Hey,
I just got my phone out to see that it was stuck on the Dell boot logo and required a battery pull to fix it.
Strangely, 5 min before I was writing an email and the gmail app crashed.. but it was still on and running fine.
It's stock 118 and rooted.
Any ideas?

Do you have any particular reason to still be on 118? (as in build 8116 correct?)
Would it be possible for you to make a nandroid of 118? I have never seen one of that version.
Apologies, I meant 318!
And the reason is because I've just got it the way I want it.. although I am being pestered to update to 351 by my Streak.

In addition, recently I've tapped the power button to bring it out of sleep and nothing has happened. If I continue to tap, it will bring up a frozeb screen I can't do anything with and requires a battery pull to get it back up.
What's going on with this? It's been so stable for so long...
Help please.

Come on guys, of the hundreds of you on the forum, someone can surely offer some advice....

This is a broad problem and there are dozens of threads with fixes. I spent days researching the same problem and you should ad well. What worked for me in the end was Streakdroid 1.9.0.
Reset the device to factory settings and try different roms.

What I don't understand is why it's only just started happening?
Surely if it was a board problem it should have been happening at least since the update to 318?
If you could link some for me, I'd appreciate it, I've searched on "Freeze" "Power button" but aren't finding anything.
Again, my apologies but nothing I try in the search box finds ANYTHING remotely similar to my issue.
Factory reset. Have you tried that? If that doesn't do it. You need to reflash.

I have the same problem as you right now.
I spent two days trying to fix this but failed,
there are so many ways you can try to fix, but i don't know if you have enought knowledge to do it.
1. using dell recovery to do the factory rest, if the problem exists,
2. flash other roms, if the problem exists,
3. using stread Mod recovery to wipe out the cache and user data, if the problems exists,
4. flashing the custom rom Streakdroid 1.90, if the problem exists,
5. redo No.1, and 3, if the problem exists,
6. do the QDL method, if the problem exists
you are at the same stage as me right now, and I am thinking it might be the internal SD card failure problem.

4. using QDL method
If it's a board problem, how would a factory reset fix it?
Is it fact that the board is faulty, or is it just assumed along with possible issues with the internal memory card?
Thanks

After two days of harding working,
I finally get my phone working again.
If QDL can not solve stuck at logo problem, try run internal SD card test, it is more likely the internal SD card is failure, just replace it with a new one should work.
Isn't that a bit easier said than done?
Requires taking most of the device apart, doesn't it?

I'm not sure what to do, this morning I went to settings, about phone and updated it.
When the phone rebooted it said failed to boot 2, starting RSD mode.
If I pull the battery it will boot up fine, but it auto shuts off after 30-45 seconds.
I'm totally new to these phones, I know my Friend "rooted" it for me and it has superuser.
I joined this site to ask for help thought, because I'm under the impressing it is the best.
If you can enter recovery mode (Google how to do it on your phone if you don't know) just wipe cache, then enter into advanced mode & then wipe dev cache, then reflash the current rom you were using before this happened. If this doesn't work follow the wipe steps again above & also do a factory reset then reboot & this may solve your problem?
Hope this helps

I had a similar happen to my phone what you are going to need todo is flash templates recovery and install a custom rim. This is what worked for me and you can find the instructions needed on the development forum.

Because I'm a newbie I can't post an actual link.
Thanks for the input guys.
It did put it on 2.2.1 I think I was on 2.2.2, at least the phone works fine now.
But
I'm looking into the new gingerbread update...
Glad you where able to get it all worked out.

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

THANKS so far for the input!
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.

Are you able to get into recovery mode? Did you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery?

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!
And flash this through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31765274&postcount=59

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!
Hello, really hoping someone can help me with this. I have the locked bootloader 2.3.5 on my photon 4g. I rooted the device and installed bootstrap and tried flashing RockoDev's locked ROM. Before I did this, I did a nandroid backup of my stock ROM onto my SD card. I did a factory reset, wiped the cache and wiped the delvic cache all from the recovery menu before trying to flash the ROM. It said it was successful, however, I'm stuck at the Dual Core screen. Is there anyway I can get back into recovery to reload my nandroid backup I did?

The link to the solution you provided is for someone who is able to unlock their photon. The problem is I'm on the dreaded 2.3.5 that cannot be unlocked. I can get to the regular Android Recovery with the robot and triangle, I have tried wiping the cache partition and factory reset. I can access the apply update from sdcard option, but if I try to navigate to the clockworkmod/backup location, I see the nandroid backup I made, but it won't let me select the image. I'm assuming it's because I need a zip file. Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot up into CWM recovery using fastboot maybe?
I thought you were in a bootloop. Since factory reset didn't help, I had to follow this thread when I was in your same situation. I'm on the locked. 2.3.5 ota.

Thank you sir! I'm giving this a shot right now. Hopefully this will do the trick, will let you know.
I have a question regarding performing a factory reset of the stock ROM using Safestrap. Is this possible or will it mess something up? I am under the mind set that this will delete all my apps and data. Would this also include the SS app and the SuperUser app? If these are deleted will I still have SS Recovery available upon boot and will my phone still be rooted. I ask these question because I am giving this phone to my Mom and what to return it to its factory state so she can set it up for her. Any help would be awesome.

Figured it out. Google searching took a little while but I finally got the information I needed.
Wanna share the answer with me? I accidentally did that and now it starts booting, but gets stuck in the red Motorola logo. Ugh

I actually removed Safestrap before wiping. Can't remember where I found it on Google. Hopefully by now you have fixed it. You could flash it in download mode to a stock razr Rom. Or go into factory recovery and do another factory reset and wipe and see if that fixes it. If not then download will be the only way to recover it.
