I need some help..

So I was trying to root my phone the Samsung Galaxy S I9000M. When completed odin1.3 had said it'd passed. The phone now just has a loading bar then restarts and goes back to the same loading bar. It's been doing this over and over. I'm totally stumped and really could use some advice. I've tried reading on what to do but can't find nothing. My phone now only has download mode and nothing else please help - Thank you Meech

Download a new rom from samfirmware. One that has ALL COMPONENTS, probably a 2.1 eclair firmware, and flash with repartition, that will fix problem.

[Q] accidently bricked SGS using Odin

Hey Guys,
I hope this is not a complete repost
I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.
Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.
So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.
Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.
My question to you is:
What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.
I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.
Please please help me.
Thanks you for your time.

The same thing happened to me I just flashed a stock rom using odin and haven't tried flashing anything else yet

Urgent help needed please!!!

Hi all.
My wife hqs a I9003. She was running rooted stock 2.2.1 KB1FW on it. Everything was fine untill about 4 days ago. Thay's when without reason the whole Android system started to fail. Clock, Maps, Messaging, TW Launcher, etc all gave error and forced closed. She only had about 10 or 15 apps installed and all on phone memory. So I did a Factory Restore thinkg it would help but it was all still the same.
So I flashed KPE (all 4 files) and a new error started: after 1 or 2 after the factory restore on new FW, phone crashes and goes in to a boot loop (Samsung logo and intro screen). Once I manage to get back to Android, it's reset to factory settings (install wizzard). I've flashed KPH, KB1, KB3 etc and it's the same problem all the time. Was flashing the APBOOT file from KPE a mistake?? How can I fix this?? I don't have a backup and even if I did, I can enter download mode but not restore mode (Vol Up + Home + Power).
Please, I need help urgently
Thanks

Before this all started did she install some unknown kinda software/app from the market?
Also while flashing did you use Latona.pit file?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk

Nope. Thay's the weird thing. On mine, I'm constantly installing/deleting from the market, blackmarket and other sources and have no problems. All the apps she had, I installed myself and were all "safe".
As far as the pit file, I used it first joint with the other 4 files (like I did for my I9000) and after I used it on it's own. I've tried first the pit file, then the FW files, just the FW files and the pit + FW files with and without re-partition checked... I'm running out of ideas and getting desperate...

Sounds to me like the phone has developed a hardware fault.
Things do just up and die sometimes..

Could it be the battery??? She hasn't dropped or banged it at all. Mine had a slight swim.and is still perfect. If I flash it back to a European KB1, would the warranty still cover me??

Try to do the following:
Select only latona (.pit) and repartition in odin. Put the phone in download mode and flash.
Next reset all. Select pda, modem, csc file from XXKB3 firmware. Dont choose repartition and flash.
hope it works
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk

Tell me teh method what you followed to flash? Like first, the pit file with re-partion,auto-reboot and F.reset time checked. And, then, the other 4 file of the SAME Fw with the auto-reset unchecked. Also, Did you click on the reset button after flashing the pit file?

Had done that before but just did it again. So far it has crashed once but didn't revert back to factory default this time and I now have the recovery mode again.

I've done it various ways as I explained in the first post. With and without re-partition, with and without the pit file, etc.
But I had a minor brainwave this morning after the first crash on XXKB3. The microSD she had in her phone was an 8GB she got with her old Xperia. It was used under Symbian and when I put it in her Galaxy, I think I had formatted it with the PC but not with the phone. Can't remember (she has it since May). In any case, she didn't have apps stored on the SD but she did have all wallpapers, photos, music, ringtones, etc. I've now removed the SD and see how it goes. Just thinking that maybe the SD is f****d and could be creating a shortcut or inestability with the phone... Worth a try as I'm all out of ideas.
Thatnks to everyone for the help you're providing me with this issue. I suppose it's weird that after flashing many different ROMs the problem persists and is still the same. If all else fails and I re-flash the XXKB1, do yo guys think Samsung will take responasability for the problem?? I have it unlocked with the app thats on the market, but AFAIK I have the EFS folder backup stored somewhere.

Well phone still switching off with the XXKB3 FW. It's only switching off now tho... No boot loop. And at least now I know it's not the SD at fault. I'll try re-flashing XXKB3 tomorrow as I only flashed it once today. Then I'll do a factory format and reset battery stats once I flash the CWM. If after that it's still the same, I gues I'll have to restore the EFS folder, flash the XXKB1 FW and send it off to Samsung and hope for the best... Unless anyone has any other idea I can try???

No. Anything that is done using Odin voids your warranty so when visiting service centre just flash to the firmware that your phone came out of the box then tell the service centre staff the phone just went crazy or anything like that just dont talk about Odin to them. And try this out.
1. Download an app called Rom manager from the market.
2. Make sure you are rooted.
3. Go into rom manager and hit fix permissions.
4. Reboot.
That should do it. Or else its the service centre.

But if you dont come from russia which the csc says ser which is russia then they will know its definite you used Odin as there is no other ways you could get to a firmware of another region where you don't even come from using Kies unless you hacked Kies which also voids the warranty.

Then the warranty will be voided didnt you see they said warranty will be voided if not bought within the country or something like that.??
Sent from my GT-I9003

That is complex! In, India, You just go into the service center and tell him your problem! He will check the FW version and tell that you void warranty. Just SHOUT at him and tell him you are a developer ..VOILA! He will service it! He will take a hell lot of time for a small problem though!

