I had recently flashed my phone with a custom rom (I do that all the time, when a new rom comes up, for testing) But because battery drain issues with custom roms, i decided to go back to the stock firmware, so i flashed my rom with the ver 4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212). When i connected my phone to my wifi network it showed, a new update that was available i.e 4.0.1.A.0.42 ver. so i downloaded it via wifi and when it started installing the update, my phone suddenly switched off. And nw it wont turn on...I tried flashing it again, the flashing process successfully completes but still the phone wont switch on. When i press the power button it just vibrates for short time and a green light (flashing light) flashes on and off. The fone wont enter into fastboot mode. when i plug it to the usb the green light glow even if i dont press the back button.... what do i do...
any help would be appreciated ...thank you in advance.
Did you unlock the bootloader? You cannot update OTA with it.

yes the bootloader is unlocked..
i wonder if your phone can be resurrected by Alejandrissimo
That's what happens when you don't follow instructions.. There are many, many warnings all over these forums about OTA causing problems with an unlocked bootloader.

Did u try to fix the problem with Flashtool (flashing a stock rom on ur phone)
Yeah...I'ld be really carefull the next time....Can be repaired or i'll have to find a SE service center.. ??
Yeah ....flashing completes ... but it doesn't start, Does the same thing ....when i press the power button it just vibrates...
Try to flash a new kernel on it with a guided Tutoril...u will find one here or try to boot the RecoveryPLAY.img with fastboot too
I cant enter the fastboot mode....if i press the search button and plug the usb nothing happens for sometime and the fone enters the flash mode. so i guess that i'll have to recover the boot ...i guess its corrupted...
now i have the ultimate solution...relock the bootloader again, then flash a stock rom on it...it will work fine again!!

Hey people,
A friend of mine is getting a white screen on his Galaxy Y, can't do anything with it. Even a hard reset (as found on the internet) doesn't work. (Hard reset being holding volume up, center button and power button).
Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Thats NOT a hard reset! Pull the battery, and insert it again. Now do your "hard reset". As in, holding volume up+home+power key together until you see the Samsung logo. Do a data wipe and restart. If that doesnt work, search for flashable firmware packages in the Development section. If that doesn't work either, replace your phone.
Hey guys,
Thank you both for your replies.

Stating what happened: He just suddenly had a white screen, unable to do anything with the phone. Rebooting, pulling the battery etc. didn't do anything.
Your second option didn't work either unfortunatly.

Sorry about that, I just read in about this phone, since it's not mine, and I already forgot about the second part.
Unfortunately, neither of this works. Every boot method gets him a white screen. Since he rooted his phone about a week ago, looks like he's going to need a new one.

try flashing the ROM using Odin from the PC
Might Odin be the same as Samsung Kies in dutch? Or is this an external program?
Assuming it's this program: http://odin-win.sourceforge.net/
Now how does this work? I've been flashing my phone for quite a while now, but I'm not familiar with this program. Can I just download a ROM (stock) from the developers part here?

its a tool for windows which lets you flash firmwares. You need to connect your phone to your pc is download mode.
Search Google and you will get lots of tutorials explaining the process.

Okay thanks for all your help guys.
My friend tried everything you people suggested, but nothing worked. He just had an expert look at it and it's just totally bricked. Gotta buy a new one. Thanks for trying anyway!
Sorry for bringing this up again, but I kinda feel sorry when people brick their devices. Yours doesnt have to be a brick. Read this. The instructions are on the first page. There's a link to Odin too. Hope for the best!

i tried to install an update of ROM on my wildfire S..

neither volume down + power worked.
i am very much beginner to android or htc. please help me with a full tutorial or
guide how to fix this.
here is the link to ROM update that i was trying to install

and one more thing. its orage lite on front screen starts flashing when i plug in the charger/data cable. i check the battery voltage, they're 4.02v, so i guess the battery is full charged. if i remove the battery and the reinstall it.. the orange lite doesn't blink unless i put the charger again.
i've gone through other threads that seems to have same problem but i could not understand much of the terms used in those.. so plz i need a detailed help
Can you feel 3/5/7 vibrates when holding power button?
What did you try to do actually?
It's a phone sync software and not a ROM update which you have mentioned.
It seems that there might be problem with your battery. Check it first.

Did you root phone earlier? or
Is your phone's Bootloader unlocked?
If your bootloader is unlocked and your device rooted, install CWM Recovery via ADB, then download your ROM as a ZIP and install using CWM.
If you're not unlocked/rooted, do that first, again via ADB.

i guess the phone it is now useless because another guys says that
"Its bricked if you cant boot to hboot with vol-d + pwr. Srry only way is to send to htc"
so i guess that's the end of it
today i pressed both vol + and down and pressed power button.. the phone gave 7 vibrations and its LED turned on.
what does that mean? is there way to fix it somehow?

I already did a factory reset but it still comes up in safe mode + the menu button at the front is not working. I'm trying the software update(repair) through PC companion now, but it's taking forever to finish.
Its been a couple of hours now and the pc companion phone software update is still not done processing. I don't have anything in my phone how come its taking so long? please help me.
I think I know the reason why
I think I found out what's causing my phone to be stuck in safemode. I did everything even the software update in pc companion but it's still stuck on safemode. I think I know why. my front menu button I think is stuck that's why no matter how much I reboot its still on safe mode because its like I'm still pressing it. does anyone know how to clean the back? Please tell me 'cause I don't know how...

Contact Cleaner
I fixed it a few weeks ago, figured all I needed was a contact cleaner, there was dust causing the front menu button to be stuck, that's why the phone thinks I want to go on safe mode because the menu button is being pressed. >_<
I wanted to post this so that if ever this happens to you don't freak out immediately and check if its clean before you restore factory settings or whatever.
Guys, I tried to flash back to normal kernel and rom from cm10 with my xperia ion lt28h
I flashed the kernel with adb mode, but now I have a serious problem.
I am stuck on the sony screen and it doesn't go further than that..
I can't seem to enter fastboot mode.
Did I brick it?
What do I do now?
Help would be appreciated !

Doesn't work cause the screen is just black and it doesn't respond.
I guess I need to let battery die and then recharge and try flash kernel again ?
mah man...posting a question...which u labeled as a question manually (the [Q])... in da dev section.
brillant thinking
cuz you posted it here because u knew you may get an answer quicker....but sadly,
nobody was there to yell at u...like the other members that post questions in the dev section xD
anyway, there is a unbrick thread in the general section...very detailed at that

I'm sorry mate. I'm new here so didn't really know where to post it..
I found that thread. So normally it should work out when I follow those steps?
Just let my battery die, then charge it and flash kernel? Then let it die again, and charge it and flash the tft file ?
Is that correct ?
AW: [Q] Tried flashing back to stock rom and kernel. stuck on "sony" screen
If u want to go back to stock, just flash stock rom with flashtool. U dont need to flash Kernel and rom seperatly... Now its too late. Try to get in flashmode, maybe now or let the battery die first. Then flash stock 3.7 or 2.68 ftf.

Ok guys...
I charged the phone until it was orange. I then tried to flash it with the flashtool like it should be done.
However when i pressed vol down + plug in usb, my screen just turned on and showed the sony sign... So that didn't work
I then wanted to shut it down, but I waited to long and I accidentaly let it vibrate 3 times.
Now the phone is completely dead and it doesn't give any light when charging and I can't start it up...
What happened here?
UPDATE !
I could charge it until it was orange. I then tried several times to go into flashmode with flashtool.
I just kept on pressing voldown and it seems to have worked !
Phone is back to normal !
