[Q] [Help needed] Constant Reboot,SGS

Hi there XDAdevlopers,
I installed the Custom ROM Galaxian on my SGS i9000 2.1 update 1 ECLAIR
I ran into a litle problem, when it started rebooting, it just kept on rebooting.
I can't access the Recovery Menu nor the Download state.
The phone wont even completely start.
My specs: SGS I9000 8GB Vodafone NL 2.1 Update-1 ECLAIR
P.S. I don't ahve enough post to post this problem in the Galaxian Thread so I posted it here

- galaxian is not custom rom it is a kernel and i think it is unsafe to flash it on eclair
- youve got a bootloop because of flashing 2.3.4 kernel on 2.2.1 one
- you always can acces them just press volume down+menu+power during bootloop and hold it untill you will see the yellow triangle sign with 'working android'
proceed with
[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000: Detailed guide for n00bs

if that doesnt work mate then try this

Good Luck

If you can't get into dl or recovery mode, then you may need to bite the bullet and get a cheap SGS "download mode jigs" on eBay. That's a sure way to get into download mode each and every time.
The only thing in question is if your internal SD died, but really the only way to truly find out is to flash back with a stock ROM...

Bricked Galaxy Tab?

So I tried getting into recovery via ROM Manager, and the tab just stopped operating. Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.
So far I've tried reflashing to stock firmware with Odin via Download mode, but no luck. The thing still sits on the Samsung logo.
I don't know if this is apart of the soft-brick symptoms, but everytime I plug it in to charge, I get a white screen instead of the usual battery icon.
Please advise! I don't mind running through the steps again! Any advise would be appreciated!

first, do you own a Verizon/Sprint/Latin America?
If yes, check the files and use the correct firmware and kernel.
If you own a unlocked Galaxy Tab flash the stock gingerbread. You can find it in the download section
in overcome page (p1000.teamovercome.com)

I currently own the T-Mobile version, p1000. I just saw the teamovercome page. I'll try it again through their instructions. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the reply!!

If you can not into download mode there is a way to fix it. Download mode shows the triangle with android digging.

I think you need to flash a new kernel. The times I have been stock at samsung logo on the tab it was a kernel issue. Hopefully you can find the kernel that goes with your rom...if you can odin is your friend. You are not dead yet.

Hello,
did you get your GalTab back? I have that(?), a very similar(?) problem too... so I'm interessed in a solution...
Thanks!

[Q] note bricked - need advices

Hello,
I own a galaxy note n7000, rom ICS xxlpy, since a little bit than 1 week.
for some reason, I would like to root it, and followed this tuto :
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-les-roms-stock-ics-sans-cwm-triangle-jaune-t4995.html
it is a french traduction from a tuto found here.
anyway, after having followed each step, i obtained no error, nothing which was different from the tuto.
after a reboot, my galaxy was unable to boot.
I was blocked on the first screen : samsung galaxy note GT-N7000 black scree, text in white color.
today : I can go in recovery, I can go in download mode, but I cannot boot.
so I have decided to send it to repair. it si why I need advices :
- what is exactly the yellow triangle ? where I can see it, how I can check if I have it or not (what manipulation to do to see it ?)
- how can I test my flash counter ?
I was on ICS stock, but I don't know if the manipulation in the Tuto had increase or not the flash counter ?
when I am in download mode, I can see : custom binary download : no, current binary : samsung Official. is it enough to get warranty ?
any advice allowing me to get back my device, with the maximum luck to get it repaired would be apreciate.
thanks
Olivier

My understandings are the yellow triangle shows up on the splash screen when it says galaxy note before boot animation and it is if you has a custom kernel installed, when you go to download mode it would say you are not on samsung official and have a flash counter so if it says 0 then you have nothing to worry about.
It sounds though that your device may not be fully bricked if you can access recovery and download mode, I would try to flash chainfires cfroot kernel for your firmware so the LPY v5.5 which is on his thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
If it works it will increase you flash counter and you will see the yellow triangle on start up.

Have you tried to use PC Odin to go back to stock GB?

