[Q] Mayor usb problem, after serval flashes - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
Have fallen into a greater problem. After some unlucky results with flashing new firmware/custom roms (darky), i tried to flash back on a custom rom 2.1 from 2.3.4.
to get a clean install.
On 2.3.4 i already had problems getting the phone connected, even on download mode with odin, mass storage or anything. Though i managed to treak the it by jumping between download mode and recovery mode some few times. It resulted in odin recognize the usb for a short time, enough to flash it back on 2.1
Now it wont connect in any way and kies neither. I've tried reinstall the usb drivers through Kies and updating + reinstall it, but no luck.
So dear experts, how can it be fixed?

[Q] Connection problem to odin after stock froyo rom flash

I've read and searched as much as I can but haven't seen anyone else have this problem.
I flashed Froyo XWJP6 using Kies and changing the registry entries and I am generally happy with the rom but I've seen others posted I wanted to try out. My problem is that I have so far been unsuccessful getting odin to connect when I go into the rom download screen (down+home+power). Odin and kies both connect when on the home screen.
I understand that since its Froyo with e3 recovery that update.zip files need to be signed so odin is needed to either install a new rom, install clockworkmod or install a kernel that has e2 recovery.
Is there any way I can get odin to connect or downgrade to e2 recovery without going through odin? Or any other solution to downgrade to 2.1 and start again?
It feels like i'm missing something but I don't have the experience to figure out what it is.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This happens to me every now and then as well.What I would do is to re-install the samsung usb driver in my laptop. After that, odin sees my phone again in DL mode.

Make sure you're connecting in the right sequence for odin.
- start odin with phone unplugged
- boot phone into d/l mode
- connect phone to pc via usb
thanks very much for replying. I tried a different computer and it seems to be a dodgy usb port/driver problem on my works computer I had tried originally.

Researched, unsure what to do...

I have a i9000m , I had Darkys Rom on it and it was running fine no signs of SD failure or anything but I was having trouble with my texting so I factory reset the phone. When I did that it went into an endless Galaxy S boot. So I got it into Download mode and tried to flash a JK4 Rom through Odin. It installed fine, but again endless boot. I read somewhere to try Eugenes Froyo 2.2 Rom and I installed that through Odin and my phone came back to life. Now I have some problems, I cannot get back into Download mode with 3 button combo, and big issue is that when I plug my USB in the phone shuts off immediately. Will not turn on at all with USB plugged in. I have USB debugging disabled. Whats happening? Can I possibly get back into download mode...is there anything I can do?

softbrick - halfdead download mode

Hey guys.
So I have a problem,
I was on darky's rom 10 and I have installed cyanogenmod7.
After that phone was woooow fast and great and everything...untill I decided to listen some tunes from external sd.
And so I have found out that I can't see external sd because I installed cyanogenmod on non froyo ROM.
Then I've tried to flash stock froyo but odin hanged a long time and I just restarted whole operation.
Now I have an icon ! that phone wants to connect to computer.
I can enter download mode with vol. down + home + power but it that state Odin cant see shiet. Only thing that can see phone in that state is windows (trying to install drivers and then fails!?) and kies (hanging on "connecting").
So, what are my options? Bricked for life? Or..... :S
k that symbol means connectivity issues, so try changing the usb port and if that fails try using another usb cable...run odin as administrator before trying all this!!
ok I've managed to get Odint to recognise it..
I've tried to flash froyo from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
and it doest boot, hangs at samsung/galaxy logo 4ever...
flashing darky's 9 resurection also gives no good thing.
just hangs on start samsung/galaxy logo/black screen in loop....
had the same problem as well and it was solved by plugging the usb cable at the back of the pc.
if that doesnt work try flashing other roms... you can find some tutorial on totallydubbed's youtube channel with the link of the rom in the description.

Hey ppl,
I've had an awful fight with this phone and my brain and stupid PC.
omg
So, I have tried to flash 2.2 and it worked, then tried to flash cyanogenmod and it worked (again) but I couldn't reach external sd (again).
So I said to myself...f*** this s*** I'm going on stock,
And I did,
firmware version
2.3.4
baseband version
I9000XXJVR
kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVR-CL425308
[email protected] #2
build number
gingerbread.xxjvr
This is what I have, and the problem I'm facing (again) is that phone or pc via USB can't recognise external SD.
Help please.
p.s. how can I easily go to cyanogenmod from here?
Kies is saying that "This version of the device cannot be updated."
Windows can't see either internal or external SD.
update;
I've installed Darky's 10.2 ressurection, something is very wrong with my phone.
Install went fine, rebooted ok.
Still no SD card, when I reinsert it, it says its blank or non supported format.
Tryed to reboot the phone and it just loops on darky's logo/animation.
Help?

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 upgrade issues

Hello,
I bought a used Galaxy S GT-I9000, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband I9000DTJG3, Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2, build ECLAIR.DTJG4
I thought, no problems, I will upgrade it, however, I haven't been able to do it so far.
First, I downloaded the latest Kies, installed the drivers, but then it told me that Kies 2 doesn't support I9000. I deinstalled it and downloaded Kies 1.5 but then it wouldn't let me upgrade (this device's version cannot be updated error). So, official update is a no go.
Second, I tried to access the download mode with volume up, home, power, but to no avail, neither with volume down, home, power, or volume up and down, power. So I found the way to reboot into download with adb instruction.
Now, when the phone is in download mode, I connected it and installed the driver from Heimdall. I tried flashing CWM through it, but it cannot connect.
I also tried flashing rom with Odin, but it recognizes the phone when it's turned on, however, once it's reboot into download, PC sees the device, but Odin doesn't recognize it, so I cannot update the software from here.
I hope that the above is detailed enough for someone to figure out what is wrong with the phone, and how can I update it at least to GB, but I prefer CM10.
Now it's really buggy, Facebook sometimes works, sometimes not, applications lag, and I know that Galaxy S is a good phone, otherwise I would've bought something else.
I have managed to root the phone via ADB, and I also installed ROM Toolbox. However, it shows no recoveries available and I don't dare try flashing ROM before I have access to a recovery, as my phone boots to recovery only via adb command, no 3button combination works.
I cannot find CWM Rom manager to install on my phone and flash recovery as I9000 is not supported.
Thank you greatly for your support.

Hello
I was running 2.3.6, rooted and working nice but I wanted to try to install custom rom.
First I tried to upgrade to JB, but since there is no official jb for my country i followed some post. Got the firmware, started flashing with odin but odin stuck at hidden image. power off, back to download mode, tried deleting image and flashing again but no luck. Then tried to go back to official gb so i could go back to my recovered rom so I used some other files from reverting to gb posts and then odin stuck at modem. Tried to go back to download mode to try something else but then it died. No reaction at all.
Tried getting battery out and plugging it to pc and then putting battery, pc message: U8500 usb rom / no driver found.
Is there a chance?
Thank you in advance. S advance.
Its in the shop. Thanks anyway
