Hi I am almost sure i bricked my phone, i can't make it pass the boot screen on any rom i try to put on the recovery. Yes, recovery is working, what i did to make it this state surprises me, I was trying to put Miuiu on my phone, i followed the instructions and downloaded the app called "Flash Image Gui" and well i did, the problem was that after i did, it asked me to install another app and that started giving me errors, i could not make calls just receive, and whenever someone texted me it would tell me than "The customer you are trying to text is temporarily out of service" ...after that i tryed changing to another rom and when i did it kept doing the same errors, not even data worked. well to get to the point i wanted to install miuiu and i did try. i openeed the app flash image gui and tryed to install the rom...after that it told me to boot, and thats the last thing i did before my endless boot screens for all 4 roms i have tried..i dont know what to do anymore. :/
if anybody could help me, i have been trying all day to make it at least show me the homescreen. but nothing passes the bootscreen. it just freezes there..

Okay so I installed a gingerbread ROM that keeps getting stuck at the boot screen. Yes, I installed the radio first and took all the correct steps.
But now I'm trying to simply boot into recovery to flash my backup of my other gingerbread ROM that actually worked. I boot into bootloader and it automatically tries updating the radio and there is no possible way to boot into recovery.
I don't know what to do.
When it asks you to install update, what if you say no, then you should be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader.
Sucks you're having issues.

Like g00s3y said, you must first remove the file you were trying (or successfully) flashed off your sd card. It's always best to remove this file once youre done with it. In your case you will probably need to use a sd card reader unless you can get your phone to mount.

I got the exact same problem
I ran into the same problem last night. I hooked my phone up to my laptop which has adb installed. When you're stuck at the start up screen, in a command prompt just type:
adb devices
You should see your phone show up under devices. If it shows up, then just type:
adb reboot recovery
This will get you into your recovery, and I just started the whole process over again. The 2nd time through everything worked great.
Hope this helps. (my phone wouldn't hard boot in to recovery, which I'm assuming is your problems also)
To hard boot into recovery, just hold the volume up key and turn the phone on. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Now I went and did it!
OK, so I was loading a new ROM and something went terribly wrong. I got stuck on the HTC, quietly brilliant screen. I then tried to boot into recovery thinking I would just restore the back up I had made and for some reason it jumped right to the HBoot and ran through some sequence of commands. Next thing I know I don't have root! So I'm screwing around trying to get adb to work on my computer and having problems with that. I try to recover again on the phone (power button and down volume) and notice that I still have s-off. Doesn't that mean I have root? But I also can't find a super user on the phone and none of my 'rooted' only programs work, they all say I don't have root. What do I do now?
Hboot is vol down and power.. not recovery. What that did was look for an update file on your SD card and flashed it. When you rooted your phone did you use the 1 click root? If so you probably just need to do step 3 again.. which gives you root and the super user app.. hopefully that's all it takes. When your done go into your SD card and remove the PG05 (there's more to the name don't have the whole file name memorized) zip file that's on there so it doesn't happen again

You will have to re-root now. This should teach you to be more careful and not just go randomly flashing and updating things. Read up some more before just trying things.
Yeah probably like he said your best bet is to re do the whole process.. Idk what you flashed on your phone or anything so just be careful and do your research before jumping into things.

When flashing a new rom make sure you check the md5sum. You can do this in adb or dl a program, just google it. If the md5sum comes back with the correct number then you know the dl isn't corrupted and you have the correct dl.
But as far as your current problem, you need to re-root.
Research your steps before you do them. I'm NOT a fan of 1-click. If you do it manually, and one step seems not to go right, then stop and ask on the forums. Someone should respond.
hi guys, I accidentally posted this in general, but here it is in SGS2 forum.. I really need someone's help.
I nearly had a heart attack think I bricked the phone.... long story short
I froze TouchWiz in Titanium Backup thinking it would just use vanilla, but it's just a black screen. I couldn't find a way to get to market/settings so I a flashed it on Odin to Ke4 again but it looks like it just flashes and doesn't wipe the settings.
Anyways - So im stuck at a black screen, I have the status bar up top, i can swipe it down but thats it.
How would I;
'format'/flash the firmware so its completely new ...? I just need an applauncher or a way to get to settings?
or How can I make my way to settings?
my preferred option is the format a clean whole new one
if anyone can help me because I got to get this sorted asap before work lol
Just need it to work.
Thank you so much anyone that can help.
There are probably better ways but you can try to install a home replacement via the web market. This should push it to your phone and after installing pressing home should give you the option to select another launcher.
Do you know any methods at all? I'm willing to try any, I just cant find anything that shows how to completely wipe and start new..
I downloaded Go Launch and chose to have it launch to my Phone but it didn't work from the phones end.. the phone has no wifi/3g connection.. it has the no connection icon so probably won't it wont push.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I would have never thought of that.
Looks like you may need the download recovery jig tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

