Hi guys!
i just wanted to ask you a question: yesterday i tried to install the floyo rom but i guess something went wrong..after installing the rom via rom manager during the first boot the phone got stuck loading the new rom..it keeps showing "floyo" on the screen but nothing happens...it just keeps loading and loading and loading....is there any way i can boot the phone using the factory presets or something?
thx a lot
HI,
You're not in the right forum section to ask this, but anyway.
That problem could occur time to time, in fact, I had it several times. But don't need to worry, if you're phone is still booting, that's not a big problem then.
What you can do is reflash the rom like you did the first time.
But first, May I suggest you to check if you're phone is actually stock by using logcat ? Because the first boot can be quite long (in my case, it takes around 10~12 min). To do so, use your usb cable, go to command prompt and type
adb logcat
if there are things on the screen, and if that screen is moving, then just be patient...

OK. Open the back of your phone, remove the battery.
Replace the battery and you can try to boot your phone again.
Or you can directly boot into recovery. From this place you have choice to rewipe everything and reflash the rom. Or you can just load your nandroid backup; I assume you made one, did you?
boot your phone with the home button pressed(so press the home key, press hang up(so he will start) and after 10 seconds or so you're in the recovery menu
As above really..
Remove battery, then turn back on holding power and the home button.
This should bring you to the recovery ROM, in their, you can wipe your phone clean, and re flash a new ROM.
If you want to put a new ROM on your SD, you can mount the SD Via USB from the Recovery Menu, or just remove the SD and put in a card reader.
Then wipe/flash new ROM.
From your first post im guessing you tried to install Floyo? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784689&page=146 ?

hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

jje
so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything
>>>>next time try to look up a guide on how to get into cwm recovery<<<<

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

I installed the black update for my 920 & afterwards it completely froze up at the lock screen. So I rebooted it using the held down power button & down volume key method & the same thing happened & kept happening no matter how many times I tried this. So I tried powering it off in small moment it was active & the same thing happened it froze on shutdown with the goodbye message now permanently stuck on the screen.
Anyone know how I can recover my 920 in these circumstances?

I wondered why it happened is the install corrupted?
maybe some error on memory or maybe battery is low and during flashing shut down phone... this happened to some people...

if you did the OTA update, after the first reboot, it then loads the initial lock screen, you should have been able to unlock it. At this point you'll get a screen that says "migrating data" This usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how much storage you have in use. Then it reboots again and you're up an running.
May have just been a bad / corrupt file, but the manual flash should fix everything.
I wonder if it was because I got a service message from my network at the same time as it saw it as a new handset.
Sorry for the double post but just to say NSU did the trick oddly it didn't install the latest software as afterwards it was still saying there was an update to install on the phone update on the phone itself. Would think this update would come from the same servers.
Guys can yo tell me what are the differences between plain custom ROM and Roger's ROM..
Well I tried to do the update twice more with the same result each time.
Anyone any ideas on this?

No. Unless you count any slow trickle charge from the PC whilst flashing. TBH because of all the reboots I had lost track of the battery charge on the last flashing attempt.
Latest is on the latest flashing attempt it updated it to Black over NSU. Some of the apps seem OK, some open but freeze & others such as the camera & messaging seem to be missing. Also every time I turn it off it freezes up & has to be rebooted.
Just what is going on with it?
Is there anyway of getting the NSU to re-install the Amber software rather than keep trying to upgrade to the Black version?

Yes it may be that you were no outdated. NSU re-install the latest version available of your Hard Product Code of your device, since/from the Nokia Server. But that does not mean that you have the latest update as Lumia Black, for example.

