I'm sure there is another post about this but I don't know where it is, have looked, a little, but, just want my specifi ? answered. So, have Epic and went to flash from CWM2.5 to 3. Followed all instructions and 1st time didn't flash right, so, reflashed, again, sidenote, I followed all instructions correctly. Anyways, seemed like everything was fine until it rebooted after switching all to Ex4 and from that point only Samung bootup screen appears and nothing else. In addition, have been unable to do 3 finger startup since the reboot. Help, esn swapped to my POS Hero that's slower than slow until I get some advice. Thanks.

I did the samething when I installed cwm 3. U gotta take ur microsd card out and insert it into a computer using an adapter. From there dl a rom of your choice, place it on the sd card, and then flash with cwm.

Yeah, it sounds like the rom flash after the ext4 upgrade didn't "take". Try what the previous poster suggested and if that doesn't help, look up the Odin posts on this forum. Even if you can't "3-finger" into some form of recovery - as long as you can put the phone into download mode (holding down the "1" key while you power the phone on), you can use odin with 99% success.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and maybe I can try to walk you through it without you getting bashed on here! LOL

He doesn't need odin. The CWM3 flash he did was successful. He just needed to flash an ext4 ROM to get past the Samsung Boot screen.

That's my thought as well. What rom is the OP trying to use? Is it ext4 compatible? Using a rom that isn't compatible with your file system is one way to get stuck at the Samsung screen.
Although, if ext4 didn't "take" or was partially completed, it could result in something like this. Reflashing with cwm3 might fix this if it notices a problem and tries to redo the conversion.
If flashing a good ext4 compatible rom doesn't fix it, then using Odin and starting over quickly becomes the best option. Though there is a reRFS dk28 rom that the OP could try to flash from his current situation.
Ok flashed Midnight Standard and goes straight to CWM3 startup screen & that's it. So, am I gonna have to do the whole Odin thing? I really hope not. Oh, and fyi I'm a SHE not a HE, lol!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
There's a girl on our website! OMG!
Look for the reRFS dk28 rom. It will try to reformat your phone back to rfs. Then try again. Or just go ahead and jump straight to Odin. Some people seem have a hard time with Odin, but it really isn't that hard.
Ok, thanks for the input. Screw it, just going to do Odin and not mess around anymore. Not having a phone the last day in a half is driving me nuts! Can you point me to a link that has all the stuff I need to do this. I've surfed a couple links and some lead to dead link for Odin. Besides, I want to make sure I've got all the right "ish" to do this. Thanks, so much!

Just because you didn't care to read ANY of the stickies around... I'll make sure you do, i'll give you instructions but lets see if you can go back a page and click the stickies to learn how to do all of this:
you will need to get into download mode, and odin - this is the safest and recommended route
if you want to take a bit of a risk you can try to go into recovery and flash the ROM you were in before - this can lead to more bootloops/brick
here is the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwNzHqezAuU&feature=youtu.be
If only there was a guide that explained what to do when you get a bootloop while installing ICS. Hmmm. (Hint: see my sig).
If that doesn't work, rider's is the way to go.
Edit:: saw that you posted your video. That is a fast ass bootloop. Hit your thanks button by accident. Anyways try pulling your battery and booting into recovery and reflashing ICS again over itself. Did you wipe and factory reset?
i am a dumbass that followed a youtube video tutorial congratulations to me(pissed >(, i went straight from eclair to ics. wopdee do. I got odin in a ".rar" file and cant open it, but i prob have the wrong odin then right?
Not sure about your Odin file but check my guide for clear instructions. Need to go from 2.1 to CM7 to ICS flavor.
Alright i am lost and pissed? what should i do now, (i did my touchpad just fine to ics) to let you know that i am not a complete n00b about this, but the vibrant is not liking me...
ok, now that i've seen the video this is not any normal BOOT LOOP.
What exactly did you do to get this? Which flashing procedures did you look at?
Can you at all get into recovery/download mode?* most important question*
Do you have Froyo Bootloaders or GB bootloaders? (if you don't know what these are and have not messed with bootloaders you are on Froyo.)
I have just read what the recovery says through the video
It pretty much says that it is trying to flash ICS PASSION, but it cannot because your sdcard is either a) wiped b) not mounted c) the ICS PASSION file is corrupted and/or ics passion has been deleted somehow.
-after reading some latest posts from you, i'm sorry for making you feel like a dumbass but you did not read the instructions, mainly the stickies, and did not follow the instructions on how to get to ICS from eclair. That is why. Many do not and I prefer not to give any help at all to people who can't help themselves, but I understand your situation and i'll try to help. Sorry for offending you if I did, its just that some people need to be treated that way so they open their eyes and start reading around.
i understand that, but i did a battery pull and the samsung vibrant is still doing the same thing, when i hold power and volume down it stays at the "vibrant" thing but that is it, i can do anything else but watch it boot loop.
okay, i did a wipe on my sd card before installing, let me try to find the youtube guide
here is the guide that i followed, i just went from step three onward because it was rooted but nothing else
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iryi3TzylN4
Rider, see if you can help him out. My boy just woke up. Let me get him back to sleep and ill be back after these messages.
PS I just PM'd him the CM7 Rom.
thanks, i hope someone can help me out.

