Flashed wrong flash.. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yea...
Instead of using cm7 for my i9000 I flashed cm7 Mesmerize..accidentally
I can enter Download mode...can flash via Odin but the problem is that it just wont start the firmware.. it boots samsung animation but then it restart...over and over agzain. Now I flashed some stock firmware via Odin but it just restarts after loading samsung logo.
Some solutions to this?
Thank you very much.

You will need to use odin with a stock ROM and the pit512 file.
In odin add all the files of the stock rom as usual then select the pit512. Once selected check re-partition.
now put phone in download mode and flash as usual.
CM based ROMS use a different file system from CM based ROMS.
Occasionally, as has happened to me, you may need to flash the ROM twice.
Once with pit & repartition checked and then a second time with no pit and repartition not checked.

I see your phone is a galaxy s2.
This is the galaxy s1 forum so while the procedure is the same as above I would confirm in the SGS2 forum which pit file you should use.

Thanks for reply.
I did some flash via odin and cwm while I was waiting for an answer..
Now my Odin can`t see my Phone. Windows sees it as a gadget serial...but it wont appear in Odin. I have ClockWord Speed Recover Kernel. Heimdall kernel flashing works..
edit: and if I try to install any rom via CWM it says assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="galaxys" || getprop....... E:Error in/mnt/sdcard/CWM Firmware/update-cm-7.1-GalaxyS-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I can`t mount system either...

I recommend a google search for that error. I've had something similar before a resolved it through a google search. Unfortunately can't remember where or how.
To get odin to see the phine i would download driver from sammobile.com and try to reinstall it otherwise try heimdall.

odin failed!

Hi, i have galaxy tab:
PDA: XWJMG
PHONE: XXJMA
Now i started ODIN 1.7 and selected p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar in PDA. I didnt select Re-Partition and did not tick anything and did not select PIT file. Now when i connect it says 'added' and when i click on start it goes through the process and says "failed' in the end. Now my tab shows yellow triangle on it. Help
Do you by any chance have locked bootloaders? Anyway as long as the computer recognizes your tab you can fix it. Just use search.

I dont know about bootloader, its an untouched piece. Please tell me how to fix this tab... :-(
Look at the stickyes in the gsm tab development. Just download a rom that doesn't contain bootloaders and flash it via odin. Again you can find such roms in the development section. Read read and read again and you will be able to fix your tab. One question, why did you flash your tab in the first place?

Download this firmware http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
Then goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082 & read the bit where it says if your tab does not boot...
Hope this helps

You need to dload the P1 hidden pit & full J4 version fw
Is it maybe because the rom you selected says cwm? Isn't that supposed to be flashed in clockwork mod?
Thanks guys for all your help, i flashed pit to my phone via ODIN and piece is alive and working now and gave the tab back to my friend. Now just need to know for the future i have ODIN v1.31 and P1_EUR.pit. I selected pit and P1000JPJJ2 on PDA. Now just need to know before flashing do i need to select repartition?
As i read through the tutorial you only select repartition when you are flashing with the pit file!
If you are installing firmware, Flash the custom kernel that is linked on the same page as the overcome rom 2.13 without partition, Then hold vol up and power will put you in recovery mode, You can flash the rom through there useing the install zip from sdcard option but you must copy the custom rom onto the sd card first....

I had the same problem earlier and then i learned that bootloader for stock JM is signed so it show error ... completion (write) failed ... when you try to upgrade or install custom rom using Odin. I reverted back to resurrect my tab by Odin with pit (follow pit version) and check repartition, auto reboot. It works for me but not sure if it will work for others. Good luck.

[Q] Urgent! Odin Stuck on boot.bin

Hi there, first time using odin to flash firmware on my galaxy s (used CWM for everything), and what do you know, it seems to have crashed
Can't link to the guide I was following since I'm new, but it was for XXJVU firmware, I was previously on Cyanogenmod 7.
So now I'm stuck on boot.bin, and have no idea what to do. I read on a galaxy SII thread that if I didn't tick repartition (I didn't) and didnt specify a .pit file (Unfortunately I did this) I was safe.
Should I unplug my phone and try to start Odin again? Or is there something else I should try?
Please help
try
try again.........................1} unplug ur phone and remove battery then again go to download mode......and connect it via pc { note,u must install galaxy s usb driver on ur pc,and remove kies from pc}....now do the process again.
---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------
have u select correct file in the correct path............in odin
thanks, same thing is happening again, so now I'm downloading XXJVT firmware, as long as I didn't tick re partition I should be able to fix it right?
Edit: Third try is the charm, got past boot.bin now on XXJVU, thanks for the help!