And if I'm willing to pay for the repair?? Or maybe load a europe CSC file on it... Had a bit of a bright idea today: switch batteries. She's using my I9000's battery at the moment. Let's see if it doesn't turn off. My I9000 fell yesterday, had a rubber cover on it so the bang wasn't bad BUT my loud speaker has blown out seems easy enough to replace and I do laptop repairs so shouldn't be too much hastle to sort it myself. But so much for the Galaxy S being the iPhone 4 killer... Sem to be quite delicate phones...
Bit of off topic: anyone know anything about the Galaxy S 3??? If and when it's coming out and some type of details.. Galaxy S 2 was a big failure with more problems than the one I have according to what I've read on the internet...

1) Galaxy S3 will be launched once Nexus Prime is out (also being made out by Samsung)
2) Nexus Prime will be released some time in October so S3 will probably be released late October or sometime in November (more or less - to compete with iPhone5)
3) Galaxy S2 is one of the hottest selling item in the WORLD right now - i guess you have read some biased reports about its performance issues.

Just thought I'd give you all a quick update on what's happened with my wife's I9003.
After trying everything possible to fix it via flashing, the whole internal memory collapsed. It wasn't even able to finish installing the last firmware I flashed on it.
I took it to the shop, told them what happened and the sent it off to the technical repair service. That was on the 5th of this month.
Got it back today fully working!!!
They changed the main board as a faulty part, so even though it was unlocked with no EFS backup and was flashed numerous times, the guarantee took care of the repair
Tomorrow I'll root it and install ROM Manager and do a backup of the firmware before I flash it to Gingerbread, as they've returned it with Froyo and carrier boot screen. And this time I'll keep a backup of the EFS folder too LOL
I wonder is there anyway to force a main board to break via software, would be interesting for those that have voided their warranty by unlocking or flashing, if the board is broke, any changes become untraceable.
While I'm here, just a quick question: When I do the backup via ROM Manager, will it backup only the PHONE part of the firmware or will the MODEM & CSC be included too?? If it's only the PHONE file, how can I backup the others???
Thanks to all of you that responded to my original post and tried to help me with the phone.

[Q] Need a little help

I soft bricked my Captivate flashing Mosiac over MIUI , finally managed to get it into download mode and ran Odin One Click 2.3.5 but it freezes at setup connection. I've done this multiple times with the same result....Any ideas???

Captivate connection issues help
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Thanks b-eock but maybe you misunderstood my post. I'm in download mode and Odin recognizes my connection it just freezes at setup connection.

You may want to give a Heimdall-based option a try. Sometimes when Odin won't work, Heimdall will. Just remember to use the phone on the same port where you install the Heimdall drivers.

No I understood completely, that has everything you need...
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Well, beock is most likely right with the connection issue. Sound like a bad cable.
Second, flashing from an aosp type ROM (which MIUI is), i would not recommend trying to flash bootloaders. It well usually cause a loop, as you found out. Your on the right track. Flash to stock, then any different Samsung ROM you wish.

Thanks b-eock and everyone else who tried to help. I pulled the battery and got the firmware upgrade failed screen and ran Odin from there. Gotta love the Captivate....just cant kill it.lol

[Q] Samsung splash sound but no display. HELP!

Hi everyone, as you can see I am a n00b and am in need of help.
Basically I upgraded my n7000 after running a German version of ICS (4.0.4 I believe) to the latest UK Jellybean. All worked well except that JB is pretty slow and totally drained my battery. After becoming frustrated I decided to try to flash my phone back to ICS and found a uk/Ireland version (4.0.3). I popped the phone into download mode and ran Odin successfully. Jobs a good one.....until I tried to restart my phone. It appeared to boot up as I could hea the Samsung splash tune, however the LCD didn't light up, nor any of the touch buttons. In a panic I tried to revert the phone back to JB which appeared to work except I still have the LCD/ touch button problem.
So, can anyone help at all? I can put it into download mode and connect it to Odin however KIES doesn't appear to see the phone when it's on and plugged in. Should I send it for a JTAG repair, or can this be fixed via the PC?
Thanks in advance!

Thats an odd one really, but I would try flashing stock GB with pc odin, there are many fewer flash problems with gb and it's a good place to start.
Forget connection to kies, so long as you can connect to odin.

Thanks for the prompt reply SpyderTracks, I will give that a whirl. Any reccomendation of where to get a decent stock GB as I tried from Sanmobile and they only seem to have later ICS and JB. I did try to download a copy from an old thread on here but I couldn't unzip the file with win zip or winrar both said "unknown compression type" when I tried to extract even though I could see the tar file inside. :S

Great stuff, should be easy sailing now. Best of luck.

Mine did that when I put the DBT release 4.1.2 on my phone, then put a custom kernel. Reflashed it several times with
no luck, then, tried a kernel from a different developer and it worked just fine. Downloaded the original kernel I was using
(speedmod) and flashed it again, and sound but no lights. Put Philz kernel back on it and it worked. Not sure what the
deal was, but with my device, the DBT LT5 rom and speedmod, I couldn't get any video.

Thanks SpyderTracks all working now, battery is a bit iffy but I think that is hardware more than anything else, I've changed the charge port and it's the same. Both batteries are fine in my girlfriends phone though. Hey, at least it is alive!
P51D - yeah I got totally worried, it's really odd, plus I couldn't really find anyone else who had this problem when I was searching. Thought I may have had to go for the JTAG route.

In my 40 + years of fixing electronic circuits, I've always found that troubleshooting ALIVE, although not working properly, is a hell of
a lot easier, than troubleshooting DEAD
