What to flash a semi bricked phone with? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm new to this so bare with me.
My Galaxy S has been playing up recently and when I try to switch it on it goes to the first Samsung Galaxy S gt-i9000 startup screen, the screen then goes dark then the same screen reappears. this happens until i remove the battery.
Odin and having to manually flash my phone is all new to me so I would like some advice as to what to flash my phone with to try and get it up and running again.
many thanks.

many thanks.
on that link, it tells me to 'Put PDA.tar it into PDA', is this a file that should of been included in the download pack along with the pit file. because i cannot locate it anywhere?
also in odin, do i need to tick the PDA box when i upload a file into it?
thanks.

the package you downloaded.. can you tell me what are the files that are included in it..
When you browse the pda file in odin, it'll get checked by itself..

i have...
s1_odin_20100512.pit
boot.bin
cache.rfs
dbdata.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
sbl.bin

the link I gave, downloads the zip file .. JVU-RE.zip... in it you found all these?
from what I can understand you should have found two files..
s1_odin_20100512.pit
and the other one another compressed file which would comprise of the rest of files you mentioned..
along with odin files I guess
is that right?

haha, apologies i've worked it out. stupidity on my behalf.
i have flashed my phone, however it has made no difference. still facing the same problem. think i've got to face up to the fact that my phone is finished.

even after flashing this you are not able to get past the GT-I9000 screen?
the flashing was successful right?

yes the flash was successful but i still cannot get past the i9000 screen.

that's really weird then .. try flashing stock samsung firmware ..
you can download from this link
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1
would suggest downloading the one for your region and flashing in same way you flashed earlier.. this would give an unrooted stock rom on your SGS .. if this also isn't successful well then you should take it to service center.

[Q] Need help on fixing boot.bin and Sbl.bin for my Korean Galaxy S (M110S)

Hi,
I've wrongly flush a Hongkong ROM (JP3) to my M110s.
The JP3 ROM includes: boot.bin cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs param.lfs Sbl.bin zImage modem.bin
Now I've flush back the correct cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs param.lfs zImage modem.bin as well as the PIT file and I can get the phone booted with DH23 (The Froyo M110S ROM). However, I can't get the phone work with earlier ROMs.
So what I'm thinking is, my boot.bin and Sbl.bin are still in the wrong status (override by the JP3 ROM) and cannot boot ROM earlier than DH23.
My question is, is there any way I can flush the correct M110S boot.bin and Spl.bin or any other way to get my phone back to normal (can work with ROMs earlier than DH23)?
Many thanks
I don't keep track of the Korea ROMs, but maybe alovell83 can tell you which one you can use to Flash the phone again to correct all the files.
You can always try the Kies registry hack to let Kies do all the work to flash the phoen back to the stock ROM you were using before
Thanks, AllGamer.
Let me try Kies. BTW, what Kies registry hack is for? I did some search, and find it's about changing ProductCode ..

yes you change it to the version of the product you want, then set the firmware to an older version, and then you'll be able to flash it

For ANYONE who has ANY kind of problems with the South Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy S, namely Anycall SHW-m110s you can revert to the ORIGINAL factory settings (internal card format, rom, boot etc.) using the files from the archive from megaupload, which was posted above by Alin_GSM.
I REPEAT the link to use is on megaupload followed by /?d=FSYE7C1N
All credits for this go to him. I fixed my m110s, the 16gb version, using those files after i have used a korean .pit file to re-partition my internal memory and the telephone couldn't mount the internal memory.
Cheers !!
I tried to root my m110s and now can't boot, only have a GT-1000 screen holding. OOPS!!!
So I am getting the repair file mentioned in this thread. God help me what do i do with it. I can boot into recovery mode, have odin, just click start and boot up? Sorry I know I'm an idiot.
hello
Can anyone post a link with m110s roms? thanks

[Q] How to Flash XXJPY

Hi, I got the JPY ROM from the thread in the general discussion, and any time i have tried to flash it onto my phone, the phone refuses to start properly. It just vibrates a couple of times and black screens.
I am using Odin 1.3 and PIT 512 for this as it says on SamFirmware.com.
Is this the ROM not working properly, or me doing something wrong?
Mate did you click repartition in odin?If you did then you SHOULDNT!!!!
Try to get in to recovery mod with the 3 button combo and make a factory reset if yo had NOT clicked repartition.
In case had HAD clicked repartition in Odin then i guess you ll have to download a foul stock firmware and flash it.Meaning a firmeare that has Modem and CSC files aswell and not only PDA file...
I'm just about to flash XXJPY and I was just wondering, do I have to unroot 'before' flashing the single file (pda) XXJPY or can I leave it as is..?? Does it make any difference..??
Thanks

nah you dont need to have it rooted to flash JPY.
I believe the JPY file in the general forum is just an upgrade / high level package which is why you dont tick repartition. Usually look for posts by Richthofen- hes the dude who converts it to mid level packages so you can couple it with a CSC and modem.
hi there same thing happened to me i updated this thru samsung kies im stock at black screen would factory reset make my phone work again? i need help please please please

I am already rooted so should I un-root before flashing or just leave it rooted..???
And also have SGS Battery Icon Mod installed, again does this have to be un-installed before flash or not..??
Can someone post a link to the right ROM that I can use to update using ODIN that will not result in existing data lost ? The one that I downloaded is a single tar file (Size - 298,890KB) that contains these files. If this is the right file, do i just specify the tar file in the PDA and uncheck repartition ?

