Hi guys.
i installed Launcher Pro Plus 0.8.5 for Galaxy S by mistake on my Galaxy Ace.
First the phone was laggy about 5 seconds, then rebooted itself and i'm a stuck at "samsung" screen. Phone just vibrates, but won't boot. I removed battery a tried to start it again, same issue....passes boot animation, but then bootloops.
could anyone help me please?
the phone is 2 days old from orange store.
This is pretty critical, i need to get it working till sunday.
But i don't want to lose warranty. I can enter download mode atm.
Could anyone please help me?
how do i remove that app from my phone, when cannot boot?
i tried to search samfirmware, that i would ODIN stock rom, but i don't know my PDA key - i cannot select the best PDA key.
I am from Slovakia, phone bought in slovakian store, if anyone could give me correct PDA.
thank you guys
Wait.. Isn't LauncherPro an universal app? I mean how could you say its SGS specific when anybody with different phones can download it from the same place?
That aside, since the download mode are OK, you can just try to re-flash your current ROM.
The warranty will be void only if you root it or put different ROM into your phone.
If this helped you, would you mind pressing that lil thanks button below?
Why Dont you try entering in recovery mode and do a wipe data/factory reset to enter recovery press home key + pwr on key, you mevo trough options with volume keys and select wit home button jus select wipe data/factory reset
i just wiped data..i was trying volume up + home key + power button, like on SGS.
well with that launcher pro....i guess it will be other version for ace...sure you can download it from market, but i think it's some different build or something.
anyways, wiping data/factory reset solved this issue for me..
thank you guys!
i personaly would root the phone in first 30 minutes i get it, install some cool custom rom and enjoy the power of the phone, like i did on SGS, but it is my GFs phone..she almost killed me when this happened
wipe is more than enough to reset. and i can't help myself stop thinking people on xda abuse all this flashing thing - it's everybody's solution for every problem - RE-flash. NO NEED to reflash if you haven't rooted/flashed your phone before - flashing just voids your warranty in this case. and it ain't only topic affected...
sorry for being picky, but i'm in exactly same shoes here - i've been doing whatever with my SGS, but my missus's ACE is no go (until good rom comes ) - so i can imagine being given advise to flash, because i got bootloop... bit silly...
some sort of noobs guide/tutorial topic from OP/someone respected e.g. devs regarding whole flashing idea would be beneficial for many,many people. it's my opinion only. thanks

Hi,
I have a problem with my Galaxy SII. But first a little background: I bought it used, the guy i bought if from said the OS is broken, because it requested password to unlock the screen, even when he never set up one (he just installed custom OS and it happened). It was a little weird, that it unlocked itself when I pressed a menu button couple of times. So, the first thing i did was wipe all data and settings, but it didn't helped. Than I installed different karnel and ROM, but it only made things worse: now there is no chance of unlocking it (repetitive pressing menu button does not help any more). So I installed a new karnel/ ROM AGAIN, and it's all the same. Any ideas how to fix it?

I dont think the OS was broken as passwords dont just make themselves by accident.I think maybe it was found or stolen(no harm intended).As for the home button i would imagine it was because the ROM installed had the Double-Click funtion set.Best option is to format System/Data/Cache and flash a stock F/W and hope all goes well.Sometimes a password cant be changed if dont know what it is....even after a flash but I hope it all goes well anyway.
EDIT:After the stock F/W,flash a full wipe ROM also to make sure it gets a good clean up.
hi i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100. i am from singapore (if region matters). i updated to the official DXLP9 4.0.3 whatchamacallit version (via the automatic update service) less than a week ago, but i didnt like it for various reasons, of which a very unsatisfactory battery life was the one i couldnt stand the most.
so i went to flash the DXKL3 2.3.6 stock rom (with odin 1.85) as i thought it would be enough to revert my phone back to the old version.
BUT i was grossly wrong. my phone now hangs at the start-up screen, and ONLY at the start-up screen. and by startup screen, i mean a black screen with white text saying "galaxy s2 gti9100" on it.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS WRONG somebody please help me. :/
i suppose its bricked? so is there any way i can get it working again? preferably without wiping my data please.
i apologise if im breaking rules or anything by doing this but im really really desperate for my phone to work again so please help/make an exception or somehing thank you very much and in advance to any kind soul who responds.
Did u wipe ur phone before flashing it n after flashing??? try this may b this will work first wipe ur cell than flash GB through Odin
ics to GB without data wipe, don't think so

