Stuck at bootloader splash screen

:confused:

Hello,

I recently upgraded from AT&T Goldeneye 5.1 to 6.0. I felt 6 wasn't as smooth as 5.1 so I did a nandroid restore to my previous (5.1) install. All went well. Made some changes via 3minit that called for me to reboot. At the bootloader splash (SAMSUNG txt + custom txt + open padlock) it remained for 5 to 10 min. I shut it down and tried again..... same thing. I am able to still boot in to the recovery. I flashed a fresh d/l of 5.1 (md5 verified) booted. All was well. Had to restart for android id same thing happens. At this point I am unable to get past bootloader splash, however I can still get into recovery. PLZ HELP!!! lol

I am unable to post in the goldeneye form due to this being my first post. Thx in advance. XDA rocks:D

IB4STID gave me this and it worked welll!!!!

1. flash amdl with odin

2. after its complete it will be stuck at padlock

3. pull battery

4. hold home button, vol-up, power at same time

5. when phone vibrates, release power, while still holding

vol-up, and home button

6. you will now be in "stock recovery"

7. wipe factory reset then wipe cache

8. reboot

Thanks all!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rastabolino:
Glad you solved it...usually in the case you're describing a wipe of cache from recovery will do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vividblu2020:
Hey guys. I was reading earlier in one of these posts. This one I think, and someone posted a link with a previous version of the baseband to install recovery. I'm still slightly confused. So what if i used Odin to flash that and then couldn't I then freeze the "mf3" update? I am on mf3. I had no idea that would cancel our plans of installing recovery. But I read someone is making an apk to allow recovery. Can someone politely include the best information to look at for this. Thanks

I didn't read through the thread so this may of come up already. FWUpgrade was not in my list on Titanium backup, but doing a search in TB did find the title of it was AllShare Cast Dongle S/W, with an APK path of /data/app/com.sec.android.fwupgrade-1.apk /system/app/FWUpgrade.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
Noob here. Just bought the AT&T Galaxy S4 16gb version. Leaving iPhone 4S. I want to get rid of TouchWiz and the stock s4 experience. What is the most popular custom ROM? Is there one link that takes you everything like rooting, bootloader/recovery, etc?

Thanks all. Excited about leaving apple mothership and joining the droid experience!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rastabolino:
Welcome to android!

You may want to start by playing with other launchers and apps before actually leaving stock Rom...there's a lot of customizing that can be done without flashing Roms.

That said, you could try a Rom based on the Google edition of our phone for a stock android experience, or try cyanogenmod, paranoid android, aokp, or slim Rom...those are all well liked tons based on stock android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
Yeah I may do that. The google edition ROM has caught my attention.

I'm buying a microSD card; does it need to be formatted exFAT or FAT32 - seen some mixed answers on that. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rastabolino:
I think fat32 but I believe it was only an issue for 64gb cards?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jontalotta:
Try a launcher. If all you want is the basic Android feel, a launcher will do that for you (I prefer Apex, but there are many to try). You will still have Samsung menus and core apps, but you can install apps form Google Play to customize your experience (which you would very likely do on a custom ROM anyway).

Also, depending on what operating system version you have on your device, flashing a custom ROM may not even be possible at this time (search for issues re MF3 and inability to unlock bootloader or install custom recovery).

You can try what I did....Insert a blank SD card into the device tray and go straight to System Preferences/Storage/Format SD Card (bottom of menu). Select Format SD Card. Don't try to view the card in a file manager before going to format. That worked for me (of course, mine may have been formatted correctly before I inserted it, and so I simply got lucky formatting on the device it without any errors).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
May be too late. But, I run a Samsung 64gb Class 10 I got on Amazon. No issues TW or GE roms.

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

What are you asking? Did you read Hashcode's OP?

Safestrap is still a WIP. You can get his recovery on your phone and that is about it. NO rom flashing, Backup, or Restores.

I don't think you can get back to stock recovery.

I would wait unless you are adventurous and experienced--:)

Although, his work is exciting for folks stuck on MF3. But, to add, it uses up System memory. So, 16gb users will be further restricted available memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vividblu2020:
Honestly I'm just trying to figure out whether there is one way to get root, and either flash a ROM. I'm really wanting to root the phone so I can add this audio tweak - viber - I like music, so that's what I would do. I see these threads about mf3 "flashing " and it's a little confusing. So their is no way to flash a ROM right now? Even with" safestrap?" Im not that experienced with android yet. But I know I can install apps and give permissions using root.

