[Q] I9000 Gingerbread 2.3.3 root gone south, plz help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

This procedure will get you back to stock JPU ROM via Odin and Download Mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10449932&postcount=7
Then once your phone is working again you can go ahead and flash to a custom ROM which I'm guessing you know how to do. Let me know!
Ok dude I`m doing it now, fingers kriss crossed!!!
Ok this happened....
I took usb out, restarted pc, then phone went into recovery mode, I did a factory/data wipe, same with cache, was about to restart phone, now there`s a white box with an orange arrow comming out of it and a little green android man?
I pressed menu button, it brought up recovery, I restarted, went passed the white logo screen to swirling S logo screen, also played music, now at black screen....
Still in black screen but every 20 or so seconds it vibrates once then 3 quick times???
After sometimes it is required to do a factory reset to get it working.If your flash was succesfull try to factory reset it in recovery mode.
Tried Odin again and got the same error, so when I get into recovery mode I should factory reset everything?
Tried to get back into recovery from download mode and got the bricked screen!!! Its hopeless now is`nt it
I can still get into download mode.....
I dont really get what you are trying to do.
Can you get in recovery mode and do a factory reset???
I was in recovery and did that and it got to the swirling S logo screen then screen went black, vibrated once then 3 short ones every 30 or so seconds and thats it, it did`nt go any further.....
I keep getting a FAIL when I try to flash using Odin
I notice when I`m putting in the info in to PDA PHONE CSC areas, I dont see where I`m supposed to use this..
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
I followed it all step by step, or i dont see it in the steps
Hmm i had that screen many times but always able to flash with Odin.Are you sure you got the drivers on your pc?Make sure that you havent Kies running,on try or in backround,or any other program that is used to connect your phone.Also its always good to use a free USB port on your pc,and by saying free i also mean that it not one of the front panel USB cuz those ones sometimes are shared.
Start at the beginning .
Available
Download mode yes or no
Recovery mode yes or no
PC sees phone Odin first box is yellow yes or no

Repartition was checked, should I put the modem one in the phone section?
2. Open Odin AS the Man said .
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
I`m still getting a FAIL on it.
I download that Odin, reinstalled the Samsung drivers and disabled anything related to the phone.
I tried it even without the sim car and sd card in cause I read one post that had tried it and it worked.
From the instructions it looks like I`m using 3 of the 4 files download, remember that modem one.
I definitely have to use that same file twice for PDA and phone?
I followed these instructions to the letter...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/xda-developers%20-%20View%20Single%20Post%20-%20[Q]%20i9000%20can%20not%20boot.htm
I`m not sure which one is the right Odin to use, but I tried the both of them and still the same results.
There both v1.30, the gt-p1000 is the one from the previous post..
I`m even trying different USB ports...
Ya fuppin BEAUTY, I did it, I put into the phone section in Odin that modem file and here`s what I got...
NoW I have fireware 2.2.1
Baseband jpu
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build
Froyo.xxjpu
Is this the new froyo?
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Is this the new froyo?
Says Froyo
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
On your own head be it all i have done for a week is answer borked post all using this rom .
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Probably flash via Odin you will need to search i dont have a link .
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
Its probably on Darkys front page as is Clockwork .
Install sd card update zip CWM twice to get to 2e .
jje
Ok first of all I want to thank the 2 of ya`s for all your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Now that I`m up and going for some reason my pc does`nt see my phone even tough it says I`m connected on my phone?
I restarted my pc, reconnected phone nothing...
If its not one problem its another...

Can't go into Recovery Mode

hi all
Need your help with this. This bell Galaxy S phone was with our IT guys and I am not sure what they did to it. But when I turn on the phone the logo boots up and the animation comes on. Then it goes to a black screen. I tried to booth in recovery mode and the screen just keeps constantly showing the "Galaxy S GT-i9000" screen. i tried "adb recovery" and that didnt work either.
I tried odin and it doesnt recognize the phone.
is there any way I can get Kies to just format and reinstall the original rom?
i really dont care about installing a new rom, any rom will do.
Thanks for your help!
get a JIG cable, this will put your phone into download mode, after that you can flash a new rom using odin. you can find it anywhere, or you can make it yourself
good luck
Tried home+voldown+power? that gets you into download mode, which odin should recognize.

proplem with flashing by odin

Pull battery, replace, boot into d/l mode, and Reflash, making sure the firmware you are using has a pit file
listen brother, you need to flash a three parts official rom via odin with re-partition checked that's if you can get into download mode but if you cant you have to use a jig to get you into download mode and if it cant either then tell me to give you another method .... by the way I'm Arabian too
Here's my recovery kit, unzip , read the .txt

The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

Try reinstalling your drivers to get your phone connected.
But I'm pretty sure you'll have to partition an SD card. Your internal memory sounds dead.
Amazing Reply! but Still need help

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.
Almost Done

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.
I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed

S5830 non-flashable via ODIN?

Hi all,
I've tried to put an ICS ROM onto my Ace and managed to screw it up, it boot loops, and I can't use the recovery because it's CWM6 with the graphics error that causes it to display a solid blue screen. so i've tried to use ODIN (v4.42 if that matters) to flash a stock ROM onto it but every time I try to use regular download mode it won't connect to my PC, but, it connects in emergency download mode. problem part 2: ODIN will not flash to the thing it gets stuck at "<1> setup connection" and will sit there and do absolutely nothing
anyone know how or where I can find a fix for this thing?
Never mind, got it working
