Hi everyone, im desperately looking for help.
I followed the guide to deblur my photon and succesfully deblured my phone, everything was fine. My wife accidentaly factory reset my phone and now i cant use it , it gets stucked on the contacting network screen, is there a way to boot to bootstrap recovery to restore my backup if the phone cant boot? After the conacting network screen, the hands free activation screen apears, i press ok, and a forceclose screen apears, the application SprintOmaDm has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again, i press force close and the contacting network screen apears again. Any ideas? Im not a sprint user, Im from mexico and use the phone with a gsm network.

did you have an unlocked bootloader with a custom recovery installed? if so. turn the phone off. push and hold power and volume down until you see fastboot. let off once you see it. press volume down until you see android recovery then press volume up. then restore your back up if you have a recovery and backup available.
if you have neither. you'll probably need to SBF back to stock. there's information on how to do that somewhere around. just make sure you SBF using the Photon one and not the Electrify. i don't know much about the Photon SBF's so hopefully someone else can help ya out there!

Im on a locked bootloader, I installed bootstrap recovery but to boot into bootstrap i need the phone to boot, do you know if i cant restore a backup I made with bootstrap recovery thru the stock android recovery? Ive never used an sbf file, they're flashed thru rsd lite right?
Do yo think I can flash the electrify SBF just for booting the phone, install bootstrap and then restore the backup i made when the phone was working?

Use this guide to bypass contacting network screen, then you should be able to get to bootstrap. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496012

I was following the phone unlocking guide in a sub-forum got my unlock code, powered off, inserted a different sim, powered on. I didn't get a request for a code; phone started up fine except no network access. I got a message a short while after something like android.phone stopped working.
Turned the phone off, put original sim back in and turned the phone on. All the phone will do is flicker the backlight every couple of seconds. 3-button recovery will take me to "Downloading..." and sit there. Flashing to Gingerbread using Odin will get to the RESET and phone will power off and phone will sit there screen flashing as before.
Anything I can do to resolve this?

Yep, I just done that. Now the phone will not power on at all. It will show as a device in Odin and Device Manager but no power comes up. It will not even go into recovery either.

Hey!
Firstly: For me worked(not in unlock, but in some other cases, where other soft fails) the STOCK ..XXKC1. Try to flash it. Dose you put you phone in to "Download" mode for Odin?
Where you get that UNLOCK? From here?
These are the questions, what I want answers. Maybe after that I can say surely.
TIA!

I was following the guide [TUTORIAL]How to Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy Ace Via ADB. Phone didn't ask for unlock code when I put a Vodafone sim in my o2-locked Ace. Shortly after putting the Vodafone sim in it said something like Android.phone force closed.
I can flash any firmware but so far the phone will not boot. The screen will just flash after flashing firmware and I can put it in Downloading recovery but nothing else happens so far.
Could it be something to do with the phone storage being screwed up? I followed the tutorial word for word and got my code and everything.

Hey!
Sorry, then. I cant answer. Dont know that. Maybe better to ask in that thread, from where you followed the TUTORIAL, how to unlock.
Go back to that thread and ask in there.

I,m The owner of the Unlocking post and i feel like i need to help, Last night i was "Playing" ClockWork Recovery and i touched the "Fix Permissions" option, the phone got stucked and i waited like 10 minutes and nothing happend so i long pressed the power button for a hard reset and when the phone turned on it made the same thing that your did, it sended me a message like yours and the phone started acting weird, and throw me a lot of other error messages so i rebooted the phone and the same, so i entered the recovery again and made a wipe/data and calvik cache, turned the phone back on and problem solved, if it does not work try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970 and you can install a custom rom wich is better than stock, i suggest FirstUA-ROM, i hope this was helpfull and im sorry that this happens to your phone.

Hi mate. Thanks for dropping in. I cannot enter recovery; the phone just does what happens in the OP - it just flashes. I can only enter 3-button recovery. So far I've tried 5 different firmware 2 Froyo (inc stock) and 3 different Gingerbreads found droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html. Will try a custom firmware but otherwise will try and take the phone back to o2 tomorrow.

