With phone off,hold volumes up and down and plug cable into phone.Don't touch power when doing this.That should get you to download mode.

The same thing happened to me and i was stuck at the Galaxy GT 19000 boot splash.

What i did was go into Download mode using ADB:

*adb reboot download*

use Odin to restore your rom!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey98277:
I think the easiest thing to do is flash any of the ROM that have Kernels in them, I have only had to use odin once, and that was just to try it out. I always keep stuff on my card, But i guess if you didnt going back to stock through odin would be the next best thing.

Follow the directions in the forum. for me I held up and down with power and had my wife plug it into the usb for me, worked the one time i tried. but thats why the thread is better from what most have said each phone is a little different depending upon date it was made.

Depends on what you flash, but even if its stock with no root, root is very easy on the phone, just do whatever worked for you the first time.

check an app that needs root to operate and use it, if it works your good if not root it. Most likely if you have the superuser app then you should be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reksp13:
Do not help this ass hole. I PM'ed him and told him he could hit me up on AIM If he still needs help. So he did. I spent over three hours on AIM with him helping him get his phone back to stock and rooted. He said he wanted to pay me and I told him no just a simple thanks would do. Then even made him a custom ROM based off of Bionix with apps that he asked for and replaced sounds with droidx ones custom walls and live walls. I uploaded it to my rapidshare account and he downloaded it. Said he installed it and then I sent him the ssl_fix.zip and then he replyed "someone warned me bout not taking personal zips from someone from xda sorry i cant use that man, im paranoid now... have a good one." Then he signed off. What a D#*K!!!!! This guy was being so cool at first asking me for my facebook and stuff. As soon as he sent me the last message he blocked me from his facebook. Good thing he did cause I would have riped him a new one there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
Sounds like a nice ROM, still have the link?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikolaiT:
I think he's just a noob who doesn't realixe that people will actually help him here, and not try to trick him into screwing up his phone more than it already is. Perhaps he was from the iphone scene before, as am I, and they'll try to trick you, perhaps that's where the mistrust is coming from.

Also,

Brandon:

ROM's come in a .zip that you put on your internal SD card as update.zip, and you flash it through recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reksp13:
I hear you. But you would think after I spent all that time with him getting him back to stock and rooted he would known I was helping him. Mabe Im to nice and he said to himself "whats with this guy? Must be up to something." I dont know. Its cool. I still did my part and helped.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pants31:
Long story short....I work for TMO, got a Vibrant from samsung for going to a seminar, I rooted and the 1st OTA soft bricked me. I used odin to flash stock back in and eveything was cool. I wound up having to do the J16 MR using KIES since I got the phone directly from Samsung, they sent me an email telling me that, guess there was a lot of problems. Anyway, here I am about as bricked as a brick can get! I was gettin tired of waiting for a froyo update we are never going to see and tryed flashing one into the phone using odin, problem was it was not for the i9000 series, it was for the GT i9000 series from overseas, and I was stuck in the loader sceen. I got back into download mode plugged back in to odin and went back to stock. Woke up this morning and TMO had sent me the OTA again, my dumbass hit accpt instead of postpone and here I am with a Vibrant that wont do a thing. Ive read every thread, forum and all. I cant get a thing from my vibrant, no power, no signs of life....Think I am REALLY bricked? And am I the first asshole to actually be able to accomplish this? Any help would be great.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] einstein_1970:
I have, some how, deleted the BTTrayCE.exe file on my HTC Diamond.

To resolve the problem, I flashed the diamond with a new ROM... the file was still missing.

I took the BTTrayCE.exe file for a Touch Pro and pasted it in the WINDOWS folder.... still did not work.

Can anyone give me the right version of this file please?

Thanks
[HD2 General] wildlikesafari:
so, ive definitely learned my lesson about buying things off of craigslist..however, it was the ONLY way i could afford this phone, and ive been DYING for this phone. ANYWHO, it was "Bricked" when i bought it, but was guaranteed it was fixable, guy says hes been selling these for the past few months, and hes never had a problem. i dont want to fix it myself, but just want to know if it IS fixable. i dont know what was flashed on here, wont turn on, no charge signal. all i get is when i plug it into the pc, im told i need to download the qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM, then im told it cant be located. should i have hope since ATLEAST the pc recognizes something is connected or was i just bamboozled? oh...it also wont recognize as connected in the windows mobile device center or activesync.

thanks for any info or help you can provide!

it REALLY is appreciated.:D
[HD2 General] gaarry:
Can you boot into bootloader. If so, just HSPL, run a Task 29 and flash a ROM.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
and no charge light, nothing, right?

