I am in alot of problems with my vibrant froyo - bell. help me.

Well I rooted my device a few months back - installed lagfix and it was working fine for months.
I am quite illiterate about these things but ive read and tried my best to understand enough to root my device.
I wanted to extend my battery life and I read that darky's mod could do the trick.
So I installed rom manager - clockworld - tried to flash darky's mod but it didn't work.. Failed to verify sig error.. While doing this I figured I replaced my original froyo in clockworld back up. Because tonight I tried a feature on lagfix to end background processes - put it to strict - hoping it would improve my battery life, well after doing this my phone couldn't function properly. It kept re-booting over and over again - not shutting downing but the processes kept doing that. I can't even get into the settings area without the phone rebooting..
So naturally I restored it and to my surprise superuser is still installed!! with my factory apps...but the problem persisted!! ..now I get a keyboard error along with the rebooting..
I want to bring it to bell but superuser is installed on it which might make them void my warranty even what it takes to reach the apps takes alot of work..

One more thing, superuser can't be uninstalled after the factory reset and it's the only third party app that remained!!

I think I may have had the same problem before. Phone froze during a Nandroid restore, and when it booted up... FC central. However...
Read the RESCUE YOUR VIBRICK guide (in the sticky thread at the top). See if you can get into download mode through the methods listed there. From download mode you can flash a completely stock build. Just read through the guide there and if you run into any problems with Odin, you can ask questions in that thread.

You mention bell in your original post. If you are using a Bell Canada Vibrant, that phone is more like the GT-I9000 than the T-Mobile Vibrant. You might want to go to that section for help. Also, try ROMs and mods specifically for the GT-I9000. The ones for the US vibrant will probably not work on your phone.

What is the model number of your phone? Yes, the I9000 forum has way more support for bell users.
It sounds as if you'll need to use Odin and flash a clean stock version. Sometimes when flashing "ghosts" can be left behind and you'll end up with the problems you see. Post you model number and I'll see if I can't give you proper links to what you need to do a true factory restore and you probably wont have to take your phone anywhere.

ExplodingBoy got the answer, you will need to odin back to stock>then root>then install RomManager and then get the correct rom designed for your phone and flash that .............then all will work beautifully.........good luck

Okay. You can get into download mode correct?
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022445 and select no bootloaders. This is the latest firmware for your phone. Looks like the firmware is split into 3 files so you'll need to extract them to your computer then in ODIN select to corresponding file for the space indicated, you'll see and use the 512 pit where its needed.
If you need the proper ODIN files read on. Then go here http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html to get the latest version of Odin. And then here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and download the 512 pit file.
I would use the PIT512 option which will check the repartition automatically. This will give you the cleanest restore possible. All of your SD will remain intact (should), as a precaution if you have anything on your external sd that you want to save remove it. Be safe though and backup anything to your computer first.
If you need further help we can try the best we can here but you'll have a better time on the I9000 forums. Also check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886158 for topics specific to I9000M.
Good luck.

OMG OMG OMG!! it worked like a charm!!
THANK YOU MAN ..really appreciate your help and everyone who chimed in.
Now I have the latest update, and now time to root it.
Whats the best way to root from here ? and id like to install darky's rom instead of the lagfix I had previously.

Head over to the I9000 forums and find out from there. Anything here is really meant for the T959 Vibrant. I'm not sure if Darkeys is good for you as its built on the international I9000. They'll be more help over there though.
Glad it worked out for you.

I suggest you read up. This rant you went on blew past all the info provided by the OP. He can't boot into recovery, the phone is stuck at logo screen. All he can do is make it go into download mode and everyone knows Odin won't work in his case. Certainly if you yourself did the reading you recommend you wouldn't sound so distant when answering a question.

These two statements contradict each other.
Also, a lot of people can't get into recovery because they are doing it wrong, and it's not the device, so you don't know for a fact his stock recovery isn't accessible.

