[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me

Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...

Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.

I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.

Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

Sorry, your advice didn't work, Odin still doesn't detect the phone

Try to change the USB port and install ONLY the phone driver -if you don't find you can contact me.

I don't understand, your download mode works?
Sent from my Galaxy S with ICS 4.0.4 (Italy)

he said download mode works but odin cant detect the phone .
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .

Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem

Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..

Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
6)Flash firmware
7)Enjoy

I tried your method but heimdall says that it can not find a connected download-mode device. My device is in download mode, i put it in this mode with JIG

Hi, excuse my for my stupid question,
there are problem in flashing with non original Samsung USB cable? Isn't it the same with any Micro USB adapter??

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!

No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

Can you try to make the operation on another computer?-install usb driver first...

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem. Now i get a mobile network error, with one carrier it works and with another it does not. The mobile network detected is always really low.

well, have you made any changes to it? if odin does not find it in download mode, try to reinstall the usb drivers for your samsung on the computer. and, if you have a desktop computer and you plugged the usb in one of the front usb ports, try to plug it in one of the usb ports from the back...

[Q] S-5830L not recognized by PC

I'm trying to connect my S-5830L to my PC, and when I do, the phone charges, but there is no option to access mass storage.
It's recognized in Kies, I even update the phone with it, and a hidden removable disk appears when I connect the phone, yet I still can't access the storage.
I tried installing both the driving independently and via Kies.
There is no notification about it in the phone, and I have USB debugging turned on, and I also tried with it off
Anyone knows what I could be doing wrong?

Was the USB Mass Storage working earlier in your PC? What rom do you use? Is your phone rooted?

No, a guy I know passed me this phone, and I haven't be able to use the mass storage since the beginning. It's using stock (in fact, I just updated it via Kies), I have never tweaked it before. And no, it seems it isn't rooted.

Go to Recovery Mod and do a "Wipe Data/ Factory Reset" & "Wipe Cache Partition". That should pretty much solve the issue. But if the issue still exists, try flashing the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares,
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
Once installed, go to Recovery Mod and do a "Wipe Data/ Factory Reset" & "Wipe Cache Partition" (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

Do post your results. Hope I Helped

It appears I'll have to flash the stock rom, since wiping the data and cache didn't work.
But does it matter which version of ODIN I use?
The one I'm supposed to use doesn't recognize the phone, but the one I used for the Galaxy S4 and S2 do recognize the phone.

might be problem with your samsung mobile driver on your pc.
I have faced same problem.
connect your mobile to pc right click on my computer icon go to manage-device manger
check whether driver is working if not try to reinstall it

I completely agree with @amtdwan. It's most probably the drivers that's causing the problem. Updating/ reinstalling it will solve it

I removed the ones that Windows install automatically, and reinstalled the Kies ones, but each time I connect the phone to my PC, Windows install the drivers again.
Is that a problem?
Also, the USB utilities setting is greyed out. And I can't seem to open the file explorer with Kies, it says "drive not valid".

Each device has its own odin. For Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, the most stable odin is S5830 Odin Multi Downloader v4.38. You can find this in the link mentioned previously. I will provide the same the link again. Go to the "Preparation" section where you will find all the necessary downloads including the drivers.

So does "Turn on USB Storage" pop up now in your phone when you connect it to PC? Did you use the firmware from the site I mentioned? This problem could be caused if you have a faulty firmware. Also make sure you have a working sdcard. Sometimes faulty sdcard also cause such errors. Last but no the least, you can use the USBMassStorage app I developed. For it to work, you need a rooted phone. I'll provide you all the necessary link. Don't forget to read all the guidelines before using the app.

[Q] Tab not recognized by PC/Odin

Hi everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT - P1000) that I rooted about a year ago. I've installed the 4.4.2 KitKat ROM (CyanogenMod 11) using CWM Recovery, and I now want to reinstall Gingerbread on the tab (due to performance issues).
The problem is, my PC (HP EliteBook 8460p, Win7) gives a 'USB Device Not Recognized' error in all the USB ports I connect the tab to. I've tried connecting it to a different computer, with the same results. I've used Odin to flash the stock Gingerbread ROM onto the tab before, but now Odin simply won't detect the tab when it's connected to the PC (ID:COM port does not turn yellow). I tried Mobile Odin, but it put up the error 'Unexpected Partition Layout, cannot operate'.
I've searched numerous places, but cannot find a ZIP version of the stock ROM (or any custom ROM close to it) that I could flash with CWM; the only option seems to be Odin, which is not working.
So how do I get back to the original Gingerbread ROM?
Thanks in advance.
