[Q] Help me, noob here - Vibrant General

Ive tried searching, but no one seems to have the same problem im having. I just got a vibrant yesterday, and was able to root it today. Then I tried to do the lag fix, and then it made me end up with a black screen and the 4 droid buttons on the bottom stay lite up. Then I panic-ed and found out about odin so i downloaded that and then i used EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA in odin, but then when it was done it just left me in the system recovery mode. I can scroll up and down but when i try to hit enter (the power button) it does nothing.
Help me please!

Im sorry guys, u can delete this thread, god im such a newb!

I tried to flash it first with the CF-Root-JPH-v1.1.tar.
after that caused it to be stuck at boot, i tried it with 2 diff pits - 20100513, 20100803.
I can manage to get into recovery and the odin flash thing.
I've only had the phone for a few hours now, i've EXTENSIVELY searched google for over an hour!
however for some reason the xda seach won't work
I searched google with xda in front of my searches aswell with no luck. So sorry if this has been covered!! (it probably would've)
I understand that if i can get into recovery i'm not bricked or anything, but i'm a COMPLETE noob at this so could anyone PLEASE help me?

[Q] Stuck in Samsung Recovery Utils

Hey everyone!
I have never posted anything on a forum before, so please tell me if I do anything wrong. I have searched everywhere to find a solution for my problem, but I found nothing.
Today I accidentally got into the Samsung Recovery Utils of my galaxy 3. I have done nothing to the phone, all original, nothing flashed or rooted. But now I can't get out of this mode, if I restart the phone it automatically goes back into it.
Does anyone know how to get out of there?
Thank you a lot for helping me!
And I hope that this is the right forum to ask this question, as I said, I have never posted in a forum before.
Usually you should be able to reboot from recovery mode. Scroll to reboot Phone with the Volume Keys and klick with the Home Key... Your phone should restart.
Otherwise remove the battery, wait a few moments, plug the battery back in and try it again.
Good Luck
Thank you, I tried both several times, but I always end up in the recovery mode... I have no idea how i can get out of there! Do you maybe know something else I could do?
do the battery thing mentioned above. turn on your phone with vol up+ vol down+home +power (hold them for a while) and then try rebooting from the menu
here's the solution

Hey.. If ur on a Android 2.1 firmware and stuck on recovery every time...
just use the volume keys and chose the option "reboot" ... by the way.. its on default there.
after that just press the central key or called the "home key" two times consecutively..
ur good to go
I tried this several times, but I always end up in the Recovery Menu. When I pull out the battery, restart the phone and hold all those buttons including the power button my phone shows the Samsung Galaxy Logo and then reboots again, and then shows the Logo and reboots again. Only without holding the power button, and only the other ones I get into the Recovery Menu again. I really hope there is a way to get out of this mode! Thank you for all your help so far!
Hey I just saw the post in front of my other one
So yes I'm on Android 2.1 if that helps. And I tried this method several times, but when my phone restarts I always end up in the recovery mode by pressing nothing.
But thank you
try wipeing data and cache
I tried that out, but still rebooted into recovery mode all the time.
Because I couldn't find anything that solved my problem I just decided to flash my phone to a newer original firmware via odin. I just finished flashing and everything works fine as it did before, till now tho. I used the tutorial that is on this forum for flashing my I5800 and it worked perfectly fine, thank you for everyone's help anyway!
Now I hope that they will soon bring back froyo on kies, because it was deleted from the servers again today in Germany so I can't update. Hope that will happen soon!
I would recommend to forget about KIES... I am sorry but this software is a piece of crap!
Keep using the Odin Flasher. If you have some spare time install gsams nice lagfix and be happy about a very fast Froyo I5800
Edit:
Another funny thing about Kies: You can download the current version by using a US Proxy Server, which is also free of these annoying error messages at startup. But still there are much better alternatives, and the newest version (Kies 5 I think) is also incompatible to the I5800 Phone :-/
Yes, I really hate kies, that software is nothing good!
I think I will follow your advise to continue using odin flasher. Which froyo version is the best to install? I still have 2.1 on my phone. and then how do you install that lagfix? Sorry for all those questions, but I'm new to all this.

