Hi everybody.
I could use some really good help because i think i'm a step before samsung service. After flashing many times a new ROM (JPA), just to try out some new stuff, in my unbranded SGS i can't get it started now. More specifically, after the last flashing which was successful and nothing went wrong, i turned the phone off so i could put in the sim card and the sdcard. Then i tried to switch it on but nothing happens. The 3 button combo was working properly and now that won't work either. The weird stuff is that nothing went wrong during flashing. Do i have any chances, or should the phone go to samsung service?
Thank you
i have the same problem with you can anyone help ?

Hi,
please excuse for double posting this but I think I posted in the wrong forum before. Please find my previous post below:
Hi,
this morning I flashed froyo JPK onto my phone (GT-I9000M( and everything was working great until I downloaded a file through dropbox and suddenly my screen went black. I had to take out the battery to restart the phone and then it got stuck in an endless loop of blinking start up logo.
When trying to get into recovery mode I get the message it can't mound /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. I have tried several things I found here on the forums, including going back to stock UGJH2 but still the same.
Any suggestions on what to do? Do I have to send it in? The problem is I bought this phone through ebay as I am living in Australia so not sure if my local Samsung will be of any help.
Additional info:
I think I really screwed something. On another forum someone suggested to use the JM5 ROM and so I did. Now I can't even get my phone into download/recovery mode anymore. Any help on this or do I have to get it fixed in a service centre?
Thanks,

Hey guys,
I've got a realy big problem with my galaxy. It's not possible to start it anymore. Nothing happens when I try to turn it on, I don't even get the first boot screen.
My phone is t-mobile branded and I tried to do this, to get the download mode working (sry, i can't post the link cos i have no permission):
[FIX][110% SAFE][UPDATE: 15.Nov.2010] 3-button combo FiX for Selected Firmwares
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
After applying the update.zip the flash starts but the phone did't restart after a few seconds like posted.
I already removed everything (battery, sim card, sd card) but nothing happens.
Please help!

Can you go to download mode? If yes, then flash a firmware from odin as mentioned above. Else return is the only option provided you haven't left any trace of manipulation on your phone...
Had the same thing. The phone didn't even react after connecting to the charger.
I had to give it to Samsung, got it back after almost two weeks. But it came back unbranded
Hi guys,
Gone through about 100 threads these last couple of days, but nothing helps, so have to start a new one.
What happened was that the other day my phone started ringing.
The screen however was black, so I could neither see who was calling nor answer the call.
I let it ring out, then I held the power button so it would shutdown.
Tried to restart it, and that's when the fun started.
The phone got stuck in a boot-loop, only showing the Galaxy S logo (not getting to the animated one).
Left it in this loop for several hours, since I've had problems recently with the phone needing to do this cycle 5-10 times before booting up.
This time it wouldn't boot, however.
I've tried putting the phone in a bag of rice for 18 hours, in case of any moisture inside, not helping.
Then I tried recovery-mode, formatting the whole thing, but I got the following error:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Found this thread to try to fix the format error.
Got into download mode, but Odin does not recognize the phone, and I started believing all hope for fixing it without sending it in was gone.
I've also tried applying a couple of update.zip's from the SD-card, just to have tried it, but every package got Signature verifcation-error.
Anyway, when I headed to bed last night I left the phone in the boot-loop, and to my surprice, 8 hours later it had booted into first-time configuration.
YES!!!
Configured the phone with language etc., then all of a sudden the animated Galaxy S logo appeared...
And it appeared again, and again, and again for about 15 min., until I unplugged the battery.
And now I'm back at square one, stuck in the boot-loop (not getting to the animated logo)...
I have the latest versjon of KIES, not that it probably matters.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
What rom were you using? stock or custom? Maybe it has something to do with lagfix if it was activated... im guesing, im not dev just normal user... Maybe try to reinstal usb drivers.
Just use odin 1.3 reflash official rom , everything would be OK.
Not sure about the ROM, bought the phone used... But pretty sure it's stock..
Since Odin didn't recognize the phone, reflashing it with official ROM would be hard...
However, as for the Odin problem, that was caused by a faulty USB-cable...
Used another one, and Odin worked like a charm.
The phone won't start after running through the steps in the thread I mentioned before, but I will try to reflash it with offical ROM now and see how that works.

