Ok, so I updated from stock, using official update phone rebooted and stayed at samsung screen forever it kept blinking and vibrating. Pulled battery, tried restarting it goes samsung loading bar -> VM welcome -> flashing/vibrating samsung screen.....I can get into recovery AND download mode. Tried clearing cache, factory reset, and updating again, but still gets stuck at samsung screen. I am desperate guys I really need help, I am going on a LONG road trip this weekend and need my phone so ANY help would really be appreciated. THANKS!
When u say update do u mean u went from ex. 2.1 to 2.2.... android that is? U should elaborate a hit more, if what I mentioned is the case then revert back to the ROM prior to the update. If u give more info I may be able to help from my personal experiences

Yes used official update went from 2.1 (stock) to 2.2 as the update finished, it got stuck in a sort of boot cycle, stuck at a samsung screen keeps flashing samsung logo, and vibrating. wont fully boot
OK, I saw on my facebook page samsung intercept page. Mediafire link to download update.zip file,has anyone tried this. Will this work,if it bricks my phone i will be pissed...
There's always the chance that a phone can get bricked, no mater what ...even from an 'official' update from your service provider. With that said, however, I've downloaded the Virgin Mobile 2.2 Froyo update file that's floating around and it installed no problem on my phone.
For the first poster ....I believe that the stock recovery is necessary for the VM 2.2 update to work. I won't swear on that though.
Here's what I did. Downloaded the 2.2 VM Froyo update to my laptop. Renamed it 'update.zip'. Copied it to the root of my sdcard on my Intercept via bluetooth. Booted into recovery mode and applied the update. Twiddled my thumbs while it updated itself from recovery and then rebooted....and the reboot takes a while, maybe 5 minutes. Presto ...2.2 Froyo.

I think that you didn't wait long enough...as the reboot takes a looooong time, maybe 5 minutes or more at least. Patience is a virtue.
Okay guys,im new here. I installed VM Froyo 2.2 update.zip,it seems to work fine. A bit slow but its still booting up. I installed stock rom,stock kernal, and update.zip,in that order. And backup works too,wiped dalvik cashe to. I like this forum its more informative,will let yall know more later. Thanks.

You're making this way to convoluted. All that one needs to do when updating from stock 2.1 on the VM Intercept is to download the (official unofficial) update file, rename it to 'update.zip' on the root of the sdcard, boot into recovery, and apply the update. That's it. It installs Froyo and the new radio, etc, itself...all from the update.zip. No need to mess with kernels and recovery or wipe anything ....except one's own azz if they go take a chit while waiting for it to reboot. In fact, when I updated it even kept all of my 2.1 widgets and icons and imported them into Froyo ...I didn't need to do a thing.
Oh, I see ....you had to convert your Intercept back to 'stock' first. Nevermind...
Yes, i did i downloaded stock rom,stock kernal and stock recovery all .zip. Put stock.zips in sdx/zip folder and update.zip 2.2 in root on sdcard. Installed all three wiped dalvik cashe rebooted each time in custom recvery. When i got to stk rec. rebooted to stock rec. Ran update.zip 2.2 may take a while but it booted no problems.
Can u get the phone into download more with any button sequences, YouTube it if u don't know what i mean(mobiletechvideos) then y will need to use odin to use tp download an official Samsung Rom.... PM if u need help

Hey,
I was trying to load some gapps on my sprint htc hero (running AOSP rom) and It wouldn't work so i followed some instructions online and somehow my phone is bricked... I can go to clockwork but when i try to install a zip it goes all the way to installing package then it just goes back to the home screen of the recovery. There's no ROM running at all anymore because i tried formatting everything to start over but the same thing happened. Could someone plz help!!!
Thanks!

Ok...Your phone is not bricked because it is turning on. There are very few things that you can do to actually brick this phone. However before anyone can be of much assistance you are going to have to provide some more detailed information about your problem. I would also suggest that you check this thread that Il Duce posted in the Q&A section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
Lastly I'll assume that your bootloader is S-On which means if you do not have adb set up on your computer yet you should do so, because it sounds as if you MAY need it at some point.
have you tried flashing a rom? Iv had the same problem and figured that wiping everything, then flashing a new rom fixed it
Boom... Headshot! from my L96A1
Try reflashing your current recovery threw adb. Might help.

i agree with laie1472. reflash your recovery. it will give you a clean start. let us know how it goes.
ok so in more detail.... I turn on my phone and it just loads the HTC screen and goes on forever because there's no rom to load. So i can boot it into clockwork recovery, and when i get there i wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition, then i try to install zip from sdcard. I go to choose my zip and click yes and as the script is running across the screen it goes like this: Finding update package.... Opening update package... Installing update package... then it just goes back to the clockwork recovery screen (with the options like reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, etc.) sorry i don't know that much about this but i can learn fast.
Thanks!
Ok. So have you tried to reflash your recovery??? Try it threw adb. If you don't have adb setup check out the link hockeyfamily posted for duces thread. Once there look for my thread on how to install adb. It takes like 15 to 20 min tops. If you need help with the guide just post here or send me a pm. Hopefully this helps

Kind of where I was headed with the "setting up adb" part of my first answer.....but the op never stated how many different roms he tried or if he tried to restore a nand.
Sent from my.....click, click, boom
I tried using aosp rom and CM7. I can't load the other recovery because in your instructions it says I need easytether. I can't load a rom so i can't download that from the market.
You need "adb" which is installed on your pc, not on your phone.

