Well this is what a stock recovery looks like:

and this is what the second screen looks like:

[Q] Anyone had this before? (pictures)

So here is my story, i tried to install a new rom via rom manager.
It was all going well until i hit the back button (stupid).
The phone was not responding so i pulled the battery out.
Tried to boot and then i got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yes, i know that's normal
Then i got this:
When i touch the power button the screen goes off.
When i touch it again you will see the screen again.
So then i boot into Recovery with the "!" screen.
1. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
2. Flash zip from sd
But then i get this error: Nohup
Can someone please help me?
Can you get into USB fastboot?

I'v spoken to Koush, I helped with with ClockworkMOD on the Galaxy Tab. Why?
Just asking and wondering why you are such a big fan of CWM and promoter of FF

CWM is the only recovery image for the Legend. So many issues could be solved if people just used fakeflash.
Well if you look at it that way It would be really nice if there was a stickie called "FakeFlash: try this before you ask !" in bold red size 25 text
edit: in every one of those 4 forums
Fake flash is in the roll-up sticky in the dev section
Yes, but not in red bold font In this way I kinda like modaco's pinned topics

Does this app work for you guys?

My wife is trying to load some diet apps on her A7, but we're running into a really strange bug... they ask you to verify your age, but then they won't let you change your birth year to anything lower than 2010! If you try to continue, it says that you must be 18 to use the app!
I went through and installed all the updates available and put the market back on and everything, but it's still doing the same thing. This happens on several apps and there is nothing in the comments that indicates it's happening to other users. Maybe it's an A7 thing???

One of the apps is called "Diet and Food Tracket" by SparkPeople. Could you guys give it a try and let me know if it works for you?
Thanks a bunch!

Well, it started with Factory firmware and the first update eLocity release (12/21/10?) and first gen hacked gapps, but it's acting the same with Factory firmware 2.0.134 and bestialbub's market mod.
Thanks,
Billy
I get the same thing with the birthyear field in several apps, like fitness ones, and even astrology ones. I'm running the dextermod 1.3.

Log into www.play.google.com. Search for androidlost app. Click install. It will download the app to your device whenever it gets connected to a network- WiFi or data, provided your google account odds still active in the device. Then you can log into www.androidlost.com and control your device.

trying ur method.... thanks guy.... ,-)
And since you haven't resisted a phone number to androidlost in your tab, I think you'll also need to install androidlost jumpstart. Follow the instructions given in the website.
Hope you get your tab back. If you do get it back, install Cerberus and get a license.

2nd hand phone - almost blank screen after booting & selecting language

Apparently the owner ran into an issue after trying to update to kit Kat with Odin. I presume he tried to flash the stock firmware since be doesnt know what root means. He says it boots up fine and you manage to get into the select language screen. But afterwards you get a sparse black screen.

Sounds fixable. I should be able Odin another rom and flash cwm, root it and custom rom etc right?

Looks like it's running acustom ROM at the moment.
If the owner knows how to flash firmware on a phone, why hasn't he fixed it himself?

Um. The screenshot is of my phone showing his screenshot on gumtree.
This is his screenshot
I get what you mean though. Isn't Odin only used by users who know? Since normal users would perhaps use kies? Lol
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Sigh. Bought the phone, for 200 though. I flashed a stock firmware via Odin. Still same screen as above. Sigh. I tried rooting it and getting Philz touch on it. Touch input does not seem to work. Loaded aosp roms and kernels onto the phone. Flashed it via Philz recovery. Gives me bootloops.
Ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Managed to somehow install a aosp rom. Touch input doesn't work? Wtf? How do I fix it? Screen lights up fine so what's the issue?
Managed to get it linked to adb somehow. Any way I can fix the touch issue?
