[Q] Help needed, soft bricked i8150 Galaxy Wonder - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hey guys..
May need some help here as I've currently soft bricked my mum's device while trying to update to CM11 (2014-01-05: CM-11.0 20140105-UNOFFICIAL) from CM10 (2013-10-23: CM10 Final Release) for i8150 Samsung Galaxy Wonder. Below are the details how did I bricked it, what I've done and etc. Hope some one could help me.
What have I done to soft bricked it
Tried to update to CM11 from CM10 while still using CWM 6.0.1.2. Flashed CWM 6.0.4.5-ancora after that using ODIN but stuck at bootloop no matter what I do.
View attachment 2495891
What I've done trying to unbricked it
1. Reflashing back to stock rom (ODIN shows FAILED for some reason)
2. Reflashing between CM10 & CM11 (installing gapps for each version as well)
3. Installing different ROM version.
4. Taking the battery out for 1 whole night
5. Wiping delvick, restore factory settings / wupe user data, format data, format cache, format system, wipe cache partition
The situation now
Able to go into recovery & download mode, all buttons working
Not sure if this helps but when I try to charge the phone, the battery will show as below without any charging status. After 2 minutes the phone will be powered on automatically.

Also, if you want to install new ROM, do this step :
Go to CWM
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
install the ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone

The important thing with the situation like this is to stay calm first Happens to me once b4, bootloop after reboot by deleting one .apk file and when i flashed stock ROM (5x i think) , i got stuck at samsung logo. Download mode only shoes the icon, no menu's and restarts after a few seconds. What I did, flash CWM 6.0.4.5 via odin. After that, reboot to CWM and did the following: credit to @arsradu
In CWM:
Select "wipe data / factory reset"
Go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
Under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
Install the ROM (from the external sd)

Thanks for the help.
However I've done those that you've mentioned and I'm still stuck at the BootLoop. I've formatted cache, formatted data as well under "mounts & storage". Still no hope. :crying:

Thanks.. Will give it a go and see whether this works or not later tonight.. :fingers-crossed:
UPDATE: completed reflashing to stock rom already. But currently no usb ports can detect the phone. Real headache lol~

Could be as simple as trying a different USB cable....they DO wear out / become loose over time. Very common problem over on the S2 forum, and both phones have the same connector.......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM

Have you disabled firewalls and/or antivirus before connection.....also ended any kies processes in task manager.....

Thanks for your reply. Yes all disabled, luckily I managed to find an old laptop running on Win7 and successfully rolled back to Touchwiz.
Now the phone boots normally but I could not re-flash it to CM10.1 any more, it will get stuck at the bootlop again. :crying:

Please help!! my phone died!!!!

Hi, I need help with my SGS2 . I tried to install the miui rom and it was the first time I tried to flash a arom. I just followed the intsurctions on the following link http://androidflip.com/how-to-insta...-3-4-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-step-by-step-guide/
and I tought everything went soomthly but after I rebooted the device first it was like the miui logo on the screen and nothing happened and then I tried to reboot it then my pc did not recognize the phone when I connected it to the pc and then I took the battery off and now when start the damn phone the triangle picture comes and then just black screen nothing happens. I did make a full recovery with the rom manager before and now my question is did I just kill the phone or can I do something?
Pls help me.
There's tons of threads about your problem.
Put it in download mode and install a stock ROM using Odin. That should get you going again.
You should have CWM, so turn phone off, press volup+home+power, goto Mounts&Storage, Mount USB Storage, and connect phone to PC. Copy over whatever ROM you want, then in CWM menu clear data/factory reset, clear cache, goto advanced, clear dalvik cache, goto install zip from sdcard, choose the zip ROM file, and install it. Reboot, and you should be fine.
thank you so much guys, it helped. It is working now. I will not panic like this one next time. Once again thank you very much

Good sir, I'm also new with this rooting and flashing stuff on Android. Would this method always guarantee that the phone firmware will be fixed under any circumstances? (aside from physical damage, of course)

Let me get this straight, so basically what you are saying is:
- Wipe all the ROM data from the phone
- Install a new ROM, since all the previous corrupt ROM data is cleared
But why clear cache and then clear dalvik cache? Just curious with the difference. (Yes, I haven't rooted mine yet, because I'm still learning slowly before plunging)
Oh also, since you mentioned that we should "clear data/factory reset", doesn't that mean the phone is back to the original stock ROM already, which means we have to root it again...?

