This procedure will get you back to stock JPU ROM via Odin and Download Mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10449932&postcount=7
Then once your phone is working again you can go ahead and flash to a custom ROM which I'm guessing you know how to do. Let me know!

Ok dude I`m doing it now, fingers kriss crossed!!!
Ok this happened....
I took usb out, restarted pc, then phone went into recovery mode, I did a factory/data wipe, same with cache, was about to restart phone, now there`s a white box with an orange arrow comming out of it and a little green android man?
I pressed menu button, it brought up recovery, I restarted, went passed the white logo screen to swirling S logo screen, also played music, now at black screen....
Still in black screen but every 20 or so seconds it vibrates once then 3 quick times???

After sometimes it is required to do a factory reset to get it working.If your flash was succesfull try to factory reset it in recovery mode.

Tried Odin again and got the same error, so when I get into recovery mode I should factory reset everything?
Tried to get back into recovery from download mode and got the bricked screen!!! Its hopeless now is`nt it
I can still get into download mode.....

I dont really get what you are trying to do.
Can you get in recovery mode and do a factory reset???

I was in recovery and did that and it got to the swirling S logo screen then screen went black, vibrated once then 3 short ones every 30 or so seconds and thats it, it did`nt go any further.....
I keep getting a FAIL when I try to flash using Odin
I notice when I`m putting in the info in to PDA PHONE CSC areas, I dont see where I`m supposed to use this..
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
I followed it all step by step, or i dont see it in the steps

Hmm i had that screen many times but always able to flash with Odin.Are you sure you got the drivers on your pc?Make sure that you havent Kies running,on try or in backround,or any other program that is used to connect your phone.Also its always good to use a free USB port on your pc,and by saying free i also mean that it not one of the front panel USB cuz those ones sometimes are shared.

Repartition was checked, should I put the modem one in the phone section?

2. Open Odin AS the Man said .
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.

I`m still getting a FAIL on it.
I download that Odin, reinstalled the Samsung drivers and disabled anything related to the phone.
I tried it even without the sim car and sd card in cause I read one post that had tried it and it worked.
From the instructions it looks like I`m using 3 of the 4 files download, remember that modem one.
I definitely have to use that same file twice for PDA and phone?

I followed these instructions to the letter...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/xda-developers%20-%20View%20Single%20Post%20-%20[Q]%20i9000%20can%20not%20boot.htm

I`m not sure which one is the right Odin to use, but I tried the both of them and still the same results.
There both v1.30, the gt-p1000 is the one from the previous post..
I`m even trying different USB ports...

Ya fuppin BEAUTY, I did it, I put into the phone section in Odin that modem file and here`s what I got...
NoW I have fireware 2.2.1
Baseband jpu

Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?

Ok first of all I want to thank the 2 of ya`s for all your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Now that I`m up and going for some reason my pc does`nt see my phone even tough it says I`m connected on my phone?
I restarted my pc, reconnected phone nothing...
If its not one problem its another...

Help help help

I did an Odin wipe and now the touch isnt working on my phone!! What do I DO!? Its stock so it goes straight to MTP transfer instead of debugging and I cant change it. PLEASE HELP.

What do you mean the touch? Give more details

Alright, well I was having problems with dig11fs rom so I decided I wanted to install serendepity 5.0. I plug in my phone, run odin and go into download mode. Once in download mode I press start and it goes through and does the factory reset of my phone. My phone turns on and the "swipe screen to unlock" screen comes up. I try to swipe it and nothing. I try going back to download mode and maybe running odin again. Not working. I try different things but overall my touch screen isnt working at all. I went to recovery and deleted user and cache thinking maybe something will work. Phone boots back up and still nothing. I can't do anything cuz I cant get to usb debugging without being able to use the touchscreen.

I just did a master clear with odin and still my touch screen isnt responding! The buttons are working fine but the touch screen is not.

This is a new one.
Pull battery or for a couple minutes. Then try again
what is the build of your phone, located under battery, something like 1008
I think you are in store for a jig

It says 10.08 on the white sticker under my battery.

Have you used odin before, what its the name of the odin file you used?

