why I cant connect to wifi after flushing?

if you have ANY problem with booting/running your samsung phone, just reflash ROM:
a)bring phone in Download mode again (Turn it with pressing HOME+VOLUME DOWN+POWER buttons )
b) if you get display with showing image: computer connected to phone with broken cable, JUST simply connect it again to PC (better to another usb port) and run ODIN again!
that's my experience with SG3 and SGS+

so.. i have my samsung gsplus in downloading mode, what now???
it's like 10 minuts now

ow and now i even don't get it in download mode anymore.
Have the phone-pc logo.
odin won't connect..
can someone pleaze help me???

take out the battery
wait like 2-3 min
insert it again
boot into download mode and flash a stock rom via odin

ok phone is now in dowload mode again.
Won't set up a connection in odin :s
error: cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5
EDIT: ow that was becouse KIES was open.
Now it almost started bus ODIN freezes :s

try another usb port
or another computer

wauw haha thank you, just another usb port did the job
how easy

can any body help my phone gone to dead....after i flash kernel speedmod k2 16 its go to dead...when i try to on its no respond....whyyy....i cant go to download mod or recovery mod help plz

well there is no speedmod k2 16 kernel for our device
so you flashed a kernel for an other device thats the reason why your phone got bricked
never flash a kernel which is built for an other device !!!!

You Flashed a Kernel for SGS, so that was predictable. Perhaps you can get into download mode through USB-JIG (just use search)

GalaxyS rebooting in loop and no download mode!

Hi,
I have flashed my GalaxyS with the hardcore kernel. (I rebooted in download mode with "adb reboot download" bacause the 3 key combination didn't work for me).
Now the device is rebooting endlessly with the boot screen "GalaxyS".
I can't access download mode now.
How can I fix this issue?

Hm okay - lets think... you didn't get in Download-Mode before... Now you have a bootloop (what FW do you were on? What Speedmod Version did you flash? etc...) - why should you get in Download-Mode now...
Can you go in Recovery?
If so then you can use "adb reboot download" another time

Hi , if you cannot access download mode through adb or the three button combo you will have to make or buy a USB jig to force download mode (search xda or Google or eBay) then next step is install stock firmware .

Sorry to hi jack but I also have a I9000M stuck on a bootloop (samsung screen). I can access download mode and have flashed stock firmware but still the same. IS there something I'm forgetting to do?

No I can't go in recovery. The button combinations do not work. I think I will have to buy or make a jig like imgibby123 advised.

It is Kernel-Bootloop.
I made a usb jig following some videos (search galaxy s usb jig for more details) and now I can access download mode.

Only reflashing can help.... I had this problem too

1.The combination button must follow corect order [Vol up (or down) + Home + Power]
2.Try to remove battery and put it back, then go to Download mode.
That is my experience..good luck, my friend

First thing you do before anything else is making sure you have 3buttoncombination. Which you didnt or else you wouldnt have been in this mess.

plz help
plz help im on the same situation

I've moved this thread to the correct section (Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting), you're far more likely to get a relevant answer here

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S - Buttons not working

Hello I am new here ;P
Yesterday my phone won't boot anymore so I kinda had a problem. The software I had installed was:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-4-ics-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
I was trying to get my phone back working and looked up some guides online. I tried to use the same guide I used before ( up here) but that won't work. So I kept looking to get my phone back working and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
I picked this one:
I897UCKJ3 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
And just put my phone in download mode and installed it.
My phone booted again and I was able to use it but now I have some major issues..
- My home button is not working anymore.
- My back button works like a home button and closes all my apps
- The volume buttons don't work anymore
- When i plug it in my computer or the outlet to power it, it turns off. So I can't take things of it to my computer
Also my 3G isn't working anymore. I can't use it anymore now and I have no idea how to fix this :S IF anyone has a solution that would be great.
Otherwise I will try to bring it to the store..

Use this Odin or Heimdall i897ucKK4 One Click. It will do a full wipe and will get u back to Stock GB 2.3.5

(Your capacitive buttons are messed up because u flashed i9000 firmware on ur i897 Captivate.)

But I can't get into download anymore since my buttons aren't working properly :S
Also I can't seem to charge my phone anymore and the battery is low atm..

U got a Jig ? If not, see my signature link below for a link on where to buy or how to make one.
U could also try to clean out the micro usb port and try a different cable.

Have you tried only using the down volume for recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Yep. Good call ko. .... Since he flashed i9000 firmware and it may have included bootloaders (i didn't look at the link that close)...
Download = power button and volume down together.
Recovery = power button and volume up together.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

If I hold the power button + volume down it shows me the At&T logo and then just starts up my phone without getting into download mode! :S

Try the above download method with ur phone powered off if u didn't already. If a no go then try below...
Open Odin or Heimdall (whichever u decide to use), Pull battery, replace it and cover, connect usb end of ur cable to the pc (not in a hub, but preferably a port in the back of the pc), hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone. Does ur phone go into Download mode ? If so, proceed.

