I flashed i9000XXJVT a few days ago, and flashed Semaphore Kernel. Through the Semaphore app, I switched on every possible setting that I can find in there. After a while, the phone's rotation sensor seems to working haywire, causing my screen to always display in landscape mode, even if I use other launcher. So I read a forum and somebody said just reflash back with stock Rom.
So I do a factory reset through the Privacy option under Setting, but then my phone boot up like nothing was changed. So I tried to get into the recovery mode (CWM v3.0.0.5), did a wipe on data and cache partition. When I tried to boot back the phone, I got this error:

I tried to wipe the data and cache partition, but I think it does not do anything. Tried to go into mount and storage, but no other menu are available except mount Usb storage, and it failed too. Entered advanced menu and do a wipe dalvik cache, failed.
I thought of flashing everything using Odin. So I opened my Odin like usual with all the files loaded. Hooked up my SGS into Download mode, but Odin does not detect my phone. I checked many times with other usb ports, and also tried using other computer, but still not successful.
Now, I'm left with a phone that cannot be used. I have looked into other forums and solutions, but everyone would suggest to use Odin. If I can't even get Odin to detect my phone, how am I supposed to flash?
Help everyone. I have been doing this for 12 hours. Thank you in advance.
You should not wipe data, this has caused the problems, you should
Only wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Remove battery from phone for 3 mins, stop kies running on your PC, start phone in download mode, connect phone to PC, does it now connect?

I don't have Kies running in the phone. I had removed the battery for more than an hour. Tried to connect to Odin, but still cannot be detected.
What version of Odin are you running, you need to make sure kies is not running on your pc
Sent using TCP/IP
I tried almost every Odin I have. From odin3 v1, v1.3, v1.7, & v1.82. All not detecting the phone.
#Hated myself for not noticing not to wipe the data. Been doing a lot of flashing and yet a stupid mistake.
Do not connect phone until Odin is running.
Have you tried changing USB ports?
Also, Try re- booting the PC
Sent using TCP/IP
Tried that many times too. Sigh. Maybe it will be a paperweight now.
do you have kies installed on your PC, if do, delete it and download the latest Samsung drivers, reboot PC, try again, there are links to the latest Samsung drivers on xda

If this doesn't work, can you try another PC, it will need Samsung drivers (and phone in download mode)
Sent using TCP/IP
I will try it out first. Hopefully other PC will detect the phone.
Does not work as well. Hurm. Does it means that when I wipe the data on the phone, it changes the mounting system? Hence the reason why it never get to be detected by PC. Sigh. What a bad day. I thought of going out to enjoy the day but here I am, stuck to the phone.
If the phone can get into download mode, it should be OK to reflash using odin. Have you removed kies and installed latest Samsung drivers, and are using Odin 1.8.x when phone is in down load mode?

The exact same problem happened to me months ago, which was solved by installing Kies.
THX dude, if you install kies, Odin will use the Samsung drivers installed by kies, sometimes, kies doesn't play nice with Odin so you have to remove kies and install latest Samsung drivers on their own. Good point tho, you could install the latest version of kies, reboot PC and retry

Possibly try captivate drivers? I think I read somewhere.
Don't some roms work with different drivers.
Worth a try!
Guys, not working as well. I installed Kies, uninstall, reinstall, clean registry, hook usb, still nothing.
Hi,
Maybe you can try to install this driver:

Or you can install the driver of the SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Or change the cable ! (like this person with the same problem)

"I tried every single port, then i went and got my mom's cable and tried it, first try it picked up my phone installed everything and now im running Odin, Successfully! i think... i think i love you"
Wicked, by there way, new Samsung drivers have been released see post in xda

Hi, this morning my SGS seemed to have crashed during the night (black screen). Now I cannot boot anymore:
- Turn power on
- Splash screen
- After a minute or so it vibrates once, then later three times (as with some program crashing)
- Screen goes black
- It then stays in some loop of vibrating once and then three times forever
What I have tried:
- Factory reset (volume up+home+power)
- Clear cache and al data
- Remove battery for hours
- Charged battery to 100% and tried factory resets
- Reflash via Odin (Phone is not recognized by Odin)
- Emergency install via Kies (phone is not recognized by Kies)
I have standard ROM (I think JPY), it is rooted.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks!
this is exactly what happened to my phone yesterday... would appeciate any ideas as well

Yes, I tried to connect to Odin (after switching the phone to download mode with Volume down+home+power, but Odin does not see my SGS.
What is cwm?
Thanks!
For odin: check if you have drivers on pc for your sgs
CWM is clockworkmod recovery. It is a custom recovery that you use to flash unsigned zip files. You can install it via update from regular recovery, app called rom manager and like kernel via odin

Mine did the same thing today but I could not get into recovery. Went into download mode and flashed supercurio's jvk+hacks kernel and now I can boot again. I thought it was a bug with 2.3.3
Guess not. Last thing I did was reboot with quick boot.