I have used odin a few times before. Not a problem. I tried the battery pull, nothing.
I used the newest odin "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip" I just downloaded it about an hour ago.

Good news is that you are on stock, so if need be call at&t and file warranty claim. You said matter clear went through correct/
Have you had problems with three button combo in the past?
Do you know what a jig is?

I can get to download mode no problem with the 3 button method. Thats not the problem and I have ideas of what a jig is but if it can help me right at this moment i would appreciate the information.

You can still.get into dl mode?
Have you tried odin flash more then once

A jig wont help, if you can get to download mode you don't need a jig. this sounds like a bad flash, try flashing stock again.

Yes I can get into dl mode and I tried twice so far.

I actually have a charger in my house that will disable the touch screen. I once made the mistake of trying to flash using CWM while my phone was plugged up to that charger and when everything booted back up my touch screen was disabled completely. I was able to Odin back to stock and reflash everything.

Go find the post for the Stock rom with the 3 button fix and the ODIN that is not one click and use that. the one click downloader does strange things sometimes. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THAT POST COMPLETELY BEFORE FLASHING.
This one.
1. Download ODIN and the PIT file and extract it somewhere.
2. Download the PDA file and put it in the directory where you extracted ODIN and PIT to.
3. open ODIN and click the PIT button and choose the PIT file that came with it.
4. click on the PDA Button and choose the PDA.tar that you downloaded from the post.
5. power off your phone completely.
6.Hold down vol up and vol down and plug in the cable.
7. Click start.

So i tried using a different charger, nothing. I'm trying to run the not one click odin.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000M Boot Screen Loop

Hi there, I am new to this forum as I am trying to fix my gf's Samsung Galaxy S i9000M on Bell.
I tried to search up boot loop and have tried a few different ideas on the board but it doesn't seem to work.
Would like to know if anyone can help.
Here are the specs: Samsung Galaxy S i9000M - unrooted / stock.
Problem: The phone when turned on will only show the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000M" screen. It will turn black and then reloop itself. I have tried the 3 button boot to "download mode" and have successfully connected to ODIN.
I have tried to download PDA/Phone/CSC from one of the pages on this forum containing North American firmware files.
However, the problem still persists! I cannot check the OS version as I can't get the phone to boot into the OS. Is this a bootloader corruption problem? What should I do to try to fix this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU in advance.

I assume you want Gingerbread?
If so, you want the UGKG3 download from Bell (it's the only GB ROM from Bell to date).
Go here and search for UGKG3.
The file is in 7Zip format. If you do not have anything to unpack it with, download IZArc.

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I did try the GB firmware - flashed it with ODIN - the software says successful.
But once the phone boots - it goes back into the loop - it does not know to unpack the OS to try to install and boot into it....
Any other ideas? Thanks again!

Did you flash it as a single file or 3 files?
You need to unpack the 7Zip file so you end up with 3 files:
Select PDA_UGKG3_Sbl.tar.md5 for PDA
Select CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5 for CSC
Select PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5 PHONE
Then flash with Odin. That should get the phone up and running again.
---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------
How long has she had the phone? I wonder if she was on Froyo or GB.
Can you get into the recovery menu?

Thanks for your response.
I have unpacked all three files and loaded it into ODIN as per the firmware upgrade instructions on the thread you provided me.
I have also tried loading in both both the GB and the Froyo versions (UGKG3, UGJK3). After the "successful" message on ODIN, the phone boots up - shows the Samsung Galaxy GT I9000M screen and then goes black and keeps looping again.
I have a feeling this made me a problem with the bootloader. If the phone is completely stock, which one should i try flashing?
As the phone is stock there isn't a recovery (CWM) that i know of.... Or am I incorrect?
thanks again for your help!

OK, thanks for the clarification.
There should be the stock recovery from Samsung (2e or 3e).
Yes, it does sound like a bootloader problem.
Is it still under warranty?
EDIT: What is the build date for the phone? There will be a number in YY.MM format under the battery.
See if you can get into the recovery and try to clear the cache. That may give an indication as to what is going on.