Roger's is the official rom for devices sold by Roger's, custom is the rom developed by people unofficially authorized by Micro$soft or Nokia.
Hi all, I have tried to unlock my galaxy S3 gt i 9300, which is locked to O2 UK. I live in Ireland and bought the phone from a guy on e bay. I got the unlock code from two different sources and both are the same, but neither will unlock the phone, I have tried the unfreeze code too but it gets me nowhere. Entering the keyboard codes does not work either. The firmware baseband version which is on the phone at present is I9300XXUGMK6, the build number is JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5, I feel that if I can get the phone back to it's original O2 UK firmware then I might be able to unlock the thing. My problem is that I have found I9300XXALE8_I9300O2UALE5_O2U to be the original firmware, but the link to it from every site is dead and I cannot download it, all the links were to hotfile and we all know what became of it. If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I might unlock my phone then I would be more than happy to try them.
Best wishes Wez
Flash the latest o2u, root it with cf autoroot, nvdata unlock method. Do not attempt to go back from 4.3 as you will half cabbage your phone. The efs changed.

Many thanks I will try that now and let you know how I get on, though the guy I got the second code from tells me the phone should not be rooted, if it is he says that the code will not work. But anything is worth a try so I will try it before I root the phone.
Thanks again best wishes Wez

At the risk of sound stupid, I am going to ask one question, where do I find said latest stock ROM for my O2 UK S3, because all the ones I find are not on any link that works, they nearly all try to send me to hotfile, would seem that nobody has taken the trouble to put up any mirror download links, which has left me very frustrated. Hope someone can please point me in the right direction, because I have a phone which is of no use to me.
Best wishes and good luck Wez

Samsung updates are always on slow hosts. It costs a lot of money to hire server space and free hosts that do over a Gb is as rare as hens teeth.. how did you get on?

Many thanks to all who helped with my problem, I managed to get my s3 unlocked, just need to get it rooted now and get rid of the stupid thing keeps going to safe mode when booted normally, but if I boot whilst holding the home key (the middle one at the bottom) then the phone will try to boot into download mode, I then hit the volume down button and hole the home key again, this time the phone reboots itself and will boot into a non safe mode. Though this is not ideal and someone needs to find a cure for this, it is better than nothing. Tried to flash the resurrection remix ROM, but it stopped when a bit was done and failed will try some other custom ROM when I get the chance, at the moment my phone is keeping going back to the recovery screen.
Will let you know what happens, best wishes Wez

To get out of the recovery boot lock I had to leave the phone with the battery out of it for about 5 minutes, I was then able to get into download mode, by booting with the volumes down and home buttons held. I then used Odin to reflash the stock firmware again, which it did OK.Then I needed to root the phone again so I did that. I then downloaded the Android Revolution DH-SGS3, moved it to the external SD card, rebooted into recovery and flashed it to the phone, but again the phone went into it's crazy recovery boot loop, at the moment I have the battery out of kit and will try replacing it now and booting into the new ROM. It appears to be booting into the rom now, it has been on the Samsung screen for a while now and I am hoping that it will boot into the rom given a little time, this being it's first boot. OK all booted up OK, the only problem that remains is the bleeding thing booting into safe mode, but lots of people have got that.
Happy days, best wishes Wez
I have never encountered that issue before. When exactly did the boot issue start?

The boot issue started after I had tried to flash with another rim, which I feel was not fully downloaded, at any rate the flash was abandoned and when I went back through the options and hit the reboot now, it went into the loop. I had to remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes, less might have done, when I reinstalled the battery, I went into download and using Odin flashed the phone with a stock rom and rooted it, then I flashed the android revelation rom, the phone again got stuck on the loop, this time I took the battery out the phone and left it, again for about 5 minutes, then replaced the battery and hit the power button and the phone booted into the rom, after a few minutes. I have been using this rom for a while now, but have noticed that for some reason the sound, for everything goes of completely, nit found a cure for that yet, but I am downloading the Echoe rom now, it will soon be finished, and I am going to flash it as soon as I can. I have the Echoe rom on my SGS4 and like it very much. I shall let you know if I have the same problem with this rom, when I flash it, the loop that is.

