Hello,
I installed the CyanogemMod 7.1 on a SGS. Before install, I made a backup of the stock ROM using CWM. But now I want to come back to the Stock ROM, but when I restore the backup, is always giving me error when flashing the boot.img. Could be problems with the filesystems?
Thanks
To move from CM7 to another Samsung rom you have to use odin.
you need to flash a stock rom with 512pit file and tick repartition.
But I cant get to download mode. I used the three finger combination (volumedown+home+power) or the adb reboot-bootloader command and nothing.
If a use the three finger combination, the galaxy-s i9000 first screen appears but it flash and reboot again, and if I continue to press the buttons, it will enter in loop until I release the buttons and cyanogemmod opens normally.
How I restore the download mode screen?
Thanks
Try to pull battery off battery a few seconds

Hi, mate.
It's sad but you lost the three keys combo.
Now, if i don't say wrong, the only method to launch the download mode is to use a usb dongle.
Search the forum with the word "dongle usb galaxy s" and you should find what i'm talking about.
Normally the combo (notice that you can't access to recovery too) lost it self during a downgrade from ginger bootloader to froyo or eclaire bootloader.
Wich means that your bootloader is corrupted.
Hi people,
I bought a USB dongle and now the download mode is working again.
Thanks

after following the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754

Ive had to take his phone home to fix it!
Can you offer any advice on how to get it going again?
Thanks in advance,

Download Odin and an apropriate flashfile and flash the phone.
Before you start take out the sim card and memory card.
Every info on how to flash via Odin is in this forum, just search.
After that root your friends phone.
I've atached the files for rooting only on Eclair 2.1.

Now im stuck at an AT&T boot loop!!!!
Have I flashed a wrong file??? have a bricked it??
did you odin jm8 before flashing tayutamas rom? tayutama rom is a mod, it depends on jm8 and can not be flashed with odin but needs to be installed via update.zip through recovery console

Did you flash Tayutama's ROM using Odin? Or did you use the update.zip method?
Well, here's all the steps you need to follow in detail:
1) Flash JM8 using Odin (follow flashing guide from Richtofen's thread).
2) Download Tayutama's JM8 ROM, rename the zip file to "update.zip" and put it on /sdcard. So it looks like /sdcard/update.zip. Turn off the phone. Get into recovery mode (volume up + home + power). Choose the option "Apply from sdcard: update.zip" or whatever. (NOTE: Don't flash this using Odin).
That's it. BTW, you lost all data on your mate's phone when you flashed JM8 onto it. Hope he isn't too mad.

Why not? You were able to do it before right? What happens if you try now?
EDIT: Wait, is it the international version of the Galaxy S (I9000) or the AT&T Vibrant (T959) AT&T Captivate I897?
Hold on just for a little while longer.
As long as the phone goes into recovery you havn't bricked it yet.
Go here and register and download a stock (non moded) firmware:
samfirmware.com
I recomend XXJM1 as that was the most stable for me until now, but other will do.
First wipe cache and format phone.
Then flash the stock firmware with repartition checked with Odin.
Then root the phone.
I've attached Odin and a text file explaining where to put each file.
Good luck.
I Can't get into recovery mode, the 3 button trick doesn't work. Im just stuck at the At&t screen, goes black and then back the at&t.

Why is there a AT&T screen on a UK Orange I9000?
The 3-button trick has never worked on that phone or stopped working after the bad flashes? (coz I read in one of your posts that you tried getting into recovery mode and deleting cache/data?)
Yes the 3 button thing did work before just not now.
I didn't know it was at&t until I had flashes it, I just downloaded it from the development section.