Hey!
Dont take it back to SERVICE, before you not get flashed back to STOCK firmware or they can MAYBE, see that you not in stock firmware. Just saying it, that you DONT get in to trouble, with warranty.
CHEERS!
Yeah too it into o2 this morning. Luckily the dipshits that work there don't know anything. He just plugged it into his laptop and ran Kies. It's being sent off though. Hopefully will be sorted in warranty for free
Hello,
To solve this problem, did you activate the warranty?
I have the same problem, none of the existing ROM work, or find another solution?
I appreciate the help,
mscofield07
Yeah; I sent it back for warranty. They replaced the main PCB.
Can we unlock locked SGA? ?

You will have to be more specific than this...
Have you tried wiping Cache Partition and/or Dalvik Cache
When i boot the phone it never fully boots, when it finally gets to my lock screen the android system does not load. I can't do anything at all. I havent tried to root or anything. it just started and there was no reason why
the phone has finally booted to where my homepage would be but its a black screen that says android system on it and thats all. i can get to no apps or anything,
Im going too take a wild guess and say you either tried too install cwm without being rooted or u did not properly unlock your bootloadeR. Which is the case? Because this would not just happen did u read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

You might have to use rsd lite to flash a stock rom. If you look thru the posts in the dev section you will find what your looking for. I believe the post is labeled but don't quote me, how to root after sbf flash. I know it's something like that.
Read up on using rsd lite it's very easy once you read about it.
Best of luck to you.
If I can be of any further help feel free to pm me and I'll do my very best.

Sounds like you should factory reset.
Turn off phone
Hold volume down and press power
Continue holding volume down until it says fastboot in upper left corner
Release volume down
Press volume down until you get android recovery in upper left corner
Press volume up
Find factory reset option ( not sure where since I don't have factory recovery anymore)

Hi everyone! Im a noob here so I do aplogize if this problem has been solved/mentioned. Well, this is my problem: Ok so my stupid friends took my phone when I wasn't using looking and screwed up my pattern lock so I have to enter my email and password to unlock my phone, right? Well, I was busy so instead I switched off my device and kept it in my pocket. After an hour or so, I felt my phone getting heated up which was weird because it was turned off, so I checked on it and this is what I see: The boot animation was showing up and is stuck at the 'S' logo flashing bit with it vibrating occasionally, the 'menu' and 'back' buttons lights up once in awhile. Oh, and the occasion screen bright up. So i went ahead and tried holding the power button and the same thing happend but this time it lets me in and for a few secs..thn comes out to the boot animation again:crying:... So now I suspect that the lock process has crashed ...any way to fix it? The main thing here is that I need to somehow access the device long enough to copy my stuff to my computer. And of course, fix my well loved phone sorry if my post is very long.....Please help and thanks in advance!!!!!
Can you boot to recovery? (Home + Power + Vol. up)? If you can just do factory reset.
Ill try it, but will it affect all my files?
Your files should be fine. You will lose your app and user data but that's a small price to pay for fixing your phone.
if u can enter to cmwr, then u could make a nandroid back up. this way when u flash up a new rom you could try restoring only data information in advance options in Nandroid back up..
is your phone rooted?? do u have a CMWR???
if not, the only thing u could do is flash a new rom through ODIN.

Hi gang!
I have a Moto E 2nd Generation here that was having some issues, browser crashing, slow downs, overheating issues due to multiple apps running, etc. So I decided to log into TWRP and attempt to do a factory reset. After this factory reset was done now I attempt to log into fastboot, which gives me the options of start, restart, factory, etc. I am just receiving a boot loop and nothing more. The steps to get this corrected is a bit jumbled and confusing, I must admit. I have installed ADB on my computer in hopes that this will be straightforward. I have downloaded some system images which I thought would help the process, negative. So if someone could help me this would be greatly appreciated.

Heyo John!
I can try to help since I have managed to overcome my bootloop issue and flash a custom ROM into my phone. Could I ask, are you trying to also install a custom ROM? And what version of TWRP do you have?
I had the bootloop issue because of an outdated TWRP and had to flash the latest one, which thankfully worked!

Hello testerexp345,
Thank you for the reply and the assistance, I am not sure if TWRP is installed anymore as I can't get passed the bootscreen on the phone. I hold down the volume down and power button to get the options of factory reset, shut down, restart, etc. However all these options lead back to the boot screen looping over. The ROM that I had installed on the phone was from an online seller that paired the phone with a SIM card that allowed unlimited data service, which was great for my business since I am out much of the week traveling. Any insight would help, as when it comes to flashing devices and cell phones... let's just say I am a newbie still
