Help, SGS won't start after interrupted app update - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
While this morning my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 was installing an (auto) update from an app (unfortunately I do not know which one), the phone rebooted. But it got caught in the start up screen (Samsung S animation logo). After a while the phone vibrates like there is an app which crashes...
I don't know how to solve this problem, as a factory reset (startup with volume button pressed etc.) did not work out...
Does this issue sound familiar to anyone of you? Thanks for any help...
Regards,
EJ

"as a factory reset (startup with volume button pressed etc.)"? i haven't heard of that one... do you have clocworkmod recovery? Try Volume Up+Home key+Power when/if you get into recovery try a factory reset wipe cache dalvik cache. Try to flash a new rom using odin... to bad that this happened from an app update...

Done that, didnt work.
now fixed though after using the Video Guide of Darky's Resurrection Edition v9.2 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671.
My SGS is back into business, seems to be working even better then before I bricked it. Thanks Darky!

[Q] Flashed Batterymod, but...!

I just flashed a battery mod on my galaxy s.
But i think i downloaded the Wrong one!!! When i did a reboot, the process 'android.phone' stopped working. Mmmm.. OK.
Tried a factory reset through the 3 button menu. Well now it does not do anything, i can see the boot movie, but then i get a Black screen with an heartbeat on the vibration thingy.
I did not panic and tried to flash an other firmware. Well it did not work. I see the boot movie, but then the screen blacks out and nothing works......
I searched for this, but i didnt get a good answer on how to solve this.
So if anyone is kind enough to help me, and tell me what to do in simple steps.
The same here. I used version D for JP6 & the 2nd method.
I had to reflash the softwear.
Exact same problem with me, had to reflash. Could someone tell the guy who has the battery mod thread?

1st. You need to flash a fresh firmware I suggest a official one so you can download the latest JP6 from kies without knifing the registry. you can get those firmwares from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm but you need to register first. And here are the intructions how to flash http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/sho...and-and-flash-newer-firmware-to-your-Galaxy-S
2nd. After a succesfull flash go to recoverymode (shut down device, hold: vol-up, home and power)
wipe cache and do a factory reset just incase, and boot your device.
3rd. Install JP6 through Kies
edit:
BTW im a noob who did just this after i messed my phone to a state like mentioned in op So i dont take any responsibility about any damage you do to your phone. I did something like this and now i have official JP6 inside my sgs and its flying

[Q][SOLVED] Galaxy S Bootloop after failed flash.

SOLUTION: Flash JPU with PIT.
Hello all,
Today I tried reflashing xxJPY after accidentally applying a heavy undervolt. However, my dog somehow managed to knock the phone off my desk while flashing.
EDIT: I managed to succesfully reflash xxJPY, I don't know how, or what I did, but it somehow booted to download mode.
However, my poor Galaxy is now stuck in a bootloop. Both the stock rom, and a 10 day old backup play their boot animations, but after a couple of vibrates they both reboot. The vibrates are the same as when an application force-closes.
Any thoughts?
Quipeace.
EDIT2: Reflashed again, but still looping. Also did a factory reset.
Volume up key. Home key and power on all at the same time. This should put you into recovery mode.
Hope this helps....

Or better still same as above but volume down key takes you to download mode. If stopped mid flash recovery will likely not work.

Hey,
I don't know what I did, but I managed to reflash xxJPY. However I'm now facing a bootloop.
Anyone had that before?

JJEgan, thanks, that worked. I was already downloading JPU, hoping that a three part flash would fix it.
Thanks for your time

[SOLVED] Help!!! BootLoop and no CWM

Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me!
I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else with my problem.
I flashed ICS stunner and that was working fine.
Then I tried LiquidSmooth and eventually got that working fine.
Then I tried to go back to ICS Stunner and this is where my problems start.
I had some failed flashes with CWM and I think I've messed up the kernel.
I tried to sort this out by flashing back to pre-rooted GB rom so I could reinstall CF Kernel.
The flash in Odin appears to complete successfully, but afterwards phone just goes into bootloop at Samsung boot animation.
As I flashed back to pre-rooted stock rom I don't have recovery.
As far as I can find, to install a kernel I will need to either boot into android (which I can't due to bootloop) or install through CWM (which I can't as no longer have CWM)
Can anyone help?
Try factory reset from stock recovery.