[Q] Cannot boot or enter recovery (CM9 20120425)

Flashed today's CM9 nightly as usual through CWM recovery (ultimate-kernel-cleaning-script, ROM, GApps), came to the point of rebooting and am now stuck with the white-on-black Galaxy S GT-I9000, SAMSUNG screen.
I can't get into recovery, but I can get into download mode.
Where should I go from here?
Same here
I am in the exact same situation. I really didn't want my first post on here to be a beg for help but I promise I'll contribute after
My computer can detect the device when I plug it in but I can't access it from explorer. I am running good old XP. I have done a bit of googling and it looks like I need Odin so I've got that. How are you doing with it PrinterElf? I'll keep this thread updated with my progress, hopefully it might help you too.
Could be a doozie this one...
I've asked the question on the CM forums too, so I'll see what happens!
I think you, like me, can get it to boot to download, I can get Heimdall to connect, but have no idea what I should be flashing to get back to recovery again!
From http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble, should also work for CM9:
"Put phone in Download mode and use FixRecovery.tar.md5 in Odin as PDA, uncheck auto-reboot option.
After flash reboot to recovery with 3-button-combo and CWM flash proper ICS kernel and reboot"
http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5
Heimdall eh?
I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick and have been flashing new ROMs using ROM Manager so this is the first time I've heard of Heimdall. I'm downloading it now.
I'll let you know if I find those files, I can't find a useful thread anywhere
Edit: Didn't see adsdf's post when posting this. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction
---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------
Followed adsdf's instructions and Odin seemed to think it had done the job. Tried booting into recovery but it's still 'eating a big bowl of boot-loops' I'm not sure if Windows is talking to the phone though so I'm downloading the drivers now (give me a virtual slap if I should have done this already).
---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
She's in recovery! Thank you so much adsdf!
Nearly there...
Okay, she'll boot into recovery but I don't have a ROM or any backups on her. I can't seem to be able to browse the phone in Windows Explorer even if I hit mount USB storage in recovery. I've managed to transfer 'fixrecovery.tar.md5' from Odin so I should be able to flash a ROM in the same way... right? Everywhere I search all I can find is ROMs in zips I've seen threads where people have flashed ROMs in .md5 format using Odin, where are they getting these ROMs? It seems like the solution for me.

I think in your case it would be best to go back to a stock rom first so you have a clean base to start from.
- Download any rom from
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1#regiona
for example I9000XXJVU. these are all odin flashable
- In Odin: "CODE..." or "PDA..." as PDA, "PHONE..." or "MODEM..." as PHONE and "...CSC..." as CSC with PIT 512 with repartition checked
(Im sure you have done this before, right? if not, theres a lot of instructions on that out there)
- after that phone should boot
- flash a proper kernel and rom if you want
Right, back and firing on most cylinders, and this is how I did it!
Download and flash this with Odin
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
Reboot into download mode again, flash this with Odin
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/
Reboot into CWM recovery
Install CM9 nightly & GApps
Reboot
Spend all morning restoring apps from Titanium Backup!
Thank you
Just followed PrinterElf's method and have just rooted my phone again using Odin. I'm about to flash the latest CM9 nightly, I wish I could take the screen unlock with me, it works well on that stock ROM.
Thanks again

You're left with only one option: Odin. Download any stock rom with a stock bootloader to repair your recovery mode,flash it using Odin, then flash a semaphore or midnight control kernel.
Good luck!
kinda same problem
previously was on teamhacksung b17 with gapps 20120304. no MODIFICATIONS!!!
today i updated with the latest nightly (update-cm-9-20120427-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd-signed) with same gapps as above.
after reboot it did some updating gapps and loaded into home screen.
i turned the phone off becoz i wanted to insert the extSD and simcard which i removed before the update process.
second time i booted the phone, it started giving me bootloops. cant go into recovery either. only download mode available.
so i opened odin and put all the files in their places connected the phone in download mode on. windows did not recognize the device..... installed samsung usb drivers v1.4.2.2 ... tried it again. problem has not yet been resolved, any suggestions veteran people.

