Phone keeps turning off :@ - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just flashed xmjg5 including the modem and csc included in the package and have placed samset 1.9f used titanium backup to restore apps and system data n now the phone keeps deciding to turn off when going into sleep mode and I have to use the 10 sec power button hold so it turns any help? Can it be because of apps? Or does it require re-flashing the firmware?

bad idea
don't restore everything back
you can try going into recovery mode
and select Wipe Data, then also Wipe Cache
if that doesn't work
reflash again with Odin3 then INSTALL the applications manually again. Fresh, no restore from titanium backup
because it will break the firmware settings.

Done now just testing to see if it stops thanks for the help m8

***paragon rc5.1 stuck in desperate need of help!

This was supposed to be a pm to espyel developer of paragon rom. Sorry if I misspelled name.
I can't seem to pm or post on developer section cause im new here and threes a 10 post rule. I have searched for the last month and im just stuck. I need help! I have only my captivate I internet with a barely usable weak signal so its been very frustrating. I have learned a lot from this great forum but I can't get my problem fixed still.
Here is my copy of the pm which never goes thru for some weird reason. I just need some guidance as I have probably not done this right all the way thru.
First of all I want to thank you for all your hard work on this rom. I love it! I am in need of some help and I have been researching for the past 3 weeks with no answers. Im pretty new to all this stuff but anyways let me tell you my status as of now. I rooted my phone and was able to install the 5.1 paragon rom which I like a lot. I lost some apps due to tb not able to restore my quickoffice and other important apps. My problem is I can't seem to flash back to anything other than the paragon 5.1 install date. I have the rom manager flashed to recover other dates like when the phone was still stock version but nothing else works. It always fails! I tried installing the update rc6 and something is very wrong. After installed and rebooted phone stays on for nearly 5 minutes and reboots randomly also I try restoring apps and it doesn't work. Seems very laggy and I know from all the great reviews on the rc6 that its just me having this issue. Please help!!! What can I do from here to update my 5.1? My desktop just got fixed and I have no I internet yet other than my captivate which has real weak signals at my new house. I don't use the odin program you mention because of the desktop being down for over a month. Im limited to internet providers at the new house and I need to get it going soon. My captivate has been my internet portal for the last month and it sucks compared to my desktop not to mention poor signals here. I would like to tether my captivate to my desktop as well but have no clue on how to get it to work. I don't flash back to stock like you mention in your steps but I do delete data and cache and all. Like I said I love the work that you do and would love to donate soon. What can I do to enjoy the updates and full capabilities of this rom? Please help! Thanks in advance!
I would power phone off, hold volume up and down and power. When at&t comes up let go
Wipe cache partition
Go back
Advanced clockwork
Wipe davlik cache
Go back
Install zip from sd
Choose zip
Rc6
Flash
When done go back
Wipe both cache again
Factory reset
boot
See if that fixes it. Did you have oc settings saved at boot?
Odin would be nice though

I recommend using odin to flash back to stock and also do a master clear. After this you need to re-root, install rom manager, flash clockwork, reboot to recovery, and install rc6 from scratch. This method is recommended to avoid common issues. Good choice with paragon. Killer rom.

^^^ Thanks for the replies guys.
Good news is I got my desktop internet up temporarily using a wireless card and got a weak open signal.
Bad news is I am still lost! What Odin do I need and where can I download it from?
I tried searching and only found the odin3 but I'm hesitant to proceed with anything without getting some more info. What version do I need for my windows computer? 32 or 64 bit?
I have the SDK Manager on my desktop as well but still have no clue what to do with it or how to use it. I'm still looking into that.
Also, how can I get my phone to tether my desktop and get internet signal?
Is RC6 a full rom or just an update?
If I flash back to stock and reinstall RC6 would I need RC5.1 first then the RC6 update?

start>>run...type msinfo32.exe and enter...a window will come..click system summary..see system type on right hand side....x86 means 32 bits and x64 means 64 bits....So download Odin3 one click version for whatever version u have...its pretty simple...just download and start Odin...then put ur phone is download mode and plug the USB in the phone..if everything is right, u will see COM in Odin in yellow color...just click start and wait till it reboots
Also check the Odin for your phone...there is one for JH7 and one for Jh6....

you cant tether in stock 2.1(which u will get after using ODIn), but if u root ur phone use wireless tether 2.0.7 app
if u r still on paragon then go to settings>>wireless and network>> USB tethering...or wireless tethering...samsung has inbuilt settings for that in 2.2
I can walk u through odin steps pm me if u like I can also send you the correct odin to use

Thanks! I got the right driver and odin3 installed now and I'm tethering as well. works great!
Now I need to try and install RC6 update again using odin3 to flash back to stock. I hope it works with no issues!
Just so I'm on the right track.... Odin3 is the right odin program that I use right?
I don't know what jh7 or jh6 is. How do I check for this?

