[Q] cannot start galaxy s after update.zip

Hello
I am in a great panic mode.
I applied this lagfix : forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417 and since I did it I cannot use my phone.
I am not able to start my phone. It shows me Galaxy S logo, and after that I hear the start up music but nothing on the screen (no animation). Pressing hardkeys does not do anything either.
Above all I cannot even enter my recovery mode. When I press volumedown+poweron button, the screen keeps showing me Galaxy S logo and it does not go any further.
Please help me if you know how to getaround.

Were you rooted when yoou applied update.zip?
Anyway,did you try to shutdown the phone removing battery,and then try entering recovery?

the fix did not mention I had to root my phone, it said it would self install.
Yes I did shut down after removing the battery, and then I am trying to get into recovery using volumedown+poweron button but I am not able to get into it. All I see is Galaxy logo and hear start up music after that with nothing on screen.

OK, I am able to get into recovery mode.. I was trying wrong combinations
Now what should I select I get these options:
1. reboot system now
2. apply sdcard:update.zip (will never do this again)
3. wipe data/factory reset (should I do this)
4. wipe cache partition

yes.. you should do 3.) wipe data. If that doesnt solve your problem, you need to flash firmware agian

Why did you choose to install something not on main page, something obviosuly not very tested and something 2 month old (god knows there are close to ten newer or more tested fixes).
If you can access download mode, than reflash. If not... Well, try the exotic methods (dont know them, as I have working 3 butons)

Hey, for a second I thought it did noy fix my problem as I did not get my animation screen and ony heard music.. But then suddenly it starts up
I think I lost my animation on start up though
I still see that MCR Scripts icon on app loader screen, How could I know if its enabled or disabled?
Thanks a lot guys.. XDA rocks .

I regret doing something like that.. But it was really confusing as there are so many topics on the forum and I was really tempted to solve the lag issue I started facing recently (I installed too many apps).

hey i have the same problem.. my phone goes up into the Samsung logo and hangs there forever, occasionally blinking and making a weird vibration. i've tried factory reset but that doesn't help..
How do i flash firmware again?

[Q] My SGS i9000 seems to be dead. Please help me :'/

Alright
First of all i would like to say that im a completly noob in android OS and that i possiblely have done something idiotic!
So.. was i getting annoyed by a slow phone (have voodoo lagfix installed and set to be ON. It seems to work like ****!)
I rebooted into recovery mode and entered advanced settings and i was curios about the partition setting.
Then i picked "partition" and set it be on "4096MB" and at last i picked it to be "ON"
I finished it and reboot the phone.
Now i only getting the startup logo and nothing happens.
I have the 3 button fix installed to be sure i can get into recovery mode again, and i have tested it and it WAS working.
Now it does not work with the Vol up+Home+Power button combination.
I can get 3 different screens like the startup logo, the download mode and the battery charging logo, which not showing any sign on charging.
instead it show the loading circle, frozen on the charging logo.
So what can i do ? - I really really hope there is a solution on this huge problem, because it is worthless now and i only got this phone less the a month.
Thank you.

You'll likely need to flash back to your stock firmware and start over (meaning you loose all data on your internal memory).
Do you know how to use odin? Do you know where to find your stock firmware? I'm on my phone right notes so can't provide any links but you can check the reference guide thread in the i9000 general forum (it's one of the stickied threads) on how to flash firmwares. You can find your stock firmware on http://samfirmware.com

