Hi guys,
Recently, my phone showed a pop-up about the 2.3 Gingerbread update. I downloaded it and began the installation process. However, as it was installing ( with the green bar under a phone with a sd card i think? ), the whole icons for the process disappears, and it is replaced by a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside of it.
At first, I assumed that this was due to my SD card being buggy. I moved all my files onto my computer and I reformatted the SD card, and then I put the information back on the SD. However, the problem still occurred.
I then bought a new SD card, and attempted to install the update using that one, still, no success.
After a factory reset of the phone, I attempt to install the update, yet to be again faced with no success.
I assume that the problem is because of my phone's ROM, so I put it into recovery mode. After I select recovery mode using the power button, it goes to the white HTC screen with green text, but right after that, the black screen with the phone yet again appears.
I'm so frustrated right now, as I have cleared all my phone data, my SD card data, and even spent good money on a SD card that I didn't need, and I still have not fixed this problem. Someone please help?
Thank you,
Kevin
Dude ... That is the screen that appers before the phones enters recovery ... Relax ...
Redownload the rom and wait for some time after that screen appears ...
Ive never got the update myself so i dont kno if its normal ....BUT im sure its the screen before the stock recovery opens ...

Thanks. I did that, and I left the phone to sit overnight, but it still did not change at all. When I woke up, the phone and the red error sign was still there. Are you sure that's the screen that appears before?
try to press the volume button up or down when that sign is showing
if that fails, install a ruu and run it
if that fails,
-grab the rom.zip out of the ruu (run ruu, go to %temp% folder (run %temp%) there is a temp folder -containing the rom.zip)
-copy that to a diff directory (since else it will be deleted after you cancel the process)
-rename it to PG32IMG.zip
-put it on your sdcard
-go to your hboot
-flash it
if that also fails... your fked and need to bring your phone back to the place where u bought it
Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried your first solution, but for the rest of them, I am quite confused as to what they all mean.
What exactly is a ruu, and how do i run it?

Hello there, nice people of these forums
Yesterday my phone randomly wouldn't boot anymore. I was on an ICS ROM I had just flashed the day before, so it wasn't that much of an issue though. I just thought I'd reflash a stock ROM via Odin and that all would be well again.
Here's what happened:
- I flashed with the PDA, Phone and CSC boxes checked (and yes, I've got the right files in the right places).
- I flashed with a .pit file I've used countless times before
- I flashed with the repartition box checked (also tried it a few times without, actually).
So after this, my phone reboots, and goes straight into ClockworkMod Recovery. When I try to install a zip from the SD card (another ROM) OR choose the "reboot system now", option, it doesn't matter which I choose, it just goes off (or boots into a black screen, I can't tell).
When I then try to manually reboot the phone by holding the power button, it doesn't do anything (I've reinserted the battery lots of times). Also, my 3-button-combo for the recovery menu isn't working. The only thing that's working is my download mode.
Would you please help me with this problem? Thanks!
EDIT: While I have no idea how I did it, I seem to have fixed my phone. It now boots again and everything works flawlessly. Thanks for your time anyway
Ok so I have been looking around for two days now and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I've even searched and tried everything on these forums so please don't ask me to google or use the forums search.
I've got a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M, it was working fine a few days ago and I picked it up to check my messages and it was frozen. After a few minutes I pulled the battery and went to restart the phone.
The phone will now only show the Samsung Galaxy S white logo and simply restart itself and play that logo over and over. If the phone is plugged into the wall it will show the battle charge logo briefly and than restart to the logo. It will go no further than this point.
I have tried to do a factory reset via Home + Power + Vol Up but it seems to reset itself before it will actually load into that menu. Home + Power + Vol Dn will bring me to the download screen which is stable and will not reset the phone.
This is where it gets strange, I have tried Odin and a 100% stock flash on the phone with no luck the phone just sits resetting. After a download of DarkyROM it will actually load the white Galaxy S logo along with the DarkyROM logo and simply go back to resetting.
So the phone is clearly in some state of a working order able to download and accept ROMs but just keeps restarting itself after the white initial Galaxy S logo.
Any and all help would be appreciated! I hope I have explained this problem well enough, maybe it is in need of being brought to a shop to be fixed? Just happens that the warranty expired last week, almost seems coincidental.
Thanks!
After you installed DarkyRom (or any other ROM with CWM), did you try re-entering the recovery menu? Perhaps you will now be able to enter recovery?

