[Q] Help! turned screen off (0 brightness) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to create a screen brightness widget using tasker and i accidentally turned the screen brightness to 0 (with the safety off).
now my screen is black and I can't see anything. i tried to wipe it clean from the manual load page but that didn't help. the phone now turns on but just goes black once its loaded up i guess.
i can't see anything and don't know what to do...uh oh!
anyone have any advice?

try to get it in 3 button recovery mode blindly.. if it works you can tell when you run odin and plug in.. you will see it show connected then you can reflash fw

sorry, should have stated that i'm a total android noob. please go slow
i can get into recovery mode, where there are 4 options in a list. reboot, apply sd:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
i can also get into download mode (hold vol down -> plug in usb).
doing some reading around here, i downloaded a zip with odin and the GT-i9000....md5 file. i extracted the files, loaded odin, loaded the .md5 file and .pit file. then i turned my phone on in download mode, but Odin does not recognize my phone.
btw, i'm on a mac, running odin in vmware (not sure if that's a problem)

Of u can get into recovery try factory data reset.

Odin successful, but still stuck in boot loop

TL;DR - Stuck in boot loop, can't enter recovery mode, but can enter download mode. Odin says it is successful, but the phone is still in the boot loop.
I've had Cognition 2.3 for a few months now and decided to update to Cognition 4.3. I used the AIO toolbox 2.5 to Odin one-click back to stock, rooted, and flashed to 4.3. Everything went well and I restored all my apps with Titanium and loaded some music.
At some point later the screen was completely blank and the only way I could get any response out of it was to hold the volume buttons and power buttons. Instead of going into recovery, though, it would boot to the Cognition boot screen and hang indefinitely.
I was able to get it into download mode by removing the sim and battery and holding the volume buttons while plugging it into USB and replacing the battery. I ran Odin one-click again, it said it was successful, but the phone was stuck in either a battery screen or AT&T screen boot loop (depending on whether or not it was plugged into USB).
I've tried using regular Odin with both the ROM included with AIO 2.5 (JF6*) and JH2 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36) to no avail. Every time Odin shows that it is successful, but it always ends up in a boot loop with no ability to enter recovery mode.
What can I do? Will getting a jig help me in any way?
*Edited for correct ROM
Use the normal ODIN (v1.7 or v1.8), a full stock JF6 ROM and PIT file. Make sure "repartition" is selected and if possible, do a master clear with ODIN first (though shouldn't be critical.........then start over with Cog 4.3 if that's your ROM of choice (good choice by the way).
I tried the JF6 ROM again with the same results (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439#8802897). It looks like AIO 2.5 used this ROM all along.
I can't master clear because I can't boot past the AT&T screen. The only way for me to get Odin (or Windows for that matter) to recognize the phone is by putting it in download mode. From what I understand you don't master clear from download mode.

Are you using the PIT file and selecting repartition?
When I get home today, I will upload the ROM and PIT that I use to flash to stock and see if that helps but you do need to use the PIT and repartion which will only help if you have a FULL copy of JF6 that reloads the bootloaders.
Just out of curiosity, what is your build number?
I am using the PIT and selecting repartition. I've done this every time I've tried Odin (besides when using one-click of course) Is the PDA.tar listed in that link not a full copy of JF6?
My build number is 1008.
May sound crazy, but you could try using a different computer. I ran into a lot of problems using odin on my pc. Switched to laptop (more ram and windows 7 64 bit ) with great success. Also make sure you have the right drivers. Your build# should allow you to use odin one click.

I've actually already tried it from both my PC (Windows 7 x64, 4 GB ram) and my laptop (Windows Vista x86, 2 GB ram). In both cases I used the drivers in the AIO toolbox 2.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418)
Are those the correct ones? If not, could you point me to a resource with the latest drivers? There are quite a few versions floating around and I'm not sure which ones I should be using.
Any other suggestions?
Those should be the correct drivers
Also, make sure odin is completely open before connecting your phone.
That'd all I can think of.

