[Q] Please help!! Galaxy s wouldnot turn on! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.
Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.
Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?
Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!
Tried to flash again but still stuck at

nothing even comes up when i plug in the charger

Maybe try to download firmware again as well as pit file. Then try to flash it again. Its really hard to brick this phone. Of course I understand that you have usb drivers properly installed and you know well flashing procedure with odin.

it'll not be possible to flash anything if you can't even mange to turn it on
at the very least in the worse case scenario you should see this fail screen of a bad flash

you could try going into RECOVERY MODE first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
then select the options to Wipe Cache, then Wipe Data
reboot,
now go back into Download Mode
and try to flash with Odin3 again
and make sure Check the box to REPARTITION

can you go into the download screen?

if you are able to go to that screen, then you can flash with Odin3 again

No, can't go into download or recovery mode

then, you wont be able to do much to fix it.
take it back to the store, tell them your computer rebooted when it was updating.

thank you

I had that problem also (the one from the picture)....
Don't take your phone to the store... =)
Just try this:
- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can
- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination
- Count to 3 and say "CĂș da velha"
- Ask someone to plug in the battery
Welcome to download mode... I hope =)
tell me about it

Hello guys.
I just have one very weird problem with my phone.
Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.
What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.
When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!
Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?
Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?
I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.
Thanks.

If you would have searched just a little...
Either way.
Volume Down + Home Button + Power button. Keep them pressed for atleast 6 seconds. That will basically softreset your phone and get it into Download Mode.
tried it several times..
6th. time it did worked.. !!!!!!!!!
thnx so mutch
I have the same screen as posted above.
I also got it in download-mode..but when I try to flash the phone in ODIN it's not progressing...

What is going wrong? Can anybody please give some advice? I read threads and guides but I don't know how to solve this...I believe my earlier attempt to flash the phone went wrong..
The first time I flashed I used JG5, but after a flash the phone did not start normally..no normal homescreen etc. Now it cant start at all..
Edit:
I am trying to flash it again, but nothing happens..
im trying to post a screenshot which im not allowed to do apparantly..
i fixed it by holding doing the hard reset, after that, reboot your PC before the next attempt..
did the trick for me !
I already had this problem too, and naturaly tried two things
A: remove battery => useless
B: hold on the download mode keys => after a few seconds it worked ^^
but just in case, what is this hard reset that you are speaking about ???
This is what I did so far, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Step by step:
1. Loaded PIT (version 513) and PHONE / CODE / SRS in Odin
2. SIM and SD card phone
3. Download-mode phone
4. Connected phone to PC
5. Flashed phone (JG5)
6. Flashing done, rebooted phone
7. Android screen appeared with a number of options (update file / ...)
8. Pressed the Home-button (one of the options chosen, can not remember for sure ..)
9. Rebooted phone but does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
10. After this nothing happens ..
11. put phone in recovery mode (hard reset)
12. put in download mode (soft reset)
13. tried to re-flash procedure but did not start
14. Kies reinstalled
15. Restarted PC
16. Reconnected phone
17. Tried other USB ports
18. Flash-process started again but no progress
19. Started again from step 1 (now with PIT 512 and firmware WJM1 PIT)
20. Now flash did start
21. Restarted phone, again same screen from Step 7
22. Chose repartion-option and then rebooted
23. Restarted phone again but progress does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
24. After this nothing happens again ..
I'm using Windows 7 64bit..Geez, ealier I had no problems at all with flashing my old samsung jet..
Would it be possible that my galaxy S is just like dead or something?
Does it hang on the logo screen or does it close the logo screen and then hang?
After flashing it does stay on the logo screen for a while, 5-10 minutes sometimes.
I am not tying to be patronizing, i am actually trying to help

Tom is right. Point 23 takes some minutes to proceed the first time the device is flashed.
the steps work like they are discribed, buth pleass be patient or try after a reboot of both PC and Phone !

Whatever pit file you are using try the other one, for me only 512 works when i use 513 it does the same as yours and hangs there.

@do0fusz I got the same screen, trying to flash another bootloader:'(
How did you get this screen?
"the steps work like they are discribed" <- you mean described by MaltaSoron
I know that i can to get downloading mode with the USB-resistor connector, but, it is possible to reflash the right bootloader, later?
If not, how can y get a recovery mode? It could restore the bootloader?
Thanks in advance!!!

