Help... Hangs at green "HTC" screen on startup
As per an earlier poster (Malkrae) I performed all steps as detailed (including installing linked Android ROM) but on bootup phone hangs at green "HTC" logo.
Every other part of the installation worked a treat in accordance with OPs instructions.
Help..?! Please!
UPDATE: Disregard - after approximately 55 minutes it finally booted! Now boots in normal time. To the OP: You sir, are a frickin' god. Many thanks for your time & efforts.
That micro sd use? If I put in a 8GB Class 4 wp7 going well, but android very slow, and if I put in a 4GB Class 2 android is going very well, very fast but is slow wp7.
Great Work bro

This is probably a stupid question, but wich is the link for the android build?
Job well done
Good work man, we've waited like this post...
in fact,time is the only factor that will prove the combination of both OS (WM and Android) are a must on the same device.

Press and Hold the volume down key then push the reset button. When you see the tricolored screen, you can re-flash to a new ROM from there... just by launching a new flash.
thanks for responding yea i tried that i even reinstalled the energy rom but it still wont go past the splash
try flashing from you sd card, search flashing from sd card or something like that. I belive you have to format it in 32 mode and then take the rom "raphimg.nbh"(not exact spelling or proper spelling I beleive some of that has to be in capitals) sorry to here your phone is down. Try that and post your results.
Format the card FAT32. Place a rom on the card & rename the rom to RAPHIMG.nbh.
Put the SD Card in the slot & hold volume down & reset. Press the power button when instructed to do so on the screen.
thanks guys for ur help but i keep getting no image file then it says serial i formated the card and everything

Try a different microSD. Also be sure that you did a full format not a quick format. I had an issue with a few microSD cards, but I like my 2GB PNY for flashing my phone via microSD.
I had the exact same issue after flashing the latest energy 3 rom
heres what i did
1. Reflashed Hard SPL
2. Flashed a stock HTC ROM, i managed to do this from my PC by manually entering the bootloader.
3. Did a hard reset
4. Let phone complete initial setup
5. Reflashed Hard SPL - Read somewhere that sock roms may overwrite \ partially overwrite Hard SPL
6. Flashed an Energy 2 ROM (only cause i wanted to check something out in it anyway)
So far its all looking good

good to see you back, ive had similar issues with a my 16GB and 8GB aswell a few times i think its due to some corruption beeing made to the filesystem when we disconnect it to soon form the pc (using it as disc-drive) thats kinda the same thing that happens when u disconnect a usb-harddrive in windows while its in use by windows and tries to connect it with linux.
a really good disc-repair tool i stumbled upon is located here
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
and just to make sure its done right as gsleon3 said, do as he said and make sure that you take the you take the ruu_signed.nbh and rename that to raphimg.nbh (not sure if it has to be in CAPS, im pretty sure ive done it like this RAPHimg.nbh lots of time)
...monx, it would be great to have you back cooking wonderful stew

Good
But can you post how you did it. I'm not fully convinced. Did you do it using bootloader or any tools from bootup? If not then maybe you post this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544965 . So that the tread can be managed well.

Video proof?
Actually a new thread would be a good idea, the other one isnt updated on the first post, so its harder to keep track of anything new whithout reading a dozen pages...
The FAQ from blaz.andrejcic is very good, but its not mentioned on the first post, so we can only get there if we noticed it on his sig.
Does the cold boot version inhance the speed or has less bugs?
Sorry to ask, but I'd only consider that rom if the OS would work as good as in a android device. :/
Okay guys I rewrote a new bootloader and as i said I bought a new niki just for that purpose and i cant actually flash back to wm6 again coz of the new bootloader i had to write but im actually jotting down the info on how i did it and its quite along process but guys it not yet 100% full proof thats why i dont wanna upload the rom otherwise it will render your niki useless so guys give me 2 weeks and u will have what u need but i still have one problem and the thing keeps on droping calls each and everytime and i still need to figure out what the problem is.At the moment im in process of reversing the process of the bootloader so u can be able to flash willy nilly so check this thread Saturday morning for Pics and the Info

Definalty, im very interested in an Android cold boot on the Niki and donating! Obviously like you say you need to iron out a few wrinkles before you go public but could you comment on what currently works/what doesn't (i.e. does the camera work?)
Looking forward to any update!
To be honest I'd be more interested in a dual boot solution...
Specially since there is no fully working android build for our machines.
dual boot
actually, i believe in twolf. i would love to see it dual boot.
and i wont sacrifice my niki just to try this stuff. i would suggest a boot loader that wil boot from internal storage (wm) and micro sd(android). what do you think?

