Hi,
When I bought the phone, the phone came rooted and it had something like CF-ROOT in the *about* of my phone. The phone did not come with a SD-CARD. The guy who sold me the phone reformatted the phone before giving it to me. When I tried reformatting the phone with "factory reset" from normal settings, it wouldnt reformat it for some reason. I went into recovery mode and when I did wipe-data/factory reset and wipe cache, a failed message would appear.
So I downloaded CyanogenMod 7 and flashed it going into recovery mode, there was a CWM title in the screen of recovery mode.
I hit install ZIP from SD Card. Then the phone boot, then I saw the Samsung Logo and the CyanogenMod on the screen and kept on rebooting over and over again in the Samsung Logo.
So someone told me to use Odin3. I flashed the latest firmware for my i9000 found on Samfirmware.com. Everything installed good and the phone did a reboot. Then went into recovery mode (and I did not see CWM title on screen anymore). It started installing something and then a error message trying to wiping cache appeared.
So I decided to reboot it again. but this time it stays on the Samsung Galaxy S screen and gets stuck there.
Then I used Odin3 to flash the Kernel Semaphore, but still no luck. My phone is still in the Samsung Logo screen. It doesn't reboot anymore but it gets stuck in the samsung logo now.
Here is what I see when I get into recovery mode:

Come to download mode and flash new stock firmware, through odin, does this happens !!!
Clean install stock first
Use this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Download 2.3.5 version,
use odin to wipe phone, and install firmware using PDA, PHONE AND CSC files(with md5 extensions).
The detailed tutorial is mentioned in the post....
This will make the phone go back to stock 2.3.5 firmware...
If you want to use this, u dont need to do anything else,but if you need to root again, and load another custom rom, you will need to load clockworkmod.....and load another rom....
My suggestion: lets do the flash to go back to stock, we will carry on from there later....first see if the phone you've bought actually works or not....
I had the same issue, i just flashed a stock rom with ODIN with re-partitionned ticked and "PDA", "CODE", "PHONE", and "CSC" files.
It fixes the problem and then i could flash a custom rom

I was about to buy my friends N1, after he cleared the data, it is now stuck on boot screen, he has sent this to me to try to fix since he is not a technical person at all, but I am also dumbfounded by it.
here is what happened:
1.) He went to settings and clicked restore to factory defaults
2.) It rebooted and got stuck to this.

He send unit to me just now.
1.) Removed bat to turn off since power button no longer works to shut phone off
2.) Pressed POWER+Vol Down to enter Menu
3.) Selected Clear Storage
4.) asked to confirm, so I did, it said it will reboot in 5 seconds, so it did and still stuck with this screen.
Alternatively,
I chose recovery, then wiped everything, reboot still the same.
Tried downloading multiple roms, renamed to update.zip, but it will give me an error in recover mode, not signed.
This N1 is unlocked.
Now, I want to follow the instructions here but I am wondering if it is worth it or I will just return the n1. Certainly a bad sign having seconds thoughts on moving to Android
How To: Load a Custom ROM on the Nexus One (Updated 1.11.10) | TheUnlockr
Had the same issue
Had *exactly* the same issue a few weeks ago and tried dozens of different options but eventually gave up. I sent it back to HTC for repair and it came back in two days *with a new screen* (which I didn't ask for). The screen replacement cured the screen alignment/keyboard offset issue that I was getting multiple times a day. So I was happy Excellent service from HTC!
I had a similar problem. Reflashing the recovery image, then reflashing the ROM fixed it for me.
Try pushing over Clockwork recovery, or at least reflashing Amon_RA's recovery image. If you stick with Amon's, upgrade to 1.7.0.1 while you're at it.
The reason to try Clockwork, though, is that it allows you to disable signature checks. Plus, ROM manager integration is awesome. It saves time if you flash a lot!
FIRST, try renaming the zip file just "update". NO .zip or quotes. Sometimes the PC OS adds an extra .zip.

Gave up on it too, sent it back to HK yesterday, hopefully, they will replace it too. Thanks everyone!
I would have flashed the stock factory image on to it. That's different from flashing a zip, in that the image copies the sector bit by bit, so if there is any kind of bug, it gets overwritten.

I assumed that would have worked for me too, but it didn't. Had to send it back....
I would have flashed boot, system and userdata, it was in the recovery so it wasnt bricked...
ah well
Update your recovery first.
Hi guys,
I have bricked my phone and would love to know if anyone has a solution to unbrick it. Love the SII but didn't anticipate upgrading just yet.
I have had a custom JVT ROM running on my phone, with EXT4 enabled, and decided to revert back to stock. So I went to the EXT4 app installed on the rom and clicked convert to RFS. The phone booted into recovery where it did it's thing, and then tried to reboot, but froze on the boot image for about 20 minutes. I rebooted it, but it did the same thing. I went into recovery to try to disable the lagfix there, but it wouldn't allow me to. I tried to wipe everything but said it couldn't mount /sdcard. I then tried to flash stock JVT with Odin, and it was not able to set partition, and from this point on I have only been able to get to download mode, both recovery mode and booting lead me to the phone and computer with broken cable screen. I've since tried flashing roms and kernels on my phone but it always freezes / fails.
If anyone has any idea what has happened, and how i can fix it, please let me know. Otherwise I guess I had better start saving.
Cheers, Robbo

Did you try to re-flash stock JVT with Odin and using a pit file? It seems that the lag fix wasn't disabled on your phone. My understanding is that if you re-flash stock JVT with Odin, with re-partition, that should remove the lagfix...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Yeah i tried that.. Over and over again. Nothing I did was working, and then finally, randomly, rather than freezing on set partition or downright failing, it decided it would proceed with flashing and is now working!! so moral of the story - just keep trying i guess. Wooo! Case closed.
Your sd card maybe damaged.

