Hi all. (pardon my english)
I've been looking through this forum for a few hours now and I think I couldnt find a solution to my problem. My phone wont boot. In order to make this easy for you guys to diagnose. Ill brief as much as I could remember of what I did to my phone
I followed this instruction on how install froyo from this link androidadvices dot com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-xxjpy-2-2-1/
I have a samsung galaxy s I9000. As I recall before I did any modification it was on eclair AND yesterday I installed one click lag fix which I downloaded from the android market which meant i've rooted my phone.
TODAY, I tried installing voodoo (for the lag fix) and from the link above it states that I need to have my phone to run firmware XXJPY. I installed ODIN and when asked for a PIT file I've entered the one from the downloaded .zip file (which is the wrong file I think!?), still it says "pass!" and after that I couldn't boot
Oh one more thing. What happens if I fully bricked my phone? If send it to the seller, what will the seller do?
I've tried the 3 combo, 2 combo and 2 combo button with usb cable but still wont work. Can anyone help pleaseeeee.......
Looks like you have lagfixed your phone .
I installed one click lag fix
You then failed to remove the lagfix before flashing your phone breaking phone .
Try via Odin reflash with pit 512 and repartition checked .
That fails do the same but use 2.1 Eclair
You cannot have two lagfixes One Click Lag Fix and Voodoo lagfix .
Oh one more thing. What happens if I fully bricked my phone? If send it to the seller, what will the seller do?
REJECT it broken warranty if they can prove unauthorized modifications but that does depend upon the symptoms it shows a dead phone may just get a correct flash from service centre .

correct me if i'm wrong but based on what i read i don't think he did any unauthorized modification. just tried to go from eclair to froyo.
ok here's an update, I managed boot it to download again and installed the proper 512.pit. Odin says "pass". On tutorial link I given it says
"So, now once you see the above screen with a Green box showing PASS! in the Odin then it means that your device has been successfully installed with the new firmware XXJPY 2.2.1 stock and is now safe for you to remove the USB cable from your phone and now you need to boot your device. Now after successful installation of the new firmware its now time to optimize your device with new firmware so that your phone becomes faster and zippier. First turn off your device, long press the volume up key, press Menu as holding both the buttons press the power button to start."
the difference with my phone is that its switched off instantly after downloading (right after it says "pass!"). When I press volume up + menu + start, it wont start Hope this could do some help.....
correct me if i'm wrong but based on what i read i don't think he did any unauthorized modification. just tried to go from eclair to froyo
Not through any Samsung channels .
As i said looks like you installed a rom with a lagfix enabled and that has broke your update .
Now after successful installation of the new firmware its now time to optimize your device with new firmware so that your phone becomes faster and zippier. First turn off your device, long press the volume up key, press Menu as holding both the buttons press the power button to start.
Dont know where thats coming from at all its nonsense in respect of rebooting an updated phone .
Update via Odin installs pass then phone should reboot if not take out battery for a while then press on button wait until boots .
The forum is littered with the correct instructions but its the lagfix that breaks an update lagfix off before update .
As i said flash to Eclair with repartition and 512 pit should fix the problem .
jje
It might pay you to go back to the forum you got these instructions from .
Or as i said download and flash according to XDA

ok i got it to boot with eclair. I downloaded asia (cause I thought international I9000 are separated by region )and I got chinese version (which I couldnt understand!) lol. Which one do I download? I want english!
btw, thanks for the help!
nvm! solved!
Which one do I download? I want english!

Flash it with Eclair XXJM1 with 512pit. Remember the three boxes must be checked. i.e. Re-partition,Auto Reboot & Force Reset Time.
Then Flash with Froyo 2.2.1 (XXJPY) and this time No Pit & No Auto partition.
It will hardly take 15mins for both.
You're done!
I has problem D:

I had this problem with one zip file.. Don't remember through which one I successfully rooted.I'll be back in a bit.
Do you have stock recovery or already CWM..? cause you know if you flash clockworkmod first then you cant root through it.. you just have to go back to stock recovery --> root --> and then back to CWM. Of course if you HAVE stock recovery now then I dont know.
Try the other zip file -Ace Gingerroot...i guess you found this files at android flip.com so youll find this ither file over there ...cheers p.s. That update.zip dindt work for me too but thr other one did
Edit: u gotta download cwm 4 or 5 (i prefer 5) to b able to root..ull find these files and tutorials here in xda or at androidflip.com....just google it..
P.s. I m not a marketing agent of androidflip.com...i just like thei r work XD

well i dont know anything about what you said in the terms haha.
i am a noob just bought the new device and went to youtube. saw the upd_1
file and did as per instructions.
Also its very annoying to go in recovery mode. i mean i press middle button and
then power up but it just starts normally. i do 20-30 restarts and by fluke once
it gets into recovery mode lol. what am i doing wrong?
just cant get into recovery mode at one shot.
I have downloaded root.zip file from xda developer.will it work?
First press thehome button --keep it pressed and then press the power button till screen comes on..u should be in recovery mode...if u r new to android i suggest u do some research on rooting-pros and cons ..some good ones can be found at androidpolice.com....and never mess with rom.manager or flash wrong cwm recovery on your phone--YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!!!

so I've been trying for 5 hours to fix my semi-bricked phone and I can't do anything .... I've tried with odin 4.43 and some stock ROM-s ... but it gets stuck ... god damn it what should I do , i have no warranty ... GSM service , do they know how to fix things like these? it seems complicated

