Can't boot, getting a yellow triangle...

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.
There's anything I can do without using JIG? I cannot enter download mode (at least with the traditional way), I always get that screen. As fair as I know, the phone is still 2.1 with official firmware (i was trying to apple the 2.3.6)

you are still in download mode, without a proper ROM, so just connect with ODIN and it will function once USB cable is plugged in and flash the correct i9000 gingerbread ROM for your location

The problem is, when entering ODIN, with the phone in this state, the phone is not detected at all by the computer, so ODIN fails to start...

follow the procedure on My Android solutions, link below for connection problems, or else flash with a lap top or on a another PC. But First power down the phone, remove battery, remove EXT SD card and SIM Card and power up again using combo keys for download mode

Install drivers of your phone to your laptop or PC. If you have correct drivers it should pick your phone straight way.

I already have the drivers, they were installed back then when I tried to update the phone, so they are present now.
The problem is, I cant get out of the black screen of death.. in fact, I'm not sure if this model/version can enter download mode through combo keys, yesterday when the phone was borrowed to me, I tried and I couldn't, so I was using adb reboot download shell command - but anyway, the drivers are there.

Then try on different PC. It might have corrupted. If you can see the triangle it means it is on download mode so it should connect to PC.

Yes. I'm wondering if my Google Nexus S drivers didn't not conflicted with the drivers I installed. I don't know.
Well, I'll try with another laptop, if that don't work, is it advisable to use a jig connector from a "trusted" seller? I'm asking because I already saw a comment or two along the about blewed (is this a word?) up phones.

Hey mate had the same issue your gonna have to get a jig as a lot of the i9000's came with corrupted boot loaders so you can't get into download without the jig and the screen your on isn't download mode I know which one your talking about with the phone the triangle and the computer

Do I risk blowing up the phone using JIG?

No the jig basicly makes it so a certain voltage signal is sent to the CPU triggering download mode no risk at all

I tried with another laptop with very well configured drivers, and didn't worked. Still didn't detected by odin. When I tried with another galaxy it works, after entering download mode...
I'm not admired, because before the brick, I was not able to enter the download mode with como keys, I shouldnt be surprised that does not happen now..

Follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
1) Uninstall your drivers, and re-install the ones following the instructions and link above.
2) Pull your battery out for a few mins and then put it back in and go into download mode (power, volume down, home button).
3) Download stock + odin from the link above, and start odin, and connect phone to pc through usb.
Your phone should be detected -- this is where you got stuck right? I'll assume if its detected, the rest you can figure out (plus its in the link above)
Good luck bro!

That would be a good suggestion if could get into download mode Tried everything, including some other solutions that I found around the Web. Looks like the bootloader was corrupted since the beginning, and now that I need it more than ever (because the black screen of death phone-!-pc), I stucked until (hopefully) i get a JIG... Already bought one, have to wait a few days to receive it. Until then, I'm going to use a old nokia.

Jig is only option then install a stock gingerbread that will fix 3 button combos

Mr. Baugis, i have a problem D:

Hi to everyone.:
I'm from Chile and i have an SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE, model M.
The last night, i install the GREAT Kernel of Mr.Baugis, but i have a BIG PROBLEM.!
I don't now my brother did, but I think it went to recovery mode and made some adjustments(tried to install an android, I think) and restart the phone.I turn on, says the phone model and not pass the screen "Rafael.Baugis Kernel" I have waited up to 10 minutes to do something but nothing.
Really, i need help. I love this cellphone and i need it to work
PS: if the issue is not going here, Move it please
PS2: Sorry for the bad english

Did you try clear data/factory reset and clear the dalvik cache? If you did and still end up in a bootloop, flash a new rom. If that did not work too, flash the default stock firmware through Odin. Hope it helped

If you are able to get your phone in download mode (volume up + volume down + power) then simply follow any guide from this section explaining how to flash multipackage stock firmware. If ur phone is not getting detected in odin, that is also explained in multiple threads here. As long as u can get the phone in download mode, you should be able to fix the problem. Let me know if u still need exact directions

I had the same problem like you have.
At first you must uninstall Samsung Kies and install these http://www.mediafire.com/?n412p5v6golq4sn official USB-Driver from Samsung.
Start Odin 1.85 and Run it as Admin if you have Win7. Connect your Ace and check if your device get displayed in Odin.
Then go into the download mode and flash your firmware.
If you can't get into the Download Mode you must buy a USB-Jig from Amazon or wherever.

thanks

You are truly very lucky

[Q] Help please, may have bricked my phone!

Hi there, first I have to explain that I have flashed custom ROM's before, but am not technical at all. This time I tried to update from JB 4.1 to 4.2 and now the word 'Semaphone' is on my screen and nothing else is happening. Is this fixable? Please, please help me if it is. I will need step by step instructions.
Would really really appreciate it if someone could lend me some advise.
Many thanks

Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I am a complete beginner. I have Odin, I have downloaded the two files, where do I put what to flash it?! :laugh:

Sorry for being off topic, but why the hell do you flash a 4.2 Version when the source was released just yesterday? I'm even wondering where you got that version from? Oo

Okay I got this from the post, so I'm gonna elaborate this to you so you do it correctly, okay? Note this, I'm using the XDA app to reply this.
1. Turn on USB debugging.
2. Open Odin on your computer. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops(Odin) and Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar.
3. Turn off your phone and go into Download Mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button)
4. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
5. Check Odin. If Odin detects your phone, it will appear yellow and state Com: 0 or something like that.
6. Then, flash your phone. Wait for it to complete the process and let Odin reboot your phone.
If problem still persist, please do tell me.
Another note, this is base on my experience and I'm not on or near my computer. So I'm sorry if anything happens.
Good luck!

