Hi
I have just tried to update to 2.2, i updated Kies first, connected my phone, it came back saying update available, fully charged battery, all seemed to go ok, phone rebooted, but when coming back up I get the logo, and the start up music, then it vibrates a bit the keys on bottom left and right are lit up, screen black and doesn't seem to do anything.
I have removed battery, have tried 3 button restore (no effect) it just keeps vibrating every min or so.
holding the power button restarts it, thats about all i can get it to do.
Have I ruined the phone?? please help.

First question... Did you have a lagfix on the phone before you tried to update it?
Second question... If you answered yes to question one... Did you remove / disable the lagfix before you flashed through Kies?
i had lag fix and was rooted, i plugged it in to laptop and it was recognised and said update 2.2 available, so i thought that was ok.
Now it is as i describe as above, i get battery logo if i plug into laptop, bottom left and right keys are lit but don't do anything, screen is black and vibrates every couple of minutes, if i hold power button get the GT galaxy s screen then the music, then the S galaxys screen which goes black with the two keys lit, if i press power button again it goes off and to the battery logo again.
Cannot get odin or kies to recognise phone plugged in, or get it into recovery or download mode

you didn't answer the question but I will assume that you were using a lagfix but did not disable it before you tried to update you phone.
try removing the battery for a few minutes and try going to download mode (hold vol down + home + power)
Go into recovery mode (vol up + home + power 'till screen switches on) and select the delete data/cache (?) option with the volume keys, using the middle button to confirm. Your phone will work, but unfortunately, you'll loose all your app/settings =/
Should have un-lagfixed before updating :-s
let us know if Rawat's way worked for you.
I had disabled my lagfix too when updating to doc jk3 using cwm and same thing happened to me.
Only way i fixed it was to flash my phone's stock rom, jh2 2.1 using odin3 v1.3 and the firmware from samfirmware. (pda only, no pit, no repartition)
then i upgraded to froyo again and it worked.

I have updated the phone to android 2.2.1 and after reboot it appears Samsung's logo, vibrate once, but then it goes to a black screen, vibrating something like this: "bzzz.....bzz-bzz.............bzzz....bzz-bzz...." and so on )
The phone didn't restarted by himself, I had to chose system reboot. There were some red lines, but I don't remember what they were saing, as I did not pay attention to them
The update was made through Kies. The phone was with 2.2 version and was rooted with some app from the market, don't remember which, and is from Orange Romania.
So...what I need to do? Does anyone knows? It's not even my phone, my brother has it, but I'm the one who wanted the update )
L.E.: LagFix was also installed on the phone and I think those errors was from some files which could not be edited or something like that...and please, I'm a little desperate...

Which firmware you had before update? 2.1 Eclair? Most known lagfixes supports for 2.2 froyo
Did you tried your luck with odin?
Thank you androidsl for reply. The phone had froyo 2.2. I don't know where to get odin, this is what I'm searching now. I am downloading I9000XXJPY.rar from samfirmware right now. After I'll get it, I will try to install it with odin, even if I never used it before
And that charghing battery appears on screen when I plug it in USB powered off like it's charging. If I turn it on, no sound as a new hardware detected hears, so it's posible to do anything with odin if my computer doesn't see the phone connected?
Another thing...I can't get the phone in download mode :| It must be the one with 3 buttons problem..damn! What can I do?

Did your phone have working 3 button download mode?
Press Volume down key and while holding that press home key. while keep pressing those two, press the power button and hold the all three keys until you saw the boot screen. then release all keys.
If you have a yellowish screen saying "Download mode, do not turn off the target", Man this is your lucky day
If I press those keys and release them after that samsung galaxy s logo, it gos into that black screen and vibrating thing again. If I keep pressing those 3 buttons for a long time it just rebooting continuously (samsung galaxy s logo appears-disappears-appears-disappears-appears-disappears etc until I release the buttons and goes into that black screen)
So, to be clear what is going on with the phone. It's turned off. I turn it on and it displays that samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 logo, then that animation with that sound..and that's all. After that..a black screen and vibrations
If you can not get to download mode that is a thing to consider. no download mode mean no odin
In that case i think you have to get a custom USB flashing cable to get into download mode. i saw ebay have that cable for a low price

