HELP: Stuck on Boot Screen - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a friend who's galaxy s is stuck on boot screen. he was trying to update a rom and then it crashed. he used to have the 3 button download mode but now it's not working either. any help would be great. i tried to do some searching but i could only find how to fix it if you have the 3 button download mode. please help, thanks
edit: sorry i meant to post this in Q&A. can it be moved by a mod?

Try and search for the micro usb mod. With a resistor you can jumpstart the phone into download mode.

he said nothing happens.. maybe i'll tell him to try that usb jump start.

Thread reported, hopefully mod will move it.
As the stickies say make sure you have three button recovery working before you flash ROMS!!!!!

Search is your friend and this thread does not belong in the dev section.
yeah i did search and I came up with nothing that helped.
sorry about that mods can move it if needed.

Found this in the Captivate General Forum. Might want to try this method and a lot of the problems/issues/workarounds are posted in the General/Q&A forum so maybe try looking there first next time

Does your computer recohnize it?? Can you use the "adb devices" command in CMD and have it show up?? if so, try "adb reboot download" in CMD and that will get you into download mode...adb reboot recovery will also get you into recovery mode also.
And the thread dosent belong here, but oh well. Next time search and search and search some more.
no it didnt but i just got it replaced at the AT&T.
Glad it got resolved
Closing this one up.

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc
UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.
I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.
EDIT: Holy hell I just realized this post is from April. I just wasted a few minutes typing all of that. Damn.
yea. Thread resserection

well first of all your going to get a lot of message that you post on the wrong thread this should be on Q & A. what were you flashing prior this problem, if you flash a stock gb rom and see the PC ! phone picture thats the normal download mode on GB captivate if ever it failed to finish flashing after the boot, .sbl files as long as the odin recognized your phone your fine
Please post in the correct forums,
On that note, thread closed.

Samsung Galaxy bricked?

Hello guys.
I flashed the galaxy S on Odin with no files attached.
Now the phone will not respond at all. I have tried everything but, there is no lights or reaction as ever. Is this fixable?
I have ordered a JIG but i doent have to much expectations.
Regards Morten
It doesn't even turn on? Try taking the battery out for a few minutes.
Yes thats correct. It happend after flash.
Starting to think if the battery stopped working.
There is no sign of life at all.
The battery was fully charged.
Have tried your suggestion. With no luck.
Edit: Hmm, i have tested the battery now and it shows 4 volt between + and -.
So that shouldnt be the problem.

Dear God. Why did you do that in the first place? I didn't even know such a thing is possible

Yes I know it was stupid. I had a PIT file connected.
And didnt know what i was doing. I couldnt dream of
the program would flash over bootloader.
But i learned and have to pay the price for it.
You can fix it with usb Jig or there is a tutorial for Captive that you can use on your phone and put it in download mode. I think for that you jave to install linux, hemindail and java. Also, you will need to install android sdk for adb reboot recovery command Search the forum, the fix is already there

Take out battery and hold 3 button combo for download mode. Than insert battery and it should throw u to downloading.
How is it possible to flash nothing? Doesn't odin warn you if you got "nothing"?
Should be fixed in next ver.
Download Mode "bricked"
Hi,
My Download Mode is working (3 buttons function), but the Win7 isn`t recognizing as Odin...(I`ve already tried to resolve USB drivers troubles but I think that is not the right option...other Samsung Androids are working weel)
So I am not able to flash anything trough Odin...and the CWM 3.0 show me many "E: unknown moun/ storage"...it`s impossible to restore or install an update.zip for example.
What can I do?

Can't boot, getting a yellow triangle...

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.
There's anything I can do without using JIG? I cannot enter download mode (at least with the traditional way), I always get that screen. As fair as I know, the phone is still 2.1 with official firmware (i was trying to apple the 2.3.6)

you are still in download mode, without a proper ROM, so just connect with ODIN and it will function once USB cable is plugged in and flash the correct i9000 gingerbread ROM for your location

The problem is, when entering ODIN, with the phone in this state, the phone is not detected at all by the computer, so ODIN fails to start...

follow the procedure on My Android solutions, link below for connection problems, or else flash with a lap top or on a another PC. But First power down the phone, remove battery, remove EXT SD card and SIM Card and power up again using combo keys for download mode

Install drivers of your phone to your laptop or PC. If you have correct drivers it should pick your phone straight way.

I already have the drivers, they were installed back then when I tried to update the phone, so they are present now.
The problem is, I cant get out of the black screen of death.. in fact, I'm not sure if this model/version can enter download mode through combo keys, yesterday when the phone was borrowed to me, I tried and I couldn't, so I was using adb reboot download shell command - but anyway, the drivers are there.

Then try on different PC. It might have corrupted. If you can see the triangle it means it is on download mode so it should connect to PC.

Yes. I'm wondering if my Google Nexus S drivers didn't not conflicted with the drivers I installed. I don't know.
Well, I'll try with another laptop, if that don't work, is it advisable to use a jig connector from a "trusted" seller? I'm asking because I already saw a comment or two along the about blewed (is this a word?) up phones.
Hey mate had the same issue your gonna have to get a jig as a lot of the i9000's came with corrupted boot loaders so you can't get into download without the jig and the screen your on isn't download mode I know which one your talking about with the phone the triangle and the computer

Do I risk blowing up the phone using JIG?
No the jig basicly makes it so a certain voltage signal is sent to the CPU triggering download mode no risk at all

I tried with another laptop with very well configured drivers, and didn't worked. Still didn't detected by odin. When I tried with another galaxy it works, after entering download mode...
I'm not admired, because before the brick, I was not able to enter the download mode with como keys, I shouldnt be surprised that does not happen now..
Follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
1) Uninstall your drivers, and re-install the ones following the instructions and link above.
2) Pull your battery out for a few mins and then put it back in and go into download mode (power, volume down, home button).
3) Download stock + odin from the link above, and start odin, and connect phone to pc through usb.
Your phone should be detected -- this is where you got stuck right? I'll assume if its detected, the rest you can figure out (plus its in the link above)
Good luck bro!

That would be a good suggestion if could get into download mode Tried everything, including some other solutions that I found around the Web. Looks like the bootloader was corrupted since the beginning, and now that I need it more than ever (because the black screen of death phone-!-pc), I stucked until (hopefully) i get a JIG... Already bought one, have to wait a few days to receive it. Until then, I'm going to use a old nokia.
Jig is only option then install a stock gingerbread that will fix 3 button combos