If you're still stuck, you can unplug it and start over. But before you do, jot down what the Odin log shows, so we can tell what got flashed up to the hang.
Also, post more info, like what firmware you were running, what brand unit, etc.
Will do.. Thank you sir.
roto's the man for any problems as always lol
I have a sch-i800 tab (verizon) at this point. Odin is waiting forever with movinand.mst
Any thoughts to unstick?
I am in the same boat with a Vzw Tab. Has there been any luck with anyone since Feb?
any fix for this?
I'm on a Verizon Tab and getting stuck at this part too. Been an hour so far. Does it take a long time? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance.
Still nothing on this???
just happened to me finally failed tab shut down and will not turn back on
I'm in the same boat. Trying to flash Roto-JMI-Fullv2 after a botched flash with CWM. Tab is currently showing the hone, triangle and PC screen, and Odin 1.70 is stuck on movinand.mst. My tab is a verizon unit.
Does anyone solved this movinand.mst freeze problem?
Ouch! Bricked mine too. Too bad that Tablet was really a nice device.
I guess when Sprint says they don't want your device updated you'd better listen.
I can't even get back to factory reset now.
Any update on this?
I am on the same situation:
Odin hangs at movinand.mst
Here's the log:
Code:
<ID:0/018> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/018> zImage
<ID:0/018> param.lfs
<ID:0/018> cache.rfs
<ID:0/018> dbdata.rfs

<ID:0/018> movinand.mst
<ID:0/018>
<ID:0/018> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tired out of curiosity to create a new package WITHOUT movinand.mst, and it flashes with no problems (but of course would't boot!)
So I guess the problem really is at movinand.mst?
Another theory: maybe it's not movinand.mst per se, but just that Odin hang after certain time, and being movinand the last one it happen to be there?
At a certain point I had to replace my USB cable. As I was in China when I bought the spare cable I cannot be sure about it's quality, maybe slower cable- causes odin's timeout?
seems the problem is actually movinand.mst
I created 2 copies of the .TAR, one with everything BUT movinand.mst, one with only movinand.mst. The first one loads with no problem, the one with movinand.mst fails.
With other fw (eg: XXJQ1) i get the same situation on hidden.rfs.
something wrong with these 2...
it's defintely me
I am having problems with all possible roms: i have tried JME, JQ1 and others, always something wrong happens at the end.
The best I can get to is to get to the flashing logo, but no boot.
I have tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0 (while in recovery mode) and it tells me I am clean..
i dont know what to do, it doesnt look like a heavy brick, but I cannot get out of it!
Can you still enter download mode? try manually flashing factoryfs and kernel from a stock rom via heimdall.
That usually manages to get me out of a soft brick.
@will
I had the phone and pc screen to after a botched odin load. Its rather known as the "you suck at loading software" screen lol. Rest assured its just a soft brick if you can atleast get to it or see it so all hope isn't lost. Its another download mode screen basically.

Although mine is the tmo version relatively the basic mechanics should be doable.
I fixed mine by plugging it into the computer and once that screen comes on odin should detect it. It took a while so just be patient. Once odin shows the yellow com box have the pit and the roms tar file ready. Click Start and it should catch and load the rom. That's what i did and it got me back up and running.
If your battery is dead then just plug it in the wallcharger for 2hrs. Should give the battery enough charge to complete the procedure.
My advice is to find a stock Verizon GB rom with pit and tar files. After that just look for a custom kernel that gives cwm.
After that you can flash other roms once your back in action. Hope this helped a fellow gtab user ;-)

hi @Derrian, i can get to download mode.
I have tried many Rom's but all fail at either hidden.rfs of movinand.mst (depending their content).
Could you suggest me any ROM in particular you have tried?
Do You think it has to be THE original from brand (china unicom) or it can be any stock version?
thanks!

I would suggest using Boca, it is in my opinion the easiest to flash.
I cannot flash the Base ROM

I am reading Boca's instructions for the first time.
If I understand correctly, the bases are the same as Overcome: the assumptions is that you install the ROM using CWM recovery of a clean and working GB_Stock_safe_v5 install, then flash OC's kernel to convert FS to ext4.
But in my case I cannot Flash GB_Stock_safe_v5, as Odin would fail at hidden.rfs.
I am not sure that is a good idea to change FS formatting on a semi-bricked tab as mine?
Could I revert back if something goes wrong?

