I tried to flash CM7 beta, and it wouldn't go past the glowing red motorola logo. (I waited for a good five minutes) I went back to CWM to restore my backup of rooted stock. It ran through the process fine, but now it is just bootlooping. I have done a factory/data reset as well as wiping the cache multiple times. I tried flashing an SBF, but the phone went into the bootloop during the process. Now I have a dead phone that won't boot. Can someone please give me direction?
I know your phone is rooted by what you said, but is your phone have an unlocked bootloader? Did you have the latest recovery also?

What I would suggest is to flash the J12 update through odin and see if that works. If that works, after boot up, go back and flash original rom back with odin and see if that helps. You should never click on repartition through odin because the instruction does not advise to do that when flashing a rom through odin. Hopefully you did not mess up your phone.
You probably need to follow 'eugenes froyo that doesn't brick' method. Do that first then odin to stock. Ind this should be posted in general or q&a

1) This should be in "Q & A" or at the very least "General".
2) What ROM were you using that you are flashing back from?
3) Did you have any "lag fixes" installed?

Make sure your flashing the stock JDF because the JI6 doesn't contain all of the files, and if that doesn't work flash the "froyo that does not brick rom" by eugene that is in the bible then flash the stock JFD rom

When it say wipe data it doesn't wipe the built in memory it just wipes the partition where the OS is installed. Make sure you don't have voodoo lag fixed installed or it will hang up every time, I have used this method about 6 times to unbrick and have never had an issue. I followed the instructions to the letter and it has worked perfectly every time, but I would need more info on what rom you are coming from and what lag fix or what you have installed if all fails try the above mentioned fix with froyo that does brick.

launch your phone into recovery mode and delete everything-cache and all user data. i reinstalled the packages and then rebooted the system. its working without any problems now.
Fixed it!
OK, i ran into this exact issue yesterday and fixed it. This is what I did.
First flash Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick with Odin.
Went through steps one and two. Don't worry about the sdk thing.
Now you should be in recovery mode. Pull the battery. Get back into download mode. Now flash, [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working). This got me out of trouble. I hope it works for you.
installing the froyo that dosent brick resolved my issue!
thank you for all your responses and help
Moved to Q&A
Anybody know where I can find this eugenes froyo that doesnt brick? Seems gino decided to remove the dl link for it n I checd his site but didnt c it, so im hoping theres like a mirror or maybe sum1 has it saved or something. Well anyway im able to flash the jk2froyo but it wont wipe data n then it wont let me dL any apps bcuz it says sorry not enough space.
It took some googling but I found it here
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Having problems with Odin, bah... trying to get my phone to work but always getting the "Data Write Failed" in red error.
EDIT: Haha nevermind got it to finally work after flashing Eugene's Froyo then stock JFD, guess I was using a different/wrong version of Eugene's Froyo haha damn I'm so relieved!!
I'm having a similar issue. Can someone give step by step instructions on how to fix this, please. I'm able to boot up, but then it give an error that says i have no space for apps. I check the application space and it just says 0.00 MB. Please help
so i try to turn on wifi and ses error and hard resets and then just randomly does it so i tried flashing a different rom well 4 of them actually and none of them fixed it then i tried to sbf with 183 with pudding then it wouldnt even loadn up it would get to the att logo then reboot and go off with the red light flashing finally i had to fast boot to get clockwork mod then flashed another rom and its still doing it any one got an answer to this crap
Engrish Prease?
If I'm getting that right, you bootlooped, tried flashing 4 roms without wiping, then decided to sbf?
Well... Fastboot wipe, try flashing any rom using the latest romracer recovery, and hope that you didn't HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE BECAUSE YOU USED AN SBF.

Still don't know whether you're on the latest recovery (romracer's or CWM touch). That could be an issue. If you aren't getting failed to boot message, then it's almost certainly a software issue. Were it my atrix, I would ask myself:
Am I still getting the white unlocked text after that SBF?
1. If not, then unlock, wipe, and flash a rom using the latest recovery, and NEVER touch another SBF
2. If so, try a more thorough wipe if possible. Use every fastboot erase and make sure that your downloaded ROM isn't corrupted. Then do the rest of 1. minus unlocking, of course.
I have the latest rom racer recovery and the sbf I flashed was 1.83 with pudding I got it mostly functional again by restoring a backup I had. but still if I try to turn on wifi it will say error and the bootlooping starts all over again . That seems to be what is causing it. And yes the unlocked is still at the top of the moto logo.

