Have you tried to reflash your Galaxy with Odin?
Downloads:
Odin
JM5 Firmware PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
PIT 512
Howto:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (PDA=CODE, .PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Remove the SD card and SIM card from the phone.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.If the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

Your SGS is not broken you are just doing things without the right knowlegde.
Don't do things you don't understand !!!
Read before you do something !!!

Yes i have flashed mtimes with odin and successfully but this time its differrent i can't flash any rom and i keep having that error above

Welll it worked when i changed the .pit file which came with Odin to your .pit file and mine was 513 yours 512...but at the end when it booted there was one red line about some sytem ... it went fast so i could'nt read it but anyway thnx alot

You always have to use the correct PIT File for a Firmware.

[Q] Just some newbie questions

Hello,
I know, that professionals usually don't like these questions but I really want to know sth:
I recently installed Froyo 2.2.1 with Kies Reg Patcher and it works GREAT! The only thing that matters is the old RFS file System.
So I decided to install the Voodoo lagfix.
I put the update.zip in my root/sdcard and tried the following:
1. I started the DOWNLOAD Mode - but only the yellow shield appeared - nothing happened as expected (maybe nothing to download?)
2. I started the RECOVERY Mode and selected "Apply update.zip". ==> It was telling me after 2 seconds "Error ... unsigned ..."
==> I knew this is caused by the new recovery assistent. After all I rebootet my phone and every thing works like it was before.
Now the questions:
1. Is my system unchanged? I mean has the update.zip file copied some files until it aborded?
2. Is it bad when I turn my phone in Download mode? I mean it didn't flash/download anything - so does it really damage my phone when I press the power key 5 sec and restart my phone (ONLY IN THIS SITUATION - I know that pressing it during an update process/by appearance of the status bar can damage the phone).
Please give me some answears!
PS: By the way, on woodoo-project.org it is written that the update.zip mode "...works with clockworkmod" - what is this for a mod? I googled but I only found variations about it - not a documentation and their website seems o be down.
Has this mod automatically been installed before the "Unsigned Error" came?
LG,
Dennis

In order to have your phone lag fixed, you need to root the phone (root: complete system access of your phone).
1. In download mode the phone wont update anything on its own. You need to use odin for flashing (installing) through the computer.
2. In froyo 2.2.1 you have a 3e recovery (which only updates with signed apk's) - your update.zip file is custom hence its unsigned.
about your q's
1. Your system has not been changed as the process was aborted (no files are copied or changed)
2. Its completely safe to restart you phone in download mode if you aren't flashing anything.
Note: In order to use voodoo lagfix you need to get 2e recovery for flashing custom unsigned apk's. This can be done by using CF root method (this will root your phone and also install ClockWorkMod - CWM). CWM will allow you to install the update.zip.
*For more info. just check the thread about rooting/lagfix etc. to get step by step instructions.

Thank You very much! Now I get it!

SGS crash help

Hello friends
i have recently applied an update.zip file via recovery mode, and after that my phone doesn't turn on any more, it hangs on galaxy s screen and vibrates frequently.
i can go to recovery mode(that only has 4 selection:
reboot now--- apply sdcard:update.zip---wipe data/factory rest---wipe cache partition)
and i can go to downloading mode too, the file that crashed my phone was a part of call recorder application that i have installed, and then tried to apply the update.zip file, and in the page that describes the installation guide(that is in this website.....) has a recovery update.zip file that i think if i can apply the new file, the phone can turn on, the problem is that i can't replace the old damn update file with new one because i don't know how to do it with computer, i try to connect via usb but only when the phone is connected to phone that is in recover y mode, pc recognizes the phone(the phone memory and external sd card cant appear) and only "adb devices" command tells me that its recognized, but i can't copy and replace the new update file with adb command either. so can anyone help me to move and replace the new file via downloading mode or ordinary recover mode OR to install Clockworkmod when it's off??!!!
thanks....

Wipe Cache that fails Factory reset.
That fails flash stock rom via Odin pit 512 and repartition checked .
jje

i don't want to lose my data that are on phone memory, is there any other way to recover phone without flashing ROM?? i want to keep my data and applications . can i install Clockworkmod via ODIN? i mean is there any way to change the ordinary rocovery mode with CWM using ODIN or any other program that runs on pc?

CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
Or a later version use search its on here flash via Odin for CWM 2e.
jje

ok, my rom version is JPJPG, is this compatible with my rom? and please tell my how to use it, i know that i should use it via odinn, but in which part? (PDA or CSC or phone or pit?) and which selection should be ticked? (re-partition, auto reboot or f.reset time?)
thanks alot

Odin and PDA stock settings on ODIn as it opens tick nothing bar the PDA tab .

[Q] HELP! :( Semi Bricked. Tried EVERYTHING

Ok
Please forgive me I have spent up to 7 hours today searching and trying but to no luck.
So I didnt realise what i was doing and Semi Bricked my Phone. I edited build.prop and saved it in MyExplorer(name?) to try and turn off the camera sounds and when I rebooted, it just gets stuck on the galaxy S 2 screen, boot loop.
I'm on SGSII (Australia) Stock Vodafone's ICS 4.0.3 Rooted.
I have CWM installed but tried a few things:
- I can get into Download MOde (no idea what to do here)
- I can get into CWM mode 5.0.2.7 Recovery mode but cant do anything still.
- I tried various Edify script builders to try and put the original build.prop back in but get multiple Status 0 errors whenever I try update.zip from the SD card.
- I tried rebuilding the backup on there and changing the build.prop file on there and trying to restore but MD5 check fails. Even tried rebuilding the MD5 file with the modified files and still no luck. MD5 files fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions and how to resolve this without a flash or wipe? I didnt back recent backup and will lose everything.
I am coming to a point where I really am wanting to back to Apple
There are 2 build.props attached. One is the bad one that stopped me from booting up and I found another one that was named .bak (extension taken off) I found in the same directory (/SYSTEM)
If anyone can help me build an update.zip to push in via CVM I would greatly be in your debt (I tried for 4 hours with no luck)

If you have recovery and download mode yet nothing is lost.
In first, do saved your apps ?
If you had saved them or if it doesn't matter to you, reflash a rom via recovery
LINK HERE:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2773/cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip
Flash it GoogleApps folder
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
The rom that I attached to the reply is a CM9 ICS version, it's quitly stable and we can have some settings on it.
If it doesn't work reflash with Odin (it's with software who use the Download Mode)
http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html
Instructions
-Unzip the Rom Folder ( I9100XXLPQ..........)
-Open the included Odin
-Put your phone on Download Mode
-Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
-Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XX*_REV_02_CL*.tar.md5
-Click CSC and GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXA*.tar.md5
-Click Start and don't touch anything still the colored case become green
-And now your phone resurrects
Reply me of results

thanks for your reply
unfortunately i didnt save my apps and havent got backups of my data either
i cant reach the file via ADB either, when i run ADB (have KIES installed and worked before) - adb devices.
nothing shows up when the phone is stuck on "Samsung GS2" screen.
do you have any recommendations around keeping my data there?

If you find the exact same software your on now to download you could try flashing that in cwm without wipes I think that would work i think it replaces all system stuff so it will work, worth a try

understood thanks
what if i just want to flash build.prop via update.zip?
i tried so many methods but it always fails. is anyone able to create a update.zip for me?

i used a GUI script creator to try and update it via CWM recovery mode but it doesnt seem to like it.
If i turn off signature verification, it gives me a (status 0) error saying : E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
and if i turn on verification toggle, it says E: signature verification failed
can anyone help?

Click to expand...

i know there are 2 types of ROMS right? the nonwipes and wipes. i really dont want the wipe versions.
the one i downloaded is 1G which i'd imagine is the wipe version if i were to upgrade via odin?

Can you mount any sd on your pc, because you can the recovery mount trick to access to your data.
When you are in the recovery menu, go to mount and storage and click on "mount usb storage" and the internal and external sd will appear on your pc.

you are posting in galaxy s thread....repost in galaxy s2 thread

I don't think so but then again I don't own a s2 but you can select advanced restore: restore data then flash a compatible ROM, then restore the data if you worried but as I said before flashing the same ROM shouldn't remove user data
