Ok, I tried to search and cannot find a fix for this. I managed to load an expired Beta ROM on my phone. Now I cannot connect via activesync to load another one that functions. I just get a screen that says
" This concludes the BETA testing of this software release........"
Some one please help, I tried searching, but could not find anything.
Thanks everyone. I guess this is what I get for playing with different ROMs.
Flash a new one by SD Card then
Thanks, I will search on how to do that.
Thanks
Downloaded Factory ROM and loaded from Bootloader.
THanks
Yep, you still can enter bootloader and load another rom.

Did you try the options already stated in this thread?
You can put the phone in bootloader and flash the stock (or shipped rom) or flash another rom using the sd method (like the at&t stripped). Then you might want to also do some reading before you flash again, just to make sure you know how to unbrick.
This has been stated many times around the forums, and on the wiki.
To put your phone into boot loader hold the left ok key and the power button at the same time and hit the reset key with the stylus.
The info for flashing via the sd method is in the wiki, and I believe flashing from bootloader is there too.
The search button up there between "New Posts" and "Quick Links" is a good friend for the information hungry. This phone is old enough that I would guess any problem you have, has been experienced and solved by someone else already.

and it WON'T work. You cannot fight with this for yourself, it requires fixing a ROM itself. Just do what others said earlier, what they were writing for?....
Go to the bootloader and flash another ROM.
Please close thread. Asked / Answered...Resolved.
oh and i used this (tayutama one because i didnt find superuser app) forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417
it looks to me as your playlogos1 is messed up (sound but no boot animation). i guess by

you mean you did a wipe/factory reset from recovery?
if so, i guess you have to reflash with odin. you could use adb to connect to the phone from recovery and try to fix the problem manually but i guess thats no an option for you ... reflash is the fastest method to get your phone running again ...
yes, i did the factory reset. i want no longer to be wrong, so can you please give me some newbie steps to do the reflash or at least a link? thank you very much, i am no longer in panic!

read flash firmware using odin. i recommend one of the jmX firmwares. the newest of them being WXJM7
thanks a lot for the help, i will never forget you. i was scared of losing the warranty and not solving this issue. if i am right, the method will work because i didnt know that you can make an entrance to the system. i checked the download mode and it works, i am now stuck with my pc until i repair it and on the firmware. 2 questions: 1. if the drivers of the sgs are installed, do i need to remove kies and reinstall it or something like that? and 2. if i did the factory reset, was the internal sd card formatted? thanks a lot again.

1)Hi there. There is no need to uninstall/reinstall kies, in fact u do not have to open it to be able to use odin. You can view this video tutorial first part and second part for illustration purposes. If you are unable to connect to odin you can open kies and reinstall your drivers with it.
2) As far as I know when you do a factory reset only your system reserved partition of your internal sdcard is formatted. The rest of your data in /SDCARD will remain untouched.
Senior members pls correct me if I'm wrong.

theoretically you WILL loose your warranty when you use odin to flash a firmware, in reality the will never find out as long as you don't brick it during flashing...if you want to be 100% on the save side (regarding the warranty) you can also flash the original firmware (JF3 for me) back. personally i would not worry about that ...

no, you are in fact completely right
now that i know that this method can not fail i dont care about the warranty., what is the differences between firmwares and should i use the latest one?

as i wrote above i recommend a JMX one (JM6 or JM7) as they are really stable. i use JPC (android 2.2) which works well for me but there are people reporting serious problems like locked phones and overwritten IMEI's. therefore i wouldn't recommend this for unexperienced people...
i don't want to worry you but there are people who managed to brick their phones with odin. it's very very unlikely if you follow the instructions precisely. just that you know ... read the howto's carefully before proceeding!

i agree but desperate people don't care about forum-rules which is why we have so many threads like this in the dev section. i guess the only way to solve this would be if an admin/mod would manually move them
i will consider this and i understand that it has some risk, but i think this is my only chance. also, i hope the 0.05 percent chance of a major electricity fail will not ruine my phone. for clarifying: is this reflash like the windows reinstalation with different update packs? if the process will be done completely, is there a chance for the black screen will be still there? i am a little nervous, not scared as the first time, but if the process dont work, is there any chance to repair it through samsung with some costs?

Hey there buddy.
I can see that you are really concerned about messing things up. But really, don't worry. It has some down falls, but flashing with Odin is might safe. And as was earlier recommended, you can try flashing to either JM6 or JM7. Both are very stable releases. Here are a couple of links, one for the JM6 and the other for JM7. Trust me when I say this, IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.....
JM6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
JM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821
This is another link to a brilliant post by Darkstriker. This is a well thought of FAQ's. It will guide you properly. Follow instructions to the letter and you will be all right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
It would also be a good idea to do a factory data reset after you are done flashing.
Take the plunge buddy. Be cool.....
Cheers....
Whoops.... Almost forgot. This is a link provided by Darkstriker in his FAQ. This is a faster website to download from. Let me give you direct links to the JM6 and the JM7 and the Odin and PIT files.
JM6
JM7
Odin And PIT File: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...Odin & Bootloader(.PIT)/Old/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
You will need both the files listed on the linked page (Odin and PIT File)
Plus you will also need the CSC files. Choose the correct one from the link below after finding the relevant info from the JM6 and JM7 links. If still in doubt, ask away.
CSC: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...C fo XWJM6, XFJM6 and XWJM7/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
it seems that i gave you something to work on. good, i will use one of these but i am not clear about the pda csc modem things. can someone tell me what i need to do at this step? i dont understand and i am thinkin about the apn settings... i hope i will get them. i dont think i longer have questions. thanks all!