Although you get a black screen on boot, it might still be working....
Chubbyflood,
If you are in the same situation as I am then the tab is still working, you are just getting black screen on boot up. It played tricks on me for ages when I was first rooting by tablet; but it turned out it is just the boot up screen that isn't showing.
This is my situation:
-Press and hold Power button to turn on.
-I see the Galaxy Tab / Samsung initial boot image for about 1 second, and also hear the "boot chime"
-Then the screen goes completely blank (but you can tell it is still on with a little light showing.
-The four "hard button" lights will light up briefly a couple times
-Wait approximately 30 seconds to a minute (to be safe and give the tablet time to boot up - it is actually booting up)
-Tab the Power button once, to turn the tablet off (now the screen is clearly off)
-Tab the Power button again, and the tablet will be up and running as normal.
I am guessing the boot animation / images are failing in some way, but the tablet is booting up as normal.
I've just learned to live with it, because I haven't had a chance to figure out what's going on, but it honestly took me a good hour or so, and a few (unnecessary) flashes, before I realized the thing was up and running fine, it just need to have the button pressed on and off.
One final thing to mention; don't have the tablet plugged into anything. I seem to remember leaving it plugged into the PC didn't help (I think).
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers
Ed.

Has your situation been resolved?
I am in the same boat. What I have done to temporarily fix this was to Flash a ROM that uses Hemdall and it will boot as flukebu stated but only with the Galaxy Cubed ROM.
I cannot get the factory files to boot as you have stated.
I have continually tried to return to stock using the files provided on this forum and all "unbrick" posts.
While flashing the stock images everything completes and works well. The device reboots and the Samsung Splash screen appears. Once it appears it disappears and scrambles the screen. I believe it then goes into a bootloop which easily enough I could access factory recovery to correct but when I do attempt to access factory recovery the screen is as posted above (black but illuminated).
Once I flashed Galaxy Cubed ROM and it booted I hit the power button and the locksreen appeared. I can tell you I was excited but there are some issues with that ROM I have not tried to correct yet because my main goal is to return to stock.
Even with this ROM working correctly I have attempted to access CWM once installed to complete a Data Wipe and that does not show up either.
I would really like to find a solution to this I want to return to stock and not have this custom ROM running.

Have you found a resolution to this? Mine tab is doing the exact same thing as yours after the cubed rom.

PHONE STUCK-white triangle with a screwdriver in it and a blue bar below (resolved)

hello all!
my phone was working properly (rooted but not boot unlocked)
pc companion told me there were a new version availlable (.253) I accepted, install, reboot, everything was fine.
I tried to backup my data in order to change the sd card to a bigger one...then it told me there was a problem while backuping so I did a reboot
this is where the problem begins:
now I have a white triangle with a screwdriver in it and a blue bar below it with an animation inside and it's stuck there...what does it mean for a start?
can you please help?
I'd like to recover it in order to get back my data (photos and video I wanted to put on the new sd card)
tried flashtool but it doesn't recognise the phone...
note: before doing all that, free space was low on my XZ internal storage (like 300 megs)

Unplug your phone from the USB cable and then start, see if that helps

This is exactly what I've encountered, can't find much help in the web, re-flash with wipe cache no joy, in the end re-flash with wipe data boot normally, last backup was 4 days old, restore and lost 4 days game progress...
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium HD app

That's strange.
Also had the same.
I updated to the .253 ROM and firmware etc and everything working fine.
I then rebooted after removing some system apps and got this.
I left it for a while and still stuck there.
Pressed a few buttons and still nothing then it suddenly rebooted (not sure if related to pressing the buttons or not) and everything was fine.
Then when it booted up it did the NFC firmware update so maybe related to that.
Not had it since and rebooted a few times.

thanks for replying guys.
problem really is that I can't use flashtool, for some reason I can't go in flashboot mode (green led right?)
and in fact I don't know all the key pressing procedures (if someone can post them all)
...but I think I got the press down and connect right, problem is that I have the green led for less than one second and then nothing...

