Screen goes black - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My vibrant running a rooted froyo started to act up today after it wouldnt play my mp3 files, saying how its the incorrect format or something. So after it said that for every song i restarted the phone. I get past the phone boot screen and i even get to see the bar up top that i could usually slide down but the rest is black, i hold the power button as if im going to shut it off and the power menu comes up and anything i do freezes the device. The bottom soft touch keys are turning on but seem to have no effect on anything the phone does. Im also getting these weird vibrations out of it every so often.
I got into recovery, tried deleting the caches, still nothing so i formatted the system partition since it gave me an error every time i tried to restore it. now its stuck at the vibrant screen.
Help please

well if you restored the rom and it dont pass the first screen you should install a kernel such as dead horse, dragon, overstock...and it should work because ive had that before

Easiest way is to Odin to stock...you are trying to run the wrong kernal on whatever rom you are using...they are incompatible

now i lost my clockwork recovery screen, when i press install update.zip it says that there is no such file. Il try stock now.

Back to stock now, working fine. I think i lost all my data though, i cant seem to find clockwork on the internal SD. Any way its still there?

ok brother so now reroot the phone and flash anything again... just read instructions and make sure its for vibrants

If bet you installed a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo one and it wiped your internal SD card....you news to toto the vibrant Bible and get the update.zip, move it to your internal SD...then reboot into recovery, then reinstall packages might have to hit reinstall packages twice...then you can flash whatever rom u want

Its working now, just need to update to froyo now. I guess next time i should get titanium back up as well as clockwork recovery. Off to start over again.
Thanks guys

If You Want To Flash A Different Rom There Is No Need To UpGrade To 2.2... But You Can Do It Anywas...

if you want to install the stock 2.2 you just put it in the internal sd card and flash it...but also you can use a program from samsung called kies mini....

[Q] How to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on droid eris?

Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

The first boot can take 10+ mins. Wait it out.
well the phone boots pass the skatebording androids and then it shows "ANDROID" with a while light scrolling through the letters and is been like that for about an hour now.

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...

Softbrick after downgrading from Bionix 1.6 to 1.4, help please?

I tried to downgrade for the sake of battery, and I believe I've softbricked.
I did disable lagfix prior to wiping and flashing. Even checked in terminal.
I managed to boot once. Downloaded Titanium and restored my apps/data, then removed the "remove-lagfix"s and rebooted. Got the linda voice, then "execute", boot logo, and... nothing. Black screen, touch buttons lit up. Sounds like the softbrick I've read of.
So yeah. What do I do to restore my phone to working condition? I have no nandroids, but I've no issue with unrooting/restoring to initial system conditions/etc.
I'm on Snow Leopard, Macbook Pro 2010. I'll dual boot a Windows if I need to.
Thanks a ton for help everyone!

Wipe > Reflash
Probably would be best to put the disable_voodoo file back in before flashing again.
Arg... But I can't seem to mount the phone on a Win XP netbook OR my MBP. :/ Will keep trying.
Make sure you installed the samsung drivers for your pc. You can find the link in the Vibrant Bible
Well, scratch all this. I managed to boot normally by just wiping everything (again) then rebooting without flashing anything. Dunno why it didn't happen earlier... either way, I'm okay now.
Very strange. Bad flash/wipes I suppose.

same thing with me... I flashed bonix 1.6 and tryed to flash back to stock rom via the recovery in rom manager. well it failed. when it booted back up it looked like stock but a bunch of force closes would come up. tryed to reflash via oden but it would just boot to galaxy s screen then go blank with the buttons at bottom lighting up then nothing.
now after a couple tryes with different roms it says cant mount dev/block/stl10 on the stock recovery...
so im guessing i am screwed because i dont have clockwork recovery.

Would one of these different roms be eugene373s froyo that doesnt brick? Cause thats been fixing similar problems to yours.
Use odin to flash to that with repartition checked in odin. Then flash back to stock with repartition unchecked.

[Q] im new here im freaking out!!! please help

so i rooted my thunderbolt and everything went fine. i installed the venomROM and it installed perfectly. i thought i knew what i was doing and tried to add the blue gps off one and i installed it through rom manager. this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003891 this is what i used.. now i have no home screen and my phone froze. i reset it and now its stuck on the boot screen were it just sais android in blue.. im freaking out idk what to do?? i dont know how to get it to boot up again or what? please help me outttt
just boot into recovery and flash another rom or install the default rom by flashing the RUU found on the development thread.
yeah but i dont know how to get to anything because it goes from the htc loading screen to the custom rom screen and just stays there i cant do anything with it =[
If you hold volume down and power at the same time it will boot to bootloader. From there, scroll down to reboot recovery, press power and you should boot to Clockwork.
omg i feel like you saved my life thank you so much. so i dont screw it up again how do i and things to roms? like i tried getting the blue virusRom but it was grey so i installed the one blue themed virusROM and it messed it all up lol
Glad that worked out. Just make a backup before you do anything you're unsure of next time and carefully read any directions given to prevent having to redo something (prevention > recovery). Worst case, you can flash back to what you had before a bad mod. Clockwork recovery has an option to back up your current rom before you do any sort of installing.
ok so say i want the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003891 in the #3 like how do i get that theres no links no specific directions it just confuses me. your being the biggest help i appreciate it
Save file to sd card, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache. Then pick advanced>wipe dalvik>go back. Then install zip from sd card>choose zip from card>find the rom's zip and install. Easy stuff.
You really should go through the stickies in the development thread and figure out what you're doing before flashing anything lest you turn your brand new phone into a brand new paperweight. With a kickstand.
im pretty sure thats what i did last time. i installed Virus ROM blue theme plus power cnt. zip. and it gave me no home screen. if you could link me so i could read up on this that would be wonderful. i feel like i only know how to instal full roms but not add themes without whiped my previouse rom? idkkkk. great now i just tried to boot in to recovery from rom manager and it wont boot. it asks if i want to boot into recovery i say yes and it just sits there. never moves or booots. this **** always happens to me i swear
Just some advice: ALWAYS make a backup before you flash anything. I know it's tedious but it will save you headaches like this in the future.
i did do a backup last time its just nothings loading from Rom manager, nothing will bott not even the backups. i feelll likes its not rooted anymore from wat happened earlier

