Hello everyone, today i was trying to install the new version of Darky's rom and so i wiped data/factory reset on CMW and now my phone doesn't start anymore when i turn it on it flashes the galaxy logo 2 times then its stuck there, and when i go to download mod to try to flash stuff the computer doesn't detect the USB no more(i tried all ports on the pc). i also fooled around the CWM partition and mounting and stuff and i think i screwed it up even more. what can i do at this point? thanks any help is much appreciated
Can you still access recovery? if so, run a factory reset on it and then see if it is detected by odin. If so, revert it back to a froyo base using EZbase, and then try flashing the rom again, this time only changing what it says to change.

Hi all you clever guys I need your help!
Yesterday I decided to try making myself a new theme for my O2X and now I'm stuck in boot.
I have flashed my phone many times before but now I feel like an idiot.
Please advice me on how to save my phone.
After making the theme using a theme generator I found here on XDA I installed the zip file via Recovery mode and booted my phone. It then looped in the LG startup image.
I wiped the phone and ran back up in Recovery mode then tried rebooting but no luck.
I have also tried to flash with my last used Custom ROM but the phone is now stuck in boot and only shows the screen with the LG logo and process bar.
Please advice me on what I can do to save my phone.
On top of it all I have a problem with my PC so I can not install the LG PC suite SW and can not connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Why on earth did I do this....
Dont worry at all, are you sure you have wiped your data and cache partition? Do this and then flash some ROM (can recommend latest CM7 build).
If its a no go, you can always flash original firmware with nvflash (there's a tutorial for this, just look it up)
Hope I helped
All you need to do is reflash the current rom you are using now without a wipe and that will fix you problem.
If you get bootloop from something you have just flashed just reflash the current rom without a wipe and that will fix ya problem, for next time hey????
Can you get in to recovery??
Hi
Thanks for your inputs and help! Currently downloading NVFlash on my PC and will try it out.
Yes I can enter recovery by pressing vol down key and power button at the same time. (thank Good for that!)
do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rom of your choice, just make sure you have the correct ext 3 or 4 or you will get bootloop
hi all
i ahve not installed a custom rom on my note, but i have rooted it and installed abyss note kernal. everything has been working fine for months and months with this, all of a sudden last night i saw my phone was off, i went to switch it back on and the boot screen just keeps looping and i have no idea why.
I can get into recovery (it says odin mode) and the phone is connected to odin on my PC.
i obviously would like to get the phone working again some how, but if at all possible i would like to keep everything that was on there as i was using the phone as a usb drive to store my college work on and dont want to lose it.
any help would be appreciated
Are you able now to start your phone???and if not, can you enter in download mode(pressing vol down+home key+power key)

hmmm so what your trying to say is that just right after reflashing to stock GB your phone went into a bootloop after? You didn't have any chance still of restoring your backups did you? it just rebooted right after flashing back to GB?
i didnt flash any rom before, i was just on stock what came on the phone. the boot loop randomly happened last night. i have just now flashed a stock GB rom through download mode and odin.
the boot loop is still happening even after i just flashed a stock rom
did you restored your backups back on your phone? if you did.. try not to.. just observe it for now.. all stock.. no datas at all, turn off your phone(in airplane mode) and see if your still getting the bootloops.... if your still getting it then I'm doubting you may have a corrupted data partition inside your phone.
Mate, if you're on stock GB (NOT STOCK ICS!!!!), then you can safely go into Recovery Mode and full wipe:
- Hold Power + Volume Up + Home button alllll the way until a weird recovery, safe-mode like menu appears
- Navigate using the Volume Keys to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
- Use Home button as ok and do that
- Navigate to "Reboot System"
And you're done and safe, no worries
i didnt restore any backups as i didnt have any baackups. i cant access the phone at all it just boot loops only. i think it is a corrupted data partition as i have flashed a stock rom and it still boot loops. i dont know how it happened though as i didnt do anything i just pulled it out my pocket and it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on and thats when i got the boot loop

