[Q] Bootloop problem - no way to enter recovery

Hi,
I was runing CM10 with Semaphore 2.3.0 kernel and decided to do backup. At the moment I had 20% of the battery and unfortunately, I've stopped backup process.
The problem is that phone is stuck in bootloop, doesn't want to enter recovery console with powerup+home+power but I can enter Download mode with powerdown+home+power.
What should I do?
Please help!

Download Odin and download an official firmware from sammobile.com.
Then flash it through Odin.
just use Google if u don't know how to do it.

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.
This alone could have solved your problem, if it did not, try a solution from My Android Solutions

[Q] Stuck at bootimage, comp finds it, only at downloadmode

Hi, today my phone crashed like hell and i decided to restart it. But first i got the bootloop problem. But after a few restarts the phone just started to boot up in the boot screen where it only says: Samsung Galaxy i9000 etc. My computer still recognizes the phone but only in downloadmode. I am using the Cyanogenmod 7.1, 2.3.7
Please help!
And sorry for my bad english. it's my second languade..

First, just try another ROM.
If that doesn't work, then do a factory reset and then try it.
If you are not able to boot to recovery, then download Odin, an official firmware from sammobile.com, and flash it through download mode. I am going to sleep,so Google it if u don't know how to flash through odin!

Thank you so much mate everything works great.

I use this thread...
I have a very big problem here !!!
I merged 2 i9000 broken in one that i think would work ... (one was only broken the screen, i use then it's mainboard on one that have the screen working)
It turn on, but remains the i9000 logo fixed and go in bootloop, I can only get into download mode and not in recovery.
Thinking it was a problem of bootloader/kernel/rom, I tried to flash anything:
JVT rom with bootloader
only kernel
Ezboot
SBL
JIG
etc .....
but no success, stuck on i9000 logo and no recovery mode.
any suggestions?
sorry for my bad english, Please help meeee ! :crying:

I assume you have you looked at the various solutions in My Android Solutions
since you have merged this to work, is it possible the motherboard had problems, did you try switching motherboard.
Most of all, I need to see the booting log, as to what are the errors, you are getting to understand as to why its not working ...hope you can post especially anything that is appearing in red
