Just flash a stock rom and wipe your data. That's all!
Try giving a good title. Writing urgent wont make it. You have to give a clue of your prob so that people here could easily know if they could help or not.
Hope that helps. Just sharing what I learned from posting on XDA.

I dont know much about unlocking so you better read about that. I cant link Jailbreaking and flashing together. I think it won't.
Well you have read about flashing then.

sad part is i just found out i can get into recovery... i mean thats good but i was going to make a backup later but when safestrap launched and when i pressed menu it wouldnt work so i figured oh well, but im now in it.
So if i flash the rom again i will still keep the unlock?

You're fine. I'm on T-Mobile and it will work.

[Q] Newbie question, please don't kill me!

So I had an old cyanogen mod flashed on my phone and nothing was going wrong. I think I flashed it in late November 2010, early December 2010. So I was fine with that and then I got bored. So I flashed the Dilli ROM and the market stopped working so I flashed to Serendipity and that's where the real problem started. Every time I would get a call, I would lose service automatically and the call would fail. I just thought it was a problem with the way I flashed it. So I then flashed the Phoenix ROM hoping that would fix the dialer problem but it didn't. I am currently on the newest phoenix ROM and I can download apps from the market, send and receive texts, make calls and even use the internet. The only thing I can't do is receive calls. I know when a call is coming because the phone starts to ring but before it shows me who is calling, it automatically loses service and fails the call. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do? Any information would really help. Thank you!!
Have you tried flashing to stock?

You might need to flash to stock then flash a different rom

The fact that you flashed multiple roms without knowing how to flash back to stock is idiotic. Flashing back to stock is the one thing you should know how to do because it can save your phone.
Read this ENTIRE guide and follow it step by step or you will continue to run into the problems you are having. These anomalies cant be diagnosed by us because your phone probably has files from numerous roms on it by now. Flashing back to stock and using a master clear allows you to diagnose issues much easier.

Hey noob, how about next time you post in the CM7 sticky instead of opening a new thread?
Deleted
Because I'm an idiot
That's most likely the modem. Find out what modem CM7 uses and as long as it's the same base as you're using now (i9000/i897), find the CWM for that modem and flash it.

You call that a slam? Tearing him apart? You must be a liberal. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. All these posts outside the stickies just make sharing that knowledge you speak of harder. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if there's a sticky with a dedicated subject that maybe that's where any posts on that subject should go? XDA is also about rules and they exist for the benefit of all.

WARNING regarding the OTA update

Hey guys, do not flash the OTA update manually with CWM, it bricked my tab an will most likely brick yours too.
Make sure your tab is stock 3.0.1 and wait patiently.

To clarify, I'm taking about the OTA zip from Google, not the cwm backup.

I'm not sure what I must do to go back to stock rom and recovery so I can receive OTA, do you have any link you can point me to?
Is this what I should do:

Tbh it's not such a crazy thing to think that the OTA was ok to flash with CWM.on the galaxy nexus that was fine to do.
But I learned my lesson and I'm starting to understand the reasons why

Just wondering if anyone has had any success in unbricking their tab yet. I was reading through old forum posts and there was a thread where fricorico had flashed a transformer rom and couldn't load fastboot or download mode. He said that he managed to get his tab into apx mode and could then eventually get the tab back up and running.
I can't post a link because I'm on the xda app but our forum isn't too big to find it and try. Also, not sure what or how to get into apx mode though so this post may be literally useless to most people. But maybe someone knowledgeable will remember something as a result.

I've brought mine to repair already. Nvflash doesn't work because our chip is locked with a special key. I've looked up a lot of things already when isi's tab bricked.

Waiting for the damn thing to discharge fully to see if I can get out of the APX loop..
It's been 3 days and the bloody thing is still recognised by the PC...
It's definetly possible to fix it!
I had this problem when I've flashed 10.1 rom on 10.1v.

Hai pals. Greetings to you.
I get one used galaxy note.
After i turn on the phone(With a inactive sim) i saw that there are some security measurements in that phone like Sending messages when changing the sim, Samsung's famous Mobile tracker etc.
All i need is.,
1. Is there any way to remove those settings by flashing custom ROMS or upgreade/degrade it legally.
2. I want it to be as new as factory made. Is there any possibilities.?
Please put your valuable suggestion here. Im total nOOb for this android things.:angel:

[Q] Custom Rom

Hey does anyone know if there are any custom Roms in the works for the AT&T Galaxy Note 3? Also can we use Roms from other carriers?
Thanks in advance.
No, there is only root at the moment. I believe they are trying to get the boot loader unlocked at the moment

Please assist, possibly bricked?

Hello. I am new here, Ive rooted, flashed, modded, all that jazz. Ive always found my answers on XDA here, but I cannot seem to be able to find anything so far. I will keep looking, but I am having some troubles with my virgin mobile HTC desire 510.
I was attempting something with a smart watch, which honestly has nothing to do with this, and I tried flashing the incorrect kernel. It was for cricket. I had a small moment where I didnt read carefully enough, and now I am stuck on the htc boot screen, and I cannot get it to boot regardless of what I do. I can get to fastboot, and recovery. Any help would REALLY be appreciated in this matter, I dont care if I have to return to stock.
Then reflash the correct kernel? You got into fastboot... So flash the kernel through fastboot

I actually have tried, but I get the same results. It stops booting at the htc screen.
I may have figured it out. I had thought my backup was gone, I may be fine. I will try a restore.

Mind giving some details as to what you did? The point of these forums are to help the community as well as yourself... would be good if some details were included to help people who may have this problem in the future. I'm guessing you restored from your backup though? Correct?
