HELP NO BOOT AFTER INSTALL Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition

INSTALLED Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition VIA CWM AND WHEN START TO BOOT MY SON TURNED IT OFF ,
NOW I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY ONLY DOWNLOAD MODE WORKING HOW TO FIX THAT
had no lagfix before install and flashed the phone before wit diferent roms without any problem

If your phone is able to go into Download mode, you should be fine.
You can use odin to flash stock eclair 2.1 onto your SGS. If you're not too sure how, have a look around the forum and there should be plenty of advice on how to go about it.
If, somehow, you can't find anything, reply here again and I'll see if I can help you out.

I haven't done the same thing but the result is pretty much the same, stuck with a boot loop after installing Bell provided Android 2.2 upgrade. I can now only get into download mode, could you guide me where I can the instruction to load the stock 2.1 firmware that contains the bootloader and where I can download the files so I can try to make it work again. Thanks

Everything you need, you should be able to find on http://www.samfirmware.com , including Odin (the software used for flashing) and some guides.
Be sure to download the firmware for your location ie. Europe, Asia, America.

Read darkys thread. Do the long install. Simple.
Also the first boot with darkys rom takes about ten mins. It says so on install instructions. People panic for no reason because they get impatient

Downloaded the firmware already but it is in a .rar password protected, I am looking for the .tar of the same file I9000UGJH2. Found another site with the .exe but not sure how to use this one with Odin, the exe autoextract, but the file does not contains the .tar file and cannot find the info on how to configure Odin with this. I Will continue my research. Thanks for the info

The password is different depending on which file you downloaded. Go back to samfirmware and see whether the file had a # or ## or neither.
# Pass = samsung-firmwares.com
## Pass = samfirmware.com

Just flash any stock firmware via Odin and you'll be fine.

Thanks all for your assistance, can't wait to leave work and try that.

thanks
i got it working again flashed with odin stock firmware

[Q] ODIN - Check image files !! Works for others though...

So I've downloaded the following kernels from a link here on XDA that should be swapping kernels to allow me root on my recently upgraded, stock ROGERS 2.3.3 Captivate. Odin is telling me to "Check image files !!" when I load the .tar files into the Select Intergrated Package (and yes, the one package switch is on). I opened the tar to double check it wasn't double-compressed.
What else would be giving me this problem? I'm using Odin 4.28. Curiously, it is showing my phone as detected, my phone IS in downloading mode, but Odin just says (Android) in the Title, no specific model. But it says it's found it on COM 6. <1> Added!! and Detected!!
It's when I load up the kernel tar's and try to start that it yells at me. Is this triggering anything in anyone's mind that I'm doing wrong? Or do I need to provide more info?
I am using Vista 32-bit (legit) on a Dell studioXPS. And I ran it as administrator.

never heard of ODIN 4.28. i think its only up to version 1.82 or so.
sounds like you are using the wrong ODIN

Yeah. That is def the wrong version of Odin. Download the i9000 bootloaders in my sig. Unzip it. Delete the pda.tar.md5 file. Use the included version of Odin (1.82 I think) to flash your kernel.

Alright, quick question - I accidentally flashed the phone, not the pda. I tried to flash the KH2 modem back via phone but ODIN failed. Kies is currently not detecting the phone, and so I decided to try flashing the PDA while I had it open and I would figure the modem out after. ODIN hung, so I closed it and rebooted out of downloading mode and got the Phone ! Computer error. So I figure now I have to flash back to the stock rom and start over again, but this time I would like some advice as to which step to take next. I downloaded I896UXKH2-HOMEBINARY.tar.md5 from another thread here. Can I flash this with Odin - and if so, which is the place to load it? Bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC? I have no PIT files.

