Hello.
I'll get straight to the facts.
I had my phone rooted with Odinv3 using "busybox" (is all i can see on my downloads).
I then went to update to Gingerbread today, but didn't realise I had to un-root the phone!
So this made the phone keep refreshing the samsung galaxy S screen.
I then went to reboot to stock using this thread. Said it passed etc.
Now my phone is completely dead. It won't turn on. Nothing at all when i get it into download mode. No lights turn on. Odin *does* recognise it when I plug it in, the yellow box lights up.
The computer makes a noise to recognise that somethings been plugged in.
But alas nothing on the phone. I've left the battery out and tried it in but nothing.
What can I do please?! I am stuck here. And fear i just have wasted a great sum of money...
Will I be able to take it back on warranty? I haven't had it long, 3 months or so. Would they recognise it has been rooted despite it being put back to stock software.
Thanks. Daniel
You are a bit unclear, can you get download mode with 3 button combo?
Sent from my GT-I9000
tried many times to remove and replace the battery worked for me
sorry for the google translation
I managed to get into download mode by doing a 3 button combo earlier, can't remember what it was but I had to hold three buttons *THEN* fit my battery. THen it went into download mode. I can't remember which combo it was though as i've tried loads before and they didn't work!
It won't do anything now though.
Could i have booted it with a wrong ROM and that's why it won't load?
How come Odin picks it up and it goes through that passing etc?
THis si so annoying.
Volume down/power/home hold til galaxy s logo then release a yellow logo should appear

Sorry for opening an old thread. But i have aproximately the same problem with one exception:
Odin won't regognize my phone.
I was just in the process of installing this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136449
It got to the first step: "DO NOT POWER OFF DEVICE!!".. and then nothing. Sat there for 15 minutes untill i unplugged it.
shut down the phone using the power button, but now.. its completely dead.
This was offcourse before I realized i had just tried to install a ROM for SGS.. not SGSII.
So.
Odin doesnt recognize the phone.
The phone won't turn on, no matter what I do.
Nothing happens when I try to charge the phone.
I've tried pulling the battery several times, but its just .. dead.
However, when I plug in the battery, the phone seems to get hot. Not very hot, but just slightly above 25 degrees (aprox).
I'm afraid i've f*cked up big time, and have to send it in for a repair..
Anyone have a tip of what I can do ?
(Yes, the battery is charged - not empty).
Have you tried going into download mode again? does the screen power up at all?
My advice is try to leave the battery out for 15-30 minutes, then try getting into Download mode again, with the USB cable already plugged in and ODIN running on your machine.
See if ODIN can detect it and work from there... May be better than nothing. Hope this helps.

Did you know how to flashing the rom (via CWM) ? You have to notice your battery percentage first.
What exactly were you flashing? CF-root? where did you get it from?
I had the battery out through the night and tried again this morning.. didnt work..
It SEEMS to be completely dead.. (with exception from that the cpu gets hot when battery is plugged in.. )
I tried flashing this:
http://www.multiupload.com/6QNW8P7DTY
I came as far as "Setting PIT file.." "DO NOT TURN OFF" in odin, and then everything stopped.
The battery was at 70% when i started the process.
The phone have only been on for about 20 minutes since.
Hello friends,
I have a big problem. I'm relaxing on holiday in Italy when I saw that the battery was almost empty. Suddenly my phone rang in a loop all the time and saw the logo of the semphore kernel. I have removed the battery and attempt to start, but he remained in a loop. Again remove the battery and connected to a charger and leave it off because i was going to shop. When I came back to grab my phone it was incredibly hot. I removed the charger and the battery. But now my phone is doing nothing at all. Can not boot, no recovery mode and no-download mode. What should I do? Is my battery deceased? When I put on the charger I can see on the screen that he is charging. Hopefully someone has a solution or experience with it.
Yours truly Michiel
Try this..
1. Remove battery
2. Press power button for few seconds
3. After 30 min put the battery back
4. Try booting or going to download made now
Else, try keeping your phone for charging for a day and hope it works.
Finally get the usb jig and try it.