Not sure about used phone, But if I bought the phone used, I would reflash rom first. Because I do not even know what they done before , reflash offical rom would be fix some problem.

Well, I would have if I knew... But stupid me thought that a phone was a phone.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, a little update here (the problem is kind of solved now):
Flashed the phone with 2.3.3 Gingerbread I found on dkszone, after running the steps in the previous mentioned thread.
And the phone started like a charm.
But after a few hours of configuring etc, I managed to insert the SD-card again, and all hell broke loose again...
Come to think about it, thats what I did yesterday too, so I've come to the conclusion that the SD-card is the main problem...
However, now the phone is slow... REAL slow... Kind of like my 1.5 year old HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WP6.5...
It takes up to 2 seconds to open menu items, keyboard etc.
Is there any way to fix that?
Or should I flash it with another ROM?
You mean the external sdcard? Maybe try to format it...
OK, so this is what I've now figured out:
The phone is damaged...
It seems that the internal SD has gone AWAL, and internal storage has somehow created itself on the external SD-card, thus the phone crashed when I switched cards...
When trying to format the USB-storage, I receive error: SD-card has been removed
So I guess I have to ship the phone off to Samsung ASAP...
Hi everybody
I'm really not lazy men, I check almost all posts here on the best forum in the world xda. I face this problem before 2 days, I unlock my phone with Galaxy_Ace_Unlock and root it, everything was worked perfect and suddenly it lose mobile signal. I check phone locking and it was locked again.
It wasn't main problem , then I read on this forum that this aplication is not safe and I uninstall it, after that I rebote my phone and got strange problem. I can't boot my phone I only get samsung boot screen 1 sec and it keeps restarting every sec. When I charge my phone via charger I don't see anything just screen is blanking.
More one thing, when I deleted app galaxy ace unlock I deleted from sd card root file that I use to root my phone.
I need help I try flashing it with odin 4.38 and no success, I can enter download mode, everything pass perfect and I got message PASS but phone can't boot, when it's finishing with odin on last step phone restart it self and keep blanking. This is very anoying problem, please help me if you can.
I use swisscom galaxy mini s5570 and I don't know how to solve this.
I try many different stock rooms but no success, always when I finish with odin it's successfull but I can't boot, I can't access recovery mode because phone is blinking all the time.
I know that this forum is most powerfull and tha we have the best experts, better than android developers that have, and I'm sure that you can help me in some way.
More once, I can enter download mode and flash with odin but I can' boot.
Sorry for my bad english I'm from Bosnia and my first language is Bosnian
Thanks, Reuf
If you can enter download mode, ODIN will most probably work. I think you have gone wrong while working with ODIN. Follow these instructions carefully and double check whether the correct files are selected for each category.
If you still have the problem try flashing a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
Or, the other most probable thing is some hardware error, the only thing to do then is to go to a Samsung center, and act dumb (like you do not know anything about rooting) and if you warranty is not void, they might get it right for you..

I can't go to the Samsung center because I bought phone from my friend. It was a new phone I got it in the box but he bought it in Swiss. I will try some other ROM but really I try many of them.
I think my phone is lost

But even in Swiss they have warranty agreements and receipts so if it is new you should have such purchasing receipts - otherwise your friend pulled you over the barrel.
Anyway, maybe you tried a ROM w/o boot-image to prevent from bootloops.
Maybe you should try the 2.3.5 version coming from samsung:

Hello Guys,
I really hope there is someone who can help me out, because I think i've screwed up.
So, I tried my hand at rooting and flashing my old phone (the samsung galaxy s plus), but turns out, I'm more of a noob than I originally thought.
Okay, so here the problem: I tried installing Cyanogenmod 12.0 on my phone using TWRP. Eventually I thought I got it right when my phone finally started installing Cyanogenmod, but then after a while the installing broke of and there came a message saying: Encryption Unsuccessfull. Before I went ahead en pressed the reset phone button I researched what it meant, and there were threads saying, don't push that button and that I should try and re-install the original firmware using Odin. But when I tried to re-install the firmware Odin couldn't find my phone. And everytime I connect my phone to my pc it says that it can't connect because the thing is damaged. I also tried to connect with my phone using Kies, which also didn't work. I tried researching what to do, but nothing works.
So please someone help me!! I can't, for the life of me figure out what to do. And like I said I'm a complete and utter noob concerning this type of thing.