If all this is real, probably what works is the same as what works now, booting from WinMo. When you boot from WinMo, it does not run within WinMo, HaRET loads Linux fully, just as a cold boot solution would. Only difference in my eyes would be that you will not have to wait for WinMo to boot and then load HaRET, you can boot linux directly.
Unless he's also been working on the linux-kernel and modules ofcourse.
Soooo...unless it brings less bugs or more speed, a link to haret on the \windows\startup folder is still the best option?
:/
Win CE + Haret.exe + Android
The better idea is to cook a rom that strip out uneeded feature and strip it down to the core part or Just Windows CE maybe. Then create a command line version of haret that can recieve parameters to boot. something like "haret.exe -file default.txt" then put it in windows\startup folder or in the registry. In this case you wont have a problem with WinMo OS. I been thinking of this before but i don't have knowledge how to do it.
But the fact that niki still dont have fully working android, we still need have to think twice before dealing with cold booting android in out beloved Niki.
It's been 2 weeks
So, I have been waiting patiently for over 2 weeks
Is this thing real?
Is it working?
anyone came up with a way just to load winCE core and then Android? instead of full WinMo?
just FAKE.
Real or not, If it didnt had a dual boot, not many ppl would like to be stuck with a buggy android-only OS.
but its difficult to have dual boot on nike, there are few avaible memory for both ROMs, so they should be very light versions of both OS. Other option is one running on the phone meory and the other on the SD
I think the correct way is to solve those bugs and have an usable android(I prefer it instead of WM)
Hey,
I have a huge problem, people.
I've had some issues with one of the ROMs that I tested, so decided to restore my Nandroid Backup. I've wiped everything and runned the Nandroid Restore of my previous - working ROM (EzHero 1.2.1) - everything looked as if it worked fine, the operation was completed succesfully. So, given that I've chosen reboot phone option in the Recovery (AmonRa 1.6.2) and it turned on with a regular booting screen and just stuck on it. It's been like 2hrs and I'm constantly stuck on this "loading" screen and cannot turn the mobile off either by holding Power or Power Home or Power Home Back. Nothing. I don't wanna take the battery out as I heard that it can be devastating.
So, to clarify all of that, I have a phone connected via cable (yet no connection through ADB) to PC, so the battery would not discharge and the phone itself is stuck on booting logo/animation, the one just before it goes into the usual desktop screen.
How can I go about it to restore it?
Thanks!
Do you have App2SD ?? If yes it may took ages to boot when you do a first boot... But that only works if you had done a Nandroid + Ext...
Its fine to take your battery out,... Reset and give it another try at booting. If it fails again, try booting without SD in. If it fails again, try doing another restore of your nandroid. Fail again,... Full wipe then reflash ROM.
There is only risk of bricking when flashing a new radio and interrupting the process.

I do have apps2sd but haven't done +Ext.
When I soft-reseted the device it obviously went into boot loop again BUT I have managed to connect it to my PC through ADB now and wonder if I could use it to my advantage?

