[Q] i9000 tried to flash CM9...kinda fsck'ed

[email protected],
after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!

Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin

Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.
w w w.theandroidsoul.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/
After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]

Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9

[Q] I have bricked my I9000?

Hi,
I have a I9000BVJP4 (FROYO.BVJS4) phone bought in 2011 from Orange in the UK. I was trying to root the bastard to get Jelly Bean on it. I coulddnàt get 4zroot to root it, neither Once Click root method (earlier would not reboot the phone and Titanium said it wasn't rooted anyway and the second just said "failed" when it got to the end of the process).
So I decided to use the CF root method. I downloaded the various cf kernels here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 as I thought I needed to match the JS bit. So I tried JS3 which looped on intial screen the first time. JS5 and JS7 just hang on the first screen. Clearly I can get ODIN 3.07 to upload these kernels so I can get the phone to switch to download mode. THe problem is that it hangs and never boot.
I'm a bit of newbie with this stuff but I understand that as long as i can get into download mode I haven't bricked the beast. THe problem is that I donàt know how to out of this situation. I bet it's just a question of finding the right kernel and uploading with ODIN. Any suggestions? I presume the phone is still unrooted (or maybe not now that I have all these kernels uploaded through ODIN?)
Your help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks
Antonio

Mate,
cheers for this although the XXJVU ROM you suggested didn't work. I decided to give the XXJVT version a go which I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and I tell you this rocks. I've finally got rotation working again and have got rid of all the crap that Orange installed.
Do you know if Jelly Bean works on the I9000 and how it performs? Is it worth installing on such an "old" device? BTW, I used the same pit file you attached. That did work. Thanks again.

No problem ever . yep, Jellybean works , infact it rocks ! . the stock gingerbread firmware is crap if compared with jellybean . I use cm 10.1 Android 4.2.2 makes my phone butter smooth doesn't matter its quite old though but works like a charm. did you root your phone ? using semaphore kernel ? you have to root it first to install jellybean for XXJVT , here's the link for the kernel :-
http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.9.1.tar
flash it the way i told you , you have to select it in the PDA file option in Odin. hope it works for you now .

Samsung Galaxy Note Stuck on Splash Image/Boot Image

My mom's Samsung Galaxy Note is currently stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen. Tried removing the battery and reinsert then turned it on same problem.
Also I am unable to access the recovery I remembered that I have philz kernel installed on the unit. And im only able to access the download mode.
Also when I flashed the stock roms that I have stored on my computer specifically GB roms it shows that it was successful but when the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the same screen. Not willing to do any more steps as im really out of ideas here. Hope you can help.
BTW my mom is only using the phone for standard use meaning call and text and a few game words like crossword and some solitaire games. And sh said that the phone just turned off then thinking it was due to low battery she charged it then when the battery shows 100% full she disconnected the phone and tried to turn it on that is when the problem occured.
Here is the screenshot of odin. And im a bit concerned about the line where it says "RQT_CLOSE!!!" I don't know what that means.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/707/24063870.jpg
Some more useful information, the phone was on Jelly Bean Stocked Jelly Bean with custom kernel I forgot if it was Philz or speedmod. Phone is already out of its warranty.

Stuck on the Gt-N7000 screen? It doesn't go into bootloop when you flash the stock GB ROM ? Can you access the stock Android recovery? Remove battery, put it in and then try to access the recovery using the same the button combo used for custom recoveries.
The Odin flash went perfectly, nothing wrong with it.

Friend of mine is having the same issue, flashing to stock UK Jellybean.

Same issue
I'm actually having the same issue as the OP I'm bookmarking this as I am looking for a fix I flashed the Vodafone rom for the united kingdom and am now stuck on the bootscreen for all samsung devices.

Try booting into recovery and reinstalling one of your backups if you can - usually works for me. Clean all caches etc first though.
PC Odin may take a couple of attempts to flash it correctly I've found when I'm trying to repair a major stuff up.

Not working even though flashing stock gb/ics/jb and custom kernels and unable to access recovery only downliad mode. Was trying to use the pif file is it safe I mean it was said to use it as the last option.

You may, but follow the given instructions very carefully. Yes, it is a last option.

