I was trying to root my SGS i9000 (UKG3, Bell Canada) and have (hopefully) soft bricked it. I am getting the phone!computer icon, but can enter download mode. Can't enter recovery mode. Kies doesn't recognize the phone but Odin does (Com lights up).
I want to get everything back to stock - does anyone know how to do that? Thanks,
S
Hi, you must use odin to reflash.
heres a link to ramads thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226138
Just go to samfirmware.com and download latest version of android, that is jvr 2.3.4 and flash it using odin! Use odin 1.3 android + sl
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
Success! Thank you very much, Robert!
You can download the stock ROM from www.samfirmware.com, My suggestion is to use custom ROM like Darky v10.2RE. The installation procedure you can see in my signature.

I wanted to root my Samsung galaxy s i9000 (gingerbread) so i followed the procedure that i found on the dkszone "How To Root Samsung Galaxy S On Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread I9000 XXJVK ROM" (I can't post a lik). It looked like it worked but after I turned on wi fi it started rebooting constantly. I removed the battery and reinserted it. After I turned it on, it was the same situation (rebooting). I than flashed it with odin founded on tread "Stuck on main screen after root, keeps rebooting" on this site (pit512 was uploaded with PIT button, repart was chacked).
Now it is dead! Please help me.
Flash 2.2 with bootloaders, then flash Stock 2.3 or any 2.3 rom
if you cant get into download mode u have to try it via jig-method to get into download mode.
if you're in download mode reflash with some stock-rom or darkys ressurection-rom.
be sure you tick on repartition and use the 512-pit file.
u may follow this guide: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-darkyrom-gingerbread-jvh-noob-friendly.3080/
IT WORKED!! I managed to flash it with ginger ROM for SGS. The problem was to get into the download mode.
Thanks guys.
Hi I am still running Android 2.1 on my galaxy S I9000. Can I just flash 2.3.3 rom directly? Or I need to flash 2.2.1 first then 2.3.3?
You have to download a Gingerbread-ROM with bootloader like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Just put the three files (PDA, CSC, Phone) into Odin, place a PIT-file into PIT-field, tick Re-Partition, enter download mode on your Galaxy, connect it with your PC and press 'Start'.
You can find a detailed flash guide in the thread above.
go to gingerbread directly.. if u dont want to flash via odin use kies and recieve the latest update(much safer and hassle free for beginners)..

Hello im attempting to Root my SGS so i can eventually install a CM7 Nigtly on it but im running into to problems EVERYWHERE.
I have flashed a SGS last year when it was on eclair and had no problem at all but no matter what i try i cant root or flash 2.3.3
According to the *# key combo to find out firmware i have
PDA: I9000BUJV9
PHONE: I9000BUJV3
CSC: I9000GVODJV5
i tried rooting using fuguroot and heimdall but got "Failed to access device -12", tried using odin and it failed. i even tried gingerbreak and nothing.
Can someone point me to a thread that will let me root my phone so i can put CWM onto it then CM7.
Sorry this is such a messy question i have been trying to make it work for getting on for 12 hours.
See this link (http removed cause i only have 6 posts) for my Version information - desmond.yfrog.com/Himg611/scaled.php?tn=0&server=611&filename=rfw.png&xsize=640&ysize=640
Hmmm...
Download 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 or whatever GingerBread firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.
Let say you downloaded 2.3.5. You flash it via Odin with .pit file & with re-partition ticked. Then you go to developement section, you pick one of the Kernels with JVT support and flash it via Odin (put the kernel you downloaded to PDA box)
Then you have rooted SGS and you can try Recovery mode by pressing Vol up + Menu button + power button at the same time when the phone is shutted down. press the buttons until you see SGS logo.
Hope this helps you.
If you have any questions, you can drop me a PM
I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.
Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.
Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.

Hi,
I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum
It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:
1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.
2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).
4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.
I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.
any ideas
try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back

I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9000UGKG3
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3
Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3
So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.
do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .
I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry
Ok,So i bricked my SGS and i want to unbrick it. The closest way,i was told was to flash a PDA file. I did the same but still the phone is in a loop(Logo - CVM screen - Logo). So i want a firmware so that i can flash it with odin. Plz help.
I searched for GB Firmwares and found a collection of Firmwares in a thread by Ramad,but all links there are dead. Can anyone hook me up with a working link ?
Why do you want JVQ? If you just want to flash a firmware via Odin so that your phone worked, download this http://d-h.st/4nP , there is 3-file JW5 value pack, pi512, also Odin3 v1.85 and CF-Root kernel
Thanks a lot.. It worked and i managed to get hold of JVQ firmware as well.. but i am stuck at another problem now.. The wifi is not working.. it says turning on but it never really turns on.. not detectng any router nothng..
