After flashing MIUI Jelly Beans I wanted to go back to stock 2.3 ROM to check on something and did a restore with CWM which didn't work because (as I've learned later) it uses different file system, anyway I've flashed s1_odin_20100512.pit file alone with Odin, and the result is that I can only turn the phone on in download mode.. What can I do now?
Thanks to everybody in advance..
I've tried to flash stock ROM using the method mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
and after finishing, Odin gave me "Fail".. What does it mean and what should I do now?

Tried to flash it again, now I'm stuck on "Set Partition" on Odin. is it safe to turn the phone off at this point and try again?

you have KIES running in the background shut it down, get solutions from My Android Solutions for Odin stuck
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...make sure you
have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing
Thanks a lot, and yes Samsung Kies was running in the background while I was trying to flash, I'll make sure it is shutdown this time, anyway the battery is almost at zero now and the phone isn't charging, so I'l have to wait for a friend who has SGS until tomorrow so I can charge the battery and try to flash the phone again.
On the other hand, I remembered something that might be important, which is that my phone have problems with internal memory (when you have error messages like "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"), not sure if it had something to do with failing to flash stock ROM besides having Samsung Kies running in background (because I got stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin only one time), so there might be something else ausing these problems..anyway I'll try to flash it again tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Look at My Android solutions again, for other problems, when you Flash bootloader, tick update bootloader too

You mean during flashing the ROM right? or should I flash bootloader separately?
(I didn't touch my phone yet, still waiting for my friend for recharging)

yup, just tick it, can be done separately too
Thanx a lot, the phone is working again, it turned out that you must use Windows account that have administrator privileges in order for the flashing process to work (not sure though cuase I've tried admin account after restart, so may be restarting PC was the answer)

Hi guys,
I 've seccesfully used JM7+Voodoo lagfix and I decided to flash the jm7 again because of the bug in Voodoo beta 3 which keeps the processor 100% all time long.
According to the instructions on voodoo lagfix website, you have to convert the filesystem from ext4 to RFS again, I did it succesfully.
Then I used odin, put the phone in download mode, usb cable and START on odin.
Problem is that odin was:
when I pushed start I got an error , and it didn't start, removed cable.Start again in download mode, start odin, then start again...
It did start but it was stuck on "do not turn off target!!!" for few minutes. So I had to stop it ( odin was running locally but my csc modem and code files were on a samba share, never took so long before )
Now when I turn on the phone I get an image like:
a pc and a mobile phone with an orange triangle with an exclamation point into it
and it won't start.
I have just the samsung usb drivers installed, and before doing this I did remove kies to save some space on C:
This is the first time it is behaving like this.
Did I brick the phone?
Thanks in advance any help is really appreciated.
P.s. at the moment I am installing kies again, download updates, and I ll try odin again.
you mean like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000

and now this?
all you need to do is go back to the download mode, which is this
then you can flash with Odin again
make sure all files are local
I mean the second image you posted mate.
Now it looks better guys!
I have reinstalled kies and used odin succesfully again.
Thanks again.

How were you able to get back to download mode? I did the same as you (unplugged when a flashing froze up) and can't get back to download mode..
Just that terrible 'orange triangle with exclamation mark' connect to PC symbol (does anyone know the technical name for this screen?)

Hi,
I recently rooted my galaxy s and installed tegrak kernel. Now it's in a boot loop. It won't start, even not in recovery mode. It go's to tegrak beginning screen and than to galaxy s screen. After that it starts up again. I think I installed the kernel wrong.
How can i delete the kernel without getting to the recovery mode, and without being able to connect to my pc because it doesn't start.
I can get to:

What to do?

Can you get in to download mode? vol down home and power?
If you can you could try flashing a different kernal through Odin. If not it might be worth trying a JIG
hey,
I can get in tegrak recovery, but all the recovery files aren't on the phone, neither on the sd card. Are there files i can download, put on my sd card and make Tegrak recovery use that?

Are you holding Volume UP or volume DOWN?
It now says downloading... (how do i know it's able to download, and it has connection etc)?
Honestly, if you don't know the difference between Recovery Mode and Download mode, step 1 would be to read a lot
Step 2 would be to read again to be sure you understand
Step 3: disable all lag fixes and thing you've done without knowing what you where doing and
step 4, search and read about darky's recovery rom, odin, dowload mode, kernel and the such
step 5, re-read what you think could fix it and confirm you understand
It still says: "Downloading... Do not torn off target!!!"..
Is that normal?
It will do so until you send something using odin.
Open the back cover and remove the battery and put it back so that it reboot
yes. it is.
search for odin and flash another rom. read a lot before you do that.
My sons UK i9000 has a problem, the touch keys were not working and the screen was cracked., so a replacement part was bought and new screen fitted.
The phone booted fine, but the new touch keys did not work, so we tried to update the touch key firmware with *#*#2663#*#* but then the phone refused to boot.
We tried to reflash to a stock rom, which went all ok with odin, but the phone never got past the galaxy s screen.
We have tried loads of different stock and custom roms, including darky's ressurection, but they all either boot to the galaxy s screen and go no further, or boot to the galaxy s screen then reboot after a short while.
Is there anything we can do, we can still access recovery and download mode.
Many thanks.
did you flash the official rom using the ".pit" file? i can only suggest this and this
hope it helps

