[Q] Boot screen 'corrupt' - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I installed a version of Darky's ROM a while back, my boot screen has always been corrupt. I get the Samsung Logo, then the screen becomes all pixellated for a few seconds. The phone then boots as normal and works fine.
Now I want to have a go at an ICS ROM, but when I boot into recovery mode, I have the same problem. The text is all corrupt and I cant read any of the options.
Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?
Thanks

Have you tried just going to download and flashing stock rom using ODIN?

As buttwad said, flashing stock rom via ODIN is only solution...
i too faced this problem after darky's rom..
i flashed stock gingerbread via odin and now flashed Onecosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC1..

[Q] I think I'm half bricked.. Help

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

[Q] Flashing to 2.3 causes boot loop...

I am having a problem that no matter which stock ROM i try and load, if it is a 2.3 I end up in a boot loop and have to go back to vodafone au eclair to get my phone booting again.
I was running XXJVO but the other day after installing some apps my phone froze and then wouldn't charge or boot. Flashing back to 2.1 seemed to sort out most of my problems but trying to go back to 2.3 (even via kies) results in a boot loop. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try.
2.3 roms that i have tried:
XXJVR
XXJVO
Vodafone stock 2.3
Darkys rom 10.1 re
I also having problems with soft touch buttons they disappeared after Darkys and touck key FW update hasn't worked on any roms that i have tried 2.1 or 2.2
Anyone with suggestions would be greatly appreciated as don't wanna be stuck on 2.2!!
What cwm recvery do you have?
I would go into download mode, connect to ODIN and flash a voodoo kernal, go into recovery and turn off all the lags, I had a similar problem with bootloop and disabling all the lags cured it. Then do a wipe, reflash via ODIN to a stock firmware then flash your custom rom.
Hope this is of some help

[Q] SGS cant go into recovery mode!

hello guys - about 2 months ago ive installed ICS 4.0 onto my SGS1 al works fine till... yesterday
Basically phone turned off in me pocket - so I did tried to turn it on but it just show SGS logo - then ICS logo and then all over again, again and again. I can get phone to the download mode but not to RECOVERY MODE - it just doesnt work. can anyone help me pls ? !
Well i don't know but if the download mode is OK maybe try to reflash it? If i were on your place i would definitely not wait but reflash it
Put your phone into the download mode and flash a rooted kernel with CWM.
try FixRecovery solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24407067&postcount=2598
There is a possibility, flash trough odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=925613&d=1330551490
You only flashed ICS (let me guess AOKP?), without another kernel, you see AOKP does not have CWM ;-) Done this mistake by myself, reflash older fw with odin, root, install kernel with CWM, flash ICS, flash kernel. If still in bootloop, flash again ;-)

[Q] Stuck in Bootling loop after installing ROM?

Hi all,,
Little bit worried here, I've just flashed RocketRom v7, and while everything was successful, I kept receiving reboots. It would go to the setup wizard, then after every page it would reboot, and now that I've managed to get into the homescreen, it reboots every 30 seconds now, not allowing me to connect to wifi or do ANYTHING :/
Any ideas?
I came from Rooted GB with Speedmod GB kernel.
Followed everything in this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BaWcZe51Ew&feature=plcp
Thanks!
Don't know what the cause of the problem is.
Flash stock gb rom with pc odin.
Do not select PIT or Bootloaders or repartition.
Flash normally. If it gets stuck in bootloop factory reset from the recovery.
Go back to stock lp3 GB rom via pc odin...root it and install cwm...flash redpill recovery..do all 3 wipes...and flash the rom..it should work..chk the videos in my sig for further assistance
Where can I find these Stock ROMs? I can only find the stock rooted ROMs, which don't seem to allow me to go past the green android at setup when flashing a rooted version of gb?

Its KL3....not LP3...
I ended up giving up and reverting back to stock 2.3.6 and flashed the Speedmod GB kernel ... all I wanted was RocketRom v7 working and I couldn't even get that done T_T
Thanks anyway

[Q] Bricked Gnote, no experience on the field

so i have been running Paranoid android for a while, and wanted to try this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051904
flashed the latest cm10.1 kernel, and then formated cache, dalvic, battery stats, etc.
then i managed to reboot before i had flashed the new rom and got stuck in bootloop. could not access CWM any more
after this i downloaded odin after a few forum reads, and flashed different versions of CWM to see if i could get back in to flash the rom.
the latest one i have in it is this:
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00033/pQK/GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar
as it was recommended in some un-brick thread. still no access to CWM
after this i flashed a stock rom, as i could not find any .md5 or .tar roms to use with odin, and i got at least a samsung logo on hte screen, before i got back to boot screen and was stuck there again.
CWM still not working, or showing up in any way.
out of obvious options i now tried flashing the pit file trough odin from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and after this the samsung boot logo did not show up anymore. only boot loop
i am now going to try and download the older ginger bread rom and flash it trough odin, but i got no idea if it will make any difference.
otherwise phone goes to download mode just fine, and i got working drivers in windows trough kies.
im quite new to this, and dont really know what would work from here. ill end up hard bricking the phone if i don't get some help, and the trash can will be my n7000 next home.
any advice is welcome
--------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
flashing official rom again after the pit file acrually gave me a working phone again. also i now got 50 gb of drop box storrage for free, so thats nice
