Hi there,
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Fascinate 4G (SGH-T959D) unlocked and rooted.
After I use the Kernel Manager Lite to flash the kernel,(When I load Kernel Manager Lite it prompts me to choose Google Nexus S or Google Nexus S 4G". I chose Google Nexus S 4G.) my phone reboot and stuck on a black screen with "Fascinate 4G" & "SAMSUNG" on it.
I try to turn it off and on couple of times and it only shows to above said screen.
Can anybody help me to save my phone.
Many Thanks.

the fascinate 4G and nexus s 4G aren't the same phone, so you flashed a kernel that was incompatible with your phone. you'll have to Odin back using the fascinate 4G stock Odin tar and pit. Is your phone from telus? if it is use this guide/thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Yep listen to ztotherad and don't use kernel manager its old and outdated

The last thing i wanted to do is make a n00b post like this but i want to make sure i have missed anything so far.
I have a white 9100m that a friend gave to me. It was upgraded to stock Bell ICS when it was released. The phone got really warm in his pocket then shut off. When he tried to power it on it would just sit at the SGSII splash screen forever.
Some things to note:
- Download mode works
- Cannot get into recovery
- Phone charges fine
Now i have tried Odin to flash stock Bell ICS both with the appropriate pit and without. I have tried flashing a ICS CF-root to try and get into a CWM recovery and it doesn't work. I cannot also get the phone to be recognized with ADB with the android SDK installed or after installing kies.
I am lost and am ready to just send it in but perhaps i am missing something that people 100x smarter me will know. Any thoughts?
Theres a thread by Phistachio so have a look there.

Did you get any error while carrying out the instructions in that thread?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
No error at all. ODIN successfully flashed anything i threw at it. This is why i am thinking its hardware related.
This is the situation and what ive tried to fix it. I was on cm9 and wanted to try jellybam so I flashed using cwm . It was successful but wouldn't boot so I tried to reinstall the rom still no luck so I tried going back to cm9 and it got stuck on the s2 logo screen ! I tried odin to flash a stock rom and it was successful but still stuck on the logo screen. Ive tried gb and ics ive tried to flash with and without bootloaders ive tried reparation but that only fails unless I use the pit file but still didn't fix it. If I flash the stock rooted ics rom and then flash cwm zip i can wipe system then flash cm9/10 but that only gets me to the cm animation . It will sit there till the end of time but wont boot! In cwm If I check the log I get this error I:can't partition unsafe device:/dev/block/mmcb1k1p1. It wont factory reset on stock or cwm it only freezes then bootloops. I hope this is enough info please help me! I love my s2 and even tho I have my s3 I miss my s2

. yes I tried to factory reset but it just freezes then after 5 min. It try's to boot but gets stuck on the galaxy s2 logo screen. I checked the log in cwm and got the error I posted above. I've been flashing for years and never run into an issue I couldn't fix but this one has me stumped

Sorry if this sounds rude but have you googled that error?
Sent from my GS4 running CM11 Kandy Kane
Lol no that's not rude. I would ask the same question. ..I did and from what I've gathered its a corrupt sd card or part of the emmc brick bug. There are patched kernels to fix the same issue on the note but nothing for i777. All it says is factory reset and flash a new rom . Ive done that but still no boot. Roms flash fine and I can get into download mode and recovery but It wont factory reset or boot. Stock recovery says your ui is not prepared please factory reset and a bunch of can't mount data errors but it won't factory reset it just freezes then trys to reboot but gets stuck on the s2 logo then back to recovery. Here is the kicker tho. If I install a duel booting kernel I can install a second rom that boots but primary won't. ...I tried swapping primary and secondary roms but it froze....im just lost on this one and out of tricks

I'm not sure what partition that is. You've go a typo in it, but if the last three letters are correct "1p1", I don't remember seeing that as one of the system partitions. The kernel is in "mmcblk0p5" for instance. It should be "mmcblk1p1" I guess.
If you suspect memory damage to that partition, you can confirm that by trying to pull the data from that memory block with adb or terminal using the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/sdcard/testBLK
If the memory is damaged, you will get an error message. If the memory block is good, you will get no error message. I guess you could also look into "testBLK" to see what is in there, but of course it will be binary data most likely.
That's the error I got 1p1. Abd is something I haven't done yet. I've used terminal emulator back in the days of my cliq dext but im sure I can handle it...im pretty sure it is corrupt but if I do the test and confirm this how do I fix it? Is it just a matter of deleting or do I have to rewrite the path? Im confused on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Actually, this was bad advice. Since your phone is bootlooping, you can't use terminal, doh! If you can get into recovery, you might be able to use adb. Or you could use Red_81's adb portable. You could also try his adb batch file from download mode to see if you can boot it into recovery mode. I guess it will take a little study if you have no experience with it.
Oh, and if the memory is bad, its bad. This is just a way to find out, maybe.
So what your saying is it's dead?!!!
Noooooooo! Lol im looking into maybe getting another one or shipping this one to Samsung to have a new motherboard put in . Just trying to see if there is any hope of bringing her back to life...

