Soo I discovered a weird horizontal line across my screen, today, so back we go to Fido but needed to flash through Odin first. Did that, everything passed... but stuck at Samsung boot logo and it just won't go by it (let it sit for 5 mins and nothing). It plays the sound and does the Samsung animation but then it's stuck at the SAMSUNG in caps with green backlight flashing and the LED light on.
Any suggestions? I can't figure out what could be wrong?

I installed Euro firmware, on the second flash everything just stay'ed black, and I waited awhile till I decided to power off then power back on. First thing I saw was AT&T connect boot screen, then it went black but I can still hear Samsung's power up theme, also device has a Vertical Line running down the right side. I noticed that If I press power button twice Tab comes on, and everything looks great, so I rooted my device and installed Titanium Backup,Everything seems okay. So my question is how do I get rid of the AT&T Boot logo and to be able to see Samsung logo on boot?
\\\\\\\Exactly what happens on fresh boot/////
-fresh boot- AT&T Connected screen comes up, then screen goes black with the line on the right, then Samsung's power up theme song comes on buttons light up screen stays black line goes away, then screen still black, then to initialize the screen I press power button twice. Comes on and works fine.

Install euro firmware with bootloaders. JJ4 is good one since it's bootloader is not signed. Then you can install newer euro firmware over it.
However, so far there is no known way to go back to AT&T bootloaders. So you ca't fully restore to AT&T if needed.

I got a samsung vibrant Tmobile and after flashing a custom Rom
I got AT&T bootup screen! Any answer will be appreciate !
There is a thread for this titled "How to fix at&t black screen with thin white line at boot up". I know you can find it by searching - I wrote it.
Ive got cyanogen 7.1.0 on my emmc. it was getting a little buggy so i decided to format data,cache,system and boot in mounts and storage. i did that then i rebooted it. the cynogen7 logo came up and with the little neon blue writing under it that says "loading...". so then when it came time for the animated cyanogen logo thing to show up, it doesn't. the screen just stays blank but its still on cause the screen back light was on. so i held down the power button till it turned off and turned it on again. the same thing happened only this time i let it stay on. about 10 mins later i go to check it and its powered off. i try turning it on but it doesn't power up. please help me out.
EDIT: Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699 and it fixed my nook.
This is the same thing that is happening for me. I have actually purchased a new Tablet, and want to just put the normal Nook OS back on the device so I can give it to my parents as an eReader for X-Mas.
Please help!!
Bump....Can anyone help me out with this?
Read the 1st post again bud.....he said he fixed his and gave a link.
Hello everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, and I had successfully flashed Onecosmic's ICS_4.0.3.0(RC3.1)_Vibrant_Full.zip.
It worked fine for about a month, sometimes it did just black out and I had to remove battery and reboot it, but nothing serious.
But tonight it just went black and now when I try to power it on this is what happens...
1) "Vibrant" and "SAMSUNG" appear for about 2 seconds
2) Blacks out for about a second
3) "Vibrant" and "SAMSUNG" reappear for about 5 seconds
4) Blacks out. The bottom "buttons" light up if I touch them, and if I keep the power button pressed for 10 seconds it does reboot, but it doesn't boot up Android.
I dont know what I should do, if any of you know a way I could boot it up at least once more to backup some stuff, that would be great.
Any help will be appreciated... Thanks!
Try going to recovery and flash from again.
iPhone killer!!!
Yea, I might do that, I just didn't wanna lose all my data, and some recently-added phone numbers =/
Don't factory reset
iPhone killer!!!

did you make a nandroid? you could just use the advance recovery an put back the system without touching the data
or if you didn't you could make a backup the flash the Tom again then advance recover from cmw and put back the data
hope it helps, good luck
And as far as numbers go, you really should be syncing them with your Google account. Than You will never worry about this again.

You will probably need to Odin it back to stock. Read this thread. And while you are Odin'in check to make sure you are following each stop to the letter. As you probablly flashed a GB bootloader, to get your ViBrick into download you need to: Open Odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. Then it should get into download mode. After that use Odin accordingly to flash back to stock.
Sometimes that just happens. Try letting it sit for a little while(10 minutes should be plenty). This happens to me sometimes and after a while it will randomly boot. It's very strange.

I've used the lg flash tool to go back to stock several times in the past never really had any major issues. Today something went very wrong.
After the flash the phone boots on its own. I saw the lg logo, and then android with the blue bar under him. Then instead of seeing the verizon logo come up i get all black screen and it says:
Insecure boot.ing
cause=
This is up in the left hand top corner of the screen. There is no cause its just blank.
At this point the phone justs repeats those same 3 steps above over and over until i hold the power button to turn it off.
Next problem is i can't get it to stay in download mode again to repeat the process. The phone enters download mode for a slit second and flashes a bunch of white writing up in the top left hand corner of the phone so fast i cant read it and then the screen goes black.
Anyone seen any of this before?
I'm lost at this point...
I'm fairly new to this, bear with me. I'll try to include lots of detail. If I'm asking or posting in the wrong area, just let me know. I've been trying to do this without any hand-holding, but it's been pretty frustrating and it's a lot to soak in and I think I probably got something wrong.
My S4 seems to be partially bricked.
I was given a retired S4. The phone is locked to Bell in Canada (It's an SGH-I337M, not a 9500 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Model_variants ). When it was given to me, it had Cyanogenmod 11 on it. The previous owner is techsavy and tried to unlock it, paid for several websites to give him codes, none worked and they refunded. This was when the S4 was new, he hadn't tried since.
I wanted to use it with Rogers. I was happy to just pay for an unlock code, but, it seemed I needed to be on the original firmware. So I learned how to use ODIN and downloaded Bell's original firmware. As suggested here: ( galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ ) and I picked the Bell one ( stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS4/SGH-I337M/I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_BMC.zip ). It seemed that I needed to downgrade anyway to get most of the carrier unlocks to work. (In Canada, IIRC, there was no region lock, just carrier, but regardless it spent two years on a Bell plan).
When I finished using ODIN, successfully, the phone restarted but now appears to not complete booting or be able to flash a new ROM of any kind, at least by methods I've tried.
On powering up:
1 - "Samsung GALAXY S4" in curvy font.
2 - Blue swirly animation of Samsung.
3 - Do do do do doo dooooooooo, audio.
4 - Blue LED in top left stays lit.
5 - SAMSUNG in white on black screen stays there, pulsing with blue light occasionally.
6 - It stays here forever.
It never finishes booting, and it's a hell of a power draw the phone got hot after an hour.
When I try to boot into recovery, I get the blue text in the upper left, but it just reboots.
When I try to put it into download mode, I get a green warning about custom OS's, I can use volume up to agree or volume down to cancel. Either way, it just reboots.
If I try to power it down without pulling the battery, it just boots up, same loop as above, and stays there, pulsing the logo forever.
I can't get to any diagnostic screen, but maybe I'm trying the wrong ones or the wrong ways.
How badly did I mess up my phone?
I'd like to just use it as a camera even, if I can't get it to unlock so I can use Rogers, but it seems I've messed that up now too.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you need more detail, I'm happy to give it. (Sorry for bad links, new user, can't post links).
Download from Sammobile the stock rom for your model and flash it in download mode wit Odin