Hi,
I also encountered this when I tried to use the old root method of .253. (yah, stupid of me but managed to salvage)
Just let it run for like 20 minutes or so and it will reboot subsequently. (As long as the progress bar still move, you should be ok)
Seems like a self-recovery process in place I guess.

yeah I guess you're right , but the first time was so long (more than 20 minutes ) so I thought it was dead...it is obviously some kind of self repair,
because now after a lot of reboots it suddenly started correctly after 5minutes of this blue bar moving....and now working? WTF?
things that I did in case it could help:
-used flashtool beta 4
-flashed a base .434 in blind mode (choosed xperia Z in the list)
-went into flashboot (press down and then plug usb) I had the green light for just a second...(I also installed EMMA drivers from sony , don't know if it helped)
-reboot then wait (I put it also on the docking bay , don't know if it helped as well but it made the blue bar go faster it seems, not sure tho...)
I used "hard boot" also : just jkeep pressing up and the power button until it vibrates 3 times.
maybe just puting it on the dock and then wait (quite some time) is enough (and makes sense)

I just had the same issue - WTF!!!
I just let it sit there for a while and it automatically started.

This is f*** crazy smart (stupid) phone.
DOn't know exactly what my wife did, but I doubt she flashed anything:laugh:
The battery died, she conncted to the charger, most probably with pushing some of the volume buttons and phone booted into Triange mode. Now it's stuk in this mode since an our.
I did Hard reset, but after phone is plug into wall charger it automatically boots in Triange mode.
This is in stock ROM without any modifications, unlocking, anything.

Just wait - sometimes it takes a while but it'll eventually boot up.

I think [NUT] said somewhere that this is a repair of certain permissions by the phone itself. I've only ever had this for some minutes - but it is possible if the battery an out it could invoke this. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.
And I think fastboot is blue led - you could try flashmode.

I tend to do lots and lots of flashing and mods so I've seen it several times. The first time caught me by surprise and lasted for a long time...now I'm just used to it ..

In my case waiting in triangle mode did not helped. Was waiting 5 hours at work. I flashed with flashtool again stock ROM without wiping data and still no response.
FInally flashed with wipe and phone is running but all data gone. What a crap.

[Q] Cannot enter recovery, Screen turning randomly black, graphic (?) issues

Hello everyone,
first of all thanks for your amazing work and all the stuff you provide. I was a silent reader for a long time, but now my phone is trolling that much, I cannot fix it on my own/with the guides I found here.
I do have an HTC One M7, rooted (superuser) and S-OFF (revone) with Androidd Revolution HD 71.1. I used to update my ROM every month, but I got stuck after the last update. My recovery was TWRP as CWM did not work properly when I rooted my phone.
My issues as a list:
- cannot enter recovery anymore
- cannot connect via USB (tried every port)
- screen turning randomly black on homescreen and sometimes in apps (but they usually work), screen does work, but i cannot see a thing
- since today graphical issues after a reboot (flickering screen, parts of the screen get duplicated)
Since the last update I cannot enter recovery anymore. Getting in bootloader is no problem but i get stuck in the "entering recovery...." screen. It does not move, tested it for some hours. I tried updating the recovery (-), trying to flash stock recovery and reflashing custom (-), trying cwm (-).
After I tried cwm i noticed that it didnt overwrite the recovery but i got both. cwm and twrp, but i cannot delete one of them (didn' work before either). I can start TWRP oder CWM on a booted phone, but updating both bugs and I can't enter recovery with these tools too.
Today I wanted to try again on my own, but my phone won't connect on USB. Tried every port on my computer with and without USB-Debugging. I will try on a other computer, but I could not do this until now. Additionaly I want to wait for some ideas of fixing, as I think "my" trys are not going to work suddenly .
Screen started to turn black a few days ago. Dont know why but I think it could be a software issue. but i cannot update (see above ). When i try to turn my screen on it often just turns instantly black. soft keys are enlightend and it does work (more or less). if i success in sliding down the service bar on the top, i can start my alarm clock app and from there use the soft keys to get in other started apps. From there it works most of the time. Sometimes i need a couple of trys, sometimes it just works as its intended without turning black and sometimes i need several minutes to succeed.
Cannot say more as I did to the graphical issues. Just had them once until I started an app (screen worked). could not reproduce this error.
I would prefer a solution without wiping, but if necessary i will ofc.
Thanks in advance for your help, as I am rather helpless right now.
I attached a photo of the bootloader.
Yours Laexxi