I have tried to install, following instruction on this site to install ROM's. I have tried Starburst and Task650. I currently have the OTA Touchwiz installed from Samsung, and Pershoot kernel 2.6.34-4-cyanogenmod installed. Every time I try it goes through the process and successfully I reboot, it boots to the Samsung Logo (Start) and I wait like 20 minutes and it does nothing, just stay at the start Samsung logo. I have done this several times on each ROM, always having to go back to a backup I did. What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I install any ROMs? I would greatly appreciate some expert advice, because I hear so many great things about Task650 I really want to give it a shot. I am an ex-iPad owner, gave to daughter as a friend had one and let me use it; feel in love with it the moment I picked it up. I have also searched the forums, but I am doing everything to the T as outlined in instructions. Had my tab for a week, it isn’t a 10.1v or I/O series. Thanks everyone in advance for helping a complete noob when it comes to android.
Sounds like a case of missing to clear the cache.
Did you wipe the cache partition and dalvic cache in the recovery menu?
After making major changes like switching between roms or kernels thats recommended and if not done might cause such an issue.
I did
I did do those steps, did the factory wipe/reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvic. Once I did those 3 steps, installed from zip, goes through the steps successfully, but when I reboot it just stay on logo. I read, it could take 5-10 min, but I have waited up to 20 and it doesn't move past that. Just see what I am doing wrong, as the 2 roms have both done that, and I have tried several times with both. Just have the stock rom with Touchwiz OTA upgrade from Samsung, and pershoots latest kernel. Thanks in advance.
bad zip file?
Is it possible the zip files are getting corrupt? Are you downloading them on your tab or on computer and transferring them over? I would also check to see if there are any errors when you flash.
Download from computer and transfer over. How can I if there are errors as once I install a ROM it just stays at the logo. After it starts to install it end with, i cant recall exactly, but it says success. Thanks in advance
In cwm when you flash there is some text readout. That is where some error messages could be seen. That text will be there before you choose reboot on the menu.
sounds like you've had some issues bro. if you do get fed up and need some help, just let me know and we can video chat through gmail or skype to get you through it and get you a custom rom.

Maybe try in "reverse" order
Flash kernel back to stock - flash the rom you want - if that works then flash pershoots kernel
Just a thought
hy
i installed the overcome rom on my 7500, and i'm so entusiast!
Try it it's very easy!
---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------
i did it in recovery, do wipe data
Yes its is rooted, cmw, superuser, and busybox all installed. Installed both roms in recovery, hold volume down and power method. Just can't figure it out, I will do the reverse suggestion and report back later tonight or tomorrow.thanks everyone for the advice/help.
no erreor s after install, think task's says success or something to that effect.
Well it finally stuck, I knew it was going right as when it was installing system files, it took like 5 minutes, the other time I did it took like 30 seconds. As per Stinky73 went back to stock Kernel, and wipe data, clear cache partition, and wipe Dalvik Cache, Thanks a million Stinky73 u da man! HELL YEAH this Rock, it is so responsive, seems a hell of a lot smoother, and apps just snap open. Task you did one outstanding job. This is coming from a noob who has no idea how much work goes into these, I am sure a lot. So from a noob to an expert EXCELLENT JOB, love my Tab that much more!!!!! Thanks everyone for the help, I am one happy camper! Now another dilemma, I saw new versions: How do I install these now that I have Tasks650 installed and working? Do I have to do the same steps above, wipe data, cache, and Dalvik? And if so what do I do next, do I do the same: Also is the BOB_WOW_Fix installed using the same method as i read flashable, sorry for the noob question, just want to get it right.
1. install zip from sdcard.
2. choose zip from sdcard.
NEW!!!- Task650's V7.1
Once again... I forgot to add "Desktop UAstring to V7.1 so flash this update after you boot up V7.1 if you want it.
Can someone please give me the proper ateps on installing the bob_wow_fix, and the 2 7.1 updates? Thanks

There's no complete fix for BoB and WoW, its a continuous work in progress.
bob wow fix
Are you taking about the fix task posted?
What I had to do was wipe cache first then flash the zip just like you did on the rom. And bobs your uncle.
Edit:
Oh ya I would reboot after each flash just to be sure.
So as you probably read had a hell of a time getting a rom installed, followed stink'ys advice and it worked. Installed 6.0, finally, than installed the 6.1 theme update, no issues. Than downloaded the 7.1, followed op. wiped dalvik, wiped cache, and wipe data/factory restore. No errors, but when I rebooted it got stuck once again on the Samsung logo with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 print. So i do not know what the heck I am doing wrong. I got 6.0 than 6.1 updated and now I am back to my initial problem with 7.1, no I didn't use the 7.1 update one. tried 3 times, and even downloaded the fiel again, and followed the same steps task outlined, and no go. Had to restore the 6.1 from back up.