We've had the phone for a year and a few months, so no more warranty.
In fact, we brought it back to bell store and they said there is "no way" the phone can be fixed. (yea right).
So I see a bunch of bootloaders in the forum here. Are there specific ones that work for the GT i9000M on bell? Or since I've tried flashing gb on the phone, do I need to download one that is specific to the OS? sorry as I am quite a n00b at this.
thanks!

The 3 file ROMs include a boot loader.
The GB one for Bell only includes the secondary bootloader (sbl.bin).
Bell no longer sells the i9000m, so they are hoping you'll simply buy a new one.
Your GFs phone is a couple of months older than ours. I bet the phone is one of the ones that has the issue where the internal storage is known to fail (builds prior to 11.03).
If that's the case, I think Samsung may repair/replace it, since it's a known issue with the early i9000m phones.
Did the phone get updated via Kies recently?

thanks again for following up.
How do I test if the phone's internal storage failed?
No I have not tried to update the phone via KIES. How does this work and what will it do?
Thanks!

Going into recovery and clearing the cache might show it.
If you see an error message that it can't mount something, that would be an indication.
EDIT: What's the build code?

I can't get into a recovery mode because the phone doesn't have CWM nor can I get by even the Samsung screen when it first turns on.
How do you flash via KIES? All I can do is get the phone into download mode. Can't do anything more.
Thanks.

Boot loop on stock Bell GT-I9000M
I have the same issue and still trying to find a solution.
Can't get into recovery. From most of what I read it's the boot loader. But I may be wrong, I 'm very new to this. I flashed with I9000UGKG3-homebinary with no luck. I did not however try the Sbl.bin file yet. I can still get to the Download mode and don't want to loose that ability.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

although you do not have CWM you should have a stock recovery... I know you have probably already tried.. but try again.
Menu+Power+Volume up...release only the power button as soon as the initial screen disappears.
if you do get into this screen you can do full wipes...
--pm me if you live in the Toronto area
It also might be a boot loader problem depending on what version of of android you were on and what you tried to do with odin and if you had the right version with the bootloaders etc.....

As dlockhart said, you should have the stock recovery on the phone.
Since you can get into download mode, you should be able to get into recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power button.
Flashing through Kies only works if your phone will actually boot.

Since the phone is constantly boot looping, i tried to go into the stock recovery mode multiple times with the volume up + menu + power combination. Tried releasing the power button when the words are on the screen, when it is blank, and other permutations - but i cannot get into the stock recovery.
Once i press the volume down button instead though, i can quickly jump into download mode.
Is this normal? or am i doing something completely wrong?
Is there another way to get into stock recovery mode?

Don't release the power button until you see the recovery screen.

maybe also try flashing another kernel?

Boot loop on stock Bell GT-I9000M
I have tried to get to the recovery screen also with varied timing on button presses and releases, but no luck. Vol down and power gets me to download screen every time though.

I would keep trying the volume up power and home and as soon as you see the black background with galaxy showing let go of all buttons but wait until you see it restart again. So you'll hold vol. up + power + home and your phone will restart and you'll see the galaxy words keep holding the buttons until it restarts again and when you see the words let go of all three buttons. Now if your willing to switch kernels I would go to www.darkyrom.com and follow the directions there for flashing darkyrom 10.4.2 its just as smooth as stock but its not stock and voids your waranty, but since you dont have a waranty go for it. Good luck if you need any extra help you can pm me as well. I have had my phone since Oct. 2010 and flashed atleast a hundred roms and thought i broke my phone a few times but these thing are damn near impossible to totally mess up.

Is there a minimum remaining battery-life requirement for the device to enter Recovery?
Does the 3-button Recovery require power cable to be attached or not?
For what its worth, my I9000m has a Build Date of 11.04 and came with Froyo 2.2, so unless he already updated he's definitely not on 2.3.3
Downloading Kies to your PC and updating to 2.3.3 that way, just might work. Thats what I did.