Thanks for the reply but I can't do it. The phone has now stopped responding completely.
It gives no response on pressing these key combinations. Though I have tried these combinations in the morning and were working fine.
I think I'll give it a night and try these again in morning.

No I did not.
I did try to wipe data but it did not succeed. It gets stuck on formatting /data and then nothing happens (i left it as it is for about an hour and I guess it should not take that much time).
I also did try to wipe cache but then the phone doesnt respond.
Also last night I did flashed it using ODIN. It was successful but the problem still remains same.
Can you explain the Dalvik Cache procedure a little more?
Even flashing did not work

After you flash the firmware with Odin, you tried to get into recovery? Remove the battery, put it back, simultaneously press the three buttons (volume up, menu and power). If you get into recovery, you have to touch factory reset and restart.
Try a reflash with Odin ...
If it still does not work, service Samsung is recommended ...

I just turned off the phone using power button and selecting Power Off. Just to turn it off again (that too for some stupid sort of vodafone services error: 0x05).

But I dont believe them, dont know why but I have a gut feeling that the motherboard is fine as the ODIN flash procedure went very smoothly, unsuccessful though... also phone is still responding during recovery procedure, though not completing the procedure correctly.
Also, I just dont wanna believe my phone is dead.

Then take it to some other service, and see what they will say. You have unofficial service there (non Samsung)?
But that what is happening in Odin telling you that they are not lying you.

Help with brick please

Hey all,
As per title, A while back I rooted and installed a few custom roms on my unit before sticking with one named
"GT-7000_SweetROM_V11.1_LTA" and all was going well until a "super user" app update and a "low battery" met in the middle and my phone lost power and turned off.
Now my phone will not boot and freezes on the samsung logo, pressing vol up + power + home will, not bring up the recovery mode
but vol down + power + home will take me to a download screen, Odin, if my research is right.
I've read a few posts with the same symptoms as me but with different reasons for getting there in the first place and I'm unsure of what to do.
If my reading has been correct I'm not hard bricked but am in a bit of a spot and PC Odin can help me out, but then there are different versions of Odin as well.
Just some more bits and peices that I can think of to try and give you all as much info as possible. here goes,
I do remember Philz ???? something on my phone and was able to switch between roms by placing them on the external micro sd card and using vol up + power + home to navigate a menu.
Whilst writing this post I have had my unit plugged in via usb and it justs sits there with the battery icon showing but it shows no movement ie: the little cirle will not spin nor will the green charge level go up. Also it tried to install "mobi" something onto my pc.
Another problem I'm having is finding a valid download link for PC Odin any help there would be cool.
If you need anymore info I'll do my best but I'm very new to this, many thanks
E2A: have downloaded Odin and phone is reconized there just need to learn how to use the Prog
Download and flash PhilZ kernel 15.5 odin version. Flask on via odin (put it in pda tab and flash) and see if you can get your phone working again or can get into recovery. If not download and.flash whole stock jb rom. There is also a ltc rom odin version recently posted in one of the two dev threads.
As how to use odin for note, find the famous sticky thread by dr.ketan in our n7000 forum.

@rinksy55 you said low battery right? charge the battery first and then try to go to recovery and download mode.

Yeah low battery which doesnt seem to be charging acording to the widget but I can enter download mode whilst plugged in to usb but not recovery
just for info my phone acts the same wether plugged into comp or the wall socket with samsung hardware
guess Im screwed eh?
thanks
I would try a new battery.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm sure the battery is fine it's the phone thats mucked up, I've not had any problems to idicate my battery was failing
Are there any other avenues I could explore? I'm willing to get a new battery but then I could have 1 phone and 2 dead batteries and no way of charging.
When I tried flashing PhilZ kernel and the jb rom with Odin it was Odin that did its thing then reported to have failed, the phone had power to it the whole time and was showing the download screen with the message "do not turn off target".
thanks for you help so far

Thanks for helping out :good:
Drivers are up to date, installed kies then uninstalled leaving the drivers behind.
USB, have used all the ports on my pc
Changed cable, used the wife's S3 cable
Ports, I can open ports easy, thought that was just router tho
PC, not sure what you mean there but running Win7 with decent spec.
Still the same outcome, fails on connection
thanks for taking the time tho

dont think its the rom heres the text from odin:

