yes there is!!!
but with odin though( which is unfortunatley the hard way )
but before i tell you the odin way..............
feast your eyes on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLYkMk16la8
first flash xwjm8 with odin
Then flash your region's eclair firmware. From there you know the route.
Wish you all the best.
thank you, i shall give it a try right now

oh well u didnt turned on ur debug mode u adb wouldnt read ur phone, the best treatment for that is to flash ur phone with Official Roms, theres nothing to worry about if u can still go to download mode and if odin can detect ur phone
whats bells firmware called?
Hey,
I'm new to android.
I thought I've read up on everything I'm doing. Making sure to read the threads carefully.
I've rooted my captivate and tried to put OCLF. It said it was successful, except now when my phone was rebooted it shows:
device name (samsung i896)
rogers screen
galaxy s screen
then it goes black and vibrates every so often
I've tried searching and can't seem to find what I need.
If anyone can help, I can boot my phone into recovery mode, but thats about it. Nothing works in there right now,
Can anyone help me get this fixed, or back to the stock rogers firmware that would be great
Thanks!
you can try to use key combination to get into the download mode and flash the stock rom.
if you cannot get into the download mode, my suggestion is to build a jig or buy one:

you can try to use key combination to get into the download mode and flash the stock rom.
if you cannot get into the download mode, my suggestion is to build a jig or buy one just in case:

I can get into download mode and recovery mode.
I'm kind of lost on flashing back to the stock rom. I'm looking at other threads on how to do so, but something isnt working when I try.
Someone please help!
I'm experiencing the same problem even after flashing Rogers stock (2.1 and 2.2) with Oden and Heimdall. All flashing indicates they were successful; however, I still get the black screen, lit touch icons, and vibrations after the three boot screens/animations.
EDIT: Problem was solved for me by flashing a stock file that contained dbdata.rfs and param.lfs with 512.pit and repartitioning. The Odin flashable Rogers 2.1 stock ROM I put together can be found here. Because it is complete, it will also remove the AT&T boot screen if you flashed an AT&T ROM.
im apparently having the same problem with ma GF's phone -

Have you tried flashing AT&T or Rogers stock?
I was rooting my i9000 on 2.3.3 with this CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS and had a power cut midway.
My phone now is just displaying a black screen with a small pc and mobile phone with red exclamation triangle between them.
Can anyone please advise how I can restore?
Any help appreciated.
first pull the battery: let it sit 5 minutes. Then use the 3 button mode and go into download mode, re-initiate the flash of the kernel for rooting. If that fails, repeat but flash stock frmware first.
Its a soft-brick...
Go back to download mode and flash again...

Thanks lads that did it, got back to download mode.
But when i try to re-flash with cf-root it just hangs at zimage, even though right boxes have been ticked and i'm using tthe right firmware corresponding to mine which is JVO.
Any reason what could cause this and anyother way to get beyond the download mode.
You can try flash stock rom, or just get the stock kernal if you dont want to loose anything
I dont think stock kernal deletes your apps, definitely not int sd
...flash stock frmware first.
Flash stock firmware first and let it go all the way to full boot where you can see that everything works well again. Then go back to download mode and flash the rooting kernel on PDA, you should bee fine after that.

Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?
Ok i put my device into download mode with picture then flashed my i9000 with http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1160580
i now know this was the wrong FW for my device since then i cannot boot my phone normally nor get into download mode with the picture
it works fine just if i pull battery or turn off the phone
all i get is a black screen with "home & back buttons lit up"
however when i attach my device to odine it recognizes the phone first time
i dont have to do anything, i've tried flashing stock FW
same result black screen buttons lit up no DL mode with pic no boot
i've tried flashing FW with sbl success odine tells me,
no luck again, also when i try to flash 3 files
it always hangs then fails on modem, however if i flash allinone it works
but only boots with odine & not on its own & without samsung boot image
i can flash modem on its own via psa tab with success, i've also tried the jig to get into normal DL mode, but to no avail
also when i plug usb cable in & take out battery phone turns off
its like the usb is not a power source, ive tried on my laptop, ac adapter & pc all same result
to summerise:
i can flash my phone however if i turn off device i it will not boot
on its own & have to reflash via odine but with no boot logo only sounds
im thinking the only solution is samsung service centre but i can hazard a guess the price of a new mobo will prob be the same as the phone its self secondhand on ebay
any ideas? thanks
P.S when i flash 2 or more files i use pit 512, what if i didnt use a pit or used a different one would it make a difference?
P.P.S kies does recognize device once its flashed but cant find any updates on FW
would doing an emergency restore with an .sbu file fix this boot issue?
& where could i get an .sbu file from as i didnt do a backup
Did you also check “repartition“ in odin when you flash with the pit file?
It sounds like you've toasted the bootloader flashing a wrong firmware. But since you can get Odin connected and flash you might be able to recover.
You'll need to flash a stock firmware with bootloaders, Darky RE should have bootloaders. Follow the instructions on the page.
Good luck
In fact if you can't go into DL mode you can use a thing called JIG repair.
you'll need a 300K resistor (which exactly 301K) and a micro-USB plug.

Unbrickable mod will fix it.

What ansonscleung linked to is a Jig, Jtag is something completely different all together. If Odin won't recover your phone, I can't guarantee the jig will work. Although it will help getting to download mode and maybe help flashing the proper firmware.

If you can boot into recovery "home + vol up + power", wipe data, and cache and reboot. Might fix it
does anyone have a basic .sbu file with no data on that i could use with kies?
would it work?

You're correct, guy. A JIG cost about HK$15.5 ($15 for a Micro USB port and $0.5 resistor) (approx. US$1.99 €1.5 not incl. transportation fee) or spend US$8 here.
Hope you can pass through those stuff and enjoy back your phone!

Do you get the Galaxy S logo when the phone is turned on? If you do then your bootloaders are now OK and you can boot into recovery and flash a CWM ROM.

i've researched that method, i know little about soldering
and asked in a phone shop & they knew nothing about it
so i wouldn't attempt it as i would probably screw it up
