[Q] HELP ME XDA you're my only hope... Galaxy Freezing!

Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help me.
I attempted to flash my ROM with Darkys, but my Galaxy S didn't play ball and stopped booting.
So I followed the usual steps to get it back via odin.
Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (.PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.
Now, It worked yesterday and all was good, but as you know Eclair is powerfully S*%t So I tried reflashing darkys from the Clockworldmod, and this also killed the phone preventing it from booting.
After this I could not access recovery mode.. only Download mode.
Rinse and repeat the steps above... Sadly now once my phone goes to reboot after reflash in Odin, it freezes on the white rotating circles.. and doesn't progress. as mentioned above, I can only get into Download mode.
My Galaxy is a GT-i9000 (Australian Optus).
Can someone please help?? I've looked around but can't find a fix.
If you can help me out that would be Awesome..

Since you are using eclair, I would suggest first upgrading to a stock froyo (there is a froyo upgrade guide in general) and if that works try darkyys rom.

Flashed xx rom twice and it broke your phone . Lesson learnt ???.
Go to Rom Kitchen and download a rom to your build and flash .

[Q] Help!!, How to recover i9000 from Soft Brick?

I was on Froyo 2.2 and i tried to downgrade using Odin n it completed but now my Galaxy S doesn't reboot fully, it turns on like normal, the animation comes up too but when the S in the middle of the screen comes it flashes like it normally does but after a mim or so it jus goes black n turns off!, i removed the battery n sim card n tried it again but still nothing, i can go into download mode and recovery mode which i did to wipe the data but that still didnt work, can anyone help please?!

If you can go to download mode, try flashing again.

I tried that but the flashing fails for sum reason =/

You haven't said what you ROM you were flashing. It does sound like a bad flash. Have you tried downloading the ROM again, maybe from a different source, or possibly go to the samfirmwares page and choose something like the JM8 ROM ( and use odin with repartition ticked). I have had a similar problem like this and this route solved the problem.
Best of luck.

What version of odin are you using? I softbricked my sgs trying to flash voodoo lagfix with odin 1.3, then i reflashed with odin 1.7 and that did the trick to bring the phone back to life. Good luck!

[Q] Possible Unbrick For Galaxy Tab !

Ok guys now i have bricked Galaxy Tab.
Main problem is my customer wanted to install custom rom without rooting device. So there is no recovery mode. I flashed with odin and Heimdall but stuck at Galaxy Tab screen.
i found a solution. There is a recovery section in Heimdall. if someone tell me or send me recovery file i can test it and i will tell the last situation. If it works we will find a solution. if not ...
PS: if u have other solutions please offer me . i didnt find a suitable solution.
Thanks for reading

We would need to know what kind of tab.

it is euro tab

Can you get back into download mode (yellow android digging)? Or sometimes a phone-pc! picture? Then you can just reflash.

i can enter download mode but after re-flash system cant start. bec there is no recovery.

flashing has no relation with root... you can flash firmware on a not rooted device WITHOUT any problem.
recovery is inside the firmware you flash....I think you got some confused ideas...

i am reflashing device it reboots and stucks at galaxy tab screen.
i checked 3 - 4 firmwares same error.
i check
adb devices
Result :
xxxxxxxxx RECOVERY
adb shell
Result :
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Any ideas ?

try this it might work
hold the power off button for 10 second
to make sure it really powered off
hold down all 3 button together
see if it power up in recovery mode

You don't flash with adb. Flash with odin3 or heimdal.

man i am flashing with odin it reboots and stucks in Galaxy tab screen.
3 button combo stucks "Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode " screen
Finally ;
Reflash with odin and heimdall :
Result Stuck at Galaxy Tab Screen. Adb result Device in Recovery.