Many thanks, I've got it sorted and running a Jellybean Rom again! Hurray! I thought I had messed it up forever. Lesson learned. Will not try that again............

Your welcome! I hope my assist helped you whether big or small! :thumbup:
Just make sure, you do the regular protocols, backup everything and wipe data etc.
If you want a fresh phone(meaning to delete your current/older rom for a newer one), you could always format system(formatting the system will delete your ROM, meaning your phone will not boot until you flash another ROM).

if you are using stock rom, problem is in d rom (firmware), not chainfire...some stocks have that bug that saying internal is allways full,...check it

It is not the problem of Stock ROM. Stock ROMs are filled with bloatware. Try removing them with titanium backup.

Download Odin and extract it to the PC.
Open Odin.
Take your phone and reboot it.
While rebooting enter in download mode by holding down the Volume down and Middle Key (Home Key) while powering your device on.
Then, when in download mode, connect the handset with the PC by using its USB cord.
On the Odin window the ID:Com section should be yellow.
On Odin select “OPS” to get “TASS_v1.0.ops”.
Then click on “One Package” and select the same.
On the bottom of the page select “One package” and pick the “any gingerbread rom from SAMFIRMWARE” file (the one that you have extracted before).
Click “Start”.
Wait until the update is being flashed and don’t press anything.
In the end the phone will reboot, let it.
When powered on, you can disconnect it from the computer as you are finally done.
then do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439751
after that pick up any custom rom (except cm10, i dont know if it works), go to that page and folow the turorial...dont panic, it was happened to me also when i bought android phone, no one is born with that knowledge

[Q] Captivate i897 boot loop [Question about odin]

I randomly got stuck into a boot loop on my Samsung Captivate i897. I've read around a bit and seems like I need to use Odin to fix this issue. I couldn't get into download more through the phone buttons so I ordered a JIG. I am now in download mode and have Odin v3.04 installed. Can I use this version or do I need to have a specific version for the Captivate i897? Anyways, I believe I need the PIT and PDA files to do this fix. If so, can someone link me to them? I am not able to find a working link for these 2 files.
Any help would be appreciated :good:

Sorry, It has been a while and I cannot remember I wish I could get into SOMETHING on the phone to retrieve this information instead of staring at the loading screen forever

There is a sticky thread in Captivate Android Development with Odin one-click stock ROMs. Flash the phone back to stock ROM and see if it solves the problem. In your case I would use Android 2.1 package without bootloaders, because there is no information about what bootloaders you have. Read carefully the flashing instructions and you should be fine.

You can also use the universal Odin from the galaxy s2/3/4 forums. I've used it a bit with no issues.

If u have a custom rom u also have custom recovery ? Flash ur backup of original or other. Can still put random backup or custom rom from sd card. If ur crazy about that particular rom then get a fresh copy.

Odin Version: 1.83, 1.85 or Heimdall
Pit: Heimdall can extract PIT
I'd recommend getting the KK4 Heimdall One Click, since it works cross-platform, its safer than Odin and it comes with bootloader in case you wanted to try the i9000 GB BL/Any i9000 based rom

Playing with other bootloaders (I9000) is not something to get started with.. I highly discourage people of doing so unless they fully understand what they're doing.

But if you want to use an i9000 rom, you're going to need the BL though. For AOSP, either is fine I'm pretty sure

True. I guess what I meant is more along the lines of don't play with those if you're getting started or getting back into flashing. Bootloaders are the only way to brick your phone so the less you play with them, the better!

When I plug phone into PC through USB, My Computer shows 2 new drives but I am unable to open either

Go to Settings/ Applications/ USB settings/ then select Mass storage, then back out to Home screen. Then when u connect ur phone to ur pc, look at ur Captivate screen, it will show USB connected, then u have to tap the button that says...Connect storage to PC.
That should do it. :thumbup:

Think you missed the fact that I can't load into my phone The issue at hand is a boot loop

Can ya reboot into Recovery ? If yes then wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.
If not and u can get into download mode u can try one of the stock KK4 One Clicks that i put together. They will wipe data, dbdata and cache for u and will put u on complete stock i897uckk4 gingerbread 2.3.5 firmware.

You might wanna check your drivers, try another cable and another port. If all fails, try another pc.

The problem isn't with the cable, drivers, or ports I believe. It is because I do not have USB debugging enabled; and there is no way I can enable it since I cannot get into my phone :/ Is it possible to enable it through the computer via any software?

Usb debugging is only needed for ADB and couple other things. It doesn't change anything to the pc recognizing your phone. (Think about it, out of the box, you can connect it to your pc and it doesn't have usb debugging on)
