[Q] Major problem, help needed please.. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I earlier today tried to upgrade the official firmware on my Galaxy S though Keiss and it seemed to go well, it said that when the phone finishes rebooting the upgrade will be successful but the phone never did finish rebooting, all it does now is show the S logo for a minute or 2 then the screen goes blank and every 30 seconds or so it vibrates.
Unfortunately my phone is one of the ones that does not have the 3 button recovery option and Keiss no longer recognises the phone so I haven't got a clue what to do to sort out this mess..
Please please please help me.......
Thanks,
Gareth

Yea.
Can you get in root menu. Search in the forums for bricked phone fixes
I hope you find a solution for it.
If not well just send it back to the shop and tell about it. DOnt worry,
Its not your fault since its official update

Can you go to download mode? If yes, then flash a firmware from odin as mentioned above. Else return is the only option provided you haven't left any trace of manipulation on your phone...
Had the same thing. The phone didn't even react after connecting to the charger.
I had to give it to Samsung, got it back after almost two weeks. But it came back unbranded

Please help me out.I brought my phone 1 week back and installed cyanogenmod 7 on it.But after using it I thought its not so good in terms of look.So I decided to revert it back.I downloaded andoird 2.2 firmware from LG website and used KDZ to install it.But when I was installing it phone restarted automatically and LG logo appears and a black screen came.I tried to install many time but still stuck on this.Please help me..I blocked my internet connection and I tried with different modes like emergency and diag and disabled LG modem in device manager.Nothing is working.Please help me and whether I can get it to LG service center and whether they can find it out that I flash my phone.So that I can repair it telling it is in warranty.Please help me guys.This is my first android phone.

Brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 stuck in boot loop? Please help I'm new to Android :(

Hey guys!
I just bought my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone from T-Mobile Hungary today. I brought it home , turned it on, and I saw KitKat. He offered me the upgrade to Lollipop, he even downloaded it, and then it said it would start the installation progress, it restarted and when it turned on recovery booting it said "error" With a +!+ in a red triangle and restarted again and I see KitKat, Lollipop is nowhere.
The phone is a couple hours old, no root , nothing.
Could you please help me?

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help is the thread for your device thos guys will know what to do and how to,ask around there my friend. Be ready to do a factory via recovery (i dont think it will solve your problem) or flash your stock rom with some software (99% it will work, the other 1% is damaged hardware). Of course you can always take the phone back to where you buy it.

Need help with stucked S7

Hi
I recently tried to root my phone from this guide: devs-lab.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge
I followed the instructions and flashed this file from ODIN:
Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
The file transferred ok and when the phone started rebooting it just stopped with a fault message on the screen.
Now the phone is stucked and i can't get contact with Odin. Odin recognizes the phone on the port but i cant flash to the phone.
The only way i have a chance to install on the phone now is with SD-card, because i am able to get to the recovery mode.
But when i try to install new stockware i just get signature failed message.
Does anyone know how i can get out of this mess ? I know its possible to turn of the signature check, but i cant get any options like this in the menu ..... BTW the phone is a G930F
I would really appreciate all help !
Thanks
Tom

Hi,
I dont remember exactly the fault message because my phone has been sent to service. But i will get it back in a couple of days. Then i will tell you the entire message. But is was something about kernel fault....
The service center says i have to replace the main board on the phone which cost almost the same as a new phone....
But i'm sure the main board is not broken...

Blah that's never good. Though I don't always trust things HAVE to be replaced at the hardware level. But it is what it is. Hopefully when you get it back all will be working for you! Unless it was just a bad chip, failing at the same time you were trying to write the new files to memory?

Well....
Actually i'm hoping to fix the phone withouth replacing the main board since it is so expencive.
So i asked them to return it withouth replacing. Because as long as i can get the phone in recovery mode its not broken. I just need to get pass Samsungs signature verification somehow... Then i can install new firmware...
Still hoping to get help. I will post the error message as soon as i get the phone back,
Thanks so far

I think I did the same thing when I first got the Phoenix, and did not research and do not turn the OEM Unlock feature on. I messed up things and through a lot of reflashing and panic searching, got mine to come back.
I since have seen others post issues that sound horrible but have been recoverable. We'll help you try to figure it out once you get the phone back.

Hi, i finally got my phone back.
Been trying different things like installing new firmware by using the SD-card. And also by using ADB, since the phone allows me to install software through ADB.
But no matter what i do the phone tells that signature verification failed.
I think one fault i did when installing the twrp custom recovery from ODIN i forgot to press the key combo and it started up with the original bootloader. Then it got stuck with the error screen i told you about.
I have uploaded a picture of the error message below.
If anyone knows how to get by the signature verification test then maby i could be able to install new firmware....
Thanks again, i will be grateful for any tips that could help me !
Best Regards
Tom

Good NEWS !!!!!
I managed to get the phone working again...
What i did was:
Holding the volume down, home and power button at the same time. When the phone went black i plugged in the USB cabel from the computer.
The error message came up 2 - 3 times but i kept holding the buttons.
Eventually it went into download mode and i used ODIN to flash the firmware...
I hope this could solve the problem also for others facing similar issues.
Thanks to BWolf56 who posted in a forum here. His tips fom 2011 .... helped me.

Great to hear... Good luck from here on out!
This is a good sign not to listen to tech support. They don't know, or mess with this stuff, as much as us!
Happy flashing and hope no more scares from here on out...