Or return phone to vendor for repair .

you need to hold vol down + home + power while the phones off and it should go into download mode.
what rom did you have before trying JPY?
My brother is leaving town after a few hours and he needed the phone. Eh...)
I will buy a microUSB cable and mod it for download mode. If that's not working...I will go with it on a service. Thank you guys. I thought that something could be done, even the 3 buttons method doesn't work
galaxy i9000 on froyo, rooted, one click lag fix.
out of the blue, whilst playing my gameboid emulator, phone started vibrating and rebooted. now i can not get into any of my phones data or files, all i get is a black screen, quick glimpse of my homescreen (correct times and up to date messages being received) more vibrating, then another black screen with more vibrating and a quick glimpse of my homescreen. this process continues in a loop for as long as it wants, or until i take my battery out.
my phone was one of the unfortunate bunch that got dispatched from orange that can't access recovery mode.
don't really want to send it back to orange because its rooted, so just wondering if there is any way of doing a factory reset, or any other solution to the problem would be highly appreciated.
thanks, tom.
please help i really dont want to send it back to orange
I would reinstall the stock firmware. I mean do you have a custom rom in your phone as this is all happening? If so, reinstall that rom. But which ever you have, get into download mode by one of these two methods:
Turn off your phone, hold volume down, home button, and vomlume button all at once and at the same time.
Or
Take your battery out, hold volume down, home button, and power then reinsert the battery.
What you are trying to get is a yellow android that's digging. Once/if you get into download mode, use Odin to flash the stock firmware or any custom rom that is Odin compatiable.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
but he doesnt have the 3 button combo.........
anyway there is a way to fix the 3 button combo, put it in the search bar.
if you wanna do a hard reset and see if that clears the problem type into the dialler *2767*3855#
ah i see. still worth a shot though. my other SGS phone (vibrant) had recovery disabled, but i could get into download mode by taking the battery out and reinserting it while holding volume down, home button, and power button.
PROBLEM
JUST FLASH NEW ROM VIA ODIN YOUR PROBLEM WILL BE short out..........................if I really help u plz click on thanks meter
Hi all, I think my problem may be a bit different, Here is how I got myself in this problem.
This morning I connected phone with kies and found out that there is a 2.3.3 gingerbread upgrade available (my phone has been rooted). I decided to upgrade, but when phone showed downloading screen, at that time my damn pc crashed. Now I unplug the cable, rebooted the pc and when on to do the same again, Kies found out that there was problem in past upgrade so it asked to do an emergency upgrade stuff, but now there was a different problem on the phone. All my phone screen displays is 3 images
Phone image, a yellow triangle with exclamation (warning?), and pc image, which to me means its not connecting to pc. On pc, phone is never recognized any more.
I tried to get to dnload on phone using Volume(up or low) + Power + Home for so many times but no success, if I keep holding 3 buttons it just keeps flashing those 3 icons on the screen and that't.
Any help will be appreciated.
pull your battery out. Put it back in.
Hold Volume down+Home button, while holding those 2 also hold the power button. Phone starts. Let us know what happens.
Nothing as I mentioned before I have tried so many variations including the one you mentioned still the same, that it keeps on flashing the 3 icons (phone+warning+pc)
Use the "magical key" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
I came across that earlier today, however was hoping to find an easy solution.. Seems like JTAGing it is for this one now.,.,.
Thanks
Hold the power button for a good 10 seconds.
Then try forcing download mode. You may have to hold the 3 button combo for a bit, but don't give up. I've had it take up to a minute before.
Vol down+Home+Power
FIXED
After rooting my Samsung Galaxy S, it got bricked and got stuck on the black and white logo sign. The home buttons would light up but I had to take the battery out to turn it off. When I plugged in the USB at the battery sign, I pushed the volume up and volume down and power button at the same time and let go of the power button when the screen flashed back, then let go of the volume buttons after awhile. That took me to the download mode. I tried other methods like one click un brick but it didn't work. After following the instructions to the link below it now works fine!! I'm so glad because I almost sent it to Samsung for $70. I hope this will help anyone else who is having the same problem! If I can do it, I think anyone can do it! This was my first time trying to root a phone without knowing anthing.
Here's the link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Also some helpful tips when using the Odin program:
-before you plug in your USB cable, put the tar and pit files into the same folder as the extracted odin file so you won't run into any problems