As per Odin tutorial i select Pit and repartition only when i have 3 files. Can you please advice where can i get 3 files as i have one file only from samfirmware?
My I9000 is international and factory unlocked....
right well were gunna need a 3 file firmware in order to use PIT. bear with me whilst i have a look for one.
probably samfirmare.com ?
yeah just been looking on there they all seem to be 1 file
Yes samfirmware.com has 1 files only.
Are you sure if i flash with 3 files and select repartition then it will solve my problem?
install another firmware like jpjpa with 3 files and then flash xxjpy on it
Will this work?

Returning for Stock Problem (To Claim Warranty)

Hi all. I need to send my tab in for repairs and I tried following the other guides in the forum so I could return to stock but I haven't been successful.
What I did to return to stock: 1. Used Odin to flash DXK (my region) firmware which came from samfirmware.com 2. After the flash completed successfully (flashed with .pit and the rom itself) it reboots and just perpetually gets stuck in the Samsung boot logo. What did I do wrong and how can I get it to boot to stock?
Help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: SOLUTION
Okay. It's confirmed. A fix for all your CSC and partition problems.
1. Go to noxxious' post # 53 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14160362&postcount=53
2. Follow instructions to the letter by flashing P1000DXJK2 - Full (Use Odin process not Heim)
3. Connect to Kies. Kies will notify you that there is an update, use that to upgrade to Gingerbread officially.
4. After the upgrade, it will have no partition problem and it will display properly XTC as your CSC on Kies. It's like a brand new non modified tab!
im in the same bout as you mate did just the same thing was working fine on voodoo lagfix wanted stock back flashed now stuck at samsung logo
All i can say is check to see if you still have the recovery mode in your tab by holding up volume and power button the let go of power and keep holdig up volume when you see it boot to samsung logo
If you have lost your recovery mode your stuffed your bootloader is locked and theres nothing you can do to bring it back its time for samsung service to sort it out
Can you still put your tab in Download mode?
If so, you can try to reflash DXK.
1. Use the p1.pit file for PIT and DXK for PDA.
2. Select re-partition on.
3. Maybe this time after the tab reboot and the odin pass you'll be stuck at the recovery mode, error will be E : Cannot mount dbdata. . .
4. To be out of this you could select format/restore, navigate using volume up/down then press home button to select that option.
5. Then go back to menu and select reboot.
-- inform me if this works.
Edited my first post :
Yeah, you're totally screwed with a protected bootloader!
I just downloaded the P1000DXKM2 @Samfirmware and discovered that it contains sbl.bin, boot.bin, and the zImage file size is 7860 Kb.

Sorry, did u follow my first post?
After i download DXKM2 in samfirmware i discovered that it contains new bootloader, containing zImage more than 4,000-5,000Kb.
-- in short flashing that with repartition will have the same result as your first attemp.
This time will you try to flash Roto's JMEv4_full safe rom. Same steps as my first post.

i encountered something similar to this before when i was testing out the 2.2.1 HK rom. i also made the mistake of flashing protected bootloaders onto my tab, though i reverted it back to unprotected bootloaders using Chainfire's and RotoHammer's bootloader patcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071.
as for my stock firmware then, mine was P1000DXJK2. what i did was dl the P1000DXJK2 from samfirmware. I then removed boot.bin and sbl.bin from the tar package (i patched the unprotected bootloaders onto my tab), and added a dbdata.rfs into the tar package. i then flashed using odin (flashed with no pit). and i got it back up and running.

So Samsung won't notice that I have unlocked bootloaders when I send the tab to them? Where do I get a dbdata from?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
nope. they won't notice. but if you want it to have signed bootloaders, you could just add the dbdata.rfs to the TAR package.
i have attached the dbdata.rfs that i used. got it form GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.

select re-partition and pit file?

Hello, im new to the world of galaxy note phones and need to flash N7000JPKJ4_OJPKJ3_XSG_Android_2.3.5 firmware through ODIN. I extracted the file and found just one tar file. Where do i select this file and do i need to select re-partition and pit file?
Thank you.
DO NOT, i repeat..DO NOT ever, check repartition or load a pit file.. this is the only known way to get a sure brick... you dont really ever need to flash a pit file unless you mess up your partition table.. if you look around the forum, the first rule of odin flashing is we do not play with pit files
