[Q] Can't boot :-P - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it all started on ICS when i couldn't boot because i had replaced a system file...
I flashed back to JVU, which when it was going to reboot just got black. I waited and pulled out battery... Then when i pressed power, nothing happened. Tried recovery. No reaction. Only download mode works. I flashed Darkyy Resurrection 9.3 (JS8] Which had exactly the same problem. Now i have flashed JVU once again, still don't work, same problem. What to do?

Did you ticked repartition when you flashed back from ICS to JVU?

As mentioned, if download mode works, a flash through ODIN using stock ROM with a pit file and repartition checked should fix most problems like this.

[Q] Boot screen 'corrupt'

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..

Oh no... please help T_T

I've been upgrading my android from 2.2.1 to 4.0.3 using onecomics ICS RC2.1 & RC2.1 kernel
Because of the USB recognition issue.. I tried to flash RC1 kernel on top of it
so by using CWM recovery mode, I've wiped cache and did factory reset and installed RC1 kernel and rebooted.. and it showed looping of start up animation without starting up so I forced shut and then from there......
Now if I turn on the phone, it will only show Samsung Galaxy S I9000 logo only and then will go into continuous auto reboot
volume up + home + power button will not take the phone to recovery mode
volume down + home + power button will show the downloading page but not sure what I can do with it..
Everything was working fine with RC2.1 mod & kernel until I decided to flash RC1..
If anyone knows how to resolve this issue please let me know.. otherwise my fone is gone.....
Thanks

Fortunately with Odin it recognize my phone even with that USB recognition issue but I don't know which kernel to rewrite with...
I've only got CF-Root-JPH-v1.1 which was the closest one that I had from my orignial froyo 2.2.1 kernel..
as I'm very confused I am not sure which is the best thing to do as RC2.1 kernel or RC1 kernel does not come in tar, md5, smd format to be used on odin....
(I'm not even sure if I am making any sense...)

flash some other GB rom first using odin and then try flashing ICS again... flashing RC1 kernel on RC 2.1 worked just fine for me.. so if you try again you'll be able to get it working

seems like you are new to all this.. I would suggest flashing some GB rom and testing it out for some time.. MIUI/ CM7 would be my suggestion.. after you become comfortable with custom roms only then go for beta roms like ICS..

weird flashing JVU

im from CM9 then flashed the JVS and then the midnight kernel using Odin3 v1.85
after flashing the JVS, it restarts and the CWM logo blinks then the password. i removed battery and then flashed the midnight kernel 0.8.4 using Odin too, but got stuck in the middle, at the zImage part. doesn't continue to flash. i've tried to install the latest semaphore kernel beta too, after flashed, it restarts then with the password again same thing happened after flashing the JVS. then i've downloaded the JVU rom and flashed it for like twice, then tried to switch kernels. but still couldn't go through the password.
how can i pass that password? i couldn't go recovery because it goes to the password again, only working is download mode, i remember when the first time i rooted my phone, it's not like this.
any help please? i left my phone at our home, i'm at school atm. because i couldn't even use it. thanks in advance!!

i think i have bricked my phone...i flashed speedmod kernel in the morning and in the evening i flashed s3 launcher..the phone booted fine..but after a reboot..the phone goes black after the samsung logo..i am able to go into download mode..please help..
If you can get into download, then flash a stock rom using Odin and see if this gets you up and running. Then try again.

Don't worry, if you did nothing else other than what you posted, it is just a soft brick.
Flash stock firmware with PC Odin.
I flash Cyanogen Mod in the morning, Gingerbread in the afternoon, mess up with it and flash ICS in the evening and just get a soft brick just stay on safe kernel, you'll be fine.

Don't mess up with boot loaders, repartition and PIT unless you really have to.
If you are on gingerbread, boot into recovery and factory reset.
It seems that you have soft brick.

[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
