Its not the phone its the user. I've never heard of a phone hacking itself. So usually the fault is the owner of the device and not the device itself. And In this case I'd say its user error. Also I'm lost as in what your doing at the moment. I thought you were trying to go back to stock? Now you post says your basically trying to obtain s-off. If this is the case then you make it extremely difficult to try and pin point what's actually the issue with your firends phone because you jump methods. So at this point exactly what are you trying to do ? Are you trying to go back to stock to gain s-off ?? Also if you come here to receive help with your issue you should always try the posted methods first so the member that's helping you is aware of what steps your taking and what your going to do. If not then it becomes difficult to help you.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PepeJones:
Not hacked itself, just not working. At least, that's what I've been told. Right now I'm trying to make it stock, but since what you proposed didn't work I tried different things such as obtaining S-OFF (no success).

The comment regarding HTC wasn't necessarily related to this case but in general. Just look how miserably is the process to just obtain root and unlock the bootloader. And in many cases is not even possible until some exploit is found. Why...? HTC used to be great.

I'm just trying to get this phone work again. Initial idea was to go stock, since it seems logical that it should be straight forward.

So I tried everything you have posted, including the last instructions you left me (backup everything off SD, deleted everything and inserted SD in the phone, then repeated the process).

Thanks for your help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] laie1472:
I understand your frustration about the issues with the phone in its current state. However if done correctly gaining root/s-off can be achieved in less that an hour. I do realize the fact that even if guides are followed to the exact directions that issues still occur. But that's the risk you take when you modify you phone. Your aware of this I'm sure. However that's why xda is a great website. Not only can you get the software to modify your phone, you can also get help in case the process didn't go the way it should have. You can't dispute the fact that there are more than a few members with the evo-lte who had no problems at all with gaining root or s-off. As far as the steps I suggested there was no guarantee that they would work its just the process of trouble shooting to see what will work. If you don't mind can you post the exacts steps you took before you tried to achieve s-off ? Also can you post the links to the exact ruu and firmware you last used as well.? Also if the phone is on try powering it down and attempt to boot into the boot loader. If your successful then try factory reset.

Please edit that its for softbrick
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] afif_7070:
em..if im not mistaken this already being posted b4?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
This is just soft-unbricking, its been posted how.

And most of the time this doesn't even solve any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nomorehomework:
Can u give me the links who already post the this title again.. but soon I will suggest u all the mod for galaxy w
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Your title suggests to how to unbrick a hardbricked SGW, but what you are describing is a simple flashing after your ROM rendered to be not booting. This happened already to many of us who tested many ROMs forth and back and has been discussed in many threats, so it´s not new.

This can be done with CWM or even with Odin if you can´t access CWM recovery but only the download mode.

But what we would need is a solution for a hardbricked SGW.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] afif_7070:
mayb u can search the thread..it didnt hv the same title but the content is the same.same goes for the mod u r about to post.im not sure if there's a post compiling all the mods in one thread.if there isn't,all of us would be thankful if u make one.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nomorehomework:
THIS is working to me. That time I mistaken delete some system file, after reboot my device I am stuck on SGW logo there. After I using this steps, my phone works again: D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] stpdkid:
is this for hardbrick or softbrick?

if this is softbrick, just get into cwm and install a rom..if this is a hardbrick or your phone cant turn on how can you manage to go to cwm with a dead phone??hfftt..

some advice : use jig(if you have one) or go to ssc..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nomorehomework:
Ya but if u delete the file (like cm9.zip) before u brick your device. How can u get back to the normal phone?!?!?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] stpdkid:
so this is softbrick..

its simple..just copy the .zip file again into your microsd card..go to cwm and install the .zip file..just like that..:D

edit : just go to ssc if your phone cannot power on.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Mr.TwEaK:
This isn't for hardbrick nor soft its just reinstalling a broken mod, use the search button b4 you post mate.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] stpdkid:
better change the topic subject then..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Exactly. I would say a softbrick is when nothing works (even not CWM recovery) exept the download mode. Then you still can unbrick it by flashing the rom via Odin.

This happened to me once. Not a big deal, but a bit risky if something goes wrong while Odin is flashing the rom.

A hardbrick is when even the display doesn´t work and you are even not able to access the download mode. In some cases it´s still possible to unbrick it via Odin by entering the Download Mode with a trick or by doing it "blind".

There is for example a resistor+usb plug solution to enter the download mode in such a cese. Not sure it works with our SGW too, but it works with most Samsung devices.

That was also my intent in my earlier post, because the described procedure has nothing to do with unbricking the phone. It only describes a way how to reflash a rom.