Will do the pit procedure. Thanks. Will post back and update you guys on the redults

Have you tried flashing a kernel through Odin PC and then booting into recovery use one of philz .tar files for the kernel and see if you can get in to recovery sounds like you have lost recovery. This has happened to me and I fixed with philz kernel through PC Odin good luck and also you may need to do a full wipe after flashing a ROM through PC Odin to get it to boot
sent from the darkness

Yup already performed that but stuck on logo snd cant access cwm recovery.
Got mine fixed by doing this procedure which is really weird. Flashed pit with stock gb rom then once finished im still stuck in splash screen decided to flashed ics with pit same results then i flashed jb rom using pc odin with pit after a few minutes i was able to access the menus and all those icons. But the apps and games installed are still on the device which should have been removed when i flashed stock rom.
Flashed philz kernel via mobile odin and wiped factory data and it seems device is working now. Still under observation though.

you are flashing a non wipe rom so the apps will still be there

Download JB firmware for you phone and install it with Odin, like you did that kernel. That kernel is for Gingerbread, that's why you get that problem. It will be fixed. Btw we do not have Odin flashable kernel with TWRP, that's how I know it was for GB. New time download CoCore for JB and unpack it. Use kernel.bin.md5 to install it with Univeral kernel flash app and some root explorer. You need to root it first with Shaaan's method.

Rooting failure

Please help,
I was trying to root my Samsung galaxy note gt-i9220, I followed the video instructions from rootgalaxynote.com, I used the CWM.Zip, CWM-supers-v0.87.zip and after I installed the franco kernel-r5.zip
PROBLEM: after installing the franco kernel when I restarted the system my note comes on and shows Galaxy Note GT-I9220 and after that I have a black screen.
What can I do to get back the original state, it seems I can not handle rooting it. However it can get to the download mode when I place the volume up+power+home burton.
NB: I did not use a computer while doing this neither did I backup any thing

What rom where you on before installing the new kernel?

As far as i remember there is no franco kernel for jb 4.1.2. That's why your phone cannot boot.
The worst is flash back a stock rom unless you remember your firmware version then you can flash philz kernel

Ok, thanks for the help so far, I have been reading different threads about the stock rom and philz kernel,
I could not identify my stock rom, am wondering could you be knowing stock rom for the gt-i9220 if yes, please pass me the link where I can download it.
I wanted to try out that n if it does not help I can go for philz kernel.

try flashing any of the JB version of Philz kernel like DDLSC using recovery of franco kernel. You should be able to get into CWM recovery,

I guess ma problems are too many, after downloading philz kernel and transferring it to an external memory card, I cannot get into the recovery mode which I were able to get to 2 days back.
I did not do anything else from the day I was trying to root and things back fired, I thought the battery had been used up but even after charging I get nothing apart from the phone being warm, when I insert the charger all I see is a battery with a circle that flashes and disappears, flashes and disappears.
Any ideas or this marks the end of this gadget

Download mode? If yes then you can flash a rom using Odin or flash Philz kernel also using Odin.. If no.., you may need to try a charged battery.

I guess I have to look for a charged battery, odin cannot read the phone, however I would like to know when I unzip philz kernel folder, there are other files and I understand odin(never used it before) has options like partition,auto reboot, F.time, Boot loader,PDA, phone, csc
I need to know which ones should I select, and if am using PDA which file from extracted philz kernel do I select.

For flashing Philz kernel using odin you need to use .tar file instead of .zip file. Also no need to extract anything from .tar file. Leave everything in odin as it is and put the .tar file in PDA section, if at all odin can detect your phone. remember, this needs to be performed in download mode.

Thanx so much man, thanks a bunch, I can say the phone is up and running, however, everything is in Chinese, I do not Chinese, I cannot tell what the words mean, but all I know the philz kernel procedure using odin has worked.
now I need help to change the language, did I download the wrong kernel,
this is what I used: PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-4.93.6.tar,md5
Another problem I have observed, when you switch on the device it brings a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle

Do you mean everything is in chinese in recovery or it boots up to home screen and there everything is chinese? You can leave the yellow triangle alone, first get it working once it does you can use triangle away app from xda or play store to remove it.

What I meant, the phone boots up to home screen but everything was in Chinese, however, I managed to change the language to English, now the phone is working I can receive and make calls,browse, I have the supersu icon (I do not know what it does) on my home screen and some icons are in Chinese, I still don't have play store, and I still have the yellow triangle.
Below are my phone details now:
model nmbr: GT-N7000
android version:4.1.2
baseband: I92220ZCLSG
KERNAL VERSION: 3.0.31-906407

I think the Chinese version didn't have playstore and all. You may need to flash a rom of n7000 to get all the access..