No, after the install of the ROM it would load up the white galaxy logo along with the DarkyROM logo and than just go back to resetting itself over and over. I could still go back to to the download but not access the reset menu.

run through My Android Solutions, link below and do the first step after that to immediately to recovery or download mode , than flash a rescue or resurrection kit from My Android collections, link below, all this done without sim card or exts SD card inserted
None of this has worked, I have tried every trick I can find on the net but I can't seem to get it to go.
As before the phone will go into download mode, will accept roms and so on as shown by the DarkyROM logo showing up and going away with the removal of it.
After every attempt I am still not able to get into recovery mode but am still able to access download mode. The phone seems to be in some state of working order but continues to reset itself only when turned on but will run stable in download mode.
ADB doesn't see the device and even if it did I think it would still just reboot once it started into recovery.
It's almost as if the phone starts and after it shows the starting Galaxy S GT I9000 it just turns itself off for some reason
Is their any way to totally reformat the phone and start 100% from scratch without getting into recovery to do factory reset?
Step by step instructions on what to do and download for Odin would be fantastic. I am still not sure 100% on what the PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are or do so the files I need to put in those and a good explanation would be great!
This happens sometime. To fix, Do this.
1. Boot into download mode.
2. Flash stock ginger bread with Odin using 512 pit.
3. Now boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
4. Boot again into download mode.
5. Flash devil or semaphore kernel.
5a note. Your phone doesn't need to be able to boot. All we need is recovery mode.
6. Boot into the new recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
7. Format /system.
8. Flash ROM / gapps etc.
9. Boot with success.
10. Happy dance time, brings good luck.

ok, try flashing a gingerbread Ezboot loader, visit My Android collections, link below, has complete guide at download page
Well I've tried both suggestions with no luck. I am starting to think it's some sort of hardware problem which I can't understand because it is 100% stable and won't reset in download mode. It will accept ROMs and so on but instantly just starts to restart itself after the first logo is shown. No work around will let me into recovery mode and no method I have found so far will just reload how the phone boots. I guess it's time for a new phone eh chaps?

hmm, its strange..anyway, you should remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, and try to use any tool from My Android Collection, to format the Internal SD card and flash a 2e recovery to see , if you can get your recovery back or even a i9000 rescue kit would be good to go after formating your Internal SD card
Formatting you Internal SD card, will resolve any settings, data, delvik cache etc that would be the cause of your initial problem.. there are formatting tools as well a recovery tools that can be used to achieve this
Did u flash the correct stock firmware for ur I9000M? try this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162558059/7efd7bc/I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_VMC.zip.html.
Source : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Ok progress is being made, first I used Odin to load I9000UGKG3-I9000BMCKG3_VMC in the PDA slot without doing a reboot. Then I loaded JPK_Root_Recovery_2e using just the i9000_Kernel and was able to boot recovery.
After doing a Wipe Cache and then Factory reset the phone went back to a boot loop and I was unable to get back to the recovery menu.
After repeating the first steps I am once again in the recovery mode with no boot loot but am unsure as to where to go from here.
Currently the screen reads
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache

E: Invalid command argument

*EDIT* Seems once you restart from the recovery mode it goes right back to a boot loop, was not able to apply the SD card update either. So getting to recovery is currently a one time deal without having to go back and reload VMC and 2e. Once restarted all is lost.
You will need to flash another firmware with 3 file method @odin. Search on this forum a firmware and flash it!
Don't worry, u can't brick your phone that easily. I flashed my phone 10times in a day, for boot loops, when i tried to upgrade to 4.0.4

Ok so this time I used Odin to do VMC in the PDA slot, then I9000 Kernel went back to VMC and loaded that then when I restarted the phone it went back to the same boot loop.
I have no way to clear the internal SD or anything like that because the programs will not see my phone connected to my PC.
What could be causing my phone to just continue to restart?

