[Q] Galaxy S won't boot with any ROM! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, today I installed MIUI beta 7 but I didn't like it, so I just uninstalled it installing another older ROM.
The problem is that I tried with:
- Wipe everything, install official JPY_JPY_JPY via odin (no lagfix)
- Wipe everything, install RomKitchen's XWJS8 via CWM (hadcore kernel)
- Wipe everything, install RomKitchen's ZSJPJ via CWM (voodoo lagfix)
And none of these works. When shows the white "S" boot animation it just freezes and vibrates.
What can I do for recover my Galaxy S?

repartition
try to reflash a full firmware (with everything - kernel, csc, modem, pda). Check the repartition option in odin and select a pit file (any of them will do)

Will try to flash a full official JPU firmware. After that, I'll see if I can install JPY and finally a Romkitchen's ROM.
Thx!

Yes, but I won't wait for RomKitchen to activate the new gingerbread rom in their kitchen. I'll just flash JS8 (I don't know if there is too much difference between JS8 and ZSJPJ... is there?) and no more.
EDIT: THREAD ENDED
Thanks to B-1P, my phone finally booted after installing a final JPU firmware.

How to flash galaxy s orginal firmware?

Hello everyone.
I'm kinda new to this forum so hello everyone. Ok.. yesterday i flash my galaxy s with Darky's Resurrection Edition v9.2 through odin. everything goes well, no worries.
But.. i wnt to know how can i go back to my original firmware which is 2.2 froyo. i download my orginal firmware file and i knw how to flash..
bt i have some questions..
1. do i need to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition like before install darky's rom?
2. Do i need to tick re-partition button coz i have only one file?
hope someone help me
Thanks.
It is a good idea to clean your data partition, so you get a clean fresh install. What may happen if you don't do it is that you will keep any settings and apps from Darky's ROM, which can probably fail with the stock ROM.
Repartition is not always necessary. You should check if the previous pit file is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash. Most ROMS uses 512.pit, so If you've flashed Darky's with 512.pit and the new ROM also requires 512.pit, then no need to repartition.
Problems after bad flash custom rom etc I always flash stock Eclair pit 512 and repartition checked then flash stock Froyo or update via Kies .
Stock is not your original firmware its the firmware provided by Samsung to the network phone provider before they customize it or not .
But if you followed instructions and saved your original firmware you just flash that back .

Thanks a lot guys..

[Q] Rom problem

Hi all,
I don't know if this is the right place where to ask for.
I searched through the forum but, maybe for my poor english, I didn't find anything.
I've unbricked my SGS with the Darky's resurrection version. After doing this, i noticed that apps installed from Market disappeared at every reboot.
Trying to resolve this issue, I did a re-install of the resurrection.zip.
Now, I can't install anything. The only result is crash of the system.
My question is: how can I take the phone to a full clean state, in order to do a full clean rom install?
Thanks in advance.
download mode still works yea ??
flash stock eclair 2.2 in all 3 files (phone, modem, csc) and add 512 pit, tick re-partition and that should sort you out

Yes, download mode is still operating. The whole system is full operating, except for apk installation (....) .
So you suggest to revert to a stock Froyo (2.2), then use the standard procedure for rom flashing?
Doesn't this compromise my 2e recovery?
its the safest way, you can always re flash kernel to get CWM recovery back.
guaranteed to fix you up

[Q] Stock Gingerbread flashing problem

Hello and sorry bad english!
I have a problem that I can't flash back a stock Gingerbread rom with Heimdall. I'm now using CM7 and I would like to test new Overcome.
I followed closely Overcomes's guide when trying to install GB_Stock_safe_v3. I put mr.pit (with 'repartition device'), factoryfs, zimage, modem etc. to the right place and started installation. Everything went well and without any errors. Tab starts booting well, goes over the Samsung logo, but stops when the "android" logo appears on the screen. I waited for half an hour but it didn't make progress any further.
I tried also Chainfire stock 2.3.3 rom as the same results, it won't boot.
I flashed CM7 back with Heimdall and all went well and Tab booted OK. CM7 is now the only rom that boots on my Tab. Before installing CM7 I had stock 2.3.3 in, but after CM7 they have not worked anymore.
Is there problem with CM7 ext4 conversion or what?
Thanks.
Edit: pretty interesting that after CM7 flashing all my settings, themes, programs, etc. returning back to the same state as before. So flashing the stock 2.3.3 did not delete/wipe any data even though I put mark and correct filepath to repartion device/ mr.pit, pda, zimage, param, boot, sbl, cache, dbd and modem boxes.
try it using odin 1.7 it should have also came in the stock safe.
After Chainfire's stock 2.3.3 you should flash dbdata.tar. That solves the stock on samsung logo problem,usually I should add.....

When flashing Heimdall there must be all the files in use if "repatition device" is enabled. Chainfire does not have a dbdata file in his .tar package. What dbdata I should use?

Ok, I think that this is the only way. Too bad I do not have Windows on my computer Maybe I need to borrow Win laptop.
With Froyo Heimdall worked always fine.

So I flashed that "attached dbdata file" on the 1. post as dbdata (repartion enabled) and after successful flashing I flashed that same dbdata file as PDA (no repartition). That's how I understand these instructions:
- "- Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition)"
Well, no booting after that. Boot stops when the first "galaxyTab" logo appears. Earlier the boot went further.
I give up now. I think I have to use Odin. Luckily the CM7 still works fine . I stick to it.
thanks anyway

Badly stuck in bootloop

Okay,
So i have searched, I was on 2.3.3 custom rom, and then i went on to flash Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC1, i flashed the kernel first and then from then on i cant go past flash screen. I tried flashing official firmware from here "I9000DXJV9_OLBJV9_DXJV9" but it wont go past flash screen. any help??? Can somebody link me to full official rom with bootloader and everything.??
register at sammobiles.com and find your firmware there, then flash it through ODIN. Then flash your KERNEL then any custom rom. If you find bootloop, you will need to flash a voodoo kernel this gives you other options in CWM to enable you to disable ALL lags. Then you should be fine. You can reflash any other kernel once your all done.

Ok i will try find out a vooddoo kernel, but if you please can link me to it, it will be very easier
Ok i flashed the voodoo kernel and from CWM i disabled the lagfix. And then again i i got the same error, "failed to mount /dbdata" after flashing through odin. And again back to bootloop.
What do i do.
Thankfully i can get into recovery menu. And i tried restoring nand backup but i got an error flashing boot image.
What's the next step
Try this. Remove BOTH external sd card and sim card. Boot to recovery, goto mounts/storage and format sdcard, back to recovery head menu, factory reset/wipe, format cache/format dalvik cache then remove battery, boot to doenload and flash rom agin with odin
Oh, and dont forget to disable ALL lagfixes BEFORE odin flash.
i had the same problem yesterday, what i did is i flashed through odin some 2.2 froyo (3 files) with repartition and the problem was solved; the rom was pre rooted JP3 ; hope it helps you

[Q] Get SGS back to Factory Defaults

Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.
I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.
Hi.
I did this now...............
Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM

Is this kit for Galaxy S i9000? Can you please confirm, my stock kit is the first 2.3.6 and I would like to use something newer (like JW5 is). Or is there a newer latest I9000 ROM from Samsung?

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware
