Hey guys I got another legend but have a problem when I turn it on it always goes to the fastboot menu - sometimes the keys work and I can get to the stock recovery but then I'm stuck. Anybody knows what might be the problem and if its fixable?
Thanks

not to high jack this thread . but i had the same problem .
and now after a recovery ( finally ) the phone isnt working very well . the hard keys work then then suddenly they dont .
damn . i need a new phone
After 2 hours of phone being on....
My Thunderbolt booted to the recovery menu only. I tried recovery, it went throught the gyration and back to the recovery menu again. I tried all the other options too and still the same recovery menu.
There was some direct sunlight for a couple of hours but not really intense heat, and when I pulled the back off there was some condensation around the camera lens. I'm wondering if this would've caused it.
I had to get order a new phone (insured) because VZW couldn't do anything about it either. This issue was similar to mine, so I didn't start a new thread.
Any ideas?
If I do a compleat format of rom space ie system, data, cache, my phone will only boot to fast menu, perhaps your phone's rom space has been wiped, another possibility is bad sectors/bad blocks on the storage space have developed at the begining of the boot sector? please excuse my winblows terminology maybe that should be called mount points not boot sector.

This is certainly not related to VillianROM in any way.
I think it's a hardware problem - there's something wrong with display panel. If the backlight is dead you should barely see very dark image on the screen in bright lightning conditions.
Anyway, looks like there's nothing you nor your friend can do to fix it. You need to send it to service.

If the phone has USB debugging enabled by accident (I guess it's hard to turn it on blindly) then you can access it using adb shell. If you have custom recovery image installed, such as Clocwork or Amon_RA, you can boot to it and fave full access to your phone through USB using adb (or fastboot) so you can flash new ROM images.

Yes, what he said ^^.
I'll just add one more thing. To get to custom recovery easily, pull the battery out and put it back in again. Then perform what ever key combination to boot custom recovery.
Good luck to your friend!
You might also have more luck posting in the Wildfire sections where they me able to help. It does seem like a Hardware issue with the screen to me? Was it dropped or anything?
It seems like hardware. Probably connection between screen and PCB.
ya his phone dropped many times, ya it seems like hardware issue to me also..

You will have to be more specific than this...
Have you tried wiping Cache Partition and/or Dalvik Cache
When i boot the phone it never fully boots, when it finally gets to my lock screen the android system does not load. I can't do anything at all. I havent tried to root or anything. it just started and there was no reason why
the phone has finally booted to where my homepage would be but its a black screen that says android system on it and thats all. i can get to no apps or anything,
Im going too take a wild guess and say you either tried too install cwm without being rooted or u did not properly unlock your bootloadeR. Which is the case? Because this would not just happen did u read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

You might have to use rsd lite to flash a stock rom. If you look thru the posts in the dev section you will find what your looking for. I believe the post is labeled but don't quote me, how to root after sbf flash. I know it's something like that.
Read up on using rsd lite it's very easy once you read about it.
Best of luck to you.
If I can be of any further help feel free to pm me and I'll do my very best.

i can honestly say that i did not try to install anything on it. the phone was running a little slow as i was installing an app so i turned it off after it was done downloading and when i went to start it back up this happened. i was not trying to root or anything

Sounds like you should factory reset.
Turn off phone
Hold volume down and press power
Continue holding volume down until it says fastboot in upper left corner
Release volume down
Press volume down until you get android recovery in upper left corner
Press volume up
Find factory reset option ( not sure where since I don't have factory recovery anymore)

So last night i was playing around trying to test some ROMS and i manage to hit i think is format a partion in Recovery , and that mess up my PDA's , so i did the from here that got me my touch screen back correctly ..
But now when i turn on the phone i got this kinda linux style menu with all the option(fastboot , recovery etc ...) why is that ??
here's 2 pics of it..
The phone still boot up after the 5 sec for the menu ..
No one ever saw that ? or know what the problem is ..
I recall seeing that happen when the boot logo was f*ed up. Try flashing another boot logo.
This is soft brick, isn't it? Search for recovery from soft brick, many posts about that. Don't use RSD Lite.
Boot logo boot up after 5 sec like the menu says ..
And soft brick when im fully using my phone ?!!?
It's like if i turn a switch like on a PC when you boot and press ESC it show the boot process .. well it look like this... lol ..
I think it's one of my PDA that's screw up ..
I'm having the same boot issue on my Atrix. It also happened me after I accidentally pressed Format Partition in recovery mode. It didn't really bothered me until now, but now it's getting quiet annoying, because I often change SIM cards and the long boot time is boring. Hope you guys find a solution.
I had the same issue with my Atrix, just like @YBrazeau and @mrdodi.
And it happened I've fat-fingered the 'format partition' button...
Anyway, as I'm using custom rom Alien version #4, I've got the 'boot.img' from the rom file and tried to flash it using fastboot.
I'm still getting the same screen when booting up my mobile.
I'm gonna backup everything and try to apply the Alien rom again from scratch (factory reset). I don't even know if this is gonna work.
I'll let you know what I've got.
New ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Ron

The boot logo Turl mentioned above is not the same thing as a boot.img. A boot logo will be named logo.bin.
Search the Themes and Apps forum. There's a thread on how to make your own logo, and they have the stock one available for download along with instructions on how to install it.
Thanks, ghost_og, that worked!
@ghost_og & @turl1 thanks for the advice! that solved the problem.
happy holidays!

hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

flash a rom like hydrog3n rom, it doesnt need you to fully wipe so most likely you wont get a boot loop, once youve tried that, post here and ill reply

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

Unfortunately the poster that replied never bothers to read the OP and just shoves out any old nonsense .
jje
so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything
>>>>next time try to look up a guide on how to get into cwm recovery<<<<

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

Hi all,
Hope someone here can help me :-S
Ive got a HTC EVO3d gsm phone and thought it a good ideato flash Guerin with the latest leedroid software...
I really pundit but for one problem :-(
When I go to the menu screen which has all the icons on it which u can scroll through, the screen is not centred. It was when I initially flushed it but over time (a few days) all the icons which are on the left side seem to be half off the screen. Even the HTC calibration seems off..the calibration mark which u press is not on the edge of the screen but about 5mm off the side... Hope that makes sense....
Wipe all partitions except sd within your recovery and flash only the rom. See if the problem still exists.

Bering a noob at all this, could you please elaborate on that. When u say wipe all partitions except sd within recovery, do u mean for me to put my phone into recovery mode?? Sorry if I sound a tad dense here... Took me long enough to root and flash me phone ;-) also, by doing what u say, does that wipe my apps...reason I ask is coz I've got some notes in note pad app I don't want to loose :-(
Cheers
I wish I never done it now...
I've only just gone and bricked my evo 3d... cant get the bloody thing to 1 get past the white with green HTC logo screen, also when going into recovery mode and try to do a reboot or factory reset...actually any of the options all I get is a black screen with a tophat in the middle and nothing happens...
When I try a fastboot i get the PB99IMG.zip invalid image message...
So I replaced the latest image from my phone (which i also stored on my PC) with the one on my PC just incase for some reason the image became corrupt... but still nowt... Time to place foot to phone... unless anyone oot there knows what I can doo....