Its a ..51.. version radio vs tmous phone. Its dead. The only way to repair it is with a JTAG device. Hunt around for specialist phone repair shops, theyre the few places likely to have one, or if you're handy with taking appart, you can buy jtag boxes for around 150 dollars or so, plus another 15/20 for the cradle to hold the mainboard, which will let you re write the bootloader (or some such voodoo). google "ort jtag" or "riff jtag".

I dont know any specifics about it, theres a thread somewhere in this tmous section where a guy talks about it, he seems to know what hes doing.
[HD2 General] wildlikesafari:
yeah, no bootloader, no light, nothing!

I gave it to my dad to look at...he said its dead, he's going to send it back to HTC, hopefully they replace it..im so depressed, I've been wanting this phone FOREVER!!

has anyone dealt with HTC? how long does a repair take? cost?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
loads of people have successfully claimed on warranty, just be sure not to mention flashing and all will be well.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Agenator:
Hi folks,

I recently flashed the three files that were needed for the OTA froyo. I am liking the speed so far.

One thing I am noticing though is horrible battery life. I charge my phone fully last night and had it unplugged for 3 hours or so. In that time I fielded one 15min phone call, watched a single YouTube video, and installed a few apps. Phone sat idle for the majorty of that time.

Checked the battery status and saw it was at 60%.

Is this normal? I haven't seen the phone with such poor battery life.

Just curious, thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AndroidKills:
Ehh my battery life also sucks. Charging process seems to be longer (strangely). And before I know my battery from 100 is 70 and an hour later 40 something.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickislauw:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Gnitrops:
A Hero is about to get to my hands, but reports state that it is bricked. I don't know the phone's history yet, but it appears that the phone went off during a update.

What happens:

- fastboot recognizes it when connected to PC.

- it is possible to charge the phone.

- doing the VolUp power thing, the phone vibrates three times and the green LED turns on.

Is this unbrickable? If so, how?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Yep, should be fixable by running a HTC RUU with the phone hooked up to a pc .

Hi, I've upgraded this to windows 6.5, but my hands free wont work. Whether trying to use headphones, connected to the mini USB, listening to music or using phone, the sound will only come out the phone's speaker. Not very good for private listening!!

This was a phone I bought as faulty and flashed/upgraded ROM, so have no idea if the headphones worked properly before. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance for any advice:)

In Orlando, Fl ever since Hsdpa rolled out here If been getting little to no 3g here, spoke to a tmob rep and he saying something about no longer connecting to at&t's frequencies so data loss is possible, idk but it needs to get resolved its been a couple of weeks.

[Nexus One General] wdfowty:
I've only had issues in my house, but that's because my house is a service-killer. No bars anywhere downstairs, but almost full 3G bars in my room. lol

Have you tried the new 5.XX series radios yet? I'm running 5.08 and notice little to no data loss or other data issues. There are moments of weirdness, but a quick disable/enable of mobile data does the trick in the most severe of situations.

Gonna upgrade to 5.12 now and see what's different (apparently touchscreen ****ty-ness is fixed). Worth a shot. Use fastboot though, never flash a radio in recovery, leaves too much up to chance.
[Nexus One General] millowster07:
I feel ya.. I was in universal last night and I had 4-5 bars of 3g and no internet, or at least really slooooow internet when it did work. T mobile needs to ramp up Orlando's and others servers/towers. When too many people use the internet at the same time it kills the towers bandwidth. While at Universal's Horror nights I figure everyone in the 45min-2Hr lines for the houses are using it. So that is bad. But once I left Orlando it worked fine.

Had Froyo Radio... Flashed new 5.12 today one and seems better. At least Agps is working much better.
[Nexus One General] SphericalPuma:
Glad to know it's not just me. I had been searching on the Internet for people with the same issues and decided to come here. I'm in stl and my data connection will either work or not. Ive tried turning off the phone and then back on, airplane, etc.

Right now it works but it's nowhere near the 4 megs i was pulling last night, its hovering around 500 Kbps when it decides to work. Im sure tmobile is just upgrading some stuff.

Hey guys, I have tried taking care of my problem with sync'ing. I've searched the forums here on XDA, and searched Google. But I want to start using XDAndroid 2.2 regularly and I am having some problems with sync'ing.

