well, that's the problem... if you want to install CM9, you should install CWM recovery first...

this is what you should do to resolve it:

1. turn on your phone into download mode

2. connect your phone to your PC, then flash CWM recovery through ODIN

3. after finished flashing CWM recovery, turn off your phone, then turn on your phone into recovery mode to enter CWM recovery

4. full wipe your phone in CWM recovery (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)

5. flash CM9 in CWM recovery

next time, if you want flash ROMs into your phone, make sure you follow every instructions and DO NOT EVER SKIP single step of the detailed instructions...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
yes you can't ofcourse, you must flash a rom first then after that when you get into debugging mode. the guide on flashing is on the link i provided, just go to download mode and if you can got to download mode everything would be fine ;) as they said, DO NOT SKIP any steps, all links are provided from my first post from flashing, rooting, installing CWM and flashing the CM9 rom. hope this helps.

11. now install the Recovery Clockwork 5.5.0.4 in the link.

After all should be work again, i hope this tutorial help you guys. sorry for my bad english :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
its like what i already said, you should really flash with odin Agust1337, from my experience when i flashed a rom it already bypass the bootloop and no need for wipe, but if it still loops then you should consider this steps provided :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
You did not do "exactly the steps" if you did not use CWM5!!

That, right there, is your problem...

You gotta follow instructions, even if you don't RTFM!!

You did this to another phone or not, I linked in my previous post??

The procedures for flashing ROM's and Recovery are well documented, ppl have given advice and links!!

You need to document "exactly" the steps you are taking so as people can help.

One line responses are not enough.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Agust1337:
Yes, I tried on my old LG Optimus GT540.

But does that mean I wont ever get to use it? Do I need to buy a new phone :confused:

I'm so stupid :/
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hungandt:
You need flash by CMW5 lastes
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
No my friend...not stupid....and your phone can be rescued.

But, you need to follow the instructions as linked above by numerous posters.

Have you got Kies installed on your PC or Laptop?

If you have, you should therefore have your phone drivers installed, including ADB.

Also, you will need ODIN installed to possibly flash CWM5 and perhaps Stock ROM, although this [CWM] can be done with ADB, easily and no fuss but slightly dangerous.

If you get CWM5 installed, the possibility to do all wipes necessary is there, and also possibility to flash all Custom Roms for your phone...

THE-E guides are worth reading..

Look at sticky threads.

Good luck, we Irish have huge respect for Brave Icelandic People.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Agust1337:
irishpancake,

Are these all I need? Maybe I have downloaded too much lol

And oh, when I try to use Odin I get "Please connect phones !!" dialog even if my phone is connected :S
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
have you installed samsung usb driver? make sure you already installed the usb driver before connect the phone to the PC in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Kies will do that, if you install Kies.

However, you can install stand-alone drivers without Kies.

Please follow instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467128

Either install Kies or do "manual driver install".
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Agust1337:
I have both installed.

I installed the Samsung Drivers first, then KIES yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
That is overkill... Kies has the drivers.

However, have you installed ODIN 4.43 on your PC [confirm you are using Windows OS...ODIN is for Windows]?

Before you connect your Phone, be sure you have it in "Download Mode"... check tutorials to know how to get into DL mode....

basically, start phone holding Power+Vol Down+Home Key until you see logo....then release Power..

You should then see warning screen. Then press the Vol-Up rocker button...

This should bring you to Download Mode.

From this screen you should connect to PC with USB cord, with ODIN running, as above!!.

Also, make sure no instance of Kies is running on your PC...

use "Task Manager" on Windows to check...kill any instance!! [Kies and ODIN do not work well together]
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ariescare29:
Try to reflashing via Odin
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Toughdroid:
This has happened to me sometimes. One issue to look at is that I have seen cases where a corrupted microSD gets the phone stuck at that point. I'm not sure what causes it, but it's worth trying it to remove the microSD and boot again.

Also as everyone has said, go into Recovery and wipe the data partition, clear cache, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Agust1337:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you!! (no homo lol) :D

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan310:
Is there a guide to getting the Fascinate to work with any of the wireless tether apps? I tried several and not able to connect. I just installed ics - didn't have a problem before.

And thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
Is your root working? Many apps have settings for galaxy nexus device and netd master. Those work for this phone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagooo:
I had the same problem for a while but then figured it out.

Download WiFi Teather from the app store then hit menu button and go to settings. Change the device profile to generic ics and it should now work just fine.

Click on the button to start it and it should turn yellow and show some stats for download/upload kb etc.

