SGS only boots in to Recovery - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to upgrade to a new Mintberry MIUI ROM and my phone got stuck in a bootloop. After flashing a .pit and the EZ GB bootloaders via Odin, then a Galnet MIUI Chameleon ROM, my phone still will not start properly - it keeps booting into Recovery Mode only (I can get in to Download mode if necc), and that's it. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to resolve this? When trying to restore a previous backup I just get an error message about a bad checksum and this fails as well.
Starting to fear the worst!
I have a NEO kernel.zip and a couple of MIUI.zip ROMS on the sdcard, but whatever I try I can only get the phone to boot into Recovery.

Flash it with Odin. Something must have went wrong somewhere.

Remove the battery and keep it for few min and boot into download mode
then you can install any one of odin base ROMs
For stock rom

First of all, I just suggested that.
Second of all, why would you link to another site for guides on how to flash custom ROMs? This is XDA Developers. There are more than enough tutorials here. The OP just needs to utilize that new search feature they implemented just yesterday.

[Q] Galaxy S hangs on bootscreen, no recovery mode after flashing

Hi,
I recently flashed a new rom (ultimate galaxy s v.7) from xda, and I flashed it via clockwork.
clockwork installed it and I rebooted, and it seemed to hang on the lockscreen for an abnormally long amount of time.
when i take the battery out and try to boot into recovery mode, it flashes to black then shows the galaxy s boot again.
previous to flashing this rom i have cleared the cache and all data on the phone. i have a nandroid backup so if i could get back to clockwork recovery this would be helpful.
also previous to flashing this rom i had a 3 UK rom which i installed by accident via kies, running 2.1...this rom seemed to be quite resistant to installing another rom from kies.
help would be MUCH appreciated...
thanks in advance
so recovery mode isnt an option then ?
What about Download mode ?
Hi,
Download mode worked before.
I have now managed by some miracle to get into recovery mode and now have gained options about a speedmod universal lagfix.
Is this associated with clockwork / ultimate 7.0 rom / a sign that the rom has installed in some form, and should i reboot, or should i now do a nandroid back to the rom i had before?
I believe speedmod uses CWM, so you can just do the rollback to your previous rom

however would it be safe to reboot, as i'm currently in recovery mode and considering to do a nandroid OR alternatively reboot and see if the new rom starts up..
well u cant leave it in recovery mode forever lol, reboot it, if it doesnt come on, try recovery mode again or just flash another ROM thru ODIN
ok. how long do you think is a reasonable time to wait before concluding that the rom doesn't work and I should nandroid back to my old rom...?
Half an hour gives plenty of time .
jje
what would be the reason that it hangs on the galaxy s bootscreen?
could be anything.... installing process not completed properly. best to just re flash .

do you mean recover via nandroid or reflash the same rom, then leave it?
choice is yours, ive never restored using nandroid so dunno what its like. but try it first, if no success re flash using odin. u will lose all your data

[Q] Having problems getting into recovery mode

I am having a very hard and frustrating time trying to get into recovery mode. Basically I installed a ROM today that was very unstable, and when I go to rom manager trying to flash a different ROM the screen just goes black any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

Unless u wanna flash AOSP roms (CM or MIUI) or maybe froyo roms stay away from that app. To get to recovery the easiest would be to flash a kernel with cwm backed in. Download this package http://www.mediafire.com/?tx56ypyw8wx4c8n. Open ODIN_Kernel_Flasher in 2 - Kernel folder, add Kernel.tar to PDA, uncheck auto reboot, Connect your phone in download mode to PC and hit start. Once complete pull the battery and reboot your phone in recovery mode. Wipe data (factory reset), cache and dalvik cache and then flash a rom of ur choise. In case u'd want a GB (gingerbread) rom coming from stock or froyo rom first u'll HAVE TO flash gb bootloaders before the rom. U'll find the gb bootloader flasher in the package u downloaded, check out the readme file as well.
Now something else is going on with the phone. It was fine and charging when I went to bed now the freaking thing is stuck in a boot loop =(, the odin version you told me to download will it also fix this issue? Or do I need a different one?
If u can get it into download mode ur all fine, as for which Odin, u'll find everithing ur looking for in that package I've linked. Once extracted go trough the readme file.
Edit: which rom did u come from and which one did u flash last?
I came from an obsession rom which was the unstable one, flashed to darkys rom. I still can not get it into recovery mode I will give the odin link you posted a try thanks for all of your help

Hi,
after flashing from TeamRocket ICS 1.3b (which worked very well for me) to MIUI 4 Note v8 to get Livewings Edition ( I used cwm for that, but did all wipes properly) I stuck at the Logo mentioned in the threadtitle.
The problem is now: I cant get out of this.
cwm works fine, but I cant start any Rom. Tried to flash several ones, but I still keep stucking...
Has someone an idea ?

