Hi,
I am from UK and am a complete and utter noob and not very technical at all.
I bought an SGS GT i9000 and it already had 'Darkys ROM' installed. (I just thought that was normal). The phone worked well etc and a few days later since the phone was second hand I came across a 'factory reset' option and then the phone never worked again.
Got stuck in a boot loop so I read.
Also my phone will not enter download or recovery mode using the 3 button procedure so I purchased a 'jig' off ebay. It will now go into download mode upon inserting the jib.
I tried to recover the phone by following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802778
I completed all the steps but it made no difference to the phone. It still gets stuck in the boot loop.
Can anyone recommend a guide for me? I have seen others but cannot follow them as they often use too much jargon.
Furthermore, if possible I would like to just put my phone back on to a stock ROM. But I will do anything just to get it back working again and cross such bridges once it is up and running!
All help is really appreciated.
cheers
Furthermore,
Odin output (from following the xda guide linked above):
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
Odin resets the phone after the firmware update start and then it gets stuck in the same loop again. The four colours coming together to form an x-shape (red, yellow, green and blue).
After which the phone starts up and gets stuck in the boot loop where it was getting stuck previously.
Can anyone point this noob in the right direction please?
thanks

Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due tio differnt versions of Galaxy S
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.
Odin will get stuck for two reasons 1) KIES is running in the background of your PC or 2) the files you downloaded are corrupted
Look at the solutions thread for answers and collections thread for rescue kits
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
Hey
try to upgrade to 2.3.6 (link below) after applying the JIG..plus make sure that u have the SGS drivers installed and KIES IS NOT RUNNING...
checkout video guide for bricked sgs gti9000 on youtube puggereduk.com
here try this i made it myself just read the readme and follow. works for me everytime
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?34oxweahfpy53dj
I agree with the recent posts, you need to follow a guide on how to flash a stock rom through Odin. Good luck flashing!

after you're flashing with Odin, then restating automatic in download mode, press the power button for 10 seconds (until tab will switch off), then restart by pressing the power button together with volume up. wait until finishing installing of CSC and then will restart by it self.
check my tread

I can't get you....can you describe a little what have you done? you're saying that you flash the firmware with Odin, right? and then? have you restarted in recovery mode? or you boot the phone loading the OS.....you should restart directly in recovery mode in order to finalize the installation of PDA and CSC....
Good Morning,
after flash from JMD and Pit i am flash the dbdata. At now the Tab works greatly. Thank you for your help.

Welcome back in our family.
I bought a New Samsung Galaxy TAB, just two days back, from Amazon.com and was shipped to Washington DC. It's an unlocked version that has no Operator logos on it. It was indeed an awesome thing until I used my magic hands on it only 15 hours after I received.
I had a problem with Arabic Characters; they were disconnected and sometimes reversed. So, I searched over the net for one day and chose to install a ROM from Samfirmware.com. I chose the latest firmware from the table of arabic firmwares. It's P1000JPJM5. (P1000JPJM5 ## P1.PIT Version 2.2 2011 January), so here are the steps that I've gone through:
1. Download the firmware.
2. I use the Odin 1.7 and applied the PIT file first. It finished successfully in 11 seconds.
3. I put the Galaxy tab in the Download mode (decrease volume + Power).
4. I applied the PDA using the Odin 1.7, I chose the TAR file that came with the P1000JPJM5 downloaded file.
5. A light blue indicator started just below the Download logo, the indicator progressed cheerfully, but suddenly stopped. I checked the Odin, and found a "FAILED!" sign. I searched the log, and found the following error:
<ID:0/045> cashe.rfs
<ID:0/045> Modem.bin
<ID:0/045> Complete(Write) Operation failed
<ID:0/045> All threads completed. (Succeed 0/ Failed 1)
attached is a jpg file having the error exactly.
6. Regardless of the warning saying "Don't unplug the target" or whatever it said by that time, and since the application of the firmware stopped, I unplugged the USB cable. I did that after waiting for 20 minutes whereas the Galaxy Tab didn't show any response but that download logo and the non-moving indicator.
7. After I did that, the Galaxy Tab became dead. Whenever I attach it to the computer, it displays a 3 icons screen; a computer, a phone, and a warning triangle with an exclamation mark. I assume that this means that there is an error in the connection between the Tab and the computer.
8. No matter how many times I tried the Download, recovery or any other thing, the phone would only display one of two things, the 3 icons screen that I listed in the previous step, or the Battery screen showing a grey battery.
HELLLLLP!!!!
Regards,
Khatypically.
Go to samfirmware.com download the files for your device.
Select pit file then check repartition - flash
Select pda csc modem, uncheck repartition - flash.
Good luck! If you get any trouble send me a msg. on skype luc_de_mar

Thanks Lucian, This is exactly what I did in the first place. Used Odin 1.7 and applied the PIT file coming with it, then applied the P1000JPJM5 PDA and CSC modem file.
Unless the P1000JPJM5 is not for my device?? How to know?
Lucian, any clue?
My tab is dead after I tried to install an arabic firmware from samfirware.com. I bought my tab originally from the US. Now, I'll download the "suitable" firmware from samfirmware.com as you advised, but How would I ever know the suitable firmware given that my device is exactly this one (that's where I bought)(my devise is dead now and can only display the download mode):