If you get download mode back, but not recovery, then flash the semaphore .tar with Odin and that should sort it,

Yeah the phone is alive. What works was: Remove battery, connect to pc then 3bc and replace battery. After this i came in download - mode and i installed a stock rom.

Dear all,
Yesterday, my Galaxy tab p1000 used normally. However, today, I can't power it on. It can't be due to batterry because I remember I charged it fully. My tab is running ICS 4.0.4 and everything is okay. Now I try many ways but it doesn't make any flash
Do you know what the error is? How to force it to power on?
I have tried to go to recovery mode and download mode but in vain. It seem deadly.
Hi
when you connect it to your computer, is it showing in sign of life? (on odin or heimdal) if it's a No, try to let it charge for 4 hours and then try to get it in recovery or download mode, if you get nothing, then look in YouTube for a video to how open your tab and unplug the battery for 5 minutes and plug it back, if nothing happen, get a new battery
ps : if your tab is still on warranty, don't do anything from above, get it to Samsung and let them do their Job.
best regards ^_^

Maybe it's time to upgrade to build 40?
Have you tried to go to recovery mode? download mode? or press the power button while plugged in to computer/or wall for more than 5 seconds?
it has no signs of life. I have tried every ways I know: go to recovery mode, download mode, plug-in computers... Perhaps I have to open it to do something with the battery. But, it have just changed it full a day ago. It can't run out of batterry so quickly.

you can't assume that the battery isn't dead, even if you charged it fully a day before, and maybe if you unplug it and plug it back it will came to life, we don't know

I had the same problem. I opened mine up and unplugged the battery for an hour. Then I charged it for 24 hours. Tap the screen and keep hitting the power button. That's how I got mine working. I hope this helps
P.s if you have warranty. Just send it in

I brought it to a warranty centre and they said the IC is dead. (the chip to power on) They asked me for 100$ for a new IC. hic hic. I didn't see they replaced it or not. Is there any way to check whether the new IC was replaced?
Hey guys, recently I've been having a problem with my battery. I've tried different roms and still have the same problem.
if the battery is fully charged, half etc and the phone is restarted, the battery screen shows up and shows an empty battery, turns off, restarts and shows the empty battery screen again, turns off, restarts and keeps doing this until I plug the charger in. once I plug it in, the battery shows full, or what ever the current charge is and phone starts up fine again.
I've noticed that sometimes the battery percentage goes up without being on charge or even sticks at a percentage for a few hours then drops a lot.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to solve?

I have found alot on my problem surfing through the forums with many saying they have solved the problem by flashing CM10 mod. Another that i found was a flash with "param.lfs". Apparently this solves boot problems but I cant see how to use this file.
Any help with a step by step guide or just any help at all is very much appreciated

just select it as PDA and flash with Odin3 , download from My Android Solutions
Thanks for your reply, param fix didn't solve my problem. The first rom I installed ( before I found the wonderful world of xda developers ) was this one:
aokp_galaxysmtd_jb_build-2.zip
Which I got from a site called "ibtimes"
(I've tried to post the exact link but I need to make 10 posts within the forums to get this option)
Since then I've had this battery boot loop problem. Restart works fine, but power off and powering back up gives this infinite boot loop. is it possible that this first rom has corrupted my phone?

