need your help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright guys i have got a galaxy s. Have got some issues with my galaxy basically i have been using rom manager i was running rombie v_2a via rom manager with clock work mod installed then my phone ran out of battery one day. So i picked up the phone plugged in charger and the phone loads with a round circle then the picture of the battery will show up and then the phone turns off. So i left the phone to charge for a while it kept showing a pic of the battery on start up then totally turning off again. So tried recovery and it wont boot into recovery. But it will boot into download and odin detects the phone. Flashed the phone booted me into froyo after flash but as soon as i turn off the phone it does the same thing again round circle picture of battery then off. I can flash the fone and all runs fine as soon as i turn it off i get the reboot problem anyone got any ideas cheers wattsy1612
can anyone help i got no recovery but i have d/l mode the fone will launch only from clean flash it will only boot if auto reboot is ticked in odin with clean flash i had clockwork but ssems the phone stopped booting evertime power is lost

Still cant reboot my phone totally screwed it will reboot if i tick auto reboot in odin after flashing from download mode but if i simply turn it off it just wont boot it just goes too white loading circle and shows a picture of the battery and then just powers off i cant enter recovery anymore either only download mode can any one help me out pls guys

That icon means kernel is screwed. See if u can flash eclair jm8 using pit 512 as its a known good state to start with. Also its the recommened rom to use before flash to froyos

icky boo have tried what you said and still the same mate no recovery and no start up like i say if auto reboot in odin is ticked the phone will boot any ideas mate

That's how I updated and recover when ever a kernel update fails. Maybe your phone is actually screwed. Can you enter recovery mode? Using vol up instead of vol down. If you can means your bootloader still works.

Also there seems to be a lot of problems with Canadian i9000m phones with internal memory dying. Uf you have one of them that maybe the reason

Try to flash with another firmware, I remember when I flashed to JM1 ( for testing purposes my download mode reverted to an older version and noticed that JM1 made a forced update ( rather downgrade ) on the Odin UI. I flashed to JM9 and I saw another message on Odin that my boot loader was updated.
how can i flash without the phone not booting up or go to download mode?

Can you still connect to pc? You can use adb command to go to download mode, that is you still have debugging mode on.
If everything fails, use the download jig, a thread started by TheBeano.
Good luck.

Build the jig, it shouldn't be too hard even if you've never touched a soldering iron.

SGS won't boot

Today I wantes to install the new Darky's Rom v9.0.2.
I downloaded everything, rootet my device (2.2 JPO) with Odin, installed Clockwork mode and started the update.zip.
At first i didn't wipe my sgs, just installed the zip. after some dialoge (This is Darky's Rom, installing this... done, etc) it rebooted and everything was as before, except for the forced closes. So I did a wipe and installed the zip again. This time there was some text too, but it rebooted too fast for me to read it. Then it stuck at the "Galaxy S, GT-I9000" logo, where it should enter the clockwork mode. I pressed vol up + home + power to give it another try, but now my phone won't go past the Samsung logo I already tried to remove the battery, or use the combination for the recovery and download mode but none of it helped.
If I plug in the battery charger, the battery logo shows, but it freezes while loading the battery status.
Is there a way to fix it? I just want the recovery mode to work again
Ask Darky its his rom does that not make more sense .
Or wipe the lot .

I cant wipe it when I cant get into the recovery mode..
so you cant get into recovery mode... What about Download mode ??
Download didn't work either..
Edit:
lol.. I removed the battery for about 10 minutes and tried it again. Recovery mode still wont work, and the phone doesnt shut down too, BUT the download mode works
so back to odin
thats your best bet these phones are pretty unbrickable lol. just a ball ache having to restore everything when summit goes wrong.
Yeah, it's really a pain in the ass -.-
I'm really relieved now though. I really thought I bricked it
I hope everything'll be fixed by midnight

Flash to v8.0 first, then flash to v9.0.2. That seems to be more stable.

[Q] After using an official update threw kies my phone wont start up HELP

when i plugged my phone into kies it offered me an update from 2.2 to 2.2.1 (PDA:JS5 / PHONE:JPY / CSC: JS4). i have rooted my phone before the update using Z4root and also installed voodoo lagfix using a one click installer which was on the market. after the update the phone went into recovery mode and on kies it said something like "disconnect and reconnect usb". i didnt do this and just clicked the reboot now option on recovery mode. and now my phone boots up but the OS does not start. the tmobile boot animation is no longer played, instead it is the (i am guessing) original galaxy s boot animation. after this animation the phone vibrates once, pauses and the vibrates 3 times. if i leave it on then it will do this continously. it used to do this while the phone worked on 2.2 and it ended up force closing whatever app i was using at that time. is it force closing the OS? i can no longer get into 3 button recovery mode even though i could before. i am going to try the ADK which i am new too and if it works and i get into recovery mode what should i do? factory reset? and if doesnt how can i get it to recovery mode?
i really want to get it working again thank you in advance to everyone.
UPDATE: i have tried the adk reboot recovery but it says device not found :S

Your woes are probably because you didn't disable lagfix.
But don't worry - JS5 does not disable the 3-button modes or anything. Maybe you are just releasing the buttons at a wrong time (too early / too late)? See if you can get to download mode (Vol Dn - Power - Home). If yes, you can flash JS5 (or any other stock firmware) via Odin.
Try download mode never make customication without haveing them working!
If 3btn doesn't work built a jig then flash a FULL rom(3files +pit) using odin +repartition
Or if you want it super easy just flash darky resurrection (one file+ good rom)

