[Q] HELP: Froyo screwed my galaxy S!

Guys,
Just updated to froyo 2.2 but i didn't remove the lag fix before hand...
now my galaxy S is just stuck on the S loading screen and never loads.
For some reason ive never been able to enter recovery using the volume+home+power button, the only way was through command prompt SDK
Now my obviously problem is, i can't boot the phone so can't reboot into recovery that way.
HELP!

goto samfirmware and download your original firmware with bootloader.
Flash via odin and it should boot you straight into recovery.

Or check out the post I just commented on in this same section.
Cheers,
BS...

Hi - can't see the bootloader on that site :S

they should all come with a bootloader, just download your original firmware.
download odin v1.3, beside the firmware you are downloading should be a PIT number.
Goto the bottom of the page and download that pit number.
Open Odin, and set your pit and pda.
Then set your phone to download mode,
connect, flash, and you should boot directly into recovery

I can't enter download mode. neither 3 button mode works, never has done, can't use up or down for recovery or download.
The only way i've ever been able to get into a recovery console was through ADB.exe which requires the phone to be booted lol.

hmm... lol I dont know man. you might need to return your phone :-(

Reboot with the up button on the left, the right one, and the home one.
and then full factory reset, and cache clean.
then reboot and wait

Exact same problem here ... not luck through ADB or FASTBOOT. Stuck!

I have the same issue. Please help.

Same here...I cant get into recovery mode with the 3-button solution

I killed my SGS by installing the new JP6 without removing the OCLF first! I've had no three button recovery option for yonks. After much faffing, I managed to sort it.
Here comes the science bit:
Download JG5 from here. Use the ROMraid link in the Requirements section
Use Odin with the pit, PDA, MODEM and CSC files, not forgetting to tick repartition
This will get you back to 2.1, without a lagfix. Now install the newly released Froyo and enjoy.
Cheers,
BS...

It's an utter nightmare not being able to get into recovery/download. think i'm gonna have to send it off

thx in advance.

My phone was bricked 1 month ago (no download mode, stuck immediately on power on), I didn't send it back to Samsung but I used Riff JTag to repair it and now it's running perfectly.

Just try the ROMraid link under Requirements....
It does have a stupid captcha question but it eventually worked for me..
I can't post the link as it only seems to work when you click it from that webpage.

Damn! I'm clicking that link, witch directs me to "coblitz codeen org www romraid com paul galaxys JG5.zip"
i've tried just "www romraid com paul galaxys JG5.zip" and it redirects me to modaco dot com
What do i have to do to download it?????????

Hi, i finally completed the download, had to change some DNS and routes using some proxies
So, I'm really new to android, and i've got a few questions
1) how am i supposed to flash my Galaxy S if i can't turn it on to make my pc recognize it?
2) Brownstone mentioned PDA, CSC and MODEM files. In JG5.zip I have: CODE, CSC and MODEM files. And Odin asks me PDA, PHONE and CSC.
So how will I fill in Odin's fields?
PDA = CODE_I9000XWJG5.tar
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJG1.tar
CSC = CSC_I9000XXJG4.tar
??
is that correct?

[Q] [Need Help!!]Captivate bricked!!

I have read the similar threads, none is like mine...
I can enter the download mode, but when I use final one click to restore, it doesn't work. When I tried to enter the recovery mode (hold two volume buttons and power button), there is a figure, which is the cellphone connected with the computer, and there is a yellow triangle exclamation mark.
Help me! I really don't know what to do now...

3 button hold, when screen goes black, plug in usb and let go buttons. You will get download mode, now odin back to stock and flash new rom.

I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3. But the system seemed unstable. So I decided to downgraded it to 2.1, by using the "one click odin", but it has been unrooted. I tried everything but couldn't root the system, thus I decided to directly flash the kernel. When it freezed, I unpluged the USB and then it happened.
Do I still have the change to save it?

I am sorry I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say. As long as you can get into dl mode you can be saved. I recovered from that screen twice on monday. What happens when you run odin one click? Have you successfully used it before

Michael, check the build number of your phone (look at the sticker that lives under the phone's battery). If it's anything past 1010 (and in some cases, 1008), ODIN 1-Click will not work. You'll need to find and download ODIN3 and the proper .PDA and .PIT files.
You will, however, still need ODIN 1-click to do a Master Clear of the phone, so don't get rid of it.

So it is not the one click. Do you have the correct pit and pda.files. Did you check repartition?

Hi Kevalin, if I was doing right, the number under "S/N" is 1008, does that mean I can use odin 1-click? Why did nothing happen... I always met weired things, I guess this is one more...

