Hi,
I'm not a developer so sorry if my questions sound basic but I much appreciate your help.
I have a big issue with my GT-i9000 (which works well until now).
It gets into boot loop - when trying to start up it doesn't get through the screen GT-i9000 (every time goes black screen and so on).
I read various discussions here that indicate it could be a bootloop issue that I can fix with Odin and certain fix file that I can't find active source to download it (most of the posts were a few years back).
Also I'm not familiar at all with Odin, adb and other similar softwares and terms, and certain explanations here sound very complicated to me.
I don't want to go through such fix process and to found out later that all of the media files were deleted.
Can you please instruct me how can I fix it at the most simple way (again, I'm not an expert)?
Also, is there a possibility to copy the media files that I have in the phone to my computer and to somehow bypass the loop issue? (without going through Odin etc.)
Anyway I have another phone so if this one will stop working but still I can save all the files I can live with that (of course I prefer this phone will also work).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Thomas
Can you please respond?
It's very urgent, any response will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello folks,
Generally loving my Vibrant, of course hungry for Froyo. I have two Vibrants, the first I've been using and have modded it with root and other enhancements. I gave the other phone to a friend as a gift, but when I wanted to root theirs using the same method I've used on multiple occasions, it would NOT boot into the recovery mode. I use the UP + DOWN push, plus the power button. No dice, just get the cheesy "come together" Tmobile screen, I tried up, down, waited for the Samsung to flash twice, no dice. It was not that complicated on my phone and I can continue to do so. I have looked up threads and there is suspicion that T Mobile disabled this on later vesrions? This version was shipped to me slightly after my own, within a week or so.
It would be disheartening if I couldn't root and make his phone more efficient to deal with the battery hog issues as well as other enhancments. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I've treid multiple combinations and never get into the utility/recovery screen.
Any thoughts on this? I tried rooting before that with the Ryan one click lag fix, and it seemed to indicate it was done,b ut then Iwhen I opened ROM manager, it said it was not rooted yet. Then when I tried the one click app fix again, it mentioned it couldn't because soemthing about the SD card mounting,etc. I could put the stock PIT file on it via ODIN could I not? But I dont' want to go to all that hassle if it's something else. Is there a another app solution that can root for you? I can mount and drag the update zip there, but can't get tot he screen to reinstall packages.
Hopefully TMobile isn't stripping this down so we can't customize and it's something else but I'm trying all combinations short of doing the hokey pokey.
Thanks in advance!

Samsung Vibrant
Apparently either Samsung or Tmobile are having the option disabled via the normal ways to get into recovery. There are numerous other threads regarding this throughout the forums detailing other peoples experiences regarding this.
Take a look here for one:

Join the club. I'm on my third vibrant with this same issue. I am returning it this week for a refund. My first....and last samsung phone.
thank you guys, I was afraid of that. one of the phones greatest assets was it's hackability. Froyo had better do something with battery consumption, speed, etc, or this phone will be a great screen and not much more. boo to hardware lockdowns! let the hackers hack and if you want to void the warranty, do it. I'll see about this ADB mode, I'm wondering if someone can create an app that would successfully root so ROM manager will work. I wonder why the one click fix lag app, which supposedly roots, did not. It seems like an overall lock down on this access?
At any rate, I'll try the other options but it's looking like more and more, my buddy will be a slave to Samsung release timeframe, and thats assuming froyo and updates will fix significant bugs and improve battery life.
thanks again guys! I'll keep trying.
And what about the download mode, can you get in it?
not sure, you mean the little digging android feller? I will try that, I gave the phone to my friend but sent him the page in this thread earlier regarding multiple attempts to get into either / or mode. would that actaully help install the packages aka root the phone? I only used that last time to reinstall via Odin, the T Mobile factory build because it was soft bricked due to a bad lag fix that froze the phone on the Samsung logo.
download mode , can that get it rooted? Or just wanting to know if all hardware access has been blocked?"