That's why you have to make a nandroid backup
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robin0800:
Yes it does I got one from Ebay (cheap) and it works it looks like magic to me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mikrotik:
Its just softbrick not hardbrick
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dfasdf321:
leelogi seven

please change the title to softbrick galaxy w :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dhada:
We call hardbrick if there is no Download mode and Recovery Mode (Clockworkmod).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klacenas:
Title wrong spelling. And please change it to soft brick, everyone knows about this procedure. What we need is hard brick solution.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fsl7th:
that's just a softbrick, hardbrick mean that our wonder can only be used for tossed your neighbor's dog that was barking in the middle of the night :D:D the only one solution to unbricking our wonder is go to SSC and ask them to fix it :D:D

My friend's skyrocket is completely stock, unrooted. His phone just shut off all of a sudden and kept on vibrating and is now in a boot loop. When he puts the battery in, samsung logo appears and then the screen shuts off and begins vibrating.

Does anyone know what the problem is? or how to fix? I'm thinking it's the stuck power button but I am having a hard time finding a fix for it.

I tried using the recovery loop but it didn't work so i pressed other... looking to see more options. In the end, it connected to the pc but i think it broke it. Now when i boot up the kindle, it is stuck at the screen that says kindle fire and has the little andriod guy on it. Can anyone provide help to fix it? And is it broken? :(
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You have FireFireFire installed so this should be fairly easy.

But would you please explain the so called "recovery loop"?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofthenoobs:
Yes, i do have firefirefire installed, i installed twrp firefirefire, and everything to make the kindlefire and andriod about a year ago. The recovery loop is the twrp loop where you are stuck in twrp no matter how many times you restart. That's just what i call it but yeahh sorry for making it hard for you to understand.

No biggie. I just find it best to not make assumptions around here.

When you get to the white kindle blue fire quickly depress the power button a few times till you get the boot menu, then select --recovery-- .
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
And...I just ate my words.

TWRP is recovery. You are stuck at the FFF screen, not the TWRP screen. Upon startup, hold the power button until it turns orange then release. Or turn your device off, enter "fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001" at the command line and turn the device on when you see "waiting for device".

From there, you can use adb to push the FFF1.4a.zip to your sdcard, or mount your sdcard to USB and transfer it like that.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Pm sent unread your private messages.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I'm pretty sure that isn't even possible.

There are two things that can happen when when you enter "fastboot getvar product":

You will see the "waiting for device" message, or you will see "kindle".

Anything else would make me wonder if either your fastboot.exe is corrupted, or there is something wrong with the procedure in which you are entering the command.

Maybe it's time to try on a Linux liveUSB.

So thepooch and i found out that it's not working because of my 3.0usb ports but i'll try again. He also recommended me to use the LinuxliveUSB as well.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofthenoobs:
We also had another problem with the install_driver.bat inside the kindle fire utility where it wouldn't install the drivers.

I tried searching for methods to install unsigned drivers but none of them worked. Does anyone have a method they that could possibly work?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
The device is in fastboot but will to accept fastboot commands terminal instantly reverts to native prompt. The driver uninstall was a hassle and installation happens so rapidly I am inclined to think there is an issue there. The 3.0 usb could be the largest hurdle an is very likely the issue at hand. My guess is that this pc did not do the original rooting and the cable is confirmed different which lends a little more flavor to the 3.0 problem. Best bet is a different machine or a live usb on a different machine just my opinion.

i seem to have a little problem.

after selecting a different marketplace and region, rebooted as instructed. i went to download some stuff only to find that the marketplace will not load.

the screen says.....loading then back flips back to menu.

tried restoring with back-up for both (Restore OEM and Restore MO) but still nothing.

marketplace will not load.

also cannot open xbox games... starts by saying loading then flips back to menu

tried soft reset but still nothing

currently running mi7Rom WP7.8 Edition Nokia Mod v2 on omnia7

any help would be appreciated

p.s when i look online at my phone details it comes up as samsung cetus!!!

i would rather not load the rom again if i can find a solution :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
I had this its todo with changing OEM AND MO device details the problem is it gets all screwed up when certs get synced, changing back the reg settings doesn't work, there are literally 100s of XML files that also contain various stings, I thin the problem lies in them. I for it working but in the absence of time, formatting was the best solution
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] silentg:
thanks for the reply. i was hoping not to have to reformat quite yet.... ball ache.

probably wait for an official/unofficial 7.8 :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, some of the marketplace hacks use a known-to-be-harmful hack. The reputable ones shouldn't - this issue was discovered well over a year ago - but to some people the allure of being able to run Nokia apps on their non-Nokia phones is too great. Installing the apps can be done without this hack (which is to change the OEM and phone info in the DeviceTargetingInfo registry key), but running them often cannot.