[Q] Bricked phone? flashed SlimICS through Clockwork

hey all, i've had my captivate for about two years now, and for a while i used cognition, then for the last year i've been using firefly. firefly has completely destroyed my phone's speed and responsiveness, and i needed to clean everything off and start with a minimalist ROM. so i picked slimICS.
i'm still very hazy on the details and terminology of flashing ROMs, but i got two to work (i remember using one-click root thing in 2010, and then in 2011 i flashed firefly through clockwork) so i figured it shouldn't be a problem to install slim, which i figured would be my last ROM until next year, when i'd get a new phone.
so i backed up my stuff, tried to get into recovery mode with the 3 buttons (didn't work, unsurprising since it didn't work last year either), took out my SIM, went to CWM, and selected the flash rom option. this restarted the phone and sent it into recovery mode--except it was the stock recovery, and i couldn't select anything because i think firefly made the phone think it was the i9000 model from canada, instead of the i897 captivate, so it assumed i had a physical "ok" button on my phone (which i obviously do not). i tried the power button, the various capacitive buttons on the bottom, nothing would select any of the options, so i just took out the battery and put it back in. the phone immediately booted into the CWM recovery menu, in which i selected flash ROM, and scrolled down to choose slimICS.
i let it do its thing for a while, it jumped between the AT&T white logo screen and a screen with scrolling text for like 5-10 minutes, then just stayed on the AT&T logo screen for another ten minutes. i should have left it for maybe a half hour to be sure, but i figured the install failed. i couldn't get out of this so i pulled the batttery. and now the phone is bricked (soft i hope). if i hold the power button it goes to the AT&T white logo, flashes briefly for a half-second and goes back to the screen, then stays there indefinitely. no button combinations seem to work. does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks!

Since you backed everything up, I'd suggest flashing a stock rom via Odin or Heimdall to clean everything up before moving forwards.
You can flash a non-bootloader one to be safe, or if you want to make sure you can flash anything, flash a package with Gingerbread bootloaders.

how do i flash anything in my phone's current condition? it doesn't turn on fully. it's stuck at the white AT&T logo.

Turn it completely off (pull the battery, if necessary), then hold V+ and V-, and insert a USB cable. That should put it in download mode. Once you're there, you can flash a stock rom (There's a stick with those roms in the development section).

doesn't work. as i mentioned in the OP, i can't get into download or recovery mode or whatever. these button combos have never ever worked with this phone. for example, holding + and - and inserting a cable with ODIN open has never done anything. that's why i used clockwork.

Sounds like u r gonna need a Jig. If u are on a pc, click on my sig link below and there u will find a link on how to make a jig and/or where to buy one.

is that guaranteed to work? or is it most likely? or is it unlikely at this point?

The jigs that I have made myself in the past and as well the professional made ones that I have purchased have always worked to get me into download mode.

The jig is worth a try, I suggest you should

if I'm reading the op right, and if memory serves firefly was an I9000 build and button combos are different. My suggestion would get the Odin kk4 one click with repartition and WITH boot loaders from 4-2ndtwin's sig links, open that and while powered off and holding just the vol- button insert the USB that should do the trick. I9000 builds use different boot loaders with different button combos. Since you will be flashing a boot loader package be aware this is when you can truly hard brick your device. Be sure you have a good connection and cable before starting. If you still can't get into download mode I can +1 on the jig. The jig and 4-2ndtwins one click has saved my bacon more than once.

ok so i bought the jig, and good news: it gets me into download mode! yay!
problem: i don't know where to go from here. i've tried the following:
A. after getting into download mode, i followed the ODIN method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266, meaning i flashed the gingerbread bootloader update (nothing happened to the phone, which made me confused when i got to step 7., because i was STILL IN download mode), then flashed the speedmod kernel (which reset the phone, but it just got stuck in the "SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE i-897" white text on black screen, forever. i had to do a battery pull. turning on the phone goes to the same screen and then it freezes. trying to hold all three buttons to go into recovery mode alternates between that screen and the white AT&T screen, actually alternates, forever if i let it.
B. after that failed, i tried using the 2.2 Heimdall one-click (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172) but the file, when run, says
Code:
ERROR: Drivers Not Found
Installing drivers
but i still followed the instructions (except the instructions say "Install driver" but the actual button is "Replace driver"?) in any case, this does nothing. and then checking off "Flash bootloaders" and doing it again does nothing. the phone remains in download mode.
C. so i wanted to try one-click downloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989, but nothing pops up on the ODIN window when i plug my phone in. i can't even do anything.
please help!

please, does nobody know what to do?

Take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread for some more things to try. At this point, it sounds like you need to clear all the phone drivers off of your machine and reinstall them.

thanks, that worked! (it was my laptop that was the source of the connection issues i think; i tried all that stuff in the thread, but when i switched to the desktop, all of a sudden ODIN recognizes the phone!) i got my phone to flash ODIN one-click. so now i'm back to stock 2.1 eclair.
however, much to my dismay, i still can't get into recovery mode to (re-) root. the three button combo still does the weird flashing thing, where the white AT&T logo shows up, then the screen goes to black, then the AT&T logo, then black... ad infinitum. how do i either 1) enter recovery, or 2) re-root the phone + get a nice, lean, fast, modern ROM on it without going into recovery?
so far this thread has helped me unbrick the phone, now all i need is to update it from stock!

I could be wrong but when you do the 3 button combo it sounds like you are continually holding the buttons which will cause it to keep looping like you describe. Starting with your phone off hold down all three buttons. The phone will show the white ATT screen. Then if you had a custom kernel it would show the kernel splash screen, in your case you said it just goes black which is fine too. Then you will of course get the white ATT screen again. As soon as you see the white ATT screen again release all the buttons and that should boot it into recovery.

i tried various durations of holding the buttons. none worked. 2nd AT&T logo, nope. 1st black screen, nope. 1st AT&T logo, nope.

Your gonna have to get ADB set up on your pc. Then... "adb reboot recovery" will get u into recovery mode.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop on T-Mobile Galaxy S6

Hey all,
I'm a noob when it comes to rooting Android phones and everything that comes along with it. This morning I attempted my SM-G920T using the Chainfire auto-root method (downloaded an application called Odin v. 3.07), got my phone into Odin mode, and did everything that was required. Then the application log just got stuck at " NAND Write Start!!!" and wouldn't go from there. Ten minutes pass, and I reboot the phone into Odin mode, and then download a different version of Odin (3.10.6 I think it was). I used the same tar.md5 file that came with the first Odin 3.07 and used it with this second version, 3.10..6. This time, the log ran the long list of commands and ended with a PASS!! Then, on the phone's screen, a little blue Android guy with an eyepatch appeared and ran another list of commands. It looked like SuperSU got installed. But that's where the excitement ended. Now my phone won't even boot past the "Galaxy S6 - Powered by Android" logo. It just keeps booting over and over again, to that same screen, and I'm not sure how to undo or correct what I did! Any info and help on the matter is definitely appreciated.

Boot into download mode again and retry, make sure on Odin 3.10 nothing is checked. Let it download and when it's done, you might have to manually reboot like I did because it looks like it's stuck on download mode.. just hold vol down home and power til it resets.. after it resets if will launch chainfire, and will reboot a couple times, don't touch it til it's fully booted.

Wow...that fixed it! Thank you so much!

are you sure this is correct verbatim? when i re-ran with auto-reboot and F.reset off, odin failed. and then it kept failing even when i tried again with them checked again. had to try a bunch of times to get odin just to pass again. now it has (w/ auto-reboot checked), and i'm back to this boot loop thing, going back forth between a blue android character screen and a b&w S6 Edge screen (yes, i have an Edge, but am guessing they are similar for this purpose). Thanks.
sorry! i should add that i gave up on chainfire and rooting here, what i'm describing is simply using odin to go back to stock. i just want the phone to work again.

Try 3.10.6 of Odin, it is currently bundled with cf auto root. 3.10 did not work for me either.

Hi.
I flashed the wrong recovery image, with the flash app. Now my S6 hangs up at the boot. Only the screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 - Powered..." was shown. I cannot turn the device off. I can press Vol- Power and Home, the S6 restarts and hang up again. I try also to get into the download menu, but it won't work. Any idea? Now I wait for the battery is empty and try tomorrow again to get into the download menu. But maybe somebody has a better solution for me?
