hey folks,
today, i changed the sim card of my galaxy to see if my new contract already has service. it did. but that is not the story. i changed the sim card back an booted the phone. unfortunately, i wrongfully plugged the sim in so that i had to turn it around. unpatiently, i removed the battery while android was already booted but the widgets and stuff weren't loaded yet. then turned the sim card, plugged the battery back in and now the phone doesn't start anymore. first i'm seeing the galaxy s gt-i9000logo. after that follows galaxy s and underneath cyanogenmod in letters. but the fancy animation of cyanogen doesn't start.
i am able to get into download mode but not into recovery (cwm). i'm on cyanogen mod 9 build 17 of teamhacksung (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593).
any clues what happend to my phone and how to make it work like a charm again?
thanks!
First try cleaning cache and dalvik from recovery and boot else clear cache/dalvik and then re-install rom again.
how can i clean the cash and dalvik if i can't get to cwm?
If you have titanium back installed then there is an option to clear it from its menu.
well, i have titanium backup installed on my phone but how can i access it?? maybe you could give me a short guide?
I've had this a couple times, try holding down 3 button combo while you are charging the phone. If you manage to get into recovery i highly doubt clearing cache etc will help. If you're able to get into cwm you'll prob have to reflash rom otherwise use Odin :/..

Goto titanium backup->hit menu key-> them click more button. There you can find option to clear dalvik cache. Hopes that helps you.

Oh sorry i thought you are able to switch on the phone.
Flash a GingerBread firmware which has 3 different files PDA, MODEM and CSC. If you don't have a FW with 3 files, download this http://androidadvices.com/valuepack-update-samsung-galaxy-face-unlock-i9000-xxjvu-236/3/ I used the Odin v 1.85.

