[Q] Help ... My Galaxy S is not booting :(

Hello
I bought today galaxy s
dirctly i went to install recovery to it to install any rom i want
i used this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
but the problem is when i finished the 7th step
it made restart and after 5 secounds it make anther restart and never boots
what to do now to fix this problem
please help me

try to remove the battery for 2 minutes. now reinsert battery and switch it on with menu button and vol -. if you go in download mode you can flash with Odin

if all fails get a download jig from ebay for £1.50, forces into download mode when you plug it into the charger socket.

can you boot into recovery mode? (Volume up+Menu button+power)
if you can and have CWM, try to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Also, from the main menu go into Mounts and Storage and format /system, /data, /datadata, /cache. Also, go into Advanced and wipe your Dalvik Cache
can you go into download mode? (Volume Down+menu button+power)
if so, you can go into download mode, and using heimdall or odin, you can flash to a stock firmware and kernel, and start again from scratch.

I had the same issue on my first attempt. Something to do with the different extensions used by stock Samsung & Cyanogenmod. As a previous post mentioned just remove battery, restart into recovery & flash again. make sure to clear cache & wipe system data etc.

Can this be a brick? (After downgrade from stock ics to stock gb)

I have just downgraded ics (germn) to gingerbread (german vfd2), everything went fine. Then it bootlooped. I waited a 2 min. Guess need to wipe data. Battery out. Battery in. Nothing. Nothing at all when I press the power button.
I flashed using Heimdall cli on ubuntu x64. I quadruplechecked the partition to file mapping.
What are my options?

Are you able to enter download or recovery mode

Reboot in recovery (Press and hold Volume up, power & home button)
Wipe cache (wipe data too)
It should boot now normally.

If you are unable to enter in recovery or download mode, then its hard bricked and you should try fixing it with USB JIG.

N7000 recovery lost after update to cyanogenmod 10.2

Hi and good morning,
after i flash Cyanogenmod 10.2 my phone lose the recovery, that exacly what i did:
Flash this stock kernel with odin (PDA only): N7000XXLSZ_N7000XXLSO_N7000ITVLS4_HOME.tar.md5 (everything ok)
Flash this recovery from the stock recovery (Vol+/HomeButton/Power) : PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-5.00.5-signed.zip (everything ok)
Reboot phone and reboot in my new recovery (everything ok)
Wipe data / factory reset (everything ok)
Flash this rom : cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip (everything ok)
Flash this gapps : gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip (everything ok)
Turn on the phone, configure the initial setup and everithing seems to be ok
But when i press the power button i only have turn off option (no reboot, airplane mode, profiles...)
Try to go to recovery: i turn off my phone, Vol+, Home button, Power button and nothing appends, after the initial n7000 logo nothing appears, only black screen.
But the download mode is safe, i can came back to the original stock with odin (flashing the pda only)
If someone has an idea, i finished mine...
Thanks

That's a bug with that release. Follow the rom support thread and you'd know that.

You can flash a newer nightly that has the recovery but fixed via mobile Odin or a similar program

[Q] Stuck in first Cyanogenmod boot?

Hi guys, first time posting here, sorry if a question like this has already been asked but I've looked around and haven't managed to solve my problem yet.
So I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Mini II (GT-S6500T) and used Odin 3.07 to install ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 onto it; I then booted it into recovery mode and installed ZIP from SD card, selected CyanogenMod 10.2 ("cm-10.2-20131202-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip"), followed instructions etc. installed Google Apps and all that.
Now, when I selected to start up the phone again, it just gets stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot screen, the blue arrow just circles around on and on (I understand that it usually takes a long time but I don't think it's meant to take over half an hour... also, every now and then I notice it kind of makes a low vibrate sound?).
I've read that to fix it you can reboot it into recovery mode and reflash it but the problem is I can't even get into the recovery mode. If I force the phone off (e.g. by removing battery) and hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Home + Power to boot recovery mode, nothing happens. If I just hold Power it starts up and goes straight into boot sequence.
I do have a backup of my previous settings and all that saved - one saved on my external SD card and the same file saved on my computer, so if I can somehow load that back it would be great I guess.

I mentioned earlier I cannot enter recovery mode. When I hold the button combination to go into it, nothing happens.
Earlier I managed to get into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power) and I reflashed a stock firmware, but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the Samsung screen and vibrates every now and then. I still cannot access recovery mode.

Managed to fix the problem but thanks for the help anyway. Followed one of the solutions here and removed everything, held power for 1 min, plugged my phone into the computer and managed to get into recovery mode. From there I did full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format /system (probably only necessary to do full wipe but I dunno), then restarted into download mode and used Odin to reflash stock rom, then reloaded recovery mode and reloaded my backup.
edit: My question now is, I'm not sure what I've done wrong in the process of installing Cyanogenmod to screw up this badly. Is it absolutely necessary to format /system before installing it? I did do full wipe, cache and Dalvik cache and mounted /system prior to rebooting and loading Cyanogenmod.

what i do > install rom > reboot > install google apps .. I had this problem aswell a while ago. what also can be the problem is when u don't format correctly..

Have You as well was unable to go into recovery mode and stuck on bootloop ? One thing I can do is to use Odin, tried to flash some stock firmware with no result. Still no acces to recovery and still Samsung logo loop. I searched, read many topics but nothing helped. Is there something except Riff Jig that could be done ? Thanks for response

-Flash stock rom via Odin
-Flash cwm via Odin
-Pull out battery
-Connect phone to pc (without battery)
-Wait until screen turns on
-Hold recovery combo keys until samsung logo shows (home+volup +voldown +power)
-put battery back quickly
-You should be in recovery now :wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
-Reboot.
I was in similar situation, if not identical. This worked for me. Good luck.
Edit: I didn't see you fixed it already. Ignore the post.

Struck at recovery black screen

Hi Guys,
I'm using Paranoid 4.6 beta5 i tried using power + vol up + home button to enter into the recovery mode but it just displayed a black screen. Now the crazy thing I did was I downloaded reboot to recovery app and used it and ever since then i am struck at the black screen i see samsung logo and then just black screen no paranoid boot animation what do i do now ?
Solution:
If someone falls in the same boat here's how i resolved it i connected the usb to my pc and did i restart which made it reboot in safe mode then i unplugged it and did a reboot from the power button and voila everything is back to normal

You need to flash a kernel or stock ROM in PC Odin and get recovery back

Try this:
I didn't experience any data loss but cant guarantee anything.
1. Download this http://d-h.st/HJM
2. Flash with PC Odin (Add via PDA button and make sure ONLY Auto reboot is checked)
3. Wait till completed
4. Boot into recovery (Which will now be CWM)
5. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache
6. Reboot
7. Enjoy
8. Smash my thanks button (Please.....)
Note: You will now be on Gingerbread 2.3.5 Rooted + CWM, and you're good to go.
