if you are trying to boot to the recovery then you will get a flashing blue screen, because something is wrong with it, flash this : http://androidforums.com/galaxy-rin...overy-clockworkmod-6-0-3-7-recovery-ring.html

then this from there: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-rin...-kernel-oc-rbheromax-rb3-kernel-v6-0-1-a.html

tell me what happens from there

Yea, seemed to have worked, though i still get the yellow exploitation error sign at boot. when in recovery down at the bottom, it indicates "E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log" aside from that, it works fine..

glad to have been of service, and yeah the yellow triangle went away for me after i switched from win to mac and used Heimdall to flash, and the same when i switched from Mac to my current Linux Mint 15 install and used heimdall from there. Perhaps try flashing recovery from Heimdall and see if the result is duplicated? there is a windows machttp://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ and linux version that can be found here:

you wouldn't know of a rom that could possibly be suited for this current phone that i am manipulating? would you?

We are still working on Cyanogen but we have a custom stock rom (labeled rb3mod in the thread list)

 

[mikelane94]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only took 10 minutes to unbrick my phone.

 

[DattKiddKFC]

Does anyone else get the "not enough storage" notification? also it says i need an update but won't restart to update. i tried factory resting through settings and it just says powering off for like 10 min before i give up. tried going into stock recovery and got a flashing blue screen and i had o do this process all over again :/ am i doing something wrong?

 

[Ragedroid]

I got the flashing blue screen and installed cwm like was posted. Stock still not booting up. I was having that problem where the screen froze on the samsung logo after the virgin mobile bootsplash. I am able to access files using adb and I want to back up as much as possible.

Does anyone know an easier method than doing 'adb pull <foldername>' ?

my phone won't boot so I can't use any decent apps and I don't believe I can root it using framaroot since the kernel isn't loading or something. I'm not really sure what's going on but this has been an ongoing issue with me.

if load rbheromax's thing through odin, will I lose my personal data like messages?

thanks people

 

[rbheromax]

i think so, it just depends if I packed a blank userdata.ext4.img but i cant remember cuz that was so long ago.

 

[darkrelik696]

Thank you very much for this stock.tar not my phone but chick had it less then a month and randomly was stuck in boot loop. Odin3 v3.04 does work to flash this .tar as well.

 

[edwin179]

F irst!
Cool bro, now we can brick to our hearts content
Glad to see you got it to successfully flash

Edit: also, steal the instructions (on how to flash with Odin) from my kernel thread and use it in your OP

can you help me how to unbrick my samsung galaxy ring please i can still go to download mode

 

[Severane]

Thanks guys! You saved me! I was in an infinite bootloop due to screwing with my build.prop file. I flashed your stock rom on my Galaxy Ring and it went through, but when I rebooted my phone, it went to a flashing blue screen. But luckily, Orthuvas up there suggested to someone else to flash CWM Recovery to the phone, so I did and now it works like a charm Thanks to everyone!

 

[Bluntmagic95]

is this recovery stable?

I flash this and it keeps showing the virgin mobile boot animation is there a way to do a full wipe? CWMRecovery wipe is not working.

I am trying to do the same thing. I have successfully flashed CWM and the recovery file. My phone boots up and I can use it. However, when I try to root the phone with framaroot, it just freezes when I select Gandalf and then eveuntually reboots. Superuser will not update, when I use root checker it tells me the phone is not rooted.

I need to completely restore this phone back to stock. I have a Galaxy Rush recovery file that completely returned my phone back to stock and unrooted it. I was hoping this recovery would do the same but it didn't.

Does anyone know how or have the correct files to return the SPHm840 back to stock?