Doubt it, it would more be due to wrong flashing procedures , anyway have a number of options to get over bootloops in My Android Solutions
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...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
I have looked in depth through the "My Android Solutions" and tried flashing a 512.pit and also tried a new semephore kernel without success, I still had the battery bootloop.
My phone does work if started with charger plugged in but its a worry if im out and about and the phone dies. theres no way i can restart it without the charger boost.
so.....
Im looking at the Recovery Kit now.
"i9000 Rescue Rescue Kit for i9000 using heimdall packed by ldq"
I have never used heimdall and the files within the rescue kit are confusing to know how to use them correctly.
I have looked within the forums for a "how to" guide using Heimdall but it feels like its over my head, and to be honest, it seems that if i make any kind of mistake i could hard brick my phone which scares me :crying:
:fingers-crossed: A total NOOB guide would be so greatly appreciated, or if there are any other solutions besides using the rescue kit Id love to know about them.
Thank you very much for your assistance

You can use the EZbase with root or Darkys, it uses Odin and has guide , all of them are rescue kits or even a JVU upgrade ROM (also mentioned in the top)
I tried quite a few stock roms with the same result, darkys 10.2 EE and darkys 11, 4.0.4 ICS and again same results. This morning I went back to the GB stock rom ( " I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA " with root file " CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS " ) and had the same results, battery screen bootloop after power down. :crying:
however...
After 7 hours normal use i powered the phone down and powered back up ( thinking another vain attempt ready to see the dreaded battery loop screen again ) and found the problem had completely cleared!!! Phone started like it normally should!!!
Very strange. I was ready to try a new battery and now there is no need. I'll keep powering down and powering up over the next 24 hours with different charge percentages to make sure the problem has 100% cleared it's self. :victory:
Will post back in 24 hours to confirm for anyone interested.
Thanks for the guidance xsenman, seems as though going to and from different roms with the 3 wipes each time actually solved the problem!!!
Too hasty with my last post.
Phone has started looping up at boot again with empty battery screen.
Tried another battery with the same results.
For it to work for most of the day normally booting up and to suddenly start playing up again leads me to believe that its some kind of battery stat problem.. maybe??
it powered down and powered up again fine from 100% full down to around 16%. lower than 16% and the phone looped with empty battery screen on powerup.
The battery percentage jumps quite alot after a restart, sometimes as much as 40%
surely it has to be battery stats being messed up?????
There are alot of procedures to reset battery stats on the net and a few in these forums.
I'll give some a try.
If anyone has a sure way to reset batt stats then i'd like to know please.
Thanks to anyone with help.
suggest you clean your Battery contacts on phone and Battery with cleaning alcohol and try to keep battery firmly in place with scotch tape or folded paper and give it a try
Hi!
I had the same problem.
I fixed with a sheet of paper that do pressure under the the battery for better contact with pines of the phone.
Good luck.

Thanks for the replies.
I've cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and also tried the paper trick having the paper under and around different parts of the battery, still the same, empty battery screen loop.
It only happens after power down then attemped power up, fine when just a reboot is selected though. When powering down it actually doesn't shut down, it goes into this infinite empty battery loop. I'm beginning to think some kind of hardware issue??
But also, i only started to get battery issues after my first ever custom rom install Cm9 jellybean which was not from xda. Sorry for repeating myself, im just completly stumped with this issue.