I gave u a source, download the guide on flashing through odin. It should work. Dun flash 1 file by 1 file.
EDIT : u can find more firmwares here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Pm me if you need any help!
Ok so here is where I am at..
I have tried everything everyone has listed so far. The only think that has made any sort of progress at the moment is going into download mode, connecting to the USB after loading Odin. Using JPK_Root_Recovery_2e I9000_Kernel.tar will bring me to the recovery screen.
wipe cache partition + reboot = boot loop
wipe cache partition + wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
Any of the above mentioned plus loading stock firmware results in a boot loop.
Any of the above mentioned plus loading DarkyROM Resurrection 10.2 will again show the Galaxy S I9000 Logo plus the DarkyROM logo and proceed to boot loop.
Clear cache and factory reset than load of i9000XXJVT pit/pda/modem/csc results in boot loop.
If I am missing something please explain in detail and not shunt me off to some other page.
As before I have tried everything mentioned with no luck at getting past this boot loop. Clearly the phone is able to accept roms and so on so the internel SD seems to be ok but the boot sequence seems scrambled. Strange that it will boot to download and boot to recovery with JPK but upon restart it just boot loops and without Odin and JPK I can only get back to download mode.
Seems to me you also have some partition woes. Try to find an older rom (Milky's worked for me) that requires re-partitioning to be done. Flash via ODIN, wait for 10-15 mins for whole process to complete. CWM flash any rom from there ... (Darky's Extreme also repartitions)
Hi all,
Last night, i rooted by N7000 through PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and was successful in doing that.
Later i wanted to update my device to 4.2.2. So i downloaded cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip file and kept in my external SD card.
Then in recovery mode,i wipe the factory data. There was option wipe data or wipe to install new ROM. I selected the latter one. Wipe for installing new om was successful. Then i went to update zip.file option. But since the file was in external sd card, it was not detected and i was not able to select the file. Then i rebooted the phone but only 'Samsung galaxy N7000' screen was coming and nothing was happening.
I rebooted my phone many times but same screen was coming. Then in morning i went in advance options. I selected Recovery Bootloader. Downloading screen was coming and nothing was happening. Then i switched my off and trying to start in recovery mode but its not starting.
I thin i have no checked USB debugging.
Kindly help soon as i am helpless without phone. Your early response will be highly appreciated.
With the option "install new Rom" you removed your old Rom from your device. So it is only logical that your device won't boot into it.
Next time follow the installation instructions given in the CM-thread exactly.
And of course you can choose a zip from external sd card in CWM. So take a look again.
Best thing to do for you: boot into download mode, install a stock Rom with PC Odin and use it without changing things.
Hey Thanks for the help. But now i am facing new problem.
I flashed my phone using odin with stock rom.
Later i rooted with PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and then updated it with cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.
This time i was successful. My phone was updated to 4.2.2.
Then i used it for some time and switched it off for removing the external SD card. After that i tried to switch on my phone, its not working.
Nothing is appearing on screen. I charged it and then tried to switch it on but nothing is coming on screen.
When i try to switch on my phone in Recovery mode or in download mode a thin line on the screen appears and then disappears and then nothing comes on screen.
Help please. Last suggestion worked.Kindly advise
Hallo, yesterday my phone kinda got laggy so i thought to my self hmm why not flash a new firmware. Aftewards i said to my self, why not go even further and flash lingeageos 16 and thats when it starts going down. The phone would crash or black screen (volume and power key still work and show their UI on the screen) while the rest of the screen was black. I panicked and quickly wiped everything system,internal storage and all that via TWRP recovery. Now i face a even bigger problem. I cant flash anything onto my phone. The Flashtool requires some drives which i installed as the program instructed but with no great result. I put the device in flash mode by holding volume up key and putting the usb cable into the phone and still nothing i can do. I tried various tools to convert the FTF firmware into zip so i can flash it with TWRP that luckily still works. If i try to flash anything i get the error: 7 or bootloop/stock on loading screen. What should i do?
UPDATE: I flashed a stock rom via newflasher, so for anyone in situation like me, where they phone is a very essential part of they everyday life and everyday responsibilties. Then i recoomend this guid for you, it says everything you need to know when you are in a situation where nothing works: https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/