Well... I use this "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" to downgrade it, is this the odin one click?
After the captivate was unrooted, I could do nothing to root it again. Although after reinstall packages, I saw the "superxxxx"(sorry forgot the name), I still couldn't install apps from third-party.
I followed the video in this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150" completely to flash my cell, I didn't understand why he told to replace a .tar with a .zip, so I was totally lost, but it worked.

galaxy tab sgh-t849 I need professional help

I just got this tab and like every other android i get I rooted it. I used superoneclick -- worked fine. then downloaded cwm and flashed the recovery. of course when i went into recovery it was 3e so i couldnt actually use cwr without the bypass fix. Anyway -- i used some recovery fix -- which i think was for a vibrant -- wasn't thinking. Once it rebooted into recovery it showed some yellow letters then went blank. The computer still recognizes it but the tab won't boot. i can reset it by turning it off and on but it only shows tmobile splash and the yellow letters scrolling in recovery then goes blank again. please help. i've been reading everything but no one seems to have had this problem.
thank you very much

Put it in a blender, jk, send it back to samsung.

is that really my best option??
i figured there would be some manual way to reflash the recovery or maybe complete firmware with a recovery built in. it will still go into download mode -- like i said the computer still recognizes it but I just don't know where to start. ive never used odin and not a pro at adb/sdk but i can usually follow directions pretty well. i've rooted g1's, mytouch 3g fenders slides, inspires, atrix, vibrant, captivates so i'm not giving up yet. i know someone is willing to help.

from the off position, when you press and hold volume down then a moment later without letting up from volume down also hold power button until lights turn on, what does it do?

download all below zips, and unzip them
run it usb driver. say yes to everything. plug in tab to computer in download mode. let it install tab drivers
unplug tab.
open odin
Watch the first box on the left. ID:COM
plug in tab to comp in download mode.
That box should light up yellow, that means your tab in connected and ready to go.
place unzipped stock rom in PDA.
Press Start.
When done it should say all threads completed, and your tab should restart on its own.
Let it boot, and welcome back to stock Tmobile
uploads are taking a bit, be patient.
Do you want stock 2.2, or 2.3?

yes -- it goes into download mode
sounds promising -- thank you -- i will keep you updated on the progress.
prefer 2.2 where it was.
thanks so much

REMOVED!!!!!
here is dropbox of everything you need. It is a stock firmware, no root.

beautiful --- just flashed with odin and went through with no problems. once back up i re-ran the root and unlock. now i'm gonna wait to flash cwr until i'm good and sure i know what i'm doing. btw -- i flashed a new kernel with recovery before the full restore and that didn't help. i'm not positive but i guess thats how you get clockwork rec to work.?
thanks so much.

can someone help me with the same issue. I am getting no boot on this tablet. I have tried the volume button and power with no luck. Can someone send me a link for the stock sprint restore.

Which did you go with? 2.2 or 2.3.3?
Let me know what your tab currently says in settings, about device.
Hold down the back arrow, and while still holding a second later, press you powerbutton. Let go.
Shoulda taken a screen shot. Uoload it here or just write it down.
I can guide you from there.

Well first you are going to have to achieve either recovery or download mode.
Recovery: hold volume up + home and the hold power until the first screen pops up. Keep holding for about half a second. Which longer than instant lol
Download: same as above but volume down.
If you get to recovery try a wiping cache and dalvik. Then try boot up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wipe/factory reset from recovery.
If that doesn't work then either download a stock firmware by Ramad on the general forum or go sammobile.com or type in darky in Google and go to his website and navigate to full releases. From there click on the latest for your phone sgs i9000. Scroll down to instructions and look for the link for 10.2 re or something similar. Its the Odin flashable rom. Alternatively just look for a from you like and flash it. If you have recovery you may be able to use CWM flash able zips otherwise you will need Odin flash able files from the places above.
Darky rom will retain root and is a custom from so it'll be easier to move to another custom from if you flash that.
That cover everything

I dont know which stock firmware to go for a while ago i had same problem as im having now and could not get a decent download for stock firmware any pointers in the right direction ??

can you get a Jig from a friend?
it can get you into download mod without button combination..

Yes you can use a jig that would be easiest and best for the future in-case you run into this again...
However i don't understand why download or recovery is not working if you are already on custom, you have achieved it before right? If not use a video to help.
However if the standard methods do not work then there are sill some tricks..
1. Take out the battery>>>Hold the button combo>>>Insert battery whilst holding combo>>>When the boot screen appears (Samsung GT-I9000) hold for about half a second/whole second then release>>>Wait. If it continues to boot loop again then take out battery
2. From task manager close all Kies apps/processes>>>Put your usb cable in>>>plug in your phone>>>hold the combo>>>Wait.
3.Take out battery>>>Do all of 2>>>When the USB is connected to phone whilst holding the combo insert battery>>>Wait.
4. Repeat 3 with charger instead of the USB cable
If none of that works then yes i think you will need to make or buy the jig. (Or borrow if you can). But also do a search as im not sure if i covered all the tricks. There used to be a thread on it in the general section, try search for it.

