[Q]Bell 9000M stuck at boot screen

Bought this phone last week, recovery & download worked with 3 button.
Rooted, flashed Darky, Voodoo Lagfixed in recovery, worked great.
Tried Doc Kitchen, worked great.
Voodoo lagfix in recovery, booted once, crashed, now stuck at Galaxy S screen.
No recovery, do have download mode. Power on, Galaxy screen, reboot, galaxy screen.....
This doesn't seem to be the same symptoms as SD failure, seems the only thing left to do is try to flash via Odin...
Downloading UGJL2 from SamFirmware, concern is;
If Lagfix is enabled, most Odin guides say this is an issue? Or should I just select and flash?
Thanks.
And Samfirmware.com gave me a .rar file?
Contents:
factoryfs.rfs
cache.rfs
modem.bin
param.ifs
sbl.bin
zimage file?
I had similar problem. However, I was trying to flash to JH2 because i wanted to unlock my phone, but ended up with boot loop and no recovery mode.
I fixed this problem by trying to flash JH2 firmware and it came back to live. The first time flashed it, the phone went into recovery. However, there was a msg something about Media cant be found. So i flashed it with JH2 again with re-partition not checked and no .pit file. In addition, I used Odin 1.7 instead of 1.3. and the phone is all good now.
I think the problem might be with Odin v1.3. you can give a try but no guarantee..
OK.
Stupidity = Off
Flashed UGJL2, JH2, JG8 using Odin 1.7, Pass!
Still no recovery, still in a bootloop.
flash jpc from samfirmware with pit 512 and repartitioning checked, that worked for me,
using .tar or pda et all?
End thread.
JK4 flash for replacement status nets 3e recovery and a failed SD.
Cheers.

[Q] Please help.....forgot to disable lagfix when flashing..!!

flashed with odin back to stock rom and forgot to disable lagfix....now i'm stucked after boot logo.
can still get in download mode, tried to reflash but only get failed ......
can anybody help please......thx.
First off, we need to know what lagfix you were using. If it's voodoo, you can just go into recovery mode and disable the lagfix from CWM. Then flash the firmware again.
If it's OCLF, enter recovery and wipe/factory reset and then flash again with odin.
It's actually pretty hard to permanently screw up our phones, just remember to disable it next time.
it was voodoo.....for now i'm stucked in a black screen with three icons"phone...!...desktop".
i can't enter recovery mode but still can get into download mode....!
flash a rom which have 3 files(phone/modem/csc) and pit file and thick the repartition box in odin this should work...
thanks a lot ....it worked.....u are the best guys.......!!!!!

[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

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

[Q] Phone Won't Write Packages From Odin - Doesn't Enter Recovery

I have been trying to write firmwares from samfirmware.com onto my galaxy s, and when I write them it just flashes the boot logo, and then resets. I figured out that it isn't actually entering recovery to install the package. Is there any way to fix this? Or have I officially bricked it?
Note: I just unrooted, that's when the problems started. (stupid I know) I was running CWM Recovery, and Darky's Rom
does it enter download mode ??
if so flash a full 3 file firmware in odin with pit and repartition
EDIT: you cant flash odin files in recovery.. only in odin using download mode
Did your phone have 3BR to start with?
Yeah it enters download mode, says pass when I flash it etc, just when it reboots it doesn't write the flashed package. Do you know where I can get a 3 part package?
@geesamsungs - what do you mean...? Sorry, only very new to flashing.

[Q] Samsung GT-I9305T flashing help

Hey everyone I'm in need of assistance of flashing the above phone(not mine). I can't turn the phone on due to an update that I can assume corrupted the ROM or something of the sort. I can get into DL mode but this is what I get when turning the phone on normally- imgur.com/Jrk8nKT
I have found a stock telstra ROM for the phone but as soon as I try to flash it with Odin it says "there is no pit partition" but I am lost as to where to find a pit file.
If anyone could help or has any ideas I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks!

I've already saw many people saying to dont do nothing with pit and repartition unless its your last resource. I dont have much knowledge about it, so i would recomme d you flash a 4.1.2 rom via odin and then enter recovery mode (vol up + home button + power button) and wipe data, maybe you succed.
One question, u said you can enter in download mode, but can you actually flash something via odin? I reccomend you try to flash the galaxy project with android 4.1.2 and see what odin says. I had a problem once and odin didnt flash anything unless this rom i mentioned, but via cwm. After that i reinstalled the pc drivers and installed triangle away from chainfire, reset the counter with that and tried flash a stock rom via odin again and this time it worked
