I accidentally installed a capitvate i897 firmware (Android 2.3.4, AT&T branded) on my i9000. It looks like an US firmware, mine should be German.
Since installation of the new firmware I can't use the usb-connection anymore - some seconds after plugging the phone resets and stops working until I unplug the cable again. The 3-button-trick doesn't work anymore either, probably because the captivate hardware is quite different.
So... now I am desparately looking for any help or hints how I can get my phone rootet. I think that would help a lot to install a proper firmware again (via mobile odin).
Any hints?

You wouldn't really be going wrong by flashing back with Odin. I'd recommend flashing stock JW4 which is the latest European Gingerbread and rooting with the JW4 CF-ROOT.
I would have flashed already if I knew how to do it USB doesn't work, and entering recovery mode (if it is available, which I doubt) doesn't work either because I can't press the right buttons.

u need to download 3 file odin from here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
and u will need also odin program from here http://www.filecrop.com/Odin-1.85.html after u download the firmware extract it and open odin
then put code in pda box modem on phone box an csc on csc box after that push vol down+home+power for download mode conect your phone to the computer and wait for yellow light in the program after thet press start good. luck btw if its only one file firmware put it on pda only
and if download mode not work with 3 button comb try jig device
Thanks for your detailed answer. But the 3-button-combo doesn't work. My guess is that the phone expects the captivate combo (volume up + volume down + power) which isn't possible on an i9000 device.
A jig might be worth a try, though I am worried, because the phone crashes always as soon as it get's power via usb (phone-pc or phone-power suppy, in both cases the phone crashes).
Is it possible to root the phone via wifi or right on the phone via app or some weird linux command line stuff?
You could try z4root? I don't think it will work but worth a try

Yes, I think it's worth a try, to download a SGS Kernel and try the App "SGS Kernel Flasher" (Search in Playstore, can't post a link) Maybe it works! I think you won't be able to boot your system after that, but maybe you can use the 3 button combo after that.
But first you have to find a way to root the phone... i can't find a app for that atm, maybe someone else found one?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you get root working, you can safely use this to flash the right firmware for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
It's Odin on your mobile, so you can copy the files via an ftp or something like this and flash them to solve ur problem.
The other method I listed is a bit unsafe i think...
Actually, you can press Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time on a SGS. I tried it, because CM9 has the feature to change ringer mode this way.

Hello, More or less had the same problem.
To tell you the history: updated my samsung galaxy S I9000 to ICS, was not happy with it and f*cked up after that.
Wanted to install older firmware over ICS, telephone dead and than came on this forum and used
stockrom of I896 from developer TRusselo : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
now phone thinks he is a canadian I896.... Tried the above steps on PDA... unpacked ok but now phone keeps rebooting after it shows the samsunglogo....
did i miss a final step or did i do something wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance...
@calumn96: I tried z4root, it doesn't work..
@coroner21: wow! I always thought the both volume buttons would exclude each other. Now I can enter CWM.
Is there a way to root the i9000 in CWM? Or even better, to install a stock i9000 firmware?
Current situation: i897-firmware (2.3.4 uckh3) - I guess I need a root patch for this firmware.

If you get a rooted i879 kernal you could try flashing that in cwm? You could try flashing a custom gb ROM from it (put files on a as card then in phone so not to use USB)

Go into download mode
for i9000 it's volume down + home + power
for i897 it's both volume keys, and with the usb cable into the phone + power.
If you see the yellow triangle with and android and a shovel that's it!
Then get a stock firmware for i9000 on www.smafirmware.com and flash it through odin with the .pit + 3 files (PDA + MODEM + CSC).
@calum96: I will give it a try.
@-m3ta- : USB doesn't work, so any tips involving a usb-cable won't help :/

I don't understand why 3 combo key, USB won't work. I had flash a captivate firmware onto the i9000 and the regular trick worked
@MrAndroid12: I don't understand it either. But the phone crashes as soon as the usb is plugged. Recharging didn't work at all, the phone just got hot and that's it.
@calum96: thank you! I flashed dmore 3.3 and so far it looks good. No usb-crashes anymore and the phone acts as it should. There is still an AT&T-brand, but that's still better than a useless phone

Download Odin and an apropriate flashfile and flash the phone.
Before you start take out the sim card and memory card.
Every info on how to flash via Odin is in this forum, just search.
After that root your friends phone.
I've atached the files for rooting only on Eclair 2.1.