The only known solution is to hard-reset, or to restore a full phone backup that was taken prior to using the hack.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] silentg:
tbh GoodDayToDie i chose what i thought was a reputable app to do this from.

i used market select by sh4d0w86. oh well, you live and learn.

i wasn't trying to get nokia apps >.< the app i wanted was iheartradio which has never been available in my region.

i will be reformatting soon. let this be a lesson to me :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
GDTD, yeah ive never used the apps and applied the modifications myself, I suspect its actually to do with the Mobile operator settings, and not exclusively the device or OEM settings, ive been fiddling with the others in an attempt to recreate the problem, it appears random but that Mobile operator reg entry, so far, appears to expedite the problems.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok, so..my Girlfriend tried to root the phone herself and i think something went wrong...actually i know something went wrong..when i load up the Bootloader it gives me a few NO IMAGE found things on the SD card....but the real issue arises when i try to load a ROM onto the phone it will function for like 5 maybe 6 mintues then restart.

I tried to restore the phone to before roms were attempted to be installed on it, and the phone just hangs on the HTC screen and doesn't move.

I've tried installing Different Kernels using the whole fastboot flash boot boot.img method and none of the kernels i install seem to help..

I'm not 100% familiar with this phone since i myself use a S2 Skyrocket..

So my real question is..is there any way to get this phone back to square one so i can reinstall HBoot or whatever its called, or is there a way from where i'm at to stop this phone from constantly rebooting itself?
[HTC One V] gulsher:
i don't think because there is no way to reinstall Hboot , only it can be done by HTC service centre but i will advice you to root it again from beginning , if your bootloader is already unlocked then try to root HOV , and after rooting i will suggest you to use PA rom with cm10 hellboy kernel

and the phone is CDMA through Virgin Mobile

And about the CM10 thing, i was reading that CM10 doesn't work with the camera, and she needs the camera for work to send pics to her other managers
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Ok,your phone is completely normal.

Now,do this in order

Put Rom and gapps in sdcard

Put the kernel in fastboot/platform-tools folder

Boot into bootloader and select fastboot.

flash kernel using the command you described in OP

Enter recovery.do a full wipe,i.e,factory reset,wipe cache,wipe.dalvik cache.also,go into mounts and storage and format every partition,except sdcard.

Then flash the Rom.zip,boot into Rom and then again into recovery and flash gapps.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok doing that now, Do i format the/sd-ext? or just leave that alone with the sdcard
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
sd-ext format isn't supported so you may as well leave it.and,use the boot.img inside the zip,that is the supersick kernel.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
ok rom flashed...do i want to install Gapps now? or let the phone boot all the way first into the rom before restarting it and going back into recovery?
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Boot into Rom,wait for 5mins and then flash gapps.:)
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok, I'll just try Booting first before i go back and install the GAPPS...just to make sure the phone won't reboot on me
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok..so an update... upon the initial boot..it still rebooted :(... i went back and installed GApps anyways...and it's installing it now...i have no idea why this is happening with this phone :\
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Did you download and flash the gsm rom by mistake?

Are you using the proper command to flash the boot.img?i.e,

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
i grabbed it right off that link i posted earlier..I'll try Redownloading the ROM and then starting over again..maybe something happened in the download process or the transfer process..heh i'm not going to bed till i fix this issue lol since the phone for her right now is virtually unusable
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
You said in OP that you have a backup right?restore it first.and flash the boot.img found inside the backup.

Let's see what happens.it should boot normal.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
That was an issue, i tried to restore the backup but it hangs at the HTC screen shortly after the Virgin Mobile and doesn't move..ever i let it sit for a long while and nothing happend
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
You have to flash the kernel first!only then will it boot.

Go into fastboot,flash the kernel found inside the backup and then restore it.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
oh! ok, I'll try that
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
i don't have to do that format stuff before restoring right?
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
No need.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok, and is it normal for the screen to stay black after i restored and hit restart?..because that's what it's doing lol
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Wait for some time.
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Sweet! the restore worked and the phone is back to normal...no restarts...So we're in the right direction lol
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Hurray!

Now,flash again the Pacman or any Rom you'd like and report.;)
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok i'll go back and follow those steps you listed, Here's hopin' it works
[HTC One V] Nekrophilia:
Ok, it's still restarting :\ but it's alright..i know how to get it back to the way it was, so that's fine..Lol..i'll have to toy with it more at a later date...it's almost 4am and i'm exahusted, atleast her phone works though lol..Thanks again dude, really helped out alot
