Thanks for your reply. Ok i was rooting two phones one with succes and the other Iam stuck in a bootloop. I used Z4root 1.30 to root . Installed rom manager etc. Made a copy of the system. But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?
Ps Is there a way that i can access the internal phone memory to put a new rom to flash to?

odin back to stock re root and flash again. Have you tried using the toolbox?

So you CAN enter Recovery Mode? If Yes, you can try to flash another rom, or factory reset it, which usually works. If that doesn't work theres 1 more thing to try and this will work.
Download mode.
Odin.
Stock JFD
Off you go to flashing 600 more roms daily

Tried to install CM7 on my Vibrant 2.2 Rooted using Superoneclick method - Phone has superuser, Busybox, rom manager premium. I tried to flash clockwork recovery...
Clicked on Rom Manager
Clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Tried both Galaxy S Vibrant and Vibrant (MTD) options (seperately)
current recovery showed both versions after each flash and reboot
Clicked reboot into recovery
Phone boots into stock recovery
Tried reinstall packages like 5 times after each flash
always get signature verification errors
Im stuck here.. Could not figure out how to get past this issue
Any help greatly appreciated!
Only flash cwm recovery mtd 2.xxx since you're going from froyo to cm7.
Flash the recovery again, reboot into recovery, reinstall package, wipe data, reboot......sometimes this worked when I had issues a while ago.
Please back up everything before you flash...
I have just learned that I have the Stock 3e recovery on my phone... I have read that on the I9000 that you have to flash a new kernal... Im not sure if this is my problem, but last time I did this I bricked my phone where it would not power at ALL
On your phone, go to settings, applications, development, is debugging checked?

Thats the exact Thread I was using before
1. Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Flash Recovery.
3. Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4. Accept the Superuser prompt.
5. On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6. Watch the backup go!
After step 5 It always says signature verification failed, no matter how man times i click it or reboot phone
Even if I force reboot by holding all three buttons or reboot into recovery from rom managers menu it does this
Have you heard of this 3e recovery not working and only 2e works

if u want to install cm7 on ur phone its really quite easy! odin back to stock 2.1 as 2.1 is easier to root then froyo. Once ur at 2.1 root the eclair method by installing the update package twice and the second time it should turn green. Now go into Rom manager premium it wont u download the cm7 nightlies if ur on 2x! Pick Vibrantmtd and pick 3x not 2x. then when thats done go into downloads and download the newest cm7 nightlie which is 33#. For ur first nightlie always choose all three! Wipe data, wipe dalvik, backup rom. Then when u move on to #34 u only have to pick the 2-wipe dalvik and backup rom. As its always good to wipe data on ur first cm7 nightlie. With rom manager premium its as easy as 1.2,3

Lol Tried this when I had to flash back to stock after I soft bricked my phone... For some reason, every time I tried to root it again it would always tell me I was already rooted, but would not let me actually reinstall the packages... I tried the update.zip method and the superoneclick with both exploits. Its like even if I wipe it something gets stuck behind..

Was it the same software that you flashed? cause the Eugene software in your link always puts the I9000 software on it... Its a Vibrant(SGH-T959) and the boot screen changed to I9000 and it wouldnt boot past that when I flashed it with yours.

very simple, if you have already done the "flash CWM" via Rom Manager, then you should have an update.zip file in your root. Odin back to stock and hit reinstall packages. It should reboot into recovery. Hit reinstall packages again and you should have green clockwork..
OR
You can try to flash a stock + voodoo kernel via Odin as well.

Hi all
Tonight I decided to buy that little usb jig and flash the lite'ning rom v5 for first time.
Okay things started alright..
Downloaded lite'ning rom v5 followed the guide, and flashed it via Odin v1.85.
Phone booted as it should, I noticed that all my apps and messages was still there, oh well (I come from custom x10i roms) I decided to go into recovery and did wipe data/ reset. Thought it would wipe the stuff there.
Then it startet to bootloop when I rebooted it.. Hmm funny, I tried to flash lite'ning v5 again but still bootloop. Then I found a guide how to get back on stock software with odin, I downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
The danish vesion + stock kernel flashed both.
Still bootlooped.
Hm The guide mentioned that I could try the villainrom v1.1 I did that and I got into the phone atlast!.
Ok then I tried to flash the stock software again from there boot loop again.. And now im back on villainrom :s seems like every thing I flash exept the villainrom I get bootloops. Even stock software? wtf ?
Could anyone please explain to me how I get the lite'ning rom v5 installed correctly without getting into bootloop.
And I found another guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499&highlight=loop
I followed it 100% thats where I got the villainrom from btw.. Seems like its the only way I'm able to use my phone right now :s ?
So please anyone could you give me a hint on what I should do to fix this mess i've made..
Thanks,