I have three e-mail addresses from different domains. Do i need to sync all of these? or do I only need to sync the address that my android account is set up on on my phone? Also, It said I needed to enable Google Sync from my settings. Which I have been searching, and cannot find.. I feel like such a noob and once someone tells me, I'll do a big facepalm. :mad:

Please help me. :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
when I hit settings I only have "Accounts and Import". I guess I'm looking for a "Googly Sync" option.

Do I just have to enable IMAP or POP3?

Sorry, I've had a very off day.. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
No, it is not like syncing with winmo, you only have to sync your phone with your google account....it syncs more than email

its the 7th option down under settings

are you using a current build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
I don't think I gave you enough information. I'm wanting to switch over to android. I'm currently using the latest build of the Energy ROM (SenCity style). The only reason I'm not using andriod is that I dont know how to send my contacts from Windows into the Android build.

I've been told that Google Sync does it. I was trying to enable it from my gmail account. Where do I go to get to the settings you were referring to?

Sorry about the confusion. the help is much appreciated! thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
So if your contacts aren't already sync'd with your GMail account from WinMo, the initial sync will knock them out.

Setup PIM Backup or something similar so you can backup all your contacts. Then setup your GMail account in your Exchange settings for WinMo - so you go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Comm Manager -> MS Direct Push - from there you enter your GMail settings. m.google.com for the server, be sure to use ssl. I'm not positive if it does knock out your existing contacts, but if it does after you setup the server, import your contacts back from PIM Backup or whatever you used to backup your contacts, run another sync in ActiveSync (not with your computer, with GMail) - you should now have all your contacts in GMail under "My Contacts" - then you can just sync in Android. Easy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
Yeah I have all of that set up on my phone, It just says sync error.

I thought I would have to enable something in my gmail account on my computer for the sync to go through?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
you shouldnt have to, least i didnt

make you you are entering everything correctly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Are you getting the sync error in Android or WinMo? I'm going to assume WinMo.

When you setup the exchange server, ONLY check email & contacts. You can sync the calendar, but I found if you just setup your gmail account without ever visiting your calendar, the sync will fail. Other than that, I don't think there's anything to enable assuming you're using the correct settings... Always make sure to put in the entire email address, w/the @gmail.com @ the end.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
I was getting the error in WinMo. Sorry about being so unclear! woops.

Hazzah! I disabled Calendars and Tasks. and now Contacts are currently being sync'd! woo! I wanted Calendars and Tasks to sync because Univ. of South Florida uses Google Apps and I had my calendar on my phone. Everyone who has android phones, just one touch and all of their calendar and schedule is on their phone. I'll just do this then :D haha.

Anyways, as soon as I log into Android with my gmail account will the contacts be there? Or I need to enable a sync through there? (I've had midterms this week and tonight ill be able to finally sit down and play with this).

Really Appreciate the help guys!

Edit: it is syncing but it is doing so at like one contact per 5 minutes. Maybe I need to go to an empty field to get decent reception with TMO. sigh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm that seems odd to me. All my 100+ contacts sync in about a minute, on my cell radio's connection.

Tasks will never sync (I believe...) but Calendar can sync assuming you have used it on your GMail account. I'm pretty sure they mention this on the Google Sync help page ;)

Easiest way in Android is to just setup the account in "Accounts & Sync".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dcmedic:
If you're using an exchange account perhaps. Just sync your contacts with that account, then in android have it sync contacts.

That how I migrated from WinMo to XDANDROID. The only thing I use my gmail account for is the marketplace.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
Currently, I have my contacts in my gmail account (i checked)

I booted up Android and went to Settings --> Accounts and Sync. I put in my email and password and then it asked for a username. I tried using just the begining of my email (khoyifish) and then I tried using my whole email (khoyifish@gmail.com) then it says retrieving account information and gets and error message. i enabled the two SSL options, because thats how the exchange works in WInMo. Any suggestions? thanks!

I'm frustrated, but I love android!

Edit: I let the WInMo Exchange run in the background, so I didnt have to worry about it taking a long time :D haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
So when you picked 'Add account' under Accounts & Sync, did you pick Google or Corporate...? Sounds like you picked corporate... you need to pick Google.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
Umm... It didnt let me pick any?

I'm running 2.2 Froyo btw.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
We're talking about Android right!?!?

Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Add Account. You should now have two choices, "Corporate" or "Google"... No?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] khoyifish:
Yeah.. haha I just booted up Android real quick to show you.

I go settings --> Accoutns and Sync and it asks for