Did you flash Tayutama's ROM using Odin? Or did you use the update.zip method?
Well, here's all the steps you need to follow in detail:
1) Flash JM8 using Odin (follow flashing guide from Richtofen's thread).
2) Download Tayutama's JM8 ROM, rename the zip file to "update.zip" and put it on /sdcard. So it looks like /sdcard/update.zip. Turn off the phone. Get into recovery mode (volume up + home + power). Choose the option "Apply from sdcard: update.zip" or whatever. (NOTE: Don't flash this using Odin).
That's it. BTW, you lost all data on your mate's phone when you flashed JM8 onto it. Hope he isn't too mad.

Why not? You were able to do it before right? What happens if you try now?
EDIT: Wait, is it the international version of the Galaxy S (I9000) or the AT&T Vibrant (T959) AT&T Captivate I897?
Hold on just for a little while longer.
As long as the phone goes into recovery you havn't bricked it yet.
Go here and register and download a stock (non moded) firmware:
samfirmware.com
I recomend XXJM1 as that was the most stable for me until now, but other will do.
First wipe cache and format phone.
Then flash the stock firmware with repartition checked with Odin.
Then root the phone.
I've attached Odin and a text file explaining where to put each file.
Good luck.

Please try all of these in the same order and see if anything gets the phone into Download Mode successfully.
Start with the phone turned off (remove and insert battery if necessary)
Method 1:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) While still holding down both the volume buttons, press and hold the power button.
Method 2:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down both the volume buttons.
Method 3:
a) Hold down only the vol down button.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down the vol down button.
Don't even touch the power button in methods 2 and 3.
EDIT: Make sure the drivers are installed in the computer first. If you don't have the drivers, installing Kies would automatically install the required drivers for you. While trying these methods (connecting USB cable to computer), though, make sure Kies is completely closed (even from the system tray) and keep Odin open.

I hear that you should not try to root without the 3 button combo working, but what choice do I have, samsung update did not fix this bootloader problem. I cannot put my phone in download mode without having it plugged in and recognized by adb.

I had tried flashing MIUI but no luck at all, could of been my zip. File was messed up but i tried a diffrent and still nothing.Now im on Darky 10.1 final no problems.

I don't have a galaxy tab, but it should be similliar to my galaxy s. I think your device is NOT bricked. As long as you can get to download mode, your device is NOT bricked. If you can get there, you should try to flash with odin/heimdall again. I think you must have done something wrong in the flashing process. AFAIK the logo is displayed by bootloader (primary), so if nothing went wrong with flashing the secondary one (download mode), you should be able to flash again.

If you can see a screen, it's not bricked. For download mode, did you try (from a powered-off state) holding Vol+ and Vol-, then inserting the USB plug? You may also have to take the battery out, hold v+/v-, insert plug, then insert battery.
If those don't work, look into getting yourself a jig.

yes i get the AT&T logo infinite looping but no way to get download mode.. yes I even tried the vol+vol- ...
If those combinations aren't working for you, you will most likely need to either buy or make yourself a jig. It's not very expensive - either buy 3 resistors at an electronics store, or see if you can find one on Ebay. That's the easiest, most surefire way to get into download mode.
One last thing to try, though, just in case - try holding Vol- and Power from a powered-off state. That's the Gingerbread combination for i9000 bootloaders, but it won't hurt to try them.

Once you get into download mode, don't flash jf6 newer phones don't like that firmware and they do exactly what your's is doing. Bootloop and broken button combos.

That should work, as you're installing a Gingerbread Rom, you'll need the matching bootloaders.

That should work, as you're installing a Gingerbread Rom, you'll need the matching bootloaders.

Hi, thank you all ,, all worked 100% .. one more thing.. why the bootloader is not the i9000 bootloader ? if I want to install the cm7 can I just install from market the rom manager?? .. and about the root+busybox .. does the super-one click works with 2.3.3 ?

Glad to hear it worked.
- UCKF1 uses the AT&T Gingerbread bootloaders, not the i9000. You have the option to flash the i9000 ones separately, but I wouldn't recommend it, as there really isn't a pressing reason to put yourself in that danger.
- If you want to try CM7 again, I would recommend installing it separately from Rom manager - rom manager tends to be problematic.
- I don't think super one-click works with 2.3.x roms. You'll need to flash a kernel with CWM baked in (like boog's kernel) using Odin or Heimdall, then flash CM7.

thank you lot for helping me .. if I install directly this one:
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Boog includes recovrey.. so once install this I can get even recovery ready for cm7???
On the page of one-clicks, in this section:
I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Heimdall Package, With Bootloaders - Link to thread - by AdamOutler
Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by 4-2ndtwin [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Heimdall Package, Without Bootloaders - Link to thread - by jmtheiss [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog] (Not tested)
Stock Kernel - Link 1 / Link 2
Kernel with CWM - Link to thread - by Boog
Use one of the two that I have left highlighted. If you want to use Odin, use the first one. If you prefer Heimdall, use the second one. Either one will get you to a stock state, with CWM, so that you can flash CM7. And, both will do this without flashing bootloaders. Definitely, no matter what, do not choose a package with bootloaders. You want a package that says "no bootloaders".

