black screen after kies flash

i've just tried upgrading to the new froyo build through kies, but on completion my phone will not turn back on. All i am getting is black screen with random vibrations. I can get into download mode though. Anyone have a link to jf3 or jm1 original firmwares so i can flash back via odin then try kies again?

Go to recovery (volup+home+power) wipe data/factory reset and it will work, happened to me also.

man I cant stress this enough.. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! After this happened to me I was ready to 1) give up, 2) try to reflash with odin 3) try something even more crazy..
and you saved my but ! I did as you said and it just started up perfectly ! Now I have froyo, all my data, and dont have to reflash or anything !
I just have one question if I may please !
I had a lagfix installed and I didnt disable it before I did the flashing, so do I still have it or what ? Because I didnt loose any data but the applications that I had instaled are not showed anymore.. which bugs me because Ill have to clean up and redo everything.. but at least Ill have a clean phone )
thanks again man !

of course I know that now , the issue with my situation would be that after I got it working (did what BaalBehrit said) the phone would boot up normaly, but all apps including of course One-click Lag fix were still there but didn't show as installed apps, nor had they any icons for that matter. Therefore disabling it before second flash was virtualy imposible.
What I did was simple. I backed all my data to my computer and then just formated both SD cards - that probably took care of the lagfix, after that, I did the flash again and everything run smoothly.
but you're right I have to remember for next time

[Q] market is unfortunately stopped on 2.2.1

Hello everyone
I've got a strange problem with the latest 2.2.1. The market is unfortunately stopped if i open him. I've got a replacement but i really want the normal app working. Why happens this and what should i do? Flash it again? Cause things like the clear cache and updates doesn't work.
thanks in advance

Maybe a hard reset, will work?
Joost

1) don't know how to do on 2.2.1
2) i don't think it should work, because it was after the last update and my friend has the same problem

Go in recovery. Wipe user data.

Ehm, maybe this sounds strange but i'm bricking my phone over now.
1) All the apps i instal (not with the market :S), are installing for a long, long time. After a few minutes if i start my phone and look in my launcher, there isn't a sing that the app is installed. And if i look in the settings, i see nothing.
2) The market doesn't work.
3) After i update my phone, my whole recovery was gone. So if i open fastboot or something i see a black screen.
So is there a way to get it reset? HELP ME!!

I think this needs a reflash.

Dialer and call log chrashes

Hi guys!
I´m having this very annoying issue with my galaxy...
As soon as i open the dialer and try to punch in some numbers, the application just ends! Same thing goes if i try to access the call logs directly, just chrashes (not FC´s) right back to the homescreen!!
I have to open the dialer like 4-5 times before eventually being able to do anything at all with it.
Tried factory reset, didn´t work
Phone is a galaxy with 2.3.3 with JVH and 2.6.35.7 kernel, rooted
Please help!

Try cleaning cache of the app

Already did that, and dalvik and also fixed permissions in the recovery menu, still no effect

I also have this problem, including with stock JVH.
I have tried a lot, including:
Flashing a different lower firmware and upgrading through Kies.
Doing full reflashes though Odin.
Uninstalling all apps and reinstalling one by one (but the problem has been impossible to pinpoint
Taking all contacts of my Exchange account, going through them one by one, exporting them and reimporting them to fix any issue with those.
Clearing all caches, etc
Nothing has helped so I finally just installed another dialer from the market and with this there have been no problems. It's very annoying though because I like the stock apps.

Try searching for phone.apk for jvh an then replace it on system/app by using root explorer or other file manager
U could also download another dialer like (Go Dialer) but when u search at the market search Go Contacts it will install dialer with contacts list.. after that-(optional) go to system/app change phone.apk for phone.apk.bak.. this will delete the phone but u will keep it saved on system/app when u want it back just rename it phone.apk

I´m not following? are you suggesting that i reflash the phone with a new rom? i like the stock one so that doesn´t do it for me..

youve got some mess on system partition that is resulting in phone aplication fatal errors that closes it (btw can you copypaste logcat part when this app fails)
aside there might be other modules not working as suposed that you are not noticing because they do not force close but they can for example make some proceses not go into idle = more battery consumed idk there might be a milion things that are going wrong due this incompatybility
by this flash order i suggest you to revert to froyo and do a factory reset there (because ive noticed myself tons of times factory reset failing on all gb releases and never on froyo - must be some gb/ or maybe rooting issue) and ive noticed new files not beeing copied on fresh fw instalation because of that all that on gb and never while upgrading from froyo
what i am proposing here is flash order that is always working for me and ive developed it after countles hours of reflashes - and hey i never had any drain any force close problems =)
thats just friendly xda advice - make it or not i do not care but i would be happy if that would help you
common issue also is reverting backup files from previous system version to current one (people restore system files from eg jve to jvq and are amazed that their phone forcloses on most apps or somrthing) you can not use some system files backup from previous on current firmware

So how do i do this then? bare in mind that i´ve never flashed a phone...ever

just a second, i will find youa nice tutorial =) refresh after like 10 minutes ;]]]

Thanks a billion!!