Rc6 should have a full rom version, I do not recall if there was a no wipe. Make sure you have the full wipe rom if flashing from stock

if you already have paragon rc 6 just simply do factory reset back-up your apps with the included titanium back-up, wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats from cwm recovery menu then reboot your phone. I doubt if you have tweak the over clocking/ voltage apps and not resetting it back to factory default when updating to rc 6 this may cause some issues. if you can open your oc/voltage control app in the menu simply remove boot setting, reset all the voltage slider to 0 and limit overclocking to 1000 mhz then apply, after that do tibu, factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats then reboot.

You know I did mean to mention this!!!
I did adjust my voltage and saved them. I remember running a quad test result of 1454. I never did remove the boot though! Maybe that's all that it was not able to flash to stock and rc6 not functioning right!!!
Thanks I'll give this a try.
So I used odin3 to flash back to stock 2.1 eclair.
Now I can't root my phone anymore!
Usb drivers are not picking up the device and I can't use desktop to transfer root files. I tried downloading some root zips to my phone but it doesn't except the downloads. I can't flash using clockwork because I am not rooted now.
I can't get adb to work even though I follow each step by step of the sdk download.
I'm in a worst situation now than before. Any help would be appreciated!!!

paragon rc 6 is already pre rooted you don't need to root your phone when installing paragon rc 6 just download the full room and the update zip and paste/copy it into your internal sd card. try installing samsung kies mini in your computer it will also install the corresponding driver. once your computer running odin recognizes your phone do a master clear. to do this just enable debugging mode but don't turn off your phone your phone will then reboot itself after the process. install the update zip first with cwm you have to do it twice. first the 3 button combo recovery it is a blue one the default in eclair then install update zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=490798&d=1295155828 once you have install it it will be back again to recovery mode and now a green color now install again the full rom of paragon rc6 http://xda.deanhatescoffee.com/roms/paragon-rc6-full.zip then wait for the phone to reboot.
I just wanted to give a BIG thanks to oxlong27.
You saved me big time from bricking my phone and loosing all data or worst.
They need a counter next to the thanks button! Haha!
I appreciate you going out the way and guiding me step by step over the phone, email, and text. I love my phone more than ever now!!! Everything works great and I'm lovin' the di11ligaf rom. Thanks a bunch bro!!! I didn't think this forum had members like you but I was wrong. Thanks to everybody else who replied with suggestions too!

[Q] Phone, contact, mobile data problem

Hey guys,
I've recently recovered from a problem using odin3
That problem involved restocking from cognition to froyo
I mistakenly tried restoring from 2.1 so the phone could not go on past galaxy logo and so I used odin3
Odin3 - Download mode - hit 'start' on odin3
I did not factory reset
From there when I got back to 2.1 exclair, I updated, rooted, used kernel to resolve signature issue when trying to go into CWM recovery. Then I restored using CWM. Backup was successful.
After the backup, I felt the phone being a bit slower than before. Then today the 'phone' became unresponsive. I could not call or even press buttons and when I tap on contact nothing would pop up but black screen. When I try to enable mobile data, it would fail to do so.
All of these issues are resolved for a while when I reboot my phone.
I am not sure why my captivate is having trouble with mobile stuff...
Any ideas?

Did you restore via titanium backup? I am guessing here but I would BET that some setting got carried over either via tibu or something left on the phone since you didn't factory reset. I would SUGGEST running tibu and backing up ALL your apps again. Then factory reset. Then reinstall by opening up market so that you have to sign back into your Google account. Then go to market and reload any apps in your account via the market. Then make sure to also reinstall titanium backup. Then use the BATCH MODE and ONLY restore USER APPS and maybe USER APP and DATA. MAKE SURE NO SYSTEM APPS GET RESTORED.

Hey! That is exactly what I did!
I first downgraded and then did factory reset
Moved titanium backup folder to computer and used them to restore only missing apps and data
My captivate is working great once again

strange behaviour of my galaxy

hey folks,
today, i changed the sim card of my galaxy to see if my new contract already has service. it did. but that is not the story. i changed the sim card back an booted the phone. unfortunately, i wrongfully plugged the sim in so that i had to turn it around. unpatiently, i removed the battery while android was already booted but the widgets and stuff weren't loaded yet. then turned the sim card, plugged the battery back in and now the phone doesn't start anymore. first i'm seeing the galaxy s gt-i9000logo. after that follows galaxy s and underneath cyanogenmod in letters. but the fancy animation of cyanogen doesn't start.
i am able to get into download mode but not into recovery (cwm). i'm on cyanogen mod 9 build 17 of teamhacksung (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593).
any clues what happend to my phone and how to make it work like a charm again?
thanks!
First try cleaning cache and dalvik from recovery and boot else clear cache/dalvik and then re-install rom again.
how can i clean the cash and dalvik if i can't get to cwm?
If you have titanium back installed then there is an option to clear it from its menu.
well, i have titanium backup installed on my phone but how can i access it?? maybe you could give me a short guide?
I've had this a couple times, try holding down 3 button combo while you are charging the phone. If you manage to get into recovery i highly doubt clearing cache etc will help. If you're able to get into cwm you'll prob have to reflash rom otherwise use Odin :/..

