Today i woke up to the new Update for the vibrant. So of course i tried to update it. My phone is rooted if that makes a difference running everything else stock though. I did the one click root or whatever it was. Well i clicked update and sat my phone down as i got ready. Come back its at the boot screen where it says Vibrant and Samsung in white. I figured it was just loading the new files and just taking a little long. Well by the time i got to school it was still like that so i removed the battery so it would not overheat. Replaced the battery booted up and stalled on boot screen again. This time it made the opening music but never transitioned screens. So i took battery out replaced it and went into clockwork and did a nandroid. Reset it same thing happened. Tried that with three of my backups of previous dates. all failed. so i decided to wipe all data of the phone or factory reset. still stuck at boot screen.
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. if you need any other information just let me know.
same thing here. i've done all those steps. when i get home, im going to try and update the JI6 update through ODIN. i'll let you know what happens.
Common problem, easy solution..

Hello there.
First of all, hi, I'm Filipe and I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Ace a couple weeks ago, my first Android.
SecondlyI am completely new to this world and a lot of friends told me to come and register here should I want to learn about Rooting, ROMs and what not. They also told me to come here if I had any problem with the phone.
So far I didn't had much time to learn about ROMs and etc but today I got a large overview of it through a friends explanation, which is why I didn't came here before. But some days ago I started having problems with my phone. I googled an answer, I "androidpt.com"ed an answer, I even searched here and I have found either no solution or no one in certain forums with this problem.
Here's whats happening:
A couple of days ago, I was 'playing' with the phone when it suddently shuts down. After turning it back on, nothing seemed to have happened. Until I tried to install something. From that day on, I can only install certain apps. The others just won't install. This is what happens (I'd take a print screen but I can't install any print screen app, LOL):
1- I click the APP I'm trying to install.
2- I click on "Install" when it asks me if I want to install the APP.
3- The screen says "Installing" and has a tiny green moving bar bellow it, for about half a second.
4- After that half a second, it instantly says "Application not installed", leaving me with a single button to exit.
And that's it. I just can't install anything.
Solutions tried:
- First I tried a soft reset.
- Then I tried a SD reset.
- Then I went to the store where I bought it and they did a hard reset.
- Then I tried to hard reset it again.
- Then I tried Rooting it.
- And I'm finally trying to see if you guys solve it here..
- The last option will be heading to Samsung's large store here in Portugal but this will make me lose it for several days, and I was told you could probably fix this.
Ah well, hoping for a positive answer.
Kind Regards,
Filipe
I'm guessing there are no solutions then?
Maybe the app is for root users??

Well I have it rooted, I tested installing stuff with it rooted, and unrooted, so it doesn't seem to be from that, but thanks for trying!
Any other possible solutions? This is getting really annoying, can't even take screenshots of my screen or install most games.
You should try to reflash you FW, it will be better then hard or soft reset.

And to take screen captures, you don't need any app, just press and keep pressed the back button and then the home button, both together, you will here the camera sound and a warning on the screen will show you where the file got saved.
Yup reflash your phone. Also you can take screenshot with a stock service. Hold the back soft button and press on your home middle button.

Have you try to delete the temp file that can block installations? I had same problem and i delete the temp file and after that it was ok.

Hey!
Dose you CHECK the box in MENU>APPLICATIONS>UNKNOWN SOURCES?
CHEERS!
Anyone that asking in the forum and read ur post should be ashamed of themself, the details is well complete. This is how people should be posting when seeking for answer of their problem
Btw flashing seems a good way to solve this. Maybe ur system somehow got corrupted when it autoreboot that u mention.

Hi, I am having the same problem....
I brought my ace locked to 3, got it unlocked (simlock) then rooted it using Super One Click V1.9.5 Short fuse. The phone is running 2.2.1 Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
If I remove the memory card, then re-boot, I can install apps from market place.... for a while, then I just get the "failed to install message" and I have to remove the card and reboot
One thing to mention, I was already running a Galaxy Europa (I5500) and I am using the memory card from this phone, to try and install some of the apps from, maybe this has something to do with the problem?
I have downloaded the AceVillanRom and was goin to give this a go, do you think this will sort the problem?
Thanks for looking

