Hi,
Because i want to install the new supercurio fix i decided to remove the lagfix with the update script by Tayutama. So i did 'removelagfix.sh' to remove it. But on reboot it took some time on the Galaxy S logo. That disappeared and now there is just a black screen and the backlights are on continuously.
Do i have to keep waiting ? Or reflash firmware ?
Thanks for helping me.
Reflash is prob. the only alt. I found myself in a similar situation but with another lagfix.
Omg. I tried to flash JM7 using the method in this thread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821). After using odin for the first time (only pit file) it succeeds. But now i can't get it to download mode anymore. I can't boot. Can't go into recovery. Nothing happens. I have the normal I9000 version. I removed battery, did everything. But nothing works.
Can anyone please help. I'm really afraid i ****ed up my phone using. I already found it strange that i had to use odin just with pit and nothing else. Now i have bricked phone atm

Hi
Has anyone discovered how to solve the problem of the black screen after logo S
the phone is dead?
Everything started suddenly. I think the voodoo lagfix was failed and the phone
froze. I rebooted but it stayed at the Logo S and I could here the robot voice
of the voodoo lagfix trying to do something.
I left the phone for few hours but nothing. I did that few times.
Then I decided to flash it with Odin.
After 10 flashes with different firmwares and different pit
the phone at the first boot was going to the recovery and was saying
that it can not mount the flash block. I could not even wipe the partitions because
of the mount problem. When I was starting the phone it was going to the Logo S
and then black screen and it was dead.
After flashing with Heidel I was able to overcome the mount problem
but again the phone was dead after the Logo S.
Do you know how to overcome this dead situation after the logo S?
I want to flash it with any ROM as long as it works and then I will reflash it with Kies.
I also tried to flash it with Kies during download mode but Kies keeps trying
to find it but at the end it fails.
I have a 3 button phone but for some reason I am unable to properly flash it.
Any suggestions before I throw the phone out of the window??
Thanks
You are experiencing the sdcard corruption problem. No way to fix it. Phone needs to be replaced. No way to fix it.
I though the repartition in Odin does that thing.
Is there any hack which will repartion and format the internal SD card?
Ive had this happen a number of times. Dont know what causes it, but I find that if I limit the amount of extra mods, I seem to be ok. Extra Mods, like Lag Fix (my Bell seems just fine without it running on jpk), and anything that really involves modifying the system files... But gotta love you guys that work on these things, you keep the scene alive.
Anyway what I do to fix that problem is Flash back to TMobile Vibrant ROM and for whatever reason it works for me. Filename that I use is T959UVJFD, forget where I got it, but its on here somewhere. I have only ever used pit 512, and if I have to, I go back to JH2 or JM8 modem and CSC.
Id try it without flashing the Radio and CSC first, if it doesnt work try changing them.
Good Luck,
By the way I am now running JPK, using the JH2 radio and CSC and have the 850 band on Bell (at least I think I have it, my phone normally runs on 1900), rooted, and no other mods.
So you are saying that you recovered from this black screen and can't mount the dbdata?
Interesting.
I will try it. I dont care if the rom does not really work. I want the rom to re-format
the internal SD. After that I will flash my nandroid.
I think we need a debugging kernel which we can flash it and it can give us all the necessery utilities i.e. parted, kernel with all file system support, nandroid,
applying the update.zip from the external sd etc
I will post the result later. I hope your trick to work
unfortunatelly I have the same results
For a moment I thought I can see something.
I had shell so I did the adb shell and I could see the redbend_us
which I think it is from the voodoo lag fix.
After the second reboot I lost everything.
I flashed it with the rom you suggested but with everything.
I will try without the modem but I think it will not make any difference
sounds like you have this problem