Goto titanium backup->hit menu key-> them click more button. There you can find option to clear dalvik cache. Hopes that helps you.

[Q] Optimus black bootloop

hello!
i'm quite new here and i would gladly appreciate if anybody could redirect me to an existing thread (if any) regarding my concern.
i have my phone installed with rom manager via google play.i made a rom backup as recommended before downloading the recommended cyanogenmod version for my phone. i followed all the instruction about the rom, devlik, cache etc. everything was going well, when suddenly during clockworkmode (forgive my spelling), my phone booted and i thought it successfully installed. but then i noticed that it was booting was continuous even after 10 mins and more. i panicked and i removed the battery. and then i tried the lg shortcut for recovery (i think) which then appear. i chose to restore backup and then reboot. but nothing happened. it still "booting". everytime i power on my phone, it only show the lg logo and the blinking shortcuts. i tried to vol+/- and power but to no avail. i cant go back to the recovery panel. what should i do? :'(
i would kindly appreciate any help you could extend to me.
thank you in advance!
Hello mitzibelle,
Looks like your backup is no good also....
Did you press any keys during the backup procedure? Because backup will stop and not finish if that happened resulting in a unfinished & unusable backup.
What you can do is download the rom you want to install again, to make sure the file is ok check the md5.
Copy this file to your sd card, reboot into recovery and choose install from sd. Browse to the zip file and install.
This should result in a working phone.
Let me know if it was useful or not.

I can't seem to reboot my phone into recovery because the volume+/- and power button combination has no effect. if i put a new rom in the sd card and placed in again in the phone, will the hardware buttons work again? is having a "defective" backup rom affecting the recovery button shortcut or is it a different problem?
thank you for your help
You should be able to enter clockworkmod recovery by pressing the G button below the volume buttons. As soon as the 4 buttons staft to flash. Or just turn it off and on again and start bashing the G key immediately.
As soon as you enter cmw you might also try to flash your previously downloaded file again. Worked for me a few times.
A defective backup does not have any influence on the hardware buttons, also placing a downloaded rom on the sd would not affect the buttons.
Don't forget to clear the caches before you install your downloaded rom if it's different then the one you used when the phone was still working..... Maybe it's wise to clean the caches anyways concerning your previous problems. Wipe factory, cache & dalvik cache also. Dalvik cache can be found under the advanced menu option.
Hope this is useful

If you can't go into recovery you have to do emergency recovery with Smart Flash Tool.
Pressing the G-key repeatedly on boot to go into recovery is only if it has Huexxs G-recovery.

hi there!
i just did the instructions in the link, and it works!
I have to flash it twice because i forget to clear cache, delvik, and restore factory setting.
i hope my battery would not die very quickly (i usually have a battery life of 12 hours on standby with minimal texting) and hope to not encounter any probs in the next few days.

[Q] Have I bricked my Note? What can I do?

My note was working fine on a stock rooted 4.1.2 rom and root kernel with Philz touch 5 recovery until this morning it suddenly froze. I left it for a minute to see if it would do anything, but it stayed frozen. I took the battery out and put it back in. It showed the boot logo, moved onto the "Samsung" animated screen but then froze right at the end of this screen, and started booting again and continued to do this forever.
I've tried formatting everything and flashing new kernels and roms in the recovery to no avail.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery fortunately.
I don't need root or anything, I just want a working phone as fast as possible. I don't need to keep any of my files either.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Cheers
Try clearing cache and dalvik cache first, this will preserve all your data. If that doesn't work, do a factory wipe from recovery, this will however result in all your data being lost. Of it still doesn't work, then I suggest a full reflash of a stock ROM using Odin.

If i am correct u should br on a loop.... saved myself from that by:
1)install odin in ur pc
2)put ur phone in download mode (power+volume down+home)
3)press volume up
4)once animation comes up connect ur phone to odin.it will automatically detect ur device.
5)put the proper kernels or md5 files in the correct colums
6) follow wat odin sez after that. Ur device wud be working fine

Thanks for the reply; unfortunately already tried AOTA to no avail
I suspect that the issue is to do with bad blocks in my phone's flash memory, it always fails right at the same place on "hidden.img".
I could try partitioning the memory so that it ignores the bad blocks in that area, but I'm not that good at that stuff
Does anyone have a PIT file for this please?
Cheers,
Luke
