First off, Sprint S4, I had LiquidSmooth until it suddenly broke (apps gone, settings went wonky, lots of sudden glitches) so I've been trying to fix that. When I cleaned flash, it worked for a while, than it kept turning off and not getting out of the boot screen. I've tried with many roms and the stock one and it just wont cooperate with me. Also I'm having troubles charging the phone. It keeps malfunctioning when I plug it in but it charges, the original wall charger won't work for it when the cable is fine but it worked with a different cable and outlet. Something is VERY messed up and I'm not sure what to do anymore. I keep doing the three wipes and flash but it's now stuck. Is this a hardware issue? Radio issue? I don't know but I really need help.
It's really hard to explain. It acts out whenever it's charging and i made one rom boot up thought it didnt have wifi so I'll experiement getting liquid smooth on it again. I dont know why suddently the it's giving me usb problems and why roms just suddenly break
Liquidsmooth booted and now Im getting a "unfortunatly, contextprovider has stopped"
yup, did it again, at the boot screen the message wont go away and behind it is something requesting root
fought through it and just giving me problems. Going to instead of flashing "L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_L720VPUFNAE_HOME.tar" with ODIN ill flash "L720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar"
It booted and reflashing to liquidsmooth is stuck at boot
Ok, I "think" i got it. The clock stopped once and that made my heart skip a beat. As long as it doesnt take a **** again and shut itself off and refuse to propertly boot, it should be ok.
Also please excuse the typos, I've been at this for 2 days straight.
Would an APN flash do this?
WTF I saw a duplicate dialer, one went away, two clocks, one crashes, and home button doesnt work
Ok, one is native and one is GAPP and now titaniumbackup cant restore the proper ID,
Ok 2nd times the charm, home works but Titaniumbakup ID won't restore
Nvm. Home still doesnt work but it does in key test in custom recovery
Ok, im PRAYING this NANDroid backup holds

I guess **** happened...
At morning taking phone from the dock, I noticed some apps FC. And it continued sporadically along day, so at one point I simply decided to reboot. Phone turned of fine... However I was unable to turn it on immediately after. It was showing black battery. Whatever I did no dice. I even tried my wifes phone battery.
That happened on the road, so at one point I decided to plug it in. Oh miracle - phone booted with power!!! But then my troubles worsened, because I've noticed that it always shows USB connected, starts desk home in night mode, shows battary constantly charging. Stuff like this. I've tried factory reset, reflash to stock DJ05. Nothing helped. Now it getting worse, because screen started to blink when on power...
Does it sounds familiar to somebody? Need to replace?
After trying everything I can imagine, it is kind of obvious that I have HW failure. My problem is that in order to return it back to Verizon I need to have DI01. I did backup from recovery before flashing DJ05.
All this is fine, however I'm not sure if this backup will restore radio. I guess not. If not, how I can flash one? I'm having problems to get in download mode and I think ODIN is unable to detect port. Do we have radio zip i can flash with recovery?
My first fascinate had the same problem, had to return it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
It seems like USB is still alive, at least partially. After countless attempts I managed to connect it computer in download mode and flashed DI01. At first it looked like it fixed the problem... However now USB indicator changes on and off constantly. If you turn it off it reappears in a few seconds. Only upside is that comp sees it and I now have unrooted DI01.
Sad. My phone was in mint condition after over 3 months of usage. Who knows what kind of refarb I'll get.
my battery was running low, (and coz poor battery issues with JPY), i didnt notice when it switched of. normally i use the power button to turn the screen on to unlock, but instead i realised the phone had been off as it was now booting up...it booted up fine went into the homescreen and then vibrated once and powered down.......now it was powering down for a long time and occasionally there were vibrations and the lights on the home keys were constantly on. the screen was black. i got home and tried to charge it but the progress bar showed no progress on charging, i tried to switch it on but it would go to startup screen vibrate cupla times and power down. so eventually had to do a hard reset in recovery mode. tried every option but in the end had todo it by wiping data.
now the thing is, is this supposed to happen? if ur battery suddenly losses power ur whole fone will screw up?
for future ref if ur battery dies dont try to switch ur fone on until u got some charge in it and use the home key to put screen on..
Sounds like it could have been faulty firmware .
JPY does not have a significant battery drain problem per se .

