[Q] URGENT! Help, stuck at samsungmobile

So, i rooted using one click root 2.5.x and i have cwm 2.5.1.0 and i flashed the deodex tool which worked, then i flashed the 6 lockscreen mod, which worked, so i then tried to advanced restore my backup that i had made as soon as i rooted, and now i cant get past the samsungmobile boot screen. I tried, wiping data/factory reset in cwm, clearing all kinds of caches, reflashing the deodexing tool, and nothing works. anything i can do besides odin?

Try to flash the rerfs rom see if that works it puts the stock rom with clockworkmod 2.xx

+1, see why you should of did this along time ago, you would know what you were doing by now j/k, I know you won't take offence to that... Sometimes if it gets stuck at sammy screen you can try re-installing which ever ROM you were trying to install, I seen this maybe 10 out of the over 500 flashes, no BS... It can happen for a couple reasons...

So you rooted...and then went nuts throwing everything on your phone you can get your hands on...LOL.
You could also have tried reflashing your ROM or did uou just do a kernel?

Thanks for all yhe suggestiond guys, i will try them later. and i didnt throw a bunch of stuff at it, just what i needed for the lockscreen mod.

$50 Bounty to Help Me

I am willing to pay $50 to the person who can help me solve my problem.
I have a successfully rooted T-Mobile T989 that I have been using for 2 weeks. I decided to un-root the T989 using the procedures listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
Then installed the :
SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
When I rebooted my phone the ROM does not appear to take at all - instead it restores my phone to a state it was in on 10/20. The phone also keeps rebooting itself over and over.
When I install the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip from recovery, it reboots 2 seconds after it says "Setting Permissions"
I have tried wiping everything, factory resetting but to no avail.

hold volumen down or up + power
go back into download mode
use odin to flash back the root
with root you can fix most of those issues
in CWR select the option to Fix Permissions
use wipe factory reset, to wipe out everything
then reboot a couple of times to make sure it's stable
once it's confirmed, then you can try to flash the un-root back into the phone
using this info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
by flashing this file SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar

Where are you located?

Right. Thats why I hold myself from rooting my SGSII until there is a proven tested method without surprises.
Screwing up your phone is easy but paying bounty to get it fix sounds to me like a self-torture. No, thanks.

If you read extensively and follow directions to a T there's no way possible you can brick your phone. I don't know about you guys but I read about how to root, how to unroot, etc so you save yourself from headaches. Some people probably jump into things without reading and that's where issues show up. I even watch videos to get an idea if I'm not too confident.

This is exactly what I do also. I cover all ends when messing around with root. I didn't root till I knew there was a definite way back to stock.

That's how everyone should do it. Its almost fool proof to do it that way. When I rooted my first Android phone (G1) it took me about 3 days to finally do it. I read extensively and watched videos etc till I built up some confidence and got the job done with no issues at all.

Thank you for the quick reply - unfortunately this process did not work. Although I have root access, when I delete a file through ADB and reboot the phone, the file re-appears. I tried re-flashing other ROMs but when I reboot, the phone returns to a state it was in about 1 week ago...not sure what is going on.
Saw the cautionary note about bounty's - I had the best of intentions but will refrain from offering them again.

Have you tried this method to unroot the phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878 ? It's very simple,straightforward and works.

Thank you for the reply. I did but to no avail. Nothing that I write to the phone sticks. Although I have root access and went in and deleted an .apk through ADB, successfully, when I rebooted the phone (after clearing everything under the sun) the .apk re-appeared as though it had never been deleted.

Problems

Hello to all. Quick story, looking to get the Nexus 4. Got my hands on a SII to test T mobiles network. Rooted it last night and put CWM on it. For some reason I can't flash Cyanogenmod or Liquid Jelly. They both stay on the boot animation. I've rooted my Evo LTE and my Nexus 7 so I'm not a complete noob. Thanks for any and all help. I'm at work but I will check back throughout the day.

Could be bad download, did you check md5? Try using twrp, many have less issues with it. Make sure you full wipe as well.

Thanks I prefer TWRP. I just didn't know if it was a viable option. It seems like the devs for the SII Roms prefer cwm for some reason. I did full wipe by the way. Thanks again.

Just so you know it may be a preference but does not mean the alternate TWRP does not work just fine. I would suggest you going with it and you have to understand its just a recovery and honestly both should work fine and the same. Unfortunately it seems that TWRP does some things with less stress than CWM. A lil more reading up on this in the various threads and you will probably find the debates about this.
also which CWM are you using if 5.0.2.7 you have to use wipes if you are using the newer versions no wipes are needed. TWRP it does not matter

Hmm it seems this phone doesn't like TWRP for some reason. It just stays at the Teamwin splash page. This thing is becoming a headache. I was on the latest version of CWM.

Downloadgrade from ZVB(JB) to stock unlockable

You will lose all data to get back to stock unloackable. Don't cry about it if you choose to do this.
First you need to run LGNST to get back to stock.Here's a link to a great write up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082084
Then after your phone has gone through the process you will be stuck at the boot animation.
You need to have adb installed.Run
adb reboot recovery
Now in stock recovery you have to wipe everything!!!
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot system
after a short period of time you should boot into stock zv7,8,9 depending on the bin you use.
I used zv7 bin to do this and waited(forgot) to wipe till after running LGNST you might be able to wipe before hand but it slipped my mind.After you do this you can wait for a JB flashable ROM or keeping playing around how ever you like.
Thanks to

Great guide! I had to do this late last night (FreeGee issue). After I factory reset, I had a thought: I know stock recovery can support adb. While in recovery, if people need to get certain files off of /sdcard partition, the following should work when plugged into a computer, yes?
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM C:\Backup\Pics

Upgrade Path
I am coming from a Droid 4 and I remember when the leaks dropped, we were taken off of the official upgrade path.
Do we anticipate that ZVB will not be on the official upgrade path to the official release, and will we need to downgrade in order to receive the official update when Sprint/LG decides to roll it out?

By that time they'll have an unlock method figured out and you'll be able to flash a new update that way.

Im stuck at this. I tried everything before i seeked for help cause usually my question are already answered but i try running adb on both my mac and windows both cant detect my device. On my windows i try reinstalling the drivers multiple times. I look into device manager and it shows the device there but with a triangle and explanation symbol. adb just doesnt read my device. Any advice? I did lgnst obviously thats how i got into the bootloop cause i totally forgot to wipe data and system etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try booting into stock recovery by holding volume down and power until the capacitive lights flash. You will not be able to abd any data out, but from there, you can clear cache and data. Starts you with a phone fresh like the day you bought it.

[Q] I THINK I BRICKED MY NOTE 2!? (Chainfire 3D)

HELP!! I think i bricked my AT&T Canadian Note 2 with 16gb rooted with stock rom and stock kernel
SO i was playing dead trigger and wanted to gave tegra 3 optimizations so i downloaded Chainfire 3D from the play store and i installed the drivers and it rebooted my note 2, but it's stuck at the Galaxy Note 2 logo!! I can still use vol up+home+power and vol down+home+power, i tried factory reset in CWM, still stuck, tried flashing new rom (CM, AOKP) still stuck, so now i just want my phone back up and running again. Anyone know how to fix it problem? I don't need any apps or data back or root back, just back up and running again. Oh and charging still shows the battery picture, and i can still turn off my phone.

I tried using CWM recovery but it says error

Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag

If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)

Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.
