So, it seems like I'm having my noob moment with the phone today, after rooting and installing the custom recovery (OUDHS), I tried to factory reset the phone (via the Settings option, not via recovery), and now it stays stuck at the Yellow Sprint screen, not booting past it.
I have already tried resetting to stock using the ODIN Tar that Garwynn posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469902, issue still persists.
Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
FIXED! After restoring using the TAR, booted to the stock recovery and formatted data, the phone booted up after that.

I had the same problem and tried several things but to no avail, I basically did the same thing listed here and it worked. I was worried for about 2 hours I had killed my phone already heh. Thanks.

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.

Thread moved to Q&A.
My tab is rooted, I have cwm 4.0.0.4 on the tab. I have been happily using TASK650 10 ROM. Today when I turned it on I had a garbled screen. Tried rebooting, get the same thing.
I rebooted into recovery and attempted to restore my latest nandroid back up. I got an error say the there was en error restoring \data.
I tried a couple other backups still had and got the same result. I now get no further then the boot animation. I was going to try factory reset/wipe etc and reinstall the ROM. After doing this realized I had deleted the zip.
So now I can't get my TAB to boot past the boot animation.
I have tried searching for a solution but I haven't had a lot of luck. If you can help or point me to a link or something, I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks
did you try wiping everything before restoring nand?

Yes, I tried that.
why can't you factory reset? Should boot fine to task10. Worst case, start over using odin.
Out of curiosity... Do u have a different version of CWM than the one u made the back up with? This happened to me last week. I had a different CWM version than when i made the back up so i got error when tryin to restore. I had to use odin

Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

figured it out. My post is below.

You get it figured out? I did the same thing. . My old apps still there. I can tell it is gingerbread, but nothing works now. I hope you got your figured out!!
When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.
Need some help, this is my daughter's phone and she was having problems on CM7 so I restored a nandroid for her back to the stock rom. She tried to do a factory reset (didnt know she wasnt supposed to, I totally forgot) and now nothing works. Ive tried restoring it again, flashing a different rom, but get the same result after reboot every time - back to recovery. Is there anything I can do to get this thing out of recovery and actually reboot to a rom?
Whyzor said:
- NEVER use Android Settings 'Factory Reset' from now on, only do factory reset & wipes from within recovery mode. Most ROMs should have this option removed from the Android settings.

Firstly thanks...i didn't know that we are not supposed to factory reset after a nand restore
Secondly, try flashing the original firmware using LGMDP
Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324105
If the link of v20c doesn't work, then try v10e i got my phone's life back when it almost got bricked once using this method.

Cant even get windows to recognize the phone while its in recovery, even after installing the optimus v drivers
EDIT: Got it fixed, I found a different recovery, flashed it, and all is good now. The problem must have been CWM.
good info to know
That sucks!
Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...
I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.
Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.
So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.
At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

Yeah, I'm not too worried about having to go through all that.. I should be able to restore apps from my external SD, I would think...
Did you have the same problem? Completely soft bricked and needed a full wipe? I'm a bit worried that the 99% wipe didn't work.

How did you re-root/recovery after the odin to MDK?
I have the MDK bootloader, but I've never had to odin back to stock.

The same way as when I first got my phone. I Odin'd the pre-release MD2 kernel, used motochopper to grant root access and install SuperSU, Odin'd back to MDK, then downloaded GooManager to install TWRP.
*Odin back MDK kernel... Not full factory image. Just clarifying