Turn off your phone, press and hold the three following buttons together for more than 10 seconds: Volume up button + Home button + Power button
That is if you are having bootloops after flashing Gingerbread using PC Odin coming from ICS
Sorry, I know this post is really old, i have the exact same issue. I dont have a home button so what can i use instead of that? also when it try to boot into recovery it just shows the open android logo.

You do not have the same issue because here nobody spoke of a missing home button.
So: What do you mean? Your home button is broken? Or you do have a device without home button?
After this is clear we can start to analyze your problem.

A Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 without a home button? hmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmm. Mohan chachu can you share some Pictures of it please?
Unbelievable. May be you don't know what is home button or your phone is not n7000

Hello,
I wanted to update my Note to official german ICS (N7000XXLPY) using Odin. After going through th whole process:

"REMOVED!" and the phone restarted with new ICS boot animation.
Now it's stucked on SAMSUNG logo. I've tried to reboot a few times but nothing changes. ANy help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
BruXav

Lol I answered you there and also said post in relevant thread, sorry
Thank you for your help and patience ;-)
When I do the combo home+power+volume down I can only volume up to enter downloading mode or cancel. I go to download but what to do next?
It says downloading...do not turn off target but nothing about factory reset.
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry I'm new here
I had same problem.. Boot into CWM, not download mode, and factory reset worked for me.

Thanks but how do you get in CWM mode if you can't get into the phone?
Any other button combo I don't know?
The only thing I ca do is reboot in download mode
CWM = Vol UP + Home + Power

Did you update this way to official ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25947847&postcount=4
If you already did above, then try this:
0. Disconnect USB
1. Power off
2. Hold vol+ & home & power, let go of power once you see Samsung logo
3. You'll be in a special recovery mode. From here you can choose factory reset.

Yeah, I thought maybe you skipped something. I had CheckROM v6 on mine, it's was gingerbread rom. I did a PC Odin upgrade using the stock ICS, and everything was still there working. I did do another factory reset tonight from the settings and not in the recovery menu. Could it be a corrupted download of stock ICS? Some people were saying if you had a custom ICS before, this method won't work. Are you able to put back stock gingerbread?
I have this same problem. Cant get past samsung logo. I tried flashing several times, did factory reset, just wont work. I flashed using heimdall, not odin, would that make a difference?
Flashed back to 2.3.6, that works fine. Tried reflashing official ics, same problem, stuck at samsung logo. Factory reset in cwm does not work. Any ideas?
Hey buddy, I had the same problem tonight when I tried to restart my phone after a build.prop update - changing the wifi interval from 15 to 120... doh!
Got stuck at the boot screen and so out of desperation I decided to wipe, it didnt work. I was still stuck.
So I flashed XXLC1 (Open Euro) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with PC Odin and it came back ok . I lost root though but thats no biggie, at least I have a working phone now.
Hope that helps you. Good Luck!

[Q] CRAP!!!!!!!...my Note having problem! is this Bricked?

Right....here goes..
Now my Note is stuck on 'Samsung GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000' screen..no samsung screen etc..been on since 30 mins or so.
way before this i was on LLXT5 samsung official firmware, last active scrren on my phone was telling me my memory card is spoilt..will need to format..
So what i did was to power off the phone..take out memory card and load into my com..well it works..(32gb)
when i try to power up it stuck on the above...no samsung screen etc..
Yes have try charging..(still can charge when phone is off.)
so i go into recovery mode..power up thing..i can only go reboot..cant do a restore etc..i go have a ultimate jellybean V6 zip inside..but can't be read..
so next i use ODIN to flash to XXLT5 again..well i work..as in flashing..green and everything..but..after reboot..im still stuck on the samsung ...n7000 screen...
so yeah....anyway to fix this? have done some reading on this over XDA but dun seems to work..so far i have done what im suppose to do...
much help needed!! thanks all!
looks like bootloop issue, I would suggest wipe cache.
best from safe kernel as stock is not guaranteed. However if you feel lucky.
get into recovery by pressing volume up, power and homekey button at same time when switching on, keep pressed until recovery boots.
if cache doesnt work, factory reset from recovery.
if that doesnt work warrantee at service centre
maybe go warrantee first because Samsung needs to know they made buggy software :'(
thanks for replying!
ohhh boy! i have to bypass the last option...export set here..lol!!!!!!!
check my addition to previous message, warrantee maybe first.
Thanks !! Got it working somehow..hopefully stay that way! Thanks again!!
