Thats the problem, when i try odin it get`s a big fat red fail!! And now it blinks in and out on connection... so it`s not steady enough connection to flash anything...
Also gave this a shot, but no go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926

Search the forum for ODIN. That should put you on the right track. You should be able to flash a firmware to the phone and have a fresh start

You need to acquire the firmware separately from http://www.samfirmware.com and use odin to flash it onto your phone. Read PM.

The best way to get back up is use odin and reflash stock eclair ROM from download mode.

thx for any kind of help!

good luck
** As your gunna re-flash, Have you not considered a new custom ROM altogether ? plenty to chose from on this site. **
I suggest you follow the above link and flash to stock. It's very simple.. takes me 10 mins to get back to stock and up and I have only done this 2 times. There are people who do it several times a week.
I suggest you go for Darky's 8.0 ROM if you're new. It's one of the best.

[Q] Help!

Hy guys , sorry if there was another post like this , but i did not have the time to read all the posts . Until a few month ago , i had a friend that helped me to upgrade my firmware and now i can't ask him no more to help me out .
I have a 2.2 fw version , but i don't know exact what version it is , it is with froyo_doc_v7.6.2_jpa.xwjpa . That what it says in "about phone" . I would really like to upgrade my firmware because i am sure that a new one is up , and i can't do that in Samsung Keys because the present one is a custom one .
So , from the bottom of my heart i ask : Can you help me by explaining step by step what to do to upgrade to a new firmware that could be much better ?like ... stability and performance ? And not mess up my phone?
Thank you very much .
P.S. : Sorry for my bad english
doc's roms are very good and stable,
head over to www.romkitchen.org and make one there yourself (easy peasy)
considering you are on custom ROM i assume you will have 2e / CWM recovery, to boot into this you need to power off the phone, Hold volume up + Home button + power button all at the same time.
anyway download your ROM from the above link, place in on the root of your sd card, and boot into recovery, go to apply update from sd card > choose update from sd card > 'Your ROM name here' then select that and select YES,
your phone will do the rest
Ok , but how do i know which one is the newest from the list that it is provided to me over there? How do i know which one is the best? Is there a android 2.3 or something? or .. 2.4?

I really think you need to read at least the stickies and the FAQs before you go much further...if you can't work out that v11 is probably newer than v9, and are looking around for android 2.4, please educate yourself before you ask someone to hold your hand and walk you step by step through bricking your phone.
The order is supposed to be search, then read, then ask...not just ask because you can't be bothered to read anything.

ok there are standard released firmwares available from samfirmware.com
as long as you can put your phone in download mode (Reboot holding the power, down volume and middle buttons at the same time) you should be able to use these with a program called odin3 (you want version 1.7).
These are all official stock firmware releases or early leaks of of new samsung firmware.
I do not believe there is an official release of a 2.3 firmware yet but there are some leaks and the SGS II is being released this coming week so I would guess official firmwares are either imminent or might even be available (they were then they werent again so I dont know for sure)
Stock firmwares are simple to install with odin as long as the custom rom you are does no have features like lag fixing enabled.
all you do is connect up your phone in the download mode mentioned above select the full firmware file by pressing the pda button and nabvigating to the file you got from samfirmware.com. make sure this is the only file checked. (no pit, no modem, no csc etc) make sure the only boxes checked are auto reboot and f:reset time
push start and wait about 5 minutes later you'll have a stock device.
if this goes wrong in anyway or you have lag fix or other stuff and you want to reset this first, download darkyy's ressurection rom do everything exactly the same as above only also select the pit file that comes with darkyys and also select repartition. get that working and then flash the stock rom as desicribed above.
I have had no issues when I have followed this procedure all my issues start when I deviate from this.
@ rschenck thank's but you have to understand that some of us work from early in the morning to the night , and i don't have the time to stay and read all the sticky posts and all the posts.
@ curioct : Thank you very much for the info . I will try to folow the steps .
But .. i don't know if i have lag fix . I think i do , and if i do omg , i have to instal darky's rom , and after that what?

Thats ok but your risk is vastly increased to damage your phone if you dont understand .

Dont install anything .
You have a custom rom undo any lagfix build a rom in rom kitchen and flash it .

Open up Kies, and hook your phone up to the PC. See if Kies will recognise your phone. If it does, format your internal sd card. Then disconnect the phone, drop the battery, put it back in and see if it will boot.

