[Q] PLEASE HELP! phone booting then black screen

this is what happened
i installed sgs tools...tried the hacked camera.apk
since that was not working, i tried reverting it by running the restore script....
when i opened camera, my screen became black and it has stayed ever since...
i restart my phone and it shows the boot screen, the s shimmers for a long time and then black screen again....
and i cant seem to get into recovery mode.... i have tried many times...
EDIT:got into recovery mode after 100 tries....what do i do now?
i have tried wiping data, and clearing the cache....doesnt solve the issue...
my phone is rooted.....i dont think i'll have warranty..
please help!!!!!

if you have 3 button combo working (download mode working) find some rom which you want to install and do it by odin.
best to find middle package (Richtchofen ones with his instructions, they quite plain and simple)
you could try put only pda part of the rom without repartition
if it will be stock room the same as you have now in your phone your warranty will be untouch

If you were on froyo flash back stock rom (2.1) but first flash 512 pit file with pit, then the phone is,only startable in download mode, then flash stock rom with repartion and,everything ticked..

No make sure you flash the stock fw and use the 512 pit and have all options,ticked

Just find and read instruction how to proper repartition phone and flash it in Richtrofen posts (short and simple) which include links to roms.
do as it said and your phone will be working fine. mine was exactly on the same state few times and repartition with stock rom always helped

[Q] No range

Once after restarting my galaxy s i9000 i could not get phone signal. I reinstalled eclair with odin and it worked properly. then using clockwork recovery and returning back to doc 5.1 the phone signal is still not there. tried dark's 7.0 too. with the same result no phone signal. any help is appreciated

Since you recovered all settings went back.i had this once.maybe try to flash a modem file with odin,no repartition and no pit clicked.

I did not revert back to my old settings. I checked re partition and installed eclair. Then i flashed doc 5.1 without restoring my settings. Plus i tried to manually push modem.bin file using odin. No result

Can you check if you Flight mode is working or gets stuck?If it gets stuck then there is something wrong with modem version.When it happened to me i had to flash a 2.2 modem to get it to work.

Yes my flight mode did get stuck. But i tried installing new XXJPY firmware's modem through clockwork recovery and still same result. Which one did you flash? Plus my baseband version is unknown in the settings app.

I was on stock JPU at that time,i had flashed it through Odin and by mistake i had not clicked Modem and flashed without it while i was at work.Then i got home and didnt have JPU there but had JPA so i though,wtf,it was on factory reset anyway(after i had a major brick) and flashed the JPA modem on its own,no pit,not repartition,did a factory reset again,clear cache and it worked.Hope it fixes yours too.

Tried that too. Still the same. No difference. I am getting the range in eclair but not in custom firmwares. Plus the baseband is unknown

Bell SGS bricked or saveable?

Hi,
This is my first time experimenting with flashing custom roms. I was trying to flash a custom rom onto my perfectly working newly rooted sgs (using odin), but the first rom i tried has gotten my phone to boot loop and now I don't know what to do with it. I can get to the download screen just fine and recovery mode but don't knwo what to do. Please help, I really can't afford a new phone/ don't know if samsung will let me replace it now.
Oh, the rom was the XXJVK Gingerbread which is near the top of the forums right now, if that helps at all.
I really just need my phone to be usable, I didn't expect to mess it up. Thanks again to anyone with information.

I assume you were running jl2. The problem might be because of bootloader issue.
When you were flashing gingerbread did you use pit file and repartition?
I am not a pro but If you download JL2 and flash it, should be good to go. Try not to repartition and flash without using pit file.

I did use the .pit and repartition. I'm guessing this was a no no? I'll look for jl2 and try flashing that. Might you direct me to the right download?

I have no idea if it will work or not. Same thing happened to me also when I was trying to flash darkys rom and I was able to open the phone after I flashed with bells original rom. Give it a try. If its a boot loop I assume its a firmware problem. You should be able to fix it. The problem might be the repartirion and pit file. I am not sure about it. Hope this helps.

Just try flashing again with boot loader update ticked in odin. I'm pretty sure that repartition and pit do nothing to the bootloader. If that doesn't work I'll add more after I shower, I stink!

