[Q] What have i done? medium brick? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA, i'm having problems with my SGS.
the case is, i accidently formated "/boot" and now i cannot boot into recovery, only download mod and i can't flash stock via DM, it gives me this error: <ID:0/008> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
is it possibole to retrive my phone without JIG?

The only thing a jig does is enter download mode. Not sure what DM is, but have you tried flashing with ODIN?

Put phone into download mode and flash a stock ROM with Odin from samfirmware.com these stock ROMs contain the secondary bootloader the you erased. You will be fine after that.

How can I recover my SGS ?

I flashed some wrong files on to my SGS, the phone wouldn't boot up, and worst off all I couldn't deactivate the OCLagFix.
I now only have acces to the Download mode, please help me to fix this problem!
I would like to know if I could go ahead and flash a ROM without the update.zip method, because I don't have acces to the internal SD card.
Thanx in advance!

Do you have a link to JP7? It's what I'm running now but in case something goes wrong at least I can re-flash. Thank you so much!
I always download my roms from samfirmware, have a look on there.

if I'd wanna do it, directly, i flash my phone from the top... in fact, i've had to do it some times...
Yes you can, I already did too.
Flash the phone directly with Odin:
http://www.faq4mobiles.de/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=9026
and choose one of this firmware:
http://www.samfirmware.com/fwandroid.htm
You need be register there to download and after you find all official firmware and how you flash too.
Ok.. Thanks guys... Will try it on weekday and post the result ...

[Q] Can I flash efs backup with ODIN?

Hi people!
My phone is bricked and I found a backup of my efs (efs.rfs), but I can't flash because I only get crash in ODIN.
What can I do? What's wrong with ODIN?
Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi
Have you done a nandroid backup? And also can you access to CWM? If yes try to erase everything.
And for odin do you used download mode? Try to unzip the stock rom and put it correctly in program then use download mode, connect your phone and let's start till it finish.
If everything don't work, go to S.A.V and say you don't know what happen'd to your if your warranty is safe.

No, I didn't done a nandroid backup.
It's just flickering when I boot up and when I access CWM.
Yes, I used download mode.
Do I need a special archiving mode for ODIN?
Go to cwm, wipe everything and then flash a new rom like dreamw or another rom. And then when flash is finish wipe everything again.

I can't access Recovery Mode/CWM. It's flickering the screen. What can I do it's just access Download Mode. There's a chance to make phone work if I flash my original stock firmware (but I can't find on the internet firmware stock from Orange Romania, Froyo version, that version which came with the phone).
Then flash a stock firmware this is the most simple for save your phone

I repeat: I can't find my original stock firmware from Orange Romania. Nobody leaked it...
I tried some "miraculous" firmwares which worked from some users, but I think that firmwares was the original ones which came with those phones.
Contact this user.
U are not clear, if ur phone is bricked nothing can be done.
Of course they are not 100% original firmwares but they work and that is all that is needed.
As u can access download mode just flash a GB stock firmware.

I installed "Galaxy Ace Unlock".
The screen is flickering when I start the phone and when I access CWM/Recovery Mode.
Only thing what works is Download Mode (without flickering).
ODIN just crashes (Galaxy Ace Unlock made a backup, but that backup cannot be flashed in ODIN, at least in my case) when I try to flash EFS.
Maybe ODIN doesn't support of flashing EFS backup in GT-S5570... Can anybody confirm that I'm wrong?
Galaxy ace unlock? Did i miss something? I tought you cant flash ace things on mini. However, i got the stock rom here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx83r9p30zqxd6r

This is a tutorial i helped someone else with:
I think you already got the files, in case not download them again.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.
You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.
domini99, tried already to do that. Without success

domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.
If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means?
Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin

[Q] Boot loops at random on power on, downgrade doesn't fix

Hello everyone,
I've got an Australian vodafone GT-i9000 which i bought that was having issues boot looping on power on. Sometimes it can boot loop for 20 seconds (looping at the Samsung screen, not the S screen) while others it can boot loop for 20 minutes before powering on.
I've tried flashing with ODIN using the 512 pit to numerous stock versions, most recently this : GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl (stock vodafone AU rom). The flash goes fine, however if I select format with the 512 PIT I can get the following message after the reboot:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkop2
Even if this message doesn't come up on flash, The phone keeps boot looping. Once started, the phone seems to work fine detecting internal & SD memory. I want a more permanent fix however, because if I was planning on giving it to a friend and 'leaving the phone boot looping until it starts' is probably too hard for them to understand. Also I'm not sure if there's an issue with the internalSD which is causing the problem, and if it is, it could cause further issues on more harder use.
Anyone had this sort of issue? The phone was flashed with ICS when the guy sent it to me, he said the bootloops started after he upgraded to ICS. I've got a 32gb SD- tried removing before flash and having it in while flash with no success (have seen a guide for installing on external SD for the i9000m- however it looks like you can only do this if the media device has completely failed). It seems to boot every time using a bootloader kernal (cant remember the name, ICE something from memory) into the recovery software- so maybe a busted sector on the internal SD?
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Dylan
Maybe try going into cwm wipe internal same card memory, remove external as card, put into download mode and flash with Odin using pit and repetition checked, if you get the devblock error flash this is PDA without repetition checked and without pit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140

Bit of a problem with that matey, Kies says the phone does not support firmware updates through KEIS and the rom i've been flashing with KEIS is the full standard rom from Vodafone- includes CSC, PDA and phone files. from memory the PDA file contains the standard bootloader yeah?
Look at this
Take a Firmware with the red SBL ending, thats with bootloader, flash it in download mode via odin and the problem should and must be solved through this !!
btw: i recommend to flash a JW5 version.. please tell us if this worked !

GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl is the firmware i'm using, so no good with the boot loader
I'll try a JW5 version as suggested .

You'll have to identify the bad partition and then manualy rebuild the partition table with ADB.
You'll lose up to 3gb of space and stock roms will probably not work anymore without fc's. Cm based roms usually work best after emmc brick revival.

My phone was bricked.
And I use hg42 revival method.
Simply go into download mode.
Use odin pc to flash stock rom (gingerbread preferred).
And....
Choose the pit from hg42, tick repartition.
Flash.
Voila. It is up alrd with a lost of 3gb. But I didn't care since I have ext sd.
PS:
It will be good if u know how to identify the bad block first. So u can choose the correct pit file to do repartition of ur device.
And.... u better charge ur battery first, no matter how r u goin to do it. I m sure u don't want to get worst while flash with odin pc, and ur battery dead.

Check md5 sum of downloaded file...
I think it's the download of the file.
than try this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
After that try to flash PhilZ kernel (look for .tar file in Philz thread and flash via ODIN-i don't preffer ODIN but since u got nothing else u have to flash via ODIN PhilZ kernel) and some custom TW JB ROM from CWM that comes with PhilZ kernel.
So everything should be working or?

You have to do it manualy with your brain and your hands.
With ADB you can check each partitions to find the one faultly and then create new one.
you will loose space on mass storage (UMS partition) but your phone will work.
So are you still on stock recovery? After flashing PIT you need to format emmc, data, cache and system before flashing new ROM with Odin. You need custom kernel for that.
Also, did you do factory reset with CWM.zip before you bricked?

its because he has bricked the phone and no access to recovery currently. also Odin (PC/Mobile) is the only way to get back a stock official rom