Khatypically, alive with a zoombie tab
totally unresponsive tab
I have been searching around forums looking for advice and have been unable to locate a solution so here seems as good a place as any to ask for help. I have an unlocked gtp-1000 that has been running overcome 1.4.5 for last month very nicely until tonight when I thought it would be a good idea to get some gingerbread goodness like I have been using on my nexus one. was going to flash Overcome ROM v2.0.0 BETA 2 and was following guide but only got halfway through flashing stock gingerbread with odin when laptop unexpectedly did a restart for an unknown reason while I was away getting a snack. was unsure whether flashing process had been completed so opened odin again and tried reflashing. couldnt get past
setup connection...
so tried to reboot into download mode and then powered down. now tab is dead. battery was at 80% when it died
before I take back to samsung tomorrow any ideas?
I have plugged into wall charger= nothing
plugged into laptop=nothing and not detected
held power and volume up=nothing
held power and volume down=nothing
held power and volume up & home=nothing
no sounds or anything at all on screen
truly bricked?
Updates:
Hi Guys,
I applied the p1000nubjm2 firmware. I downloaded it from samfirmware. It's the latest P1000L firmware for America/Australia. It failed in the PDA file: P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME.TAR . I was planning to apply the gingerbread update after that.
Now to the results, As you know, before, I was able to reach the download mode, the startup Galaxy Tab/Samsung screen, and the battery displays when connecting the cable. Now, after application of this lovely firmware and failure, nothing (literally "Nothing") takes place. The device became more dead than it was before . It doesn't display anything and it doesn't respond to power or displays the battery. It became a black $500 cost brick No matter how much time I keep it charging (or what "should be" charging), it would never startup again (sigh!) The ODIN and samsung kies no more recognize the device when connected to the computer.
Any additional clues before I decide to convert it to a teacup base?
Regards,
ARK
Beat with me guys, I am very very new to this board, and I apologize if I post this in the wrong area.
Lemme start from scratch.
My phone is not rooted or anything like that. BUT I wanted to update my software for the Captivate to 2.2 using samsung Kies.
Not sure what happened, I though I had the correct drivers installed and what not, but it gave me the screen with the phone, exlamation mark, and computer.
I can put my phone into download mode, and I installed odin3 one click downloader. The problem is, when it gets to the part 'file analysis' it gets stuck there.
I watched a video on youtube and his went automatically, so I'm not sure at ALL what to do. If I can fix this myself, I'd love to. If not, I will go through AT&T and see if I can get it replaced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure how to fix it, but if you have to send it into samsung say it got screwed up somehow while trying to update to KB1, in truth that is what happened, plus if you say that they will try to fix it fast
If you have access to another computer, download ODIN and try it on that one. Odin works on my laptop but not on my desktop.
CM7 Inspire 4G
What you have is a soft brick. Keep trying to get into download (try both 2 and 3 button methods) and then retry Odin. Look in Dev subforum for the "How to flash a ROM" sticky as there is good info on how to do this.
Samsung was absolutely no help lol.
Well.. I guess I can try this on another desktop.
Jeez I regret trying to upgrade man. Shoulda waited and learned more.
Has anyone had odin3 get stuck at file analysis before?
What model is your Cappy? You can find the model number underneath the battery (on the phone itself). It should have a number like 1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,etc.
Also, it'll be a good idea to try this alternate method in the mean time:
Make sure you know how to go to Download Mode, and that you have the drivers installed properly.
Windows 64bit
Windows 32bit
This is the manual (or "full") Odin, it's taken from a post by icezar1 in the Development Forum:
Do not use this if you want to send your phone back to ATT or Samsung for warranty!
Do not use this if you know you flashed a -LOW- ODIN package (when opening the PDA***.tar or CODE***.tar you will find inside boot.bin or sbl.bin)
Use this if you want to go back to stock before flashing a custom ROM.
Use this without worries if you changed your boot screen image or if you flashed the secondary boot loader which allows you to enter download/recovery with key combos.
Download the package from here
How to:
Remove sdcard and SIM card from the phone
Extract JF6_secure.zip somewhere.
Boot your phone in Download Mode
Run Odin3 v1.3.exe
Plug in your phone via USB
Click on the button PDA
Choose JF6_secure.tar.md5
Click start
Wait and do not unplug cable until it is finished

Just for clarity sake, those are not the model numbers, they are build date (first two are year, second two are month). The model number of the Captivate is i896 or i897.
I know, I keep saying that they're model number though for some reason. Thanks anyway I guess.
Thank you venomio this 1.3 is working much better.