Okay..... so after watching that guide. I have never seen ANYONE using that method, mainly because he didn't flash ANY kind of CM7 kernel etc.
Most of his instructions were right, but he just did something on his phone that seemed unusual, but i guess worked for him...

Dude that video is wack. He pirates one version of CWR but once it boots up is a completely different version. Check out the numbers on top. The edits are terrible. Cuts out some pretty huge points. Plus he starts out with Passion beta 1 on his settings screen before he edits back to show you how to do it, but ends up with RC1.
so am i screwed? if i am than thanks for trying to help me though.
No you are not screwed. Odin back to stock 2.1 and then follow the instructions. Don't sweat getting Gingerbread bootloaders for now. Get your phone in download mode.
You probably won't know this but even if you phone doesn't show download mode on its screen, you want that yellow COM box to light up in Odin. Once you see that, profit.

First read the post above this and try to get odin to light up yellow, if it does, no JIG needed, odin and you should be good. If that does not happen, then you will need a JIG.
Since you cannot get into recovery or download mode, I would try a JIG before claiming that your phone is a brick.
does the odin and stock rom from the video that i used work? or where should i get the odin and stock rom this time without effing up?
I don't think I've bricked my phone, I hope you can help me. Done some reading here, but still a big time noob! Trying to flash back to stock for the Verizon upgrade, my phone is stuck on the screen with a gold triangle and a exclamation point in the center of a cell Phone and a computer. I found a thread with a similar problem. I can't seem to have a successful flash in odin. I keep getting a fail when i flash the test file. I would be content if I could just get the phone to boot and have my Miunia Rom working again. Someone please help.