My advise,
Flash the original stock rom you want, (not any deodexed rom!)
Flash the kernel you want via odin
Reboot into recovery mode
Do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"
Don't restore any backup

Funny thing, i actually downloaded Go Contacts in order to do a contact backup, but that´s actually a better dialer and call log app than the stock one
I´m thinking of maybe keeping this one instead of the stock one for now?

feel free to do that =)

Did you solve this crashing problem?

The person requested a help is not me

I cant wipe, I cant re ROM, What to do?

So, I have a backup of my rom from another device that I installed. What I need to do is change the sync account, but it says I can not remove it. Fine, so I try to add another and it says google can not establish a reliable connection.
If I factory reset the device, it will sit at the boot logo and keep crashing until I restore from backup.
If i install a new rom, only one actually worked but it seemed to be an older one (Different icons, missing the Hubs)
What can I do? I already completely bricked one device trying to get this fixed. I really gotta get this going, how can I either wipe it all out completely so I can set it up new again, or find the stock USA/Canada Rom?
Thanks!!
Ps, here is the thread I already have where i speak about bricking my other phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175098

Dude please stop whatever you're doing. You seems to be getting yourself in a mess.
First do some reading on how to flash with Odin and then flash a stock firmware to the device and do a cache wipe and factory reset in the recovery menu. When you boot into the device do a hard reset and then stop messing with the device.

The thing is, if i do a factory reset, it will not boot for some weird reason :/
Thats all I am trying to do, I just need to get back to stock then i'm sitting there. The only thing that actually seems to work is the backup I have on it right now, but I can not reset any of the settings to actually be able to start using the thing

this is the second one you've messed up? use one of the other 2 but don't try to do a restore just download all your apps manually. and send me one of the messed up ones.

Yup, haha
I have a Jig on the way, ill see how that goes
Well I would also like to change the sync account, which it will not let me ://
I just reflashed like 8 times in the last hour trying different roms, none are working

Stop.
There is a bug when you wipe, which stops boot...
Affects older stock roms.
Newer ones should be OK, as should custom ROMs

So what can I do?
I also cant even find any Stock USA roms, which is weird

I just got it to finally boot with another rom
The only thing different is it by default has some widgets added, and the Messaging app has a different icon. All the hubs are also intact
*Roots, makes a backup*

All seems to be working now. Woo whoo!
I have 4 And 2 of the 10.1 tabs
I am working closely with Samsung on one of their new marketing projects, which is why I get all of these

So, factory resetting this image screws up too.
But its okay, as I got a blank backup now with no accounts. So I'm all set
Also, just got the email confirmation that my jig shipped out.

You should probably donate one of the "b0rk3n" device to a dev.

[Q] Trying to factory restore the phone and nothing seems to work

So last night I tried installing a custom boot animation for my Samsung Galaxy S4, but I somehow misread the instructions and deleted some files in the /system/media directory. After a restart I noticed that I was led to a boot screen that has the Samsung logo and a padlock with custom written on the screen, after this screen passes there is darkness for a minute or so then the phone is booted into, yeah sounds okay, right? Well, after that happened I realized that my lock button won't actually lock the phone, the phone will actually continuously stay on, no matter what settings I tell the phone to lock, it's as if locking the screen now is not an option, but the lock button works if I hold it down which will give me the option to shutdown go into airplane mode and restart. I then proceeded to see if I could restore the phone to factory settings by going into the settings to factory restore but that doesn't do anything, just restarts the phone. After that I tried hard resetting which didn't work either, I wasn't even led to the GUI for hard resetting. I'm running a stock ROM on 4.4.2 Kit Kat that's rooted, an At&t I337 model. I'd just really like to factory reset the phone and I'm not sure what to do? Thanks.

If factory reset doesn't work all you need to do it is flash the stock firmware again.. So that would restore all the system files again, if u flash the official one you would have to root the phone again, or u can just install a custom ROM.
Hit thanks if I helped!

You would need Odin to flash the ROM, and a stock firmware for ur particular phone and region available at sammobile.com or you would just find one in the android development thread of this forum and the Odin just google it..
