[q]Cannot flash to Froyo - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
I'm now stuck at 2.1
I've tried using odin or CWM, but I could NOT get my phone to Froyo.
Flashed using odin or CWM successfully, without any error. But couldn't boot, just stuck at Galaxy S screen.
Flashing back to 2.1 is no problem

How long did you wait on the Galaxy S boot animation?
It will take longer to boot because your phone is rebuilding the dalvic cache..

There wasn't any boot animation. Just a Galaxy S i9000 screen alone.
I left it for more than 5 mins. Still with cold and cheerless screen, nothing changed.

Does it look like this?

I remember waiting for around 15mins after flashing I also thought my SGS is stuck..

I expected to see this screen so much. But what I got was not even close.

which froyo rom are you trying to flash and are you using the international I9000 SGS?
You might have missed some procedures...

Yes, It an international i9000 8GB
I've been flashing my Samsung Vibrant T959 using odin or CWM like thousand times but never seen anything like this.
I have tried JS5, JS7, JP1, JP3 (european)... and some Asian version, but there was no luck
I initially thought there was a problem with odin. But then I flashed back to 2.1 JFD, JM8 , JM9... smoothly. Then got my SGS rooted, CWM flashed, then tried some CWM Froyo and Gingerbread ROM, but all failed to boot .

I almost give up. Is there anybody have any idea?

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Problem

I am trying to get the latest version of Cognition onto the wife's phone, but it's not exactly cooperating. I used Odin and wiped everything back to stock, but now I can't get Clockwork Recovery to work with me. When I try rebooting into recovery, I'm met with this:

That was after trying the reinstall package option. Any idea what I'd doing wrong? I'm so used to everything being easy with my Nexus 1 and G2!
select reinstall packages again...you have to do it twice the first time.
Keeps failing. That normal?

If my goal is to maintain root and install another rom, the first link is my best bet, right?
Sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the screenshot in your op.
Either method pirate linked will get you to the point where you can flash a new rom.
Allrighty, followed the directions in the first link, and now I get this:
I seem to have sorted everything out. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

SGS problem .

My SGS has developed a fault 2 days ago I switched the phone off & the next thing I know is I get what looks like a battery laid on its side on the main screen, it appears for 15 seconds then dissapears for 15 seconds & repeats. I can find no way to turn the phone back on while it is like this & have resorted to reloading 2.3 Gingerbread but if once reloaded I then switch the phone off then the problem comes back.
Has anybody come across this problem before & knows how to cure it or is my phone knackered ?
I tried to add a picture of the symbol on the screen & I do not have enough posts to be allowed to.
Have you tried charging it? Silly question but you would be surprised.......

No question is silly, but yes I have charged it
Have you tried flashing a "stock Rom" yet?...
Hopefully this will mean more to you than it does to me !
Is this a "stock rom" :-
firmware 2.3.3
Baseband version I9000XXJVK
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 [email protected]#2
Gingerbread.XXJVK
If it is not a stock rom were can I find one ?
Thanks
Colin

Many thanks, just installed jvq but still have same fault
I would try an ezbase flash, search in dev for ezbase and follow instructions to the letter, this should get you up and running on a basic rooted deodexed rom, from there you can try a reflash of whatever you want

[Q] Ice cream sandwich vibrant port working on captivate

I downloaded the ICS 4.0 Rom that was ported to the i9000. I first had Gingerbread 2.3.5 installed on my cappy. Then I installed the speedmod kernal via odin, and booted into cwm recovery.

}
I was able to install the rom, it booted up fine. screen orientation doesn't work well. the back and search buttons do not work, but the home button serves as a back button. camera does not work, wifi works after you first manually enter the ap info. internal speaker doesnt work during phone call, but the external speaker does. It says that it is running on an i9000, but this is a screenshot from my captivate
If anyone would like to try this out, the thread ishere.
i wasn't sure where to post this, as i am a newbie..
so i do apologize.
But my question is.. why did my captivate boot into ics if the rom is for the i9000?
i9000 and captivate roms are interchangeable just need a captivate i9000 re-oriented kernel.
go find the captivate development section and READ.
Hey ,
I just tried the i9000 port version on My Captivate but it would get stuck in FuguMod Boot Screen
Any Ideas? I started from 2.3.5 though on MIUI.
you mean you were on miui now trying to get on to 2.3.5 ??if thats the case whenever coming off of miui or CM7 you MUST flash back to stock with a "one click odin" or regular odin INCLUDING a pit file. to re-partition the device.
miui and cm7 use a different partitioning table.

Background:
Captivate was running SlimICS 4.1. I had trouble connecting to the PC and ramdom widgets crashing. Decide to give Milestone 6 a try while I wait for JB. I flashed Glitch 20120520.1522 before I flashed M6 (to avoid Status 7 error), then realized that kernel had TWRP, Rom installation freezes. Restarted, stuck on Glitch splash screen.
Troubleshooting so far:
Odinf Oneclick and Odin 3 both show yellow in fort box.Tried flashing Speedmod kernel, so I could flash custom ROM. OidnOneClick or Odin3 do not get beyond SetupConnection. Heimdall on Ubuntu also rcognizes the phone, but does not get beyong loading kernel. Now phone is in Phone /!\PC screen, but the problems persist. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers, from all different choices (Samsung, KIES, AIO Toolkit. Nothing seems to work.
I have been up for almost 26 hours. I hope someone finds a solution and shares it with me. I am sure I'm missing something,due to my lack of sleep.
Please help me.
Edit: Looking over my post, I can tell it's difficult to even tell that my problem is. I apologize, I was falling asleep at the keyboard last night. I took a screen shot of my problem with Odin.
Odin does not go beyond SetupConnection and just hangs there indefinately. Has anyone had this problem before? How did you solve it?
See the Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help Stickied Thread in the General Forum.

I have solved the problem. I uninstalled all drivers, ran CCCleaner, and used Ubuntu to flash Official KB2 by AdamOutler. I guess that I was so tired last night and desperate (I was falling asleep at my desk while trying to restore the phone) that I was not going through all the motions. Anyway, thanks a lot for the help 4-2ndtwin. Haven't seen much from you since the Illuminance days. Hope everything is well!
Yep...Still around...try to lend a helping hand when i can...
Glad u got it going !

SGS slow booting and all crashing

Hi,
I have problem with SGS. When I got it from my friend there was Android 2.3.3. When i turn on the phone, booting took maybe 30minutes, then all apps started to crash. So I did wipe data and wipe cache in system recovery but it didnt solve the problem. Then I flash over Odin official firmware but still booting takes about 30minutes and all apps are crashing. I tried to flash three files rom via odin too but it didnt help. So please help, i really dont know what to do now, i tried everything
Phone is non-rooted, there is official 2.3.6 but all is crashing so it is unusable.
Thanks and sorry for my english

yes you can, use odin and the download menu of the phone (turn it of, then turn it on and press volume down + home + power buttom for a few sec)
there are a few guids in this forum how to do that, just search for it