Yeah, that the digging guy. It won't help you to get rooted, but i can't get in download mode, so if you can advise me how can i do that, i appreciate
I am sure by now you have caught some of my posts floating around the forum in a near panic with confusion. Here are the steps I have taken followed by the issue I am dealing with. I understand I may have taken these steps out of order and am very interested in getting some detailed help on how to fix the issue I am in.
Starting with a fresh stock Atrix I..
Step 1 - Ran Adeo for version 0.1 I downloaded all of the drivers correctly from the MobileTech video website however I honestly don't know what this even means.
Step 2 - Rooted using Super Once click.
Step 3 - I tried to install the Gingerbread theme but after much frustration and many failed attempts I found out I suffer from the missing ADBD file.. I read the thread and it said to download the file unzip it and add it to SBIN.. I have done this countless times and my phone is still unreadable but AROOT, Super once click and Adeo installer..
Rebooting removes the file as mentioned in that thread but I can never actually get anything to recognize my device while the file is in there.
I am set to USB connection NONE and using the Debugging setting in the ON position.
At this point I want to start all over.. Completely go back to stock and then try again, maybe not even that.. I am very turned off of this experience and am starting to get worried considering the investment in this phone I have. (Full Retail)
I understand many people on this forum are not only busy but do no suffer from this problem but I have also seen some incredible help given so as always anyone who is willing to help me just know it will be very appreciated. Thanks!

At a glance I would try looking into the adb offline issue [fixed] thread in this section. though thats from the glance over what you seem to behaving and use aroot, superoneclick is sai by some devs to make a mess of things.
Sadly this is my actual problem. I do suffer from the missing ADBD file however unlike others in that thread I am unable to get anything to work after adding the file back in.
Someone has to have a solution to this. I know my OP is long but I'm at a loss here.

At this point I would be willing to make a hefty donation to a devs paypal to help solve my issue.
Would anyone at least be able to offer advice on what to do from this point forward? Thanks

Hello, after playing with a tablet I got boot loop so below is solution for this.
This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-...ps-navigator-ultra-slim-wifi-8gb-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.
Sek
im pretty sure you need a 3rd party application to flash that firmware, i think you load the .img file into the software on your pc, connect tablet in flash/recovery mode then flash it that way, dont know which software you would need to use though , sorry i cant help further
There is link to rar package http://db.tt/jm7eHfbq
If there is someone who wants to spend some time... Please help.
Bump
Some new infos:
As far I found out tablet is detectable during boot in adb, but it stays in boot loop. I think I've got right usb drivers.
I tried unyaffs the .img file using C:/unyaffs/unyaffs pw08.img but it shows file corrupted (might be wrong method?).
Logcat attached.
Maybe there is someone who will find what it's missing...
I see there is nobody who can help me, so... If some of u have similar problem with chinese tablet- bootloop, can't flash it with LiveSuit our update from sdcard, I found solution which worked for me. Using adb, pulled catalog /dev/data/ to hard disk, then deleted all dalvik cache, installed by me apps and almost every other file from /data on my hard disk. Then typed adb remount, then adb shell rm -r /dev/data/* to delete all data catalog on tablet. Then pushed /data catalog from my hard disk to tablet, and finally adb reboot. And it WORKS! Booting without problems. I wasted 4 days on research how to turn it in flash mode etc. But it was very simple.
Cheers

Hi, sek111
It was necessary to use the LiveSuite to flash through usb.
Thank you very much, from your post, I found the firmware for my tablet.
An experience with another low cost tablet with Bootloop
I happen to got my tab (Wammy from WickedLeak.org) stuck in BootLoop and was struggling to get a way out for the past 3 days, checking almost all of the posts for this issue!
The tab would stuck on the android loading animation despite running for 2-3 hours and after several hard reboots, it throw-ed following error-
Encryption Unsuccessful
encrytion was interupted and cant complete. as a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible
to resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. when you set up your tab after the reset, u'll hav an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to ur google account