Use the above method i mentioned. It should work.
If nothing works then flash any rootable rom via PC Odin and you will be back to stock and then can root again and flash any other rom of your choice! Check out Dr Ketan's guide in the stickies post in development section of note forum !
got also the same predicament, just stuck in Samsung Galaxy N7000 bootup logo screen after I went to the recovery mode to format/system, format/cache..
I tried to follow the instructions actually on how to upgrade my CheckRom RevoHd v5 to Version 6...
The instructions were to format /system and format /cache... then copy the ROM to a new folder in the internal SD card...
Now the question is.. how can I copy the CheckRom RevoHD version 6.zip if I can't even boot back in recovery mode..
when I booted back.. it just stucks on that bootup logo screen.. ..
Bro how much time did you wait ? I was having the same problem! At least thats what i used to think... But turns out that the first boot takes REALLY long... took me approx 25 mins with rocketrom v22

to boot in recovery press and hold volume up home button and power button all at same time in any screen and keep pressing till the time the samsung logo again shows up. Then leave the buttons...it should now boot in recovery.

I already did that sir but It would really not open up recovery mode. I can however go to Download mode(with the Volume down) but what good is that anyway, right?
anyway, I have already fix my issue by reflashing it back via PC Odin...
I guess its either the instructions of flashing to the new version of CheckRom RevoHd v.6 is pretty much vague (though I really followed it to a tee) or simply the instructions are not that just well emphasized...
can you direct me to the rom you flashed via odin?

edit solved: forgot to flash csc aswell
see my sig
what you need now to download a GB custom kernel then flash it with the current cwm: then do the following to get it right and rooted ics
1-right after flash the GB kernel go to advance and then reboot recovery.
2-boot into the new recovery flash any custom rom like darkynote.
3-bootup get mobile odin and get the chainfire repack ics LP1.
4-start mobile odin flash the chainfire repack and make sure all the boxes are ticked and wipe data also ticked.
5-after the flash is done it will reboot auto in to cwm flash the miui and all is done.
this log steps I'm telling you to follow so you won't encounter the banry count and yellow triangle.

Hi all. I also have the same problem. Initially I'm using LiquidSmooth rom. And then I went to Criskelo rom to try the rom...and didn't like it. And I tried to restore to LiquidSmooth and failed. Now I'm stuck in bootloader and when I try to flash anything on CWM, it hangs. Even if I leave it for awhile on the menu, it'll hang too. What should I do?
Stuck on Samsung Startup Screen
I tried various Stock Roms, but unable to go ahead of Samsung bootcreen. I can get into recovery menu & also download screen, so I assume my Note is not bricked. However I tried to flash old directly rootable GB ROM, ICS ROM, Latest GB ROM(Wipe) but nothing works. While flashing latest GB ROM "N7000XXLC1 (Wipe)" ODIN was stuck in data.fs, so flash was incomplete, In other ROMS flash was complete but I was stuck on Startup screen. I tried flashing "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" file also but no luck. I also flashed Abyss Note Kernel 3.9 & 4.2 in ICS ROM, but I don't know how to flash this kernel in GB ROM as I'm unable to get into external memory card where I transferred kernel zip file. Please help me save my Note.

Download/Recovery Mode ok, BUT cannot bootup

I was running on froyo before I started process, and now I cannot boot up. This is what I did:
First I used the step 1 in the cyanogenmod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) to install the ClockworkMod Recovery, everything is fine, until the final reboot step. after the ATT screen, the screen get into total unrecognized mode, and the unit will restart, and so on and on, in a loop.
Then I tried to use the speedmod-K13E with GB bootloader one click, and I still can't get into the system, but now it just stuck at the Galaxy S samsung screen, after the ATT screen, and no loop, just stuck.
Any suggesstions? Is there a stock rom I can restore back to using the external sd card? the internal sd card currently only has the cyanogenmod 9 on it. I have going through the different posts for the past two days, got really confused. If someone can point me to a step by step guide, or something similiar, really appericiated.
BTW, the recovery mode has the following:"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK
I'm on windows 7 32bit. And I donot need to save any data on the phone. It can be wipe clean.
Did u try rebooting into cwm recovery and try to re install the rom again ?
U may need GB bootloaders as well for cm 9 (?? I'm not sure though)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If you still want to run cm9 try flashing a more recent kernel inn recovery. look in the Dev section for glitch kernel or devil kernel (i like devil) they have a more recent version of cwm that should work. I haven't used this method with cm9 but it worked with aokp.
Sent from phone with app
well.. my advice is try reflashing to the stock rom using the one click in this thread [Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED
(kk4 reccomended)
download one of the odin one click there, and flash your rom back to stock gingerbread, oh yeah, choose the rom without the bootloader.
if that doesn't get you anywhere, please reply to my post.

You should be good to go. You should be on GB bootloaders. Just reflash CM9 in CWM.
Solved.
For some unknown reason, I can net get ODIN to communication with my device, I tried multiple device, and it seems ODIN just does not work.
I used the 3rd post in your link, with Heimdall I successfully installed the KK4 and then I used the cyanogenmod wiki again, this times it works. It seems the old stock rom won't work for the wiki, must use the new stock rom.
Thanks for all the helps, guys.