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
No, you can't flash any roms yet. I read almost all of the SafeStrap thread before i posted for you. So, I would check it out. But, if you are just starting, I wouldn't touch it. Give it a few weeks, it looks promising. But, no know the cons and exactly what it is doing to your System Partition. I know it is frustrating. Patience :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vividblu2020:
How exactly would it bother my system ? I've anyways rooted my phones with ease. So what your saying is in a few weeks or so. Safe strap could help us all with flashing ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
It will affect System by taking up more space to use the Safestrap recovery. It is explained very well in OP. So, on 16gb phones you will have to even better manage your storage.

I only say a few weeks as it seems he is making good progress. But, then again it may not work at all.

I just don't see any reason to try it yet, unless you want to be a tester, so to speak--:) Which brings risks--;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vividblu2020:
I need to keep and eye on that thread by the way. But, how much storage would it take up ? Surely not that much just to keep another recovery on the phone right ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Calling it a night. But, you would have to read OP/Thread. I think more things are put there than just recovery. Forget what I read. :)

But, yes. Good thread to subscribe to for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vividblu2020:
Thanks. I'll have to subscribe.

Desperate! Nubie - ARLiberator is the only reason I want root

Desperate!!!!!

Please help..... The only reason I want to root is to be able to use an app called ARLiberator which will allow me to use my AppRadio to manage my phone. If I root and do nothing but load the app what do I need to do to not allow anything else happen to the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
Great advice! I installed Apex launcher pro last night and it's really let me enjoy the phone so much better now. I've subscribed to the threads relation to MF3, safestrap, etc so hopefully if there's good news and progress, I'll be able to custom recovery/ROM and install the google edition in the future - that's the one I'm really eyeing!!

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
What build number are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GWM4Tennis:
MF3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
that's all you do

maybe take advantage of titanium backup from market

extra reading don't hurt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GWM4Tennis:
Been doing much as I can find

here on xda, AppRadio and AndroidCentral. Just a bit concerned with all the people who seam to be having trouble. I have never rooted before and the S4 with MF3 seams to be causing lots of hangups

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I have been reading quite a bit but have not been able to find everything I need to know so I was trying to get in touch with someone to get the extra information. I appreciate your responses
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I am not stuck on mf3, but as you already know several threads here to study up.

Being new I would wait and see what happens. Being worked on hard to get recovery to the mf3 build.

I will say this phone stands on its own and does well with no root. All I have done is color theme my status bar and do nandroids. MyBackUp Pro will do that well and Koush has Carbon (renamed?) for apps also.

I wasn't even going to root, but after years of doing it I couldn't help myself.

You have the latest build, I would just watch the mf3 root thread and wait a bit--:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TLE152:
Hey guys,

I bricked my device and successfully restored it. But I couldn't access the recovery mode. I could only access it by using the "Quick boot" app.

I have no idea what the keys is for it. I've tried Home + Volume Up and Power but nothing. It just restarts the boot and then boots up fully. Same with power and volume up only.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, TLE152

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyro6128:
I need some advice. So I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that it currently out of warranty, but I have an extended warranty through my credit card. The screen has image burn in that I've tried to fix with the "Galaxy Nexus Screen Diagnostic" app, which didn't work. I get zero sound from the external speaker now, and factory resets dont fix it. Lastly, the phone constantly drops a data connection. I love the phone, but this one was a warranty refurb that has gotten worse over time. Anyway, my cc company needs a repair estimate to attach to my claim. The problem is that everywhere I go is requiring me to leave my phone so they can take it apart before giving me an estimate. I need my phone for work and can't afford to leave it with someone for a day or 2 to get it done. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a repair estimate, even if it says the phone isn't worth the repair, without having to leave my phone for a bit?

I appreciate any help
[General Questions and Answers] ogrich31:
I just bought myself a pair of Bose Quietcomfort 15's so that I can have undisturbed naps (with or without music). Only problem is I cannot hear my alarm on my phone because of the noise cancelation on the headphones. Additionally, the alarm sound that goes through to the headphones is not loud enough either. My question is: is there an alarm app that allows me to control headphone volume when the alarm goes off? I know I can independently control how loud my phone speakers are (regardless if the phone is on silent or whatever).

If not, is there another solution? Right now, I am keeping my phone in my pocket to feel the vibrations, but that alone might not be enough.

