[Q] How to get out of Boot loop - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to install Revolution Rom 2.0(gingerbread) from a 2.2 rom(project v) and after flashing the gingerbread bootloaders using odin, I flashed the rom and kb5 modem though recovery. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I hear it say converting partition something or other and then it says not enough space.
I think I just soft bricked it since I can still get into download mode using the up volume key and power button and recovery using the volume down key. But it shows no files now in the root file and I can't see my back-ups.
I did save all folders in my root file on my computer just in case.
How do I get back to a working phone?

in order to get into download mode with gingerbread bootloaders yuo have to hold volume up and power
thanks button if i helpled

^ I'm pretty sure he knows that.
Anyway, you can just odin back to stock. Just follow s15274n's guide.

thank you very much phone successfully revived my phone with that hard reset
you can't get to the recovery or reset without turning it off first. if it don't wanna turn off just pull the battery then try again.
Little too slow in responding. very sorry about that.

now its working fine so how to root this version
check the ginger lol thread in development. It has instructions for rooting that should work.
shortcut to instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14590924&postcount=202
But there are probably easier ways i'd guess.
I think you should do it with GingerBreak, but I'm not sure.

apparently gingerbreak doesn't work (fc or something) so actually this is the easiest way to do it right now i think
Try this
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
for root. From adb. But you'll need to install the superuser app I think.

Remember, whenever you downgrade via KDZ, at last after disconnecting the phone. Always remember to perform the hard reset by the 3 button combo

[Q] How to use clockword mod recovery?

Hi! Whenever i try to flash a ROM i go into the Android one, not clockword mod recovery. Can someone give me a tutorial/help me? Thanks!
I'm assuming you already used Odin to put CWM on your phone?
You need to press the volume up/down keys + the power button all at the same time to get it to come up.

Sorry if this causes some work, but I never used Odin to put CWM in. A guide would be really nice, if you would spare the time.

Yes, i have installed Kies
Nvm, thanks i figured it out!

Is there a difference from doing it that way or just holding my power button down and selecting recovery?
No, but if you're stock I don't think you'll have that option. I suppose it depends on what you flashed to get CWM on your phone in the first place.
Thanks! I just got my phone and have unnamed so that option is there when i hold pwr button. Just wanted to make sure it was the same.

Hopefully Not Bricked!!!

I recently purchased an atrix from a friend that was already updated to 2.3.6 and i successfully rooted it. After that i was under the impression i needed to unlock the bootloader to be able to get a shiny new rom on it. I followed the instructions given by G-Man in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26956828#post26956828
Now all i get is a FAILED TO BOOT 0x1000 screen. Im afraid to do anything else from here and risk bricking and flushing a few hundred bucks down the toilet
Can i flash the official 4.5.141 sbf?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Edit: RESOLVED+Wrong area for post.
Sorry guys i apologize! :/
fisrt:u post in wrong place like this
second:u should go to general thread and find auto unlock bootloader to unlock,u are in softbrick now,that tool have softbrick repair so dont worry
sorry i think your phone hard brick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
Sorry for being a noob!
You're right... i apologize.
Yes i found it... thank you very much for the direction.
so have u unsoftbrick your phone?,that tool is very easy for us to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery
Yes i did, its an amazing tool!!
to get into CWM do i have to use a button combo or do i need to download rom manager?
Button combination is the safest way, and works every time.
I personally prefer not to use Rom Manager for anything other then replacing (Updating) the recovery. In many custom roms there is a possibility to reboot the device straight to recovery, in the reboot menu.
Enjoy

Here is an answer for the button combination.
As for a recommended rom, I am using now MorriSoft v1.0, but any CM7 based rom will do the job.
Have fun
Pshhhhhhh. Try Joker's CM9 if you can deal with the video cam and orientation issues. ICS is a joy over Gingerbread.

Getting closer to Rooting the tmobile galxy NOTE

SO i found out how to manually get into Stock recovery on the t mobile version of the galaxy note.
1) While the phone is on just hold down Volume Down + power button for 10-12 second
2) When you feel a light vibration release the power button while still holding down button, and then just hold volume up button as well
( both volume up and down at same time) hold until it show manual mode.
once her it give me the same stock recovery options.
apply update through external sd
apply update through cache
and some other options i don't remember
" what i did"
i tried to flash Superuser binaries by pressing apply update through external sd. It seemed like it was about to go through then it said error invalid signature. When i tried to reboot the screen went completely black and my heart stopped. SOOOOOOO i waited a minute and then just held the power button and it booted up again "PHEWWWWWW"
Just wanted to share my experience as it seems there are alot of people trying to find more info.
Maybe this will help someone get closer to cracking the puzzle
I should be sleeping, since I need to be up in 4 hours for work, but I can't sleep because it's too friggin hot.
Did you have it connected to a comp when you tried this? It should force it into download mode then instead of going to recovery. Theoretically, then it would be a matter of using Odin to push custom recovery and SU.
Unfortunately, it's too damn hot to even fire up my computer, or I would be working on this right now. Well, if nobody has managed to get it by morning, I'll try to work on it while at work.

If it is the torrent one it did not have superuser permissions. I couldn't even use titanium backup.

Get into recovery and flash this file in recovery, i got it from roto, here is his post on how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30081450&postcount=34
comfirmed root!
i can confirm that if you have nandroided rotohammers tmobile dump then all you have to do is download the root superuser file and put it somewhere in your sdcard and manually go back to cwm (powering off device and pressing power vol up and vol down once you feel the phone vibrate let go of the power button but keep holding vol up and vol down until you see the cwm screen) then find the file you downloaded earlier flash and once done reboot the phone. "walla" your rooted on att galaxy note with a full Tmobile stock rom.
I can confirm that the TMo Note is easily rooted, almost the exact same way as the ATT version.
These steps all assume you have rooted before and have ODIN installed on your computer. If you have never rooted and don't know what ODIN is, you will need to read up on both before attempting anything or risk bricking your phone. I, or any other member of XDA, am not responsible if you brick your device. Attempt at your own risk.
Step 1: Download Clockwork Recovery tar file found here, select ODIN at top of post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
Step 2: Download SU binaries (attached in this post)
Step 3: Open ODIN
Step 4: Connect usb to phone and computer
Step 5: Boot phone into download mode by pressing VOL DOWN+ POWER until phone goes blank and phone vibrates, then release POWER and hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP at same time. Once in download mode, select UP.
Step 6: In ODIN, select PDA and locate the recovery file. Then select Start.
When finished, close ODIN and copy the SU binary zip to the root directory of your internal phone storage.
Reboot into recovery by disconnecting phone from USB and following Step 5 above.
Install SU zip through CWR, you are now rooted. Reboot and update SU binary from app.
I know this can all be found elsewhere, I just wanted to place it in this thread for convenience

Yes, the USB cable does the trick. Found that out by accident myself after I didn't need to use Odin any more.

The at&t phone is put into recovery with the volume and power buttons, but the t-mobile phone needs the usb cable plugged in also to enter recovery.

No, you still need ODIN to install recovery for the rooting process. For that, you have to be in download mode on the phone, not recovery, and you can only get to download mode with the USB cable attached. I think my instructions in my earlier post may have confused some people. I'll have to clean it up later.

I've flashed CM9 & CM10 ROMS and none work. So hang tight on the stock ROM right now. Freeze all the crap with Titanium Backup. Its working well for me so far.
OK, Now that I got rooted, and got wifi tethering working....next step is to wait for a dev to make a rom for t-mobile.

Vol down and power is download mode. When doing either download mode or recovery you dont have to hold menu too, jusy the vol button and power.
