RE: helppp
Kinda need some more information.
What happened for your phone to start doing this? Did you try to root it, flash it etc?
Where in the world are you? You may need to flash your phone so this helps me find the right firmware for you.
What Network are you on? Same as above, helps me find the right firmware if needed.
Any idea what version of Android you were running before this happened or were you running a custom rom?

Can you restore a nandroid backup?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
no. im not tried to use nandroid
its work on tab 10.1 ? By the way, I cant copy things to the tablet from the computer because the computer does not recognize him (odin recognize). Anyway, I do not know what it nandroid. If you can explain to me shortly, or to link it would really help. Thank you

I need some help. I think I killed my brand new S3. If anyone can help me... please.

Hi,
I think I may have killed my brand new S3.
After rooting using the very good SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V4.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488)
I inadvertently changed the DPI setting and now my S3 is stuck at the logo at boot.
I used DPI Changer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innodroid.dpichanger).
Is there any wizard out there that can please please please help me recover my literally brand new phone?
Oh please tell me I can do something to recover this. I'm really really afraid I just spend my last money on something that was broken after just a few hours.
help....
Factory reset in cwm or else flash a rom via cwm or else flash one via Odin.
Don't worry its not dead.

Go t samyfirmware dawnload stock rom dawnload odin.Go t dawnload mod : volume dawn, power and home flash the stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Just for reference... I have owned and tinkered with smartphones and tablets since the very first XDA.
This is the first time I have ever been afraid I broke a device.
I will tell you why. When I wiped the data, user, dalvik and cache the S3 was still dead. Even after installing a new ROM the phone remained dead. It simply did not go past the loading screen. It could not connect to Odin either. I still had CWM though, so that was good.
So I was pulling my hair as I could not find a solution. So i posted here....
Anyway, I had to manually go in and FORMAT every folder (data, cache, system etc etc), reboot into recovery, install my chosen ROM and GAPPS, and then after a very veeery long wait it finally booted. W H E W!
I can only say it was high tension there for a while, but I am glad it was solved.
So anyway, DPI Changer from the market does not work with Galaxy S3... At all.
Sorry for wasting your time finally.

[Q] Samsung Exhilarate: Soft Brick or Hard Brick?

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

If you can get into recovery you're only in shallow water

Something's changed
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!

Before you flash new rom you should wipe data/factory reset (But only if you have custom kernel) then flash your rom.
If you have issues with new rom, do above again and/or try re-flashing.
Also you should give it about 10 mins after system has booted before you attempt to use device, this gives it time for things in background to settle. After 10 mins give it a reboot. This isnt always necessary however its good practice to do so to avoid some issues on some types of roms.

[Q] S2 wont boot after app install

My friends S2 19100 wont reboot. An app install locked the phone up and when it was restarted it just stops at the samsung logo. Is there a way to repair it without losing all the data i.e. messages, photos and such. Any help would be gratefully received.
What was you on ics jb? Go to recovery and wipe cache and dalv cache if you have cwm. If don't work do a wipe/factory reset. If you was on ics firmware or not to sure then don't do factory reset. May harm your phone.