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey, My phone was working fine till yesterday. N when i tried to flash dk froyo .i had to change the kernel and i guess the bootscreen(htc logo) freezed because of that. I tried flashing hcdr and other kernels and even changed rom back to cm 7.But nothing seems to help.Only cwm is working on my phone. CAn someone help me please
btw its a wildfire
Your best bet Is to try run a ruu as that would reset the phone back to stock, bootloader and kernal, but depending on how you s-offed you may lose the ability to root.( untill you s-off again.) Good luck
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Perform a full wipe (In CWM, Select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset", then, staying in CWM, go to Mounts and Storage, Select "Format /system". After this, flash a ROM (any) and check if it boots.
Tried. Its still not working. Can any1 post a nandroid backup file of any rom for wildfire. Please. I formatted my sd card too by mistake.
and while flashing a ruu. it always shows a error E:Failure at line 65 and something. Its different everytime
Connect your Wildfire to your PC, In CWM, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select "Mount USB Storage". This will activate Mass Storage Mode and you can access your SDCard on your PC as normal. (I don't think anyone would upload a Nandroid backup of his own, it contains personal stuff like contacts and all. But, if someone does, good for you)
i mount usb storage n then do wat..? i tried flashing every rom possible. But its still not working. Is it the kernel's problem or what??
I am pretty certain performing a full wipe (Following options in CWM - 1: Data Wipe - Factory Reset, along with 2: Wipe Cache Partition, 3: Format /cache, 4: Format /system, 5: Format /data, 6: Wipe cache partition, 7: Wipe Dalvik Cache) in CWM and flashing a fresh ROM will fix your issue, UNLESS your phone is not bricked due to bad flash, but since you already claim that you have done that, I can't help you any further on this.
EDIT - Also one more thing - When you flash the kernel / ROM, do you get a confirmation message "Installation Complete"? What is your CWM version?
Yes i do.it says installation comple and its v3.0.0.6
Sense ROM's like DK will not work on CWM versions above 2.x.x.x. Anyway, since you tried CM7 already, One last suggestion in that case would be to try flashing the RUU via the bootloader.
Steps -
1: Download the RUU you want to install
2: Extract the rom.zip from the RUU. Procedure here
3: Once you have that rom.zip, Rename it to PC49IMG.zip
4: Transfer this to the root of your SDCard (i.e. - Not in any folders / sub-folders)
5: Restart device in HBoot Mode (Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously)
6: It will scan for the file, and ask to install. Follow On-Screen instructions.
Ill give it a try.
owe you big time man..Thanx a lot..

[Q] Might anyone upload a advanced CM9 backup,PLEASE?

I tried to install CM9. ... and failed 5 or 6 times?
I tried everything, but it just didn't got ready with booting, although I did everything right
That's what I did at last
0. failed with installing
1. I Flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS 03C_USAJRDNFRYORTDACH_P014_A009_HWp3_Service1FF.sb f (full SBF with RSD Lite)
2. rooted it with Superoneclick2.3.3
3. turned USB Debugging on.
3. installed Bootmenu 1.0.7(CyanogenDefy recovery 5.0.3) via 2nd-init 2.0
4. turned USB Debugging off.
5. entered Custom recovery
6. "Clear Data/Factory reset"
7. "install Zip from Sd-card">"Choose Zip from sd-card"
8. "CM9-NIGHTLY-120402-Defy.zip"
9. 7.+"CM7_Kernel-signed"
10. "advanced">"Clear Dalvik Cache"
11. "Clear Data/Factory reset"(includes cache wipe)
12. Reboot
0. failed again(didn't get ready with booting)
I got no errors and I've lost my last sd-card.(look at here)
I've got a german SOC Device with E-plus SIM-Card and 16GB SD-card.
I'm sure It's not possible to install CM9 on my device because of unfixed bugs, so I ask you to upload a advanced nandroid backup(with backuped system,data,boot,devtree,recovery,cache,sd-ext and pds) of your CM9 SOC or redlens defy.(don't forget to delete data ... and to restore it afterwards).
I'm tired of asking and asking in this forum.With this way I and many others will be able to install Cyanogenmod 9 via the backup, even if we are unable to install it on the common way and the Community won't have to spend us too much time.
PLEASE

