this is what happened
i installed sgs tools...tried the hacked camera.apk
since that was not working, i tried reverting it by running the restore script....
when i opened camera, my screen became black and it has stayed ever since...
i restart my phone and it shows the boot screen, the s shimmers for a long time and then black screen again....
and i cant seem to get into recovery mode.... i have tried many times...
EDIT:got into recovery mode after 100 tries....what do i do now?
i have tried wiping data, and clearing the cache....doesnt solve the issue...
my phone is rooted.....i dont think i'll have warranty..
please help!!!!!
if you have 3 button combo working (download mode working) find some rom which you want to install and do it by odin.
best to find middle package (Richtchofen ones with his instructions, they quite plain and simple)
you could try put only pda part of the rom without repartition
if it will be stock room the same as you have now in your phone your warranty will be untouch

No make sure you flash the stock fw and use the 512 pit and have all options,ticked
Just find and read instruction how to proper repartition phone and flash it in Richtrofen posts (short and simple) which include links to roms.
do as it said and your phone will be working fine. mine was exactly on the same state few times and repartition with stock rom always helped

Recovery is working, But i do have the error here : " Your storage is not prepared yet etc etc etc.."
And download mode also working...
Is there any rom that I can put ?
if you can get download mode working you can flash another ROM thru Odin, start of on a stock ROM then work your way back to a custom ROM if thats what u want.

I've got the same problem. Phone boots in both download and Recovery mode, but it cannot access internal SD since it was formatted in Ext4 by the lagfix (yes, I forgot to bring it back before using Odin).
Is there any way to solve this without sending the phone to Samsung?

The thing is " I use a stock rom from samfirmware...."...
flashing back to stock rom should remove the ext4 lagfix. did for me anyway.
link for stock firmware is in post above ^^^^

Did that !
I'll try to do it with csc and modem file...
what is reset EFS Phone ?
I probably solved. I'm going to make a FULL flash to JPU with three files and PIT, then I'll upgrade to JS3, then will swith to a custom ROM.
This should work
sorry my mistake i assumed you already had 3 files and pit ... yeah that should work
dont tick EFS just the re partition and auto reboot f. reset time

tHERE IS JUST ONE TAR FILE???
you can flash with just one file. jus put the .tar file into the PDA part of odin. and thats all u need to do. no pit no csc no nothing just PDA
Reboot problems also
Hi! I was just wondering is this method going to work even I have custom rom (Darkys extreme edition 9.0.2) installed ?
Only asking because something went terribly wrong, and phone just keeps rebooting all the time. So with odin + I9000XXJPY (stock firmware) everything goes back to normal? and after that I can start all over to see what went wrong

G'evening guys,
got a little bit of a problem here. My (european) Samsung Galaxy S is screwed. As soon as I boot it up, it loads a custom flashed TWLauncher which immediatly crashes. I can click the message away, but then after a few vibrations it will crash again. I can put it in Kies Mode, but I can't get Kies on Win to start some kind of recovery.
If I try to get into the bootloader, I'm only gonna see the default Samsung bootloader. I tried to push an update.zip on the phone, but it would not install due to some kind of signature errors.
Story first:
1. Rooted it with Superoneclick v1.4
2. Installed Recovery Manager. Not sure if some kind of recovery has been installed, at least none permanent.
3. Updated TWLauncher with SGS Tools in Flash
4. Did a factory wipe
I already tried loading a custom firmware via Update.zip and searched for an official update.zip, but didn't found one.
Also tried to push an older TWLauncher via adb, but this failed as I couldn't use su.
So, does anybody have a clue on how to solve this? Or will the only way to fix it be a send-in to Samsung?
LOL!!!
bricked just because of TWLauncher......
I think that is not brick.....
Flash stock rom via Odin.

sry for my english
thx for your answer i have tried a few times to flash my sgs with odin but it didnt work . i have started my sgs into the downloding mode and then i start odin to flash and then it does nothing
did you use a guide for flashing through odin? is your phone drivers installed on your computer? what kind of error?
Alright buddy, I agree sounds like you need to reflash a new rom.
Check out this link. By no means am I ordering you to flash darky's rom (even though it is bloody brilliant) It's a good guide for using odin.
If you follow it down to part 2 of the guide then you will have a basically stock Gingerbread with a few tweaks to make it a better experience.
Be sure to read it carefully as some of it isn't necessarily for you.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...g-rc6-need-to-flash-dark_core_2-2-first.2382/
All credits go to darky, ficeto and ceriko obviously for the rom & guide.
Good luck
It's only a BRICK if the device is completely unrecoverable. This isn't even a soft-brick... the launcher just crashed.
Flash a new rom with ODIN;
or Flash a Kernel with CWM recovery via ODIN, and then boot into recovery.
Odin will work; just make sure you've got the drivers installed.
@kilokilo1066
thx this was a good idea but now i have the problem that odin is standing on set Partition and that over one hour what should i do ?? cancel odin and tried again ?
Thanks for your help my sgs is working again the thread can be closed
You made it sound as if your phone was bricked! lol
I'd recommend you to install the Darky ROM 9.5.
I myself am a totally new Android and Galaxy S user. The first thing I did after unboxing my phone was to flash Darky's 9.5 on it. Its brilliant.
Here's the guide.
EDIT: Turns out I'm not allowed to post links. Well use google!

Glad your sgs is back up and running buddy
Like what everyone els is saying, a reflash is the way to go. Id recomend flashing with EZbase. they offer the best stocklike roms.

Read the god damn thread people. Problem solved. Let this thread die.
My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop
My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...
If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime
I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?
I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks
Lol I cant understand those firmwares ..can you tell me which version of android you want like 2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6 ...then ill be able to help you wanr

Thanks anyway but I managed to find the firmware online and flashed it using Odin.
Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T
U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers
In the chance that someone else is looking for this latest OEM firmware update:
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.
whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...
Progress?

PS : while flasing with odin : "big partition size!!"
Hey peeps iv got a big problem it happened yesterday with my Galaxy note GTn7000. I was on stock ICS LPT and was flashing new kernels through CWM when suddenly my phone just kept freezing on the Samsung screen when I start it up and it has been happening since yesterday. I think it was the speedmod ICS kernel that I flashed that made this happen. I flashed Abys kernel through odin and could get in to CWM. I did factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik/cache and then flashed checkrom which was on my SD card. Installation was fine but then it got stuck on the Galaxy note startup screen. I was searching for answers on the XDA forums and someone suggested that you flash a stock full wipe GB rom. So I tried to flash LC1 open Europe rom and was waiting for an hour the the rom to flash through ODIN which had only a bit left on the bar to flash and it didn’t flash it just froze. I tried 3 times and the same thing happened . I have used the USB jig to erase previous downloads and reset binary count. I flashed ICS LPT rom through odin and it flashed normally but when it starts up it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can get into download mode and CWM so it means Im in a softbrick. Do you think I should download an ICS rom and put it on to my SD card and then try flashing it ? Help would be appreciated thanks.
Here is the video of what happens. Basically i have waited for 4 hours yesterday and it just stays on the samsung screen
Hey, Id recommend you flashing back to GB via ODIN before we continue.
ICS still has a few bugs and that could interfere with getting you back up and running.
Hey thanks i will download a new GB stock rom, i cant post the video link because im a new member dang...

So you've extracted the original tar file, you don't need to, just point the original tar file to the pda section of pc odin, it will sort out each partition for you.