Sammoblie.com, [Ramad] Stock Firmware or Darky 10.2RE
Sammobile.com is straight forward. Click on smartphone, then android etc. Just follow the clicks then you select the FW that is relevant to you based on country and provider... If use the Ramad link then you will need your csc code which will be retrievable from the sammobile site its at the bottom.
Good luck

1. Ultimate ROM is it ICS? if yes install samsung drivers.exe from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
2. Download stock ROM for your phone from samfirmware.com or alternatively you can use Darky's ROM
3. you will need Odin to flash the ROM it is included with Darky's ROM as is a read me file with instructions.
4. Start Odin make sure no kies processes are running if installed. If they are running Kill the processes
5. Boot phone to download mode using jig. Remove jig from phone. Plug USB cable into phone. wait for odin to detect phone then flash.
NOTE you may have to Flash once with re-partition ticked and then once without to get the rom completely booted.
Once running it is suggested to perform factory reset

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"
you should then be left with a selection of firmwares for your handset/region
download the suitable version

From what you describe I will assume that your computer is running windows 7. This being the case the file downloaded needs to be extracted so that you are left with 1 file called JVG_JV5_JV4
You say that you are now left with file called JVG_JV5_JV4. Have you downloaded a PIT file? If not find 512 PIT at the bottom of this post.
Once PIT file is downloaded extract file.
Select PIT and add pit file
Select PDA and then select the file extracted JVG_JV5_JV4
Then flash.
As stated before you may have to flash with repartition selected once and then once with out.
This should get you going again.

when you are saying that it is doing nothing is odin flash failing ??
Flash completing and then phone not booting??
If the stock ROM is not working try Darky's 10.2 as it will generally work when other methods fail.

Mate , I can not thank you enough i tried again after i last put message on here and all done i now have 2.3.6 and as far as i am concerned all ok now. I did have to get into recovery mode after i used Odin for mob to start up and just did a system rebbot or should i say factory rebbot. All ok now and alot of songs i had were all still on memory card ok had to re install apps i had before but hey ho.
any advice on battery usage ?
a big big thankyou
Thanks

No problem mate.
Just trying to help where i can

Need help urgently

My wife was gonna install the latest update (Lollipop) today and her phone was encrypted and so she decrypted it to prepare it for installation. At 85% the phone said that it failed and that she had to do a factory reset and so she did but now it seems the bootloader or something messed up. I've tried flashing it with Odin and with the PIT file but with no success. I could really use some help here buddies...
I attached some pictures of what I see when I try to flash it in Odin and what it looks like in recovery.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You tried flashing the boot loader thru Odin am I right? Did you try flashing the whole Firmware thru Odin? Did you put the phone on Download mode? Remember to take the battery out then boot to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power button for about 3 seconds then let them go, phone will boot into Download mode, the connect your phone to pc, then Open Odin, make sure the Odin :COM is on light blue meaning they are both communicating, then go to www.sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your device model, and follow the instructions, it have to work, but your phone will be restored to factory, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Hey there friend (thanks for replying),
I tried pretty much all of what you wrote and it just says failed. I have not tried to flash the bootloader thru Odin only the firmware that I got off of sammobile... I'm at a loss not sure what to do I've never seen this before.

Are you sure you checked everything? try from a scratch, make sure you download the firmware for your device model, a lot of users get confuse with the bunch of letters after N910... also try a different Odin like 3.09, remember to check what I told you before in Odin, also if you wanna give a try, try flashing an old kitkat firmware, all we need is to boot your phone, good cheers:fingers-crossed:
If you think I helped you in anything please Press the Thanks Button, I will appreciate it too, Thanks:highfive:

Hey just to let u know I was reading too about ur problem, this is what I found, you gonna uninstall Samsung drivers from ur pc, under control panel, and reinstall them, or let windows search for the drivers it will install them too, after you do all that, try again flashing via Odin, remember to follow all the steps, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Tried it. Thanks for your helps so far. I'm beat I've been at it all day. Gonna give it a go again tomorrow. Thanks again man.

It may be stupid question but did you flash 3 files ROM or just one file (PDA if I remember well)? If it was second option, then you shouldn't use PIT.

Just one file via AP in Odin.

Why don't you just download KIES and run recovery through that it is much more simple and reliable

Kies doesn't register it... it just says connecting. I tried to kies 3 and 2.6 just to make sure.

It sounds like the issue is with your USB cable maybe try a different USB port preferred in the back of the system not one upfront. Make sure you have mock locations and USB debugging on. The only reason keys wouldn't detect your device is if the drivers are incorrect

There's a feature "Reactivation Lock" in security settings. Make sure it is unchecked. It is a security feature to prevent anyone from changing your system Rom.