Are you able to get the Virus rom to load and get your phone to boot up?
Or is your phone not working now at all?
Also, how did you load the Virus rom onto your phone? It's not in rom manager so you must have put the file on your SD card and loaded from there?

[Q] (Q) Soft Brick Atrix

Good afternoon all,
So last night I updated to Neutrino 2.2 using the normal factory clear/dalvik cache wipe and finishing with installing the .zip
The only difference in this case is that I downloaded the zip using my phone over Wi-Fi.
Unfortunately for me, the phone will only boot to the Motorola logo splash screen and go no further. In the past I have recovered from a backup but I am unable to in this case.
I have tried re-wiping and reinstalling the ROM multiple times hoping for some luck but....I never got lucky =(
I assume the .zip was corrupt some how and caused this blip.
Anything now is....How do I recover? I have full access to the recovery but am unable to mount the internal storage and I do not have an SD card.
Advice please?
Neutrino V2.2 has a problem where the first (and only first) boot will hang. Just pull battery and reboot. Also, make sure to do the wipes before flashing and not after.

ok it fixed itself....LOLOLOLOLOL
Dude, has the market been removed? Because I haven't got it.
I am so noob today, I know I must install the .zip via recovery!
Yes, you have to install the "Lite Gapps" add-on from the second post in the Neutrino thread.

Glad you got your phone working again. I'm just chiming in to say a few nights ago my phone did the same mirror-image thing (on the Wet Dream rom, not sure it matters). I'm not exactly sure why that happened. My best guess is the CPU temp was a little high (around 60C); it stopped after a few minutes, coincidentally after it cooled down a bit.
but yeah, got a little worried when it persisted after a complete reboot... :/

Every rom causes problems, freezes......

Hi there,
i tried a lot of word combinations to get a thread with my specific problem but i didnt manage it to find one.
So here is the deal:
i have german galaxy s 2 (9100, bought in september 2011) and i flashed it last year with darkyrom HD something gingerbread-style.
so it was rooted and all that stuff.
it worked pretty fast and it was stable and it looked sleak.
Last year in November i put Ressurrection remix 3.x (dont know which version of it) on my phone.
It had a lot of crashes, freezes and while playing ingress it always drained around 20% of the battery within 10-20minutes.
So i stopped it. I put the last version of it 3.1.3. of it onto my phone with a full wipe, cache partition, factory reset onto my phones and the problems went keep going.
As an example:
-I couldnt access options where i can select ringtones or to see what is on the sd. it crashed and went back to the "main screen".
-Yesterday i tried around 15 roms, and nearly everything except militant rom keep crashing while iam installing them.
-Sometimes it crashes already while iam installing the rom, sometimes its after a couple of hours, that i cant access the rom any more.
-The newest problem is, that sometimes the power button doesnt respond, when i push it (in jelly bam)
Please explain, what iam missing or is my phone just broke?
It never fell down, no water or anything freaking other things.
I hope you can help me.
should i send it back or what is wrong?
i dnt knw bt samsung.. bt may b it happens coz of when ur changing ur rom gb to i cs or jb whole operating system is diff so u hav to format ur sd card to make it working.

just hang around with the stupid official one?
If you did everything from Factory reset to changing kernel, and everything is still bad like that. I think that there's something with your phone's hardware.

just as an example, when i tried to put on the neatrom-lite on my phone, it crashes while iam selecting the country. and this is just 2-3seconds after booting into the fresh and new system.
something is completely ****ed up....
so right now, i have the militant rom on my phone, got booted up, but the power button doesnt work.... when the phone is on...
so everytime, when i want to switch of the screen, i have to wait, or take of the battery. and switching on is only possible with the home button.
whats wrong?
Given you have the same problems on stock, hardware problem. Back to stock, reset counter, send it in for warranty service (if you have warranty), if not, take it to local mobile repair shops.
reseting the counter... with stock? how to do that? i thought this is only possible with root? and i thought, as soon as i root, there is something already on the counter?

You have two option. Either flash a custom kernel (siyah, for example), then reset the counter using triangle away app. Then flash a stock firmware using odin. This wont increase the counter.
Or, if you have a USB jig, flash an older bootloader (have to careful here), then simply plug in the jig.

Unzip first.
I'd advice you to read about flashing with odin and watch a couple of videos on youtube before you put yourself up to it or else you're gonna have a bad flash, and that means trouble.
