[Q] Bricked Phone with DL Mode. Help?

Hello all.
I was trying to get recovery mode 2e on my galaxy s.
I used the method described by angiogram in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14323608 which involved replacing a recovery file in the system/bin folder and adding some files in the system/xbin folder using root explorer.
Turned the phone off. Tried recovery mode but got stuck on galaxy s GT-I9000 screen. Held down the power button then phone started normally. Then (silly of me) tried to reboot in recovery mode from ROM Manager this left stuck on the same screen except phone wont start up normally anymore still gets stuck.
Download mode does work though.
How do I fix this? I dont care what I'm left, any ROM, any Kernal.

Try the ezbase3 rom, froyo or gb

I was thinking of getting Darkys new rom, if i just flash with odin it should work right?
Im not familiar with darkys I'm afraid, so can't help you

Don't worry. I flashed this Flash Ficeto_JVH_Odin ROM as per the start of darkys instructions for the new ROM worked like a charm
i flashed darky's yesterday, so far its pretty good
battery life is amazing ( more than i expected )
so you should give it a try
you will still need recovery 2e for the ROM itself
good luck

[Q] I think I'm half bricked.. Help

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.
What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

[Q][HELP!!!]How can I bring my phone back to life if it only accesses download mode?

There's a problem that I've came on while downgrading to stock 2.3.3 from MIUI 1.11.11 2.3.7 with CWM. I've wiped partillion chache and dalvik chache, installed rom XWJVH (it went correctly) rebooted, it stuck on booting screen. Restarted into download mode tried to install another kernel (cf-root 3.2 because it worked in past) and got fail in Odin.
Is my phone fully bricked? 'Cuz I can't get into CWM anymore.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!
If u can get into download mode, you will be fine. Just flash a full stock rom with odin.
If u still have no joy, flash eclair jm9 (from samfirmware.com), it will resurrect most fxxk ups.

Ok, let's try but on other combinations Odin said connecting after starting a process (tried 1.3, 1.7, 1.8 versions to flash 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, none worked) but whar if it will not work? What next, because on recovery it gives "black screen of death" as said in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
But at least download mode works.
P.S. I get modem and code files in jm9 download, which to put in pda? csc?
Is odin detecting your phone, yellow light?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
yes it detected.
AND YES its going now, I've put pit file in and it is working now!!!!!!!
PASSED in odin, booting up........ boot logo......... please boot up!
something wrong, boot logo loop.
flashed cf-root 4.3 and I hope for the best.
P.S. nooooooooo, boot loop again
P.P.S. thank you anyway, at least boot loop is easier to work on.
Have you tried jm9 yet?

I am a little bit confused, and you too...
To bring back to life your phone you have flashed jm9, eclaire....ok.
But why have you flashed a CF-root 4.3?
It's for JVS gingerbread rom.
Edit: If your 3 keys combo still works, try to flash a stock 2.3.x
If the problems happen while using MIUI, better you select eclair rom first. Then you can upgrade to GB that have bootloader.
From MIUI directly to gingerbread will have fuzzy screen problem.

[HELP] My Phone Boot Loops!

There might be an answer somewhere in the forum, but i have no time searching (i would if i could) So please be nice and dont yell at me =[
So....
I used to have CF-Root Kernel installed with a xwjs8 rom installed.
Probably shouldnt have done it, but i upgraded my kernel to Semaphore 2.5bm using odin.
after that my phone didnt boot.... Decided to use odin again and flash semaphore jvt 1.8 and installing a jvt rom. Everything worked...
But i had no recovery mode... tried flashing CWM... It just didnt work.
After surrendering i just flashed the old kernel that worked, and now, my phone just refuses to boot, or go into recovery =[
I can still get in download mode...
Is there a way to just go back to a stocky begining...? just so ill know my phone isnt bricked for life.
Thanks in advance.

Either use sammobile.com to download the latest stock firmware for your phone and flash using odin or use the following link to get a rooted 2.3.6 GB rom with CWM recovery
