omg help this is serious. i tried to do what it tell me to do to install megatron rom. i wipe data partition sd card and wipe data/factory reset. then when i reboot my phone. everything is like normal choose your language and all that stuff and finally press 'use phone' then my screen goes blank. i cant press anything. though the notification bar with wireless 3g wireless and so on are still there but besides that nouthing is pressable. i cant switch off my phone with using power button so i had to remove to battery.
then i switch it on again, then after the lg logo the the android logo, that is when its stuck forever. though i still can access custom recovery. i cant copy my rom to my sd card cause like i said, i cant press anything when the phone boot.
now i cant do anything with my phone it just stuck with the android logo forever. i think theres a way is to install a rom. but i cant find a way to copy my rom from pc to sd card to install it from 'flash zip from sdcard' in custom recovery.
HELP!!!!
Look for the option called "Toggle USB-MS" in the custom recovery menu. This will let you access the sdcard from the computer (like a memory stick) while in the custom recovery. Copy the zip you need to flash, then disconnect the phone and un-toggle the usb-ms connection before flashing.

Now that I have your attention, after a series of mistakes, I am stuck in recovery with a rom that won't flash, an sd card that won't mount and cwm recovery so I don't think I can use adb to move files. Also, no nandroids (learn from my mistakes children!)
I'm not used to samsung phones so I don't know if it is trying to flash the rom from internal memory or not but under mounts it says unmount /mnt/sdcard so I think that means its trying to flash from internal memory which I don't think is possible.
EDIT: Wait, now I just have the boot screen no recovery... HELP!
I see Sprint as your provider....is this to deal with a T-mobile Vibrant? Just asking...
Read about ODIN. It will get you right back to where you need to be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
Yes its a tmo vibrant (its my friends phone, luckily im bigger than him)
So after a couple hours of searching, I can get the phone into download mode, I have the right odin and software to go to stock, and supposedly the right drivers, but when I plug the phone in to get to download mode, my computer recognizes it, it goes into download mode, but odin doesn't see the phone(a box is supposed to go yellow?). The only thing I can think of is that I have the wrong drivers but my computer sees it just fine...
I think it's the phone not letting the computer get to it. I'm almost positive I have the right drivers but when I plug in the phone in download mode nothing happens in odin. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, If you can get into recovery without CWM that is better Try the holding down the vol-up/down and hold the start/on button at the same time if it blinks on then off then on then off then release all buttons if that works you should see the recovery menu, if you have the rom in your internal sd card, then you can install by choosing install from sd card then choose select file next menu.
If not you may need to use
Get Odin going (version 1.7or newer) have the usb plugged into the computer not the phone remove the battery and this time only hold the vol up/down at the same time and then plug in the usb. That will get you into recovery and you can odin back or install from there.
READ the NOOB guide by S15274N in the General section sticky. It has a complete play by play on how to do this.
Good luck
Yea I currently have odin 1.7 with I assume the right drivers (ive never had the phone plugged in to this computer while operational) and I do exactly that to get the phone in download mode and odin never sees it. The computer dings and recognizes it (thats how im installing the drivers) but not odin.
Remove the battery, put back in
Open odin
Plug usb into pc, not phone
Go to download mode
Plug usb to phone
Com 3 or 5 connected?
And be positive you have the right odin
If you can get into clockworkmod you should be fine. Just select install from SD and scroll to the zip file of the rom. Give it time to reboot say 5 to 10 minutes. While that's working get the newer version of Odin 1.8??? If the Tom fails in clockwork then do a battery pull. Start Odin. Plug USB into phone only. Hold both volume up and down. While holding plug USB into computer.
I'll go to the computer in a sec and see if I can find a link for latest Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Steps 1 through 4 but odin doesn't respond to the phone being plugged in.
If it makes a difference, to get to download mode, I have to boot into recovery, go to 'ULF Lagfix features' and select reboot into download mode. It also will go into download mode if I hold the volume buttons and then plug in the phone.
I really dont see what I'm doing wrong thats why I started a thread.
I have odin 1.7 ill go try to find 1.8?
Wait, why can't you just reboot? Did I miss something?
Um all the phone can do is go to recovery, and download mode, I have a rom on the phone that won't flash, after a little research, i'm pretty sure the md5 checksum of that rom is bad, therefore won't flash. Im not a samsung guy, is it possible to flash a rom from internal memory? Could I just push a rom through adb? All I have is recovery though and im pretty sure that doesn't support adb. I do have the option to mount usb mass storage though.This is why i'm using odin as a last resort because im used to htc phones this is my friends sammy.
Try this version of Odin...http://www.mediafire.com/file/z7e8fg365znsfpn/Odin3 v1.81.exe
Nope nothing. Damn could it be that I have the wrong files, but that wouldn't change the fact that odin isn't seeing my phone. Does odin take an extraordinary long time to find the phone or something because nothing happens when I plug in in download mode? BTW thanks for the help its nice to see some support
Also I'm not clear as to where your at exactly. When you flashed the rom did it reboot to the Vibrant screen or give you a message in clockwork that it failed. If it booted to the vibrant screen did you give it at least 5 minutes or more to boot (it can take awhile for the initial boot.)
Either way the newer Odin version should recognize the phone. I know I had problems with the older versions.
Yea I put the rom on let it sit for 15 min, came back changed the language then gave it a reboot to let it settle back in. It reset again on the reboot. After about another 30 min of messing with it, im like screw it lets go to another rom that I already had on the sd card, I booted into recovery, to find that it wasnt seeing the sd card. I then restarted (in norwegian) and put a new rom on the phone. (On my mac it recognized the sd card and the internal storage so I put it on both in case) I then went to flash this new different rom through recovery which failed. The new rom flash deleted the old rom but never flashed the new one, leaving me with recovery. After hours of trying to figure out if I can adb push a new rom into recovery, I decided to try odin. After installing drivers and finding all the stock files, im now at this point where odin wont see the phone. Thats just about the whole story give or take.
Edit: The only problem with your rom was that it reset the language every time I turned it on and that it lost my sd card because it was the wrong kernel. I'm now trying to flash a different rom, in an attempt to fix the sd card, but it failed for whatever reason, and has left me with nothing.