I definitely did that.
Since I'm able to get into download mode, I should be able to un-brick it right? I can't figure out why Odin says it's successful but I still can't boot.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
You may have to give it a few minutes or so as I am uploading now but the link for the PDA and PIT is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24576569/ATT%20ROM%202.1.rar
Try using this version of ODIN:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24576569/Odin3%20v1.7.rar
Hope this helps otherwise I am out of ideas except flashing a kernel with a recovery included through ODIN, going into the recovery and formatting and wiping absolutely everything and then reflashing JF6. But try the files I linked first.
Good luck.
It's been 30 minutes and the ROM link still isn't up. Is it working?
Also, I'd like to change what I said slightly. When using regular Odin 1.81 it says PASS when it's finished. When using Odin one-click it gets to the point of cache.rfs and then says removed. The box turns blue and says Reset. Meanwhile, the phone is busy rebooting indefinitely on the battery screen.
I'll try your ROM and Odin version as soon as the link works. Also, do you have a ROM with built in recovery that you would suggest? Thanks!

Drop box seems to be running slow. So the JF6 that I am uploading may take a bit. The version of ODIN that You are running should be fine.
Try this Kernel. It's not a complete ROM just the kernel. If it works, you will have to flash a ROM too. Cognition is a good start. You can find it in the Dev section and actually, even if it's not the recommended way of flashing, I moght try flashing a custom ROM anyway just to rule out ODIN and your phone. If you can successfully flash a custom ROM then it's probably the version of JF6 that you are using.
Anyway, let's start with the kernel first:
Onix by existz:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930679
make sure you download 2.0.3 "tar" file for ODIN
you know how to get into recovery after you flash right? From powered off, hold the up and down volume buttons and then power all at the same time for about 5 second......
Ok, so there seems to be some progress. I flashed the kernel and the phone rebooted to what I'm assuming is the Onix splash screen and hangs. The power button won't turn the phone off, but at least the softkeys do seem to respond, even if they don't do anything.
Odin now recognizes the phone in both download mode and at the splash screen. Although, to reach download mode I now have to take the battery out, whereas I did not have to before.
I'm still unable to enter recovery. The only way to get any response out of the phone at the splash screen is to hold both volumes and the power button, but the phone just reboots back to the splash. It also does this when attempting to enter recovery from a power off state.

The three button combo should work to reset the phone when it's stuck as well as getting into recovery. It sounds like you aren't holding the buttons for long enough. If the phone is frozen, you have to hold the button combo for quite a while to get the phone to reset. Weh trying to get into recovery, push both volume buttons and then hold down the power button and don't let go till yoiu get past the AT&T screen.
If that still doesn't work, then try and load up the ROM and see if at least you can get a working phone back in the meantime. Like I said, I recommend Cog 4.3 but serendipity is a good choice too.
Awesome. I must have been holding the buttons for half a second too little. Now I can get into the Onix Recovery, but I'm getting:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)"
when trying to mount the SD card.

OK, so I've never had to mount SD from those options so not too familiar with this problem but, i am going to guess that we shouldn't have to play with this right now. Onix will let you install a zip from your external SD, so i recomend finding a recovery flashable ROM (almost all custom ROMs come this way....it'll be a ZIP file) Again I recomend using Cog 4.3 or serendipity (both of these may change your kernel but it's ok because they will both have a custom recovery).
Follow these steps:
1. Remove your external SD and insert it into your computer.
2. Remove any files you want to keep and place them somewhere on your computer for future recovery (Titanium backups, music, pics, etc....)
3. Format your sd (FAT32 should be default)
4. Download the ROM of your choice, copy it to the root of your external SD using your computer
5. Replace the SD into your phone power up into recovery
6. From the Onix recovery menu select "advanced options"
7. Pick wipe dalvik/cache and confirm
8. Select go back untill you get to the first recovery menu
9. Select install zip from SD and NOT "install update.zip"
10. Navigate to your external SD (it should look something like "/extsd" in the file menu
11. Pick the zip you put on the external SD and confirm
12. Wait till the recovery indicates instalation done
13. Navigate back to the first recovery menu and select reboot phone
14. Sit back and relax, your phone will likely take 3-5 min to boot up the first time
If after 10 min of waiting you get no response from your phone, use the 3 button reset to get into the custom recovery and select advanced features again, format absolutely everything you can format (you'll have to do it one at a time) and do that. Then repeat the steps above.
Installing a custom ROM isn't normally this complicated but I am trying to eliminate as many variables as possible here that might cause complications with instalation.
Let me know how it turns out.
FYI: Continuum v4 has the Onix kernel in it (recovery is a blue color)
ROM Files
This is the link to the good JF6 stock ROM. You will have to download it and the ODIN version. All you need is the PDA.tar and the PIT that comes with the ODIN package in the thread. You can still use ODIN 1.8 once you get the PIT file out of the ODIN ZIP.
So, after all is said and done. When you feel like trying this:
1. Open ODIN
2. Phone into download mode (with phone off hold down both volume buttons and plug in USB)
3. Make sure phone is recognised by ODIN
4. Select PIT file that you downloaded
5. Select PDA file that you downloaded
6. Make sure "repartition" IS selected
7. Hit start and sit back and relax
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
Again, let me know how it all works out.......
Ok, I'll try flashing Cog 4.3 after I get off this afternoon. I'll have to buy an external SD, but that's better than buying a new phone.
I skimmed those threads on the internal SD problem and it looks like there's either some corruption on the SD or it's not formatted correctly or something. How can I fix this problem? Doesn't the ROM need that internal SD card space? Or can it use the external SD card as a replacement? If it does need the internal SD card then won't the ROM fail to install if that SD is corrupted?
Thanks for all your help by the way. When Odin wasn't fixing the problem I was afraid it was completely bricked.

