[Q] Samsung Galaxy S not booting + unrecognized - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening everyone,
Just a heads up that ANY input on this issue is appreciated, basically whats going on is I have the Galaxy S GT-I9000(international version) with Cyanogen Mod 7 installed and after rebooting my phone and clearing the cache I cannot get into the clockwork mod to recovery or clear caches or anything, however I CAN get into download mode but the device is unrecognized by the pc, ive tried anything imaginable to fix this.. changing computers, multiple drivers including the android sdk one but the phone refuses to boot past the gt-i9000 screen, as i said it can get into download mode but odin or hemidal suite do not recognize it and obviously kies does not as well.
any help in this situation is very much appreciated, the original issue was that it was stuck on the cyanogen mod loading screen but after restarting phone a few times it wouldnt even get past the gt-i9000 screen or into the clockword mod recovery, i think it may have to do with the actual hardware itself connecting to the pc, i seriously doubt its anything to do with software but anything i can try is very much appreciated.
ps i have tried multiple usb cords as well.
thanks in advance
andrew

Use jtag to put it in download mod

It is a driver issue , try the one from : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/

Yep, try Nexus drivers, they will probably work.

[Q] Need the rigth USB driver

Hi all,
Have a kind of brick at the moment.
Whats working:
Download mode
Recovery e3
The device is booting up, but I did the wrong battery mod for this firmware so it just vibrats and turns on and of.
The PC doesn`t recognize the device, it just sometimes shows up an unkowm device.
I have found this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777872 and now I have some hope!
I have tried to pick the Kies Driver (16 Shrewsbury) and all the others from Kies and also the google drivers from the SDK. But none from the works.
Someone can point me to the rigth driver, plase
Fortunately I still have my G1
Sorry for my English.
If you have a black screen after booting then try resetting back to factory settings in recovery mode.
Thank you,
I wiped al i could in recovery e3.
The device is booting up, sound is coming, I see even the SGS logo, after No package was found that provides the FACTORY TESTKEYS
I guess it´s becaus I aplyed the wrong battery Mod for my firmware
If your phone can go in download mode try to reflash a rom with odin
I allways extract the latest kies install file to hdd and pick the latest drivers setup package out of it. I NEVER installed kies just to get some drivers

Need Help with Boot Loop/ USB Issues

I recently tried Updating From Fasty 2.5 to Fasty II using rom manager with the most recent version of recovery installed. I had it Backup the preveious rom and wipe the data and delvik cash. everything seemed to be going fine until it rebooted and now it wont go passed the at&t World phone screen.
Another issue is i now can't seem to get into the recovery menu no matter what buttons I push. I can get it to download mode but for the life of me I can not seem to get any version of Odin to recognize the phone windows doesn't even recognize it when it was working when i'd plug it into any usb port. (This did work when I first rooted the phone but after no dice for usb)
If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it
U can't use Rom Manager to go from a Froyo Rom to a Gingerbread Rom. Try rebooting ur computer. Mayber that'll help Odin and windows to recognize ur phone.
Ok so i redid everything you said. I think part of my usb is dead or something (I was able to still charge until now it seems i plug it in while off but i don't get the big battery icon just the little Star like loading thing and then it stops).
my wife's phone is found fine, but my phone just is not recognized. thanks for the help but looks like i need to contact at&t or samsung unless you know of a fix for the USB issue i am having.

[Q] Captivate is in boot loop. Everything tried and still nothing.

Today while flashing to a ROM I wiped all data/factory reset to then installed it.
I've tried making a "JIG" And cant go into download mode.
I tried using the button combination to put it into download to use Odine3
But cant. I also tried recovery mode but cant get into that either. Everythinh I have tried will not work. All it is doing is showing AT&T boot logo then it shows Galaxy S Cyanogen(Mod) Logo.
Please help me. I have tried the Jig the every style button combination and still nothing.
Try buying a jig. Making one involves a lot of hit and miss variables.
If you built the jig right it should work.
Does your computer recognize the device if you connect it?

[Q] Big problems with my Galaxy....Help needed!!

Since yesterday my Galaxy S got stuck. It doesnt start anymore.
What happened?
I flashed my rom to the newest ICS. Everything went well and I used it a couple of days. Yesterdaymorning I did wiped the battery stats and cleared the Davik cache. I rebooted and it got stuck in the bootscreen.
I tried to got in recoverymodus but that was not possible. Bootscreen was all I saw.
Then I tried the downloadme. That is working BUT odin did not see my phone and KIES did also not recognize it. I have the right drivers. When my phone was working it was also not recognized because I am afraid the USB port is not good anymore.
Does anyone have tips?

can you go to recovery?
unfortunately not.
if i do the 3button trick the sreens stays on the bootscreen.
Change your drivers to the Nexus drivers in OP of TH ICS thread and try a different USB port.
Once in odin flash the initial CM7 kernel without reboot then go into recovery and reflash CM9.
installed nexusdrivers.
still nothing happens.
any other suggestions?
thx for the help!!!
Different USB port?
tried all 4 and another laptop
also used different cables.
almost start crying
-prereq-
install samsung drivers for your device and windows install type (x32/x64). It's quite important that you install 64 bit drivers on a 64 bit box and not 32, because they are ****ty and work 7/10 times used.
1. be sure to use the same port.
2. be sure to use ONLY the original cable that came with your phone
3. Make sure your phone is able to enter download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
if it does, it should install your drivers without issue about then.
4. If you can't use odin to restore your pda/csc/modem, then use heimdall. If that fails, you need to commandprompt heimdall into flashing with 512.pit + required files (refer for help to the heimdall readme included in their install) file after unpacking pda,modem,csc into the heimdall commandline exe.
If 4 does not work you need to unbrick it via 1clickbrick. It's a jar file you donwnload, dblclick and use.
thx for trying to help me. but I am afraid my USB port (mini) on my galaxy is not working. Tried 4 computers, several drivers but stil no connection possible.
Any other suggestions?

Nope..... I am afraid I lost my Galaxy...... :-(
Had the same problem on Windows machines - for some reason two of my Windows powered computers stopped recognizing my phone. Tried different drivers for no effect, so I gave up and tried it on linux and successfully flashed new kernel using heimdall.
I don't know if this is a legitimate solution because it's like going around the problem instead of solving it, but if everything else fails, try different operating systems.
try charging it..does it charge?
if it doesnt then go in a service and ask them to take a look at it.they will do that for a pack of cigarettes in their extra time.if its fixable and cheap(dont think of replacing the entire motherboard...sell this one for parts and buy another one, or find one with broken display and take em both to a service and tell them to replace the screen from your phone to the other)

[Q] Black screen of death and pc wont recognize

Hi!
I got this problem, when i was flashing my SGS back to stock and it lost the connection with the PC for about a half a second and that screwed everything up.
I now have a SGS which has "Black screen of death" when I try to turn it on or start in recovery mode, but the Download mode works but my PC only showes a "USB Not recognized" message and it dosent show up in ODIN.
Had no trouble with this before the flashing went wrong, so I think the drivers are ok but I have installed new ones, and reinstalling kies many times but it dosent help.
Any of you guys who can help?
Searched google and this forum for it, and tried different things but none of the guide / hints I found worked.
Kind of really need my phone so I would really appriciate it if some of you could help me!
Try uninstalling the drivers un installing kies and i you for any reason have i tunes of have ever plugged a i phone into the computer than uninstall both the drivers for the i garbage and the i garbage program. Then put thevphone into dl mode andvplug it in and it will automaticly install new drivers and connect