The Echoe ROM flashed without any further loop and to my surprise the phone did not boot into safe mode, so an improvement there, with both. But the sound is still a problem. I have since the first boot had to reboot several times and the damned thing is back to the bloody safe mode. To get round it now I have to hold the volume down, the home and power keys, to take me to the screen for download, when there I push the volume down and the phone goes to reboot, in it's own, while it is doing that I hold the home button, the phones boots without going into safe mode. I have tried to do it the way I was before, but it is not working that way now, so got to go down the way of booting into the download screen, but at least it works.
Very best wishes and good luck Wez
Interesting.. it would seem that the issue lies with custom roms. Which recovery are you using? Cwm 6032 is a good recovery to start with, moving on to 6047. I had issues with twrp.

Dear all,
Please advise me with following problem.
I checked the forum but but didn't find same issue.
I have Lenovo P780, Android 4.4.2, assembly VIBEUI_V2.0_1447_7.48.1_ST_P780_baralajbi.
The thing is, that after restarting phone MOSTLY doesn't reboot (I must try it approx 20 times to reboot properly). Either the LENOVO logo depicts on the display or display becomes gray. Sometimes phone reboots, but after inserting PIN the message "Unfortunately System UI has Stopped." starts appearing in loop (each approx one second), so it's impossible to do anything on the phone. (And after another several tries it reboots normally. When it reboots NORMALLY, it plays starting melody with the logo - other times not.)
Before this unhappy state, problems started gradually by frequent crashing various apps (e.g. system web browser; "Unfortunately app XY has Stopped.") and by spontaneous restarts. I tried cache deletion and factory reset, but problems persist. It means that some apps crash after launching them AND phone can restart anytime and then it can take maybe one hour to boot Android properly.
Only solution that comes to my mind is to reinstall Android (it's question which RAM to use). But before that I'd like to ask for potential advice and experiences - what could be the cause and how to solve the problem. By the way, to actualize Android is also impossible, because the app crashes Deleting cache in case of particular apps also doesn't work.
Thank you in advance!

Hi.
What you have to do is:
1. Go to this post and download your phone firmware!
2. Go to this post and download latest MIUI from Bodia Kolibass in Mirror 9! You will fint in that folder Latest Kernel and i hope latest TWRP.
3. Read twice every tutorial and after reading twice try to flash all those things!
4. Reading twice is not optional!
5. After every install do at least one boot. Example: One boot after flash, One boot after instal MIUI.
6. After installing MIUI and boot at least once go to wifi and connect your phone. After that go to updater and look for update. Install update, boot at least once.
7. After the update is installed you are ready to use the phone.
7. If you have any problem PM me!
8. If this small tutorial helped you... press thanks button so everyone to know that this can help them too!

Hi stympy,
Thank you for your answer.
I'm just not 100% sure, which version (CN or ROW) should I use. I'm not able to find answer on internet. I have chinese letters on the battery and somehow I remember that it should mean that CN version is correct. Is it so please?
Thanks!

Hi. I used CN version of the firmware and worked well.
Like: all things are... Made in China... today... :laugh:
Soo... I know for sure that the ONLY difference between CN and ROW phones are the modems.
In all countries except China phones are sold for ROW version of the firmware.
Conclusion: you can use both of them.
But do not use ROW install firmware over CN base firmware. Use CN on CN and ROW on ROW.
For modem software you will find a post in General section named: How about some modems.
Read the tutorial from there.
Good luck.

Yes,
that is what I mean. I don't know whether my base firmaware is CN or NOW. I bought this P780 from smaller eshop several years ago. Sometimes there appears a notice in chinese language, looking like clothes advertisement.
(Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/row-cn-how-to-check-t3333532
you answered that man that he has CN firmware. I have also VIBEUI......baraljabi.)
Do these things mean I have CN base firmware?
Thank you!

Thank you.
I downloaded CN, read some tutorials, installed USB drivers from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202 (I have no idea whether MTK_USB__Driver installed and where, after install I cant find any change) and tried to run SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. But the tool doesn't recognize my phone. I have Windows XP.
When I turn phone on and connect, I am able to access both SD Card and Phone memory via PC, but when I turn it off, press Download in SPFT and connect the phone, it just starts to charge and nothing other happens. In the log there is repeatedly written "Scaning USB port failed!".
I spent quite a lot time looking for some solution. Do you please have an idea how to actualize the firmware?
Thanks!