I've gotten this before. I think it's caused by a failed flash in a rom, either interrupted or something else. The way I solved this was to pluck out the battery, put it back in, boot into download mode (power+home+vol down buttons). Then make sure u have Samsung usb driver installed and then run Odin as administrator. Continue to flash the stock firmware.

Bro, Don't worryYou can have it working. The exact scenario happened with me too. It happens when you enter in download mode & then due to some reason, you try to switch it on normally. In such case, it won't open either normally or in recovery, but only in Download Mode. So, remove battery, insert it again & press the Download Mode combo keys to enter download mode (Download mode works in such cases) & follow these guidelines:-
1. If odin is crashing, try another pc.
2. If odin is not recognizing your device even when correct drivers are installed, Then check the name of OPS file. For MINI it should be "Tass_v1.0.ops" (without quotes). Note that, device model number appears in Odin's Title Bar.
3. After that If Odin is hanging in btw (for ex: in setup connection), try another USB port.
5. If still problem persists, try another stock firmware.
6. If firmware update is successful and phone bootloops, remove battery, go to stock recovery mode & wipe data/factory reset. Then, wipe cache.
If you implement these correctly, it's 100% gauranteed that your phone should be normal.
Your problem should be solved by then.

[Q] How could I repair this?

Hello people, I'm new to this forum as a friend gave me a Galaxy i9003 for repair but I'm unable to get it working. I've tried to reflash but although it seems to do it then it's always stuck on bootloop. I can get into download mode so I think it's something ain't doing right, so I need your help.
These attached pictures show some errors with internal memory when I get into recovery.
Hey there,
Take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
In the first post, download the dbadata.rfs.tar file.
Turn the phone off, reboot it into Download mode (vol down + home + power), connect it to Odin.
Put dbsdata.rfs.tar under PDA, don't touch anything else, just let it flash.

Odd... I don't see why that happened, being on an I9003 shoudn't make any difference...
Try take out the battery and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. It seems to work for some people (or variations of this method).
Or just keep trying to boot into download mode- it has worked for me once before, download mode suddenly working again after getting that symbol.
Worst comes to worst, it requires a USB jig, but there have been cases (including my own) where download mode has been recovered without needing a jig.
Did the error in Odin happen instantly? (you did everything correctly, judging by your screencap)

Got it into download mode using this method. Then flashed I9003XXKPE package but it's still bootlooping and recovery says that /data can't be formatted. I've seen this method that could solve this situation, but I would like to try to recover data partition before.