That means you have no kernel our rom in the phone. Not sure what this "test file" you are trying to flash is, but I'm not surprised its failing. Flashing dl 17 should work. If not, flash the ec07 leak, with the proper pit file, repartition unchecked. Then flash dl17.
Dished out by my dumb digits
now it's worse, I hit the dark abyss
So, I flashed(with odin) the clean Eco7 stock with with the correct pit file. It seemed to be doing fine, it got all the way to recov.bin but then I froze there for about an hour. At this point i didn't think it was going to pass anyway so i unplugged the phone and stopped the program(oops?). Now my phone is even worse, it seems lifeless. The phone won't even go to down load mode. I found on another post where someone else was also getting nothing, no power just blackness, and I followed those directions. Still a black screen. It seems more grim than ever! One thing I have noticed that while attempting to flash, a few times my computer completely rebooted. Out of know where! This has happened about 5 or 6 times. I'm just about ready to turn on my old flip phone but I just don't want to give up yet! Any more suggestions?!
Oops, is right. You may have hard bricked yourself. I've tried helping people out of this one before, with no sucess. That is the reason I told you to make sure repartition was unchecked. You can try to power on, and issue an adb command, if you have it installed. But, I doubt it will work. The reason you don't have download, at this point, is because you don't have a secondary bootloader on your phone, anymore. It turns into a catch 22. Download mode is supposedly hard written on the chip. So, you could use a jig to force it into download mode. I'd say that that is your best bet, at this point.
did uncheck repartition
I did uncheck repartition but obviously with no avail. I Will try the"jig" but I don't know anything about it. Is this a file I can download or what?
No matter what happens, thanks soooo much for the efforts to help me!!! Especially wolf??
No. A jig is a piece of hardware. Do a youtube search for 'download mode jig' and you''' get some good hits. You'd have to construct it, or get ahold of some of the devs that have. I don't recall the name, but one dev made one for the Fascinate. I'd imagine it would work for our phone too.
If anyone can remember who it is (I want to say Adam Outler, but I might be wrong) pipe up.
Hi everyone, I've searched and tried some solutions for this but the problem is the display is permanently black, not even samsung logo is displayed on bootup.
My GT-i9505 has a CWM recovery installed and a custom ROM, and today it notified me that SU Binary needs to be updated, so I updated it and it said Success, recommend to reboot, which I did.
It seemed to boot up but the display was constantly black. Manually turned it off by holding down power button, then restarted but still nothing.
I have Odin and samsung drivers etc, just not sure if I should try and flash a stock/new Custom ROM from Odin or if theres an easier way to do it (maybe someone can guide me thru the CWM recovery and be my eyes since my screen is Black?)
Please and thank you.
First of all, you better switch to TWRP.
Second, maybe try flashing a SuperSU zip through the recovery.
If that doesn't work, then try dirty flashing your current rom again.

It is booting and running, touch is working etc but I'm completely blind. Can someone please try to help with n00b friendly suggestions, will flashing a new Custom ROM work? And I'd like to know what has happened after the SU binary update that caused screen/backlight to become non-functional...

...err...wow...
do you have a HDMI adaptor cable aka MHL adaptor or a chromecast type device at home ? it maybe that your screen has just died and that it's nothing to do with the binary (if it's booting normally albeit with a blank screen).

Good idea, I do have chromecast but will need mini HDMI cable/adaptor to check. Although it would be massive odds against random screen death, since it was immediately after reboot from SU binary.
Thanks for the intelligent reply, glad to see there are still some helpful people here.
if you can borrow a lead and your screen is being mirrored you can download an image file of TWRP and flash it with flashify from the store. I doubt screen mirroring works from the recovery
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
unzip the attached file and copy it to your SDcard then find it within the flashify app...
Awesome OK that gives me a starting point TY. When I connect the MHL adapter will it mirror automatically or will I have to try to blindly press the mirror symbol? I haven't used an MHL adapter/cable before. If it works then I'll use Flashify and hope it restores the phone screen.
if it's going to work it will work without any selecting of options, it's automatic...
If the you run out of solutions, you could flash a stock ROM back to your phone as this will bring the phone back to the factory settings; however, you will lose your data and installed apps.
If you decide to flash back to stock using Odin, I suggest launching Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone in download mode, flash the rom, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds and replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, and reboot. Be sure to use the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your phone.

Since you said you have CWM recovery and a rom installed I assumed you would knew how to flash stuff. Unless they were flashed by somebody else?
Anyway, flashing SuperSU.zip is as easy as googling for the zip then boot into recovery and flash the zip file.
Unless the recovery is dark too. Then that's a problem.
And flashing the rom again is done the same way. No need for TVs and chromecasts.
Theoretically, flashing the SuperSU.zip should work, as it replaces the binaries.
Flashing the rom should work too. Unless you have a dead screen. Then no software can fix it.
When you're using apps that modify system files things like this can happen. Something may have went wrong during the update.
@GDReaper he's already said "how can I even try that when there's nothing but blackness on my screen?" to your suggestion of flashing via recovery so MHL will help him
1) to see if the phone is running normal minus the screen
2) to replace CWM as you suggested without using recovery (which he won't be able to do even with MHL).

