Hello Guys,
I'm quite an intensive flasher and never had a problem ever, running lovely ICS at the moment and my phone is fine. But here's the problem, a friend of mine also has a SGS and hers suddenly got stuck in a bootloop today (she had stock on it, never did anything to it and had no flashing history or something). So I said, let me try to fix, I should be able to reflash the software and it should be working again. Sadly enough, it didn't go as I hoped.
I flashed JVU trough Odin with Pit file.
(Sadly enough I am not allowed to post pictures, goo.gl/28pPX < pic link)
And as you can see, No problems there. Everything went fine. So the phone boots, and then this happens:
goo.gl/D0vnU
This happens everytime, no matter what i try to flash. First time I have ever seen this and I just don't know what do with it..
When I try to reboot the phone it just starts bootlooping again. I'm clueless, so can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks in advance!

I would just flash the same jvu but with bootloaders

Try to flash this rom is one of the best Gingerbread roms, just follow all the instructions there.
good luck
You say : flashed jvu through odin...did you have 3 files(phone , modem ,cscand odin pit file) and have repartition checkbox ticked in odin?? and can you get phone into download mode???

You just have to find a small file called " dbdata.rfs " amd flash it through odin (in pda ) .
Or you can always download a full firmware which have four files .pit, csc, modem, code and flash them with odin and u will be good to go!
Sorry for the late reaction (and the bump of the thread).
I did flash trough odin, like 9001 times. Everytime I would just get into a bootloop, Stock or Custom Rom. I was able to get in CWM but that was just a mess. It had to do with a faulty SD-Card or something, its @ Samsung now. Anyways, thanks for the help everbody!

So like everyone else having issues i'll explain mine if anyone cares. I flashed to JL2 yesterday, had it up and running no problem. Decided to go back to a more stable rom because my GPS wasn't stellar. upon flashing back to JK3 my flash went good, the phone rebooted and then got stuck at the busy icon (looks like a flower and usually goes in a circle) anyways, it shows that for a second then reboots.....does this forever. Pulled the battery and boots to the first screen for a second and reboots.
I can no longer get into recovery mode, BUT download mode works. I can flash anything I want, it passes using odin but still does the same. I've tried re-partition using different PIT files, different roms and still no luck. I'm almost at the point to take it back but honesly I dont think this is the SD card issue, I think it was just a bad flash. anyone able to get theirs back from this state??
again, no recovery, only download mode. keeps rebooting, I DO NOT see the S logo.
I've answered you in the UGJL2 thread, hopefully those instructions are clear and they help

You helped and brought my phone back from the dead, followed these instructions.
Flash the file you extracted from Chainfire's ROM in PDA, and have "Phone Bootloader Update" checked, and that's all you should have to do... (I'm using Odin 1.52, if that makes any difference...)
If that fixes it, then Samsung has done it, and if not, then they haven't fixed it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10040911#post10040911
follow that thread if you want more detailed instructions, within the JL2 rom there is a SBL.bin file, when you tick the phone bootloader update it uses that bin and that's what brought my phone back from dead.
So i tried to updated to a custom firmware after i JUST received my galaxy S back.
And it got bricked.
It failed during the initial flash with Odin, no big worry i thought as i'll just reflash it. It constantly failed until I changed the USB slot. Now after I've even completed the flash the phone boots up shows the "GT-i9000/m" logo then shows those 9 bars that show its trying to load the battery charger. Then the screen goes black and it tries that over and over again.
Anybody had this problem? I think it's a soft brick and can be resolved before sending it back in and losing the phone for another month.
is download mode working then ? does odin recognise the phone ??
if so download a stock firmware with all 3 files and pit. and use re-partition. and see how that goes.
actually if it is a software problem there are lots of possible procedure to fix that just reflash it with an official firmware using odin
I've tried the following:
use odin 512pit and a tar file and using odin with a 803pit and a tar file.
Both resulted in the same thing.
Is there a specific FW i should try?
edit:
With and without repartitioning.
try JM8 with PIT and pda.modem,csc. and re partition again.
I know wher eto get JM8, but how/where do I get the PDA.modem and csc?
hmm yea i know what u mean, most modern firmwares only come in 1 file now. download that. but im not sure what pit to use. il have a look now.
i think its 512 pit
here try this
Tried everything. I think it might be a hardware error.
Last ditch effort of Jm8 in odin 1.0 now... will let you know if it works.
Edit:Nothing worked.
Gonna go return the phone/send it back to samsung.
Double EDIT:
Flashed the phone back with JL2 that i got from Samsung and checked EVERYTHING in ODIN. Phone went past the boot logo repetition and into the "S" but doesn't do anything more. Just gets stuck after that. (corrupted internal SD)
so if the JL2 didnt succeed what would be on it at present ? if its a custom rom just go back to odin do a flash and disconnect half way through and totally brick the phone..
then blame it on a kies update when you return it. you dont want them to find out you have modified it in any way not recommended by samsung. or they may not replace and may charge you.
Hi guys,
I think I possibly screwed up my wounderful sgs i9000 european edition
First of all I have to tell you how I came to this...
A long long time ago, today afternoon 17 o'clock european time I wanted to test the great CM7 and so I did, of course first I failed to flash it but then it worked. The phone worked fine but there came the point when I wanted to use samsung's firmware again, cause it has the apps I love.
So I just connected my phone with Odin and tried to flash a original Firmware, I think it was JS7. It worked, but then my phone didnt boot after the flash.
So I managed to make the phone boot into download mode, what is the only thing that works at the moment.
So I connected it again and tried to flash my phone one more time but then it didnt work
Odin stuck at the line "set pit-file" or somethin like that.
Well. What could I do? Reconnect and try to reflash and it doesnt work again
Do you know, guys, what I could do? I need my phone every day but atm it cant be flashed
Now I tried to reflash it again and I stuck at the line "SetupConnection.."
Maybe I should try to flash another kernel and try to flash a custom rom trough CWM? Maybe that would be the key for me?
My phone stuck at "SetupConnection.." since 10 minutes or so
PLS help me
best regards,
alex
is recovery mode working ?? if so do a full factory reset.
Get your self a firmware with all 3 files and PIT. something old like JM8 or even back to eclair.. This should contain the dbdata which ive had trouble with in the past.
When you have all that, connect your phone to odin and try again, Make sure kies IS NOT running (even in the icon tray) and make sure your drivers are upto date.
If download mode works, your phone will survive. As for Odin sticking on 'Setup Connection' That's something to do with the phone connecting to the PC.. Maybe try another USB port, or like mentioned previously, Kies running or out of date drivers ????
Anyway try the above steps. and post back your results.
Oh dont forget to make sure RE-PARTITION is CHECKED when your using Odin.
well, thank you very much for the useful information
at first I tried to flash my phone at my laptop, then on a pc, but it just didnt work
but now I 'm succefully flashing it again trough my laptop and hopefully it will work again
And yeah, DL Mode works fine, but nothing other
Well, seems to be that my phone just was flashed succefully
Damn, I was so scared that I have to return the phone to the reseller
Wonderful, it boots again
I wont take it easy as before with the flashing.
Sorry for the trouble created by me
And thanks again
gn8 (from my time zone) and best regards