Problem SOLVED!!
Themate1987's triggered me to do some more searching on this forum (' cause I did not know what cwm was) and I found two interesting things:
- SGS is extremely hard to brick (so I decided not to give up yet)
- Some post about a faulty USB cable.
So I exchanged my official Samsung USB-cable for and old Logitech mouse USB cable I found and suddenly my PC saw the phone. Of course I had to install the correct drivers (used my girlfriend's SGS and Kies for that), but after a lot of connects and disconnects I was able to connect the phone to Odin.
Although I prefer standard ROMs I installed a new kernel and Darky's ROM and now I am fine. I might even keep Darky's ROM, because indeed it seems to be extremely fast and has some nice features.
Once again: thanks everyone!

My phone is doing the same thing however mine quickly goes to the "ursa minor" screen before doing the one vibe then 3 short vibes. It does this 13 times, then vibes once and restarts. I have tried booting into recovery mode and download mode, and nothing is working. when I pull the batt, plugin the USB cable, hold down the vol - and + and power, then put the batt in, it just stays on the charging screen. I've hunted the threads for 4 hours trying to find a solution, and I don't know what do to. Do I need to make a jig to fix it now?
Pull usb out then pull battery, then replace and try and enter download mode (vol down/power/home)

Flashing To Original Rom - Using Odin on GT-i9000
Flashing To Original Rom - Using Heimdall on GT-i9000
Enjoy
well. it was running on F1 SGSII V7. i had converted it to ext4. although it displayed all file systems in ext4, i got the msg that it is not working properly.
today i wanted to try out Cyanogenmod7.1. so i downloaded both cyanogenmod zip file and google apps file. went to CWMrecovery and took a backup. rebooted the phone to change filesystems to rfs. when i clicked ext4 to rfs , it booted to CWM and the phone restarted. so i checked the file systems and still it was ext4. i got confused and decided to install cyanogenmod either way.
so i got in to recovery and formated data,system and cache. and i also had the phone factory reset through CWM. next it displayed this.

when i open the phone in normal mode it stucks at galaxian kernel boot image.
i cant do anything through CWM. so i decided to test downloading mode. it worked. but when i plug the usb to my phone it says device not recognized. i have removed usb drivers ,restarted and again installed latest usb drivers. still its not been recognized. i used odin3 v1.82.
so could u experts tell me whether my phone is (soft/hard) bricked or not. and whether is recoverable or not. and what should i do at this point. thank you!
ps. i m newbie at this rooting flashing stuff.
Glad to see this much information in a post...
Its a soft brick but more complicated one...
Did you make a nandroid backup, can you use it? (i dont understand what you mean by you cant use CWM, can you not get into recovery, or nothing you do works?)
Before you plugged you phone in did you go into task manager and close all kies applications?
Have you truied another version of odin?
Have you tried another computer?
Those are both questions and suggestions
Btw next time if you confused about something dont do it, as something will go wrong like it did. Also always take a backup from recovery before you do anything to it.
Also you can try heimdall...
let us know how it goes
I have had same prob, its a soft brick. Don't worry. Do a ODIN flash to stock rom, then flash a custom kernel (as PDA) and u will be good to use CWM to restore ur backup. It worked fine for me (many times , I'm a flashaholic) .
Good luck
thank you both of you guys. odin worked in another pc.. thank you once again

Thank you very very much! You've saved me! I've flashed stock rom, then Semaphore kernel and restored backup, all is fine and working!
Hello, i have had Darky's rom 10.2.2 for few months, then realised,that there is stable cyanogenmod released,so wanted to flash it. So ,i had cwm 3.0.0.5, did a nandroid backup, downloaded cm7 via rom manager. Put it on root of sd card(internal memory).Started cwm, wiped data,cache,dalvik cache, and flashed cm7 it also changed my cwm to 5.3.?(don't remember) but now it's 3.0.0.5 again. Everything was perfect,but then i realized,that i forgot to backup all my phone numbers. So like a moran i wiped all data,and restored my backup(darky's rom 10.2.2). Everything was ok, but it doesn't boot up! Then i went to cwm and i see:
Code:

P.S. Sorry for mistakes,it's not my main laguage.

But before that you must put the phone in download mode by pressing simultaneous down volume key plus home and power and keep pressed until you see a yellow triangle, wait for windows installs all drivers and run odin ver 1.3 then you should see an yellow rectangle saying added!, then flash, but be carefully with this, see in another thread how to flash in odin, or else use kies to update your phone...

yah actually you cannot flash any roms over CM7 or MUI you have to use the ODIN method... use odin method to flash darky 10.2 and after that flash 10.2.2 via cwm..
Sorry for noob Question, why is it we have to use Odin when flashing back from CM7, but we dont need to use Odin for flashing CM7?