Please try all of these in the same order and see if anything gets the phone into Download Mode successfully.
Start with the phone turned off (remove and insert battery if necessary)
Method 1:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) While still holding down both the volume buttons, press and hold the power button.
Method 2:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down both the volume buttons.
Method 3:
a) Hold down only the vol down button.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down the vol down button.
Don't even touch the power button in methods 2 and 3.
EDIT: Make sure the drivers are installed in the computer first. If you don't have the drivers, installing Kies would automatically install the required drivers for you. While trying these methods (connecting USB cable to computer), though, make sure Kies is completely closed (even from the system tray) and keep Odin open.
Hi Thanks for the info. Tried all your ideas and still nothing. My pc isn't recognising the phone anymore.

I guess there's nothing more I can do then. Gonna have to let him know what's happened.

Hello,
I verified that I am able to enter download mode by plugging in the USB cable while pressing both volume buttons with the device turned off. I also verified that I can enter recovery mode by pressing both volume buttons and the power button. So I am pretty sure that I know how to enter the modes.
I then ran the Odin version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 (by mistake, I didn't know it differed from the one in http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html). I assume that simply overrode everything with the stock ROM instead because I did not get the chance to select the SpeedMod kernel.
However, after that the hotkey method was no longer working. I was only able to enter download and recovery mode using adb. I used this to flash SpeedMod using the correct Odin version from the SpeedMod page.
Then I proceeded by going into recovery mode and extracting captivate-efsbackup.zip. I went into download mode (again with adb, keys still didn't work) and flashed cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar.
Now, however, I'm in real trouble. I can enter neither recovery nor download mode. No matter if I use hotkeys or adb, the system reboots, but then just shows the "Galaxy S\n cyanogen^(mod)" image.
Anyone able to help? Why aren't the hotkeys working anymore after running Odin?
I have no explanationas to why buy do have a suggestion. Try the AIO tool box. If the phone boots, just enable usb debugging and follow instructions. You should probably use the 3 button fix option.
I recently had done a clean up of my cappy because after tons of flashes it had become a mess. After flashing back to stock I lost dl mode and recovery. Whipped out the AIO...ver.2.5 , booted phone, put in debug.. Reformated with 3 button and boom!, back in business. Be sure your net framework is current 4 version, install the C++ lib as siggested.
Took a likely pain in the ass and turned it into an inconvenience. Just follow the instructions...
Sent from a Captivate on Bluedipity 6.2, SP#59, JQ1 with Xda App
First of all, what model of Captivate do you have (the model number is underneath your battery, on the phone itself. It will be a number between 1006-1014).
And I hope you do realise that CM7 is a particularly difficult (than standard) ROM to flash, and if you don't know what you're doing (or miss a step), you can perma-brick your phone easily.
If you can't get into Download Mode by any means, then the only last suggestion I can give you is to try a USB Jig (search around in the Captivate Forum here, you'll see what I mean).
Thanks for the suggestions. Here is how I recovered:
Download SpeedMod Kernel
Create a nandroid backup on a working phone, copy that over to the broken one
Copy zImage from SpeedMod kernel to SD on broken phone with adb
Enter shell mode on phone
Look into misc/recovery.fstab to figure out the name of the sdcard block device
Mount sdcard with `mount [blockdev] /sdcard`
Flash zImage with `flash_image boot /sdcard/zImage`
Flash nandroid backups with `flash_image {system,cache,datadata} /sdcard/{system,cache,datadata}.img` (but not data)
Leave the phone without battery for at least 1 and at most 6 hours (my phone appeared completely dead after this operation, not even adb shell access, so I went to bed frustrated)
Now you can boot into download mode again using "adb reboot download" (which didn't work when running the CM7 kernel)
Use One Click Odin to revert to stock firmware
Install 3ButtonFix to get combos working again
Note that the original problem that caused all the trouble was that flashing the stock ROM with Odin One-Click disables the 3 Button combos. You have to use the 3ButtonFix to get it working again.
Nikratio please help me i was updating samsung galaxy 5 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo but when i was using odin then it stops working and i unplug the device the after that phone is not getting switched on and even not getting is recovery mode ... m very sad and even dnt have the backup of any phone and none of my frnd have android phones so that i have backup please help me bro m afraid of my mom too coz i just bought it few time back please hem me bro
Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.

