dont know what fastboot is either.. cant you just boot the phone into twrp and reflash your rom???

thats exactly what i was wondering earlier... you would pull the battery when it bootloops... but.. we cant pull the battery, so what do we do??? And what is the purpose of fastboot, if we have TWRP??? i would assume you would easily just boot the phone into recovery and just flash the rom again to fix it, but why does it seem like people are having other issues??
Worrying gives grey hairs...what if we all die tomorrow? TRWP is God for the G2 stop worrying ?

Have the latest recovery (2.6.3.2) installed!!! Turn off phone and then hold Vol- and power simultaneously till you see the LG logo then release the buttons for 1 second then press and hold Vol- and power again till you see the factory reset screen. Just select "Yes" twice and you will boot into recovery (don't worry about seeing this screen you won't lose any data unless you actually wipe from recovery)
If you don't have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed then you can break your device attempting to do button combos so make sure you have this version!

if I remember correctly you should be able to hold the power button down for a few seconds then as soon as the LG screen comes up it should power off.
if you can't get it to power off, just try the button combination from where you are and follow through with instructions.
ok because as soon as we get a system dump of sprints g2, i will be making a fix to make google wallet work on all other devices, but i expect several bootloops till i get it right lol

I have brought up this issue before about booting into recovery via key combo till I finally was told how to do it. The Devs who got us TWRP still haven't updated it in the thread because it can still possibly cause issues but I haven't seen any yet as I've tested it several times too, so be careful guys.

Again, you want to hit "Yes" twice. Don't worry you won't lose any data unless you erase it inadvertently from TWRP. just go on in click "Yes" twice to the factory reset you will be fine. It will boot you into recovery from there and it WILL NOT wipe your phone.
Hi all.
I'm in desperate need of some help here.
I was tinkering with my D802 last night and got it rooted, yay, had a play with a sixaxis pad and some games etc all good fun. Then went to go to my barclays app and suddenly realised that it wouldn't work because it was now rooted. Started to follow this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360142
Got as far as installing SudoSU and 'full unroot' and then installed CWM from the play store which then flashed the recovery.
I go to reboot into CWM but forget the path for the file downloaded so I reboot the phone to find it and suddenly when the phone starts all I get is
com.android.systemui has stopped in a constant loop so the rest of the phone doesn't start.
I don't know what the hell to do!
I've just managed to get into the hard reset mode with the vol down + power, release at LG logo, vol down + power option but I really don't want to have to do that just yet.

If I'm reading your post correctly, I think the reason your device is acting this way, is because you unrooted your device first and then you installed CWM(an application that requires root), this process confused your device and made it malfunction.

I know you may not want to do this, but if you want your device to be functional again, I suggest doing this method, Here's a link, Good Luck[emoji106]

Yeah, I think your right.
Is there anyway that I can recover my contacts and other bits of data before loosing anything? I've got ADB working if that's of any use.

If you sycned you contacts and app data with Google, then yes, if you didn't do that, no, and I'm afraid that seeing that you can't boot into your device, you cannot backup your personal files to the computer.[emoji20] does your computer recognize your device?

Ok, the main issue at the minute is this com.android.systemui process.
As soon as it comes up saying that it has stopped and I hit OK to clear, another pops up. Because of this I can't control or access anything.
Is there a way to fix this process to allow myself some control back over the phone?
The computer recognizes the device for file transfer so I've been able to recover things like pictures etc. I've also managed to get adb working to a certain extent and it's recognizing it under devices.
I mean, the device boots, but the trouble is this damn com.android.systemui process has stopped constantly popping up stopping me from doing anything.
I think the lock screen has gone whacko. I use the facelock which if it fails uses the pattern unlock. It's possibly why after pressing ok after the systemui process fails, I can't touch anything because the screen is technically locked.
Well, I did a factory reset which didn't do anything as the systemui kept falling over. Luckily enough the LG software recognised the phone now so was able to do a full restore from that and I'm now back in the game so thanks very much for your help