Many thanks for the links, tried the gingerbread rom you linked to, phone boots to galaxy s screen, stays there for a while, then constant reboots again.
I'm having the same problem as OP.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Flash stock JVT firmware (check repartition) use 512 pit, flash Semaphore kernel. Go into CWM recovery, do a factory wipe. It should be good.
Nope, same problem, everything passes ok in odin, but the phone still reboot loops.
Would a faulty touch key cable cause it to do this or maybe something more serious?
Many thanks.
put your device in download mode and use this:

I tried to recover my galaxy s I9000 using odin, i had the 512 pit file and stock rom image 2.2froyo, and now mine doesnt even come on anymore, i could get it to go into download mode when the flash failed by taking the battery out unplugging usb, then plug usb in, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery, that worked for me until odin had succeeded, everything was correct, I did days and days of research about it before I went through with it, but now that it successfully flashed, the phone no longer enters download mode or see's any ounce of life, would the jig still work to force the phone to come on?
Tried the one click, first attempt it boots to the first GT I9000 and stays there.
Then tried with flash bootloaders ticked, but bootloops again.
Starting to loose faith in this phone.
if your son's phone was previously on Froyo, you may need to tick "flash bootloaders" in OneClick...
Help me please..i tried to flash the phone because it was in a bootloop for no reason..then i flashed it and i keep getting strange errors in the recovery when it finishes flashing with odin..

Weren't you flashing stock ? Which version did you use ?
Try use a different variant of fw with Odin and remember not to tick any checkboxes other than the default ones !
Yes i was flashing stock JW4 its not the first time of done this and this is not the only phone i have flashed..but this is something different its never happened before, could the internal SD be dead? :S
i tried different firmwares too and a different odin version but i always got the same result.. so please help me :/
Google emmc dead and you will find a method to test it via adb just to be sure !
after i tried different things the phone wont even boot up now..so i guess its dead..my last hope to get it running is the usb jig ( it wont even charge )
Maybe try pit file and boot loader but with extreme caution ! If you can get it download mode with jig

charge your battery externally , most likely your battery ran out while flashing , use solutions in My Android Solutions
nope..it wouldnt even start charging or anything..

well you need to buy a external charger or charge in solar charger or something. when this happens in flashing or booting bootloader stage you have limited options .
look at 25) Problem:- Phone completely DEAD, Not Charging and NO response, only this SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D in My Android Solutions
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
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, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3
i didnt say it .. i have another galaxy s .. i used that battery and it didnt start with that either.

HELP!
S20 FE 5G SM-G781B.
I am at my wits end here. I have tried and tried, but, nothing... tried flashing TWRP with Odin multiple times (and versions), get a A-OK, installed fine, then try to boot into recovery... and it's just standard recovery.
You must disable auto reboot in Options tab in odin.
I've done that. No Bueno. I've been (trying to) follow this guide, but when it comes to the "press Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button to enter Recovery" it just... doesn't work.
EDIT: Well, with USB connected Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button just dumps me in Download Mode...
Try volume up+power only.
That just boots me into the standard recovery.
Thanks for taking time to help me, btw
Try another version of odin then
I SWORE I had tried different versions of Odin.. I have 3 versions downloaded (3.10, 3.12, 3.14). Odin3 v3.12 did the trick... somehow... so far, so good. But of course, when one problem seemingly gets solved, another one arises...
I can't find the zips (multidisabler-samsung-2.6a, Magisk-v21.4) in TWRP. I'm about to chuck this stupid phone out the window.
EDIT: I hate this stupid phone. One step forward, two steps back...
does usb connect to computer?
Yes. But when I connect in TWRP I just get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And I can't copy any files to the Internal Storage.
Connecting 'normally' I can access my SD card and Internal Storage as normal.
It seems like the TWRP fried something on your phone......Does 'adb push files' work(I can elaborate on this if needed)
Figures Hope it's nothing irreversible.
The TWRP I'm flashing is twrp-3.5.0_10-2_afaneh92-Q-r8q. You know if this is the right one?
What android version are you on?
11
Then you have used wrong TWRP, as expected. This is the right one:

Friendly Remind you that you need to reboot directly into download mode and flash this recovery(i.e.AVOID booting into stock rom)(Surely, disable auto reboot)
Q means built for Android 10 and R means built for Android 11.You used 10 TWRP on 11 ROM so it is buggy.
Good to know about the Q/R difference, thx.
But flashing the R version yields the same results

Nooooo! That may really be a irreversible damage. Try factory reset in TWRP or/and reboot into stock rom, which may help.

Maybe more than figures. The whole data partition can be corrupt. Factory reset (format data) in TWRP for android 11. Hate to say but you have to say farwell to all your files, to say the least.
Meh, I don't have any data worth saving, so that's no biggie... I just want to root this damn phone...