Adb reboot download but i think it will not work if he can't connect adb....
Try hold volup+home+power and do a factory reset.
thanks everyone for helping me out however the 3tbn recovery/download mode is not working and to top it all of my internet provider cut my internet so i cant even research into this matter. this morning i turned the phone on and left for work i'll see what happened when i get home. all i really need to do is get my p.c to recognize the device so i could use adb/odin and that doesnt seem to work. i might end up having to buy/make a jig
you wouldnt beleive the luck i had. i sent my phone of for repairs to samsung while i waited for the parts to build a jig in hope that they wldnt b able to do anything and give me a new one and instead they fixed it. for free. im so happy

[Q] Tab totally unresponsive.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 7-inch with WiFi and 3G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I mistaking tried to flash the new Android 2.3.3 before realizing it was only for GSM phones. I followed all the instructions using Odin3 (1.7) and everything looked like it worked except it never rebooted and I never got it into the Recovery Mode. I was still able to get in Download Mode so I tried to find a compatible 2.2 ROM to flash. I flashed the Roto JME rom, it didn't reboot. I flashed P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME and it didn't work. Odin3 seemed to install these, I always got PASS. Now my Tab is totally unresponsive. Odin3 acts like it's installing but I can't get the Download Mode screen anymore. How do I get it back to factory or some working system? I don't expect to save anything I've loaded, I just want it to work again. HELP. Thanks.
P.S. If I can't fix this, who do I take it to to re-install the system? I got it from Verizon.
Can you get it into recovery mode? (Turn off, then Power + Volume UP)
No success
No, nothing I do will show anything on the display. I can't get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode. However, when I'm hooked to the computer and press the correct buttons to turn on/off or Download Mode, I hear the computer beep indicating it sees the USB and the yellow COM widget in Odin3 lights up and says it's up and in Download Mode. I can then flash it and it says PASS. I also just tried Heimdall and it also seemed to successfully flash the original Verizon SCH-I800_VZM firmware. Nothing displays when I try to go into Recovery Mode. I don't even see the picture of the battery when I plug it into the wall. Have I somehow trashed by screen?
Hi ! I got the same problem and now my Tab totally bricked...
Samsung just needs to give us the files and software to load these tabs back to stock! That would end the return issue for the carriers and let us unbrick them. Like any other device, there is a way to fix it without having to send it back.

HELP!!!! Stuck on Boot Screen!!!!

HELP!!!
Im stuck on boot logo and I cannot flash anything on PC Odin. And I cannot access Recovery Mode (Neither CWM or system recovery). I can only go into Download Mode.
I was on CheckRom NoteHD and I used the kitchen app to download franco kernel and one of the mods (Use camera flash below 15% to be precise) and as soon as I installed, it didn't let me boot back into Checkrom!!! And Now im stuck on boot logo no matter how hard I try. I did try flashing the wipe ROM (Pre-rooted Open Europe 2.3.6 LC1), I also tried flashing the CF-Root file but still no luck. PC Odin says failed in between the process!!
Please Help me guys.. I don't know what really went wrong as I have installed stuff from the KitchenPro App before.
What can I do now?
Thanks

First this:Turn off the device and pull the battery, wait for 30 seconds and try to get in recovery mode, if that works reflash CheckRom. If that doesn`t work pull the battery again and get in downloadmode and connect to the pc and see if Odin recognizes the phone. If it does flash any stock rom.

I tried the exact same thing you mentioned and no, it doesn't go into recovery mode. and yes, it does go into download mode but it fails to flash. I tried 2-3 different firmware versions of 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and I'm pretty sure the downloaded files aren't corrupt!! I don't know what to do...
The only thing working is getting to download mode but then thats no point since I can't flash any ROM.

There are threads about reviving recovery i think on xda, haven`t needed them so far but look around and you will find them. If you can`t restore recovery or downloadmode then it`s off to the shop i guess
Does Odin recognize your phone, what exactly goes wrong when flashing with Odin?

"Battery Too Low, Can't Download"
Now there's another problem.
Not only I Can't flash anything, I can't even get to Download Mode because the battery is low.
When I press the Vol Down + Power + Home key, I get "Low Battery, Can't Download" in red font.
I left my phone on charge through the AC port and I had no idea it wouldn't charge. The only thing was that my phone was exteremly hot but still with zero battery. I even tried plugging the phone through the USB cable but still no luck.
I removed battery for few minutes upto 30 mins and put it back in and plugged in the charger but all I see is the empty battery symbol keeps flashing every 5 seconds.
Is there any way I can charge my battery and get back to download mode so I could try flashing the stock kernel to get past the boot screen? I even tried plugging in the USB jig that I used with my SGSII previously, but it was of no use as well.
Please Help!!!
your only option is to use a universal charger external, or borrow another note to put your battery in.
once your battery is full you can carry on the previous steps
good luck

i will probably take it to best buy because i dunt know anyone that owns a note.. only I'm the cool one
hopefully i can charge my battery at best buy and then go on with the process!!
Hey,
I managed to buy an external charger and I was able to go to Download Mode again.
After that I tried to flash stock kernel (stockKernelXXLA4.tar) And Odin said "Pass".
After that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Logo again.
I'm not sure what to do now!!
Please help.
Is there anything else that I could flash?
Even though I flashed a stock kernel, I still see a yellow exclamation mark..
PLEASE HELP, I NEED MY NOTE TO COME BACK TO LIFE!
Sorted this mess out!!!
I flashed "N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar" And the phone now works!!!
Stock kernels didn't do the work for me, but the official ICS release did.
Thanks to all that contributed in the thread.

i'm using the LPT / LQ2, and the flashing process very long like stuck in firmware upgrade process. The bar just like never move for half our alrd.
