I rooted my phone. After a while( i didn't tweak it at all) i booted it and it started boot looping. Can i fix this?
PS I only changed the way it booted and i put nyan cat :3. I sent it the the store and it said that i will need 110 euros for a new motherboard.
Hi,
If you were told your motherboard needs replacing, I'd get a second opinion..... But that may very well be your only option if they are correct.
I will have your thread moved to your device section for other opinions.
Good luck!

I just got a new samsung vibrant and I hate the Stock UI so I wanted to root and drop a mod on it. Rooted no problem then remembered a friend with a Galaxy S phone told me he really loved this one Rom. so I snagged it and flashed it without even thinking about the fact that his phone is a Captivate.
That went awful, screen orientation, home, menu, return buttons were all screwy. But I used ODIN to return to stock as per the Development forum here in XDA. Now however, my phone says ATT World Phone as the first thing during boot sequence. Even putting on a new rom with a custom boot animation doesn't change a thing.
Any suggestions how I might go about fixing this?

did you ODIN fully? does the bootanimation INCLUDE the ATT world phone part?
Helpin another guy with basically the same problem...

you probably used AT&T stock file when u Odin'ed....read those (well mostly the bottom one) and it should get u back to T-Mobile stock
@xrider Can you define fully? I used the Pit file and the Tar file, attached my phone in dl mode. Clicked start and let it go till it rebooted my phone and told me it was done.
@fearless That second link is what I've been working from, I've been using the T959UVJFD.tar
Here's the exact boot up process,
1) ATT World Phone logo
2) Vibrant / Samsung logo
3) T-mobile sound and animation
4) Swirly Galaxy S logo
5) at main locked screen going through media checks and aquiring signal
something in that Captivate ROM must have really screwed up stuff....i'm thinking the playlogos file got tampered with when you flashed that Captivate ROM....but ODIN would've restored it back to normal....i'll do some more searching....
Thanks, if it helps any, this is the ROM I flashed the first time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877
Ok, so Monday I had my Galaxy set up with Dorimanx kernel 7.22 dual booting 4.1.2 RR (1st ROM) and SalmanROM V4.2.(2nd ROM). I decided to remove the 2nd ROM and went to dual boot options in Recovery mode to remove it, however the phone got stuck while formatting data. I Restarted the phone in Recovery and was able to do a backup but when trying to access the internal SD card I got the error can't mount emmc/.
After reading a bit here: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) I found that my phone was soft bricked and had NAND rw corruption. I followed the steps but was not able to flash the recovery files or the kernel alone, I was only able to succesfully flash the bootloader but once I did that I tried the kernel again and had no luck. I decided to do it again and flashed the bootloader, Odin displayed it was completed and the phone rebooted, only that this time it didn't turn on.
Now my phone is basically dead, it doesn't turn on, it is not recognized by PC/Odin. I ordered a USB Jig which is supposed to arrive next week to see if that can revive it but looking around the web I'm seeing a guy selling an S2 for basically $100 dlls., the phone turns on you can hear the music when booting, rings when you call, only that the screen stays black. Seeing that my S2 might have a damaged motherboard this could help me fix it for less than what Samsung might charge me (I got the phone used so it doesn't have warranty)
My question is, should I wait for the jig to try and revive the phone? What chances do I have ? or should I get the spare one and replace the motherboard?
Thanks for helping!
USB Jig did not work, I will need a JTAG. Can anyone recommend me a good one? I've seen this one http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/ seems reliable but I want a second opinion.
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section, but I am a brand new member and can't post in the developers' section if I was supposed to. Also, I need help ASAP
So I rooted my AT&T LG Optimus G with no problem. Then went to unlock the bootloader. I decided to pay the dollar to get the app that does it for you. So I ran it and it said I successfully unlocked my device. Well I went to reboot into fastboot mode and the LG logo flashed on my screen and just went to black. It won't do anything more than that. I can't get into recover, fastboot, or any other screen. That's it. Am I SOL? Did I really mess my device up?
Please help! Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I have no idea what I did but somehow managed to boot into fastboot mode and went to CWM and installed The Base just fine. I have no idea what happened but I am soooooo happy right now.
EDIT 2: Maybe I spoke too soon. I started running "The Base" and went it prompted me saying it's gonna restart my device, it did and the screen is black again (The same black that appeared after my LG logo from before)
EDIT 3: So I decided to run it again and this time, I picked the other kernel. It booted up fine this time. All is well.
If you run into anymore problems, there is a program available in this irc channel. It is used to restore a bricked phone.

Hi,
I have a cracked screen, so I bought a bricked S2 off gumtree. I'm having a go at getting it to run again. So far all I know is that the previous owner was in the middle of flashing Odin, it said that the flash failed, and then he was unable to boot the phone any more. No powerup, no vol+home+power. No nothing.
The guy seems straight-up, I've no reason to suspect any more damage than reported. I've been in contact with him after the sale, and gave him a guilt-free opportunity to fess up in case he had done anything else.
I made a microUSB jig, and had a go with that, but no luck.
Is there anything else I can try?
--------
Secondary question (if I can't get the new phone up and running) - changing over the screens: would I dismantle both phones and move the screen from the new brick to my phone? or would I move the motherboard from the old/cracked to the new?
are you sure that you made e good JIG
if not, buy one
if it doesn't help and doesn't boot at all....it's dead
Hey guys,
I woke up the other morning with my S9+ rebooting every other second or so. The screen loads the "Samsung Galaxy S9" powered by knox screen and then reboots right away. I can get into download mode easily and can even access the safemode/reformat screen with some luck (if I let the battery drain I can usually pull this off if I plug in the phone and immediately try). I have tried resetting to factory defualt, loading in safe mode, normal boot, and reflashing the official ROM. No matter what I do, the behavior persists. Verizon is sending a new phone, but it won't get here before I leave for a business trip and there is that inside of me that wants to be able to fix this with my own two hands. Any advice? I used the verizon ROM off of sammobile if that is helpful and odin gave me the green light.
nooooo ! I can't believe it !!! we are damned !
I went from galaxy S3-4G (bootloop issues due to bad internal memory chip) ..... to LG G4 (had the f.ing LG bootloop) .... and now S9+ and THIS ?!?
Sorry guy, if bootlooping and you did nothing to get there just before the issue (no flash, no update, no nothing), then it's faulty hardware, nothing to do about it :/

Thanks for the candid response. I'll have to figure some way to get a temporary phone for my trip.
Boot-loop nightmare
I got a new S9 3 days ago and am now on my 3rd new S9. The previous two wanted me to update my system- a a security update. With both phones it sent it into a boot-loop that no one could flash or hard re-set, even when I took the phone back to the store I bought it from. I have the update set to later on my 3rd new S9... afraid to hit update for fear of it happening again. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I run my business off my phone so I would like to use it (;
I didn't transfer over any of my apps from previous phones! Puzzled. Help.
