I put my phone into manual recovery mode via Clockwork because I flashed a Cyanogen Nightly and didn't like it... I was going to go back to my Darky v10 ROM (which was draining my battery like a biyotch, hence the Cyanogen install)
My phone's now stuck; it turns off and on again, only getting as far as the Samsung Galaxy splash screen
This has happened before but I just popped into into recovery (via the 3 buttons) and reflashed the Darky zip.
Now I can only get it into download (which is useless to me because I don't have access to a PC)
I don't mind losing everything or going back to stock... I just want my phone to turn on
What are my options? Please help?
To flash away from cm7, your only option is a pc: you need odin to flash a samsung stock rom, with pit and repartition.

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!

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.

[Q] Boot Loop with no recovery or download mode (R&D mode fixed, stuck in Boot Loop)
HI Guys
Need some help, I've been searching the previous post of similar problems but nobody seems to have my issue.
The story so far, I was updating my wife's GalaxyS i9000 Kernel with the latest version of CF-Root. (It was running stock version of Eclair 2.1) I couldn't get into download or recovery mode before the flash, so i used ADB to force it into Download mode then used Odin to update the PDA file. It all worked ok then i rebooted the phone and that is where the problem started. It just gets stuck rebooting to the GalaxyS GT-i9000 Screen over and over and over again. I've tried the 3 button recovery or download option and that doesn't work. So i am at a loss everyone. Any Ideas? I was thinking i might need to make up a usb jig.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is my wife's phone so you can understand the stress!
Sounds like you are the lucky owner of an i9000 with a faulty SBL which prevents you using the 3 button combo.
If you can't get download mode you'll need a jig to recover it, then look into this to fix the 3 button combo.
Great it worked! So 3 button combo works, Do you have any ideas on how to get the phone out of the boot loop that it is stuck on without wiping user data like sms and stuff of the phone?
You were running rooted 2.1 correct? What did you flash in Odin that broke it?
*Might* be as simple as reflashing the right CF-root for your firmware.
Thats were i went wrong, i tried to root from stock to CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS so i've been trying to find a stock version to go back too.

Is there a way to flash to Froyo from eclair without losing any data?
I'm facing a problem due to flashing my GT-S5830 (ACE)
I tried New release Cyanogen MOD 9 and didn't like it.. (Still many bugs, and FC! >.<)
So I went back to recovery mode in CMW5, and do..
1. Wipe Data+System+Dalvik
2. Restore my backup (Samsung Stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.3)
3. Reboot
But, then my ACE stuck in GT-S5830 Screen for a long time, till it's black screen blank.
I've tried the ODIN v4.38, ODin 3 v1.83
Download the ACE Stock package..
Start... And stuck at setup connection line..
Anyone can help me? I need my phone back.. :'(

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

[Q] I9000 boot loop - can't enter recovery & Odin doesn't see phone in download mode
Back in December i installed CM10 stable on my i9000. It had been running perfectly until yesterday, when, after attempting to charge dead battery, phone got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily i have a spare battery (with at least some juice left!), but the phone will neither enter recovery mode nor be recognised by Odin in download mode. When plugging in the USB (in download mode), the pc appears to install the drivers but Odin still won't work. [My plan had been to reflash CM10]
I'm not too bothered about which ROM i put on the phone - i just need to bring it back from the dead !
I've read various things about Heimdal and Semaphore, but it all seems rather complicated. Therefore any advice as to how best to proceed would be much appreciated.
Have you tried manually installing the drivers?
There's a thread in the I9000 Themes and Apps area with drivers.

Cheers, that got Odin to recognise it. Odin flashed with Darkyrom 10.2 Resurrection and it's up and running. Now i just need to find a new stable JB rom !