[Q] Bricked My Phone :-(

Hi
I tried to upgrade my phone, I9000s, from 2.3 to 2.4 this afternoon via Odin and it has gone wrong and I think I have bricked the phone.
I cannot get into download mode now, I could before after bricking, but not now, and all I get is the phone and computer symbols.
Can anybody advise me what I do next.
I am in the UK
Thanks
2.4 rom for i9000? I think that you' ve done something terribly wrong...

If you tried to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and you got screwed bootloaders, you might need to take your phone to service. But try reading this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975. Hope you get your phone up&running again

u mean from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. so the mistake is
when u turmed ur phone to download mode and connect to pc . Odin didnt regonized ur phone and u press start ? as many ppl want flash fast .
so try this
1st : Move ur battery out . plug ur phone to recharge w/o battery if ur screen turn on . then press vol down+home+power . if not do the same with battery .
if those doesnt work check the :
2nd : remove battery . open Kies to ur PC plug ur phone with USB cable to connect with ur pc , w8 some mins to regonize ur phone if ur screen trying to get on plug the battery to ur phone to recharge via pc then try to get download mode . if nothing of those doesnt work for u then u must
3rd Buy USB JIG from ebay or get ur phone to service (if u had rooted phone u will pay)
It happened to me before...
The only solution was buying a jig on ebay to unbrick the phone.
Before that i sent my phone to repairs and it was solved.
Good luck

The little compute symbol with the arrows is a version of download mode. It is the emergency flash mode and odin should still recognize it and u should be able to flash a full firmware that had bootloaders
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
its really rare to screwed ur main bootloader on the SGS.. maybe you could buy the jig but i`ve never tried the jig but maybe you could try to take out your battery and wait a couple of minutes.. maybe half hour to be safe, before you try to switch on your phone.. but after you place back the battery make sure you doesnt touch any button except the 3 button combo for download mode.. i`m not sure why but that has been the case for me when i got screwed during flashing new rom when i push other button such as the home button before the 3 button combo the phone just didnt respond..

Hi
Thanks for all the replies, sorry I have not been back on.
Not sure how I managed it, but I got back to the point of the yellow download symbol again and flashed the stock 2.3 Gingerbread I had on file.
All is now working again but it is showing as 2.3.4.
Something has obviously got mixed up though, as I am in the UK and now have Swisscom on start up and close down.
It all appears to be working ok and after a while I managed to root it again.
I suppose I should really looking in to flashing it again so I don't have the Swisscom coming up, but I will leave it as it is until I feel a little more brave after my near miss.
Thanks again.

Hi
Could somebody point me to the correct version of 2.3.4 for the UK for me to flash.
I have had another look at Samfirmwares but I am still unsure of the correct version for the UK.
Also, on checking my phone, it is marked as CSC unkown, it that something I need to worry about.
Thanks

Use Galaxy Mini from USA in Germany

so simply download a greman firmware from sammobiles.com and flash via odin... and many tutorials r there on how to flash the firmware. also there is no need to unlock the bootloader like in htc or sony... samsung devices already have unlocked bootloader.
so===
flash german firmware via odin
install CWM via odin or recovery method
and install any custom rom from this community
cya..
I just want to get that phone into German language. No need for custom ROM.
I'll try in the next days...
Thank you guys!

nah the L just is the depiction its from that country, like gts-5570B...where B stands for brazil.
so u can try any package..
download tar files from here... u can blindly trust this site
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
search for the phone using its model, and download the latest 2.3.6 of any region, but i recommend u to try the baseband of ur region.
I have already tried the firmware from sammobiles.com
S5570XWKS7_S5570DBTKS1_DBT
its 2.3.5
2.3.6 isnt available there.
I get the error message i mentioned before eben by flashing this ROM.
But do i need Kies for anything else then for drivers?
I dont have Kies installed on my PC...
I read that Kies is only needed if the mobile isnt recognised in Odin!?

Hmm, ok
But the phone was deteced by odin correctly and it was flashed with the "PASS" Text.
Well im downloading Kies and trie to flash again the ROM
S5570XWKS7_S5570DBTKS1_DBT
so u can take it out.. and boot into recovery, wipe cache and data. boot into android
You don't have to root if flashing a new stock rom. Just head over to samfirmware.com and choose your device type and area(Germany) and you'll get your Odin flashable package right away

It was only the wipe i forgot