Can't access recovery

ok so here is a nice problem for some reason my device (ICSsgs rom 4.2) lost the abillity to enter into recovery it worked fine last time I checked but now it isn't, so I tried downloading rom manager and using it to reflashCWM recovery but still can't access the recovery.
I do have access to download mod, any suggestion as to how I could gain access to the recovery as I want to falsh a new rom.
EDIT:
OK managed to go to CM9 at last, I will write a short guide in this thread when I"ll comeback home so if anyone gets stuck in this kind of situation could have a quick refrence.
checkout hdtechvideo forum or on tube if you need a video guide ,if not go through odin some roms are already rooted ie darky resurection 10.2 good luck

Just flash stock gingerbread version via Odin
ok so I flashed a gingerbread and then used the CM wiki to get CWM recovery, but I have a slight problem, no matter what rom I try to flash I get this error message:
E:Can't open /mnt/sdcard/romfile.zip (bad) installation aborted.
I tried flashing several roms, CM7,CM9,AOKP build 36 and dark knight 5.5 all give the same message.
I also tried downloading the latest CWM from the CWM site and this time it started installing but it's stuck on replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod reovery...
any ideas how could I flash a new rom? I don't have access to Odin just Heimdall (linux user) and I have no idea how to make it accept Odin packages.

Help me, my galaxy note N7000 died...(Formware upgrade ancountered an issue.)

Hello everybody.
I have a problem in my gt-N7000.
I tried to install the CM10, install normal.
I installed Gapps also normal.
When I went to wipe it crashed.
Now no more enters recovery mode, download mode only.
When I turn it only gets in this mensage:
"Formware upgrade ancountered an issue. Pease select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've tried to pass other Stock Roms via Odim, but always hangs Odim.
I do not know what else to do, will my phone still has solution?
And have you tried that recovery mode in Kies?

Hello,
Unfortunately I do not know which kernel was using, but I was the Official Rom 4.0.3.
I'm downloading now the site of the kernel SamMobile'll try and pass via Odin.
If it does not work, post the error here ok?
Ok.. also.. what was your flashing method? which file did you flash first? was your phone rooted?

I do not know if I can answer all your questions ... I did not root the phone.
I tried going through the kernel odin said that he caught up and in factoryms.img, as stated in the attached image.
Do not know if this is of great relevance but I can not give Wipe the recovery mode, it also crashes and resets the phone.
What should I do? = /

1. I don't know what you mean by this.? The was was not rooted or some one else rooted it for you?
2. The place where odin is stuck could indicate a brick. So you need to be precise in the info you give.
3. Did you use cwm.zip to install the rom directly on a non rooted phone?
If ODIN is working for you,
Get your mobile flashed with Philz Kernel by putting the TAR file on PDA.
Enter Philz Kernel in recovery and flash a ROM of your choice.
If you can't then u r a superbrick.

Sorry for my english, I'm using google translation.
I was using the official version 4.0.3, so I entered the reovery and installed CWM and the file to the Root. Shortly thereafter, without restarting the phone installed the CM10 and then the gapps. When I do the Wipe the phone crashed.
Since then, officials have spent several Roms by Odin and all lock.
I do not know if I was very clear on the information, but now the phone is locked it sansumg logo. And when he enters recovery does not wipe, lock and resets the device.
Again, sorry for my english.
So you have flashed cwm.zip and the the root file and then on the same temp recovery, wiped.? That is serious mistake and it seems a brick.

Download the PIT file, open odin and choose the file in PIT tab. Make sure the repartition is checked. Then load the rom in pda tab. Flash the rom again.

I was also thinking that. Unfortunately it is no longer under warranty.

Do you still have access to recovery? If yes is it cwm recovery or stock android 3e recovery?