I understand your concern; if I have had red lens I must have uploaded the nandroid.
However, I have a few workarounds for you:
1. Try some different build of the ICS (Try Epsylon's or Quarx's);
2. May be the downloaded ROM file have some issue with it;
3. This time while downloading do not use any download manager;
4. For the dead SD card you try connecting the SD card to your computer using some card reader and use "SD Formatter" software to format it. Just Google the name.
Hope the above information helps!!
Ok, I understand, but what do you mean with download Manager

Download manager is like a tool like Internet Download Manager(IDM) which makes download faster. However, it actually downloadsfiles in packets(parts) at last it combines all parts into one. Insome rare cases this combining makes the file corrupt.
Hope this helps!!

Also stuck at kindleFire screen.

I really, REALLY have tried going through the threads and tried to figure this out on my own but I'm just stuck. A while back I got stuck in the boot loop (I guess). It was after a few factory resets. It had been rooted. Now, I can get into twrp but once there I can't seem to find any of the files that I need to flash to get it going again. When I launch the KFU it says the device is "online" and device manager reads "Android Composite ADB Interface". I'm sorry if this isn't enough info but can someone give me a push in the right direction? :silly:
Still vague bro but hey you have twrp do you have fff? If you have those things select mount in twrp transfer ROM zip and a gapps zip to your sdcard but don't place them inside a folder... leave them in the open this is considered the root of your sdcard then select unmount go to install see if you can navigate to the files you put on the kindle if so select wipe, wipe factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install tap on the ROM zip flash it when done use the back button upper right... flash gapps then select reboot and system if prompted let it boot.. I suggest this ROM or a cm7 flavored variety.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010
fff is the kindle logo with the blue (fire) lettering, right? v1.4a in the upper right corner. Let's me go into normal, recovery and reset boot mode? The only option that let's me make any progress is the recovery option and that loads me into twrp. The "mount" option in twrp gives me 4 choices, mount system, mount data, unmount cache, and unmount sdCard. Mount system and mount data are unchecked. And if I click the "mount usb storage" button it takes me to a screen that says "USB Storage Mounted -- Be sure to safely remove your device from your computer before unmounting!" and there's an "unmount" button underneath. That's all I'm seeing. I'm not trying to be vague. I just don't know what specifically is the relevant info to give. But thanks for helping out those who can't help themselves
Ok plug to your computer select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system then hit the big button this will mount your sdcard transfer zips select unmount follow my instructions above...
hey man, it worked!:victory: But I'm sure you knew it would. So, is it a bad idea or is it even possible at this point to revert to the factory reset? You know, have it be totally stock? And is it just tricky or dangerous to do factory resets a few times? I like using just the stock kindle version. The kindle app is just a little funky. Or it was the last time I used it. But obviously I love the google suite. I hadn't made a back-up the last time because it was just as easy to download a few of the things at a time from the cloud. So, making a back up would be a good habit and help in a situation like this? Do you know of any good threads re: backups? And superuser is something I don't know anything about but how does it work and where should I learn more about that? Mega MEGA thanks again dude! :highfive:
Yeah if you want the best of both worlds go with rooted stock all the wipes I suggested after backing up first then flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 the standard version not the altrom thats for dualboot your miles from that

do I need to just stay with the cm10 rom at this point? what other kind of fun stuff can I do to get this working:fingers-crossed:
I believe Thepooch told you earlier NOT to download the altrom. Check your download and try again.
no doubt. Funny how this stuff works the way that it's supposed to

Thanks soupmagnet yes the altrom version will fail everytime because it needs extra partitions to work which do not and very likely will not ever exist on your device.... Intructions well it helps if they are read I gave very clear ones and I definatly said not to use the altrom........

How about going to Download mode and install via ODIN?
See the toolbox for this.
ps: Your phone is NOT bricked!
Bricked means it doesn't do anything anymore and it cannot be revived.