So I finally managed to fix it with AiresVE.ops , MultiLoader Odin v.4.43 and an official ROM from sammobile , it took 8 minutes but I had to do it on my laptop. Thanks for everything guys.
Hi,
some time ago i got the same problem But don't worry it's easy to solve..
Just download this one:

and download this one to get a stock rom:

then copy both .zips to your external sd and then boot into recovery (press vol+ and power button.. wait 3-5sec and release.. when the android thing & a box appears press and hold the home button (the left touchbutton))
if you're now in the recovery mode, click on "install update via zip" or something like that..
then you navigate to your external sd where the 2 files are
then you install the teamwinrecovery (zip file) after that you shutdown your system (pull the battery^^)
then boot again into recovery and you will see a new recovery (it's the teamwinrecovery)
this can be controlled with your touchscreen
now you click again on "install update via zip" or something like that an navigate again to your external sd..
for that you should navigate on the tip level and open a folder called "emmc"
There you install the other zip (it's your rom) an wait until it's finished
it will reboot automatically
If you get stuck in a recovery loop you should flash the bootloader with odin.. (instructions are given in the teamwinrecovery thread)
Good Luck and sorry for my horrible English
You can send me a pm if you have questions

find cf root, or use semaphore kernel
bootloop becoz wrong kernel flashed, knowing ur build number is important to determine which cf root u needed
if u find da suitable kernel, bootloop will fix by flashing thru odin, but ur sayin u dont even know da version here, so it become more difficult.

The 3 button combo is not working, we tried a jig 2 and i tried multiple 3-BC repairs using Odin, Heimdall and KIES.
and yes i am sure it is a Samsung galaxy S GT-I9000.

Try this:
This feature is great for people who
a) Have a bad KIES flash
b) Stuff up their phone somehow
c) Accidentally flash something dodgy via ODIN
d) Some other random occurence
To test this feature you just need to start with your phone turned off... Best way to be sure is to remove the battery.
Then
1. Put battery back in
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home Key
3. Continue holding those buttons and then press and hold power button.
4. When you see the logo pop up release power button ONLY
5. Keep holding two buttons from step 2 until you enter recovery mode.
I hope this helps!
Nope not one button combo works i tried it all.

DUDE!!!! I have the samsung galaxy s4 att sgh-i337. I recently just tried flashing uxylon from the goo manager . I did standard procedure of factory reset twice, then cache and dalvik cache wipe two times. Just so happens as Im waiting for uXylon or whatever its spelled to flash , my phone decides to stay at the boot screen.... At this point im sweating. After a few minutes i take the battery out and restart regularly . I restart and wait 10 minutes thinking it still may flash uxylon. NOPE. :,( Now im getting really scared. I try to the custom recovery mode.... no twrp OR SYSTEM RECOVERY .... Now Im Falling over scared. I take out battery try again. power , home , volume up , repeatedly . It wont even say booting recovery it only says recovery options then black screen untill I release the buttons. . Then bootloop to logo no recovery. Now Im frantic. I look up adam outler's page on ODIN recovery with stock firmware and ddownload ucuadml and ucuamdb not knwoing which , if either of them , would flash through ODIN. So im frantically flying through the web for 3 hours searching some magic button combo or something that may help me just reach my recoveries in twrp (since the computer would not recognize even in download mode) . I look everywhere. EVERYWHERE. This point i figure i can try odin and its my last chance. Im waiting on the firware to download right now to this second as I type . Somehow God magically guided me to this page though ... because I did about 300 google searches looking for a way to get my twrp back and use my nandroids. NOTHING until now..... I run across this post and move down and come across your post. "have you tried this button combo ? " I read the next comment . "NO no combos worked." Clciked forward a few pages and found nothing. Im giving up ... its over... Either ODIN will work and flash my stock firmware or I will have no way to turn my paper weight back into a cell phone. As Im click the back button i come across THIS post YOUR actual comment. I read it and think ... I didnt try that. I tried it the way you posted. Home + volume up ... nothing happens .... I add the power button and it boots same way as before booloop. Im infuriated..... I press it again the way you posted and suddenly ..... TWRP's beautiful blue screen pops up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rostroe my cleanROM 1.0 nand and Im back up . I seriously just want to thank you for posting this little comment that you probably thought would never really help anyone at all. This truly TRULY just saved my phone . I mean you just saved my day , brother. Seriously thank you . Im so happy right now it's like I bought a brand new s4 lol. Thank you so much buddy. Real talk. :highfive:

Got it going again, now the storage doesnt seem to be working, won't scan on startup.
Hello guys , I have not had an android device for a few years so I was not really following how the stuff over here was untill I got a new Tab S2 . I was hesitant but finally decided to try and root it . Unfortunately my stupid ass forgot to make any back up what so ever and now it seems like the tab is pretty much dead . I used odin and then installed SuperSU from TWRP via zip . When the tab booted it straight said that it needs formating . Tried to wipe it and it said that it cant mount data or something of that sort . Then I found someone who suggested that changing the data format type to other type and then back to default would help with that issue , but I was not able to find out what the default format is so I just fiddled with all of the types with no success.
When I try to factory reset - nothing happens , when I try wiping everything it still has no effect . Turning it off doesnt achieve anything since it instantly restarts into recovery .
I think I have dig deep enough grave on my own so I finaly decided to ask for any advice on how to proceed .
Thank you in advance .
Edit : I was able to get into download mode with the power off function and instantly holding the combination before the recovery boot starts .
just download your official fimrware and flash it back thru odin.

Pilot error. You've made a series of errors there. I suggest you do as the previous poster suggested then start again.
Oh yeah , I am aware that I am the reason all of that happened . I tried to flash the official firmware with odin which failed and then in download mode the device said to use a program called smart switch . I downloaded it and used it to install nougat with it without any issues . The tab is all good now ( Unfortunately not rooted , but the sole reason I wanted root is to disable firmware updates which was not possible , and now with the new OS I was able to do it , so no need for root anymore ) . Thank you for the advice but I guess in the end I ****ed up so badly that the situation un****ed itself on its own .