Okay got it now...First, did you try the newer Odin that I posted? Second are you able to ADB push to the internal still. If you can do either of these then go here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 if doing ADB the get any of the .zip files, push to phone and flash. If able to use Odin then get any of the .tar files. Go into Odin UNCHECK repartition and only load the .tar file into PDA and click start.
Seems that there is a problem going backwards from 2.2.1 to 2.2
Hope this helps.
Yes the new Odin is the one I just tried and it's still not working. Also, when I try to start adb it says no such file or directory. I can only get into recovery and I dont think adb works from recovery. I guess what im trying to say is that my sd card won't mount, I can only flash from internal memory, but I cant add or remove from the internal memory because I don't have a rom to boot into. Also, for whatever reason, odin won't find my phone. Sounds grim unless I can try odin on a different computer (maybe that would make a difference) or I can adb push files to my internal storage from recovery.
Do you still have the my rom on there and have you tried to reflash it?
If not try that and then put one of the kernels from the last link on your phone and flash that first then flash the rom you are trying to get to. I am assuming that you are not trying to flash to the CM7 rom because that has a few steps just to get ready to flash.
EDIT; If you are able to reflash SimplyGalaxy2.3 let me know and we can go from there to get you back to where you want. Also which rom are you trying to flash to.
Having trouble with the Radio for GB... i cannot get the phone past the HTC quietly brilliant, I have tried taking the battery out and then restarting but when I boot into recovery it tries to update the radio and then restarts to the quietly brilliant screen
To make it stop trying to flash in the bootloader you need to take the sd card out of the phone and use a card reader on a PC to delete or rename the PG05IMG.zip that is on the sd card. I dont know about the phone not booting. But once you remove that file you can select recovery in bootloader to get to CWR.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Don't forget most of the GB roms tell you to flash the rom first then the radio.
Flash rom
Don't boot into it. Adb reboot or batt pull
Hboot radio
Reboot normally
use adb to boot into recovery
adb reboot recovery
help
ok this might be a noob question by i am trying to update my radio and i went into my sd card delated the old one and tryed to install the new one idk if any thing happend tell me if i did someting wrong and what i can do to fix it
com.android.phone force close on Das Bamf 2.0.5
I am having a problem with com.android.phone force closing and then taking a while to turn back on while using Das Bamf 2.0.5. only to fc again.
I have installed the GB radios (not using CWR or ROM Manager) only hboot, checked the MD5 on both files, all good there. factory reseted my device countless times which it then works for a little bit until the fc starts again.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
This was also happening on 2.0.4.01

Just like JBO1018 mentioned take the sd card out and then you should be able to get to recovery by holding down the volume - button and power and then selcet recovery with the volume key and select using the power button. From there you should be able to do a factory reset which should fix your issue of not booting.
Also, if you have another way to connect your sd card to your PC rename or delete the PG05IMG file.
I cant get CWM or anything else to boot from my sd card anymore! I had CM7 running and used the NT format command to start from scratch and install new things fresh-like, (curious noob move, yes.) upon restart i get the "n" symbol on the screen, then a pic of the box from CWM, and it just hangs. all i get is pic of box. i tried booting cwm from my sdcard and it just wont do it. i also tried the CM7 bootable from sdcard, which also did not boot. i cant get factory restore or adb or anything working. can anyone help me? i learn very fast! Thank you. i am cursed with noob. noob curse. yup.
So what exactly did you do to cause all this? Format your SD card?
Something to try

You might try from powered down state, hold N and power till NT powers on and then off. Place your boot cwm sdcard in slot. Plug power cable into nook then into computer usb. This will auto power on your nook so don't touch anything till after boot. Let the usb connection handle the power on for you.
good luck!

Thanks for the reply! another thread seems like it might have the answer for me. "veronica" is planning on creating a video tutorial for my problem. Ill check back if i find progress.

Since FuHu has removed the updates for the nabi2 ant otheres probably,i decided to give it a whir myself. I installed twrp 2.2.,went through some setting and in doping so somehow i have deleted the OD on the tablet. I searched and found the stock rom for the nabi2-nv7, put it on a sd card, put the sd card in, and wouldnt ya know it the version of twrp i had wouldnt read the card. I downloaded vers 2.8 and installed it, everything seeemed to be ok untill i went to slid the button to install, it wouldnt move. I rebooted, then went back into twrp once more with hopes, no deal, slider stil wouldnt work. After doing more reading I downloaded twrp 2.6 and that one was supposed to work, installed it, nowi have next to nothing. Without being plugged in to power, i can get to this screen,but anything i select will no work. Now if i plug the tablet into power, it automaticall goes into screen #2 still with no being ablee to get into anything.
Screen#1
boot normally
fastboot protocol
recovery kernal
forced recovery
Screen #2
bootloader
continue
reboot-bootloader
reboot
power off
It just keep fliping back and forth betwen thos 2 screens,it shows connected on my laptop,but try to do anything ( adb devices ) and it says no device connected..
Im thinking that the twrp's are working against one another and has meloced out in some way or another, is there any way i can wipe it all clean and start from scratch?
Any and all help is appreciated. also read wher xda has a toolkit for the nabi2, searched but not really sure what im looking for.
Thank you