Okay, I think I *** up my galaxy s real good I think...Everything was peachy yesterday when I perfectly flashed cyanogenmod 9. Then I decided to be a retard and flash a glitch kernel incompatible with cm9. Naturally the phone was stuck in bootloop. Then I followed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391) tutorial to flash back to an official stock ROM with odin to hopefully start over. However odin fails everytime to complete the flash (it always gets stuck when flashing modem.bin) and I have to pull the battery out to start over. I now also have to force the phone into download mode by putting in the usb cable holding vol +/- followed by putting in the battery, the normal button combination doesn't work anymore.
So in short: flashed incompatible kernel with cm9, tried to odin a stock rom but odin freezes at the end for some reason.
Please help guys, time is running out because the battery isn't recognized anymore by the phone, so it doesn't charge.
Many thanks in advance.
I dont read the guide....
But do you have flashed with pit and re partition?

Yes, I did exactly what that guide said.
I will try one last resort, trying everything on windows xp instead of win7. *fingers crossed*
Don't think it's an issue with your OS, Odin is a very "simple" tool.
I recommend trying another firmware. Like a newer Gingerbread ROM. And be aware that there are different ROM's for different GalaxyS Model (like Vibrant I9000B)
Yep, you were right, the OS isn't the issue. Odin acted exactly the same. Will try a gingerbread ROM. Will I need a pit file?
Yes you need
Sent with my Galaxy S using Tapatalk
Well...I've already tried like seven ROM's, custom and official. Odin hangs on every single one of them. And always at the modem.bin file. Could it be that something in the phone where the modem.bin has to be is damaged or something?
Edit:
I fixed it! Thanks everyone!
@nicolas_cage, I am having the same problem, how did you fix it?
Hey everyone,
I was asked by a friend to update his moms Samsung GT I9000 (stock rom up until now) to Cyanogen.
I've played around with CM before and figured it would be a piece of cake, but I guess I was wrong.
I've followed this guide to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
Used the semaphore .tar mentioned in the thread and used Heimdall to flash.
All went well untill I tried to reboot into recovery, step 10: I get a bootloop.
Normal reboot ends up in a loop as well, but I can access download.
I've tried to reflash semaphore with both Heimdall and odin. Heimdall says it's worked but doenst get rid of the bootloop, Odin just didnt recognize the device at all.
So I figured I would flash something else, but what?
I downloaded CM recovery from this site: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager but it doesnt have a flashable image as far as I can see. (Odin doesnt think so anyway and creating a .tar file doesnt help).
And when I checked this thread for the original software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640906 the links are broken.
I've also tried the JVU mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247484 and found it here http://download.chainfire.eu/132/CF-Root/SGS/, no luck.
Last but not least I downloaded Kies in the hopes of changing the USB drivers, allowing Odin to recognize the device, that helped. Now Odin can flash, but I still end up in the same bootloop.
There must be something I'm missing here. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?
Yoora
Anyone?
I've been searching through the forums and I can find about a 1000 ways to get download mode working again, but not what to flash once you get there....
I'm really hoping to find something today since I'm supposed to give the phone back tomorrow. So any help is greatly appreciated.
I think its firmware issue you need full firmware I mean pda phone. Csc