Hello All,
I've just started looking into rooting my lovely new Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000, and i've stumbled upon a slight problem, being that its an Austrlian phone, (also known as continental) i remember having this problem with my HTC Dream a few years back, and i was only able to root it with continental software or it would brick, which it almost did.
I'm just asking whether anyone knows of a rooting guide, prefferably on XDA that works for 'continental' Galaxy S's, or does the whole thing not matter and i'm just being a big girl by not trying any old root.
BTW. i have looked and havent found anything that says the root will only work for continental Galaxy's. This probbaly means that all firmware works with this phone, better safe than sorry.
Thanks,
Ashley.
Hi Ashley,
I'm in Australia too, and I got my SGS from optus, I rooted it with one click lagfix, it's very safe , you can get it from the market
thx
Easy Root for Galaxy S i9000
Where do you get the "OneClick Lagfix Root" from (which "Market") and is it easy to accomplish. Everthing I have read on here scares me ****less! I cant afford to brick my phone, but it is so damn slow and freezes/crashes regularly. It has been updated to Froyo, but no better! I dont see any improvements to the phone at all!! Is there a fix that a non-technical user can actually use? Most of the language used in these forums is just jargon to most people. Why use Android at all if this the problems you get. If Rooting the phone is supposed to be so easy, why isn't there an app or a software download readily available?
Please Help.
use SuperOneClick v1.7 to root and unroot ur device.. its the safe and easy
search in xda
Hey raycee63, Did you just root the device and update? or did you install a custom rom?
I just finished installing a custom rom on my GF's galaxy and its running alot smoother now. There seem to be alot of issues with the stock firmware.
Once you have rooted the device you can install "Rom Manager" by ClockworkMod in the normal app market (free or paid your choice) and then select
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
The next step is the tricky part sometimes.
You can find a list of custom roms in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
Download the one of your choice and place onto your internal SD card.
I would suggest All In One Edition by Developer: Spike_M
I have just used that and its running very well.
Remember this will completely wipe your phone so ensure all contacts are backed up to gmail and you can use a number of apps to backup your SMS's, APNs, and Apps.
I use:
SMS Backup & Restore
APN Backup & Restore
AppAsst
Once backed up Open Clockwork recovery mod and hit Reboot into recovery.
Now I think its best to wipe first before installing the rom.
Using the volume keys to move up and down and the back arrow as enter
select Wipe data /factory reset and wipe cache partition
next select install zip from sdcard. Browse to where u copied the file and select it.
it should say completed.
Then go back and hit reboot system now.
The phone will take a long time to startup as it needs to format the cache i believe.
But once it has it should be like a new android.
Then go on the market and reinstall appasst or find the file in the files app and reinstall it then restore all your apps ect.
If the phone hangs and the boot logo and doesnt start after a long long time. (more than 10 mins) may need to wipe the cache and data again.
U can do this by holding the power button to shutdown and when u start back up enter the "recovery mode" (Hold Volume up + Home + Power) and selecting apply update.zip and you should see the same options as before just wipe and try again.
Still Fails? Try a different rom or redownloading it. you can copy it to your phone by selecting mount in the recovery mode and plugging in the usb cable.
I had no end of trouble figuring it out but I hope this makes sense.
As per normal please dont blame me if you do happen to brick your phone. I have tried this myself and it has worked perfectly.
Good Luck
This was supposed to be a pm to espyel developer of paragon rom. Sorry if I misspelled name.
I can't seem to pm or post on developer section cause im new here and threes a 10 post rule. I have searched for the last month and im just stuck. I need help! I have only my captivate I internet with a barely usable weak signal so its been very frustrating. I have learned a lot from this great forum but I can't get my problem fixed still.
Here is my copy of the pm which never goes thru for some weird reason. I just need some guidance as I have probably not done this right all the way thru.
First of all I want to thank you for all your hard work on this rom. I love it! I am in need of some help and I have been researching for the past 3 weeks with no answers. Im pretty new to all this stuff but anyways let me tell you my status as of now. I rooted my phone and was able to install the 5.1 paragon rom which I like a lot. I lost some apps due to tb not able to restore my quickoffice and other important apps. My problem is I can't seem to flash back to anything other than the paragon 5.1 install date. I have the rom manager flashed to recover other dates like when the phone was still stock version but nothing else works. It always fails! I tried installing the update rc6 and something is very wrong. After installed and rebooted phone stays on for nearly 5 minutes and reboots randomly also I try restoring apps and it doesn't work. Seems very laggy and I know from all the great reviews on the rc6 that its just me having this issue. Please help!!! What can I do from here to update my 5.1? My desktop just got fixed and I have no I internet yet other than my captivate which has real weak signals at my new house. I don't use the odin program you mention because of the desktop being down for over a month. Im limited to internet providers at the new house and I need to get it going soon. My captivate has been my internet portal for the last month and it sucks compared to my desktop not to mention poor signals here. I would like to tether my captivate to my desktop as well but have no clue on how to get it to work. I don't flash back to stock like you mention in your steps but I do delete data and cache and all. Like I said I love the work that you do and would love to donate soon. What can I do to enjoy the updates and full capabilities of this rom? Please help! Thanks in advance!
I would power phone off, hold volume up and down and power. When at&t comes up let go
Wipe cache partition
Go back
Advanced clockwork
Wipe davlik cache
Go back
Install zip from sd
Choose zip
Rc6
Flash
When done go back
Wipe both cache again
Factory reset
boot
See if that fixes it. Did you have oc settings saved at boot?
Odin would be nice though

I recommend using odin to flash back to stock and also do a master clear. After this you need to re-root, install rom manager, flash clockwork, reboot to recovery, and install rc6 from scratch. This method is recommended to avoid common issues. Good choice with paragon. Killer rom.

^^^ Thanks for the replies guys.
Good news is I got my desktop internet up temporarily using a wireless card and got a weak open signal.
Bad news is I am still lost! What Odin do I need and where can I download it from?
I tried searching and only found the odin3 but I'm hesitant to proceed with anything without getting some more info. What version do I need for my windows computer? 32 or 64 bit?
I have the SDK Manager on my desktop as well but still have no clue what to do with it or how to use it. I'm still looking into that.
Also, how can I get my phone to tether my desktop and get internet signal?
Is RC6 a full rom or just an update?
If I flash back to stock and reinstall RC6 would I need RC5.1 first then the RC6 update?

you cant tether in stock 2.1(which u will get after using ODIn), but if u root ur phone use wireless tether 2.0.7 app
if u r still on paragon then go to settings>>wireless and network>> USB tethering...or wireless tethering...samsung has inbuilt settings for that in 2.2
I can walk u through odin steps pm me if u like I can also send you the correct odin to use

Thanks! I got the right driver and odin3 installed now and I'm tethering as well. works great!
Now I need to try and install RC6 update again using odin3 to flash back to stock. I hope it works with no issues!
Just so I'm on the right track.... Odin3 is the right odin program that I use right?
I don't know what jh7 or jh6 is. How do I check for this?