I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.

I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.
how to install miui?
Well, I have an ATT 8.9 LTE (SGH-i957) that I flashed with the rooted ROM using Odin.
All seemed OK..UNTiL the auto restart at which point the gTab powered down, showed the "Samsung" name/logo for about a second...and then just went a "glowing" black.
I can still get to download mode, and subsequently have reflashed with the ATT stock ROM from samfirmware.com. Same result. No obvious problems during flash...but no boot up after a brief presentation of the Samsung logo.
Any ideas??
Thanks....p
Get into recovery mode to delete cache and factory reset.
The "stock" ROM that's floating around is a "no-wipe" version.
I didn't know that was a no wipe version. Good to know.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I appreciate the advise.
However, unfortunately the tablet will only go into download mode....no recovery mode regardless of the combination of "power" and "volume up"...or "power" and "volume down"...or "power" and BOTH volume up AND down.
Any other way to clear cache/etc??
p
If you can get it into download mode, plug it into your PC and try using ADB (assuming you've installed the Android SDK).
Code:
ADB Reboot Recovery
Also, when you say you flashed "root ROM", what file did you use? The Da_G root for the i957, or something else?
Yes...the Da_G is the root file that I flashed.
Well, despite the fact that Odin "sees" the device...I get "device not found" with adb?!
Thanks for the continuing help!
have you ever had the device recognized in ADB before?
You can also flash the custom recovery via odin and see if they key combo works with that.
When you flash via odin, you are using the PDA slot, correct?
Hi....
I only had the tab about 10 minutes before I soft bricked it....so I had not tried with adb before.
Yes...flashed with file in PDA and all default Odin option per instructions.
I'm not sure about the "custom recovery" that you suggest I flash?! Can you point me to it?
Thanks much.
Oh...realize on there is no CWM for the 8.9 LTE.
Is that the "custom recovery" to which you referred??
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462770
That is the custom recovery for the LTE
I am still surprised you cant get into recovery through a key combo.
I am also surprised you are having this issue in the first place. Just flashing that root kernel shouldn't cause it not to boot.
I know...just lucky I guess
Well, I successfully flashed that recover....no changes.
Still can only boot into download mode.
When I try the key combo for recovery, I DO feel the tablet HD moving...but won't boot.
Very disappointing.
Do you know of any un-brick service that works with the 8.9???
Thanks...p
Adb is really your best bet here. Do you have an Android phone you can detect with adb?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes...I can detect my phone (with USB debug set, of course).
Given I can't SET the usb mode on the tablet....I am not optimistic about adb detecting it.
Woe is me, I'm afraid!
Try flashing this kernel in odin.

I'm trying to think of anything you can do. When you try volume up + power, keep holding the volume up, but let go of power as soon as you feel the device vibrate after being off.
Man...frustrating....
Same results.
eeeeeesh
I'll keep thinking

I have Galaxy Note with 4.0.3 rooted already. I tried to installed the Ultimate JB v5.1 from this thread

It will be like that forever.
and I can't go back to 4.0.3. I did not backup....
It seems like the OLD ICS is still on my phone but I can not enter the system. It says Installing Applications forever. Then if I connect a usb,
I actually can goto Setting, then I see the phone is still on 4.0.3.
Seems like I only partially wiped out the old ICS? I could not see the internalsd from my PC after connect the USB.
I have also formatted EMMC... am I screwed?
Is there a way to save the phone?

Yes, there is; your phone boots so all is still well. Download odin, and put your phone into download mode (volume up + home + power; pressed at tge sane time it will automagically reboot and only when you see the galaxy note icon you release these buttons. Now also download a stock pre-rooted GINGERBREAD rom and glash this rom via odin, there will be 3 things to flash; csc, phone and if I remember corrrectly also modem. Now just let it boot and you will be safe again. Now you can experiment again....
