Hey guys.
I'll try keep it short but detailed. Here goes!
I got my replacement phone back today from insurance.
I used the Ace hack kit to root my phone, half way through rooting my USB messed up and now the Ace Hack Kit doesn't recognize it.
Now when I boot, the T-mobile logo comes on. Then fades into a greeny black colour.
I have downloaded loads of RUU's and they get stuck on the 'sending...' stage.
My phone is not and never has been rooted.
I can only boot into bootloader or Hboot or fastboot. Recovery causes it to get stuck.
I need a way of reinstalling the stock data from fastboot. When trying to flash with fastboot, it just doesn't move and gets stuck. on 'sending'
I don't know why
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Please also look at my video if it helps.

I followed this guide here to try to install one of the simply roms and now my phone is stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I have tried without success to get into recovery or download and I can't. Please help!!!!
Okay sorry for making this thread before I tried my last thing to get it to work. I had an idea and it worked. I don't know if this will help anybody else but I will still share what I did to get it working again. You will need the phone to be connected to the computer and also have the Vibrant all in one toolbox installed. The phone was stuck at the boot screen as previously stated so all I did was open up AIO Toolbox and clicked flash to stock and then it rebooted me into download mode and everything went smooth from that point on. Sorry for the worthless thread but maybe my solution will work for you also. Hope it does! If it does don't thank me on the thread thank me with my thanks button.
Okay so now I actually have another question. I got the phone back to stock 2.1 and now it still says galaxy s GT-I9000 at boot up but right after that it says Vibrant. I need to know how to get my phone completely back to stock so I can start all over

I followed a guide here to try to root and unlock my samsung galaxy s 4g. Everyghing went well until last reboot. My phone is stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I have tried without success to get into recovery or download and I can't. Cannot get any recovery command on the phone. Cannot access the phone from the computer. The phone does not even turn off without taking off the battery. Please help!!!! I do not know anything about computers or cell phones and honestly do not know whatelse do!
That's probably because you flashed a rom or bootloaders that were made for the regular vibrant and you have a 4g. You can't as of right now flash anything from the vibrant forum to the 4g, it's clockwork is still in beta.
Hi all,
I got an HTC Explorer around a month ago and quickly found out how useless it was with the miniscule amount internal storage HTC decided to provide me with. So I quickly found jaggyjags' rooting tutorial found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1415223
All went well and I was happy with the phone, until some of the apps started bloating and I went a little too far with link2sd and tried to convert the com.htc app into a user app, which ended disastrously. Pretty much every process failed or had an error, so I tried restarting the phone and found myself in a boot-loop.
I then succesfully got into HBOOT and then into recovery. So I decided to try installing jaggyjags' custom ROM. After taking out my SD card to connect to my computer and copy jaggyjags' rom to, I got back into HBOOT, but could not get into recovery anymore. All the phone did was get stuck on the HTC screen.
After leaving it on the screen to see if it would eventually make it to recovery, I discovered that the phone is now dead and won't even charge. I'm not sure if it's because the battery might be dead or some other reason.
But before I gather the courage to send it in to get fixed, is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
Aruim
So have u tried to turn it on with the charger connected?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e
Remove the battery and leave it out for a little while, then put it back in and plug in the phone and see if it will charge at all. Even if the screen doesn't show the charging animation, try turning it on after a little while on the charger.
Turn on and hold Volume Up to get into the bootloader, then try to get into fastboot if you can. If you can, try reflashing the recovery menu, then maybe you will be able to access it after that?
Just a few ideas from someone who doesn't really know very much about this sort of thing (thankfully).
Thanks for the reply guys!
Unfortunately the phone still isn't turning on at all, even after fiddling with the battery and putting it on the charger.
So now I may look into saving up and investing in a Sony Xperia S
Thanks anyway! And I'll continue posting if I do make any further progress!

i was trying to root a phone for someone and after odin completed it said it had failed.
the phone is a telus samsung t959d running froyo.
I followed the instructions from (I would post the url for the link but i am not allowed to.)cyanogenmod's wiki, after it failed I rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the screen in the attached pic. I have tried to boot back into download mode to no avail. From the screen it's stuck on I cannot get any tool to register the device as being present, adb, heimdall, zdiag, etc... I even tried fastboot out of desperation.Before I used odin I tried to get the phone to boot into the bootloader but it only ever went to either recovery or a normal boot and I tried every button press combo I could think of and found and nada.
Even running adb reboot bootloader just made the device boot normally. I think that if I could get it to boot to fastboot usb i could then try fastboot. I am new to rooting devices and have successfully rooted my HTC EVO3D and got s-off and simlock removed for any carrier. So I do know how to follow instructions properly, why flashing the recovery.bin failed I don't know and every fix I seem to find says BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE. if I could do that I wouldn't be having this problem lol. Anyway can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks. ANd if you need any further info please let me know. I don't want to have to give my friend my phone due to a software issue.
And YES I did pick PDA not anything else.