If the system is able to read memory card...then probably its not a problem...trying flashing to a new rom..hope this works..also before using memory card just format it and then try...
OK. I have had my Atrix 4G since it first came out. I rooted it and installed apps and made customizations to it, etc.
I never installed a custom ROM since the tweaks I made fit my taste enough to not need to install a custom ROM. I have thought of it...but that is for another time.
Anyways, I recently changed fonts on using FontChanger and everything was working fine. However, last night I decided to change to another font and after rebooting my phone, I am now stuck in the ever so pleasant "Boot Loop".
I have tried wiping and restoring back to factory defaults, which appeared to work, but once I start going thru the process of setting up the phone and getting to the "home" page, the phone will suddenly automatically reboot and start to loop again. I can perform a reset which allows me to go thru the setup process again, but it suddenly reboots again after a few minutes.
I am guessing that perhaps the font is still causing problems, but I am not sure how to check to see if that is the case or not.
I have looked at other boot loop threads but I keep getting a bit confused as to what I should attempt or not attempt to do. It seemed to me that loading the 1.2.6 SBF might be my answer, but I have read that I could brick my phone doing that. Not to mention that some of the download links are dead....
Sorry for being yet another numbnutz and the long thread, but I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to recover!
Thanks!
Ok... So after resetting my phone a few times I noticed that it goes into the boot loop cycle once the screen shuts off/or goes into sleep mode. If I keep the system from going to sleep everything appears to work fine.
My guess is still a font issue, but I thought a factory reset would've replaced the font back to default.
Anyone experience this issue or something similar to it?
And as a second thought can someone link me to the default fonts that I can try to reload?
UPDATE: well it looks like i am good to go again. It just occured to me that I can just download and use FontChanger to replace the bad font with the stock font. i let me phone go to standby mode and it didnt boot loop.
MODERATOR - Please feel free to close this thread as I believe I solved my own problem.
Hi all,
I've managed to royally mess up my Galaxy S2, and I could really do with a bit of help! It was running a rooted stock rom.
The problem started when I attempted to install the Orange Signal Booster using instructions from this thread. I think the killer was replacing default.prop in system.
At this point the phone would crash a couple of seconds after the unlock screen appeared. I could get as far as dragging down and clicking settings before the entire thing hangs. I got similar results in safe mode. I also tried wiping cache etc in CWM but to no avail. I'm backed up, so I tried a factory reset, but I'm having a similar issue. The language selection screen appears, I press start and the phone freezes again.
I'd really appreciate some help!
BTW, my phone's USB port doesn't work so I'm looking for a solution that can be done within recovery. This is a separate issue and I believe it is unrelated as I have managed fine for over a year.
With a dead usb port you're pretty much screwed. The best and fail proof solution is to reflash stock rom using odin because it will wipe and reflash all partitions that were used before.
Hey!
So I have been using an android phone from 3 years now and I have been stuck in an huge problem! And I need your help in order to solve this problem. Here is the problem so basically I have a Freetel nico (Japanese brand) which is about 3 to 4 years now running on top of stock kitkat rom or in other words the same rom when I unboxed it. After few months my screen cracked on the bottom near the capacitive touch keys. After the crack the home buttom stopped working! I was all okay with that and the next day my notification panel started glitching and stopped showing any notifications which was really annoying. Now I knew that there some serious problem, so I taught of resetting the phone so I went in the setting and tried factory reset. After few minutes it didn't go to system recovery but the phone just restarted itself. I tried it once again and got the same problem, next step I had was to hard reset it by going into the recovery. When I hold the button and let go it didn't take me to the recovery this time also. So in conclusion I came to know that there was no recovery inside the phone (I did erase the phone through recover about 2 times before this incident everything went well during that time). Moving on I rooted the phone and installed SuperSU and other softwares that could install recovery mode to the phone. I got the same result this time also, I also tried installing a different rom through the stock system update app same result.... After a year of all this work I taught it would be best just giving it to the company service center but I came to know that the company had no longer selling this device and there is no service available .
After all of that tries above I still continued to solve this problem I tried ADB resetting it through pc no luck here also! So if you guys could recommend me some apps or softwares I could try in order to reset my phone please do let me know in the comments. Or you could also ask any scripts that you want to know from the phone which could solve the problem I can do that also!
Thank you
Darshan