I'm in the same exact situation as the OP. I'll try the instructions posted below and report my findings.
check your build number first before you flash using odin. certain build may not work with odin one-click.
an usb jig will help you out if you cannot get into the download mode or just in case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...84198&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_782wt_1139
New member and somewhat stupid for trying to do this:
Long story short I attempted to throw gingerbread 2.3.X on the phone and now its stuck in either download mode, recovery mode, or if i just turn it on it comes up and says "GALAXY S GT-I9000 Samsung" The last thing that was successful was putting the SpeedMod Kernel on it.
In recovery mode it says "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK" on top and bottom.
The phone started out with factory settings.
When i try and use the ODIN 3 and try to do the Mast Clear it says :
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> Master Clear Started.....
and then stays like that indefinately...
Same thing with hitting "start"
Please let me know how to fix this, I know there are some really brilliant individuals on this forum and it would be greatly appreciated.
search for odin, download it, follow the steps and flash back to stock. you'll be fine especially since you can get into download mode.
edit: gah you already have odin. do you have one click or the one where u have to put the pit and tar files?
the same advice applies though, find the stock files, and go into download mode, then plug it in and flash back to stock.
i think master clear only works when the phone is on and you have usb debugging enabled.
Ive got ODIN 1.7 and ODIN3. I can get them to both recognize the phone but when I try and hit "start" with v1.7 it ust sits there forever. and Im not able to get ODIN3 to do anything either.
Any way you could provide a more step by step solution?
If you're having problems with ODIN, something that seemed to work for me was to remove my SIM card.
Try removing it and see if you have any luck.
I dont have anything in the phone, no sim and no external.
Just left it alone for a bit and came back and turned the comp back on and everything worked for ODIN. Thanks for the help fellas
Hello gentlement. I have an Galaxy S I9000, and i have used a custom rom for about 2-3 months, unfortunately i can't remember which one, and as i cant boot my phone, im not sure how i can find out. I flashed it using Odin and Clockwork mod, both of which worked great. The problem now started out with me not being able to start my phone while charging, didn't pay much attention to it and just waited until it was charged, or unplugged it, started it, then charged it while it was on.
Now im having a different problem. I cant start my phone, the startscreen just says "Samsung galaxy S" etc, and it tries to reboot again and again.
I can start the phone into "download mode", but recovery mode doesnt seem to work.
Since the rom has been working flawlessly in the past, im not sure its the roms "fault"; might just be my phone singing on it's last verse.
Does anybody know what can cause this, or have a fix i can do in download mode?
I think i have read all the necesarry stickies, if i've missed something i apologize.
Thanks for all responses, regards - superegge
When this happens on ICS I reflash a kernel through odin in download mode and then reflash the ROM.
If your ROM is non wipe you could try this, otherwise I'd just try flashing a kernel and see if it boots.

yep, it could be due to cable or mostly the PC, try on lap top or another PC, added concerning this to Quick fixes, take a rest first,
ive had the same problem with Odin. But that had to do with rooting, and the oneclick superuser program.
Hopefully it will work when you try on a new pc. Good luck superegge!
hi there..
since i bought my phone it never got a firmware update, neither OTA nor a manual one. It came and stayed with android 2.2 with all these years.
Now that i am more into android i decided to use a custom rom, this one = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012061
But before flashing this rom i had to flash it with an official 2.3 rom, since it was one of the requirements and it still had a 2.2 in it.
I went to samobile, grabbed this rom http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=4340, plus a .PIT that was necessary according to the tutorial i was following.. and on the first attempt i got the error and the device got bricked.. So i tried, and tried, and tried... but i always end up getting the same error within Odin. This one:
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/004> __Xmit Write fail
<ID:0/004> XmitData Fail..
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
The device is now bricked, i can't even enter in downloadmode anymore, so i bought a USBJIG to enter in downloadmode and it works, but i still get the same error when trying to flash. I've tried dozens of different roms (of course all of them were made for this device), different versions of Odin, different USB port, Samsung Kies is installed but it is completely closed. I don't know what else to do, i need help... Please help?

you cannot use i9000 ROM's only i9000B ROM's, you need to kill KIES , Open task manager and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe
preferably use Odin 1.85 or 3.04
FIRST STEP for ALL Problems:-
Whenever you have a problem with your Phone, power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and trying any solution
First reboot PC after a power cord unplug and also reboot the Phone after a battery pull. Always use a Fresh Odin after any attempt to flash, than make sure you "Uncheck Repartition", If you had checked it or clicked PIT when you are not using one. You should also be running Odin as an Admin and ensure that KIES is not running when using Odin. Most of all, only use Samsung USB cable and not others as they may be incompatible and trying it out on a lap top or another PC ( when it happens repeatedly)
i discovered what was causing the error. it was Windows 8, samsung drivers are not working correctly on it, i don't know if this is a localized or a global problem... my guess is it is a global one
i had Kies installed in windows 8,and all its process were killed before flashing pretty much on all of the time i was trying to flash.
yesteday by pure luck my sister came to my house for a visit, and she had hers notebook with her that btw has windows7, so i decided to try flashing the phone through it, i grabbed it installed samsung drivers and didn't install Kies, surprisingly, for me at least, the flashing went perfectly OK on the first attempt.
after the flash i had one error, "couldn't mount db/data", i googled it and easily fixed it already, but that is another thing for another thread.
thank you for helping

All PC's running any version of windows seem to get USB connection problems at one time or the other But lap tops and notebooks seldom have this problem.