Despite going for the factory reset, it still didn't workout as the reset activity never completed or proceeded. I happen to be a beginner/noob and was trying my luck with possible solution but was comfortable with ADB stuff and workaround. Well i checked the solution which sek111 offered in this post and it was most closely helped me out. So i would like to Thank him a ton for sharing his solution.
Another method for few others if you don't get through the technical stuff and handling all the flashing tools, i was successful in bringing up the setting window of my tab and chose to do Reset via GUI which worked. Actually my battery got drained out to 7% and a popup message for same displayed while i was on the above error page. I selected the "check battery" option from that pop up and got my way out via factory "Backup and Reset" option under settings.
I hope this might help few people if not all! But the XDA forum is great and everyone will find a solution here. Cheers!!!
So I got this wm8850 chinese generic tablet. The camera is in the front in the middle (wide). It was shipped to me with 4.0.3 in boot loop. I soon found out that it boots into safe mode when I usb to pc. This is the furthest I've gotten with it so far. I can adb into it and have already tried to wipe data. It seems like since its from factory screwed up that a may need to reload the firmware or the os or something. Im kind of a noob because I only have my droid x. I've gotten it out of a boot loop before but I also knew what I had done to cause it so I fixed it. I tried to follow seks adb commands but im too noob to do it I guess. I was able to wipe data and dalvik-cache. Issue still occurs . If anybody can give me some adb commands than can help I would greatly appreciate it. Im fairly sure that I found the firmware elsewhere on xda. I thank you guys for any help at all you can give. I don't wanna send it back without trying everything software related as I can, but ill send it back if I can't fix it or if I brick it

i have same problem in my china mobile.. dupad k1 ... after in installed new boot screen, device stuck in boot... please help to recover my device in step by step....
can you please help me with a soft unbricking of my lg g vista (vs880 [11b]) from verizon usa? i found the 880-11b firmware file, at least i think its the right one. if you know of/ come across this and are sure of its validity i would trust that more. i found and downloaded via a google search. i initially think i may have accidentally deleted the splash pic for the carrier when it boots. this caused it to just black screen after the lg logo n the backlight would flash like it was stuck in a boot loop just the image file was missing. after a little more research i figured out how to put it in the download mode so that i can use a pc to try repair or reinstall whatever it needs. i am unsure if i need the sdk or adk toolkits for a repair in the download mode to work. while on that screen it says its plugged in and waiting to download firmware via usb under the progress bar it tells me not to unplug until download is completed. its not showing up in "my computer" however. and i've never had to do s software/firmware download or setup when the phone wasn't in full normal working order. i simply want to put back the out of the box software back in place. firmware 88011b and 4.4.2 os. just want to be sure i get the proper files/and or programs/ directions to use those resources properly the last thing i want is to guess at something that i could ask someone more experienced for help with and end up bricking it beyond repair. any and all help is very appreciated and i must ask you to please explain each step as clearly and "dumbed down" as possible as you can. if i need to use a program i've never used before {i.e. i hear things like odin mentioned in the forums but i don't understand or have any experience with any pc to phone applications so the more detailed any instructions can be made the better. anything that most ppl who have started tinkering with their devices usually know as common sense or steps that seem implied if not specifically mentioned i'll miss. i have been reading n lurking for months n managed to root the device. but had another issue i accidentally caused soon after which resulted in a factory wipe and some time to remember what i did that rooted it after spending a day on it the first time n trying many things it took me a while to refind what i had done that worked. then this happened. i'm sure with the proper files/tools it'll be fine but i need help to know what those are and to be sure i do it right the first time. i know if i don't there may not be a second chance. thank you again in advance for your patience and help.
Okay, so I apologize in advance if this cannot be posted here. My reason for doing so, is because I need some help with a Zenwatch 2 by Asus and the thread pertaining to this device seems to be a ghosttown. So if you need, please move this where it should go, but not without offering a word of advice or two first
So obviously I have a zenwatch 2, and I was tinkering with it earlier, and somehow got it stuck in CVC fastboot or something like that. I was able to get TWRP on it (Thank god, im much more optomistic now) but I am still having trouble getting an OS back on it. At first I wasnt even able to read the internal storage from my computer, or even begin to sideload anything, but I went into the TWRP settings and repaired the partitions to EXT4 or something of that sort. Now I am able to sideload, as well as access the storage from my PC, but I have had no success in flashing a working OS.
Im usually pretty familiar with android, rooting and unlocking, but these watches seem to be a bit different.
If anyone has anything that would help, please feel free!
The exact model of watch I have is WREN W1502Q .... I think.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I got it to boot!! Now I am stuck with a hang on that screen with all the swirly dots (the four separate animations that is right before boot)
So we're making progress, but I dont know if it is just gonna take a long time to boot, or if it is hanging! Hopefully we can get over this last hump. Thanks!
UPDATE 2:
Back up and running!
Praise the Lord!