1. Install the latest drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/
2. Reboot
3. Disable all antiviruses
4. On your phone:
a) Boot into download mode
b) Plug your phone into your PC (only plug it into the USB 2.0 ports, don't do it on 3.0 or 1.1 or 1.0 etc.)
c) Follow the on screen instructions saying something along the lines of "Press volume up to continue" - you want to continue
d) Check whether Odin has detected your phone, if it has continue to step 5
5. Flash a stock ROM or kernel
6. If it succeeds, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset <= ONLY IF IT ISN"T ICS
OK.. Odin is not able to get to the PIT mappings.. There seems to be some connection issues. Check with newer version of Odin.. Also probably a different pc.

I got that mobogenie rubbish by accident once too, it came with daemon tools.
Can you perhaps try those steps on another computer?

I do have an old lappy but it has Ubuntu installed and that drives me nuts lol, only other option is to put Odin plus Rom onto memory stick and visit a friend..
You said something about PIT and Ive seen some posts on it, I guess that roue is last resort?
really appreciate you help here
If there is a proper connection, then odin should be able to get the partition mapping from the phone and will be displayed as
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

and if I cant get a proper connection (I can't, Odin never gets past SetupConnection) Im doomed?
That's why try on a different pc.
Would a clean install of win7 work, I have spare hard drive I could try, I'm guessing youre thinking driver probs on my pc

There is no revert back to 4.4.2. What you've linked to is jelly bean. And there is no going back there. What is your issue exactly?

Have you tried either pulling the battery or holding the power button for about 15 seconds to boot back into system? ? Or is there no system to go back to? Which there should be with stock recovery.

Battery pull shuts off phone then I put it back in and it just goes to download mode. if I hold the power button for 15 seconds it just boots back into download mode. It is stock recovery.

All I can think to do is boot into recovery and hit reboot system. Then let it sit. It usually takes mine about 5 mins from there. We can't use odin and without safe strap there is no flashing a replacement rom.
If you can get to att boot screen give it as long as you can to boot

That's crazy. From a dead phone if you hold volume up home key and power button in that order you can't get to recovery? I don't mean to state the obvious but I don't know how familiar you are. I've had 8 note 3s and I've never been in a spot where I can't get to recovery.

I'm in the exact same situation and have been trying everything that's been posted but still no success. I'm going to hangout here and see if we can find something that can be done or point us in the right direction. Just letting you know you're not alone on this bud
Hey guys. Check out my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65467618&postcount=6, read through everything and start at step #4 where you flash the NC2 stock image in the odin AP slot, this should get your phone working again. After that feel free to continue to follow the steps to root, etc. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll do my best to continue to help.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is fine. I've went out of my way testing these to try and permanently brick this phone. I even got it to stop being detected by a computer while in download mode and was still able to recover.
Best of luck
I have a question and I hope someone is still reading through these threads. I have a Galaxy Note 3 AT&T SM-N900A. When I bought it a couple weeks ago, (I already own another one but a T-Mobile variant, to which I've had no issues) I wanted to root it. So I did. Then I removed some system apps. Then I realized I wanted to update it since it was only 4.3! Well OTA was out of the question and so was KIES as I rooted. SO I thought it'd be best to unroot and flash stock firmware and continue to update via OTA. That has not happened. Every time I try to flash stock firmware, regardless of the version of Odin, regardless of where I downloaded the firmware, I always get a fail!!! NOTHING WORKS!!! I even unistalled KIES, reinstalled drivers, tried different USB chords, including the one that came with the phone!!!! I just want to get it back to it's original state so that I can update it via OTA or KIES. I'll paste the ODIN message and a thumbnail that has a screenshot of my phone in download mode when ODIN fails. If ANYONE can help in ANY WAY, I'll donate!!!!! I'll do almost anything!! This is driving me crazy and I'm not one who likes to admit defeat and bring it to Best Buy, especially since Best Buy is over an hour away from here!!! There has to be a way I CAN do this! Here is the ODIN fail message:
<ID:0/006> Added!!

Odin may be failing because the bootloader on the phone may be newer that the bootloader you are flashing.

So I need to root it again first, then update it to Lollipop using this guide, correct?
Rooting has nothing to do with installing recovery, boot loader, or ROM.
You are using the wrong file for your phone.