i also face this situation . . what i done was
1. install JM8 over stock firmware
2. then tayutama ROM with voodoo lag fix v 1.1
3. after my phone works well and i was happy
4. then i do factory reset cause of my internet doesnt work but market works
5. then i got some weird massages on my phone . . they keep coming
6. i decided to flash again with JM8 . .
7. i flashed the phone then the these thing coming to me
boot animation and after black screen . . . . .ive flashes four times with JM8 but didn't worked
ive then decided to do some froyo build on the dead phone
then i flash my phone over JPK with 803.pit
successfully flashed but on recovery screen stops with some error
then i reflashed it with JPK + 512.pit . . .
then my phone booted and runinng JPK
thats cools down my hart . . . .still i remember that 1 hour with no screen phone
now using JPK + Doc's ROM with OCLF v2+
abt JPK its cool with new features . . . . .
i think lag fixes done some thing when we flash . . .
think we have to remove lag fix before the flash
but how ?????
I tried to flash with the JPK as you suggested with 512 and 813 pit
and at both times it gave me the error
it can't mount the dbdata and sd
Of course as usual goes to Logo S and then I have the Black screen of death
Hmmm, kinda strange. I have never used the Voodoo fix, but have played with the One-Click fix since not using it my phone seems much more stable. Not sure if it is related.
Anyway did you try a Wipe after flashing the TMobile Rom? And in recovery does it still give you the errors? If memory serves me correct after flashing that ROM, the errors I was getting in Recovery mode were gone.
Did you try JPK with repartion enable . . .try it with 803 first and after 512 . .
think it will work remember to repartion enables
I tried everything. I think I flashed me phone more than 20 times.
Yesterday I tried it flash it with Kies assuming kies will format the internal SD.
THere is a registry key for emergency mode and I enabled it.
I put my phone in download mode and kies detected it and start flashing with the
original firmware.
When the procedure finished kies powered off the phone.
That was the last time I saw my phone alive.
I can not power it on. It is dead.
I dont know what Kies did to the phone but the phone is dead
Now I have to send it to Samsung
So i tried to updated to a custom firmware after i JUST received my galaxy S back.
And it got bricked.
It failed during the initial flash with Odin, no big worry i thought as i'll just reflash it. It constantly failed until I changed the USB slot. Now after I've even completed the flash the phone boots up shows the "GT-i9000/m" logo then shows those 9 bars that show its trying to load the battery charger. Then the screen goes black and it tries that over and over again.
Anybody had this problem? I think it's a soft brick and can be resolved before sending it back in and losing the phone for another month.
is download mode working then ? does odin recognise the phone ??
if so download a stock firmware with all 3 files and pit. and use re-partition. and see how that goes.
actually if it is a software problem there are lots of possible procedure to fix that just reflash it with an official firmware using odin
I've tried the following:
use odin 512pit and a tar file and using odin with a 803pit and a tar file.
Both resulted in the same thing.
Is there a specific FW i should try?
edit:
With and without repartitioning.
try JM8 with PIT and pda.modem,csc. and re partition again.
I know wher eto get JM8, but how/where do I get the PDA.modem and csc?
hmm yea i know what u mean, most modern firmwares only come in 1 file now. download that. but im not sure what pit to use. il have a look now.
i think its 512 pit
here try this
Tried everything. I think it might be a hardware error.
Last ditch effort of Jm8 in odin 1.0 now... will let you know if it works.
Edit:Nothing worked.
Gonna go return the phone/send it back to samsung.
Double EDIT:
Flashed the phone back with JL2 that i got from Samsung and checked EVERYTHING in ODIN. Phone went past the boot logo repetition and into the "S" but doesn't do anything more. Just gets stuck after that. (corrupted internal SD)
so if the JL2 didnt succeed what would be on it at present ? if its a custom rom just go back to odin do a flash and disconnect half way through and totally brick the phone..
then blame it on a kies update when you return it. you dont want them to find out you have modified it in any way not recommended by samsung. or they may not replace and may charge you.
I was on Froyo 2.2 and i tried to downgrade using Odin n it completed but now my Galaxy S doesn't reboot fully, it turns on like normal, the animation comes up too but when the S in the middle of the screen comes it flashes like it normally does but after a mim or so it jus goes black n turns off!, i removed the battery n sim card n tried it again but still nothing, i can go into download mode and recovery mode which i did to wipe the data but that still didnt work, can anyone help please?!
If you can go to download mode, try flashing again.
I tried that but the flashing fails for sum reason =/
You haven't said what you ROM you were flashing. It does sound like a bad flash. Have you tried downloading the ROM again, maybe from a different source, or possibly go to the samfirmwares page and choose something like the JM8 ROM ( and use odin with repartition ticked). I have had a similar problem like this and this route solved the problem.
Best of luck.
What version of odin are you using? I softbricked my sgs trying to flash voodoo lagfix with odin 1.3, then i reflashed with odin 1.7 and that did the trick to bring the phone back to life. Good luck!

Hello Guys,
I'm quite an intensive flasher and never had a problem ever, running lovely ICS at the moment and my phone is fine. But here's the problem, a friend of mine also has a SGS and hers suddenly got stuck in a bootloop today (she had stock on it, never did anything to it and had no flashing history or something). So I said, let me try to fix, I should be able to reflash the software and it should be working again. Sadly enough, it didn't go as I hoped.
I flashed JVU trough Odin with Pit file.
(Sadly enough I am not allowed to post pictures, goo.gl/28pPX < pic link)
And as you can see, No problems there. Everything went fine. So the phone boots, and then this happens:
goo.gl/D0vnU
This happens everytime, no matter what i try to flash. First time I have ever seen this and I just don't know what do with it..
When I try to reboot the phone it just starts bootlooping again. I'm clueless, so can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks in advance!
Stoux
I would just flash the same jvu but with bootloaders

Try to flash this rom is one of the best Gingerbread roms, just follow all the instructions there.
good luck
You say : flashed jvu through odin...did you have 3 files(phone , modem ,cscand odin pit file) and have repartition checkbox ticked in odin?? and can you get phone into download mode???

You just have to find a small file called " dbdata.rfs " amd flash it through odin (in pda ) .
Or you can always download a full firmware which have four files .pit, csc, modem, code and flash them with odin and u will be good to go!
Sorry for the late reaction (and the bump of the thread).
I did flash trough odin, like 9001 times. Everytime I would just get into a bootloop, Stock or Custom Rom. I was able to get in CWM but that was just a mess. It had to do with a faulty SD-Card or something, its @ Samsung now. Anyways, thanks for the help everbody!
Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.
Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.
Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me
Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.