You have to clear the flash counter with a jig to be able to update using kies again. I did anyway. I had a similar bootloop problem myself. I fixed it by flashing to a stock firmware with odin, making sure to flash something for phone, pda and csc. I figured that maybe something from lightning ROM was left over and causing incompatibilities. This may not be the reason but the solution worked for me.
For lite'ning rom you cannot do wipe userdata (reset) using Clockwork Recovery. It wipes out something that is required to boot the rom. There is something missing from lite'ning rom that cannot use an empty userdata partition.
To be able to exit boot loop, you will have to go to download mode, flash a stock kernel, boot into samsung recovery, then do a factory reset.
It should boot right in. Then go back to download mode, then flash the latest speedmod kernel. Since there is already data in the userdata partition, it will not boot loop unless you use clockwork recovery to wipe userdata (factory reset).
If that doesn't work, then you will have to goto download mode, reflash a stock rom, goto samsung recovery, do a factory reset, boot into the rom, which will then put stuff back into the userdata partition, then go back to download mode, and reflash lite'ning rom.
It is weird, but all stock rom, and stock rom derivatives will get the boot loop issue when you use clockwork recovery to wipe userdata partition. So far, the only rom that does not have this issue with clockwork recovery wipe userdata function is CM7 and Devnull.
The problem in my view is not the rom's problem, but more of the kernel problem. It is missing a script to rebuild empty userdata.
Do this to get rid of a boot loop.
1) Flash a stock ROM via ODIN
2) Go into stock recovery, do factory reset
3) Re-flash stock ROM via ODIN.

Follow 3 simple steps to get Lite'ning Rom 5 working as its supposed to:
1 - Download and Flash Lite'ning Rom 5 via odin as normal.
2 - Download and Flash the Ninphetamine-2.0.5 Kernel from the link bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814
If you download the TAR file, you need to flash it via ODIN, or if you download the ZIP file, you need to flash it via RECOVERY.
3 - Go into recovery and do a full wipe and restart the phone.
Start enjoying Lite'ning Rom 5 without any bootloops what so ever.
Its a real pitty Lite'ning Rom Dev didnt even bother mentioning this on his main page, knowing that this bootloop issue comes with his rom.
kwazyivan - Thanks
I just did what you said. Seems to run smooth
I wonder if its possible to remove the social hub and gamehub and that samsung stuff? I never use it anyways.
Also I have another question, I come from the x10i custom roms. How come the FPS cap isnt removed in the custom kernels? Not that it matters Phone is fast as hell anyways, just wondering
I hope this explains it

The hubs in the system, doesnt cause any slowdowns or extra ram usage from my experience but if you want to remove them you can always download Titanium Backup from the Market, once you start the TB app go to Backup/Restore, from the list of installed apps, tap on any program and choose the Uninstall option that you wish to remove permanently.
The screen has a refresh rate of 60, so even if the cap is removed it would be completely pointless as the framerate would still be 60 for any graphics app such as games and benchmarks, again in my opinion 60fps is all we need to see smooth rendering graphics, anything more than that is just to satisfy our own greed and hunger for power.
Thanks alot man, explains my questions !

Sure mate, No problem
Hey, this is my first post so be easy!
I rooted my One X a while back and it has been fine and only now I decided to install a ROM.
I went for Cyanogenmod 9 and followed the instructions to install it on my phone.
IT went smoothly and runs okay as far as I can tell apart from Recovery Mode.
Everytime I go to boot into recovery it just starts the phone as usual. It doesn't get stuck on the boot screen or anything, it starts just like normal but it doesn't start in recovery!
I have tried doing to through the Power + Volume Down method and through CLockworkMod app, no luck.
I have also tried to reflash Recovry but it still doesn't start.
This is frustrating as I can't even restore my phone to an earlier backup due to this.
Any ideas??
Cheers!
Try using ADB. The code is
su
reboot recovery
Sent from my Optimus Me using xda premium
Sorry for my complete 'noobness' but whats that adb?
Cheers
ADB is short of android debug bridge. It comes with the android sdk.You can google it. Once ypu install the sdk you can google how to set up and use adb.Also don't forget to put ypur phone in debugging mod via Settings> Application>Developmemt
Sent from my Optimus Me using xda premium
I have tried that, using adb reboot reovery, and it will doesn't load. Just boots the phone like normal. :/

befoure u flash a new bootimage go to recovery and whipe data/cache afterwards it should work
if this doesnt work try the bootloader
I had an costume ROM installed, but at one point, while trying to change the recovery it bricked, and I just received errors like "Messenger has stopped" for every sing app (even system) and the screen all blacked, then I reinstalled the costume ROM again, but it got worse, cause I could only see a black screen, and had to remove the battery. So I decided to go back to the original recovery and installed the original, official ROM, and when I installed it appeared "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" every second, so I wiped the data in the original recovery mode and it worked, but now it appears the message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it asks to restart my phone, that message is appeared all the time too. How do I get rid of it?
And the boot when i turn the device on is still the one from the ROM Note 7 style (white), how do I change that to?
If you still have TWRP installed you can try this method to change boot logo.
For the other problem try to use your last working backup, if it won't work - wipe everything and then flash original image throught Odin.

I guess, I will need to install TWRP again, and do that to change the boot logo;
I never had a backup, so should I wipe everything again (In TWRP?) And then install the original ROM throught Odin again?
To be sure wipe everything including internal storage - recovery and download mode will remain, everything else will be lost so make a backup of important files. Download latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin (search for SamFirm on xda to download faster). That should do the work.

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
