Stucked on boot screen (the one that we usually see first with white letters). I did factory reset but I am still stucked on Galaxy S boot screen. I heard the default galaxy S sound but did not see the big 'S'. When I press Volume down + Home + Power , I just see a big triangle which says 'Downloading...do not turn off target'. This means that I can go into the download mode.
I installed odin3 and installed .512 PIT file as well as JH2 firmware from samsung-firmwares website. Inside the JH2 zip file I see a file with extension .tar (I think this goes in PDA section of ODIN).
After connecting my phone with my computer, I see 0:[COM6] in Odin. Plz guide me from hereon. Any help will be much appreciated.
NOTE: I was using gscript o change system fonts. Probably deleted system fonts. Then, I restored back to system and since then phone would not start. Well, it starts but I am stucked on this screen.
I am using Samsung galaxy S vibrant (Bell, canada [GT-I900M])

I am trying to connect to KIES because I think i can reflash using test mode.
Yes..I tried that? Did wipe/factory reset..then rebooted....got the same screen again.
Thanks for replying
EDIT: when I go to recovery menu (Volume up + home + power) and then connect with USB...I can see my device listed by using 'adb devices' command in the cmd prompt.
OK....When I connect my phone to my computer via USB, I can see 0:[COM6] in ODIN. I can go into download mode. I have downloaded JH2 firmware (zip file from samsung-firmwares website). I have Bell Samsung galaxy S vibrant. Can I flash with ODIN.

I tried to update my SGS to android 2.2 through kies wihtout puting my phone in to recovery mode. The firmware seems to be lost and the device cannot boot only give me a black screen with word samsung galaxy s GT I9000 wrote on it.
Iam very new in android devices please help me. I do not know what I should to do..
Mine did the same thing when I flashed with Kies.
Try this: Hold Volume UP, Home button and on/off button together until a screen with a few options appears. Select Wipe/factory reset from the list using the volume up/down button. Select ok and reboot. You will loose all your data but your phone will work again.

BTW You did the upgrade the right way. With Kies you don't need to go into recovery or download mode before flashing. Follow the previous posters instructions and if that doesn't work you'll need to search around here more, for other flashing methods or just to find out if your internal sdcard is dead.
Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...
Yohan
u cant even enter recovery?if u can,just wipe cache and data..

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.

so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install
Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.
It should work.
Hello XDA users,
Today I tried to update my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 through Samsung Kies and it's failed to update. So I follwoing the procedure on screen (To disconnect the USB, Take out the Battery and Reboot). Now my phone will not get past an error screen (Looks like a Phone -> Error Triangle -> Computer symbol) and I have no idea how to get it fixed.
I have been hearing something about flashing using ODIN but I am a complete newbie with this sort of thing. So ALL help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

Hey, ok first thing is you have to cheak if your phone can go into download mode. You do this by holding the volume down button, the home key and the power button at the same time.
Dude, follow this link and instructions and get your phone back with ease.

I'm not sure but this looks like a Custom ROM to me, I was hoping to get it back to Official Firmware if possible? I'm probably wrong here though.
So go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=-1#modelsa and download your disired firmware
Google Odin 1.8 and download it, then Google gingerbread (the version u were using) download xda. Follow the link, download the files then Google how to flash (version number) using Odin the android soul and follow there guide

If u can boot up then try upgrading through kies and then check if the recovery/download mode. If u Have the Latest update from Samsung then try the recovery mode. I am not sure though.

This only works if u have not rooted or have the stock rom
1) Download and install kies. (Latest version)
2) Open Kies Lite.
3) Connect ur phone to the computer.
4) Check for update. (download if available)
5) Already updated then click on phone recovery guide. (It install the stock rom again)
6) Wait for it to complete.
7) Pray that recovery/download mode works
Sorry for my english. And hit thanks please.
This sounds impossible. I think you are releasing the home too early. First hold down home and then press the power button and don't release it until you see the recovery's logo. In an hour of not booting, it won't die on you. It's just impossible.
If your device boots and rooted there are some apps on play store that boots to recovery mode
Sent from my device GT-S5570I in my own words
OK
If the first one did not work then
Please Download ROM MANAGER from google play free version works perfecet. It also install ClockworkMod recovery as it is an app of ClockworkMod
The link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
for pro version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager.license (you should have free version)
I recommend to not use this for flashing a new rom. I Just recommend it to install or update as I do not trust automatic services.No offence
