[Q] Boot loop, can't enter recovery mode. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this morning I was using my phone as normal when it froze. Then I rebooted and it just stays bootlooping. I'm using a recent nightly of CM9 and I can't enter recovery mode to reflash the phone. How do I install CM9 using Odin? Is there any other software for that? I can enter download mode just fine.

Maybe its a boot loop. Switch off your phone and check if download and recovery mode is available(see next paragraph).
If so follow the steps mentioned.
First of all download xxjw4 firmware for galaxy gt-I9000 from
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
1) Put your phone into Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power button) and perform a Wipe data/Factory reset, then a Wipe cache. When done pull the battery out for around ten seconds then re-insert.
(If recovery isn't working ignore this step)
2) Put the phone into Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power button)
3) Unzip the JW4 firmware folder you've downloaded to your Desktop.
4) Launch Odin and click on the button that says PDA and navigate to the PDA file you've just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
5) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin will say Added and a box will turn yellow to indicate it has recognised your phone.
6) Click the start button in Odin and sit back and wait for Odin to flash your phone. When it's finished it will take a few minutes longer for the phone to reboot than is usual so please don't panic. The phone will reboot.
7) When the phone has rebooted, remove the USB cable and you now have the latest 2.3.6. It might be a good idea to repeat step 1 to make sure nothing of the old firmware is left behind.
And that's it, seven steps to 2.3.6 JW4 Value Pack and TouchWiz 4.

Wipe it with ODIN. This will get you back to stock AT&T build. You can then follow the steps on this tutorial to install a new ROM:

odin first hung forever at processing files then finaly 1 time it finaly went past that and said looking at pit files and sat there forever i unplugged usb now when i plug back in pc doesnt see it or odin or anything but the shovel guy is still on screen
are you using ODIN 1 click or the original ODIN where you have to select the PIT and PDA files you want to flash?
are you starting ODIN first, before you plug in your phone and running as admin?
just tried as admin with odin execution v1.00 plugged in after odin was open no go
no go as in ODIN doesn't recognize your phone?
From what I understand, you tried the first flash and it got to the PIT file and then you unplugged it once it froze. Since then, you haven't rebooted your phone.
One thing first: You cannot plug your phone in after it is in Download mode and have Odin work. You must put your phone into Download mode after both Odin is open and the phone is plugged in.
Now; to get your phone into download mode.
Unplug the phone from the computer and remove the battery, SIM, and external SD if there is one.
1. Open Odin one click.
2. Plug the phone in (without the battery in the phone). Do not press any buttons, especially the power button.
3. Press and hold the volume rocker (holding down both volume up and down).
4. Insert the battery while holding the volume rocker.
5. The phone should boot into download mode. You can then let go of the volume rocker.
Now wait 30 seconds (if you press "Start" too soon, it will not work). Then press "Start" and your flash should finish.
im in downloader mode now but on captivate all in one or just odin exeuction 1.00 it hangs at examing files
dont ask me how, because im not even sure how i did it but after much trial and error im back in the saddle again, flashed back to stock, then put paragon 6 on so im all set again...

First of all I feel your pain. If your issue hasn't been solved by the above post I would recommend these two step by step guides to fixing your issue.

I have personally used the above process without a problem, best of all it includes all the files you need to not only get back to stock but also to then get you back to ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050 This process I haven't used but a cursory search pulled it up. The first link is better and I can vouch for it but variety is the spice of life..
Hope this helps.

Can you get it into download mode without it turning off? (Hold volume down + home button + power) Or recovery? (Hold volume up + home button + power?) Is it rooted with clockwork mode?

yeah i know the basics ! but stil it doesnt work ! can it be a hardware problem? and if it right how can i fix it ?
Did you try that method? And when did it start turning off, did you try mpding it or did it just start doing it? Does it he a knock when it turns off or is it at the same place everytime? If it stays turned on in download mode its probably software related also make sure the drivers are installed using kies

Does Odin recognize your phone (com12 or something like that in yellow)
If not then try different USB port or also different cable and computer.
According to my experience if you are able to go to download mode then there is always a way to fix the problem

[Q] No recovery mode after failed OTA - Note N7000

Hi guys - I have had a mini disaster with my Note and desperate for some expert advice.
Basically last night I ran the official ICS OTA it downloaded great, I left it plugged into the power and ran the update as I slept. I woke up this morning to find the battery flat, guessing a charging issue I used my external charger to charge the battery. Now, the phone is stuck in some kind of boot loop - It passes the Samsung splash screen to a black screen with the Android Robot with it's belly full of spiraling triangles. That hangs for 30 seconds then it restarts and does the same thing over and over again.
I can not enter recovery mode - vol up + home + power doesn't work but I can enter the download ODIN screen.
Any ideas what I can do?

That's awesome - just one final question: you say I need kies, what part does that play? For the life of me I have never got it talking with my Note.

[TUT] How to root and un-root GT-I9305 on KitKat 4.4.4.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GOT BRICKED, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
ROOTING (CUSTOM RECOVERY + SUPERSU)​
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE’S 80% CHARGE OR ABOVE!!!
1) Download Odin.
LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fivpr9btf6667hr/Odin 3.07.rar?dl=0
Download “philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar”
LINK: http://goo.im/devs/mskip/recovery/samsung_galaxy_s3/philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar.md5/
2) Unzip Odin to your desktop.
Copy the “philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar” to the same directory.
3) Make sure your phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE.
Power OFF your phone if you haven't done so.
Press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button.
You will see a screen saying “Warning!”
Just ignore what it says and PRESS the Volume Up button.
4) Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer/laptop.
Connect the USB cable to your phone first then to your computer.
Let it detect your phone.
5) If Kies is running on your pc shut it down.
6) Open the Odin application.

UN-ROOTING USING PC ODIN​
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE’S 80% CHARGE OR ABOVE!!!
1) Make sure your phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE.
Power OFF your phone if you haven't done so.
Press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button.
You will see a screen saying “Warning!”
Just ignore what it says and PRESS the Volume Up button.
2) Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer/laptop.
Connect the USB cable to your phone first then to your computer.
Let it detect your phone.
3) Extract both files (Odin & Stock Rom) to your Desktop.
Double-click on the Odin executable file and it’ll launch.
4) In the Odin, click on PDA tab and select the Stock Firmware file you extracted to your Desktop.
5) Make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are checked in the Odin.
6) Click on Start button in the Odin and leave the rest of the work on the tool.
Your device should reboot once flashing’s done.

8) After flashing is done it’ll reboot.
9) You have successfully un-rooted your S3!
Credit goes to @SeyMedia for original aid, I just made this into a tutorial. Good Luck!:good:
root/recovery won't work that way for 4.4
as soon as you let the phone reboot into system after flashing custom recovery, it will get overwritten by original one; so after you turn the phone off and reboot manually then, don't be surprised to see stock recovery
After flashing custom recovery don't turn the phone on. Just return with 3combo to recovery and flash su. This is how worked for me
Regarding the rooting process:
- just untick F. Reset Time in Odin when you flash philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar;
- when flashing is done, disconnect phone from pc and pull up the battery for a few seconds;
- put back the battery;
- enter in recovery mode (you will enter in Philz Touch);
- flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.
This will do the trick!

Why you use “philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar” and not more new "philz_touch_6.48.4-i9305.tar"?

Do you have to use a custom recovery to root kk 4.4.4 or can I just use CF-auto root and triangle away with the stock recovery?