I'm gonna try what you said now
EDIT:
Okay I did what u said and my phone got into download mode!
I downloaded this file :
I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe
And Odin found my phone and I pressed Start
It now says SetupConnection.. for about 5 minutes
How long do I have to wait?

If still no progress...U can stop Odin and completely start over as i outlined. Try a different port and/or different cable.

Be sure to have a constant power source and a reliable cable when flashin bootloaders. During the few seconds it takes to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, u don't want to loose power or usb/micro usb connection.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

Okay I did that and I manged to install that one click i897uckk4.
It installed the new software and all my apps are gone again but still the home button is not working and the back button still closes all my apps.

And for future reference, once u have these bootloaders flashed that r included with the kk4, there should be no need to flash back to stock with bootloaders again. If u ever need to flash stock i897 firmware again, just use one without bootloaders.

Yes. That was a full wipe firmware.
Not sure why ur home button is not working and back button acts like home button ??? May be capacitive hardware issue ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

I have no idea why these buttons are doing so weird but I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem because only when I installed this they stopped working. Are there any other versions I can try like the one I had before or would that totally destroy my phone?
I was trying to follow this tutorial to get it back running again but since I couldn't get into download mode I never did that:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-1-galaxy-s-i9000-install-remics-jb-rom/
Can I just follow that guide now or would that get into trouble with the stuff I just installed?

^
U don't need to flash that stuff in the guide u linked, because that is only for i9000.
There are other firmwares u can try to flash in that thread where the kk4 is located. Just use the ones without bootloaders.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

It now says:
"Firmware upgrade fail!
Try using recovery mode"
When I try to get it into download to install another version without bootloaders o;
Is there any way to just get it back to factory settings? I just want it to work that's all

Use that as a download mode screen.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

I installed the one without bootloader but still same problem with the buttons. And what do you mean that I can't follow the tutorial because it's for the I9000. I have a I9000 right?

U said u have an i897. That is a Captivate. I9000 is not the Captivate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

It says i897 on my phone but maybe that's the software I installed because I looked up the Samsung captivate on google and that's not the phone I have. I have a I9000 ( samsung galaxy S )
Maybe that's why the buttons are not working?
Any idea what to install for the i9000?
Btw 6 months ago i installed this:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-4-ics-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
And that worked all the time and that's also for the i9000?
EDIT:
I manged to install Semaphore 2.7.4 for the Samsung Galaxy S and my buttons are working now!
Any idea what the best software is to install for the Galaxy S?
Thanks for all the help so far btw I didn't thought I was able to get it running again

There's isn't a ''Best'' Software per say. It goes to user preference but I highly recommend AOKP or AoCP (Both on Jelly Bean).

Download Odin and flash semaphore or any other kernel for CM 10.0 which has its own recovery.
To make things clear recovery combo is Vol UP + Home button + powerbutton . Don't keep holding buttons for too long othwerwise you will restart device.

its a matter of releasing da combo button.juz release it as soon as u see da white sgs

Hey!
Flash .pit file from Odin(Download mod) if no luck May be you should go back all way back to stock rom then come back to your jellybeen..
Hit thanks if i helped you :highfive:

Hey, on our phone you have trouble getting into recovery if 'touch sounds' are on. I don't know if the same thing applies to the i9000, because the phones are very different.

Have I bricked my tab?

Hi hope you guys can help. I rooted my tab successfully however wham I tried to install Cwm it failed.
I am left with a screen with 3 symbols on it
1 a cellphone
2 an !
3 a PC
I can't navigate to recovery or dl mode.
I'm stuck. Thanks in advance for your help.

It is a kind of download mode.
Try flash stock ROM using Odin when you see that.
One way is using overcome method.

You're looking at a sort of download mode designed for recovery. Use either Heimdall or Odin (Heimdall much preferred these days) to flash a full stock package including PIT with repartition checked.

@imran_jasper
No problem, it is just a soft brick:
either flashing process was interrupted (moved USB cable or so)
or you've tried to flash wrong files (corrupted or incompatible)
possibly you've used an uncompatible Odin version for your device
or you simply didn't run Odin as administrator so it freezed
or Samsung Kies was running in the background and interrupted the flashing process
Just flash again proper files for your device and you will be fine. Turn it off and on again.
Use any stock ROM and PIT file if your partition was changed, otherwise just a ROM

Will give it a go. Thanks for replies.
I take it that the tab does not have to be in download mode and I can flash from the screen that I have?

Another thing I wasn't clear about in my first post:
Prepare all files in Odin first, and run your Tab into download mode just shortly before you start flashing
The reason is that many devices could kind of "asleep", fall in some kind of standby if nothing happens.
By some devices, this kind of "sleep" in download mode happens already just after 30sec (like the GT-i9000)