Most Welcome!
Just remember to press thanks!
One more thing... Please make sure you know about recovery and/or download mode, about CWM, stock and custom ROMs + kernels before flashing
It will turn the experience of customizing your Note into something really pleasurable, not a teeth-chattering experience Believe me, I know.
You can check out the stickies in every thread + you can check out some articles either here on XDA or "Android A-Z" that talk about CWM (Clockwork-Mod Recovery), Rooting and that sort of thing.
Best of luck to you!
Ok so I have been looking around for two days now and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I've even searched and tried everything on these forums so please don't ask me to google or use the forums search.
I've got a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M, it was working fine a few days ago and I picked it up to check my messages and it was frozen. After a few minutes I pulled the battery and went to restart the phone.
The phone will now only show the Samsung Galaxy S white logo and simply restart itself and play that logo over and over. If the phone is plugged into the wall it will show the battle charge logo briefly and than restart to the logo. It will go no further than this point.
I have tried to do a factory reset via Home + Power + Vol Up but it seems to reset itself before it will actually load into that menu. Home + Power + Vol Dn will bring me to the download screen which is stable and will not reset the phone.
This is where it gets strange, I have tried Odin and a 100% stock flash on the phone with no luck the phone just sits resetting. After a download of DarkyROM it will actually load the white Galaxy S logo along with the DarkyROM logo and simply go back to resetting.
So the phone is clearly in some state of a working order able to download and accept ROMs but just keeps restarting itself after the white initial Galaxy S logo.
Any and all help would be appreciated! I hope I have explained this problem well enough, maybe it is in need of being brought to a shop to be fixed? Just happens that the warranty expired last week, almost seems coincidental.
Thanks!
After you installed DarkyRom (or any other ROM with CWM), did you try re-entering the recovery menu? Perhaps you will now be able to enter recovery?

No, after the install of the ROM it would load up the white galaxy logo along with the DarkyROM logo and than just go back to resetting itself over and over. I could still go back to to the download but not access the reset menu.

run through My Android Solutions, link below and do the first step after that to immediately to recovery or download mode , than flash a rescue or resurrection kit from My Android collections, link below, all this done without sim card or exts SD card inserted
None of this has worked, I have tried every trick I can find on the net but I can't seem to get it to go.
As before the phone will go into download mode, will accept roms and so on as shown by the DarkyROM logo showing up and going away with the removal of it.
After every attempt I am still not able to get into recovery mode but am still able to access download mode. The phone seems to be in some state of working order but continues to reset itself only when turned on but will run stable in download mode.
ADB doesn't see the device and even if it did I think it would still just reboot once it started into recovery.
It's almost as if the phone starts and after it shows the starting Galaxy S GT I9000 it just turns itself off for some reason
Is their any way to totally reformat the phone and start 100% from scratch without getting into recovery to do factory reset?
Step by step instructions on what to do and download for Odin would be fantastic. I am still not sure 100% on what the PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are or do so the files I need to put in those and a good explanation would be great!
This happens sometime. To fix, Do this.
1. Boot into download mode.
2. Flash stock ginger bread with Odin using 512 pit.
3. Now boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
4. Boot again into download mode.
5. Flash devil or semaphore kernel.
5a note. Your phone doesn't need to be able to boot. All we need is recovery mode.
6. Boot into the new recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
7. Format /system.
8. Flash ROM / gapps etc.
9. Boot with success.
10. Happy dance time, brings good luck.

ok, try flashing a gingerbread Ezboot loader, visit My Android collections, link below, has complete guide at download page
Well I've tried both suggestions with no luck. I am starting to think it's some sort of hardware problem which I can't understand because it is 100% stable and won't reset in download mode. It will accept ROMs and so on but instantly just starts to restart itself after the first logo is shown. No work around will let me into recovery mode and no method I have found so far will just reload how the phone boots. I guess it's time for a new phone eh chaps?

hmm, its strange..anyway, you should remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, and try to use any tool from My Android Collection, to format the Internal SD card and flash a 2e recovery to see , if you can get your recovery back or even a i9000 rescue kit would be good to go after formating your Internal SD card
Formatting you Internal SD card, will resolve any settings, data, delvik cache etc that would be the cause of your initial problem.. there are formatting tools as well a recovery tools that can be used to achieve this
Did u flash the correct stock firmware for ur I9000M? try this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162558059/7efd7bc/I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_VMC.zip.html.
Source : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Ok progress is being made, first I used Odin to load I9000UGKG3-I9000BMCKG3_VMC in the PDA slot without doing a reboot. Then I loaded JPK_Root_Recovery_2e using just the i9000_Kernel and was able to boot recovery.
After doing a Wipe Cache and then Factory reset the phone went back to a boot loop and I was unable to get back to the recovery menu.
After repeating the first steps I am once again in the recovery mode with no boot loot but am unsure as to where to go from here.
Currently the screen reads
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache

E: Invalid command argument

*EDIT* Seems once you restart from the recovery mode it goes right back to a boot loop, was not able to apply the SD card update either. So getting to recovery is currently a one time deal without having to go back and reload VMC and 2e. Once restarted all is lost.
You will need to flash another firmware with 3 file method @odin. Search on this forum a firmware and flash it!
Don't worry, u can't brick your phone that easily. I flashed my phone 10times in a day, for boot loops, when i tried to upgrade to 4.0.4

Ok so this time I used Odin to do VMC in the PDA slot, then I9000 Kernel went back to VMC and loaded that then when I restarted the phone it went back to the same boot loop.
I have no way to clear the internal SD or anything like that because the programs will not see my phone connected to my PC.
What could be causing my phone to just continue to restart?

I gave u a source, download the guide on flashing through odin. It should work. Dun flash 1 file by 1 file.
EDIT : u can find more firmwares here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Pm me if you need any help!
Ok so here is where I am at..
I have tried everything everyone has listed so far. The only think that has made any sort of progress at the moment is going into download mode, connecting to the USB after loading Odin. Using JPK_Root_Recovery_2e I9000_Kernel.tar will bring me to the recovery screen.
wipe cache partition + reboot = boot loop
wipe cache partition + wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
Any of the above mentioned plus loading stock firmware results in a boot loop.
Any of the above mentioned plus loading DarkyROM Resurrection 10.2 will again show the Galaxy S I9000 Logo plus the DarkyROM logo and proceed to boot loop.
Clear cache and factory reset than load of i9000XXJVT pit/pda/modem/csc results in boot loop.
If I am missing something please explain in detail and not shunt me off to some other page.
As before I have tried everything mentioned with no luck at getting past this boot loop. Clearly the phone is able to accept roms and so on so the internel SD seems to be ok but the boot sequence seems scrambled. Strange that it will boot to download and boot to recovery with JPK but upon restart it just boot loops and without Odin and JPK I can only get back to download mode.
Seems to me you also have some partition woes. Try to find an older rom (Milky's worked for me) that requires re-partitioning to be done. Flash via ODIN, wait for 10-15 mins for whole process to complete. CWM flash any rom from there ... (Darky's Extreme also repartitions)
I just got the phone today.
I was trying to follow this guide to install lineageOS https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s2/install
Flashed twrp and got up to the 3rd part. I was about to start flashing the rom but the recovery mode was asking me for a password I didn't have. I never set a password on it.
So I tried doing a factory reset and now when I try to reboot it, it gets stuck on the boot screen with the LeEco logo and powered by android etc.
I can still boot into recovery. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache and factory reset it again but it didn't help. I didn't try wiping anything else yet since I'm afraid to break it.
I did get twrp on but I did not install any roms yet.
All I did was the factory wipe and now I'm stuck.
I have no important data on it, so I don't care if I have to reset everything.
If I can just get it back to factory default so I can start over, I'd be fine.
What's the recommended course of action?
Sorry I'm kind of a noob at this so detailed instructions would be appreciated.
I figured it out.
In recovery mode, mounted the phone to computer
Computer didn't recognize it at first so had to go to device manager and change the driver to read it as composite usb
Moved over the rom I wanted to flash and just installed it like I was planning to
Another possibility would have been an OTG adapter. You don't have any problem with windows drivers that way

Yes, I found it easier to flash through ADB.
Hi all,
IT has been so long since I have flashed a rom, so I have forget how to troubleshoot. This phone I mainly use for apps and stuff and it definitely is rooted, as I still have the Odin download mode come up when I press home, power and volume down button. I was having slowness and difficulty for a bit, and some apps would tell me, I can't install them as I don't have the right version etc. Anyway, I uninstalled some of the android updates and all I kept getting was annoying pops up and slowness. I then decided to just do a factory reset, hoping it would wipe everything clean and return to stock. It now is stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 screen. I have tried all the tricks to get it to boot and nothing. It is stuck.
How do i bypass this, can it be done using Odin on my Mac? I am lost
Thanks for any help in advanced guys...:good::good::good:
When u are on mac, u have to use heimdall which is MUCH more complicated and nothing for beginners.
Use bootcamp to install windows and then download a firmware (e.g from updato) and boot into download mode.
Use Home+Power+Volume Up to get to the recovery mode.
Get your favourite rom on an SD card, downloaded from the PC.
Assuming that you have Philz or TWRP, flash it and it should work.
And if i dont have Philz or TWRP ?... (T_T)
You done the factory reset form the phone menu or the recovery?