The problem is my phone IS stuck at boot loop and even if I soft reset it I don't have enough time to press POWER and HOME to go into Recovery so I cannot check if I could do restore. Would connection through ADB help as I currently after soft reset have it?
I have to clear something up my phone is in the boot loop but not as in that it reboots itself time after time - NO! It just sticks on the booting animation and that's it.
Oh, and running this "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img" through ADB just sits stuck at "< waiting for the device >" though I _can_ list the contents of my Hero through shell.
Also when I press vol up or vol down in the state with startup screen beeing stuck I can hear it same way as if I heard it in the working phone - as in beeping when pressing up and beeping lower when down.
I'm not so clued up on fastboot commands to be honest.
Take your battery out,... Hold HOME and put your battery back in..... KEEPING HOME HELD IN
OK! Finally after finding enough courage to do so I pulled the battery out as ddotpatel advised me to - I have to say it was scary 30s, real scary. Anyway, it seemed that his advice was correct and he is in fact a very wise man - THANK YOU! Afterwards I've done all the wipes again as I did initially and instead of trying to recover it from my Nandroid backup I just gave up and reflashed it again. It didn't work, so I reformated and repartitioned the SD card and it's all good now... And I'm a happy puppy! Actually, I'm no puppy at all but I am happy nonetheless.
@ddotpatel Thank you sir! You are a Gentleman and a Scholar and I shall praise your name forever on this and other Android forums alike. ^__^ Just a quick question though: removing a battery is prohibited only when flashing radio and when the phone's on the "phone & a box/arrow" picture, right? So if I ever have an booting/issue error whilst flashing custom ROMs that do nothing to the radio I should be fine poping the battery?
I know I sad it trice already but - ddotpatel, sir, THANK YOU!

so she bought a new phone without even powering it on.. she came to my house and later said it was stuck on a boot up image that read team whiskey, im no phone buff so i have no idea what going on. i put out a help post on craigslist and i was referred here for help..
so please let me know whats going on with this
BTW its a samsung vibrant
Awesome. At least she made the right choice in purchasing the phone from someone who used the right ROM.
What you're going to need to do is either get the phone into Recovery Mode or ODIN back to stock.
I'm guessing you will need to ODIN back to stock as it's stuck on the boot screen. Do a search in the Development forum and look for the latest ODIN package where it includes the ODIN program and the necessary files to bring the phone back to stock (.tar, .pit, etc.)
There are walkthroughs on how to run the program as well.
If it says Team Whiskey then it probably has the newest Bionix ROM. One of the best to have on it. If it is the first boot after the cache is cleared it can take 10 minutes for it's first boot to rebuild the cache. If it is the first boot after the ROM was flashed you should wait a full ten minutes for the ROM to complete its initial setup and then reboot it. Since you don't know I would wait anyhow, it can not hurt. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE DURING THESE INITIAL TEN MINUTES OR IT WILL BE BUGGY.

However, if its stuck at boot as the OP stated, then Odin to stock is probably going to be his best bet. The third link that was posted by T313C0mun1s7 is the place to start.
You have some work to do OP, you're best bet is to Odin back to stock, and you will find the resources needed in the Vibrant Bible linked above. Good luck.
Bottom line Franky is this:
It's not un-fixable. The posters here are correct in that if you can see the logo you're seeing, then it's more than likely fully recoverable and can be a great phone. The post here that has provided you links is a very good one. Best thing you can do is read all the "noob" guides/FAQ/bible threads that are stickied to the top of most of the categories in the Vibrant section. They contain a TON of useful info. If you can use a PC and have the correct USB cable, you can get it done.
And if you do get it back up and running, and she got a deal on it, she might not be so stupid after all!
A quick background for you on terms and what's what since you are not familar with the phone
The Vibrant was originally sold with a software operating system Android 2.1 The version of that system was JFD which, the letters are code for version and release date. So, when you read all the numbers/letters they are talking about newer versions... the latest and greatest.
I would 1st try turning on the phone and let it sit for 10-15 min and see if the previous person did not complete the installation process. If it goes to the home screen, then you are good to go. If not, then you will need to Odin back to stock.
If you can see a logo, the the phone will respond to software via Odin. Odin is a software you load on your desktop computer , it opens a menu that kinda looks like an custom excel sheet. In the upper left corner when you plug in the phone to connect to the desktop with Odin already open,it will say com 0 , com8 or something what it reads out is less important what is important is it recognizes the phone. From there the noob guide will explain everything else.
This is a super phone, especially because you can modify it so easily and it is REAL hard to permanently brick (permanently break). Read the bible and members S15274N noob guide......... his sticky in general is pretty complete and very easy to understand. If you get stuck come back to the forum and we will help you solve. Good luck
In the Noob guide it will have the drivers Odin and the other utilities you will need.
odin back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
How much did she pay for it? If it was like $500 +, then yea, that was really stupid but if she got it for under $150 because it was supposedly "broken", then she had unintentionally made a smart buy. The seller would've been the stupid one for not researching on how to revive their Vibrant.
Send me a PM and I'll be glad to help!!

