[Q] Galaxy S won't load the OS! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to flash CyanogenMod Nightly on samsung galaxy s i9000 and things didn't go quite the way I wanted. I managed to successfully root the device and I have backed up the /efs folder. I then installed Clockworkmod Manager from the Market and used it to install CM recovery.
Since I was unable to enter the CM recovery - I have (or had... ) 3e stock recovery - I wanted to flash one of these kernels. I wasn't able to do that since I couldn't enter the download mode on the phone (VolumeUp-VolumeDown-Enter combination wasn't working for me).
I used Heimdall (ubuntu 11.04 x64 version, with the frontend) to apply this patch and ever since I did that the phone does not load the OS anymore. It is stuck on the black boot screen with Galaxy S logo and won't go any further. I can also enter the Download mode now if I press Volume Down and Enter buttons while switching on the device.
That's about as much as I can do with the phone right now. VolumeUp-VolumeDown-Enter doesn't work anymore - the phone just switches on and gets stuck on that boot screen. I wrote down the original versions of the software before I started playing around with the phone, as follows: PDA I9000XWJPA, PHONE I9000XXJPP, CSC I9000XXJP7.
I would be grateful if somebody could explain to me what are my options now to rescue this beast. I don't have much experience with samsung phones, as I've mostly played with htc (nexus and hd2) so far.
Thanks a lot,
Matt

[Q]Help stuck in a loop

hi i tried to flash CM7 and well now im stuck in a loop going through att screen galaxy s with cyanogen 7 under it then looks like it is updating a package and then just starts over at the att screen cant seem to get it into download
edit: just got it into CWM but dont know what to do now
edit2: now there is a little phone with a triangle and a computer on the other side of it
edit3: phone does not come up in adb i think
never mind flashed with odin
How did you manage to get into CWM? I am having the same problem.
If you can get it to connect with adb, and it should as long as the cyanogen boot screen or whatever boot ani is used. It will be very brief but you may have a moment to put it in recovery via adb, this is saying that the three button method does not work, you could always put it into download mode and flash from scratch

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
Select CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

[Q] Galaxy SIII Mini bootloop - No Recovery Possible

Hey there,
First post on here so apologies if i'm posting in the wrong place or anything
My problem: My Galaxy SIII Mini was running CyanogenMod 11, which I had flashed via Odin a few months ago and it had been working perfectly. Then one morning I took my phone off charge and it would not boot up. I had not installed any apps or packages that could have caused anything to happen recently.
I can get into download mode, but NOT recovery mode.
I have had a browse on some of the forums on here and it seems like a few other users have experienced similar problems. I have tried flashing my stock ROM back onto the phone, but it just goes into a bootloop. I tried flashing both Stock Recovery and CMW Recovery, but the 3 button combo doesn't do anything and my phone just boots normally and then bootloops.
I saw on here a recommendation to install a ROM from a Russian forum that can supposedly fix this issue, but the download link won't work for me.
I also tried flashing a kernel and then recovery, but this didn't work either.
If you have any suggestions or could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Robert

[Q] Unrooted Stock N7000 Stuck at Splash Logo

I have a Note (GT-N7000) which has decided to no longer boot up completely. It is unrooted stock ROM. It manages to get bast the initial boot screen, but gets stuck on the SAMSUNG splash screen.
I can:
Boot into Recovery
Boot into Download Mode
Use ADB
see it in device manager as aMTP Device (although I can't see the actual device contents)
I have data (appdata, and files/documents)on it I need to get off, is there any hope?
It's my wifes phone, so some of you probably know how important this is!
Any help appreciated.

From what I've read, I guessed I'm screwed, but was hoping there was something I missed. Look slike the phone will be relegated to a drawer in the hope that one day I can get data back. Look out Note 3! (or 4 if the budget can stretch)
Solved!
So, I ended up installing PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191) and could then boot into a custom recovery, mount USB and copy all the data off.
All good. Now to factory reset and see if phone comes back to us. Already got a new Note 4 to replace the old girl, so not a issue anymore.

Galaxy S5 Black Screen

Hello everyone I have a problem with my Galaxy s5 G900A (AT&T) his booting but the screen is black but before that happens I did some manipulation on it I will give you the time line of what did happen and I hope that someone could have the answer to may issue (Sorry for my English)
1) My phone was running normally until one day where he turned off and was stuck in boot loop but after some hours he turned on and worked normally and that did happen a lot of time.
2) One day the same thing happened but this time it was really stuck in Boot Loop for days so I decided to flash a new ROM using Odin so I did download this ROM “G900AUCS4DPH3”
3) I flashed the ROM using Odin but that didn't change anything.
4) I tried to flash another ROM “G900AUCS4CPA2” a lollipop ROM after that the phone was still stuck on the boot loop but after some time he did boot but the screen was black so I tried to take off the battery and pushed the lock button for 1, 2 and 5 minutes but in vine that didn't change anything (note: when I tried to access the recovery mode the phone was rebooting but I could access the download mode and the screen was turning on so it wasn't a screen problem)
5) After this I tried to flash the same ROM but by enabling the flash boot loader option in Odin then the phone did run but the screen was black and the boot loop problem was gone and when I tried to access the download mode sometimes it was working but the screen was black and sometimes the phone was rebooting (I felt the vibration) so I decide to use 300K tool (it a software that put the phone in download mode just by plugging it to your computer).
6) After all this I tried a lot of other roms but the problem was steel the same.
7) I tried to flash the roms with a pit file but it didn't change anything.
So now the screen is always black but the is booting normally I don’t know what to do help me please.
List off roms that I tried:
Android 6: G900AUCS4DPH4
G900AUCS4DPH3
Android 5: G900AUCS4CPA2
Android 4: G900AUCU1ANCE
G900AUCU2AND3
Note: when I try to flash Android KitKat roms Odin shows me an error message.
Odin versions that I used:
Odin3 v3.12.3
Odin3 v3.09
Odin3 v3.07