-then after plugging it in, if the box in the Odin program doesn't turn green then disconnect/connect USB cable again and it should turn green
so I found out it crashed because i was using root explorer >< I had no idea it could do that to my phone. anyways I looked up how to hard reset the phone when its frozen. is that the only way? because its not working. the first thing to do is hold the volume button down and then press and release the power button then three things are supposed to pop up. but everytime i try to do that, it just goes to the black and white screen >< any tips or advice?
You should press the volume down + home button + power button, then the phone will enter in download mode and from there you can flash a new working rom with odin.
Or if you want to wipe data you can press volume up + home + power and it will enter in recovery menu.
thanks, but I think I really screwed up my phone. because I tried that and all the other ways to put it in recovery mode but everytime I push those buttons the black and white screen keeps blinking
Can you put the phone into recovery or download mode with adb?
adb reboot recovery
or
adb reboot bootloader
That sounds way too complicated after looking it up. I don't think I should mess with it because it might mess up even more. Do you think how much it would cost if I went to a phone repair shop? If it's more than $20, I'm gonna do whatever I can to do it myself. T_T
So i found out that if you push the volume up ANd down button ANd power button at the same time it will let you clear all data and restart the whole phone. I did that and when I turn it on it makes the tmobile sound but it still freezes at the black and white sign. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay $70 and send it in to samsung T_T also, I forgot to mention but I used root explorer to try to change the framework. would that have been the problem? or would it be the installation of bug busy installer? because after I installed that it kinda froze on me. But I used root explorer before and didn't have a problem with it. Anyways, anyone can help me on how to get it off the black and white screen?
Dear all,
I was on beyond 5.3 with twrp 3.3.1.7 and I wanted to update everything. Magisk, root etc was working fine.
I downloaded the patched twrp file from the beyond telegram chat and flashed it as image into the recovery partition.
The installation was finished in 2 seconds, but stupid me chose to power off instead of rebooting the recovery.
So I tried to enter recovery using the button combo but nothing happened and I was stuck with the samsung logo.
The current status is that my phone only shows the samsung logo.
Holding the power button for a minute doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for recovery mode doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for dl mode makes the phone reboot. It vibrates for a sec, then the samsung logo shows again.
If I keep pressing all 3 buttons the phone keeps on rebooting and vibrating each time, but dl mode never appears. If I let go of the power button the logo stays and again, nothing happens.
So basically I can't enter dl mode nor reboot.
Should I let it run dry and try again or just throw out of the window immediately? :crying:
I let the battery drain over night. Phone was finally off.
So when I plug it in, the Samsung Logo appears and doesn't change. It just stays like that forever until the battery drains.
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, no matter how long. It doesn't reboot nor does the logo disappear.
Pressing vol+, bixby and power again does nothing.
Vol-, bixby and power makes the phone reboot. The screen turns black, the phone vibrates shortly, the logo reappears. If I keep pressing the buttons the phone reboots again, and again, and again, mever reaching download mode.
If I let go of the power button and keep pressing vol- and bixby the phone stays black and won't even show the logo. Nothing happens. If I let go of either of the two buttons the logo appears again.
It won't boot, won't go into recovery or go into dl mode.
I'm doing all this while it's plugged into the usb port of my pc, and it doesn't get recognized. Samsung 300k tool doesn't recognize it either.
Now I know the meaning of "bricked" lmao.
Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
Pressing only the power button for a minute literally does nothing. Like hell, how is that even possible?
You can try this to go to download mode:
Vol down + bixby + usb cable connect to PC
It's advisable to charge battery first before flashing firmware.

I tried that for like a thousand times already but now it chose to magically work somehow.
I think I peed myself a little when that ugly turquoise screen appeared and I screamed from sheer happyness.
THANK you!!!
The problem that doesn't stop giving lmao.
Got into DL mode, got odin to start, but after like 10 seconds my phone dies and odin fails.
Now I cant get into DL mode, but rather only the "an error occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Could it be the battery that simply dies?

Yes most probably a discharged battery. Hopefully you can go to DL mode again after charging your phone.
hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that