Hi,
- so the yellow triangle should be visible on the normal splash screen, which we can see just after having switch on the device ?
I do't have this triangle.
- no, I don't have tried to revert to GB with odin.
to be honnest, I am affraid since I have bricked ( my be soft bricked ?) my device.
it is also why I ask for advice
may be I can try to unbrick it, but what are my chance to be successfull ?
if I unbrick it, this device will bne reliable ? it is strange that following the Tutorial, with no error message, I have bricked it, after the reboot.
( I mean the bug which seem to be in the kernel or in ??? which has helped tp brick my device, will b fix with custom ? or I will be able to brick it easily again, in all case because my device is bad ?)
so many question in my head
thanks
Olivier

You could try to flash a pre rooted gb rom in pc odin. If flash goes through successfully then you should be ok but if it hangs on fctoryfs then you may have a damaged emmc and will need to send away for repair. It just sounds like you are soft bricked. I'm not sure what thread has the pre rooted gb roms but last time I flashed one there was no yellow triangle. I can not remember who at the moment but someone in the criskelo v7 ics thread has a link in his signature with instructions and all files needed.

Just go to dr ketans thread in developer section and get the stock rootable GB roms.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

Hi you are in a very similar situation in which i was in several days back. you can check out my video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH--qVK2h3g&feature=plcp
I have my Galaxy Note fully functional now. Since your flash counter is 0 and with "Official Samsung" and not seeing the yellow triangle may allow you to claim warranty. To get it fixed:
Do not try to flash any GB/ICS via odin or anything. DO NOT use CWM also.Basically DO NOT try to do anything yourself because currently you are NOT fully bricked so Samsung will be able to fix it for u under warranty. Just go to your local Samsung Service Center and tell them you had done a factory reset from Settings.(Make up a story but do not tell them tht you attempted to root it otherwise they will not repair it). Hopefully if you have warranty they should fix it. They fixed mine by replacing the motherboard because in my case it was the eMMC bug. Since your phone has similar symptoms they should also fix it for you. Hope this helps. Cheers

HELP, tried a lot of ROMS but can't flash any, the phone is unuseable

Hi All,
After searching, applying, installing a lot of ROMS, kernels, recoveries the last option I have is to ask you guys for help.
Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
SSN: I9000GSMH
I put myself into this problem after flashing hardcore-speedmod.tar kernel which was a pre-requisite to flash CM9, after that I am not able to do anything, tried a lot of stock ROMS, froyo and gingerbread.
The particular problem which I have faced everytime is when ODIN, heimdall reaches the step to write bootloaders. ODIN fails with complete (write) operation failed and heimdall returns "failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence"
What I found that might be my phone's bootloader is locked, SIM locked or network locked but not sure and everywhere I have found the posts to unlock Galaxy NEXUS.
The ROMS I have tried on which the most successfull and I was able to boot the system after flashing and using "adb" was eugene373_samsungs_froyo_pda.
The best recovery I found and was able to flash was in the XWJSD.tar.gz (heimdall package), it shows after flashing the clockworkmode and speedmod with all the options of lagfixes, tweaks etc., but doesn't allow to boot the phone normally and always boots in recovery.
The phone always shows a splash of Galaxy AnyCall, though the tag behind screams that its not M110S. First AnyCall is displayed than the Galaxy S I9000 image is shown.
Waiting for answers from everybody gone through these experiences and found the solution.
Regards

Search on google: how to fix e:can't mount. Is the first download the .tar and flash it with odin

Just to confirm are you using a .pit file and all three of the PDA, PHONE and CSC files? I've never had Odin fail to flash over any mess I made on my phone.

Don't you think this is odd? Does your phone have an antenna on the side? , check right side top corner of phone its not very visible but can be pulled up, if there is one
or has been under repairs where motherboard have been changed or something like that ?

[Q] Yellow triangle with exclamation mark

I just rooted my phone yesterday and after that, I got this annoying problem.
Every time I boot my phone, there's this yellow triangle with an exclamation mark under Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
I see nothing wrong with my phone except that it drains battery quickly. I just flashed Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean today and it's still there.
What do you guys think is wrong with my phone? Did I somehow rooted it differently?
Be nice, I'm kind of new with rooting and flashing roms.

Ok, this has been covered here many times. Samsung has built a binary counter on their devices to detect unofficial software flashed. That is why, you have to flash via mobile Odin and root with Philz Kernel on stock recovery to avoid that.
Now, you can use a jig to remove the yellow triangle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
If you don't have a jig, then you can use this app by chainfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

OTA Update will not fix the problem...
That means you root your phone with a custom firmware...
You have to use Triangle Away by Chainfire.It removes Custom Binary and sets firmware to Official so you don't have the triangle sex with you every time you boot up your phone