I kept reading other threads and sadly I din't pully the battery first before disconnecting the usb and repartition may have been checked as I see that it does the as default for my version. Also i turned off ODIN as I was hoping a reboot of my computer might help. I will keep trying to find an answer till someone gets back to me. this post may not even show up if I can't do a second post if no one has replied first.
Everyone was a nub at one time wasn't it FUN hahahahahaha sob cry

I tried a jig and that didn't work. There must be some way of getting the device to give up on completing a task i no longer can give it due to ODIN being shut off.
Why is it that the "how to root/unlocks" never have the "if x fails then do these steps etc..." Had the how to had "pull the battery before disconnecting USB and don't reset or shut off ODIN" I wouldn't be in this mess. I realize that it's user beware but a few important steps like that in case of a fail would go a long way to you guys not shaking your heads. Instead of "silly nub hahahahahaha". No offence but I get that a lot and try to remember that when I teach someone how to use a computer. I am new at phones not at everything.
Further Developments Please can someone help?
I was giving someone a new memory card and they had a Samsung SGH-I896 it has an EB575152VA battery and the one I have the T959D has an EB575152VU battery. I exchanged my battery for hers by accident somehow and when I plugged my phone in it didn't go to the phone triangle computer logo screen it booted to recovery and said it couldn't charge the battery and kept rebooting to recovery. I got my battery back and it booted back to the phone triangle computer logo again. Grrrr....
The other thing I saw while the recovery screen was an error message that said
Code:
E:/data/fota not accessible
(may not be 100% accurate I don't have the battery to check right now but can get it again if need be) anyway I now see that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. i have the correct stock firmware for the device I tried flashing it while in recovery but the phone kept rebooting before anything got done. My question is how can I get the dang phone to stop asking for Odin and go to recovery so I can flash stock firmware and ROM back to it? As I cannot as far as I know give it what it wants because I reset Odin and nothing seems to see that the phone is connected to the computer. I am going to try the other battery on a full charge to see what that does.
I am new at all this and want to get it fixed. I cannot afford to send it off to a service center and besides that I want to do it myself as I want to become a developer and droid technician. I would gladly donate to anyone but am still trying to get Google to accept my pay-as-you-go credit card and I don't have PayPal either. Which is really frustrating when it comes to giving back. I posted a Q&A on how to without PayPal or CC but as of the last time I checked no one has gotten back to me about it.
The CyanogenMod guide is flat out WRONG. I've tried to change it, but anything I do is reverted in an instant. I also tried to use it to install the ROM only, ended up bricking my phone and it took me hours to unbrick. That's how I became acquainted with XDA.
So, to get this straight:
1. you're using the stock USB cable
2. you remove the battery
3. you hold volume down
4. you plug in the usb cable
5. after a few seconds, you release volume down
6. the screen does not display a yellow triangle with an android

That is correct. If you think that my idea below is a bad one or if I downloaded the wrong firmware package please let me know and /or you have a fix that will work? ty
I have though come up with an idea that may work. I am going to charge the "wrong" battery in erm the right phone lol and then use it to trick the device into booting into recovery instead of the cellphone triangle computer (CTC, for want of a better acronym) The I896 battery ends in a V not an ? (sorry can't rem don't have it on me) from the I896 model I think it is, plugging it into USB with the power off sends it to recovery with the "battery cannot be charged " message instead of the CTC screen.
I tried it but the charge in the battery was too low and rebooted. I am hoping that with a full charge (as long as I don't power on the phone first as this will make it go to CTC logo again.
I am hoping that I can install the update.zip that I made by first unzipping the T959UVJFD_firmware.tar I downloaded then unpacked and then repacked into an update.zip as I don't think that it will read the package as a tar file and if it's not called update.zip The recovery is still stock. If I get the phone working I am not going to try unlocking and rooting it again. I will just post two separate adverts one as a carrier locked device and the other one (higher of course to cover buying the unlock from Telus) as carrier unlocked and then I will buy the unlock code if the blah blah you get the drift. sorry for rambling on.
oh and I can't rem if I said this or not, In recovery it "E:/data/fota not accessible" I don't know what that means yet I have been busy with other things and haven't looked it up yet.
Since you can get into at least some version of recovery, your bootloader is intact and you should be able to unbrick it. You ought to be able to get into download mode using a download jig. You can get one on ebay for a few bucks or you can make one yourself. There's a guide floating around here somewhere that lets you make one from a microusb cable.

Hi everyone! As stated in the title my phone(p769) wont boot completely, I was in the middle of doing the bootloader unlock when I accidecntly replaced the bin during the root process of it with the wrong bin. Instead of replacing it with the v6 tmobile usa one I used the v5 canadian one. Now when I boot my phone up the lg screen is there and then eventually it just hits an android with a red exclamation point. I've tried Re-flashing while its in s/w upgrade mode with the flasher set to emergency, and Ive tried pressing the home button + vol down + power to no avail(it goes through the process but the same thing happens)
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance!
Edit: Also when I try to reflash, it just says it cant communicate with my phone. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times but seeing as how I cant acutally get into the phone Im not sure what else to do.
Edit 2: So ive been trying do something witht his for the past three hours and I cant get anywhere with it. I cant get the phone to show up as an adb device while its in s/w upgrade mode, and at the red exclamation point screenit shows up but as recovery and the lg tools fail to communicate with it. I would really appreciate if anyone knew how to deal with this.
Just in case anyone stumbles upon this and has the same issue I would like to say that i finally got mine fixed.
It has been a long day of frustrations but I finally got it there with the help of some awesome tutorials.
In order to fix it I had to fastboot my phone and flash the default loader and boot then my device would show up in my adb devices and I could sucessfully flash and root it.

Hi! Were you able to resolve this issue? I have a similar problem. Thanks!
try to get your phone to out of battery, and use the charger to boot into the download mode, when charge it, press vol + - until you see the download mode, enter and flash firmware to get back to the original samsung UI
and if it stucks on NAND Erase try to find a new usb cable or try to find a newer firmware
the lastest firmware's bootloader have upgraded, if these solution wont work, i am afraid i cannot help you
