HELP! Possible Hard Brick - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a i9000 phone here that i decided to flash a new kernal to. I flashed speedmod to it. It was originally completely stock 2.2 except that it had root. Anyways i flashed new kernel in odin. The kernel flashed and the it looked to be right, except it wont power on. the only thing i can do is get into download mode. any ideas.

find stock ROM and flash it with odin! its not bricked. connect it to odin and flash whole ROM the same way as u did with kernel.
use the search option to find the stock flashable with odin mate.

Try and flash again friend. Im sure it will work out
If that doesn't work then download the file again and flash the phone
Good Luck
P.S. PM me if u can't get it

GB bootloaders with root

What Odin/One click package should i download to get root with GB bootloaders with CWM and flash zip file roms only? So i can flash roms like Fasty III and others? Which one is suggested for great battery life? Experts please
First off you don't need root to flash a rom. as for bootloaders use either a leak 2.3.5 i897 rom with bootloader or just the bootloader package. They are stickied in Dev section.
Can you please send me a link im new at all this but im learning i have Odin 3 v 1.81 and Odin v 1.81 ATT GB bootloaders extracted. I just want to be able to use download mode jig and plug in USB and go.
I have UCK H3 one click is that good enough to get started? Could i flash a rom in rom manager like fasty III im looking for fast and grt battery life.
KH3 1 click should be good. Don't use Rom Manager. Here you can find everything you will need. Just flash KH3 or any other GB leak, let it boot up normally, flash (with ODIN or SGS kernel flasher(app)) the boog's kernel that has CWM, let it boot up normally. Boot up in recovery and flash the rom.
Yea ive seen this which one should i pick and with or w/o bootloaders. 2.3 or 2.4.5 not sure? Just want the best one for speed and battery life and i like launcher pro.
I don't use launcher pro so can't say. But IMO KH3 or KJ3 would be my best (I still use KH3 modem). You need bootloaders so you can flash one with bootloaders.

SGS kernel flasher requires root. Which rooting involves a kernel swap with Odin anyway, so for this purpose its pretty useless.
I just flashed UCK H3 and while in process i checked flash bootloaders now im soft bricked. Will the download mode jig help? I have one i dont know what to do. It doesnt work. What can i do am i screwed? I have the soft brick symbols on my phone now.
Reboot pc, swap usb Ports (make sure its one on the back of the PC), right click Odin and ruin as admin, put .tar in pda slot, Pull battery, replace, use jig, ignore screen that appears, connect to PC if Odin recognizes it hit start.
Grt thanks ok i got the fish now what do i reboot or what and add kernel next? I still have Odin opened and USB plugged in
Disconnect, close Odin. Pull battery, replace, use jig, flash boog's kernel the same edu you flashed the fugu kernel.
Im getting a screen that looks like a TV screen all lines what the heck is that? Its boots to ATT logo then TV screen all colors and lines. I did the kernel it passed but not sure whats going on now. It keeps rebooting ATT screen and TV looking screen
... That sounds like you didn't flash correct bootloaders. Correct me if Im wrong. On a side note ya Studa I had a brain fart on SGS kernel flasher.
I can still get in download mod with jig. Cant i try a diffrent package in Odin?
Did you use KH3 with bootloaders?
Not sure what to do im trying the AIO toolbar and im enabled for root phone but seems like nothing is happeneing im still in download mode
that is froyo boots on a gingerbread ROM.
op flash this package
That will flash the gingerbread bootloaders which will get rid of those lines and make it possible to boot into recovery.
DO NOT USE AIO TOOLBOX AFTER THIS PACKAGE IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. might as well just delete that for safe measure.
Ok i was in recovery in rebooted phone now im at ATT screen logo no lines now. What do i do now is there a rom to flash or am i even rooted? Can i go into download mode and flash a kernel
Im staying at recovery till i hear back from someone lol. Where do i go from here?

Galaxy S wont boot

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!
How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google

(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

[HELP] My Phone Boot Loops!

There might be an answer somewhere in the forum, but i have no time searching (i would if i could) So please be nice and dont yell at me =[
So....
I used to have CF-Root Kernel installed with a xwjs8 rom installed.
Probably shouldnt have done it, but i upgraded my kernel to Semaphore 2.5bm using odin.
after that my phone didnt boot.... Decided to use odin again and flash semaphore jvt 1.8 and installing a jvt rom. Everything worked...
But i had no recovery mode... tried flashing CWM... It just didnt work.
After surrendering i just flashed the old kernel that worked, and now, my phone just refuses to boot, or go into recovery =[
I can still get in download mode...
Is there a way to just go back to a stocky begining...? just so ill know my phone isnt bricked for life.
Thanks in advance.

You have to flash a rom via odin. Look if a odin version of your favored rom is available, otherwise flash darky's resurrection rom or some other odin-rom. After that flash the rom that you want to run on your phone again.
First try flashing a semaphore .tar as pda, in Odin this usually gets recovery back

My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?
that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom
