[Q] No root recovery aymore - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat

But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

I think that CW did an update and pushed it out to devices or something. I am having the same situation as you, I am unable to grab the device into CWR.

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Ok ill check that out. I'll let you know.

Well I tried and nothing. It says that it passed and that odin did its thing but it didn't.
Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Well I think it should be a clean install and if I connect my phone in download mode to the pc I haven't access to the internal storage!
Did you do it like it is supposed in this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505
By the way are you on a stock rom or not?

Yes, it's important to tell are you on stock or custom Rom

Sorry for my late answer!
stock I think. This is every info I have on the phone:
About phone:
Firmware: 2.3.5
baseband: i9001xxkpf
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #1
build: gingerbread.xxkpg
when I do *#1234#:
pda: i9001xxkpg
phone: i9001xxkpf
csc: i9001xenkp1
That's it...

Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??

Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?

I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?

So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

Retrieving data from phone memory of a screen-broken handset

Hi,
I should update my question:
Is it possible to access a Galaxy S i9000's internal sd (e.g. with ADB or an Android manager) without debugging enabled?
My screen is broken (can't see anything, not responding to touch I think, I can hear texts coming through but can't access them) and debugging is disabled but I need to get the data out.
'
Apparently ADB works straight up if the phone is in recovery mode. I've tried a lot of "blind" recovery mode attempts, but no go. ADB still doesn't recognise the device.
Other users have had this problem but they either a) had debugging enabled, or b) their touch works or can see a portion of the screen. Mine is neither.
adb?

Tried adb using Droidzone's tutorial, but I can't enable usb debugging on my phone cause the screen is completely out of action.
It doesn't explicitly state this in the tutorial, but I gather debugging has to be on for adb to work, no?
is my handset a paperweight?
Sure not,acces the recovery(everything with blind mode on and mount your sd card and internal sd card. It can be done,recovery doesnt need any touch to work. I cant give you direct instructions right now but maybe some others can help you with those clicky things. What recovery you got?

Man, I'm not sure what recovery I got. I flashed Darky ROM into my phone a while ago so I believe I have CWM. When I say blind I just mean trying to get into recovery without looking at the screen. It doesn't help that for my handset, some people say volume up and others say volume down. It's a big pain. I've done it before but I can't remember the key combo.
The only other thing I'm not sure about is the environment variable for ADB. I got it as PATH under User Variables and as Path under System Variables just to make sure. I think that's right.

Getting 'error: device not found' on that one buddy.
Added the environment variable > Plugged the phone in (turned on) > started AndroPlatina > 5. Recovery Tools > 4. Reboot to Recovery > device not found
Will keep at it.
Ok if any methods above didnt work the blind recovery may be the last one. I just need the version of your recovery or just a version of darky rom so i can check the CWM. Trust me it can work sorry for my bad english im from east europe.
The COMBO for recovery is vol UP+home+power for a few seconds(maybe 3 or 4)

If recovery mode auto-enables debugging then theoretically I should be able to view everything on my phone (texts, contacts, data etc) with an Android manager cause all an Android manager requires is that the phone be in debugging mode.
CWM has adb enabled. Try using Nexus S drivers straight from Google. Have you got a plan for how to extract the data once you adb in? Data isn't mounted in recovery by default. You can use the mount command, if you need details I'll add them in another post.

adb pull
What will the Nexus S drivers do?
So as long as adb isn't finding my device, I can rightly assume that I'm simply not in recovery mode. Maybe I am in recovery mode and something else is at fault, like with the adb installation. Could the environment variables be causing anything?
The ideal outcome would be to turn debugging on with adb so I can view the phone's contents using an Android manager. That way, I can get out the data, as well as read the texts that have been coming through. Don't know if this is possible though.
This is still the best I can get. I'm sick of seeing it.

Update: adb works fine on my GS3 in recovery mode (with debugging turned off in settings) but not on my GS for some reason.
Check device manager on the computer. Is your phone showing up there at all? What about if you reboot into download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
^ Not showing up in device manager (GS3 shows up fine). Download mode same thing - I can attempt it blind but since I can't see the screen I don't know if I'm download mode - regardless, still nothing in device manager or adb.
I can manage to boot it up (I hear the intro). I can also hear the usb sound on my pc when I plug it in. But then I have to do 2 things with no screen a) do my security pattern, and b) tap 'mass storage mode'. Sounds easy but I've tried it many times and can't nail it.

Help! 4x hd CWM bootloop error! Flashed wrong CWM.

Hello I have an unlocked Lg optimus 4x hd software version 4.1.2 JB. I recently successfully rooted it but CWM said there wasn't one available for my phone on the rom manager app so i found one. I would post a direct link to it but apparently im not allowed to yet.
I realised that this was realised almost a year ago after the fact, this probably is what messed my phone up.
I installed it and ran it, when my phone rebooted it was stuck in a boot-loop. I can still access the default android recovery screen and I tried hard resets and clearing the caches but I'm still stuck on the LG logo. My computer still says that its installing drivers when i plug the phone in but it won't let me do any thing. I have looked around the forums and the solutions i found aren't helping me. Any help would be appreciated.

great it looks like im nearly there but where you saw three ports active and one actually downloading i only saw one active but it wasn't downloading, i feel as if though it could work i just need a little more help. Sorry if this is wasting your time...
simple, run windows enabler to ON, connect phone in S/W mode, go to device manager -- modems --- LG xxxxx *13 ... and the number is the port ... for me i have 13 port selected .. or you can try one by one ... if one fail ( RED --- FAIL TO OPEN) then try another ...

Ive had the phone plugged in many times and all drivers installed. When I plug it in now, my PC makes that noise that something is connected, but I don't get any prompts to install drivers or notifications that a device is connected.
If I try to boot, it just stays on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen and goes no further

no I haven't. What is ADB?
Are you trying to get into recovery (Power/vol down)?? If you can't get into that you need to use fastboot (ADB) to reflash recovery so you can access your internal. I'm guessing you know how to do this since you already had it. If not, lemme know. I can try and give step by step to get it back.

Ok, I gotcha now. Sounds like the drivers aren't working between the phone & PC.
Goto HTC and download HTC Sync, sorry can't cause I don't have enough posts to show link.
Leave phone disconnected and let it install. Then try again. Report back.
Kinda a novice here but you did say you formatted the SD so I would ask how? But more importantly to what file format? fat32?
Not even sure what it is supposed to be but in trouble shooting this I would make sure the SD is formatted correctly. Just saying...and sorry for butting in here.

There is a format option through TWRP (wipe/format data) that formats EVERYTHING. So whatever TWRP formats it as is what it is.

At the momment only CWM works and it rarley even works not to mention aroma installer SUCKS ****ING BALLS the 50th time I sideflash a rom and the phone restarts when the installer reaches 10%!
Unfortunately I don't know as in CWM, in TWRP there is such feature as ADB sideload , by means of it you will be able to load and flash the file saved on PC to phone.
And second one, you can connect your flash card with OTG-cable to phone.

dont worry, if you have a nandroid everything can be fixed.
First you need to check if your computer recognizes your phone, go into recovery, and then in command on your computer type "adb devices" and see if it shows your phone. If it does, youre fine and you just need to "adb push (nandroid name) /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/(nandroidname) and then you can flash it.
If it doesnt see your device, read on.
The reason your computer doesnt read your phone is normally a drivers issues. Heres what you can do to get your computer to notice your phone.
download the file from here and extract the whole FOLDER to your desktop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
1. boot into recovery
2. connect your phone to the computer
3. go to device manager, just search for it
4. In other devices, there should be something called android phone, open it, and choose update drivers
5. instead of letting the computer search for the drivers, choose the second option to choose your own
6. choose the folder, the whole folder, and your driver, and click install
Now your phone should be recognized by your computer, and you can go ahead and push the nandroid to your phone.

Null rom flashing failed

Someone please help me get this null rom on my gear!
I didn't root, the guide says it is not necessary.
I got twrp on the gear with odin, saved null rom to sd card with wondershare.
Unlike the video guide I watched, my watch will not work with wondershare when in download mode, it needs to be booted on.
When trying to install null rom with twrp, it tries a little and fail.
I have the newest stock firmware on the gear, na6, can this be the cause of the problem and I should downgrade to mk7?
Thanks
I just updated mine yesterday to mk7 through Keis. Did root, twrp, then transfer null rom with wonder share. Then installed rom with no problem. I believe I read a Guide, saying root first with cydia impactor before twrp.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
You sure it's mk7? I think the most current is na6
I'm sorry you are right. It is NA6. It still worked fine for me... try the root method
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Well I am about to give up...
Restart the whole process by first flashing the stock na6 rom
Rooted with impactor and installed supersu (all appears to be ok)
Flashed twrp with odin
Here is maybe where I go wrong... The guide says to reboot directly in recovery, I cannot reboot directly in recovery, I can only first reboot normally and then reboot again in recovery. Even if I could I cannot copy the null rom without first booting the device normally.
Were you able to copy the null rom zip right after flashing twrp, while still in download mode?
Sorry I got it. Had 3mb missing on the null rom zip even though windows showed complete
Getting Download mode after rebooting _null27
After _niull 27 installation gear is going to download mode. I want to push _null23 to my gear and install it through recovery. How can I achieve this? When I typed "adb devices" in minimalADB and Fast boot it shows no devices. Please help.

To get any device to show up using ADB you need to enable USB debugging and have all drivers, etc, installed properly. Go to settings>gear info>about gear then tap 'software version' multiple times until it says you're a developer or whatever it says, then go back a page and enable the new 'USB debug' option that will have appeared. Plug it in via usb and install the proper drivers.

First of all thanks a lot for spending your valuable time to write this reply. Here my problem is my gear is not booting in. While installing null27, I erased my old kernel. Now while switching my gear on, the device is going to download mode. I can enable USB debugging only if my gear allows me to boot in.
If anyone knows to fix this issue please help me.

If you can get to download mode, flash a stock android firmware using odin. Like this one. http://www.mediafire.com/?c3r6mmx83e48dh8
Then start installing null rom from step 1.

Thanks alot sir.. It worked. I have installed NeatRom 4.4.4 in S3 and null23 in my gear. Now I am able to connect my phone to gear. But some of the apps are not working. (For eg:1. If i take a pic in my gear I am not able to transfer it to S3 using transfer option in gear, 2. Contacts are loading in gear). Is there any way to get these features back?
Once again a big thanks to xda-developers team.. You people are amazing.. Cheers!!