Perhaps you can explain HOW my statements contradict, and more folk than just myself can learn more. Smart alecs like yourself omit details and assume we know what you do. I still don't have a grasp on all this terminology and get confused. Is installing a zip different than flashing a zip. My shovelhead level of techno-babble has trouble with that.

[Q] Galaxy S5 Bootloop

Before marking this as a duplicate, please note that I've gone through almost every thread on this and different possibilities, but nothing had worked.
This morning, I rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 (US) using towelroot. The root was successful. Next I downloaded Superuser from the Play Store (not the Chainfire one). It said it needed to update something using recovery mode, but it failed with an error. So, I ignored it and continued using the phone. Next, I downloaded the Google Now Launcher from Android L, to get Material Design. I installed Sliding Explorer from the Play Store to access root files. I also got a simple text edit app. To get Material Design, I needed to change ro.build.version.codename=REL to =L in build.prop. When I did and tried to save, it said access denied, so I changed permissions (oops!) to allow the file to be saved. Still didn't work for some reason so I saved the file as build.prop somewhere else and cut and pasted it in. Then, I rebooted my device and it got stuck on the boot screen with the Samsung Galaxy S5 logo with powered by Android beneath it.
What I've tried:
- I have wiped data, the cached, but there is no advanced option for me to wipe dalvik in the stock recovery for the Galaxy S5.
- When I try to use ADB, my device shows up as sideload and sideloading a ROM goes to 100% but ends up in an error. I cannot run ADB Shell, which ends in error:close.
- Using Odinv3 Build 3.09, I think, gets stuck on connecting to the phone, while Odinv3 Build 1.85, I think, gets fails at Complete(Write) error after something to do with NAND write.
My device drivers are all updated, and I've tried different USB ports, even different PC's. Nothing works. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I am allergic to posts that use Urgent in the title. Obviously you'd like to regain use of your phone ASAP. But how that makes your post more important than someone else's is a mystery. Nevertheless, I'm sure that someone else will be along soon to help you.
If you don't find something more expedient, the most reliable solution for a non-bricked phone is to Odin flash a full, stock firmware image that matches your baseband version.

Problem is, as I said, Odin has errors every time I try to flash, different ports and even different PC's. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly? And I'm sure I get the correct version.

You've made some ill advised mods. Now we need more information. Post as many details as you can so that we can spot were the exact problem is.
Paste the exact error from both Odin vetsions here.
Is this originally an ATT phone?
Regular model (i.e. not the special unlocked Developer version)?
Do you know if it the new re-activation lock feature is enabled?
Do you know the phone's baseband /exact firmware version?
Do you have a recent backup?
Are you still able to boot to recovery mode (vol up + home + power)?
Did you ever successfully use Odin with this phone before the bootloop happened?
Perhaps you could remove the Urgent from your title? Edit /Delete > Go Advanced

Yes, originally ATT
Regular model
Don't know about re-activation lock
I think the firmware version is the problem. The last update was the one from ATT that added Yellowpages and Lookout in May. Don't know version. I've been download an April build so maybe that's why there is an error. My phone says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" which apparently occurs when downgrading. Maybe if I can get an updated ROM, I can use Odin? And I've seen suggestions to use Odin3 v3.04, but same error with the April build. I can't find the May build anywhere.
Maybe this will work?:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737257 But it's .zip and I can't flash it with Odin.
I have a Kies backup, that's it. This always happens to me . I'm always too lazy to back up my devices.....
Yes recovery mode works and I can get into ADB Sideload.
Nope, never used Odin before. never tried.

I may have something here!

Great to hear.
As I commented at the outset, all you needed to do was restore a full, stock firmware image to recover. Ideally one that matches your existing baseband. Which is essentially what that thread did. Collected all of the pieces to do a 100% reversion to stock.
I've written similar posts for Verizon and TMobile. Was in fact just rewriting the Verizon one for you when you updated the thread. Anyway, good work. Give yourself a pat on that back and promise to make more backups this time.

Soft Bricked S4!