Rc6 should have a full rom version, I do not recall if there was a no wipe. Make sure you have the full wipe rom if flashing from stock
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
if you already have paragon rc 6 just simply do factory reset back-up your apps with the included titanium back-up, wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats from cwm recovery menu then reboot your phone. I doubt if you have tweak the over clocking/ voltage apps and not resetting it back to factory default when updating to rc 6 this may cause some issues. if you can open your oc/voltage control app in the menu simply remove boot setting, reset all the voltage slider to 0 and limit overclocking to 1000 mhz then apply, after that do tibu, factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats then reboot.

You know I did mean to mention this!!!
I did adjust my voltage and saved them. I remember running a quad test result of 1454. I never did remove the boot though! Maybe that's all that it was not able to flash to stock and rc6 not functioning right!!!
Thanks I'll give this a try.
So I used odin3 to flash back to stock 2.1 eclair.
Now I can't root my phone anymore!
Usb drivers are not picking up the device and I can't use desktop to transfer root files. I tried downloading some root zips to my phone but it doesn't except the downloads. I can't flash using clockwork because I am not rooted now.
I can't get adb to work even though I follow each step by step of the sdk download.
I'm in a worst situation now than before. Any help would be appreciated!!!

paragon rc 6 is already pre rooted you don't need to root your phone when installing paragon rc 6 just download the full room and the update zip and paste/copy it into your internal sd card. try installing samsung kies mini in your computer it will also install the corresponding driver. once your computer running odin recognizes your phone do a master clear. to do this just enable debugging mode but don't turn off your phone your phone will then reboot itself after the process. install the update zip first with cwm you have to do it twice. first the 3 button combo recovery it is a blue one the default in eclair then install update zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=490798&d=1295155828 once you have install it it will be back again to recovery mode and now a green color now install again the full rom of paragon rc6 http://xda.deanhatescoffee.com/roms/paragon-rc6-full.zip then wait for the phone to reboot.
I just wanted to give a BIG thanks to oxlong27.
You saved me big time from bricking my phone and loosing all data or worst.
They need a counter next to the thanks button! Haha!
I appreciate you going out the way and guiding me step by step over the phone, email, and text. I love my phone more than ever now!!! Everything works great and I'm lovin' the di11ligaf rom. Thanks a bunch bro!!! I didn't think this forum had members like you but I was wrong. Thanks to everybody else who replied with suggestions too!
Hey guys.
I got here a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (without i) and this phone doesn't turn on. Sometimes I'm getting into the "Emergency dload mode" but the usual download mode or recovery doesn't work. In december 2012 i flashed CM7 on this phone, after that I did nothing which could brick the phone. If I'm trying to plug it into my computer to odin that device the computer doesn't recognize the phone ("USB-Device not recognized", so it's not a driver problem, the whole device isn't recognized). If I turn the phone into that emergency dload mode by pressing volume+home+power this mode disappears after a few seconds, sometimes after 3, sometimes after 6, sometimes after 10 seconds. Can it be the battery? I already charged the phone half an hour. Do you think I can reanimate that phone? Or you think i need to jtag it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you take the battery out before pressing all the buttons? I've bricked mine a few times now (noob) and have managed to get a connection with Odin each time. Sometimes takes a few attempts, poss to do with my hands being too small to hold all buttons and put battery back in. One time, Odin took several minutes to find the device.
It's probably not a good idea to be using a flat battery. And do try re-installing the Windows standard drivers. Don't give up! If a noob can do it ...
So I sent that phone in service. They said, that the software was modified and the warranty is void. I said, they shouldn't repair it and send it right back. When I got the phone back, it worked! They flashed a new bootloader, found out that it's rooted and sent me back. Good method to get it repaired
That's so funny.
Help with my galaxy ace bricked
Hi guys, im using a rooted 2.3.6, then i did the partition for link2sd, and everything worked perfect, however since i downloaded some apps first before doing the partition, i decided to do factory settings on the phone settings so it would be like a fresh internal memory then begin downloading when link2sd is already placed, however after doing factory reset on settings, my phone just keep on rebooting, everytime i open it, i downloaded the firmware in sammobile, as per advised, however im not sure how to flash it. should i use ODIN, or use CWM and do this process.
Using CWM.
Copy Zip to SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install Zip From SD Card
Flash ROM
Reboot
or should i follow this instruction via odin

Hi,
My son had this phone and rooted it, bricked it and dumped it. I would like to see if I can make it work again. It is hard bricked so the three button combo doesn't work. Can this be phone get working again?
My note was working fine on a stock rooted 4.1.2 rom and root kernel with Philz touch 5 recovery until this morning it suddenly froze. I left it for a minute to see if it would do anything, but it stayed frozen. I took the battery out and put it back in. It showed the boot logo, moved onto the "Samsung" animated screen but then froze right at the end of this screen, and started booting again and continued to do this forever.
I've tried formatting everything and flashing new kernels and roms in the recovery to no avail.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery fortunately.
I don't need root or anything, I just want a working phone as fast as possible. I don't need to keep any of my files either.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Cheers
Try clearing cache and dalvik cache first, this will preserve all your data. If that doesn't work, do a factory wipe from recovery, this will however result in all your data being lost. Of it still doesn't work, then I suggest a full reflash of a stock ROM using Odin.

If i am correct u should br on a loop.... saved myself from that by:
1)install odin in ur pc
2)put ur phone in download mode (power+volume down+home)
3)press volume up
4)once animation comes up connect ur phone to odin.it will automatically detect ur device.
5)put the proper kernels or md5 files in the correct colums
6) follow wat odin sez after that. Ur device wud be working fine

Thanks for the reply; unfortunately already tried AOTA to no avail
I suspect that the issue is to do with bad blocks in my phone's flash memory, it always fails right at the same place on "hidden.img".
I could try partitioning the memory so that it ignores the bad blocks in that area, but I'm not that good at that stuff
Does anyone have a PIT file for this please?

You can boot into recovery with bixby + vol up + power. And then inside recovery it should say something like:
Reboot to system
Reboot to bootloader
Update from zip
Update from adb sideload
Wipe Cache <-- choose this one.
Factory reset
Mount system
Graphic test
Recovery log
Etc.
But I'd recommend a firmware recovery with Smart Switch. Or a full reflash with Odin. You just have to use all files inside Odin and choose CSC instead of HOME_CSC. This way Your phone will be fully wiped etc. Backup Your data before cause You will lose all Your data. Including internal storage files.
Also, using Odin sometimes can trip Your knox for no reason. So be careful. Try Smart Switch first .

@magyosha
Someone else had this issue with an S8, it was only showing 16 gigs of internal storage on a 64GB unit, a factory reset fixed it and it went back to normal.
You could try doing a factory reset in recovery, if that doesn't work, flash the newest available stock ROM using Odin, and use the CSC_OXM file, not HOME_CSC since that won't wipe your phone.
after flashing your partitions may be messed up. whatever you flashed may created a separate partition to run on.
The problem actually exists. However, the fix is relatively easy. Most times it is caused by a CFW as the geeks here have rightly said. Inthe rarest of situations, it occurs due to a buggy back up from an older phone via the smart switch. To solve this, you really need to hard reset your phone through the recovery menu. This article explains it in the simplest form. https://www.lemmymorgan.com/solve-note-8-32gb-storage-problem/

The problem is that once I boot in recovery it never gets passed that no command error screen. and once it gets at that point there is no coming back.
Phone never starts again and I have to flash firmware again(without CSC , or it fails to even start).
