P506 help please

After i flashed tha rom i downloaded my phone got stuck on tha boot screen. I tried to do a restore but it says no backup "abort". I did a backup last night. So i know there is one. Do i jus need to reflash tha phone? Im confused
first of all, you're not supposed to flash anything in this forum. this forum is for p500 and p509.
second, if you cant boot past the splash screen, you're bricked. however, i think you can still boot into emergency mode. bad news is, you would only need that for kdz updater (which you can use to flash back the stock rom only if you have the kdz file, which i believe is not available for your phone)
Thanks for tha reply. My phone has been rooted and has cyanogen mod done. I can get to recovery screen so it could be easily done from what Ive read so far. I jus cant find my backup. Does anyone know where i can find tha stock firmware or rom for it?
if you go to nand restore, your backup should be there. if its not there, you either have to find a custom rom for the p506 (i dont think theres any) or you have to flash the p506 kdz file (which i tried to find for you but i cant. ill keep looking) using kdz updater
EDIT: check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087601
maybe you can ask kad_79 if he can make a nand backup for you to flash
Thanks for tha help. Ive been lookin everywhere myself. Not many people messing wit these phones. But i did find sum hacks for it before i tried tha rom. Im gonna do some more experimenting when i get my phone goin again. I dont wanna have to send it to lg. I asked him. Maybe if he dont have it someone else will.
Edit: Ok i found the original rom along wit many others. Its gonna take a while to download cuz im tethering with a slow sony ericsson phone. Cant wait to get android goin again!

sounds good
glad i was able to help. just remember, before you flash any rom, make sure that its compatible with your phone
Its supposed to be tha stock rom. I know to verify my backups from now on. I will post tha link for tha rom when i get my thrive goin again. Ive seen other people lookin for it as well.
Its working!!!
Update: well after several days of trying to figure out how to use fastboot to flash this rom i got tired of searching. i went and got a sdcard reader transferred the zip file to my card and flashed with cwm recovery. My thrive is working like it should now. Im gonna back up everything and start some experimenting now. Thx for the help. anyone has anything they want tested for a p506 thrive, im willing to do it. thx for the help

Why does CM mess up sooo many noobs phones?

100% of every person I read , get tweeted on or emailed...
that has messed up their phone and needs help.. is always involving a CM rom..
the reason I never have messed with CM is it seems so unstandard and I continue to see phone issues either during flash to or ppl trying to get back to stock or back to a CWM style ROM..
what gives?

Because they're noobs and fail to read the op, and just do what they want, and when they mess up, they have no clue what they've done, nor howto even begin to troubleshoot their own mistakes.
Cm is non-standard because 1. It's entirely different code and 2. The partition types, and format/filesystems has changed from bml/RFS/ext4 to mtd/yaffs2. And because of the partition stuff, you MUST use Odin or heimdall and jfd to go back. And they don't read the giant red letters in the op and then complain about stuff when it "doesn't work".

[Q] Sensation on bootloop after recovery

So i am a newbie on rooting and everything related.
and i rooted my phone got it on super cid and tried out a couple of custom roms to which ones i liked best for my liking.
The last custom rom i had was the hypernonsense 1.4
and when i was putting that on my phone. the guide told me to delete the file "android" afterwards. so.. i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
and i think i change the kernel or something on it too as it told me to do.
Everything was going good until i tried to put my phone in recovery from my backup on clockwordmod.
and from there it just stays on constant bootloop.
Please if anyone can help me id greatly appreciate the help.

[Q] Glitches w CM10ROM, tried to reinstall, now stuck in boot loop....help?

I was running CM10 experimental (supposedly stable) build and was having way too many issues: reboots 5+ times a day, random freezes requiring hard reboot, etc etc. I tried uninstalling latest apps...nope. Tried fixing permissions...nope. Finally decided to reinstall the ROM. Used CWM wiped all 3 times, went to istall from zip, couldn't find the ROM anywhere. I installed an older ICS ROM I found in there and it did it's thing until it was time to boot up...now it's stuck in boot loop. I tried removing battery, turning off with both buttons, connecting to usb...not recognized. It just keeps going thru the booting process until it says "Have a nice day!" and then starts over. How do I get in to fix this? I'm screwed....and of course use my phone all day for business......sheesh. Are there ANY JB ROMs out there that are actually stable...like in real life?
Love this site, love all of you helpful folks....pulling my hair out at this point...;-(
You're kinda asking a lot since jb has to be ported over at the moment which naturally leads to glitches such as the restarts. This is the price you pay to run jb months and months before the note is officially updated. at which time the source code will be come available and we will have rock solid jellybean builds. Until then we take what we get. Run the latest release candidate of cm9 until then if you want something super stable.
Also don't you have a backup you can restore? I'm not allowed to feel sorry for you if you never backed up your device.

Thanks for the reply JR, your statement " jb has to be ported over at the moment which naturally leads to glitches such as the restarts" is Greek to me. Are you saying that since it is not an official JB update, there will always be glitches? um...ok.
Yes, I have a few backups in there...but as I said, it is stuck in opening boot loop and I don't know how to get in there to restore or flash another ROM. I may be missing a simple fix here but until I know what it is, I don't know what it is. I have used search under boot loop, for an hour and have not found one thread explaining how to get out of it.
Hopefully someone will excuse my ignorance and point me to a thread or explanation of how to get past the boot loop.
Cheers
do you know how to boot into recovery?
if you can, then do that, and restore one of your backups..
if you dont know how to boot into recovery, you shouldn't be flashing roms until you do
AFAIK that means pressing volume up, home, and power until recovery lights up. Done that many times and all I get is the intermittent vibe, no flash, no screen at all.
I've poured over threads and google all day...no love. Just people telling me to restore my backups...gee thanks.
I CAN get it into Odin....can I flash a ROM from there? I followed one tutorial but when selecting a ROM, it wanted a tar file and I either had the ROM zip or unzipped, a bunch of folders with no tar file in any of them.
I'm not a moron, just screwed myself somehow and am looking for some help fixing it. I thought that's what these forums were for.
hold volume up and down and power at the same time; after the first "samsung" on the screen, release the power button, and keep holding the volume up and down, until recovery appears...
XDA is a development forum, not a newbie forum, and there is an assumption that people who flash stuff to their phones will have the basic knowledge to know how to recover from some of the problems that arise when you do something to your phone that requires the knowledge on how to fix things
The fact that you dont know how to get into recovery properly tells me you didnt bother to read and study enough on how to recover from a problem if you have one, sort of like trying to replace your water pump without actually practicing on a car..
search the forums if you need to find .tar files to restore your phone via Odin back to stock; there are several posts and threads that will show you how, but, try to recover your back up first
This ^^^^^. You have jumped into the deep end without knowing how to swim. Watch videos, read how-to's and look up words if you don't understand them. A basic knowledge of computer hardware and how a computer works pre-boot will also go a long way

It means there is no official jelly bean for the note at this time. Our devs have to take jelly bean code and modify it to work on the note which generally means a few hickups here and there.

Well thank you all for the help you have given. I was not releasing the power button after the first Samsung flash and thus not finding recovery. I have a functioning phone now, at least. I do, dig deep trying to find answers, and only post when I am truly stuck.
glad you got it fixed!