Hi got a galaxy tab 10.1 ive got the Kang CM9 ICS rom on it, worked fine for about a month then suddenly just started crashing

I've not experienced this because I haven't messed much with Kang CM9 ICS, but my first suggestion would to be restore from nandroid backup. If you're like me, in the past, you didn't do one or can't access it. So a full reflash or possibly going back to stock and then a reflash would be my suggestion.
If you decide to go back to stock first, or still need to after a reflash, the overcome ROM thread is a good place to lead you to 7500 & 7510 stock ROMs. You'll find a link to a guide outside xda there where towards the bottom part of the guide it says Restocking yer system.

thanks Benzoman was able to reflash the stock rom from rogers using ODIN after which it got stuck in a bootloop. then tried data wipe in recovery mode and it booted up like normal.
any idea what could have caused it?
Depends if you had HC 3.1 as a base firmware, more likely to crash, then another would be what version of ICS you used, because the kang is at milestone 4, the current stable march edition.
so I need some major help.. i rooted my cowokers CDMA razr the other day and everything was perfectly fine he was happy and loving the eclipse 1.3 rom i put on it but out of nowhere a few days later he went in this crazy boot loop.. ive tried and read everything i could find to fix this problem but nothing seems to work.. ive tried RSD lite.. the utillity.. all kinds of fastboot and nothing works.. the recovery i had put was bootstrap.. but thats gone now i finally got to restore it back to 2.3.5 but that also boot loops.. can someone help me fix this i just want the phone to be stock and not bootlooping
Go into recovery and restore factory defaults.
Factory defaults? I think I have stock recovery now

Noob here, please bear with me:
Updated my I577 to ICS, then rooted it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806118
Worked like a charm, then I picked up ROM Toolbox Lite from PlayStore, which worked fine until I tried to change themes.
Somehow, it got to where boot was stuck at vendor logo. Unfortunately I did not Nandroid backup in time, but I was able to do a Kies backup before rooting, so not worry about the data loss at this time.
Used CWM5, did davlik & cache wipes, factory resets several times, no dice. No stock ROM available so I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30444507&postcount=6
(flashed system tar through ODIN) Hanged at "system.img.ext4".
Here's where I'm at now:
-- Boot looping at second Samsung logo
-- ODIN 1.85 still reads device at port
-- Battery indicator visible when plugged in & power off.
-- Still able to get to cwm recovery 5.5.0.4
So, IS IT SOFT BRICKED OR HARD BRICKED?
Bonus Question: Is it unbrickable?
Any input or answers are GREATLY appreciated, and a fix will most likely be monetarily compensated through Paypal.
Black-wolf, j3r3goss, or shabbypenguin if you see this, your input is certainly appreciated as well!
Its soft bricked. Hard brick means there is no life at all and won't even power on (through software).
Any soft brick is unbrickable, the only nonunbrickable brick is a hard brick (which is rare)

If you can get into Clockwork Mod Recovery still then select wipe data (Do this twice), then select whipe cache (Do this twice), next select factory reset (Do this twice), finally go back and select reboot system. This should unbrick your phone for you

I was able to nandroid out of the loop, but now it's back to my original problem--it keeps booting to the "Rethink Possible" AT&T screen & freezing.
Any ideas? I'm thinking I'm gonna be outta luck until I get my hands on a legit Gingerbread Stock tar.
Did you whipe cache, whipe data and preform a factory reset like we suggested? Preforming a nandroid restore won't get you out of your phone hanging on the at&t logo.

Hi thanks for your response to my problem,
yes i flashed a custom recovery from clockwork and i rooted it. i cant get in to recovery mode.
after i did that i tried flashing custom rom like i said before but after reboot it didnt do anything.
i just got the startscreen and found that i could use download mode and odin to flash original rom.
i used 1 click downloader from Odin and it started to recover my rom,but at the end it stalled.
after that happened i couldnt do anything anymore.
i thought it was totally dead but i just saw that when i connect to my comp it says unknown device..
im an idiot for trying this stuff without the knowledge..it looked easy in descriptions
but i found different descriptions how to do it..
i cant put links in my posts yet cause i am new..
i used the 1st one.. but after that didnt work i found that other 1 and that is little different...

I did all that, but the one thing that finally nailed it was formatting my internal SD. I also formatted my external one, but I don't even think I put it back in the phone.
So, if anybody's reading this in the future, and you're still stuck after wiping the cache, wiping Davlik & performing factory reset,
FORMAT THE SD!

Hey, total noob here but Im having problems with my Galaxy S4 so I was on this thread looking for a fix.I have an AT&T Galaxy s4 (SGH-I337) and I just rooted my phone and installed clockworkmod recovery. I went to backup and then when I rebooted it freezes at the AT&T logo. Ive wiped data/factory reset, wiped caches, etc ive done everything and it freezes at the same spot. I have no ROMS as I had just rooted, just stock 4.2.2. Then I saw a vid on how to unroot/unbrick and it was working perfectly until it went to reboot.(I downloaded 4.2.2 firmware for my model phone) I used ODIN and it said pass then when it was rebooting it froze in the exact same spot (also instead of the normal bootup it still had the "custom" and an unlocked lock that Ive had since I rooted) and now I cant enter recovery mode. It starts booting but then freezes when the blue letters come on! Now even when I try to turn it on normally it freezes at the samsung logo (with unlocked lock and "custom")Please help! I would greatly appreciate it!