thanks to all you guys
but i think this phone has taken a turn for the worse,
i was away for the day visiting my son, so i was not able to try and repair the phone..
well i came home to see this dumb bi**ch standing with the phone..
apparently she had her brother try and repair it and now it wont even show the team whiskey logo. all it does is show the vibrant/samsung image then it shuts off and repeat over and over
if anyone here is near anaheim california i'd gladly appreciate any help from you
This phone is really resilient, and if you're still getting images on the screen, you can still fix it. The trick is to get it into download mode, which can be hit or miss, and may take several tries. There are different methods posted around the internet, but for mine, I hold the vol+ and vol- and then plug in the usb cable connected to the computer. If it goes into download mode, then you're home free. Once you Odin it back to stock, you can go anywhere from there.

That's good! The phone is fixable. (However i don't believe your story even a little). But if I'm wrong. Follow the advice given and you will be OK.

One and only one thing comes to mind. You must continue to charge when you boot this even if your battery is 100%. Use power cord to turn on NT and keep it powered for the entire time. It (ubuntu) freaks without power and shuts down!
I hope this is your problem if not please tell more including which NT 8 or 16 gig, etc.
Good luck!

um, i know you're all stressed out, we've all been there ( me too ), but the guy above me is right. . . plz give us more information. . if it won't boot internal, will it boot boot something up on the external sd card ?
at some point, my nook just didnt start up, it went into the "restart your nook" scree
it boots from sd. and after i installed cyanogenmod 9 again, it didnt boot into it
i tried something else and i got this:
booti: bad boot image magic (in memory)
are you a 8GB or a 16 GB unit ?
is it true you are installing cm9 internal ?
you try to fix and now the internal is corrupt ?
16, and i dont know what happend, the onlything i know is i tried to reinstall cm9 back on

ah, the the senior devs in the dev area who created this cm9 -- made it a 'Cinderella rom', ie. it flat quits working on purpose. . they did it because some evil guys were selling the alpha code as a finished product. . so all people who run the cm9 rom have to go back and install the next cm9 version from their post...
installed alpha 3. didnt do anything. still "please restart your device"
i wiped all of the data on every partion, then installed cyanogenmod 9
still does it

if ( and a very big "if", ie. do not assume ) your partitions are corrupt ( from a past step gone bad ) then you have to go thru the partition re-build step ( in the dev area ) . . but can you boot up in ubuntu and examine your partitions first - see what shape they're in ?

OF if you can help this person then please do. I have had another stroke and am very scrambled. I tried to put it together several times but as you have seen I just can't finish what I started.
I had a friend send this message for me.
Thanks!

i do not have the experience to help with a corrupt partition. ( if it is a corrupt one ) . i have not had to fix / repair a corruption on my unit . . i was lucky that the adam outler restore ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910 ) fixed mine and it went back to a factory boot-up . . my thought is that your NT is not corrupted because the boot is working . . the boot just fails to load the next piece . . ( i took some time and read over the 'partition repair' posts and they scared the hell out of me ! . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605664&highlight=damaged+partition+table ) my advice is to not re-format. do not re-partition. the senior people see the new people dive into un-necessary ( wrong ) steps way too early / often. . the senior people say they see 'relatively easy' fixes turned into a mess. . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635116
.
if the steps seem too much or are going nowhere... . do you have a large B&N store in your area ?

from notes – safe nt recovery with cm7 sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
make cm7 sdcard boot and setup.
install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630
Nook Recovery Flasher.apk
Run Nook Tab Recovery Flasher and select Install Stock Recovery, exit program.
Power off. Remove sdcard.
Press power and n key and hold 2 seconds after screen is lit. Release power.
After 1 second longer release n and you should get data reset. Press n key twice to accept.
If lucky your trouble will be cleared if not then hard reset.
Power off. Remove sdcard if installed. Hold power and n till screen lit and continue to hold till screen goes black. Do this eight times. Ninth time use power as normal and when you see recovery press n key twice to accept full factory reset.
Good Luck!
