Samsung Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed I897UCJF6-final-CSO REV0 it is Odin3 One-Click downloader and I started it on the PC and USB cable for mobile in PC and installed it. Everything went great and now when I want turn on the phone show me pictures of the "at&t world phone" and mobile phone constantly restarts... not impossible at all turned on. Does anyone know what should I do?

Hi , if you can get into recovery try reflashing ....if you cannot get into recovery you will probably have to get into download mode and flash a stock rom .

you will have to buy a usb jig(ebay £2) this will force download mode.

As long as it boots up, there is no problem. Try the following (you will need some help):
1. Pull the battery
2. Press Volume down+Homebutton+Power at the same time
3. Let a friend put the battery back into the phone while you are pressing the buttons.
Maybe the phone will go into DL mode so you can flash a new ROM. I advise you to flash a clean stock ROM from sammobile.
If this doesn't work, you will need a JIG.
Cheers!

After flashing the 2.3.3 GB.....

Ever since I have flashed 2.3.3 I've been having problems.
-Download mode can only be accessed from adb reboot download
-The only way I got drivers to recognize in download mode was to install them from Samsung Kies mini.
-No button combination works to get into download mode, it takes you to recovery mode every time.
-My four touch button lights will not shut off after turning phone off and vibration confirming shut down.
Once I finally got it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click, I used Kies mini to upgrade to 2.2. I still have these same problems, all which started happening after I upgraded to the 2.3.3 SamFirmware leak. Not only have I been reading these problems from this leak but from other roms using 2.3.3.
To clarify, I am not blaming anyone, I am simply looking for a fix or to be told that I have done something wrong. Anything will be appreciated, thanks.

I have tried the 3-buttom combo - volume - and + along with the power. release power when att boot logo comes up. I've even tried to hold power down and let it cycle through the boot logo a couple times before releasing it. No luck, only recovery mode.
remove battery, sim, sd card. hold both volume - and +. put in battery and Usb cable as soon as battery is in. no luck, only recovery mode.
I've even tried the i9000's download mode. I think its volume down and power...only recovery mode.
The only way I was able to get into download mode was adb reboot download. I haven't tried a jig.

I got the same issue. The worse thing for me is I cannot get it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click because the driver can't recognize the device any more (It works fine before flashing to GB). How do you get it back to 2.1 stock?

I downloaded kies mini from the samsung site. Once installed, you can find an option to install the phones drivers when the phone is recognized by kies. Odin registered my phone in download mode after that and I was able to one-click back to stock.

I am going to try that.
I had this problem when going to a 2.3.3 rom before, sometimes it just needs a little and some tender loving repeatable connects, other times maybe just to be left alone for a day or two... I'm not sure if this will work but if you can get a com port from Odin 1 click without having to be in download mode I.e. the phone is on, try a master clear, let the phone boot up and see if you were able to get a com port again(leave it connected during boot), then do various methods to get in download mode starting with the GB method
Hope any of this helps at all

Try powering phone off, then while phone is off, hold vol down (just down, not up and down) and insert usb. Should give you dl mode

You're right. It should, but if the 2.3.3 ROM is effecting everyone the same way. NO BUTTON COMBOS WORK. That's just it. You can name it, and I've tried it. It does not work. Only thing that does work is adb reboot download. I have not tried a jig, but why bother if the phone boots.
Does your volume down button work?

I too am having the same problem with 2.3.3 i897UCKF1 boot loaders. I can't get into download mode or recovery. Hopefully a jig will work
Could it be Rom/Kernel issue? Im on i897UCKF1 Boot loaders with Cog 5 B3 and works fine for me. I have that issue before though the phone just didn't want to go in to down load mode for me, but it was with froyo.

Download Android Terminal Emulator from market. Once it's installed, open it, and type su. This should have the app ask for root rights. Once you allow it, type reboot download and press the enter button on the virtual keyboard. if the phone just goes black and doesnt reboot after a short while, just battery pull and turn it back on. You can also use this method to get into recovery by substituting reboot download with reboot recovery.

Sorry for being cryptic on my initial post, this is what I'm dealing with. I can't get the phone out of phone---!---computer screen and I've tried all the button combinations.
here's what I did. I was in stock enclair and copied continuum 6.1 to the sd card. I then get into download mode to flash 2.3.3 boot loaders. That was successful so I booted back into download mode to flash the talon kernel. I changed the zip to a tar so Odin 1.83 can recognize the file in the pda section. I clicked start and odin failed (I didn't know you had to be in recovery mode to flash the kernel it wasn't listed in the instructions I had). I rebooted the phone and got the phone---!---computer screen with this message:
Firmware update failed ! Try going into Recovery mode.
Hope this helps

Does your computer recognize your phone as anything while you're in the phone!pc state? You could try Adam's Once-Click Unbrick.

It sure does, odin recognizes it and the sound comes on when the phone boots
EDIT: It says I need to put it in download mode which is the problem I'm having
Did you try the OCUB I posted? It's supposed to work at that screen. Yes, it does run on Windows lol.

Even though the phone boots - a jig I've found is a GUARANTEED way to get into download mode. A jig is a VERY useful tool and only costs like $8. If you plan on flashing your phone again in the future - it's certainly NOT a waste to buy one.

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?
download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked
yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.
Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.

[Q] HELP! Phone stuck in unuseable state

Hi
I've been having problems with the HOME button on my phone. I've been running PA2.51 on it so thought it was probably the ROM. I went to flash the newer 2.99 ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115167
After I followed the instructions I rebooted the phone and now I'm stuck with loads of FC! I can't even reboot into recovery or download mode because the stupid HOME button doesn't work.
I don't know what to do??
Can anyone help or advise please? I'd want to get my files off the thing if I can't save it sigh

same thing happen to me
I experience that too last 6months to be exact, as long as you can access download mode and it is readable by your laptop/computer you can fix it, download any ONE PACKAGE stock room in firmware.com then flash it via Odin after that process finish
go to cwm
just power button + home button
then reset and wipe
please feedback as soon as you do my tips thanks!
goodluck! :good::good:

Blank Screen
I installed the wrong cwm on mine and when I tried to boot into recovery all I got was a blank screen, so I waited for a bit, then pulled the battery, turned phone on and nothing but a blank screen, tried getting into DL mode and nothing, but when I plug it into the PC, it wants to recognize as a modem instead. I think its toast, I even made a jig, tried getting into DL mode and nothing, the phone is on just no screen, it charges the battery when plugged into usb port but nothing on the screen. It had worked until I flashed cwm on it...
go to stock recovery
why don't you just enter into stock recovery and factory reset the phone , you can also flash the stock rom with odin after puting your phone in download mode . to go to recovery vol+ and vol- and power on the phone at te same time
Didn't you read? He has neither download nor recovery mode.
