Hey guys, if Odin is not reading the phone, remove USB and phone and try a new USB port. Works for me every time

    My vibrant is stuck on a boot loop, i was in the middle of installing ics and now it is in a boot loop. What can i do, if you want i can post of video of this boot loop for any advice.

    Just because you didn't care to read ANY of the stickies around... I'll make sure you do, i'll give you instructions but lets see if you can go back a page and click the stickies to learn how to do all of this:
    you will need to get into download mode, and odin - this is the safest and recommended route
    if you want to take a bit of a risk you can try to go into recovery and flash the ROM you were in before - this can lead to more bootloops/brick

    If only there was a guide that explained what to do when you get a bootloop while installing ICS. Hmmm. (Hint: see my sig).

    If that doesn't work, rider's is the way to go.

    Edit:: saw that you posted your video. That is a fast ass bootloop. Hit your thanks button by accident. Anyways try pulling your battery and booting into recovery and reflashing ICS again over itself. Did you wipe and factory reset?

    Rider, see if you can help him out. My boy just woke up. Let me get him back to sleep and ill be back after these messages.

    PS I just PM'd him the CM7 Rom.

    thanks, i hope someone can help me out.

    read this post, i think you missed it, answer the questions while i watch the video guide and see if theres anything wrong in there.

    ok, now that i've seen the video this is not any normal BOOT LOOP.
    What exactly did you do to get this? Which flashing procedures did you look at?
    Can you at all get into recovery/download mode?* most important question*
    Do you have Froyo Bootloaders or GB bootloaders? (if you don't know what these are and have not messed with bootloaders you are on Froyo.)


    I have just read what the recovery says through the video
    It pretty much says that it is trying to flash ICS PASSION, but it cannot because your sdcard is either a) wiped b) not mounted c) the ICS PASSION file is corrupted and/or ics passion has been deleted somehow.


    -after reading some latest posts from you, i'm sorry for making you feel like a dumbass but you did not read the instructions, mainly the stickies, and did not follow the instructions on how to get to ICS from eclair. That is why. Many do not and I prefer not to give any help at all to people who can't help themselves, but I understand your situation and i'll try to help. Sorry for offending you if I did, its just that some people need to be treated that way so they open their eyes and start reading around.

    Okay..... so after watching that guide. I have never seen ANYONE using that method, mainly because he didn't flash ANY kind of CM7 kernel etc.
    Most of his instructions were right, but he just did something on his phone that seemed unusual, but i guess worked for him...