Look here
On post #19.
Tell me if this dont work !
Thank you. All works well up to point C.8. After I connect the phone I get error
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032).
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!
[HINT]: Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
As a solution I found trying another firmware (or scatter file). Now I used CN+ 4GB VIBEUI_V2.0.rar. Do you please know what can be reason for this error?
(Also since this error I'm not able to turn the phone in any way.)
Thanks

Are you sure that your phone is 4Gb? Maybe is 8Gb? I am asking this just to be sure! If you know for sure that is 4Gb you should try SP Flash Tool v. 3! Sometimes, I don't know why, it works with this version of SP Flash Tool.
And none more thing.... try to quote me. I'll answer more faster.
Good luck.

Now I am not able to check it, but 99% I have 4GB.
One thing I didn't write before - after that unsuccessful try phone looks like to be uncharged - even if battery was nearly fully charged before. Interesting.
Anyways - after trying v.3 the process ended successfully. But after that phone is still dead - I can't power it on. I send the logs attached.
Maybe most interesting is message repeating in SP_FLASH_TOOL.log:
ERROR: OperationIndicator::QueryDADLHint(): da_dl_type(??) error, could not find DA download hint!(.\OperationIndicator.cpp,98)
Do you please understand this?
I admit I googled it just a little
Thank you.

Sooo....
Ok. You must tell me if you still have the original box of the phone!
If you have it look on the side and see if your phone is made after 03.2014 or on 03.2014.
If the answer is yes you must repeat the flashing procedure with the new preloader.
Here is the new preloader.
Replace the preloader in your folder and delete any *.ini file if you have one there!
Good Luck!

OK, at home I will try to find it.
But I don't understand under which condition I need to use new preloader - if phone is made on 03.2014?
Thank you!

On and after 03.2014.
My advice is to use the new preloader anyway.

Good,
it works now. Thank you!
So, now I should install newest TWRP and MIUI. Before it I'd like to ask some things to be sure I understand what I do.
That new TWRP is just because of MIUI, without it the current version of TWRP would be good enough?
Why need I to install MIUI? Is it more stable than current software? (Now phone looks like being usable again.)
After having the newest TWRP, shall I follow by making backup, copying the MIUI files to SD card and install via TWRP? (there are tutorials, but still I'm not sure about these basic things).
Thank you

You are right. The old Kitkat software becomes unstable after a period of time.
MIUI is still under development. You will get updates a period of time.
Latest TWRP have less bugs.
And he. Before one major change I recommend a full backup.... this backup is for.... just in case...
If you follow the steps there, you will get the perfect results. The steps are tested and redone over the last years.
If you have MIUI questions we will move our q&a in the right post... MIUI post i mean....
Good luck.

OK. I installed MIUI, rebooted and then installed also kernel. Is there big difference beetwen this kernel and kernel included in MIUI? (If you know.)
You wrote "6. After installing MIUI and boot at least once go to wifi and connect your phone. After that go to updater and look for update. Install update, boot at least once." When I try to install update it never starts to download. (It writes "Waiting for connection" in "Downloaded" section.) Do you please know what can be the cause?
Additionally, for sure: Can't that update overwrite the new kernel?
Anyways THANK YOU!!!
My phone is alive again.

For the part with kernel... I never thought to look for that...
For the part with update... i think... something is wrong... it seems to me that your phone is reacting like is on mobile data.
This is not a big thing... try to go to download icon, enter, go to download settings an see what is going on there...
Sometimes, I don't know why, the phone react like is on mobile data... when is on wifi...
After an while or after one reboot the phone will download the update.
I have to apologise to you, but what I am writing now is from my experiences with this phone. I do not have the phone no more.
I have now Lenovo P1 Pro.
Good luck.

OK, it looks like system update shouldn't overwrite custom kernel. Anyways the update doesn't download (it tries to download to phone memory instead of SD card, although I set it, but still there should be enough space in phone memory; neither I wasn't successfull when downloading it directly on PC).
I will wait and see.
So, thank you for all your help!!
I consider this thing as closed.