So I tried rooting my phone and did so succesfully, I then went on and tried to install a custom ROM, so I backed up my current ROM using the CWM Recovery and went to install the ROM being sure to factory reset first, something went wrong and so I used the backup file I made before.
The backup file seemed to be corrupted and now I'm left with my phone that just goes into the recovery mode when I turn it on.
Help? It's an i9506

In short
In short, could someone just link me to a ROM of any sort suitable for the i9506

have a look on samsung - updates dot com
take a "old" firmware before 06-2014

Do you know of any other ROM's? That one will take almost 8 hours to download because of their stupid attempt in making money and slowing downloads.

Flash official rom. Download it from
Www.sammobile.com/firmwares
It wont take much time. But yeah..1-1.5gigs download takes time buddy..
Do press thanks if my posts are helpful
Sent from my Stock Deodexed i9500 :')

I had the same thing happen, and I did all of that including the whole flash counter reset thing, but now I'm stuck. I have a fully functioning phone, besides one thing: it's not activated. Now that wouldn't be a problem if I could actually activate it, but every time I try to activate it (*228), I get the Verizon wireless activation instead of US Cellular. I am in way over my head and have no idea what to do to try and fix this. I just want it back to stock at this point. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the help guys!, Ill let you know on how I go.
Was also wondering if anyone here had found any customs ROM's for the i9506 that would be sweet!

I'm still trying to fix this, the first ROM I downloaded took 18 hours and left me with this
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Ext4) <ID:0/004> <ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So I tried another ROM from SamMobile, same deal.
I found another ROM which was sucesful despite the fact that every 2 seconds a 'Unfortunately Samsung Keyboard has stopped working' error would appear.
I am so lost right now and on the verge of giving up and selling this phone can someone please help me or atleast provide me a ROM I could flash (i9506) please.

You managed to flash 1 stock rom right? Then flash that rom and perform a factory reset.

I do but it doesn't solve the "Unfortunately, Samsung Keyboard has stopped working" issue.

You should also know that I do have backup files but they show up with MD5 mismatch errors, I've tried various things to fix them but no cigar.
As you guys can see I'm reaaaaaaaly lost here.

I've successfully loaded Cyanogen mod onto my phone, questions, the cyanogen mod is 4.4.4 does that mean that I can't go back to 4.3 for a stock ROM?

This has got to be the most useless forum I've ever visited. Bye I'll figure this one out on my own.

FRP Lock, unable to be flashed onto, and no SIM card

I seem to be stuck in a pickle, and at this rate this phone is seeing a swift throw to the curb by my friend who had given me this phone after getting his new one.
So, he had given me the phone and I was glad to finally move on from my issue-ridden HTC One M8, which was essentially on it's last legs. Even this low quality phone was more usable than the piece of junk I have. I got to work, and I installed the RebornROM, and I had went ahead to delete some of the bloatware.
However, it seems that my dumb self removed a Samsung app, and it seems to have triggered the FRP lock. I didn't think it was a big deal, seeing as how reverting back to stock was apparently most people's fix. I saw the Realterm fix, however I have 0 access to the home at all, and no SIM card. I downloaded the firmware, and I started up Odin to flash the stock firmware on. I was met with an error that I can only find scarce info on, and on YouTube it seems to be from Indian tech channels who are telling me to buy z3x-tools, and I'm not here to go ahead and try to do that.
To be more specific, my particular error is: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1. I could not find info on this error from xda, and I'm confused really. What's going on here?
As per promise to my friend, if I fail to find anything on this issue by tomorrow, the phone meets it's doom by the curb. After all, I'd really like to not use this janky phone anymore, as I'm quite tired of being unable to do nothing (to be more specific, it's using an older version of Cyanogen because I can't afford to use Sunshine to upgrade my bootloader and S-OFF, and everything on the phone is slowly stopping to work, in particular my camera app crashes instantly, flashlight does not work, a good chunk of the left side of my touch screen has stopped responding and I've had to use one-handed mode to text, along with flipping the screen, and it is a gigantic mess of issues.)
Please help out, xda. I've got nothing else I can really do for this phone, and here I was figuring this would just be an easy night of fixing the damn thing.