No problem. Will try and walk you through this.
After you have downloaded either of the JM6 or the JM7, and you have extracted the files, you will see the PDA and the modem files. You will also have to download the relevant CSC file that is specific to your region. Also, make sure that Odin and the PIT files have been downloaded.
Let me give you simple steps to work your way through.
1. Make sure Samsung Kies is NOT RUNNING including in the notification area.
2. Disconnect your phone and switch it off.
3. Start Odin
4. Make sure the three options, "Re-Partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are TICKED
5. Click on the "PIT" button and select the "s1_odin_20100512" file you downloaded.
6. Put your phone into download mode by using the key combination: POWER DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY. When you see the yellow triangle, release all buttons.
7. Connect your phone and wait for the drivers to get installed.
8. Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. This will be indicated by the words "PASS" with a green background. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL YOU SEE THE WORDS "PASS"
9. Remove the battery and put the phone into download mode again. (Step 6)
10. In Odin, click the "Reset" button and UNCHECK the "Re-Partition" option and keep the remaining two options CHECKED.
11. Click the "PDA" button and select the file starting with "CODE"
12. Click the "PHONE" button and select the file starting with "MODEM"
13. Click the "CSC" button and select the CSC file which you have chosen. (NOTE: You will have to extract the file from the CSC package you have downloaded and not the actual archive)
14. Connect the phone
15. Click on the "START" button and wait till Odin finishes its process. Again, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL ODIN DISPLAYS THE "PASS" MESSAGE!!!!
16. If you are using Multi CSC, follow the instructions from any of the posts for JM6 and JM7: "When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install"."
You should be fine once these steps are done. They might seem very difficult at first glance, but they really aren't. If you still feel concerned about the process, I would suggest reading the entire post again just to familiarize yourself with the process. I was trembling the first time I did this and it turned out perfectly all right in the end. I am sure it will be the same for you.
Cheers....
thanks for the flashing guide for dummies. I think that it is the most complete guide for noobs. thanks again, i will tell you when i am done but now the computer annoys me so i need to wait...

Hey, someone helped me out once too eh??
Dont worry. Get comfortable with the process and you will be good to go. Its nighty night for me unfortunately. But I am sure you wont need me any further on this now.

Hello again community. I am writing now from my SGS. Wonder how? (I did not the reflash) I don't know, the phone just booted up this morning. I have no idea how but now I will try to not reboot my phone. I think the logo is broken and the factory reset worked.
I still have the MCR app, but the Quadrant scores around 870, so I am no longer rooted.
Thanks all, I surely will need your help sometime... I consider the rooting now not so scary because I understanded that I can not break my phone completely. I will update to Froyo when it will be official and I hope the problem is not any longer in my phone.
Cheers!
Edit: I found a folder in the internal sdcard named ase that has 2 subfolders. In «resources» folder there are 2 files: playlogos1 which is 0 kilos large and userinit.sh, also with 0 kilos. If I am right this is the reason which stopped my phone to boot. What to do with them?

Relax bro.. You'll live longer
So I am finally in front of my PC, but I don't know if when I will reboot my phone it will work. I have the superuser/MCR and the scripts still in my phone and I don't know what to do. I don't really understand why the playlogo1 and userinit.sh files have 0 kB and they are on my sdcard. I think they have something to do with this.That's why I am afraid of rebooting it... but sometime I will need it and I hope I will not have the problem. Also, if I will reflash my phone with JM6 or JM7, which lag fix do you recommend for me? (The phone sometimes really annoys me)
Thanks in advance...!
Recently I did reset my phone via lg support tool and restored my phone manually. Now everytime I reboot the quick toggle for q memo reappears on its own. I uncheck it from my toggles and reboot then its back again. The only way ive been able to stop it is to delete the app, but I use it(just not from the quick toggles) so I dont like that option. It wouldnt even really bother me if it didnt put it all the way in front of the other toggles... Anyone know how to fix this?
I got the EXACT same thing, damn, no idea how to work this out.
I tried flashing a new .kdz to no avail, this is so irritating.

Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.

here is a screenshot: (i cant paste link because i am new):crying:
I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.
You may look here:
Bricked P8000
This may help.

solution 2 worked for me.
Also i have a new problem. when connecting my bluetooth speaker it says...well maybe this belongs to another forum :good:
Received today the official European Pie Update. And now it doesn't let me unlock the phone with finger prints or code. And can't shut it down, only restart. Help appreciated.
I do have the same problem - it's not possible to unlock the phone. I restarted the phone into "safe mode" (long-press power button on screen and select "safe mode") but the problem persists.
I can get phone calls and SMS and all, but i only get a black screen if i try to unlock. Only way to get into the GUI is by restarting the phone...
If someone knows what to do besides a factory reset, I would highly appreciate it!
Same in Sweden. Didn´t do backup so hard reset is last thing i whant to try. I have a symbol on the screen i have never seen before, looks like a torx screw .Does anybodu know what that symbol is?
This is just awkward...
I couldn't wait any longer and had to reset my device and now it works again. I was able to login after each reboot so I could make a backup. But it's cumbersome anyway.
This is so bad from LG - after launching a "Software Upgrade Center" and waiting months to get android pie, this was the first time I had problems with an update... Never again LG...
Had to do a hard reset too. Then it worked
I have this problem, too
I'll wait a little bit, maybe we can find another solution, I don't want to wipe my phone, I was to lazy to createa backup
Might be related to the issue I'm having. Google Play Services have stopped working after a failed Play Store update this morning. Phone won't unlock properly with fingerprint, and is scrolling slowly. I'm in the US on Verizon. Updated on Friday and had been working fine until that corrupted update. G710vm20a

Ok, I haven't had a problem, but I did a clean install of the leaked kdz from a few days ago. I had a fresh Google backup and sdcard, so I didn't loose anything.
