Hey guys,
First of all I checked every brick thread I could find and I am pretty sure none of the solutions applies to my problem.
I've flashed hundreds of times on numerous phones so I take most precautions to make sure I don't brick my phone, still, that's what happened now for the first time.
Situation:
- Download mode and recovery mode checked... both working
- Had Darky's DarkSteel 3.0 running with LagFix (no problems)
- Disabled LagFix by adding the folder
- Reboot ... disabled lagfix ... still running strong
- Flashed Darky's LegendarySteel 4.0 ... running
- Reboot ... hey no Voodoo ... oops lagfix folder was still there of course
- removed folder
- reboot ... still no lagfix ... OK so I accidentally chose the wrong Darky's ... The one with SpeedFix kernel not the one with Voodoo
- remember: lagfix folder still there, but I thought it would not be enabled as Darky's SpeedFix version had no Voodoo, also, Quadrant showed 900 like you would expect without lagfix
- Checked recovery/download just for precaution ... both working still
- Flashed the rom I wanted: Darky's LegendarySteel 4.0 with VOODOO
- So basically, I flashed WITHOUT "disable lagfix" folder, somehow thinking this would not be a problem considering LagFix wasn't running on the previous rom, and was disabled before flashing the previous rom.
- Clockwork Recovery clear cache / wipe partition ... choose zip ... run update ... OK REBOOT
- Stuck at Galaxy S logo
- No recovery
- Download mode works
- Tried Odin to flash stock rom using PIT 512 with and without repartition ... both just wait for a long time on some message "checking file system" and I don't know how long that should take but after 20mins I gave up.
- Tried rebooting and waiting forever as advised on the Voodoo site ("if you had a lagfix enabled previously, it will take forever, just be patient") well I waited forever (hours?) and still "Galaxy S" bootup screen
- Kies recognizes nothing
- Same for ADB
- Only download mode works ... Odin does recognize the device so all could not be lost right?
My questions:
- What should I flash (including firmware, PIT, odin version, repartition, wait time etc) to get up and running again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try the Odin 1.7 from my thread posted here.
Try flashing back to the kernal that you had on the rom first?
Don't really know if it would help.. just taking a shot in the dark..
God I love this forum. Thanks for the tips all. I was using older ODIN and now using 1.7 (couldn't find it in the specified thread since the link was missing ^^ but used the forum search instead).
It's flashing ... At least that!! I will report back how it goes!

Well, atleast we know that odin 1.7 is more stable and more "unbrick" friendly =)

