Herald wont turn on, only bootloader mode

my phone is hard spled. things went fine after hard spl, i was able to flash 2 roms, the last one was juststablev2. after one day my phone started to freeze, random crashes, finishing with a "white screen" and then resets. and after a couple of crashes the phone coulnt even load windows anymore, after the splash screen it continiued to reset. and now, the phone dosnt gets on anymore, it only goes to bootloader (not when you turn on the phone, it cant be turned on, only pressing cam button and resetting turns the phone on and you can only be in bootlader. ) i tried everything, readed almost everything in xdadevelopers, tried to flash with shipped roms, tried to flash with custom roms, tried to flash from pc, to flash from sd card (and yes i know everything to do becouse i did my earlier flashed with sd card, all went without any problem). it just looks the phone is dead, but can enter into bootloader. do anyone have any idea ? ill be realy very thankfull if someone can think something about my problem.
ps : my SPL is 4.70.yang

You can't flash your carrier ROM from bootloader mode via USB?

No, i can not. i forgot to mention that every rom install attempt is turning back with the error 244 : invalid model id.. Just one time, i did get a message, when i was trying flash with the juststablev2, it gave me an error about certificate. but not the same sd card, same rom, gives me nothing, just goes to bootloader mode after checking the sd card.

same problem with me(bendede aynı sorun war osman kardes:/))

wont get past boot screen

i lent my Tytn II to a friend because i didnt need a cellphone at the time. i requested it back because i wanted to use it as a skype phone and it had a custom rom on it. i didnt really care because it still worked and i wanted to put android on it. its WinMo 6.5.1 Titanium Ultimate by TwoPumpChump. i dont know what spl or anything he used, but it just gets to the screen where it displays the R G D and then nothing after that. is there any way i can reset the device without having the phone completely booted up ?

Try a hard reset

ive already tried that quite a few times. but just to be sure, the "hard reset" buttons are the call/end call buttons right? i was looking up a how-to and thats what it showed. so i hold down the call/end call buttons then press the soft reset button with the stylus, but it just resets to the same boot screen it gets stuck at

so does the screen go black? try flashing a different radio rom and see if that helps. also try flashing a new rom mabye

but how do i flash a different rom if i cant fully boot it up?

take out the sd,simcards,and battery, wait about 20 seconds and put only the battery back in. hold the power and camera buttons at the same time and hold them till you see a colored screen and it says "usb" on it. you are now in the bootloader and can flash over usb with kaisercustomruu

Flash via sd card while on bootloader.

yea what clown said. you can do it from sd or usb from bootloader, either is fine

Stuck at S screen - tried everything with no results

This is yet another thread on an GT I9000 stuck at boot, but with a twist!
The diference is that it hapened without me doing anything to it. No flashing roms, no rooting, no unlocking, nothing.
One day it turned itself off, turned on again, get pass the initial screen, gets pass the carrier animation, and it is stuck at the big shiny S screen.
I'm not new to XDA or to flashing (old windows mobile), so I decided to come here and look as usually I can find my answers. The thin is it seems no one else has a similar problem! Not here nor the entire web!
I've been searching and experimenting (it doesn't work anyway, so it is ok to test every solution) for 2 consecutive weeks and still nothing!
I am able to get into download mode, into recovery mode, I am able to flash rooted (or rooting) kernels, I can do everything (except update from SD card with Cyanogenmods, it always says the file is BAD).
I've flashed stock roms, following all the procedures, with Odin, with Heimdall, I've tried everything suggested by "Android Solutions" but nothing!
I'm really frustrated, so I'm reaching to see if there's someone that can shine some light on how to solve this... I feel I'm about to smash the thing with a hammer! (but this won't solve the problem, right...)
Thank you in advance

I assume you had rooted and had CWM when trying to flash CM from SD cards? if not, it will not work, using 2e or 3e recovery
First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Also assume you had tried everything in My Android Solutions did not get you out of bootloops?
so, boot into CWM > mounts and Storage> to copy your entire SD card to PC, after which you should format every partition (you will in-effect lose everything by doing this,) and do not reboot
after this, you must pull out battery and powerup into download mode to flash JVU+Root ROM with 512 PIT (repartition and update boot loader ticked in odin3) from My Android Collections