After some fiddling, I have now gotten an error on startup that isn't even the FRP lock anymore; it's a notice telling me to use the Smart Switch app's emergency backup. Attempted to install it, and after jumping through multiple hoops and several fixes, I am stumped at "Error 1152: Temporary files failed to copy" upon attempting to open it's installer.
Pushing on, I have received a new error. I instead am just attempting to install the AP file, and I now receive another error: KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:1, BINARY:0. Even more fun, because there's even less information on this one. In fact, I have only found others crying for help as I am. Regardless, I am now trying the other 3 files. BL outright fails to download, CP has replaced the screen I saw originally, instead putting the kernel error up top instead of the old FRP lock error I'd get. CSC seems to have put the FRP lock error back though. Afterward, I had a feeling that maybe BL will work now? I simply got my usual old SW REV error I mentioned already.
From here, I learned of an issue here. I think I need a different AP file. My phone is the MetroPCS version. The only reason I say this is because I realized the AP file caused the Smart Switch error, then CP -> CSC brought me back to the failure. The KERNEL REV issue occurs when trying to use my AP, with these logs:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
This leads me to think perhaps I have a corrupted file. However, I have found 1 single link for the firmware. Perhaps someone can help me?

Can you get into recovery and see which firmware you are on? Does your phone boot into the os? I've been through a lot of these issues. I just recently didn't have a sim, so no real term, and had the Google lock, but there is a way out of it.

Cannot get into the OS, recovery, anything. All I can do is enter download mode. The FRP lock prevents anything else.

I ran into the same issue on another on5 when I had unlocked it for a friend, rooted it, then stupidly took off oem unlock and and rebooted to give back to him. I had to Odin the exact firmware I was running in order for it to work and fix the phone. I was running a t mobile older version ( an APF1) while trying to flash an (APL1) which wouldn't allow me to flash the AP partition in Odin. Once I flashed the full APF1 firmware with a factory reset, it booted normally, but unrooted, of course. Finding the correct firmware should hopefully fix your problem if your circumstances were like mine.

Check out these links. There are also other links and other threads to check out as well. Also check out sammobile.com as they have the the stock firmware for this phone.

You can also pm me for link to my drive account as I have both of the baseband versions of this firmware. Hope this helps
----edit-----
Here's another thread to check out as well. Make sure to use the latest version of odin as well. Oh and one more thing it you're gonna use any custom Rom on this device I suggest only using the one by @SuperStars as all the others are for the Indian variant and will cause sound yo not work at all on any other Varian even though they claim to work for the metro/tmobile variants. Superstars can be found here:

Unfortunately, all of these are not the solutions to my issues. I require the AP, CP, CSC, etc. versions of the firmware that can be sent through Odin. I have no access to my recovery or OS due to the lock already being on.

All the links I sent you were to the odin flashable .tar files which is all the files needed to get your phone up and going again. Most of the links will show the download as a zip file which you would extract after downloading then use odin to flash the extracted files to your phone

Are you sure? I downloaded from every link and it seemed to be a standard recovery .zip file from each one; that or the link was expired, deleted, etc.

wrong forum

Sorry to bump this, but I need a response to this now. I have no files to flash and my old phone just bricked, so...
Can anyone help me out? I need an Odin flash in order to do anything, in which nobody has provided me any reliable file. The last guy in the thread earlier from a couple months ago gave me broken links instead of anything, and then didn't respond after I made him aware of this. Someone please.

How did you get past the FRP lock?

Hi there. Did you ever get an Odin link that worked? Is that the best/only way to unlock a Galaxy on5 Metro PCS?

I have no clue. I never got a Odin link that worked. I need it to make my phone work, which is why I'm asking, since nobody seems to have what I'm asking for.

Use the PL1 firmware. The most spread around one is the PF1, these should work. If not, I'm not sure what to say. Browse a bit more until you can find a solution. This fixed my phone finally.

What kind of phone? How did you load the firmware? Did it bypass the Google lock?

1. Umm... MetroPCS On5. :b