All set. After that you can enable/disable access control so that you can select who to allow internet access to from your phone.

Hope this helps. :cool:

Not that I need to explain myself but I've had multiple themes in 1 thread before and its too confusing.. If its that much of an issue I can always remove all threads and just keep them on forums where people bite their tongues instead of saying whatever comes to mind...

Um.. almost all the theme chooser themes are simply recolored Google Stock images.. most of mine are made so just because it's a diff color of my other theme, it's still a theme.. Everyone has their own opinion and mine is that a theme should make the phone look totally different.. not just like a stock rom but with lightly shaded colors.. but that's just MY opinion..

As far as my butt hurting.. it doesn't.. lol. But almost every thread I post on XDA has someone that bashes, criticizes, rags on, or tells me I did something wrong.. it just gets old. But kudos on the tongue anyway.. ya could have said something worse.. ;)

Hey B-boy, what jabbawalkee says is true. I was PM'd by a Mod and told that i had to remove all the Links to the Paid Themes and now i just have Pictures for them in the Mega CM9AOKP Collection i'm Maintaining. I would suggest to remove the paid versions links. Just to save you from getting a PM/Mod Edit/Thread Lock.

EDIT: The threads that are still up with paid themes or what not are there still because the mods haven't found them or no one reported them. Those are the 2 main reasons threads get caught.
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
I would have been more than happy to do so had he simply said the reaons . All he said was ya can't link paid apps and since I didn't know there was a holy rule here I told him it was my app so its ok... but with his lack of people skills he went nutso instead... so when I get home I'll remove all the links and all my other work... there's plenty of fish in the Android sea and xda has no moderation for vulgar language or disrespectful users...

[Android Themes] GrimReaper24:
Keep your posts on topic no flame wars. Please respect one another :). If a theme is free its fine to link it no issues with free things on Google play store.. If paid you need to ask admin for permission to do so.. Problem with paid apps is folks tend to go nuts with advertising and so on and some folks scam people so that is why rules are in place to prevent things like that from happening. Themes look good tho keep up the good work.

Next post off topic will result in a infraction being issued. So please keep posts on topic .

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Element515:
Okay, I'm starting to think mine is fried... when i tried reflashing the pd15img i get fail PU =[

Yeah, so read that... this phone died =[ I didn't realize this phone had these problems. My sensation has been flashed so many more times and nothing... so umm, can someone tell me how to truely brick this so they can't even know I was rooted?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
1) That's unethical.

2) All flashing comes with an inherent risk of failure. You knew, or should have known that, before you flashed in the first place.

Do a search on bricking a device in these forums. I've seen very respected and senior users participate in "intentional bricking" so that it couldn't be powered up & discovered that it had been rooted. So while unethical, it does/has happened. One suggestion was to flash a radio that isn't compatible with the phone...although I do not know if it has/will work. But somewhere there is a thread for that..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
A question has popped up that I can not find an answer for.

If you've never used Google Wallet, do you still need to go in and reset it from ROM flash to ROM flash if you want it functional later on?

IE I buy a new 4G LTE and walk out, root and flash a new ROM. Did Wallet need to be reset for the secure element to be fine?

Or I have wallet set up on stock, I reset it, root and flash another ROM but never use it on that ROM. I'm about to flash yet another ROM where I am going to use it. Do I need to reset it on the ROM I have not used it on in order for the secure element to be preserved?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
I would say YES even if you don't plan to use it... Or at least till dev's find a way to automate that.

Who knows maybe later on you might want it or it would add to the resale value to have it operational.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
but if you don't use it in a ROM, does it somehow set itself back up?

I mean, let's say I never have even opened the program Google Wallet, but it is installed, is the secure element ever activated?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
IF you've never opened the program there may be a possibility (but don't count on what I say 100%) that you should be in the clear. Also if you don't plan to use it I would recommend to keep it disabled.

But there is now way I can assure you 100% that you will be covered and that the keys for the NFC will be OK after flashing without performing the GW clearing up procedures.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
As long as you don't go into the program and set it up, you'll be fine. Resetting it just wipes all the info from the program and puts it back to the way it came out of the box. If you don't use it, there will be no info in there that will need to be wiped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
I wondered the same thing... I bought the phone, never touched google wallet, then reset the phone. After learning of this issue I went to check, but of course now can't get into wallet because the unsupported error we all now get. So I should be good right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFnerb:
I know in my "Enhanced Email App" there is a checkbox to "Enforce Pin Lock Security Policy" I know there used to be a way to get around that, anyone know if there is anything recent as to get around the lock?