Also, keep in mind that even on the loudest speaker volumes, I can only barely hear the phone because of the noise cancelation.

Any input or alternative methods/tips is appreciated.

Oh, and I have a Galaxy S3.

Thanks,

Richard

Any programs or solution that help me?? thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
Wrong section - should be in General questions. However, there are a bunch of threads with the same problem. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing you can do to have T-Mobile's unblock it; or should I say that I know of.

You can request for a refund from the seller. If you got it on eBay, get them and PayPal involve. Or just unlock it and use on another network -simple wireless or At&t. Good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually would prob be better in Q&A. Did you call tmob support? Thats the only way I know of to see if its really blacklisted.

Or maybe a yower or sim problem.

Did you root or try anything else?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
I have: HTC raider, root, s-on.

I want: install a kernel without changing roms

threads say: installing roms and kernels together

I kept trying to install kernels however they dont take. I had to use ruu to fix my phone a couple of times (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.43.631.2_Radio_3.05.4740.21_34.30.701040.22_release_264282_signed).

I tried the gui flashing app and only ended up boot looping.

I read some where to use an old kozmik kernel to fix the problem and go from there, but they never provided file, link or version.

I use the all in one kit by hasoon (thanks for the program), but his kernel flashing doesnt work.

I use the adb method but it doesnt take. using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28397272&postcount=214.

I wanted to install kangbang or a kernel that is stable and optimizes battery use.

If someone could give me a hand that would be awesome.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
I don't think you can flash a kernel to an RUU Rom. You need to flash the deoxed zipalined version first that's already been rooted and then you could try a different kernel. Never tried it though. There is one of those roms floating around here by a user named Jirv I think
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
installed a kernel

I installed:

[Kernel]Vivid ICS(v007)OC~1.73GHz/UV/ZRAM/Intellidemand/DualCore/PowerSaving[Jun-07]

I found out that I had to mount the system first before doing anything.

My phone says it has the faux kernel on it. Now if you say that i needed a rom, does that mean its not fully installed or since the dev said it can be installed on stock, then everything is ok?

I wonder if I have to mount the system every time I want to install a kernel even if the instructions dont say it....

Here you go guys, since it seems people are having trouble building the trees for JB, here they are.

Vendor Tree

https://github.com/pio-masaki/android_vendor_a100.git

Device T20-common (needed unless you condense it down to a single device tree)

https://github.com/pio-masaki/android_device_t20-common.git

Device A100

https://github.com/pio-masaki/android_device_a100.git

Kernel source used was always the CM9 source by Iconia-Dev.

There should be no more excuses for people not being able to build working JB ROMs without me anymore :highfive:

Now, go build stuff! I expect to see AOKP, CM, PA, PAC and whatever else flooding this place.

If you have issues go ahead and ask for help here, I'll help as I can, for instance, I can't recall if this has the GPS fix or not, etc. I'll update the trees as fixes happen to be mentioned, I won't know otherwise.

https://github.com/pio-masaki/android_device_a100/commit/6ae5614fd94fab6041688a0aa5b6a23e6d5b1b0f

Removed the cm.dependencies file, its not official so it wasn't doing any good. Alternatively you can have it aim at my git if you choose. If you decide to save me the trouble, please send a pull request.

https://github.com/pio-masaki/android_device_a100/commit/81b968a731f6235d955469a76bc5e32557b40ea7

Use prebuilt kernel binary -

Includes kernel binary, matching modules, and changes to a100.mk and BoardConfig.mk files for using prebuilt instead of source (boardconfig.mk), blocked, not removed, lines for building the kernel inline. If you want to build inline, unblock the lines for the source and config, and block the prebuilt line below it. A100.mk got lines added for handling the kernel binary checking, moving, and module copying over.

Vendor remains the same.

T20-Common:

https://github.com/pio-masaki/andro...mmit/dfe757097dd4c5c22fe0cf05d9c371800a425e57

Removed two lines from overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml that interfere with building CM10, you can choose to leave these out, or address the issue yourself. If you do, please send a pull request.

Side note, as I'm testing the trees again there just happens to be a CM10 building which will be available when it completes, as usual I can make no promises on its condition as I can't test it. Nothing special, nothing changed, phablet mode UI, as I offered a fresher build for hardslog for his rebase to the A100 builds, I figured I'd take the time to check over the trees again. There may be more changes but I won't be posting them unless its major.
