I was trying to flash my phone will juz got screwed when rebooting after changing font. But nothing I tried works, as I can't get into either recovery mode or download mode. I can't get my phone to start up, and the 3 bottons boot up thing doesnt seem to work.
Can anyone give me any help to boot up my I9000?
Mine powered on but blank screen.Try usb to pc And adb reboot re covery. Then do factory reset. This will wipe the phone but hopefully boot.

sounds like your internal SD might be fried.
there is a sticky topic about it.
that is the typical behavior

So is there any solution to this yet?
no, the only fix is to send it to the store and have it warranted, or send it back to samsung for warranty

I was gonna bring it back to Bell for repair, but I was juz wondering if my phone was rooted would void the warrenty?
not as far as i know
they just don't like it SIM unlocked
they don't care much about rooting as it's considered a "software app"
If you bricked your phone, I think you have lost your warranty.
so do you think Bell would help me get the phone repaired if I go and find them?
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...

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.
Follow this step

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
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.
i was trying to install cm7 after seeing it everywhere,i was on gingerbread. tried to install it it didn't work just went to recovery screen every time, then i read i had to be using froyo so i downgraded to froyo , successfully downgraded, i noticed i didnt have recovery nor download, so i installed rom manager so i can install recovery, didnt work so installed cm7 from the app, phone powered on then vibrated,went to random repair shop(Somalian) they said he can fix it, then he said i damaged the boot sector so he said he can do it, left it to him, couldnt do it, after he tried fixing it, phone didn't power on (worse) he did say samsung will fix it because he repaired the boot sector and they will fix it. phone was rooted with froyo software.
WILL SAMSUNG FIX THIS ISSUE, TOLD THEM IT WAS AN ISSUE AFTER UPDATING THROUGH THE KIES SOFTWARE . HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE
(IN THE UK) URGENT SENT IT TO THEM WAITING FOR IT

I think, therefore fail to understand, that might even fix it yourself. Could enter download mode?
You should have bought the USB jig to force boot into download mode. Less hassle.
Nevertheless Samsung will fix it for you.
no download mode
i wasn't able to go into download mode i tried many things, i thought of getting the jig but its for semi bricked i think mine was fully bricked.
you said they will fix it, have you tried it before and how do you know (no offence)
Hi,
Yes samsung will fix it, i did it once !
It's when i tried to flash my first ROM, i used ODIN and during the flashing, it failed, and i did not have the 3-button-combo to go back into download mode...
Result : Phone bricked...
I sent it back to samsung saying that my computer turned off during an upgrade using Samsung Kies.
They gave it back to me after 2 weeks!
if you're newly flashing the CM7, then after the installation, it goes bootloop then go to recovery, over and over. remove the battery, then go to recovery(volume up+homebutton+powerkey) then flash it again. try that.

That it can be repaired there is no doubt because it is a software problem and not hardware. I've seen in forums that if you can not enter the download mode, you can force hardware, you put a resistor in the USB cable, but in the end for a normal user is a bit complicated, my advice would carry it to the Service Center. And the price can be from free to relatively inexpensive because it does not have to replace any parts.
phone is back
they fixed the phone free of charge and the bonus is my phone was 8gb now is 16gb for some reason
thanks for the replies

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?
No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick
Thanks for your help

Unable to enter recovery mode
Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.
Is there anyway I can get back normal mode without losing data on phone

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.
Thanks.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!
Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

So I'm stuck in bootloop in ICS stuck for some reason, and trying to flash stock GB.
For some reason my PC cant recognize my phone after the boot loop happened..
If I have tried reinstalling KIES and everything but nothing seems to work. It has something to do with the samsung mpt driver that doesnt install correctly..
How am I supposed to flash kernel and firmware if I cant get the phone to connect?

Well It came up with an update about ICS, so I updated the phone and rooted. After a couple of weeks it just froze, and when I tried to turn it on again it hangs on the samsung logo..
I have tried pulling out the battery and restarting from cwm, but it doesnt work.
Smells like bricking...

Try reflashing stock gb via pc odin. If it works, do a factory reset / wipe on gb. Never do that on ics. Its got the eMMC brick bug. Once done that, flash any other rom that you like.
If the flashing fails at factoryfs writing in pc odin, your phone is affected by the ics brick bug.
If ur phone is still under warranty and your binary count is zero, go to the service center and tell them that your phone wont start after updating. Dont tell them that you had updated a week ago and that you rooted. Claim warranty.
Else you can repartition the internal sdcard using forest's guide or the pit method. Youll loose about 3 gb of the internal space and your brick bug will still haunt.
Claim warranty would be better.