[Q] Failed to verify whole file signature

Hello folks,
I somehow soft bricked my phone yesterday. I have bee trying to recover it by flashing to Odin because doing a restore on the phone through CWM did not do anything except throw my phone into looping hte Samsung logo. I originally rooted it using the first method in this first post a year ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26860509
So I do have CWM 6.0.12 but when I tried to use Odin and having hte phone in Download mode as described in the XDA Wiki to return to factory settings (using "uvlg3.flash2stock"), it will go through, but upon the phone rebooting it returns the error "failed to verify whole file signature" and the installation of the phone fails.
Now because I have CWM, I can try using an external SD, but before I got out of my way to buy an external SD to flash, I was wondering if there was something else I might be missing. I have already tried doing clear cache, clear rom, clear dvlekch, etc. Is the Kernel corrupt (is this possible?) Should I be using one of the other Rooted Roms instead of the Factory restore?
In order to avoided problems it is best to do a full wipe before flashing ANY rom even returning to stock. It is the only way to make sure your data isn't corrupt or that it won't be incompatible with the rom your flashing. Too many people skip this step. WIPE, WIPE, and just for good measure WIPE AGAIN. Flash rom, gapps if needed. Reinstall Apps Only. DO NOT RESTORE DATA, save yourself the headaches, force closes, and boot loops.
Also, if you have CWM flash with that not Odin.

Tried with an external SD Card flash did absolutely nothing when I selected the external, it was as if hitting "enter" just acted the same as hitting the "back" button. I got no on screen acknowledgement of anything and it would just go back to the previous screen.
I tried re-downloading the zip and flashing through the Download mode of the phone again, and it got as far as rebooting and then...it reached an error.
E: error in cache/recover/sec_csc.zip

EDIT: Ok tried again with SD Card: using Root Stock 2.36. worked. Rebooted. Hangs at "Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g" screen. At this point, I'm not sure what the heck my actual problem is. Is my phone permanently bricked? Is the Kernel corrupt?
Just to be clear here you were using the uvlg3.odin.zip in download mode (post 2)
And uvlg3.flash2stock.zip when trying through cwm?

Flash to stock via Odin
Thanks to stubbakatt for the original back to stock directions.
DISCLAIMERS:
This works with Windows XP/Vista/7. It also works with Win7 running via VMWare Fusion on Macs running Snow Leopard and Lion.
FILES NEEDED:
Download Odin (Google it) and the stock factory images: uvlg3.odin.zip
Samsung USB Drivers: click here - if you're rooted/rommed, you probably already have these
Samsung Drivers for "Download" mode: click here or click here - if phone is not recognized by PC when in Download mode
STEPS:
Odin does not reset /data, so do a factory reset - this will wipe out the /data partition,leaving you ready to flash back to stock. If you don't do a reset, your stock install most likely will not work.
Make sure the computer recognizes your phone with the drivers above (again, this is probably already the case if you're having to do this!)
Unzip the uvlg3.odin.zip to wherever you want - preferably somewhere easy to get to (desktop?).
Power down your phone. Once it's off, hold down the volume-down button and press power. Hold both down until you see the "Warning!!" message with the yellow triangle at the bottom. Once you see that, hit the volume-up button. This puts you into Odin/download mode.
Plug your phone into your computer.
Open "Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe". Once it opens, the Message window at the bottom left should read "Added!!!" and "Detected!!!".
Make sure all four of the Options are checked (One Package, Auto Reboot, Protect OPS, Reset Time [mine's set to 300 seconds]). I don't know if this is all necessary, but at the very least One Package and Auto Reboot appear to be.
On the right side, click the "OPS" button, and select/open the Ancora.ops file.
At the bottom, click the "One Package" button, and select/open the "T679LG3.tar" file.
The Message window should do an md5 check and end with "Check MD5... ok". If it doesn't, try redownloading again - don't want to flash a corrupt file!
If all of that is good to go, then select the "Start" button.
Your mileage will vary, but it should take around 5 minutes, then the phone reboots itself into recovery mode (the little white box with the progress bar), then about 30 seconds after that and the phone fully reboots. Don't unplug it yet. After a few minutes (actually, the 300 seconds set in the "reset time" in Odin), it will say "Pass!!!" and you're good to go and can unplug the phone.
---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------
Its been a year or better but seems to me all that was needed for odin was unpacking, the zip already has everything you would need. Someone correct me if i am wrong there.
You can mount your pc through cwm advanced setting, just copy the ROM over and flash. Wipe everything before copying of course.
Yes I did.
However I managed to find another solution. I flashed Peach and my phone is now working! Yay.
However I'm still not sure what happened? Did flashing to stock ROM not work because I had a modified Kernel?

[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