Black screen, vibrations and no boot after restart
Hello! I had almost the same experience (Black screen after reboot and occasional vibrations) only mine refused to boot even after memory wipe and after flashing new roms.
Was your phone rooted? Because I think rooting a 2.2.1 rom (XWJS3) was the beginning of my nightmare. keep in mind that the phone was working like charm for two months. This was the second time I had a problem. The first time the phone started after performing a factory reset by itself!
In case this happens to you next time and for every non experienced galaxy player (like me) reading this:
Don't panic! Blank screen, vibrations and no boot doesn't necessarily mean a hardware problem. Finally I managed to fix it flashing eclair and repartitioning with pit512. Now I'm a happy XWJS8 user
And a question for the experts: Any clue why this happened? Is it really a rooting issue? Can a cheap Chinese battery from ebay cause this?
everything was stock on mine, no root.......maybe thats why i could recover it??!!
Maybe! and I hope the reason is faulty firmware as JJEgan says. If this is true, your phone will be fixed by the next update.
I was very urge... the same happened again. It's been a month of smooth functioning and now after a simple restart, the device doesn't boot for absolutely no reason (Stuck on black screen constantly vibrating). Since my phone wasn't rooted, and I haven't seen many people talking about a problem like this I suspect:
1. Faulty hardware (for a few devices including yours and mine)
2. A Bad app.
Contacts Vanished
Hey Everyone
Im having similar problems, i updated my sgs to the js7 version of froyo, then rooted it with oneclick method. this was as i got the phone a month ago. Its been smooth sailing since then. But last night the phone powered down and wen it loaded up it had no contacts, my sms where still there but all the apps had a force close issue none worked. so cleared the cache in recovery. Still nothing so i did a factory reset and once loaded up. i formatted the sd and internal within the settings option. So the phone was now clean. I then connected to pc luckily had backups so installed titanium restored all my apps n settings. Using kies restored my contacts n thanks to an app called sms backup i restored those.
So all was well and worked again. I didnt restore the apps i had installed within the last week to make sure it was not a faulty app. I was happy, but now tonight it did it again. No contacts again.
Pls help
Any suggestions
That's exactly how it started for me. One month after rooting froyo 2.2.1 Suddenly everything force closes and the device hard resets by itself. I reinstall all the apps and then after one month and performing a simple restart, it refuses to boot. Stays in a black screen and vibrates every some seconds. I flash a new rom but does the same. Problem solved after repartitiong and flashing original eclair with pit 512. Reflashed a 2.2.1 rom and everything works perfect (the phone now is unrooted and with a nice clear stock rom). But then after one month again (!) I realise that some videos refuse to play. Trying to restart and craaash. black screen, vibrations and no boot. Did the same again (repartitioning and flashing) and now I wait for another month to pass and lose an hour of my life to do the same again. No idea why this is happening. Is it possible that rooting messes with something that stays faulty after restoring the file system? is there an app that we all installed and caused this mess? please this is the most serious problem I've red in this forum and still a mystery. I believe this thread should be sticky and we all share similar experiences because this looks completely random!

Hey guys,
Some how my phone got a virus and I believe the virus has completely wiped the stock rom. Last night, I took it to the AT&T store, they were able to boot into download mode. It gave a warning saying a custom rom could break installed apps or something.
They gave it back to me, and I figured I could just reflash the rom since it was somewhat bootable, so I turned the phone off until I got home.
Once I got home, I tried booting into download and the phone isn't responding at all. I've tried all of the button combinations, tried a different battery, tried charging over night. Nothing has worked. After a while last night, I was able to get a vibrate and the screen would flash a 1px line across the screen and turn back off. This morning however, I am not getting anything.
Not sure if there is anything I could do at this point. Hoping someone has a way to force download through the computer or something. Never had any problems with viruses, always been cautious. Its really frustrating. I know viruses can be really nasty, but can it seriously delete everything including kernal or Samsung's bios?
Thanks for the help, don't think I have any options but hoping someone is a wizard and can help.
Hello! Okay so this is a weird issue with my phone. It started in November and i had to switch to an older galaxy s5 which is pretty slow for today's standards. Anyways one day while it was charging it started to reboot and didn't stop. I didn't think much of it. I took the phone apart to make sure it wasn't shorting out or anything. I reset everything on the phone. I replace about half the phone. I really need the phone to work because I need the speed. So the full problem the phone would turn on and boot but right when it going to the lock screen it would restart. Sometimes it boots all the way but it crashes and reboots about 1 minute of use. I cannot find a solution. I tried flashing a the original rom and it still didn't work. I put the boot loader back to stock. I tried to reflash the kernel, that also didn't work. If watched a ton of tutorials but no one seems to have the same problem.
Okay, so yesterday I was out with friends and my battery was low.When I had to use my phone, shortly after the battery died.I came home, started charging it and when it had about 20% i turned it on.Ever since that, my phone is constantly switchung between my lockscreen and stock homescreen, with me not being able to do anything(go to the settings or something like that).So I hard reset the phone and when it booted up and I was going through the basics, one message popped up every few seconds: "The UI has stopped working." So it was difficult to go through all that stuff, but I made it only to see the problem is still the same.I also tried to take it apart and blow the dust off the MB hoping it would work, but unsuccesfully.I also have to mention the screen is cracked very bad and you can see inside the phone down where the LG logo is, but the phone was working absolutely fine in that state for over a year.Any help? :crying:
I'm guessing that you didn't have a lot of storage left on your phone, right ? A similar thing once happened to me, rebooted while storage was completely full. Refused to work until I reflashed it.
