[Q] Stuck in a bootloop win not recognize - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Few days ago my i9000 crashed in a morning and sens then iam stuck ian a boot loop.
I know that i need to reflash rom thru odin my problem is the drivers, i tried few drivers that i found in the forum, sdk-from the cm9 post, kies and some more.
No one of these drivers can be recognized by my win 7 32 bit.
After that i took friend PC's and try on each pc different driver, nothing.
I'am dont know what can i do more then, thing i try everything.
I used I9000 with cm9 build 15.
If some one can help me to slove this problem , I was thenkfull.
p/s Sorry for my bad english

can you get into 3BR or download mode?

I can get into download mode

See if you are able to find a copy of this app "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" download and install on the comuter that you will be using
Allow the app to completely run as it does take a while to install if the computer is a bit slow.
Then try odin
Also make sue that Kies is not runnning a background process (use task manager)
If you are unable to locate the app PM me and i will upload as soon as i get a chance

Did that few times in a few different pc. win7 and xp.
Nothing.

sorry out of ideas
Maybe the USB jig??

Nope
Thank you anyway. I'll keep trying solving.

Have you plugged your phone to PC before? If no that why it couldn't recognize. If yes go to buy a new phone ). Just kidding, I don't know why it was like that. Did you try another USB wire?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

On my PC i pluged before , but on other pc's i'v install the drivers before plug him.
Also try another USB wire , cable ...
For sure i know that its problem came frome the win , cuz the phone is in dm he never get breake so i dont need to use the jig even.

CM9 = Galaxy Nexus Drivers
I had cm9 + sdk but i needed die drivers via Setup.exe

[Q] USB Not Recognised

Hello guys,
To cut a long story short, my cousin wants me to hack is Samsung Galaxy GT i9000.
I rooted his phone in August and it was working perfectly (I play around with my Desire quite a lot) and since then he's tried to get rid of the root to update to official Froyo and something has happened to the USB.
I have tried to install every driver known to man kind to get this phone recognised by 3 laptops and a Desktop PC. 1 XP, 1 Vista and 2 Windows 7. I have been using USB Debug Mode, I've tried it without Debug mode, I've tried every USB slot, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, kies, even deleted the phone from Device Manager and retried that... and nothing has happened. I can also get in to Download mode but unfortunately the computer still doesn't recognise the USB so therefore I cannot use Odin to flash the phone.
Any help? Cheers
Dan

Are you using x86 or x86_64 OS? Both of these drivers are available at: http://code.google.com/p/insanity/downloads/list -- try 'em?

Tried all that already mate, but I tried again just in case, and nope.. No avail whatsoever. This is majorly frustrating now.
I can access Android Recovery (eventhough originally Clockworkmod was on there, but my cousin has done some strange things to this phone) so I think if I can find a verified signed update.zip, I can install something through that no problem, via the Internal SD Card + "apply: update.zip"?
Oh and another thing, when I put the USB Cable in to the Computer and in to the SGS, the option for Charging, Mass Storage, Tethering etc doesn't come up..
Any light whatsoever?

[Q] i9000 USB connection not working at all

I have an annoying problem, when I connect i9000 to PC using USB cable, only phone charging happens, other that that, nothing happens, the i9000 is not aware of USB connection and so the PC.
I've tried this on 3 PC, 2 with windows 7 64-bit, and the other with XP SP3.
I tried installing kies, samsung usb drivers, even somene in another forum gave me an update file to apply it through the recovery mode but, with no sccess.
Also tried what others said about unmounting SD card,.....connecting in debug mode,.........
All no sccess

Do you have a custom launcher installed on your i9000? I have found (experience) that KIES will not fire if you are not using the stock launcher (TWLAUNCHER). Once I switch from LauncherEX to TWLauncher, KIES will fire and I can use it, the USB Mass Storage, etc....

Thanks for your answer.
I tried this also, but didn't work for me.
BUT the issue was solved. Don't know the exact mechanism, but here's what I did.
As android is a little brother of linux, I told myself why don't you give Ubuntu a trial. So, I downloaded and installed it, then after booting in Ubuntu, I connected the phone, 1st no success but then enabled debug mode and the phone & computer identified each other
Excellent, but no ODIN or KIES for Ubuntu , little depressed, booted into Windows 7 and BINGO, the issue resolved completely.
Maybe the big brother Ubuntu, gave his little bra a push
Try cleaning port on phone
Hi, I went through similar - only ubuntu didn't work either.... I eventually read in a linux forum though about cleaning the usb port on the phone with alcohol. As was at home then and tried on windows again and BOOM! drivers like crazy...
Might try that too. My phone was only 3 months old and never really abused but it worked so what do I know.
Ubuntu or alcohol, I'm happy now that my issue was solved

