cheers

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though

Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel

Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks

there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

[Q] Kies crashed Galaxy S update now bricked !!HELP!!

Hi.
I tried updating my Samsung Galaxy S to the latest firmware using Kies (all official), as it was updating i got this message: "disconnect the cable, then battery, then replace battery and turn on and then try again"
So i followed the given steps and i get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I searched on this forum and found a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975) which i followed and lead me to this screen:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9VbztnoEqs/TamSqYdBRyI/AAAAAAAAAEs/oxp7FUo5WRs/s1600/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode.jpg
Only problem is, what should i do after this? It's on that screen. I dont want to root it (yet...), but want to update it to its latest firmware.
Kies it probably the worst, misguided software i've ever used.
Can you give a link to the official latest firmware, so i can install on to the phone.
Thanks
You could also try "emergency recovery" or something like that from the Kies. Our use Odin/Heimdall to flash stock rom. Don't worry you'll get your phone back up and running

I tried Emergency Recovery on Kies, nothing was coming up, so that was a fail...
Can someone please link me to a good tutorial to Install a stock rom on to my phone please?
Thanks.
Edit:
I've found this Tutorial, should i refer to it for my situation?
Edit 2:
Can some one link to a ROM that i can use for "[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000" as the current one linked on the thread is dead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000: Detailed guide for n00bs
Use jvu, one of the latest official:
http://hotfile.com/dl/140301534/be8872c/I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar.html
No need to put anything to your sdcard as you dont have cwm.
Read the guide, get odin and 512 pit
Use search.

Thanks for the links!
I have looked everywhere and i cannot find the 512.pit, only one i found had a dead link.
Can you link me to a working link please?
Thanks
Edit 2:
Hey, nevermind, i manage to find the link and download.
I've installed the firmware it is 2.3.6! So happy
Thanks a million!

Root the Note

Hi guys,
I had my mobile phone rooted and flashed with a custom rom (Jelly Bam) but had to rewind everything because I needed to send it to the support center. Anyway, I just got it back and wanted to root it again so I can put the custom rom on it.
This is my folder

}
I put the zImage from the CF-Root-SGN into the InitialCFRootFlasher zImage Folder but when I now start not-rooted-yet.bat I always get the message that the path cannot be found. Is there a new way to root the Galaxy Note more easily or am I doing something completely wrong? I got the drivers, no Kies started, USB-Debugging on and unkown sources too. Help would be appreciated

The problem is that on these instructions I need to put something on my external SD card but I don't have one. Isn't there a way without an external SD Card?

I'm trying to install cfroot/kernel/cust. rom but phone is rebooting all the time

Hi,
My friend bought used Galaxy S. He asked me if I can install any custom ROM on his device. First he has installed 2.3.6 XXJVT. I downloaded CF Root for XXJVT and plugged phone in Download Mode. During installation an error has occurred. Odin shows me "FAIL" on red background. When I'm trying to boot phone it displays me:

I'm install stock ROM for Germany, 2.3.6 Value Pack, but this one hasn't got a CF. This ROM is XWJW3. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34347160
I'm trying to install this kernel but after installation phone is rebooting all the time. I wanted to install CM9 via CWM, so I tried CWM and tried to flash it but during installation phone rebooted. Display shows me "SAMSUNG CYANOGENMOD", then - display shows recovery with red triangle and phonerebooted, then it shows me "SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000". It loops all the time. After that I installed three files XEU with PIT 512 and CF Root for JW4, next I tried CWM and installed CM9 but phone rebooted again. My other friends also have SGS, but with battery. They have got model GT-I9000 but my friend's device model is GT-9000i.

you need to be sure which model you have, either its i9000 or i9001, they are two different models with different flashing procedure and ROM's. Best way is to check IMEI Check your IMEI here or here When you are not sure what model is your device.
For i9000 Follow this guide
For i9001 Follow this guide

Hi,
I installed some random firmware and it got installed. But then phone started looping in boot.
I searched xda and found another thread which i did odin and fixed boot loop.
But after that again to square 1. The actual issue is that as soon as the phone is started the apps, services like google.com.etc etc starts crashing and phone barely boots up. How do I fix this crashing ?
Please help.
Thanks.

[Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat
and flash the gingerbread stock ROM, if you have poor Mobile Network reception problem, you can change the modem for India later, so follow guide and flash with PIT and JVU ROM
or you can flash a rescue kit ( it is the same) If you have everything saved, its best you format your internal SD card for a clean install.

Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE Stock ROM & TWRP cannot be flashed with ODIN!

Hello XDA - Experts Team,
first of all, sorry for my bad English!
I have an older Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE (SM-G925F) / original ROM - DBT (last OTA update) / no branding / without root, that until recently worked perfectly and never made any complaints ... at least until a few days ago while an APP installation (she probably destroyed something) and got stuck in the bootloop .....
First i deleted the cache in recovery mode (I didn't want WIPE, because of data loss) because I read here that I might be able to solve the problem this way, but it didn't work ... then I downloaded the file - G925FXXS6ETI6_G925FDBT6ETJ1_G925FXXU6ERF6_HOME. tar.md5 via SamFirm, and flashed it (according to XDA flashing Thread) with ODIN3 (3.14.4) in DownloadModus on Handy, the only stupid thing is that ODIN aborted / stopped in the Installation Process! Since then the phone only boots up to the Samsung logo, the recovery mode has disappeared and I only get into the download mode! : (((
When i trying to re-flash the firmware, now ODIN3 always stops at boot.img and aborts the process (see Figure 2) with FAIL (different ODIN versions tried, different USB cables / ports connected)!
I also read here in the forum that you could make a backup with TWRP (I took: twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img.tar) to save/recovery my phone-data ... TWRP cannot be done with ODIN3 either play, the preview goes also until recovery.img and then breaks off, again and again with Fail!

Please Help! What am I doing wrong!?
I've already tried everything and can't get any further, I'm really slowly desperate ... I am mainly concerned with the data / pictures etc. that are on the phone, and hmmm unfortunately I don't have a backup of the data! You are my last resort, people!
Any advice from you would be great!
Greeting from Macedonia
