Hey Guys,
I hope this is not a complete repost
I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.
Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.
So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.
Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.
My question to you is:
What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.
I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.
Please please help me.
Thanks you for your time.

The question is, where did you get your stock ROM from, what files did you use? cause I have no clue what files to use just to get the phone going again.
Thanks thou
I just went to the xda website and found the stock rom forum and then I just picked one and flashed it with odin

Zup,
I rooted a while ago, and since i'm running Ubuntu i haven't managed to get CWM yet, so i noticed that i can use Odin Mobile Pro to do it so i installed it and downloaded the correct kernel. I opened OMP and browsed to find the kernel on the internal memory but i can't choose it (it's a .RAR-file), so i extract it to see what's hidden inside. According to Odin i can flash "zImage" so i do it. Big big mistake.
The phone won't boot now, and the only thing i get is the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
What to do?
Thanks in advance
I can enter Download mode, and that's it. Some help here please?
Use pc odin and flash a stock rom. You must be in download mode

Thanks.
Where can i find a stock ROM? And do i need ADB installed or is it OK with the drivers from Kies? I'm asking since i'm using Ubuntu so i'll have to use my brothers PC, so i can't install a freaking SDK.
Got a stock ROM now, downloaded the ADB files and Odin, so i'll see if that works..
You should just try to read a little more
Kies drivers should be fine. Go to the development forum and you will find stock roms thread.

Awesome. Downloading XXLA4 now, but it takes forever... 100KB/sek.. Horrible servers.. FML
Still downloading the ROM.. WHY in the sweet hell haven't anybody made a torrent or uploaded it to another place? 2 hours to download 550MB on a 20 Mbps connection is tragic..
Update: OK, i'm up and running again! Odin worked like a dream without any problems Thank you so much Indie!
(I don't have any "Thanks" left today, so i can't thank you again)

you said downloading LA4.
Just make clear, LA4 wont Root directly, n looking to sequence, you are going to flash it with PC Odin. If i m correct
Just Downgrade to old version, get it Rooted, then update to LA4

i had the exact same thing after flashing LA4 and had to use odin to flash an older rom to get it booting to then get root access and restore a backup

Yeah, i noticed this when i had downloaded 300MB of LA4, so i didn't bother to stop it and select a rootable ROM I just wanted to get my Note working again. But i'm already missing root like crazy, so i think i'm gonna downgrade and root it again very soon.
Edit: Wait a minute.. I was rooted, i messed the phone up, flashed LA4, booted up the phone, nothing got wiped but i lost root.
ya it is nonwipe version so even with PC Odin, you won't lose anything BUT just ROOT
Aha!
But if i choose to flash another ROM with PC Odin, will i get the triangle at boot? Do i only get the triangle when i flash unofficial ROMs like CM9?
I'm a little unclear on these parts.

No it won't give you triangle if you flash any stock ROM. It gives only when you flash custom(yes like rocket/CM9)

I have the same problem right now. I'm trying to recover this problem
Hi, I own a Samsung Galaxy S i9000M from Bell. It is unlocked. Two days ago I was just using it (software: gingerbread) and it crashed. I tried restarting it and it just looped the startup. I removed the battery several times and it just wouldn't staert up.
So today, I tried to restore it with Odin, I think that I might've used the wrong PDA and actually messed it up more. Now it doesnt even loop it just stays black or these green and red dots come. However, I can still enter download mode.
How can I fix this? What are the correct files for my phone?
All replies are greatly appreciated!!
Try reflashing to last working ROM
How do I do that? I don't know to original firmware :S

Downloading it right now, thanks for the tip.
Does anyone have any idea why my phone broke in the first place?
Where can I find Pit 512? Thanks for the help so far btw
OK, I found all the files and extracted them but they're all 0 bytes? What do I do now?
Don't know why they are 0 bytes but those are the files you need. Not sure where you live in Canada but I'm in Victoria if that helps you at all I can flash it for you.

Downloaded the newest version of WinRar and they extracted properly . Flashing my phone as I type this message. Fingers crossed :x
Flashed it to the files you said. It is back to original broken state. The startup loops. Atleast I fixed my mistakes from yesterday, going to get it checked out by a phone tech.
Error codes were:
Cache wipe failed
Data exsist but some failed (cant remember this one good)
I recorded what the failure codes were if you need the specific ones. Further help will be greatly appreciated.
It shouldn't be on a bootloop if you flashed it correctly...
Only times I had bootloops I just reflashed 2.3.6 XXJVZ via Odin which always worked even when I thought I screwed it up completely. As long as you can enter the download mode, when you have the right files to flash you should be able to fix it.
The boot loop originally happened randomly when I was on stock firmware. Could this mean that a piece of hardware is broken?

I've never had to use this myself but I've heard of it getting guys phones working. Flash it in odin as directed. Then once working re flash the kg3 firmware. Gl

never broke the phone before, but you could try to reflash back to other official ROMs, my friend tells me that it works
I soft bricked my Captivate flashing Mosiac over MIUI , finally managed to get it into download mode and ran Odin One Click 2.3.5 but it freezes at setup connection. I've done this multiple times with the same result....Any ideas???
Captivate connection issues help
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Thanks b-eock but maybe you misunderstood my post. I'm in download mode and Odin recognizes my connection it just freezes at setup connection.
You may want to give a Heimdall-based option a try. Sometimes when Odin won't work, Heimdall will. Just remember to use the phone on the same port where you install the Heimdall drivers.
No I understood completely, that has everything you need...
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Well, beock is most likely right with the connection issue. Sound like a bad cable.
Second, flashing from an aosp type ROM (which MIUI is), i would not recommend trying to flash bootloaders. It well usually cause a loop, as you found out. Your on the right track. Flash to stock, then any different Samsung ROM you wish.
Thanks b-eock and everyone else who tried to help. I pulled the battery and got the firmware upgrade failed screen and ran Odin from there. Gotta love the Captivate....just cant kill it.lol
OK, Stupid me for even trying to load roms on my note. I managed to finally root my note, used clock works rom manager to download a rom, tried to install it now my phone wont boot up. It just vibrates once says samsung and just loops. Like its restarting everytime. I can still boot into recovery with clock works recovery and enter download mode, I think I just need the stock rom and flash it through oden but I dont know where to get it. Please Help!!!
....
tried recovery through CWM, system recovered but still, phone will not boot. Just keeps restarting then samsung logo then reboots again and again.....ganna try advanced restor...
ok....
ok, restored boot, now restoring system, ganna go down the line and advanced restore everything I made a back up of before my little problem...will post results
Success! IM glad I backed up my entire phone before I started screwing around with roms! I guess I did not need you guys help after all. X) Oh what a little google research can do! Thanks anyway.

Glad you could resolve this by you're self.I had something similar happen to me while trying to flash Blackstars ROM. Turned out to be a bad download of his ROM and I got stuck in boot loops zone lol. All I did was download the stock odex ROM from the Dev section and all went back to normal.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.
