Phone: Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Firmware: Stock Froyo 2.2
Hello all!
I have updated to Froyo with Kies and all went fine. Now I have decided to give a try to this ROM. I looked for instructions and did as Darky said in his instructions. I have moved files to SD card and went to DOWNLOAD mod by pushing 3 buttons and got an error "no such file or folder" as I have moved files to wrong folder. I rebooted my phone and moved/checked for files that they are on SD card in right folder. After that I made "Factory reset" via menu. Now when I'm holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons my phone won't let me to DOWNLOAD mode. Is there some block or something? I haven't flashed anything yet just went to download mode and rebooted once. I have not any DOWNLOAD button by pressing power button when phone is ON.
- Any ideas?
THANK YOU!
Can anyone give some suggestion? Why I can't access Recovery mode anymore?
THANK YOU!

ekh... bought a nexus one off craigslist. it was already rooted. i used it for a day and then decided i didnt want to keep it, so i decided to do a hard reset. it's now stuck on the screen with the four different colors (nexus symbol) and the unlocked lock on the bottom. i've done the clear storage by holding the volume down (or trackball) and pressing power. i've tried to go through all those settings and cleared everything, but it still wont load..
any ideas? do i need to re-flash the original rom? can i flash a rom if it doesnt boot up? please help, as this is my first android phone and i've had it all of 24 hrs.. thanks

Omar,
Please read the second sticky post in the forum "[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutorial" This has all the files and will tell you the steps to return your phone to the original shipping rom.
You can skip to step 5 once you download the necessary files. To get into fastboot mode on the phone do the following:
1. Power off the phone
2. Hold down the volume down key and press the power button (continuing to hold the volume down key)
3. Release both and it should boot into a white screen with the top, highlighted, option being fastboot
4. Press the power button to enter into fastboot mode. The screen should say fastboot-usb in red
Once you see fastboot usb you can begin to erase and flash the roms per the instructions.
FYI: The fact that your phone is booting to the four colored X logo means that your phone is not bricked. It is simply in some sort of boot loop. A bricked phone will show nothing on the screen and will not connect to the computer in any way shape or form.
if anyone can help me via AIM i would really appreciate it. i think i'm just about there, just need a little more info

i'm trying to figure out this fastboot thing.. i got the USB thing to work, so now my computer detects the phone. i downloaded fastboot but it keeps giving me some error message that it cant find some file... any ideas from there? thanks
omar
ok.. found and downloaded the sdk, and now when i open fastboot, it just closes right away.. wtf am i doing wrong?
You are running fastboot from a command prompt right?
To open a command prompt type "cmd" into run.
Posting a thread in the right forum might get you some help. =]
Hope you have a custom recovery (most likely). Hold volume down and push the power button. Then on the white screen, press volume down once and select Recovery by pressing Power. Hopefully, you'll have Amon Ra's recovery. If so, then you will be sent into this recovery screen where you can turn on USB mode which will allow you to connect to your computer so you can download a ROM onto your SD Card. Do that.
Then you disconnect...wipe everything under the 'Wipe' settings...then Flash the new ROM. You should be good to go from there!

Hi All,
I have a samsung galaxy S with Froyo 2.2 installed via Kies.
Today I tried to flash it via Clockwork Mod Recovery...
However, I accidently selected the Axura 2.05Vibrant file...
The phone rebooted after the flash, showed some strange screens... and then died...
Now it's unresponsive to the Download Mode, Recovery Mode, etc...
All the button combo's fail.
Additional info, Originally the 3-button combo was disabled on this phone, but I fixed this according to info found on this forum...
Is this now an expensive paperweight? :-(
Thanks
Sis
Well Vibrant uses a different button combination then the I9000. Have you tried holding both volume button down and then pressing the power button? Alternatively, try pressing both volume button and then plug the usb in.

Hey
I used cwm to install Darkys Rom 10.2, it said successfully installed unfortunately when I reboot it shows the at&t logo and then goes back to the recovery menu. I tried installing it a second time same result. When I try to go into download mode using these methods
"2. The Power + Volume Down Method: If the phone doesn't display the "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture on power up:
Remove and replace the battery.
Hold the Volume Down button while pressing the power button until the "Download Mode" picture displays. Then release the buttons.
3. If the phone is "semi-bricked"; i.e., the "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture appears on power up (perhaps from a bad ROM flash):
Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
Remove and replace the battery.
Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down.
4. If the phone does not allow you to go into Download mode after trying the aforementioned steps above you can try this method to "force" it into download mode:
Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.
With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.
While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.
If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again."

it never goes into download mode, it simply shows an image of a battery. After a while it goes into recovery mode.
Any idea what I can do? I am still able to get into CWM, is there any way for me to get another ROM file in there so that I can try flashing another?
I tried putting in an external SD card but I can't browse it to use other rom files
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful
Thanks

In CWM, go to mounts and storage to mount your SD card and put another ROM on. Also, Darky 10.2 REQUIRES lagfix for data AND system which could be your problem now. Enable them if not and reflash

For stock rom is about the same as unbricking. You can use that to go back to Android version 2.3.6
For flashing kernel/custom rom i would usually use ClockWorkMod Recovery

Which recovery are you using? I recommend twrp. See here for installation instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188
After that you can try to install a new rom, following these instructions:

Did you install a custom recovery before trying to install your custom rom?
If you are able to boot into recovery, then you should be able to connect the tab to your computer and put files onto the tab. You should be able to do this even if there is no custom rom installed. Does odin not detect the tab if it's booted into recovery? If so, you might try pushing files with adb onto the tab. If adb doesn't recognize the tab, then you might need to reinstall the drivers on your computer and/or try with a different cable, if you can get hold of one. It might be helpful to describe in more detail what exactly you did and what is failing.
I did this once, I booted into download mode, flashed an original rom from Odin and then put the zip files from my PC and flashed them.