I'm a bit confused about the jig option
I would have thought I could have flashed/restored it to stock
I am able to actually load the phone, I can swipe down and enable usb debugging mode, I just literally have no way to get to market & settings if possible...
=S
Yeh sorry jigs are running short you dont kneed one if you can access download mode .

Yeah, thats a relief.
What would my options, What can I do to get my phone working again..given the above..
Okay!
So I loaded Villains Rom 1.0 and everything works again, thank god.
My question now is, can I upgrade/flash now to KE4 with this one?

cool, thanks mate,
I'm just lost for words now...
When I put on villain rom, was happy to backup all my msgs asap and etc to gmail which I did, that's the most important thing so i'm glad.
So then I wanted to defrost some apps I had frozen ... so I installed titanium again .. as soon as I did that the same problem came again, black screened. I reboot and it's now stuck at the 'S' loading animation.. it wont start into the applauncher... I actually reloaded the rom but still same problem.
- i can actually do a screen capture at the animation screen....so im guesing everything else is ok
I just want this to work one more time so I can do a factory settings wipe and hopefully all this sorted..
anyone able to help, i'm so sorry for asking so many times.

OK. What you need to do is...
1) Reboot into recovery image (volume UP, home, power) and wipe /data. You're gonna lose everything stored, but I'm sure we can get over that
2) See if it now boots (it should). If not, reboot into recovery again and wipe /data, then turn off
3) Put phone into bootloader, and get the ROM you want to ODIN. You can use VR1 if you want to just flash systemfs (safer). Flash it as PDA, then it should boot.
Failing that, you can recover it "my way". Flash Chainfire's insecured kernel (from the root thread), then get it to start booting. keep running "adb shell" (you do have adb set up?), and once it works run "rm -r /data", then type "reboot". That will wipe /data, and hopefully let it boot.
Don't panic too much btw, it shouldn't be too serious.
Hi Guys,
This is my first attempt at rooting. I rooted the phone successfully using Gingerbreak and it installed SuperUser app. I installed ROM Manager from the market and installed the Clockwork recovery for LG Optimus One(selected from the options given). I got a message saying the installtion of Clockwork was successful, after which I decided to do a backup of the current ROM. I enterd the name of the backup file and after a couple of minutes the phone rebooted.
After the LG logo, I got a black screen with "Fastboot mode started udc_start()" and the phone just got stuck here. No response and the backlight is also not turning off. I tried removing the battery and rebooted but everytime the phone boots into this screen.
Is my phone bricked? And is there any other way to recover it without using KDZ updater to flash a stock ROM?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Karthik

I'm sorry but how did you enter a name for your backup? CWM automatically generates a name for it, and that's the date you created it. It doesn't ask for names (at least mine doesn't).
Edit: sorry, I just saw that you created a backup with ROM Manager. Anyway, your problem is most probably caused by a faulty flash of the recovery (not your fault). And next time create the backup from the custom recovery, it's better that way.

Congratulations. Yet another phone soft-bricked by ROM Manager recovery flash. Do NOT use ROM Manager for flashing recovery, period. Apparently, the bug is nowhere near to fix, despite what the developer claims.

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

Use Google, there is more than enough tutorials on how to flash using Odin/CWM/TWRP.
I did do a bit of Googling for you and found this, please do verify the MODEL of your phone is "SPH-L300" before using these files:

In you first post it sounds as if you did in fact wipe everything, including your then existing ROM. Best thing to have done at that point was to use adb to push a ROM to your phone, reboot back into recovery using adb and install the pushed ROM. Even if you wiped all content of any kind, you should be able to us adb to install factory img, stock ROM, etc.
P.S. all of the above is probably still an option- using adb to restore, get into bootloader etc.