you are new to this? ok, then go to the development section and see the READ FIRST thread
I have already read through those threads, I just meant that I just started some days ago, I'm not a pro, I'm only someone who just started haha
So today I flashed to xxjpf froyo and I'm having no problems so far. everything is fine so my problem is solved and in addition I have froyo now

[Q] Buttons not working in bootmenu - help please

Hi all I have two A500's that ive been playing with. First one was rooted and flashed with no problems.
However the second one rooted fine but after using the A500APKFLASH tool the tablet hangs in Bootmenu Mode and none of the keys work to go to the options in the bootmenu.
All I can do at this stage is reboot and enter APK mode.
I have tried flashing various packages but they all do the same thing.
I would really appreciate some help as ive spent hours trying everything I can find. Im really annoyed as the first one went so well and the second one has failed at the last hurdle
Cheers
Riley
Quick update
I can now get past the bootloader screen by using an earlier build bootloader and holding down the volume up button while powering up, then switching the orientation hold button.
Although not sure where to go from here. Tablet is somewhat alive for now.
Is it possible to flash a ROM without using recovery?
OR just a bootloader?
I cant really tell what my problem is - the bootloader or the buttons.
The volume up button works when starting the tablet up but doesnt work at any other time. Volume down button works fine - except in bootloader/recovery.
Tried manually flashing a bootloader....still no buttons working though. I will keep updating my adventures until someone gets annoyed enough to answer me :laugh:
So after leaving it for a day, I can now access the bootloader and boot into recovery/fastboot/etc
So I can flash Roms, etc onto it. Im now getting stuck at the boot image

[Q] Stuck on bootloop

I'm stuck on a bootloop on the Samsung custom screen and I can't get into recovery mode. I'm not exactly sure what happened because my it's my brothers phone he says he was clearing his cache. I looked around on the forums to see what to do but I got even more confused. I'm using a Mac, so would it be a bigger problem to fix it? If this was a waste of time and this was already posted before with an answer, feel free to delete it. Thank you.
**EDIT**
I just got it into recovery mode, any help is wanted, thank you.
Is the phone stock? Is it rooted? I have no idea what recovery (stock or custom) you're running. Need more details
Are you trying the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Hold power +home+vol up. When the blue text in the upper corner shows, release power and continue to hold home+vol up.

[Q] After factory reset from the settingsNote 4 keeps saying installing system update

Hello there guys.
I have a problem with my Note 4 the SM-910F model.
I had some battery problems so I decided to go to my settings and factory reset my phone from the menu, Not through recovery mode or anything. Just through the samsung galaxy note 4 settings. I have rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root.
So now the phone is trying to turn on and it keeps saying Installing system update... with the android robot guy logo. It keeps coming on and off, on and off. The logo and text comes up for less than a second, and then it goes off for 3 seconds.. and comes back.
I don't know what to do. I am currently downloading the correct firmware for the phone, it's like 1.5 gigs.. and I've got Odin as well.. however my phone is not recognized. As in nothing is detected. So I don't know what I should do.
I even tried going to recovery mode by pressing VolUp+Power+Home button. Nothing.
Please help me.
Thank you!!
I am terribly sorry. I am an Idiot.
It was VolDown+Power+Home button. Now I am on the downloading screen...
Once again. I am sorry. I now fixed it somehow. I just had to read and look at the stupid guides.. which said VolDown.. not Up.
Please remove this thread.. or keep it so people can use this as an example..of how to be an idiot.
Dont be so mad bro
Just a mistake
One piece of advice for you is to install CWM, looks like you haven't installed it. So next time if you want to try out something you can do a backup.