So I probably misunderstood him. He said it is booting and so I thought that, during the booting, the screen works, and only when you are about to go into the OS the screen is black (As it happened to me before). My bad.
If the screen is black during the whole process it means the screen is busted. And it was probably just a coincidence, as I don't really see how updating the su binaries can damage the screen.

Ok. Then it is definitely a screen problem. Changing software won't fix it.
You have to get a new screen.
I've tried the cable, no output to HDMI though. Phone is operating but in complete black screen from power on. Have tried to tap the screen mirroring button blindly (by touching all the top system buttons one by one) but no change. This leads me to think it is a software/firmware issue, somehow the SU binary has affected graphics output???
So my only chance now is try to flash using Odin? I have downloaded a new Custom ROM, ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.4-20160223-jfltexx but I think I can only flash that one using recovery which will be difficult blind, unless someone can give me precise button sequence. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what recovery I have on there, but I think it may be the touch version...
I flashed TWRP using Odin no probs, but still no use as screen is still blank from power on.
I was going to revert to stock first but sammobile.com downloads at only 15kb/s so I'm not waiting 2 days for that 1.5gb download.
Can someone please give me a link to a good download for my GT-i9505, that I can flash with Odin. I want a light Custom ROM but if not possible to flash from PC then I'll try stock first.
Thanks,
Hi guys, I have a similar problem. I had a notification saying I need to "Update the #SU Binary". There was issues with the update, it gave me the option of restarting or trying the update again. I selected to try the update again. It failed again and now the screen is black with constant error messages, saying "Unfortunately, Galaxy Apps has stopped", "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped". Pretty much the same error message recurring with every app that would normally run on start up, then the phone just reboots itself every 5 minutes after the error messages have all done a round. I am desperate to recover the data on the phone.

There isn't much you can do. Backup user data and factory reset.
I installed Lineage 15 on to my SGN4. Bad BAD, BAD idea.
The resoloution is totally messed up and part of my screen is unusable and unresponsive so I cant activate the commands in TWRP.
Does anyone know how to entirely nuke this phone so I can start over.
The only way to communicate with the phone is with Oden

Does it appear this way in Recovery or Download Mode?
hello, I wonder if your case similar to mine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/whats-wrong-note4-graphic-glitch-boot-t3781786
Check that out. Although I have not found any solution to it either. The graphic glitch happens while using the phone, on boot (samsung logo), recovery mode (default android with the green android logo saying it's updating but the graphics glitch will happen there).

Seriously?, how do you people not know how to flash a stock ROM via ODIN as a 1st step to solve a bad flash?
Thats flashing 101 and flashing a stock ROM is Step 1 when everything goes badly wrong when flashing custom ROMS
Any other way is wasting everyones time and will not provide a happy joyous time
Step 2 is at least attempting to use the forum search for answers instead of creating a new post, hoping to be spoonfed answers
Off to sammobile.com or updato.com for your latest stock ROM you go

The phone will boot-up to Lineage. Parts of the screen will work, others won't. Unlucky for me the parts of the screen I need to work TWERP are just those screen segments or blocks of pixels that are totally unresponsive. Bummer
Finding a working cut of my stock OS has been a non starter. All the d/l's I've found have all been corrupted.
There has to be somewhere on the net that keeps a working suppository of hash checkable stock-were?????

Finding a working cut of my stock OS has been a non starter. All the d/l's I've found have all been corrupted.
There has to be somewhere on the net that keeps a working suppository of hash checkable stock-were?????
Thanks

1) nice attitude, it will get you far, p.s. you said yourself the only way to communicate with the device is via Odin, so my advice is correct...
2) the links you have been given are the most used source of legitimate and checked stock ROMs. Md5 hashes are not listed on those sites as the firmware is checked by Odin when you load it. Those sites are where I and 99% of people get their stock ROMs, and I've never had a bad download yet, in years...if they're corrupted, it's your internet connection sorry, they are large downloads, so any interruption will have dire effects. If you have repeated issues downloading them, either pay for the faster premium service, or highly recommended...borrow a friend's internet connection