If it has helped you, please post a reply in my thread. can help others like you.
from my experience odin works the best if you connect your phone and hit the flash button immediately. connecting the phone in download mode and waiting with it always caused the flash process to "stuck" just like you describe.
anyway happy 1.7 helped you.
I had the exact same problem last night.
to solve the issue... I basically reflashed to ECLAIR JM8.
Then installed the ROM i wanted from clockwork recovery, and everything went back to normal!
Hope things work out well for you! cheers!!
I guess Re-Partition solved the problem. This should also work with Odin 1.0 / 1.3
No it was 1.7 that solved it since I did the exact same steps as with 1.3. Upgrading Odin was the fix for sure. I'm surprised not many people use 1.7... all the tutorials and guides point to 1.0 and 1.3.
Thanks for all the help guys!
hi gays,
actuly i have the same problem " screen of death "
but it happened whit my when i tried to flash -speedmod kernel - and - ce-root- in PDA
and it's stopped in middel of the action -- it happened in odin3 1.7 > it's naver happened in odin3 1.3 and odin3 1.3.2
i think there something wrong with 1.7
--sorry for bad English - i hope you understand what i'm tring to say
thanks for your time !!
I have a similar problem, which is not solved yet. I would be glad if someone would help.
Explanation of my probs:
I think I've bricked my SGS. It's a European version, not branded with T-mobile or any operator.
Friday I flashed the JPU (Android 2.2.1) and it worked fine. I've updated it several times via Odin, and never really had problems.
Then I installed the Voodoo recovery image and a custom ROM (Darkys 5.2 ROM). Still worked fine, a quadrant score of 1650. But then... I went to the recovery and chose to partition the internal SD card (EXT3/4). The phone said it succeeded doing this, but then it rebooted and I only got the Samsung logo (in white, no colors). Waited for 10 minutes, nothing happened.
Now I can't get it into recovery mode, however, the 3-button combo is still working, so I can get it into download mode as usual. But it does'nt work. It starts, I get the green slider on the phone, but after a very short time the update stops, it happends while Odin writes sbl.bin
I've tried several ROM's, but it does not work. I don't know what to do now - why can't I flash the phone even though it's in download mode?
Hope that someone can help me.
--- update ---
Hmm, maybe I'm on the right track now - I hope so.
Now I can turn on the phone, but it does go into the stock recovery, even though I just turn it on. It's the stock recovery (Android system recovery <2e> Samsung recovery Utils - for BML -
I downloaded Odin 1.7 from this link:
Download Odin-1.7with.pit.512.803.zip from General-Search.com
I did this on my work computer instead of my laptop. Never used Odin on this computer before. Then I just wanted to test Odin, so I chose some random PDA file I had on the computer. I chose the JPK Root + Busybox 1.17.1 + 2e\i9000_Kernel.tar that I used for rooting the JPK firmware when I was running that.
Then I have flashed the other file from that package (I9000XXJPK_Kernel.tar) - but when I turn on the phone, it stops but shows the white Galaxy S logo.
...more to come.
UPDATE!
UPDATE! Flashed JM7 firmware (that's the newest I already had downloaded on my work computer) and the beast is ALIVE AGAIN! Hallelujah!
I solved it with old ODIN flash 1.3 firmware JPA_JP4_U_JPP.tar (no pit file) USB pluged and unpluged a cuple of times. no repartition and no bootblock . After first flash i had to wipe and factery restore in 2e recovery. and flash again. After that the phone was fine. The KIES version i have installed is 1.5.3.10103.102. I think it is the driver version that KIES installs that is the problem, You could try installing older KIES vith older drivers. After first flash the new firmware could not install aps after first boot, thats why i wiped and flashed again.
Sory for bad English
Help pls.. I can run but it failed in the end after waiting it to run. I had tried reopening the oldin and replug in batt all no use...
Thank you so much for the tips here guys, been trying to recover my nephews softbricked i9000 for 5 days now - finally sorted, woohoo!!!!
I used Odin 1.7, Re-Partitioned with the 512 pit file and flashed a stock rom.
This was my last attempt too so Christmas has come early!
Model GT-19000

Rooted phone with z4 root.
Unable to install custom roms/backup current rom using ROM Manager
It kept saying signature verification failed in recovery mode when i tried to use update.zip
I understand that it is due to 3e recovery on my phone

None of them worked. Got All threads completed (0 succeed/1 failed) everytime.
I just want to install custom rom.
This is beyond frustration.
First the lagging Eclair and Froyo and this.
Plus I had to write this post twice cos this site thought that there is an email link somewhere.
Please Help. Anyone?
What do I need to do to get a custom rom.
Best thing to do to be sure it works fine is update to 2.2.1 JPY using the reg hack.
Flash speedmod kernel with CWM built into it via Odin.
Flash custom rom such as Darkyy rom via CWM recovery.
I will be posting some video tutorials later tonight in the development section showing how to flash etc.
Good luck

I think you should try to flash the latest Hardcore's Speedmod kernel with Odin (PDA + repartition unticked). It comes with CWM Recovery.
What version of Odin do you have? And it said "Added" when you plugged in the phone?
thanks zolah and rytkonen.
So I am installing speedmod-kernel-k13a-500hz.zip via ODIN (PDA).
Lets see if this sorts it out and enables me to install darky's/doc's magic rom
i have Odin3 v1.3. Yeah it mentions added and removed and the works.

Have you tried different usb-port already? And you have the latest kies installed and not any kies processes active when using Odin? There seems to be some kind of problem with the connection to PC.
e. You also might want to try the Odin 1.7 (exe says Odin3 v1.7).