A bootloop = ****ed framework and/or /system/ (rom)
Flashing bootloaders will not fix the problem, they are not related at all. And if a bootloader flash fails your phone will actually be bricked.
Just flash a stock rom with odin. I recommend jl2 if you want to go official stock, js8 for fastest froyo stock or jvk for the latest leaked beta. Tick update bootloaders for jvk or jl2 flash because jvk requires jvk bootloaders and jl2 because it supposedly fixes corruption problems. Remember bootloaders are overwritten every time you flash them and us risky.

Thanks a million guys, I did flash the stock jl2 (no .pit or partition, nor bootloader update) and the phone booted. It fed me a gajillion force closes, but i managed to connect to kies and updated it that way, so now I have a perfetly working phone again. I'll probably experiment with a few more things now that I know how to fix this.
Again, Thanks guys!

[Q] Boot loop when flashing Froyo/GB/Anyhing non Eclair over stock Eclair JM8 with 2e

Evening,
I'm trying to upgrade from a stock Eclair 2.1 to Froyo.
Recovery is 2e.
I've spent the better part of the last two days reading endless threads here and trying any remotely relevant solutions that were discussed.
The phone simply refuses to boot anything other than Eclair.
Won't run any recovery other than it's stock 2e either.
So far I've tried:
- Stock 2.2 JPC / JPU and 2.3 JPK / JVK with repartition and wipe, using Odin v1.3, 1.52, 1.7, 1.82 and correct pit file.
- 2.3 JPK / JVK with above Odin versions.
- speedmod, CF-Root, darkcore, damianGTO and a few others with Odin and SGS kernel flasher app.
- CWM recovery with SGS kernel flasher app and rom manager app.
- Manually flashing the GT-I9000 2.5.1.2 CWM recovery, which seems to let me into the CWM recovery menu if I "apply update.zip" twice, but recovery is still stock 2e on reboot.
- WIPE versions of popular roms that include a kernel with Odin/CWM.
With all of the above the result is the same. Just shows a the Galaxy S logo for hours and hours. It will not go into recovery mode either, only download mode.
If I flash any stock eclair such as JM4, JM8 or JD4, the phone boots Eclair just fine and I can get 2e recovery again.
I've checked that it's not sim locked with the *#724....# code, which said that everything was unlocked.
Not many hairs left to pull. Hopefully some of the gurus that hang around here would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time,

use this to successfully upgrade to Froyo..
cheers

Backup your internal sd storage. (Photo's, music etc.)
Then give it a format. Then try to flash again. Do not worry about restoring all the android folders and such after the format. All of the needed folders will be re-created.

Try taking it to a service centre and ask them to update it to Froyo for you. They might know something we don't.

Dear oldseeker,
Quite a coincidence but I've had a similar problem today with my dad's SGS.
The phone would go into a bootloop if I'd flash froyo or gingerbread.
He had eclair on it and needed an update badly to use his apps.
How I eventually fixed it was, by flashing Eclair JM8 with the pit file from samfirmware (with repartition ticked), and after that was finished, I flashed Darky's
Ressurect Edition 10.1 again with repartition ticked, and everything works now as it should.
Hope this works for you!

[Q] Flashing to 2.3 causes boot loop...

I am having a problem that no matter which stock ROM i try and load, if it is a 2.3 I end up in a boot loop and have to go back to vodafone au eclair to get my phone booting again.
I was running XXJVO but the other day after installing some apps my phone froze and then wouldn't charge or boot. Flashing back to 2.1 seemed to sort out most of my problems but trying to go back to 2.3 (even via kies) results in a boot loop. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try.
2.3 roms that i have tried:
XXJVR
XXJVO
Vodafone stock 2.3
Darkys rom 10.1 re
I also having problems with soft touch buttons they disappeared after Darkys and touck key FW update hasn't worked on any roms that i have tried 2.1 or 2.2
Anyone with suggestions would be greatly appreciated as don't wanna be stuck on 2.2!!

What cwm recvery do you have?
I would go into download mode, connect to ODIN and flash a voodoo kernal, go into recovery and turn off all the lags, I had a similar problem with bootloop and disabling all the lags cured it. Then do a wipe, reflash via ODIN to a stock firmware then flash your custom rom.
Hope this is of some help
