I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.

Hi
I am using ICSSGS 4.2 with DEVIL 0.72
2 days ago my phone started to get crazy. the screen truns on and off for 6-10 times every 10 minutes my battery is getting low quickly because of this.
I remember it happened exactly the same when I was on stck rom but after I flashed ICS it stopped but unfortounately it came back again.
It's sound like an app that is causing this.it's a wakelock issue
Try a factory reset from recovery.
Then install your apps one by one to check witch one is causing this.
I fixed this by uninstalling the last 3 apps i installed. then i found out which app is causing this problem.
thx but!!
Factory reset erases everything in the phone including internal sd card right????????

uninstalling all the apps are the all most the same as WIPE your DATA
if you have root you can use titanium backup and backup all your apps and the data apps and restore them
good luck
Factory reset DO NOT WIPE sd content.neither does a hard reset.
Factory reset delete all apps and data.but system is still intact and phone boot normally
with a hard reset u wipe apps data and system,so u need to install new system from cwm or Odin
Apps and data can be backed up with titanium backup and restored also system apps.but it's not a good idea to restore system apps unless u know what u are doing.
problem solved looooool
Thx guys I started uninstalling my apps one by one and my phone stopped bieng crazy (thankx god) and I think the problem is one of these programs:
-officesuite
-documents to go
thanks again
Please flash an updated rom...

My phone has been running cyanogen mod 9 for quite a long time and about two days ago it was giving me a low on space problem (RAM as both internal and external memory are more than 60% free)
So I stoped some background apps to clear the memory and gave the phone a restart. Now it is stuck in the boot screen :S I have already tried taking the battrey off and restarting the phone but still it gets to the boot screen and never loads :S
How can I fix this without flashing a new ROM as I have not backed up anything :S
Thanks
Well although I have not the galaxy s, what I would do:
1. Remove the microSD and SIM, turn it on to see if it boots.
2. If not start, go into recovery mode - Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache (not the wipe data factory reset, because you lose all) - then fix permissions.
3. If not start, reinstall the kernel compatible.
4. Crossing fingers

Remove your battery and try combo again while putting your battery back.
(you must release combo about 1 second after Galaxy S appears on the screen)

have u tried installing the bootloader using ODIN? try that and then try installing TWRP or clockworkmod recovery.. i think it should solve the problem of getting your phone up.. once the recovery is setup you can install any other rom..

check out My Android Solutions for solutions to your problems
so long as you can go into download mode, you can flash a semaphore kernel or a ROM from My Android Collections to solve it
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Hmm,
I'm not quite sure what's happening but factory resetting the phone through the settings menu itsself does absolutely nothing ... it shuts down the phone and EVERY SINGLE SETUP (wifi, calendar, apps, everything) is still there after reboot ...
Same happened to factory reset through CWM 6.2.0.8 ... I flashed another rom after wiping it (took long long long time +-20 mins or so I think) and everything is still there, wifi, apps, you name it...
Can't think of doing anything wrong here
Problem with my Z or ... got no clue

wel not exactly
yesterday I tried wiping through CWM in order to install another rom (romamur), weird this was all my apps were still present ...
thought they'd be gone, but they weren't, so I though "hey, perhaps something changed (came from galaxy S2
now today I tried it through the reset option in the settings menu, it said to remove apps and such, guess what, nothing happened, everything still there ...
note: I'm on stockbased rom (romamur, came from deodexed rom first)
no clue what's happening
Anyone ? :/
Hi all
Just unpacked my shiny new HTC One which is still on its initial charge fresh out the box. Im going to be updating it to 422, but my question is..
Like you do with Samsung Updates, after youve installed all the updates, is it a good idea to Boot into Stock recovery > Data/Factory Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot, or can I just "Factory Reset" in Settings.
You need to do this with Samsung devices because they are so full of Bloated crap all running in the background, that a clear cache is needed after a Rom update.. so is it the same. (This is why Ive switched to HTC and jumped the S4 altogether)
How do I get into Stock Recovery to reset/clear cache
Thanks

you can't clear cache with stock recovery, you'd have to flash a custom recovery a factory reset should do it, but it'll remove all your personal installed apps too!

Thanks for the speedy reply . I used to own a One X (so awesome, but it failed ) and you could enter Stock recovery on that and reset. However, Ive just read that if you enter the Ones boot loader (Power + Volume down).. then you can do a hard "factory reset" from the menu, ill just use that
Heres the YouTube link in case anyone else was curious:

Does Hard Reset not remove everything.. Pics, music, settings, .. all of it.. hence the reason why this setting is in the Bootloader itself.

Connect to PC in fastboot mode, fastboot erase cache - should work
I love my new Note 4, but I experience twice in the last week of this new phone that is says: Samsung Keyboard has stopped working and then the keyboard would be stuck at the bottom of the screen. After trying to fix it for a few seconds, it would reboot itself. Anyone else has this problem? Solutions?
Try clearing the cache maybe that will help.
im also having the same exact problem after updating to lollipop. I've wiped cache in boot and all it did was cause one of my chargers to not fast charge anymore. but my keyboard is still crashing atleast 5 times a day. this happens whenever I long press and letter for a symbol, it doesnt matter what app im in, if i try to type a symbol through shortcut by long pressing a letter, 4 out of 5 times my keyboard will crash. I've been trying to find the solution to this but no luck.

I bet that all three of you did not do a full and complete wipe including factory reset
before you odin flashed the new lollipop COD6 firmware.
If that was the case then go into twrp recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset
but don't reboot the phone, navigate twrp to the "download mode" option and click that
and then get odin ready and re-flash the phone with the lollipop firmware.
A full wipe always includes system,data,cache,dalvik cache and last but not least factory reset.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup in twrp before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my baseband. It is COD6 and I did do wipe cache when I update it from 4.4 to 5.0.1. If the random reboot show up again, I'll do factory reset + full wipe