i have the same problem and i dont know what to do to solve it!!! :-S
it started when i flash a official cm10 nightly... then i flashed the stable cm9.1 and the problem disappeared... after a few days i decide to give cm10 another try and the problem started again... now i cant make this go away... i've tryed flashing other roms, even a GB JW4, and the same thing happen. I dont know what to do anymore!!!!!!
I feel the same way. It must be quite a rare problem.
Its very frustrating.
I just tried flashing that first rom i used. aokp_galaxysmtd_jb_build-4.zip which is a CM rom thinking maybe the first time i flashed was an improper flash.
still have same results.
Then tried Darkys 11 as they claim to fix bootloop problems but still have the same result. So im back to 2.3.6 GB JVU stock.
I really think we have somehow damaged the hardware by installing these CM roms.
Its as though the part in the phone which looks for battery charge in order to boot up fails and just shows battery empty until the charger is used, and also refuses to shut down.
How strange. How frustrating!!!
kilas_bff... I think we're stuck with our problem my friend. I have just brought a portable charger which i'll carry around incase my phone needs started after these battery screen loops, just to give it that initial boost of power to restart. Got mine from Ebay for £8 GBP which is about $12.50USD.
I just dont like the thought of really needing my phone while its in a battery loop. this portabe charger will be very handy and give me peace of mind.
Any more ideas on this is greatly appreciated. I'll try anything. :fingers-crossed:
As with all things funny have you gone back to a clean install of a stock rom via Odin? Run it stock for a bit and see what happens?
sent using my fat fingers from the robot eating the apple...
Stock is back in as of today. will take your advice and run it for a while and see what happens.
Another thing ive just noticed.... before going back to stock i performed the usual 3 wipes a couple times and even went as far as formatting system.
The picture I have attatched with my reply is what I was confronted with:
could these failures be causing my phone to act as it is?
I have searched about for clues and didnt come up with much. My forum searching skills need sharpened I think.
Thanks for the replies.
think it was just a bad flash initially...
stock rom and pit flash should see you right. leave it on stock for a day or so to see what happens then flash a kernal with cwm and begine the update to JB.
try this

Hello, Thanks for the reply.
Before I go on.....the factory format method I used before was not from recovery mode but from the dial pad *2767*3855# (PLEASE DO NOT TYPE THIS CODE IN UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO HAVE THE PHONE COMPLETELY RESET TO FACTORY)
That's when I got those 4 failures mentioned before.
I tried your suggested solution but not sure it has solved the problem, its basically reset the phone to Factory settings but had alot of unexpected errors and app shutdowns. Before I flashed the stock back on I went into CWM recovery, went to 'mounts and storage' and formatted every option apart from the 'Format Boot' option. All formats successful.
After another flash with 2.3.6.GB stock I tried the dial pad factory format again out of interest to see if I got those same 4 errors and BINGO!! all went without any problems!!!
So that problem is solved.
But my initial issue remains.....After power down it doesn't actually power off completely, just infinite empty battery screen loop until charger is used. :crying:
I'll stick with the suggestions from 'creative0100' and stay with stock for a few days to see what happens then flash a kernel, thinking semaphore kernel and go from there.
:fingers-crossed:
its been nearly 5 days since stock has been on, rooted today and put semaphore kernel on and still have that empty battery bootloop. Won't power up without the charger boost to kick start it back into life.
Does anyone have anymore suggestions please? I've looked quite deeply within the forums and some have had a similar problem but no real solutions as yet.
Just editing my post as it seems that the phone powers down and powers up totally fine when the charge is below 35% - 40%. If its above it'll bootloop showing the empty battery screen.
Ive tried charging to 100% overnight and then resetting batt stats as the charge percentage jumps about alot. seems very confused showing different charge values now and again and even charging when it aint plugged in!!!
Seems something in the phone is not reading the battery correctly.
I really am stuck on this and cant figure out how to recalibrate the battery so it acts normally again.

I was trying to install a custom rom but it went to bootloop , so I tried to do some wipes .. data+cache not system ..
when I came back after a while to my phone it was turned off .
pluged it to charger and turned it on
Nothing works!
cant get into recovery.
also cant get into fastboot to flash new files.
just red led on and off and bolt mark that the battery is very low after seconds phone open to huawei logo .
pleaaase help my to recover it :""( .
sry for bad English.

That happend to me, exactly the same after installing the b854, with red light led on and off
I tried to unbrick for one week
My solution:
Shutdown the device and let it charge for a couple of hours to reach enough battery
Then connect phone to PC by USB and next turn on the device pressing Volume down and power at the same time
For one week it didn't go to fast boot but after a lot of trys it went through
Try variations of pressing those buttons but always connected to Pc and try even connect to electricity

The solution is just one. Downloading the back cover and turn off the battery - have to disconnect the tape. 5 min battery strapped on again and everything should work.