This phone is relatively hard to brick for real. Pull out the battery for few minutes and try to boot to download mode. What did you try to flash? Did you try different usb port?
Did you try flashing through these steps:
1. Kill all Kies processes
2. Open Odin
3. Select the tar to pda section and make sure re-partition is unticked
4. Boot to download
5. Connect phone through usb
6. Flash
?
ok i figured that orange triangle out and my phone is working again.
Also I was able to install speemod kernel.
It now reads 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #32
However it still is 3e Android system recovery which means I am still not able to backup my rom install a new rom. - Same thing
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed.
EDIT: yeah, i followed the exact same steps. so after the orange screen i was lucky to go to download mode and did the odin install again. This time it worked. That's great, but the initial problem still remains - 2e recovery and custom rom

Great, you are already a huge step closer to a custom rom.
Are you sure you were rooted before flashing? Something strange is still happening because I restored my phone to it's out-of-the-box state few days ago and I can confirm that you get the CWM when you flash succesfully the Speedmod kernel.

I think this was the reason, I wasn't able to get it flashed. My Kies processes were on at the time. Now I redid the CF-Root after my success with the speedmod (again the kies processes were killed this time) and now I have 2e Android System Recovery.
Thanks again, mate. Super advice
Yeah, it is rooted all right. The second time around, it is actually creating a backup. So I just have to save the CWM folder on my computer and then I can add new custom roms right?
Thanks for the patience btw.

Are you speaking of Nandroid backup? You can save it on your computer but I think it is not very recommended to restore a nandroid backup. If you get your phone to a state that it wont boot (but Download mode is working) you can always just flash a new rom with Odin. Now when you got it working.
With CWM you can flash custom roms and kernels easily from recovery. Just remember to read the developer's instructions carefully before flashing.
e. I think this is an excellent thread to keep in mind when you want to flash back to stock or make a clean start (or in case of "brick"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556

Do you have Rom manager app installed?
If you do then delete the app and boot into recovery mode again and see if you have CWM recovery.
Hello everyone, this is my first post on XDA

Go get your firmware from the stock thread in general or one of Ramad's pre rooted firmwares. Follow the instructions to flash. You just need to reflash, it'll work out just fine. Then worry about kernels.
Speed mod kernel is what worked best for me in FroYo to lag fix and root, I recommend it highly.

now it seems the device is bricked.
i cant access download and recovery mode and got a screen of a phone and a pc and yellow triangle between them.
is there anything i can do?
edit:
i got into download mode what can i do now? im really nervous, where can i find the instructions to flush.
im on download mode right now, can i turn of the device without bricking it?
This happened to me once, don't panic. Take out your battery, plug in your phone to the charger and use the 3 button combo to get into download. You can repair from this screen. The phone ! Pc is only a soft brick.

First, thanks for your help dude,
I thought the phone is dead, but i said lets try one more time before i go to fix it somewhere.
Now im in download mode, can i flash rom with a tar file i have, its a stock rom of the company i bought it from, i need other file then .tar or the .tar is enough?
can i plug it to the charger while in download mode?
No problem buddy.
If the tar is a full rom, flash it as a PDA with no other files. Make sure repartition is not checked.
You can plug it in, but there is no over charge protection so make sure it doesn't overheat for too long. You do need the battery to be over 65% though, to flash safely.other than that, flash normally. Tell me if you need instructions on flashing.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
this is how i flash:
get my device to download mode.
open odin v1.7, open the tar file as PDA
connect the device to the usb, auto reboot and F.reset time and the only option checked and then i press "start".
Is there anything else i have to do?
OK i installed JVQ stock rom and its working
I thank you very much my friend you helped me alot.
now i wanna install semphore kernel, how i do it via odin?
Make sure to kill all kies processes in the task manager before starting. Make sure you have the usb drivers installed. Also start and get odin ready before plugging in your phone in download mode.
That's about it, you should be fine.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
well i flashed the kernel, but now i cant download apps from the market, it just get stuck on "starting download"...
i can browse the web but cant download....
any ideas?
Did you do a factory reset and clear your cache? That's usually where my errors came from. Beyond that I'm not sure.