Think it goes into the pda slot. Go back to the thread t you got it from and read the first post of the thread. Also restart your computer before trying to flash again.

can someone upload the modem.zip, please thank you

[Q] I need step by step instructions to go back to stock froyo and update via kies

Hello friends
I have searched and found a lot of threads but my obsession has not been solved.
I am on DDJPA indian GB flashed via Odin.I want to get back to stock froyo so that i can update to GB via odin.[Told u so!It is an obsession like having a perfect one!!! and i have a glimmer of hope that our Tab may get official ICS and i want it via kies but kies now does not recognise my Tab]
I have downloaded stock indian froyo[the one i had] from samfirmware.I have also downloaded flashing manual also from samfirmware.It says that i should flash pit file first with repartition and then remove battery & then go to download mode again to flash PDA tar file without repartition.
I am totally lost here.
I tried to flash with pit and PDA Tar file with repartition.It flashed successfully but when it boot was stuck at Samsung logo for about 30 minutes.[Should i have waited some more time at samsung logo flashing stage?]
Then i re-flashed with DDJPA GB tar with pit thro odin and revived the Tab.
Can anybody give me step by step instructions regarding how to flash via odin to get back to stock?

can't boot into recovery

After installing the lastest "S.U.R.F.A.C.E" ROM on my GT-I9000 I'm presented with the Galaxy S logo and nothing else,
Tried and tried vol up + home + power number of times now with no avail.
Everything was working fine before was able to boot into clockwork recovery ect, unfortunately I do not have a usb cable so can't try odin any help would be great.

Grab yourself a jig from ebay or the likes, or make one

It will boot into download fine the problem I have is it won't boot into recovery is there any way I can wipe it or does it look like I am in need of a cable?

Then reflash back to stock using Odin

What were you flashing from as surface is an oxeded rom, not dexeded.

clockwork recovery, i take it I messed up here so

No, meant what rom were you on before your flash? Stock?

oh sorry got the phone of a friend looked like a custom samsung rom, build version was easyprojectv2 if that rings any bells?

Looks like the problem was caused by trying to flash a odexed rom over a deodexed rom, or not having the correct bootloaders for the new rom. Normally before a flash I would return to stock (firmware from sammobiles.com) first via ODIN, do all the wipes, flash a kernel so you have a nice clean install to 'abuse'. Then I would add any custom rom from there be it by ODIN or by cwm.
Grab yourself a usb lead, nice clean flash and start again.

Ok so I've 3 file here:
APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CODE_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
KERNEL_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100803.pit (not sure if i need this as was in the root of the odin folder not the firmware?)
Where do the other 3 file go PDA PHONE CSC???

I am also stuck on the same front, i donwloaded rom from samfirmware but it only had PDA part and nothing else, please suggest which official rom should i download??

I would go this way mate, first grab JVT from sammobiles.com ( register first)
Flash that using ODIN
Comes with 3 files, CSC, PHONE and PDA
PDA file goes to PDA in ODIN
PHONE goes into MODEM in ODIN
CSC goes in CSC in ODIN.
Also select PIT file, should be 512 on the PIT section on ODIN, hit start and it will flash then reboot.
Then open ODIN again, connect phone and flash your KERNEL to the PDA section of ODIN.
Then grab this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117579
and flash using cwm.
Your then on JW1 all rooted and ready to play.

put the "APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar" file into the PDA and flashed it. Everything seems to be working fine might stick with the stock for a while never really needed to be rooted.

ok i just popped the SIM and have no network access when i tap on Mobile Networks in the setting it tells me to insert a SIM????

the firmware i had was wrong didnt have a modem. Downloaded a jvt as buttwad said flashed an now everything working perfect now. cheers mate!

Downgrade from ics

I want to go back to gingerbread am rinning Dark Knight rom any help plz

Why God .. why ...
Flash stock through ODIN or Heimdall and thats it

If you had to ask this, it's probably a good thing you're going back to stock.
Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!

why would you say that

Get stock ROM here.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=-1#modelsa
You need stock ROM (3 file stock ROM), Odin & Pit512.
1. Start ODIN.
2. Select the files into the relevant places in ODIN.
3. Click repartition.
4. Put phone into download mode.
5. Connect phone to pc.
6. wait for Odin to connect to phone.
7. click start.
8. wait for ODIN to finish & for phone to reboot.
You must have pit512 and click repartition as ICS uses a different file system to Gingerbread.
You may have a boot loop after doing this. I have had this occasionally. To solve this reflash with ODIN. This time make sure repartition is unchecked and don't flash pit file.
Sorry Screen shot says scs. I meant CSC.