Hi xsenman,
Thank you for the reply.
in fact, I tried to CM from the SD card after having flashed CWM rooted kernel with Odin, but at this point the phone was not booting anymore. The whole reason I wanted to flash it in the first place was because it started bootlooping by itself while completely stock.
So I came here to xda, and follewed the instructions. I thought it would be a simple matter of flashing with a new rom and everything would be a-ok. It didn't.
I've tried every single trick mentioned in "my android solutions" (great information repository by the way, lots of work there) and still nothing. Today when I get home (forgot the phone at home) I'll flash the stock everything and try to follow the SD format procedure you mention.
I'll post back
Cheers

Hi again,
I've tried xsenman's suggestion and still nothing.
I could understand if this was a SD card error (because it was damaged in some way), but I have no indication of a SD card error. It can read everything and I even can see the file structure inside the SD card (and I do not mena the external SD card ofc). I was even able to copy some files to and from it!
I think I'll "fix it" with a big hammer and buy me an iphone! This is soooo frustrating!
anyone has any other ideas? I'll try anything and everything.
Cheers
G

CM needs to be flashed twice, try this method or this
Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)

Hi again,
Tried everything and got always the same result. Nothing.
Maybe the problem was with some piece of hardware (but I find it strange). As I said before I firstly tried to flash it because it had come to a bootloop by itself so maybe it had a deeper problem.
Now I got it solved. I bought me a brand new iPhone 5 (LOL) and flashed a stock rom on the SGS and sent it to the carrier customer support. It had one year guaranty. Lets see what they say about it.
If they can solve it I'll have 2 very nice phones!
Thank you anyway for you help.

Had same problem some time ago.
THIS should help you too

Hi again!
I had tried that too, and the result was the same as all the other things I've tried. Nothing.
Today I had some feedback about the phone (I sent it to repair). The phone is on its way back to my hands, and the repair status says:
"Software update and power circuit repair. Tested OK".
Let's see if it does tests ok when I get it back!
Two weeks ago I got an e-mail from the tech support asking what was wrong with the phone because they could find nothing wrong with it. I asked them to turn it on and try to make a phone call for example, or connect to a wi-fi network. It doesn't really matter, I just wanted them to try to do something that involved turning it completely on and use the device in any way they wanted. Clearly they hadn't even tried to turn it on. Otherwise they would have figured out that there was a problem...
This was the carrier support, not Samsung (I think). Anyway it SUCKS bigtime!
Now I need to figure out what to do with it...
Thanks anyway for your support!
Cheers
G

Just to let people know how this ended up.
My SGS i9000 went to the repair shop for two times. The first they replaced the charger plug, the second they say they replaced nothing (but I don't belive them )
As I still think this was some sort of issue with the samsung firmware, I just flasher CM10 and it's been stable since then.
My girlfriend got it as a present and she's quite happy with it!
Thank you all for the help!

[Q] No ability to update

On my droid 4, updated to cyanogenmod 10.x RC2. Glad the screen rotate is working but for the last few days i've noticed I cannot update the phone. It will download the file, start to reboot the phone, but safestrap never loads so the new update doesn't load. I have to hold the power button until it shuts down so I can power it back up into rc 2
If turn off the phone and try and opt myself to go into safestrap, it'll give me the splash screen to hit the button or menu button to go into recovery or contiune but if i hit either option to go into recovery the screen just goes black. It is still on, but doesn't ever load anything and i have to force the thing down.
Is this an issue with safestrap or cyanogen?
*EDIT*
since cyanogen 10/droid 4 has had issues with my addon memory card from the start i figured i'd just try without it in the phone. I was able to get into safestrap. is there maybe an issue with the droid 4 and using addon sd lot, maybe cause it is a class 10 card, only 8GB though? used the card without any issue on htc desire with os, apps, everything running off card.

That's strange. I've never had any issues using safestrap with my sdcard installed. You could always try reformatting the card and see if that fixes it. Just make sure you copy any data off of it that you need before formatting.