Starting to get worried - bootloop [RESOLVED] :D

I was following the official cyanogen mod wiki guide and everything was fine up until step 6. I couldn't boot into recovery mode, but I could boot normally. So after turning the phone off to try again, I realized I am now stuck in a boot loop. I can boot into download mode perfectly but now ODIN doesn't recognize when the phone is plugged in. Should I be worried? I have no idea what to do..
Thanks in advance, if you need more info feel free to ask!
Original problem (bootloop) was solved by using Heimdall, as was every subsequent problem I encountered in this thread. Many thanks to all!

Don't worry, it doesn't sound bad.
Can you enter CWM recovery? If yes, wipe 3 times (data/factory reset - cache - dalvik cache under "advanced") and reboot. It should do it.
If only download mode is accessible, you must flash a stock ROM with PIT file which will do proper re-partition of the /system again, root it and install CWM. After that you can flash again CM10.2. Don't use the CM site, use the thread of developer pawitp, just flash also compatible Gapps version right after the rom while still in recovery.
Best stock ROM as basic for clean flashing of CyanogenMod seems to be Froyo with SpeedMod kernel. Check this thread, all download links are there and working. If it helps you, post in that thread that it worked:

Is USB debugging enabled?
Otherwise, leave your i9000 turned off, run Odin and prepare all files first and turn the i9000 on into download mode just short before connecting and flashing. The i9000 has kind of "sleep mode" in download mode so if you run it into the download mode and wait few minutes, nothing will happen anymore.
also try a different USB socket on your computer
Samsung kies is killed???
No amount of port/wire changing seemed to work with Odim. However I followed a tut on youtube to flash with Heimdall, and my phone finally booted up with froyo 2.3.3
My original plan was to downgrade from Cyanogen mod, which my older brother put on a few years ago. The phone was beginning to lag and stuff, so yesterday I finally decided to do something about it. The PLAN was, to downgrade to froyo, and then upgrade to Cyanogen mod 10.2, however after getting froyo, my phone went a boot loop (hence this thread).
So I'm asking you all, what is my next step? I'm usually not this helpless, but I can't afford to screw this up again, and I'm honestly a bit scared to try anything without your say. As I said, I am now on froyo2.3.3, and the phone seems okay.
I'm looking through the file manager, and there's loads of cyanogenmod files in the root directory from before. I sorta wanna clean everything out before upgrading. Where should I go from here?

Excellent BTW, 2.3.x is Gingerbread, not Froyo. Upgrading to CM10.2 from Froyo with SpeedMod kernel works very well. Here is a step-by-step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308
You are good adviced to read carefully, not just briefly. So you will void problems.
It could be, that your Samsung USB driver hasn't been installed properly. Installing Heimdall drivers has removed Samsung USB driver from my PC some months ago so be sure to have all working before flashing any new build.
If you flash now some Froyo build over your Gingerbread, you don't need PIT file and re-partition. Leave that field empty and don't touch any Odin options (re-partition will remain unchecked). Use compatible Odin version.

You're a hero! So I am now following that guide, and here are the steps I think I need first;
Root & install CWM recovery: turn off your i9000 and download speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar
Run Odin as admin, set "speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar" under PDA. Reboot and reset time checked, re-partition unchecked(!!)
start your i9000 in download mode with 3-button-combo and connect it via USB cable
if <Added!> and ID:COM port number are displayed in Odin, click on "Start"
after only few seconds kernel will be flashed and your i9000 will automatically reboot
Enjoy, now you can install zips of the CM build and compatible gapps for it via CWM recovery, SpeedMod kernel features CWM version 2xxx so after first attempt to install CM.zip it will upgrade just the CWM recovery to version 6xxx, so after that you can really flash the CMbuild.zip
How would I go about doing this process with Heimdall, as Odin is really not an option anymore
you could also try Mobile Odin Pro (google it) then choose the flashing kernel from here http://ndroidplay.blogspot.com/2012/08/mobile-odin-flash-kernels.html?m=1 then just flash the custom rom from Mobile Odin.
EDIT: this is the flashing kernel for i9000 http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...9/9/8/7/MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
actually to use Mobile Odin i forgot you need a phone that working and can boot into the OS to install it so may not be an option for you.
After many hours of errors and whatnot, I have finally managed to upgrade my phone to Cyanogen Mod 11-20131207-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.
However, there's no play store!
Apparently I'm running android 4.4.1 and CM 11, therefore none of the gapp files are applicable?
I tried installing the latest one, only to get the error: (bad)
Did you use the latest nightly from today (20131208) ???
And the gapps for CM 11 ??? ==> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

I might write up a more in-depth tut later on for those as clueless to the scene as I am, however for now the whole process can be summed up in a few major steps;
Down/Upgrade to GingerBread (Android 2.3-2.3.2)
Root
Install ClockWorkMod
Wipe cache/data
