[Q] Phone doesn't boot anymore - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My phone doesn't boot anymore, i also cant access the recovery or the download menu. The last thing I did was to install the JP1 stock ROM so I could flash to the MIUI ROM. When I press the power button you see the start screen with Samsung Galaxy S GT9000I blabla. Then u see the stock bootanimation, and it just stays there. Now and then it vibrates and after a while it's just a black screen. Now I can still charge my phone. Does anyone knows what to do with this problem?
Do I need one of them Jig thiny things?
Thanks.
Bye

If you can't access to download mode, use adb to go there
Search for tutorial.
Don't worry, I had same problem as you..

Ok I downloaded and installed it. I used a tut ( i cant post links yet ) but it says that I go into my device and change some settings. But my phone doesn't boot. So how to do that?

Can anyone help me please? I'm really stuck at this problem.

Same problem here! I also wanted to install MIUI and flashed JP1 before. Now I neither can't boot the phone nor go into download mode.
Please help!

This might help!

What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, in between the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode (two person required for this operation)
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh stock firmware!
Hope this helps you to recover your phone, let us know if you are able to recover or not.

I managed to get into download mode and tried flashing a stock rom with odin. When it passed it rebooted and then my old problem kicked in.
Screen hanging at the S logo and 3 combo key doesn't works anymore.

Just remove the battery, wait 1 minute, then put it back. Start download mode again. If it fails, take out the battery and try again. It should work. Then reflash with ODIN. Did u enable Repartition when your phone crashed? Then try to flash *without* Repartition. I had a similar situation before and this is how I solved it. Hope it helps.
You should have checked the 3 buttons combo before flashing...

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc
UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.
I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.

[Q] N7000 dead... please help me find a solution

Hello!
I have a problem, and don't know how to solve it... I am using JB Alliance ROM, and everything worked great, until I uninstalled iGO. Actually the uninstallation was successful, but right after that, I went to My Files, and I deleted the iGO folder and my phone froze. I kept the power button pressed to make a simple reset, and after that it went to a boot loop. I tried to go into recovery mode holding vol up + menu + power buttons, and from that point on I have only black screen, even when I tried to charge it. At that point, my battery was about 80%, but I guess this doesn't matter.
I read something about these problems, but I am not sure which is actually my device's problem.
Can anyone help me to solve this? I have a JIG, but I used it only to get rid of the yellow triangle a few months ago...
Thanks a lot!
Rasvan
Try going to download mod and flash stock GB or ICS rom using PC Odin
Thanks for the reply! I tried also this, but the phone still looks dead... I mean I can't go into Download mode even after I pulled the battery out for a few seconds.
Use jig and go to download mod.
btw dr. ketan is an expert .. pls pm him and ask help..

no... not even with the JIG. I guess the only option is to take it to a samsung service.

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

This might get you back your recovery. Flash this cwm.tar.md5 using odin. select the PDA option and select the .tar.md5 file you got now. Check if it restores your recovery and let me know.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

You can but should have odin flashable files. Well if you find any then you can try it. But trying the ones you got already might work as you got the logo now.

Bootloop after root

SM-T815
I have try to root with odin and cf autoroot and all work fine, then I have installed twrp for 815 5.0.2 version. After the installation the tablet restart on recovery mode, I try to make a backup and twrp works good but at the restart the tablet is in bootloop.
I can’t shut down. I can only access download mode and not recovery mode.
I have flashed the original firmware with odin and odin says PASS but at the restart it is bootloop again. I try to flash twrp again and odin says PASS, after this I can read on the start screen (the only one I can see) “recovery is not nandroid enforced”. I tried different firmware but nothing work.
Someone can help me?
Grazie 1000
Boot into recovery POWER +HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Wipe data. If that doesn't work then factory reset.
Thanks for the answer. I try more than 100 time but it don't go in recovery mode. I tried to complete discharging and then recharging with the buttons pushed. Nothing. Every time it's stuck in the start screen and i can't shut down.

Hi All!
I would like to share with you how I fix the preblem after root of my T815.
After long night and reading whole net I found the solution.
As you I also wants to root my device because of availible only one user. I wanted to have multiusers. So folowing the instructions downloading all software and after root I got bootloop. Trying everithing but no success. I wasn't able to flash even some of the stock ROMs.
Solution:
I found in Sammobile what is my current ROM and downloaded it. Then flash - no any problems. Went smooth. Then I root the device... and now I have rooted device with multiuser support.
It seems that after fresh flash everithing is OK. It seems that after you playing with your device for a while you enabled some options thats make your device to loop after root.
I wish you Happy New Year!
Nikog
Whoops sorry, I completely forgot to come back to you about this!
Glad you got it sorted.
