[Q] problem after flashing, i cant get my sgs working again --> pls help

hi @ all and many thanks at beginn..
my problem:
i flash the darky's rom whit voodoo 6, but i have some problems whit the keyboard on the rom, and after i didnt receive a answer from darky, i wanted to flash back to jpm rom. i disable the lagfix like in the howto guide whit the folder disable lagfix, and after i start the flash the rom.
the problem is, i cant get it running again on my phone, i allways geht a one long vibration and after three smalls, i try to wype data and the cache partition, format the internal sd card, but all this whitout success.
the seccond thing, when i flash a rom like jpm over odin, does not matter which one, it takes a lot lot time, somethimes around 90min to complete the flash process.
the most time, over 90% odin have for writing factoryfs.rfs. im not sure, but i think have something whit the voodoo patch, but i didnt have a idea how to fix this problem.
only one rom which i bring to run is wjm9, and when i look on the internal sd card, there isnt a voodoo folder.
so can somebody help me, or give me some inputs, what can i try at next?
many thanks again!

after you created the lag fix folder did you restart the sgs and let it boot fully back up?

yes of course, i create the disable lagfix folder in to the voodoo folder, make a restart, let the phone start up, and turn it off again. but some secconds before the phone goes off, i hear this acoustic voice regarding voodoo status, but i dont care about while before i turned off it start and this voice tells that the partition was sucessfully converted to rfs.
what im trying right now, after i install jm8 whit repartition, i was now able to flash jpm again, it looks like it works again, but i will test it again.
i try a lot of things, flash jpm, jp3, jm9, jm6 and after jm8 it seems to work again. i hope so.. ,) will report back, maybe somebody runs in the same thing..

SGS Back to life using a jig.. now what?

I messed up my Bell SGS playing with odin.
Lost the 3 button options and ended up hacking a jig to get it into DL mode. done
Goal - a Functioning phone. Now what?
Thinking I should odin the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.tar.
But with or without repartition?
Can I use any 512pit?
I think repartitioning is where i messed it up.
Now all of this happened because I wanted seeARMS.JL2.v0.4 but couldn't update with the <3e> recovery mode.
Knowing that seeArms is my second (first?) goal, is there a different firmware I should flash something other than BMC to give me back update functions, but stable to resuscitate my phone?
There's ages of material here and I don't want brick my phone or waste time, I've done enough of that by myself.. now I'm looking for some expert opinion.
thanks

Best option for bell users is darkys rom. For further info check darky's rom info

So the stock JL2 that I have is a .tar and .dll
I have a 512.pit from a beta 2.2 , are they different?
Did I mention boot problems too? Hanging @ Samsung, no splash ani.
I guess the .pit means yes on repartition?
Thanks

Just use the stock firmware and .pit from samfirmware.com and when Odin is open do not tick off repartirion... just put the .pit in it's spot and the tar in th's PDA part and flash

Download a full firmware for your model and locale (with dbdata in it) and flash it with repartition with the pit proposed (samfirmware.com) then, I believe, you will have a full functioning phone. If everything is ok, then flash ... whatever.

It's Alive! - Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 fixed.
Hey All,
Got it all working again.
Repaired: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
the fix: A full firmware (pda/csc/phone/pit) flash w/repartition.
Flashed w/repartition - I9000XXJP2.7p. (the only FULL firmware I had on-hand)
on reboot the system does a media check and was successful in reformatting and mounting the internal SD.
Phone didn't like the ROM and still logo of death, but..
A quick Jig into Download Mode..
Flashed I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar with no repartition
(can't remember if I used .pit).
And Success!! my phone is alive and running 2.2
Thanks for the help, and hopefully this thread can help others.
Everyone should build/get a jig
There is nothing more awesome than being able to force download your non-booting phone.
I could not have done this repair without one.

Yes, do this. For repartition to work the .tar has to have dbdata.rfs, otherwise it won't work.
Then flash a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm and flash you're favourite custom rom

unlock&root owngrade or speedmod kernel? suggestions?
Forgot to mention that all this started after I got the phone back from Bell service after SD card failure.
I know mod methods changed with the latest firmware, as I had used the update.zip method that is now unavailable.
My phone went in unlocked and rooted
the phone came back re-locked (old code doesn't work? wtf?),
and it was unrooted w/3e recovery
Can the phone unlock code change?
Will downgrading to 2.1 make unlocking easier?
or is unlocking just as simple after a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm
Which is better?
downgrade the firmware to 2.1 and root using the old update.zip method or speedmod kernel?
Which kernel? (link please )
cheers

You know what....I've been trying various combinations of CSC/MODEM/PIT and everything to get this phone running again.
All I did was select a FULL UGJL2, and thats IT. NO pit, NO repartition, and it worked

The best way to revive your I9000m is to first flash JPC (a three file ROM) with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. The phone will still be in a boot loop. Then flash the JL2 PDA without repartition or PIT. The best way to go back to stock! Has always worked for me. I9000m's are not the same as other I9000's and do not flash repartition and the PDA in the same flash! Good luck!

3 combos buttons work ?
Vol down+home+power on/off ?
Vol Up + home+ power on/off ?
if yes, try to flash the correct rom for I9000M

If you can get into download mode, and Odin sees your phone, then it is very unlikely that you bricked it.
Just flash Darkys ressurection or stock Samsung ROM from Odin.

ok installed darkys, now all phone does is flash galaxy i9000 screen

managed to get past that screen and back to recovery mode, and still d/l mode, trying EZBASE now as i was getting as far as colour S then bursts of vibrations
UPDATE:
stuck on boot loop now, still can access recovery and d/k mode, after trying to install EZBase. is their any other siggestions.
pref, instructions and files for re-loading stock firmware for australia on it, if memory calls had 2.2 of eclair

still no luck people, any further advice please

I just had the same issue with my i9000m. Download the fireware I9000UGJL2.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
It fixed my issue instantly. Then go to that kitchen rom website and create your own ROM. My phone has never been faster. GPS works very good, way better than before. Even cell service is 100000000000 times better....

ok, good news is i have it working stock rom and rooted, got most aps back on, now my issue is, i cant install clockwork recovery from rom manager, i tried it via odlin and got the screen of phone and pc and the exclamation mark. can some1 please help out as to how i can get clockwork recovery mod installed.

ok thanks, what should i flash then, or how can i update to 2.2 or 2.3 without loosing files and apps ?

Man you should not try to flash things when you don't understand them.
For this moment you tried to flash a kernel that is for a gingerbread rom (JVB, android 2.3.3) on your Eclair 2.1. Don't you think you should read a bit more before flashing everything on your phone?
Go to the official rom thread and follow the guides to flash a gingerbread(2.3.3) or Froyo(2.2) rom

Ok ill put this as plain and as simple as i can
1. I am new to flashing
2. I asked how to do it, as after all this is a q&a section
3. I feel my questions hvae not been answered correctley
so i shall explain again and this time links may help
1. I want a kernal that will give me recovery options
2. I do not want to loose anything on the phone
3. I want to upgrade to 2.3
so i would like links please or someone who can take the time to write a quicvk step list telling me what to do.

You really need to go to main thread and all info is there, it would take ages to talk you out of this...its all out there, seek and you shall find, its tough love

[Q] Firmware flash with Odin problem GT-i9000M

Today, my phone became laggy and I restarted my phone, however it didn't boot past the samsung galaxy s i900m screen. It never reaches the animation screen.
This happened before and after hours of trying different methods i sent it in to get fixed but now it has happened again and i want to see if i can fix it myself.
I have tried to flash it with I9000UGKC1 without any PIT file and repartition unticked and odin had completed it successfully but the phone just cycles back into the boot screen.
Ive tried flashing it again with the same firmware and a 512 PIT file with repartition ticked and unticked but its always the same result.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or are there any other suggestions?
p.s I have rooted the phone and applied a lagfix.
Thanks in advance.

Rule one before flashing UNDO LAGFIX lagfix F**** your install .

Hi dude,
Try flashing with the ODIN included.
Hopefully, it will fix your problem
P.S. if nothing works try flashing Darky's resurrection edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671&highlight=[ODIN+ROM]
Good luck!

Thanks for the replies guys.
jje, i would disable it now but since it's bricked i dont think i can. Also i cant get into recovery mode. Im only getting into download mode because i bought myself a jig the last time this happened.
Nitro, i dont know what you mean by "ODIN included" ive been using odin to flash it.
What is Darky's by the way? Is it a custom ROM?

darkys is a custom rom... and Im pretty sure he meant he had attached odin for you.
Maybe try flashing JL2 with 512 and part checked..? does odin flash without an issue? and do you get any errors when trying to enter recovery?

Oh okay... well i was using odin 1.7 anyway
odin flashes without an issue and i cant get into recover because my phone is one of the unfortunate ones without 3BR.
I'll try flash it again as you said but if it doesnt work ill just go ahead and send it in to get fixed.

there are phones with no 3BR? I thought it was only 3 button download??? So odin flashed without any issues and you still cannot boot?
What firmware are you flashing?
Try JL2/KC1 maybe try a gb like JVO

usually the phones can't get into either.
i had to buy a jig to get into download mode.
ive tried KC1, JL2 and some others for android 2.1 and the same keeps happening. Odin flashes fine but the phone never boots
I'm just going to send it in to get fixed. I was just seeing if it was me doing something wrong or its just the phone and well it seems like its the phone.
Thanks for your help

if you can hit download mode you should be able to flash it, does adb work for you to get into recovery i think it's something like
adb reboot recovery.....not sure on that though, anyways, try flashing a new kernel, go to the dev section and flash hardcore speedmod then flash the rom again, at this point I dont think it matters so I would try using a 512 pit and tick repartition......just me though, i'd be trying everything before I sent it away

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 softbricked; won't enter recovery or reflash from download mode

