[Q] Samsung Kies Update, Phone Failure - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, which I had rooted and had done the lag fix for.
I decided to update the Android OS to 2.2.
So I removed the lag fix, but didn't remove root.
I then tried to officially upgrade via Kies.
The upgrade went through, Kies confirmed completion, and the phone rebooted.
However on reboot the phone gets past the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and stays on a blank screen, vibrating every 20-30 seconds.
I can restart in recovery and download mode but don't know what the correct steps are to get the phone working again.
If anyone can offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Try a factory reset from recovery.

No need to flash the older firmware again?

had the same problem, factory reset solved it for me

Hey hi. I too had the same trouble.kies said upgrade was but the phone wouldnt boot after restart. Unfortunately for me I ended up going to samsung service centre for fixing this problem. Not sure how to do factory reset when phone doesn't turn on. Three button also didn't work for me..

flash again and wait.
I had to wait more than 15mins for the first boot ....then it came out and booted into the tablet.
I'll try it and now, but I waited over 20 minutes and nothing.
I think you should redownload and try the tar again. I'm sprint and have dne mine several times no issues.

Maybe if you listed what you were trying to flash we could be of more help.. You could have a bad kernel flash, or just need to reboot back into recovery and do a data and cache wipe.. Theres a number of things..

You need to post -
1. What rom.
2. GSM or CDMA.
3. Steps done.
It also helps if you have a copy of your stock rom in case a restock is needed...
It P1000 is a GSM GT. I do not know what the firmware was in it at first but I did update via Kies 2.3.3 Then the stock is in tablet Backup blocked. Then I tried with almost all European firmware with samfirmware site and no I did not succeed. Odin sends me the message that the system is successfully upgraded, but at startup I get a message that is not mount E disk and then stuck in samsung blinked screen.
I do not have copy of my stock rom unfortunately.
That's about all I know about the problem.

Galaxy Note stuck at boot screen after OTA update

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?
No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick
Thanks for your help

Unable to enter recovery mode
Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.
Thanks.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!
Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

You have to try again to get it into download mode.
Use Odin for your device model and run it as administrator. If Kies is installed, kill all Kies processes by using Task Manager. Prepare the files under PDA etc. Pull out the battery and hold power button pressed for 1min. Then keep all buttons combo for download mode and insert the battery while pressed (needs some acrobacy skills). If the download mode starts, you can connect your phone and flash firmware again.

it turns on after 10 or 15 minutes(the longest was 1 hour), but when i try and reset it to factory mode, I still see the old gmail accounts and settings including the alarm clock, and I cant really use the android market....
again I already tried resetting the phone using the up key, home key, and power key, but it still takes long to turn on.
Need help as soon as possible please! thank you!
Market? What android are you running? Its called Play Store now!

If you prefer a stock rom without or a modified stock rom with root you could flash a 2.3.6 Odin Rom. That will update your complete system and reset it to the default values.

i unplugged my phone and tried to turn it on it wouldn't turn on or anything......i can still get it to go into download mode but i don't think that would do any good...should i just turn my phone in for repairs?

Correct me if I'm wrong but... in download mode, phone just reads what's sent via usb cable and installs it. If it's not working I would say it's the hardware that's broken.

[Q] CRAP!!!!!!!...my Note having problem! is this Bricked?

Right....here goes..
Now my Note is stuck on 'Samsung GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000' screen..no samsung screen etc..been on since 30 mins or so.
way before this i was on LLXT5 samsung official firmware, last active scrren on my phone was telling me my memory card is spoilt..will need to format..
So what i did was to power off the phone..take out memory card and load into my com..well it works..(32gb)
when i try to power up it stuck on the above...no samsung screen etc..
Yes have try charging..(still can charge when phone is off.)
so i go into recovery mode..power up thing..i can only go reboot..cant do a restore etc..i go have a ultimate jellybean V6 zip inside..but can't be read..
so next i use ODIN to flash to XXLT5 again..well i work..as in flashing..green and everything..but..after reboot..im still stuck on the samsung ...n7000 screen...
so yeah....anyway to fix this? have done some reading on this over XDA but dun seems to work..so far i have done what im suppose to do...
much help needed!! thanks all!
looks like bootloop issue, I would suggest wipe cache.
best from safe kernel as stock is not guaranteed. However if you feel lucky.
get into recovery by pressing volume up, power and homekey button at same time when switching on, keep pressed until recovery boots.
if cache doesnt work, factory reset from recovery.
if that doesnt work warrantee at service centre
maybe go warrantee first because Samsung needs to know they made buggy software :'(
thanks for replying!
ohhh boy! i have to bypass the last option...export set here..lol!!!!!!!
check my addition to previous message, warrantee maybe first.
Thanks !! Got it working somehow..hopefully stay that way! Thanks again!!