All sounds very strange...is it definitely stuck on the boot screen? These things can take anything from 5-20 minutes on initial boot, there is no definite rule for that, seems to be device related in some strange way...how long have you left it?
I am really an OCD when it comes to upgrading and always backup (nandroid or whatever) then go back to the very start before trying something new...years of PC and Mac have taught me that even tho the manufacturers say you just apply upgrades on top of previous upgrades, sooner or later they will f**k up....
I wonder why you are passing thro all the steps you are...(going thro 6.0, 6.1 etc)
I would be inclined to try going back to stock....stock whatever it was rom when you got the tab (notice you've never stated what model you have), stock kernel, nothing installed....then go direct to Tasks 7.1 (everything needed in 6.x is incorporated in 7.1) .... then, if it boots and runs, add pershoots kernel...
What do you reckon Task?? Can you chip in on this one?
Cheers, Stinky

Hey guys. I'm trying to fix my friends Defy for him. I've rooted my old Evo 4g, my wifes samsung transform, and her motorola Photon Q so I'm pretty familiar with rooting. But I'm having a problem with his Defy. Here's the skinny:
So his phone froze up on him. And after pulling the battery, it now won't boot. So I booted into recovery, and tried a factory reset. The factory reset won't complete. The little loading bars that go across the screen just keep going forever (I let them go for 3 hours straight one day). And I still can't get the phone to boot. So I figure, no big deal, i'll just root and install custom recovery. So I looked into rooting methods for the Defy, and they all seem to involve booting the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Or know of a way to reflash the original recovery? I'm assuming the problem is the recovery. Thanks in advance for any help. And my buddy thanks you too.
You can use RSD to flash it with stock rom of your region. Do not flash any gingerbread rom if the phone never had gingerbread(you will have downgrade issues).
I don't want a Tapatalk sig!
never heard of rsd. Just looking into it. It seems people are saying I would need to wipe cash and data first? Problem is when I attempt to wipe cache it just goes on forever never finishes.
Any Luck M8

was just reading your post and was wondering if you have had any luck with your buddy's Defy ???
Flashing a fresh .sbf using RSDlite should fix the recovery problems, as it will overwrite it with a fresh one. The /system partition will be rewritten, also. After flashing, the phone might boot to the system already, but if not, just enter recovery and do a factory reset, now it should finish fine and boot fine, as well. (it doesn't matter if you do a factory reset before or after the flash)
Latest RSD Lite I've found is v6.1.4. You will also possibly need drivers, google for - "Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0"
Keep us posted! Good luck
I recently purchased a lg g2, the korean variant f320s, it was running kitkat with a lot of bloatware on top. I successfully rooted the phone and after that i found a cwm recovery installer for this version of the phone and i hooked up the phone and ran the installer on my pc, it finished installing and the phone rebooted into the custom recovery which was in chinese i went into a menu option and then pressed the back button on the screen and the phone instantly rebooted and got stuck at lg boot logo. Is there anyway to fix this? i have tried wiping cache, dalvik and factory reset from the recovery that i can access(chinese or something) but to no avail. I can access the download mode but my pc does'nt recognize the phone and this step is crucial for i guess installing the stock rom through lg flash tools. The phone however is recognized when im in recovery and i plug it in but it only shows as a drive that is faded out and entering it shows nothing. please help me i just got it two days ago

Yeah you just need to flash a different rom through the sd card i tried cloudy rom but it didnt work then a i tried Lamhoang rom and it did the trick im on jellybean now though and i'll try flashing something else in a month or so
ALL FIXED
You are a legend!! Device back up and running.
Okay so I installed that same rom you did but the home/back/menu buttons weren't working so not wanting to muck around, I did some quick searching (which I should have done before >.<) and worked out how to get the Cloudy roms working on a korean device.
You need "Philz cloudy f320 recovery", the kitkat baseband and the rom. LINK
1 - Install the new recovery from zip and then boot back into recovery after this. You will now be greeted with philz recovery which is awesome.
2 - From here, proceed to install the rom as noted on the rom page.
This process worked for me for the Cloudy G3 V1.3 rom.
Thanks a lot for your help!! happy to return the favour! But i am hoping the above info already does that. :victory:

Good to know you got it working again i still cant figure out why this problem occurred in the first place why did the phone brick from the recovery when the recovery was working fiblne after? Also i can just get the new recovery over the one already on the phone without removing the previous one right? Thanks for the info im gonna try out the cloudy roms soon
I have no idea.. something to do with that chinese recovery I am guessing.. There are still a few issues I am going to address but for now my phone is 95% working.
The only issue is that if I try go into download mode, it still doesn't go to the second screen (All i get is the small blue dots). Bit of a pain because that's something nice to fall back on if you ever need to.
I'll search around and try and figure these out in the next week or two, but I am happy with what I have for the moment.
Yep, you literally install the new recovery over your current one and then you can restart phone back into your rom and then reboot back into recovery using an app or the button method.
