Hi,
I've tried to flash the latest MIUI ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S but now I'm stuck at recovery mode. When I reboot I always get into recovery mode. I just can't boot it. I tried to wipe and put other rom's on it but I just can't get phone working! I can get into download mode.
So can my phone still be saved?
Hope you guys can help me out!
Flash ezbase with odin.

hey djtimmetiej
yes you can save your phone when you reflash the rom step by step i would prefer to flash darky's resurection 10.1 but you can flash any sgs rom to fix it.
since you didn't specify about download mode, heres my suggestion
if you can manage to get into download mode its possible you can save it
otherwise you could try using a jig
How did you want to flash MIUI? Did you have Froyo with Froyo bootloaders on your Galaxy first? Did you follow the installation instructions step by step?
Are you able to get into download mode?

My SGS does not boot and does not enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode though. I suspect it happened after I removed some files from SD card.
Can I access SD card in download mode?
How can I use download mode to restore firmware and the recovery?
Thanks in advance.
u have to reflash your firmware. if u get only downloadmode working u can only reflash your device.
try a custom kernel first. if this wont work, then flash new firmware
Strange.from download mode you can only flash firmware.I think u can use adb and connect your phone to computer.try little search on topics don't rush first read carefully.

@malcho
adb wont work in download mode. only in cwm and after successful boot
So I understand I need to connect to PC in download mode and then use some software like ODIN to flash a ROM? Correct?
thats right.
may u can flash via kies, if u want a stock rom from samsung
I didn't know that info about adb.Thanks for info

Well, it's strange but looks better. Even before I did anything with ODIN the phone booted into the new ROM but I still cannot get into recovery. Seems like ROM installation procedure deleted something essential to run the recovery.
So now I have the download mode and Android working.
I am trying not to make any sudden moves so that I won't lose to ability to boot the ROM. What would be the best way to restore ClockworkMod recovery?
What ROM are you running now?
From a running stock-ROM the easiest way is to flash some custom kernel that includes CWM.
Here's a list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
For 2.2.1-based ROM I prefer Speedmod.
For 2.3.3-based, choose your own
edit: There are some ROMs/kernels that can only enter recovery when USB-debugging is on.

I've just switched from Darky's 9.2 to PilotX with 2.6.35.7-I9000X[email protected]#Beta4.2_1 kernel.
From what you are saying I understand CWM recovery needs Linux kernel to run. I thought it's a stand alone boot-loader independent from the OS and kernel.
I installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS which comes with CWM recovery via ODIN with no effect. I still cannot reach recovery mode.
My phone came with 3e recovery which I downgraded to 2e (I don't remember how I did it then). Is it possible it has something to do with the problem?
You should always flash to stock when you have an issue.
You can also use Darky's resurrection (at least, part A: Pit with re-partition)
Then flash the original firmware (from samfirmware.com)
Thanks to everyone.
The problem was solved using http://www.v00d00.co.il/GBFINAL.pdf guide. Note, this guide is only relevant for Hebrew PilotX ROM.
Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.
What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

Thanks for this wonderful tool "Muspelheim" , I am able to get into recovery mod. But can u tel me the steps of installing rom. I want to install Dark Knight on my fone. Because in recovery mode no such option is available in which I could select zip folder from sd card
At first you need a gingerbread rom with cwm. So you need the download mode to flash with odin. If you have a running GB rom, then you flash another rom.

Hi
I have samsung galaxy s1 and I tried to install a custom rom by the odin, I did it few times already but this time I encountered a problem.
I wanted to install a new rom and a new kernel, I had a rom with no option for "install from zip file" in the recovery mode, so the first thing I did is to install the rom by inserting the CSC PDA and PHONE files.
Then, I installed a new kernel also by the Odin, speedmode 16,
Then I was trying to get into recovery mode to install my custom MIUI and I couldn't, the phone just refuses to get into the recovery mode.
I could get into download mode, and the phone is working just fine, but I dont have the recovery mode.
Now Im looking for a recommended rom stock to install a clear fresh installation, because I dont think I have another option, I would like to get a recomendation for a rom and for a kernel to fix this problem and to renew my phone.
Thanks
Just flash a cfroot kernel followed by miui and you are golden.

What's the error you're getting? Also, what are you flashing?
Here's what I suggest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930
Also, you shouldn't be flashing stock 2.1. Flash stock 2.3.5 instead (KK4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You'll need the bootloaders version since you flashed Eclair's bootloaders.
I was able to resolve my issue by connecting data cable to another usb port
