Galaxy S stuck in CWM bootloop! HELP! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm really in a bad spot here.
So I installed CM10 on a GT-i9000, worked fine except for the hardware buttons not working. So from there, I decided to install SlimBean (A foolish mistake that I thought was foolproof). And boom, now I am here, stuck in a CWM bootloop, and I've tried factory resetting and all, still boots the same.
I've tried installing other roms, sometimes it reboots during installation and doesn't complete, and even if it does complete, same problem, it boots into CWM. And I've noticed a new Samsung AnyCall Boot logo every since I tried SlimBean.
I've tried updating the kernel, no luck. I bought a download mode jig, but windows does not detect the Galaxy S in download mode with Kies installed. (I think I disabled USB Debugging in CM10)
Any suggestions? This is really stressing me out. I'm prepared to use odin, but download mode is not recognized on my PC.

You will hadware buttons failure when you flash a i9000 ROM on an Anycall M110S ( Korean Galaxy S) , so I am curious are you sure your phone is not an Anycall M110S? since you also getting Anycall boot screen...sounds odd, that i9000 will do that.
For USB connection problems , just try link on Quick Fixes and Solutions link below

Go back your original firmware...

Any updates to this?
I am having a similar situation. I tried flashing ICS ROM to my Anycall Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. It is now stuck in recovery mode. I tried doing factory reset and wiping the cache and dalvik cache and tried reflashing. Everything goes fine but gets stuck in the recovery mode - more correctly in download mode but the download mode logo flashes twices and enters to recovery mode.
Any possible solutions to get me out of this mess?
Thanks,
Sid

your problem will be solved with this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
Edit : above url is for S+ your device is S , sorry .

Thanks, but anything similar for Galaxy S? And remember my download mode does not stay, if flashes twice and runs into recovery mode. So if your solution is something to do in recovery mode it will be helpful (or if your solution is to first make me stay on download mode and then flash something using odin I will be thankful)
Regards,
Sid

Check your Model, Anycal does not make GT I9000, it makes only M110S and firmwares / solutions for them vary.
If you have Anycal M110S visit PIT STOP link below to solve your problems
Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.

worked for me

fixed that easily by removing the accu..

Later on I inserted the SD again..and everythings fine

Glad that worked for you, but I for some reason can't be so lucky. I tried to also flash CWM 10 but after the home key not working I decided to flash Slim Bean and now I am stuck. My phone isn't even recognized by Odin any more and I have tried different USB ports and even my laptop with Heimdall. I don't know what to do at this point, but any kind of suggestions would be great. Usually when I get stuck I just flash back to Stock and start all over with a new ROM or kernel but I have no idea where to go from this point.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Mini

Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...
Yohan
u cant even enter recovery?if u can,just wipe cache and data..

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.
Follow this step

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install
Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.
It should work.

Have you tried a USB jig?
It forces the device to boot into download mode and then you can flash with Odin
You could have a look in the wiki theres a point how to recover from a brick
If its not working tell me back

Ace won't turn on.

OK... so a couple of days ago a friend of mine screwd my phone when he tried to install clockwork recovery without rooting, I was stuck at Samsung logo, no recovery, only download mode... so today after going through tons of threads so I could use Odin with ace on win8.. I finnaly managed to un**** it... so I could re**** it again... so I followed this thread after reviving the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
After rooting and instaling cw, I tried to install a ROM on it, namely nightly cm (found somewhere here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188679)... I got a status 7 error cause of the assertion, which in removed, after successfully installing the ROM (or so recovery mode said) I tried reboting and it no longer turned on. Doesn't seem to charge and it won't boot...
The only things I can think of that i did wrong were:
Having under 50% battery life
Not removing sim card
PS: also before installing ROM I cleared caches and reset to fact. Settings
Any ideas on how to fix this? If not, what did I do wrong here?
EDIT: ok so i think i figured out what i did, i wanted to download this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575 ... i went to the "external webstie" to download, and i think i downloaded this rom "android cm_skate-userdebug-cm-10.2 (stable)" which it seems its not for my phone :S ...
Is it possible to boot into download mode now? would a usb jig work? something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8822843&postcount=1
Or is it a lost cause?
Thanks...
PS: oh god, to think i removed the assertion that was saving my phone... ahh **facepalm** , why didnt i read the damn assertion...

If you want to use stock rom again then flash stock rom via odin through download mode. to get to download mode, press volume down + home + power button at the same time until it shows a small "downloading..." word. For further info, How to upgrade, root & flash Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

Thanks for the answer, i know the "shrotcut", as i said in the op i used odin allready, but the big issue is the phone does not react to the power button, idk what the rom i installed did, if its bricked or if its just expecting a different input rather than the supposed power button, in which case the jig should work...

[Q] Samsung logo freeze, cant recovery, can download mode (cant join to pc)

Hello everyone I am sure that there is a lot of this thread going.
But I think mine is even worse.
the problem:
I rooted the device, everything worked fine ( did it with card reader - because my pc can not recognize the device had the problem a long time ago, somehow it worked then, but does not now, giving me the code 10 and 43
I think my USB port on the SAMSUNG might be damaged, because it does recharge but wont connect at all, tried kies, tried all the debugging modes, drivers, turning off the computer, rebooting all that stuff..)
The main problem is I flashed the cwm, rebooted, worked fine, then I clicked the do Backup thing and from then I can only go to yellow "downloading" or samsung logo, cannot even use that "Odin" because my USB is apparently damaged.. Any Ideas at all other than taking the phone and throwing it into the dumpster?
it is gt-s5830
my system is Win7-64bit
any help will be deeply appreciated ...

Did you, while flashing, thick "re-partition"? If you are, that is reason.
On your place, I will change computer and USB cable and try again.
If nothing helps, then find PIT files for your phone model and flash it with PIT file (re-partition) and stock firmware.
At first I unticked re-partition and ticked Auto reboot and f.reset time , I then flashed the firmware which had no luck, Secondly I flashed with re-partiion Ticked with no luck aswell ! I also unticked all except for Nand erase Still no luck , I flashed my model PIT file with the original firmware same thing NO luck ... So maybe it's an hardware problem , I have attempted to do this on another computer and still no luck with re-partition unticked.
Hmmm... U already try all available options...
Maybe try with older version of Odin, go on SamFirmware site find your model and look at version of Odin...
Otherwise, u make brick