Similar to Masterslackers issue.
The phone was originally a stock Optus Éclair 2.1. About 6 months ago I decided to customize the i9000 with a custom Froyo 2.2.1 Rom (Doc's Rom Docs_XWJS3_Wipe-v9_1) from “The ROM Kitchen”. It worked really well and was much faster and responsive..
Yesterday, I decided to look at a move to Gingerbread and cook another ROM @ the ROM Kitchen, this time a Gingerbread 2.3.4 iteration.
The phone was rooted so I used Rom Manager to get into recovery mode where I could flash my new, Doc's JVR_No_Wipe-v8-00-08-22-10-09-4e6a8e4e86718.zip Rom.
All seemed to go well, but after the Flash, as the phone booted the first screen became filled with 100s of random coloured lines, then it transitioned to the normal Samsung start animation, but soundless.
After booting, I noticed that I no longer had a notification bar where battery, time, signal strength etc. was normally displayed atop the screen. I tried several different launchers to see if that was the issue, but to no avail. I tried to enable the notification bar using Go Launchers gesture setting (no go)
I tried rebooting the phone over and over, the notification bar would not return.
I was starting to lament my decision to flash when the following occurred.
I tried to re-enter recovery mode via ROM Manager to install a different ROM, but the phone bypassed it and then hung @ the Samsung I9000 logo screen. I then had to power the phone off before it would reboot into its UI. I could no longer reach recovery mode by any means.
Because I was getting nowhere and I had read that after flashing a new rom, root would often be lost, so I tried rerooting with "XXJVP-Complete-Rooting-Package" from
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-on-android-2-3-4-xxjvp-firmware/ This also failed but it has also left me with a soft bricked phone.
The phone will not boot up or boot into recovery now, however It would still boot into (3 button) download mode.
I have tried various versions of Odin from v1.0 to v4.28 to ReFlash the phone back to life but with no success yet.
Using Odin, the phone hangs with no sign of progress and reports the following when left for 30minutes or so.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Anyone have any suggestions that might help to get the phone back.
Thanks, TeZ

So you didn't flash stock gingerbread before flashing custom rom? so you should first flash stock jvr and do hard reset after booting. Then you are safe to flash cwm capable kernel and custom rom.
For the odin problems, maybe you have kies running in background? Kill all kies processes and try again.
And I'd suggest reading all guides found in romkitchen thread..it saves lots of trouble. Hope that can fix your phone

Agree with above post, if you have Klies on your pc/laptop uninstall it, and re download the drivers, i have a good 2.3.4 tutorial and root 2.3.4 tutorial, both with Odin, let me know if interested. Also if you have heimdall installed then uninstall it also.

After you unistalled Kies (or at least stop it) and installed the drivers , pick a stock rom with bootloader from Ramad collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 .
I prefer Odin 1.82.

Thanks for your input, right now i need all the help I can get, hadn't heard of heimdall before. I guess its one more thing I could try if all else fails. But right now I'm going to try a few more conventional things with odin, like flash a stock rom etc.

Thanks for the info, running out of time today, will try for tomorrow

When moving from a froyo (2.2) rom to gingerbread, (2.3), you need the gingerbread bootloaders or you'll get all sorts of crap when turning on your phone (ie what you have).
Use odin to flash back to froyo, or flash a gingerbread firmware that comes with bootloaders. (I would recommend going back to froyo first to make sure everything is ok, since flashing bootloaders is a bit risky, as messing it up can permanently brick your phone)

Ok, here's where I'm at:
For the sake of simplicity I will detail what gave positive results rather than a tirade of what didn't.
Uninstalled Kies, rebooted
As instructed, went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
downloaded: Odin v1.82
downloaded: Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Australia and New Zealand)
XWJVN/XXJVQ/XSAJV5/Sbl (CSC: XSA): Download (150 MB) (Build date: Sun Jul 10 11:30:54 KST 2011)
Loaded up Odin and followed instructions.
Flash went ahead as normal and I now have a working phone again, thanks to you DSGE, I'm a very happy man
So I now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and running.
My only issue's now is, that.
1. Half my apps dont work now or force close even after a reinstall.
2. Some apps won't install at all IE; my fav launcher; Go Launcher
3. I no longer have root access so Rom Manager and Titanium backup wont work.
4. My Backup Pro, works after I rewrote the correct path to the External Sd, but do I want to do that just yet? and just how much data should I reinstate so I don't corrupt the new system?
What should I do now?
Install busybox?
do a hard reset?
Flash a different Rom that will work for me?
Thanks so very much for all the good advise.
Cheers

First root the phone, then either a different rom, or format system and re install 2.3.3 or which ever u just installed, i think ure apps are not working due to the phone needing a wipe/reset and cache cleared from clockwork recovery

OK, latest update:
Everything is working fine including all my progs.
Like you say, I just need to root it now.
Can you point me to the correct files to root?
Thanks

Seems to relate to 2.1 to 2.2.1 didn't see any mention of 2.3.3. I'm afraid I'll stuff the phone if I use the old root files.