Click to expand...

AFAIK it's because CM7 uses MTD instead of Samsungs BML. So the CWM script does repartitioning etc..and none of the Samsung custom roms reverse that. So you need to use Odin with repartitioning to reverse it back to Samsung layout..
I hope I remembered all correctly since I'm little tired now when writing this..
PS google those terms if they sound unfamiliar to you.

Yeah this phone is very hard to brick, you can use odin to bring it back, i screwed mine and it was in a loop during booting and had messed up graphics in recovery menu so i couldnt do anything but download mode was still working and it took about 20 minutes with odin and my phone was alive again.

IF your phone is in Download mode (should be clear from the screen) it is probably a driver issue.

It's my first time flashing a new rom. This is what happened yesterday.
- I created a backUp using clockworkMod recovery 3.0.0.5. (currently using official rom and already rooted)
- I wiped data/factory reset.
- installed cyanogenMod 7 (i didn't like it)(i noticed the recovery mode changed to CM-based recovery)
- went back to clockworkMod and restored my backUp (without wipe)(the recovery mode changed back to ClockWorkMod Recovery)
when the phone started, it couldn't get through the galaxy S bootscreen so I went back to clockworkMod and I found this error.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
This is the thread I found with the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-932809.html
The problem lies in the fact that your stock rom (which you backed up) was on RFS file system but CM7 uses Ext4 filesystem. So whenever you flash back from ext4 rom to rfs rom, you must first convert the ext4 partitions back to rfs.
What you can do now is to go to download mode, and flash your device with the stock rom along with 512pit file through ODIN. It will convert the partitions back to RFS in the process of flashing.
Flash any gingerbread Samsung firmware with odin which have all 4 files pit,modem, csc and code . Make sure you tick re-partition before flashing and also make sure u flash the right file at right place .

in order to use to your backup you need to flash (with odin) back to your official rom and root it. in cwm restore your back.up. if not then you have to use odin to flash another rom in download mode. hope this helps.
Sorry for getting back so late. I've already tried to use odin but it doesn't detect the phone. I've already installed samsung usb drivers in my pc but still nothing.
From what you already wrote, I assume that you can get the phone in download mode. Try using a different USB port in your computer, or another computer.

hi kairos005,
i found this post by THE-E, maybe this could help you.
Many possible solutions:
- Reinstall Kies.
- Go to the Driver-Manager of Windows(while phone is plugged in), than search for the device -> right click on the phone and press on uninstall, before pressing on Ok you should mark drivers to be uninstalled too.
- Use another PC
Try first these, if it doesn't help I might come up with something different.

install the latest version of samsung usb drivers for your required OS and than try.

Yes, I can get it to download mode. I've also installed KIES and a separate installer of samsung usb drivers. But still no luck.
I took it to a cellphone shop the other day. The technician said that my internal memory was wiped and i need a new motherboard replacement which, i think, is ridiculous.
HI, I`m using a program USBDeview and it can "see" my device although it doesn`t recognize as a SGS or i9000 or anything related.
I`ve been reading something related to ADB and PDAnet, but everytime that someone says to put my device in Debugging mode ON and continue the steps, I have to stop cause I can`t turn ON my SGS...I suppose that before the last time I used it I let the debugging MODE OFF...so my PC and any other PC will recognize it.
Any other idea/ solution?
Thanks a lot...but I still don`t have a phone,
can you try using Heimdall to flash rom on download mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
you can also try using google usb driver (nexus driver) instead of the samsung driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Thanks :good:
so my brother's phone got bricked for some reason. I tried searching for answers but I can't find answers. I'll be detailed as possible so imma list down the problems
Problems:
1. When turning on the device, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S logo
2. I can open recovery mode (CWM v3.0.0.5) but then these errors show up:
"E: unknown volume for path [/data]
E: Unable process volume! Skipping...
E: can't mount /cache
E: can't open /volume"
...etc
3. ADB can't see/detect the device
4. Went to Download mode but then Odin does not detect it. (I have the latest drivers from Samsung. I also tried connecting my Note 2 and Odin can detect it. I also tried different cables but none would work)
5. Tried inserting an SD card but i cant seem to find a way to flash from a zip file
6. Also tried restoring but errors appear (see #2)
How it got bricked:
My brother said that he simply rebooted the phone because of lag and that happened.
I'm not sure if USB debugging's on before this phone got bricked.
It's running Optimum Jellybean by Likeman and yes it's rooted
Help please (