Recovery on your phone is now holding Vol+/Vol-/Power. Download will be Vol+/Vol- and inserting the USB cable.

... is not working.. it keeps showing me AT&T logo until I leave the power button,, but once i leave it starts normal use..and not recovery..
EDIT : WITH ADB REBOOT RECOVERY IT WORKS , IT GOES IN CWM 4.0.1.5 ,, TRYING TO INSTALL CM7 .. HOPE WILL WORK
You need a jig. I'm guessing your build number higher then 1010.

I am in serious trouble and need urgent help!!
I own an international Galaxy GT I9000 and recently rooted and afterwards attempted to flash XXJW4 software on the phone. Upon trying this I realised that my model is one of the unlucky ones as you cannot enter download mode via the three-button combo, neither can you enter recovery. Since I have some experience with Android, I used adb commands to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is where my problem lies...
I flashed the wrong file using Odin. Instead of flashing the JW4_JW4_JW4 file, I flashed a file named XXJW4_Root_AA.tar... Needless to say, this didn't go down well. The phone is in a boot loop now, rebooting at the Samsung logo (not the boot animation). ADB cannot find the device, neither can odin, and no one seems to be able to help... Is the final solution a a USB Jig? I am in South Africa, so finding one here is hell..
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
If you can't get into download mode, USB jig is your best bet.

Okay, I have been reading up on those but I can't seem to find any resistors in my area! Also, if I do manage to get download mode going, will this ensure that my PC will recognize the phone? Odin and my PC recognized the device just fine, but Kies was not functional (before the phone got bricked)
The jig will solve your problems at no time.It saved me!

Pull the battery, hold the button to download the mod and then plug the battery into the phone, I hit download.

I tried this but it did not work... I flashed the xxjw4 CF Root file over stock Eclair by mistake, is the stock Eclair still there and can it be considered a soft-brick? If so I would like to know which firmware I can flash to fix this. Is xxjw4 an option or must I flash XXJVU first? (I have downloaded both firmwares and their respective CF Root files) Thanks in advance

Just try this solutions may or may not work, but no harm in trying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
three best stock rom XXJVU file, but with pit 512 and re-partition on.
Just find the Galaxy S drivers from somewhere, my computer does this sometimes, have u got windows 7 running on your PC? sometimes my laptop with windows 7 cant find my device, but my one with Windows Vista always manages to find it, try a different PC first. Once you found the device just flash a full stock version, like XXJVT for example, something with the pit., CODE, CSC and Modem file

Odin does not reformat /data and /cache and /dbdata back to rfs, so the kernel cannot mount it, hence the bootloop. Just do a factory reset from stock recovery and your good to go

Okay thanks for the info... So because I am not able to do the three button fix do you recommend that I jig the phone, and flash the three button fix, after that enter recovery and do a wipe? No need to flash the new firmware? (Which I do plan to do but only after I can get the phone up and running again with the jig)
If you can't find the resistors, you can buy the jig off ebay for about 2 quid. I know it's expensive for a 1p resistor and a 1p case but how much is your phone worth to you
The jig will definitely sort it.

True. I am able to make one though as it's simple enough. The question is what do I do once I get into download mode? Three-button fix or the new firmware? Would XXJW4 be good or should I get the XXJVU firmware instead?? Don't want to make another NoOb mistake. I am pretty much golden when dealing with the Motorola stuff!!

Odin must flash over stock rom / pda, phone, csc / pit with 512 and re-partition, preferably back to your stock 2.3.4 region.potom cf root-root kernel version of your firmware., Semaphore kernel and stock rom jw4 , 5.6 ..
it helped me
Flash something safe like XXJVU. Do a full flash too. PIT, CSC, PHONE AND PDA. You'll be fine
hey guys, i believe i acquired a soft bricked galaxy s last night. from what the girl told me, it had been rooted, custom rom installed, and im guessing a kernel aswell.it gets past the "world phone" screen then gets stuck at the glowing android coming out of the ground. Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?
What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?
Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

Beauty! So that should wake it up. And from there I can reboot, find out what is it has then flash a new ROM after making sure recovery works and whatnot?
After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).
Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today
well i built a jig using the three resistors from radioshack and a micro usb cable i found laying around. doesnt appear to be working...