Hello
(I´m from Germany ... baaaaad english)
I think, you`ve go to download mode and flash CWM again ...
Your data don`t be clean/wiped (?!? --> is it correct)
Yes i've flashed with Cf root ! My phone was OK before !
Think i'm going back to stock again !
And Yes it cannot be wiped
Thanks for helping
Looks like the phone isnt rooted properly, or at all judging by the recovery version you are running.
Reflash JVT using odin and download then flash a kernel, voodoo or semaphore 2.1 (I prefer semaphore) then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304 to root your phone, ( connect phone in normal mode with USB debugging turned on)
Then reboot to redcovery and finish off what you started to do.
I had the same problem changing the CSC from Nitrality app after flashing SURFACE 8.01. Until now I have ignored this issue, as I am not having any further problem (yet).
Simply restart the Phone, then format the internal SDcard.
Reboot to CWM and factory reset, you should see the errors have gone.
worked for me,
Hey, a little bit late but thanks !
Now, i've flashed to The JVT back again ! But everything went well ! but the thing is when the phone booted for the first time, i had some force closing application, then i wanted to do a factory reset back again, but when i've started the recovery mode, guess what, the CWM still on the phone !
What the heck is going on ? it makes me panic ! i don't know what to do !
actually wait ! i don't remember how was the factory recovery mode ! i'm getting this :
Android System recovery (3e)
Enter : OK Key. Select : Vol UP/Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset wipe cache partition
Well if this is the factory recovery mode ! Why the heck i've found it when i did the factory reset when the Cf-root was ON ?
And when i've flashed the new JVT, the first time the phone booted, i had the icon of superuser ?
Pleaaase help
When you flashed with Odin, did you use .512pit file and tick Repartition?
Yes i did !
Now all i want is to have back everything to stock !!
Thanks
Hi, I just bought the Galaxy i9000 (it has Orange[france] on back) and I decided to flash CyanogenMod to it. I've followed this link to do everything: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
The phone came already ROOTED and also was CWM 3.something already installed. The guide said to download CWM Recovery 2.5 and I also see a kernel instructions on it. BUT since my phone already had CWM 3.something installed already, I decided to skip it because the script says to skip it if you aready had CWM 2.5 installed. Of course the version I had was more updated the 2.5? I believe that was my mistake. By the way, eventhough I had 3.5something CWM installed and not 2.5 as the guide says. My Kernel in "about phone" was different than the kernel that shows in the guide"
I did the flashing by using the "Method via Recovery". I did all the steps until choosing the zip from sd-card. Once I selected: update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip, the phone rebooted and showed the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 logo and then appeared Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with the CyanogenMod logo.
The phone reboots over and over again even when you pull out the battery, it shows the same Samsung Logo and then comes the Samsung Logo with the CyanogenMod Logo.
Please, advise me on what to do.
I tried getting into recovery by pressing up/down volume button and the power button, but all I see

The picture shown is just to show you what shows on my screen after pressing UP/DOWN Button and Power Button. Again, I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (with Orange[france] Logo on the back of my phone. Thank you!.
That should be visible after pressing down + power + home. Try this one, maybe it will work. If not, well then, can't help ya.
I think your phone is not I9000, version international. It should be Vibrant or another variant.
This is not a GT-I9000 its a fascinate or a vibrant
This picture I got it from google just as an example of what appears on the screen when I press Volume Up/Down + home button. Again, that is not my phone. I have a i9000
normally when flashing into cm7 from a gingerbread rom the bootloaders are different. normally for me i flash once and get bootloops, then take battery out, use the volume up/home/power method, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvic cache, then flash a second time and it should work.
Normally when i find something i cant solve i just odin flash jvu firmware from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 and start again.
I went ahead and exchanged my Note 5 under warranty. I got my new phone, flashed TWRP, flashed TEKHD, phone worked great until the battery died. I turned it back on and it was stuck on the Start Up screen with an error. It never made it into the splash screen. I did not record the error code but it was on the top left hand corner in Red. Something about not being able to verify something. So I went ahead and flashed stock rom and the unit keeps restarting into stock recovery. I've wiped data and cache and continues to be stuck. I flashed G1 firmware again and same thing. Any ideas what the problem might be? After restarting the phone in stock recovery, it reboots into recovery but with an error at the bottom in red. It reads:
Support APU: 3 <--------This is in white
dm-verity verification failed... <------This is in red
Need to check DRK first... <----------Also in red.
ANy ideas? Flashing back to stock and/or clearing data does not seem to help. My Note 5 is Tmobilele variant. n920t
Does anyone have a solution for this? I can't flash img or boot. Odin won't see the files. I'm without my Note 5 :,(
Does anyone have a solution for this? Can't use my Note 5 ;/ I tried doing as suggested but Odin will not see either the boot or img. Also, I can not flash TWRP. Which does not make sense as I was able to before. Something about FAP Lock.
Took a picture of it.

So I did some more google searching and was lead to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...ation-t3293306
Says extract original firmware and delete cache and repackage it. Which I went ahead and deleted but when I try to repackage it, it gives me an error saying it is missing the cache.rfs. The tutorial uses a difference version of TAR.MD5 PACKAGER. The latest version I have has different options. It will not let me create a full rom unless the cache.rfs is there.
I am confuse and I need help.
These are the options I am presented with

and these are the options that are present in the tutorial.
