[Q] BlackScreen *WITH* DOWNLOAD mode working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i searched for other threds before making this one but none of them had download mode working
i tried flashing jpy and jpx with odin using the 512 and the 813 pit files, my problem is that after showing the sgs screen(really effing loud) the screen goes dark and vibrates in a pattern that goes like ........1....2................1...2...........1............2 and repeats, i can accces both the download and recovery modes
Extra maybe important info:
came eclair jm4 flashed with kies then from jm7 i think with the bujp5 modem(the vodafone one) tried to flash jpy & jpx still stuck on darkscreen
in odin i only had the pit+pda checked with repartition, autoreboot and f.reset time ticked. Did i miss something?

I also tried to flash jpo, no dice.

Try to flash an other firmware (2.1)
Take it from samfirmware
They supply 3in1 packages that need to be put in only pda
Use pit 512
Repartition
If that worked, then try a 2.2(.1)

Where did you get jpy from? I got mine from samfirmware and had no dramas. Went from jm8 to jpy you could always flash a 2e recovery kernel cf root for example then install cwm so you can install custom jpy roms..i use darkys and love it

Got it working : D For any future reference flash jm8 with repartition on then jpy with repartition off...
on another note what do I do when I already have jpy working and want a clean instal of it plus different modem and kernel? (repartition on/off, do I use any pit files ?
Happy new year

can someone please tell me where to get these files from?
i've searched but keep getting the wrong pit or stock firmware..
i'm a noob and i'm confused, excuse me of my ignorance but i've tried sooo much lol
btw i have a bell I9000M which i think is my problem.. help

[Q] Galaxy s i9000 cant boot at 2.2

I dont know where to start, but my phone was fascinating before updating do darky 9.2
I tried to install Voodoo, Speedmod, Ryan,...format sd card...ect but...my phone is still nearly dying.
My phone could currently be turned on and work freezingly and unresponsively in Eclair version (and able to access to Download mode), but whenever I tried upgrade it to 2.2 or 2.21 (so many versions tried from JP2 - JPY and JXS5) my phone cant not be booted at SamSung Galaxy S I9000 screen and Recovery Mode is blocked (but not the Download Mode).
Have anyone of you experienced it before and found any solution to fix it...PLZ share, plz help.
THanks
right dont panic, download something like JM8 with PIT
flash it thru odin with re-partition and that should do the trick
then upgrade to something newer.
im at JM8 right now (same as last 2 weeks) with unresponsive screen. Try to upgrade to jpo, jpy, jp2...but all failed (cant not boot at froyo)
and did you have all the 3 files and PIT ?? if so what PIT was you using ?? and did you check re partition ??
Wipe the lot install Eclair via Odin see if it fixes your problem then upgrade .
jje
Flash Jm8 with Pit 512 repartition checked.
->>> Working but freezing...completely freezing
Flash again with JPO (1file) no pit, repartition unchecked
-->> Cant boot
Flash back again Jm8 with Pit 512 repartition checked
-> Working and more freezing
Flash JPY -> cant boot
Tried like all the stock roms with the same procedure but...just getting lost
thanks
Yet another post of this ...wow.
Same thing I am looking for help on other threads...i didnt expect others to have same issue. I have tried many things as welll ...nothing works.

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

Flash the stock JL2 firmware with Odin the use super one click to root your phone then flash a new kernel with SGS Kernal flasher from the market... then u will have clockwork recovery then wipe and flash seeArms! Its a great rom but not as fast as darkys

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!

Galaxy S I9000: Problem with Flashing

Hello. First I have to say: sorry for my bad english.
My problem is:
I try to flash the JVK for my Galaxy S.
And the problem was, that Odin freezes when it was at the point: ""factoryfs.rfs""
So I try to flash the JM8 with Pit = The Same Problem
Try to flash the JVB, with repartion and pit-file on = The same problem.
Before I have try to flash the JVK I have got "Darky´s Rom 9.1 Extreme Edition".
Now I cant go to the Recovery 2e.
Only to the Download-Mode.
Can anyone help me ?
Before I have try to flash the JVK I have got "Darky´s Rom 9.1 Extreme Edition".
Kill Darky rom flash stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked .
That fails use same but stock Eclair .
jje
did you have lagfix enabled previously ??
when you are flashing JM8 was that firmware with all 3 files ? ? and did you also check the re-partition box in odin ??
also, if you have flashed JVK -Gingerbread, although it got stuck, it may of changed your bootloader, (i dont think thats related but....)
so if none of the above work, try to flash JM1 i think this contains the bootloader back to froyo / eclair whatever....
Thanks for help.
I just flash JM8 with pit-file and now it works.

Which version of Odin. I had similar issue while using Odin 1.3 then tried different version of Odin without issue. I would try a different version of Odin & see what happens.

Stuck on main screen after root, keeps rebooting.

I have been through a mess of attempts to root my phone and put it into 2e recovery so I could install custom mods, and ended up with nothing but an old version because I had to flash it on to be able to use it.
I'll try to explain the process.. first I had 2.2 firmware with JPC, was rooted already with superuser and then I tried to flash it into 2e recovery but when it finished the phone booted up, got in the main screen where you swipe the screen to unlock but got stuck there after a couple seconds, started vibrating randomly and shut down.
After that happened I flashed an original i9000 tar on it and it came back to life, unrooted and in JP6.
The first time I tried to flash it into 2e I forgot to run odin as an admin, so I thought that was my mistake so I went ahead and tried it again with a JP6 version and ran odin as admin, but the same exact thing happened... gets stuck in the same place so I flashed the original again.
I'm on a EU Galaxy S I9000 JP6 Froyo.
Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the reply..
I don't want to make any mistakes, as im quite new to this phone and hacking/updating/putting new **** on it, so can you be a little more clear on the steps to take? I'm obviously going to upgrade to GB...
I can get into download mode fine, do I flash the 512 PIT file and the PDA_XWJVH_Sbl.tar.md5 file together? also just to make absolutely sure because I heard the partition thing can brick my phone, should it be checked for this particular flash?

You should only use the repartition option when flashing a 3 file firmware. You can get them from samfirmware.com. The JVB firmware has all 3 files so I would download it.
Once downloaded open Odin and stick the files in the required fields. Insert your .pit file and select repart.
Once you have booted in to JVB you can then flash JVH using Odin in the PDA field with NO repartition.
Once booted into JVH I would use CF Root kernal to get root access

[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