Download, use Odin to install
Hi,
I managed to brick my Samsung Galaxy S I9000M.
Was locked on Virgin network (Canada) and I was trying to root the phone and then unlock it.
But something didn;t work properly (or I made a mistake) and now the phone keeps rebooting. I can go into Download mode but nothing more.
This is what I did:
1) I installed Odin 1.85
2) I started ODIN as admin, I pressed on PDA and then I selected a zip folder called
"CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS"
3) This is what ODIN was showing:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> RES OK !!
<ID:0/003> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
5) So after waiting 5-6 minutes (in this time the phone was rebooting up to the Samsung logo) I turned off the phone and I have tried to start the device. But is not starting anymore, it keeps rebooing.
Now I don't know what to do to fix it.I know that I made a big mistake, I was not supposed to do something without knowing what I'm doing...But now it's too late, I have to fix it.
Note: The phone was running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
if its in boot loop then look like it's only softwoer brick.
so if you can get in to download mode by 3 bouten combination greate you can try to reflash (I will try all so to redownloading the files)
if not than you must find a JIG or some one with a JIG to get in to download mode and reflash.
The version of CF-ROOT you selected is not compatible with the version of GB (UGKG3?) that was on your phone.
If your phone had UGKG3 installed, there are very few rooted kernels available for it.

Is the latest speed mod kernel compatible?

Yes, I can go into download mode.
How can I reflash the phone ? Which kernel should I use ?
Sorry but I'm new in this.
If you give me some links that will be great.
I don't want to aggravate the situation .
If the OP has/had UGKG3 installed, I have found that to be the oddest ROM I have used to date on my phone.
It does a lot of things differently.
I made another post on here where I attached a basic rooted kernel for the UGKG3 ROM. Let me go find it and link to it.
Again, this is assuming it was UGKG3. Ma Bell has only released one GB ROM for the GT-i9000m, so I think it's a safe bet that's what the OP was running on his Virgin branded phone.
EDIT: Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21655532&postcount=492
This will give you a basic rooted kernel, no CWM or anything else, just root.
You'll also need to download Superuser from the Market.
Thank you.
Now how should I install that kernel?
I suppose that after I reflash the phone it will start normally and then I can go to the Android market and install Superuser from there?
Is there a link with instructions (Step by Step guide)?
Sorry,but I dont have too much experience with this.
Thanks a lot!
I found this in the General thread, it has links and step-by-step instructions:

Open Odin, select the zImage.tar file as PDA. DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SETTINGS.
Connect your phone to your computer and wait for the ID:COM box to turn yellow.
Press Start.
Your phone will reboot and it should start normally.

Thank you very much !!!
My phone is fine now. It's rooted and I managed to unlock it using Galaxy_S Unlock + SuperBox from the market.
Thanks a lot .
This is what my phone shows now:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000UGKG3
Kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3
Great, glad you got your phone working again.
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for a week now with no success.
First off, it has a lot of problems connecting when I am in download mode. It has no problem at all when the phone is fully booted up, but Odin has a really hard time seeing it while the phone is in download mode. I have to restart the phone several times into download mode and pull the cable, etc until I can finally get Odin to see it.
Once I get Odin to finally see the phone in download mode I loaded the PIT and the PDA files from the tutorial for DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.
But when I hit start is just stops here:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And will not go any further.
I originally rooted with one click, but I am afraid I might have messed that up. After I did the one click I was messing around with the phone and formatted the internal memory from the download screen. I even went back into one click to try to unroot, but it gives me an error message.
Did I mess up my phone? Is there any way to fix this?
have you ever succeeded in flashing with odin or first time?
have you closed all kies programs from task manager? (do you even have it installed?)
if you have win7, have you opened odin with right click menu->as administrator?
what ver. of odin do you use?
maybe the cable is faulty?
did you connect it directly to the comp or by some hub? (better connect directly)
guy7685,
No, I have never flashed before. This is the first time.
I tried running Odin as system admin, made no difference.
I do not have Kies installed.
I'm pretty sure the cable is good, it works fine for everything else including data transfer on my other phone, just not in download mode for this phone.
I've tried a few different versions. v1.30, v1.83, v1.85
When I tried in in v1.83 & v1.85 I get a fail, then this message:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any thoughts?
If you have another computer you can try it on, do that otherwise I think you need to install the drivers again. You can search for them or you can install them via kies. Once you have kies installed go to tools and install drivers.
Remember that before you open Odin you go through task manager to close all kies processes.
Good luck

I was finally able to get it to work. I think I was using the wrong recovery screen or at least what I thought was a recovery screen because I finally got the guy in the construction picture and it flashed no problem with Odin.
After Odin Succes
Everything is ok and all thred completed (succesd 1 / failed 0)
After this, my galaxy tries to reboot but it only shows the flashing battery and will not reboot itself.

Right Click -> Run As Administrator it should resolve the issue
If its showing the battery only then its probably the wrong flash file.