Not saying that unless you verify for sure that the memory is bad. The only time I've actually heard of eMMC damage, and seen it verified, was in conjunction with the bad stock kernel on 4.0.4. There was also another case where a member sent his phone to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos for Jtag repair, and it was sent back unrepairable due to memory damage. I can't remember for sure, but I think that was due to the 4.0.4 stock kernel too.
You might talk to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos by phone to see what he thinks, before you send it to Samsung.
I tried contacting josh and couldn't reach anyone. I left a message and sent and email but haven't heard back. I tried using adb portable and as I did that I think that I didn't make the phone issues clear. I can get into recovery mode fine I can also get into download mode fine . I can flash roms fine but it won't go past the s2 logo screen . If I flash cyanogen it will go to the cyanogen boot screen but again won't boot. I am still trying to find a solution in my free time but nothing yet

I have run into something similar, my wife has the s2... I have the s3....
this is the steps I run to get the s2 working after it gets stuck...
1 - installed stock rom I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL = self executable from windows.... brings you to stock with root..
forget this one, this is when I was first rooting... 2 - DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
3 - MobileODINLite-v3.57
4 - MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I777-v1.0
5 - flash kernal Siyah-v2.6.14-att.tar = installs recovery clockwork mod
6 - install any rom....
Download mode on S2 is volume up and down and power button....
I can't get it to boot up so I can't use mobile odin. I've tried one click and also tried every stock tar I could find . I even tried to reinstall the bootloaders. They all install successful but it wont boot past the s2 logo screen. Im not a noob , I've flashed hundreds of times. I've fixed a few bricks in my day but this has me stumped. ...if you install the stock rom there isn't any reason why it shouldn't boot. But it is just stuck. Nothing has worked. I think the only thing that may work is the re write the memory but im not that patient to do that lol

Just curious if you unmounted and remounted the partitions?
or maybe formatted them individually?
Soft-bricked Galaxy 2 SGH-I777. Odin of no use
I bought a galaxy 3. I literally tried everything with this phone. Was able to root, went to install siyah kernel from zip and now I get the samsung logo. I can boot into CWM recovery, but none of the functions work--just hangs on the hat. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please don't re-post; your question has been answered in the thread you created. Please search for answers first; the solution to your problem is safely housed in a sticky in the General section.
Thanks but...
I can't flash anything so this would be a new thread. The poster above said he/she could flash toms. I CANNOT. Also, I've been looking on here for solutions for over a month. This is my first post.
hello all,
i was a happy user of my GS3(i9300) running cm 10.1 nightlies until one day i decided to tinker with the developer settings.i by mistake touched the external screen or some thing like that and i clicked 1080p.my phone went into a frozen state.i tried booting it,it well,booted but always froze and i ultimately had to do a factory reset to get my hpone back.this was nearly a month ago.i recently started using the cyandelta app to update my cm.i updated thrice or twice.my phone when put to charge,always froze.i couldnt do anything but restart.(pressing the power button didnt help either.).i ignored this for a while.today ,the phone randomly started freezing and i could only get it back to normal after a reboot.with great difficulty i managed to backup my apps via titanium backup.it never lasted for more than an hour without freezing.i decided to update cm manually.so downloaded it,wiped the phone etc.it got stuck in a bootloop. many restarts later, i got to the initial setup screen.it froze there too.again after many restarts,it finally was in a usable condition.i started restoring the apps(there too it froze).frustrated,i decided to revert to touchwiz of which i made a nandroid backup earlier,it too is feezing.it is freezing a lot more than cm.even after many reboots,the phone isnt normal.after just pulling down the status bar,the phone freezes,the power,volume buttons...none can revive it.only pressing the power for a long time and restarting it brings it back up,but again it ****ing freezes.i dont have any damn idea on what to do.please help.

Hi,
Whenever I try to turn on my phone, it gets to the screen that says Samsung Galaxy S II I9000 with the triangle(I was on an old cm7 build, never updated.) And it will stay there. I can wipe data but it doesn't change anything. I tried using Odin to install the stock param.lfs and it didn't do anything. I don't think I can get any data to my sd card because I can't turn my phone on so I can't try installing a different rom other then cm7. I don't know what to do. If anybody could help it would be really appreciated.
I think you have the international gaaxy s2.
Please refer to this forum.
I do not have the international version. I have the i777. I guess they have found a fix now but at least when the phone used to be rooted it would change the boot animation to the i9000 one.
Yeah, Samsung never made a i777 version of the "you-flashed-an-unofficial-ROM-to-your-phone" screen. I would just odin back to stock to clear the flash counter and then following all of the guides on XDA, flash the ROM of your choice without increasing the flash counter (and giving you that screen with a triangle).
How about going back to stock and then flashing from there?
Can you use ADB to get to recovery?

I thought that param.lfs was stock but a quick google search brought me to an unrooted stock build which I needed anyone to get my battery fixed. Thanks guys, did the trick!
I am in need of some help ASAP.!!
Have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I had rooted it and flashed different Eclipse ROMs and decided to go with CarbonROM all in one night. I liked everything about Carbon until I noticed the next day I didn't have 4g anymore and wouldn't go over 2 bars of signal. So I decided i wanted to flash back to factory unrooted. I searched and searched and read and read to make sure just how to do it for my phone. I used Odin and it successfully flashed but than when it went to reboot it keeps flashing the startup "Samsung Galaxy Note II" over and over. Is this bootloop correct? If so i have searched and searched how to fix this and nothing is working. Either Odin gets stuck at SetupConnection, or hangs, wont even recognize my Note (I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers multiple times.) and nothing is working. I have no access to recovery mode, only download.
I really need some help with this. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
If you are able to go into recovery then wipe to factory reset.... If not then try to install the stock rom via odin

I was able to finally restore it back to factory. I ended up using a stock ROM from one thread used with a pit. file from the Root/Unroot Guide on this forum along with checking the re-partitioning. It was successful the first try amazingly, entered a true bootloop as i found out (flashed 4gLTE rainbow etc over and over.) and was able to access recovery mode. Wiped cache and factory reset and rebooted. Phone is now working!!
BUT... no 4g?? only 3g and signal is still somewhat weak compared to past signals. Do I need to alter APN, IMEI, or stuff like that?? :S
Also a sidenote, I used to be 4.2.2, and now after stock restore/flash I am 4.1.2. Is this a big deal and can I upgrade to lets say 4.3 without rooting or do custom ROMs update this or do they need a base to be added to? :S