OK you can try to go into recovery if you are root by pressing volume up+home+power key , if you aren't and install other rom via recovery, if you aren't root you can go into download mood by pressing volume down+home+power key and also flash another rom using Odin
I think it may be soft brick because your phone responded to the power key and show you start up screen
Best regards

I just changed roms from Ice Cream Zenwich rc1.8.5 to MIUI 2.3.30. I was trying to get a custom version of MIUI (without the Chinese language) just for my personal well being. I ****ed up bad by not wiping data and clearing the other stuff. I attempted to flash right away and in the process of installing my batter fell out. (I have no back)
My phone turned off and it is stuck in some sort of install booting loop. I cant get into download mode or recovery mode. Odin will not read my device because of this and i cant really do anything.
I am lost at this point. Usually I can get the help i need on XDA but i just haven't found anything. If there is any way to get my phone out of this state please help me.

Hey! I believe I know of the "instal booting loop" which you are referring to. (I know this might seem like a rather silly question, however it's worth asking I believe) Have you by any chance tried removing your battery, and then holding the volume down + the power button, and then when the screen comes on, letting go of the power button while still holding the volume down button? The loop that you're referring to grants a SHORT window to enter recovery...I know because I've had this happen and it's not long before the phone auto reboots without entering recovery. The trick is to have the volume down button held down even before touching the power button so that the second you press down the power, your hitting the correct combo.
Aside from this, however....you really shouldn't flash down from ICS to GB without first returning to stock via Odin. That's bad juju my friend.
But hey, if this doesn't work, come back and let us know and we can troubleshoot. I know that my answer sounds obvious, but if what you're referring to is what I believe you are referring to...it's easy to think that you can't get into recovery, when in actuality, you can as long as you're approaching it a specific way.
I love you!

Hey,
I have a Samsung S2 (Korean Version) which was working fine. Since, it is being used by my younger brother for games etc. He informed me one day that the phone is not getting started. I checked the phone, switched it on and as it displayed Samsung SII logo and jumped straight away to recovery mode.
Resultantly, i installed AOKP rom using CWM recovery. The phone started and was working fine until restarted. On restart the phone again goes to recovery mode instead of loading the Rom.
Can anyone help me in fixing this ??
I refuse to help lazy people who insist on using such silly/generic topic titles like "Help Please" instead of using common sense and putting something relevant.
If you expect people to enter/read your topic and help instead of skipping or entering to leave remarks like mine I would recommend changing title to something useful for forum browsers.

did your rom could get into the operator interface after get in the CWM mode? if not ,try to install a new rom and back up your data,then wipe data cache and reinstall again. maybe your brother deleted some system files which make the system run regularly. therefore the phone jump to CWM when restart.

Dont worry, its not a big problem.
Press & hold POWER BUTTON + MENU BUTTON + VOLUME UP BUTTON for 5-10 seconds, then you will see something written in Korean language. Just ignore that and press VOLUME UP BUTTON. Then u will enter the boot menu. Use VOLUME KEYS to move up and down. and to SELECT something click on POWER BUTTON.
DO A BACKUP FIRST AND THE RESET UR PHONE.

Hi @javiwz, and welcome. Unfortunately you have posted in the wrong thread for your device, but the Mods will soon relocate it to the correct forum for the i9100.
In the meantime you should look here for help in returning your device to stock, then rooting > flashing new firmware. If your device won't get past the boot animation (assuming my interpretation of your issue is correct), then you would be perhaps best served in starting over from the beginning.

Hi Javi and welcome to XDA.....
So....your phone is stuck in bootloop.....
Don't panic fella....plenty of things to try.
First thing....you can try one of two types of data wipe.
1) cache wipe
2) data wipe (factory reset)
Both of these wipes are done in recovery.
How to get to recovery? If you don't already know, here's how.......
Turn the phone completely off.
Wait a few seconds then press and hold the Power, Home and Volume up keys together. When you see the samsung logo release ONLY the power button.
The phone will continue the boot into recovery.
Once in recovery, release the home and volume keys.
Then....
Use the volume keys to scroll down to 'wipe cache' and select that option with a press on the power button....and if you are asked to, confirm it.
Then try and boot your phone as normal.
If that doesn't work, go back in to recovery using the same method as before, but this time select 'wipe data' (factory reset).
I suggest the cache wipe as a first resort because it will leave all your apps installed, whereas the data wipe / factory reset will remove everything from apps to settings to passwords which will mean setting your device up again as if it was new.