You don't have to know much about ubuntu, just download it, then install it as any windows program, boot into ubuntu.
After that connect your phone to the computer, and make sure to activate debuging mode on i9000. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the cable before it works.
I also find that my PC will only recognize my phone if I reboot the i9000 right before connecting it.
Quirky, but livable.
Actually this issue is strange, and when I emailed Samsung about this problem, they asked me to install KIES
Yes My phone to only charging when connect cable nothing else happen please any help

i have the same problem and found out that my phone has to be on idle mode... how do i put my phone in idle mode? it says to close all applications and i did but still nothing... and none of the above solutions worked for me.
my phone info is this:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I9000TUBJH1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 / [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.UBJI1
And to top it all my phone will not boot into download mode.
Guys,
I am having the same issue. This started when I upgraded my P from Win XP to Win 7. I tried the alcohol thing. I tried Ubuntu which could not recognize the phone, whatever mode (USB debug or not, media, kies or mass storage). Of course, I had tried before that to install the lastest USB drivers. I also tried Kies.
Nothing worked. Any further help ?

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.

Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.

Are you sure it goes in to Download Mode (little android with a shovel)? Also have u tried different usb ports?
Like the above said, are you sure you are in download mode?
What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.
Also, are you sure odin doesnt see it? I know windows doesnt like it, but start odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc. What does odin show? Any connected devices?

[Q] no cwm recovery , Odin not finding device after ics rom flash fail

Hi all , i hope someone can help : i was installing team hacksungs ics rom last night it seemed to be going ok at first but then got stuck at the animated splash screen (1 hr 45 mins) i pulled the battery and when i tryed to get into cwm recovery the phone keeps just bootlooping after showing google logo , i can get into download mode but neither odin or heimdall can find my phone and windows reports unrecognised usb device,heimdall reports- ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12. I have unbranded i9000. All drivers present and usb cable(s) checked and are ok....thanks in advance for any help
I have the exact problem and situation
Is the phone bricked for good?
You might need the drivers listed in the TH ICS thread. Before changing the drivers try plugging your phone into a different USB port
You might want to try a different computer, the libusb errors are common and are usually solved by using a different computer (I have seen those errors while flashing IPhones, they were resolved after reformatting or using another computer[I'm not saying that that is the only way of dealing with libusb issues, I just didnt bother with em after I found out that a fresh start/system fixes em]). Also, if you are into linux, try a linux distro on your computer and see if Heimdall works from there.
Good Luck
guys i have had the same problem on this phone. To be honest I am not sure I wanna stay on ics anymore alone because of this issue. Nothing wrong the phone is great but the driver problem is flat out pathetic when **** hits the fan.
Here is how I solved my problem. I installed and uninstalled and restarted my PC so many many times. Stuck my USB cable into multiple ports. If that didn't solve my problem i Installed and uninstalled the Samsung drivers (without kies).
Played around with device manager when it said the phone is not recognized by uninstalling and removing phone from USB cable and replugging . I installed the android sdk USB drivers and tried upgrading the not properly installed drivers with them (which I think hasnt helped much to be honest) .
All in all what I am trying to say is......that I was so ambitious trying to get it to run that at the end i got it to work after many many tries. With many tries I mean I was trying this repetitive process from 3 am to 7:30 am and it DID NOT WORK. I went to bed. Next day I tried fixing it using repeating the whole process from 5 pm up to around 830 pm.
I dunno how I got it to run at the end. All I know is the time I invested trying to get it to run were nearly 10hours of repetitive installing and uninstalling. Sadly that is the only tip I can give you. It seems to me as though it just randomly feels like working out of its ass.
I even brushed the USB port of my phone with alcohol and a brush. As mentioned above trying another PC is worth a try. I tried my sister's laptop without success though and even formatted my desktop for the sake of it.
The last thing I recall doing before getting this phone to get recognized on my PC was as follows: I charged it for an hour and then booted the phone in download mode and decided to try it again. And bam it worked.
But do give this method a try.
1. Plug phone to PC
2. Uninstall your device(exclamation mark) via device manager and then unplug your phone
3. Uninstall sgs drivers
4. Reboot PC
5. Install sgs drivers
6. Plug phone in download mode in again
7. If you get error, device not installed properly then open device manager and uninstall the exclamation mark again
8. Unplug phone once uninstalled.
9. plug it in again
Also guys, just out of curiosity what is your OS and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Good luck
P.s: I know this post isn't helping specifically but I believe the only solution is playing around with the drivers and device manager until it decides to work. I might install another rom (Ive only experienced this with ics so far. And this seems to be a common issue apparently. Does this happen to people on 2.3.x as well ?) tomorrow cause this issue is too time consuming should it occur again. Only had it with nushor kernel though.

Bricked even with download mode ?

Hi All,
here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.
Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)
Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...
Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.
Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.
Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.
You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.
From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.

thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.
I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...

I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?
Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)
Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..

Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.
Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.
Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.
If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.
EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.

They're charging me 50$ to reflash, extra 25 for 1 day service
Getting my baby back 10 am tomorrow... Whoohooo !!