Attempt a full flash with firmware that has recovery? MoDaCo is a good one. Doesn't sound bricked to me, sounds like your rom is not compatible with the firmware.
Are you flashing a ext4 firmware?
I got this tab stuck at the galaxy screen when I attempted a recovery to a non ext4 backup. Sounds similar.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

i cant flash ext4 bec it stucks at %100

i re-tried it it gots FAIL at %100

This is a gsm tab, correct?
Have you tried any other kernels or roms?
Which are you currently trying to flash? Did you unlock the bootloaders?
Sounds like a revert to stock and 2nd attempt are in order.

i tried to flash PDA section it gave me error. i flash with PHONE section (via odin) it resets but still same error.
it is gsm euro tab. i tried original 5 firmwares
i tried Roto, JM6, Modaco, Overcome still stuck at same state...
i still think main problem is No Recovery partition in device.

If you can get it into download mode, then there is still hope...
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer...
When mine was stuck at galaxy screen, and wouldn't even go into recovery, I flashed a new kernel and all was well.
I also never used Odin, always Heimdel.

as i read in modaco :
after kernel update enter recovery
but no recovery after kernel update any ideas

Likely because you haven't gotten a complete flash... At least that is how you make it sound.
Are you sure you have and are following the instructions correctly?
Unlocked bootloaders and proper use of odin are the two things I would check right off the bat...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

i am not sure that if my bootloader is unlocked or not.
i flashed with odin that is fine what else ?

Last resort I have for u
If u are able to get in download mode
Go get roto jme V4 full version
Flash it with Odin
Please read instruction for installing roto jme v4 full version
***FLASH ONLY WITH ODIN***
FOR GSM TAB ONLY

[Q] Bricked Phone Help

Hi there, I'm sorry to bother you all but somehow I've managed to brick my phone.
Phone info prior to brick:
gt-i9000m
using a rom developed in darky's rom kitchen
rooted
Phone info on way to brick:
Flashed European gingerbread 2.3.2 (successful)
Rooted (successful)
Phone info where became bricked:
Tried to flash seeARMS gingerbread rom onto phone using clockworkmod
Place update file into root folder of internal SD and entered rom manager app to attempt to flash rom, phone enters boot screen and stays there five minutes.
I at this point pulled the battery and reentered download mode attempting to flash european gingerbread again.. Odin runs and then hangs up while it's trying to execute the boot.ini thing, phone's screen turns off I left it running for 5 minutes to make sure that it wasn't working..
Pulled battery and tried to turn on phone enters black screen of death wear the computer exclamation mark and phone symbol pops up.
I attempt to enter download mode and succeed! Then I try to reflash 2.3.2 but again Odin hangs up at boot.ini and screen turns off.
So anyway, my question is since I can still enter download mode is there any possible way to fix my phone? I will be downloading the stock rom tomorrow and attempting to flash it again using Odin. Any suggestions?

I would flash one of the stock 2.1 roms and start all over.

Alright, thanks is there any chance you know where I could fine one?
I was able to unbrick my phone by removing the battery, holding the power button and letting all the residual energy drain from the unit, then booting into download mode and flashing 2.3.2 using Odin3. It turns out, the revision of 2.3.2 I have is without a recovery mode so I'll have to reflash a stock JL2 firmware before I can use seeArm's 2.3.2.

Hey
Try removing the battery a couple of minutes, then put it in Download Mode and flash. Run Odin as Administrator.
If it doesn't work, try removing the SIM and SD Card.
If not, try doing it very quickly. I exolain, it seems that if you let the phone connected during a lot of time it won't work with Odin. Put it in Download Mode connect it to the PC and flash.
If it still doesn't work, turn off the Firewall and Antivirus.
Finally, if not, download Odin 4.42:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s5b38cc3qeeaj19
and Odin 4.43:
https://rs305p6.rapidshare.com/files/2608670876/Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.43.rar
Put the device in Download Mode, and try flashing with Odin 4.42, if it stucks at Setuo connection, close it and open Odin 4.43 and flash.
If not, sorry :
Hit the Thanks button if helped
