[Q] In need of desperate help

Hi!
After showing my mate my desire which has been rooted he asked me if id do his Galaxy S.
after following the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
I rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop. It stays at the Samsung Galaxy S screen and doesnt go any further!
Ive had to take his phone home to fix it!
Can you offer any advice on how to get it going again?
Thanks in advance,
Andy!.

delete cache and dalvik from home+power+volume up.
should boot fine after that.

Thanks, Yeah ive tried that still stays at Galaxy S screen forever....

Download Odin and an apropriate flashfile and flash the phone.
Before you start take out the sim card and memory card.
Every info on how to flash via Odin is in this forum, just search.
After that root your friends phone.
I've atached the files for rooting only on Eclair 2.1.

ok I really am ****ting myself now!! I downloaded odin and flashed it with
[ROM] Tayutama Edition v1.1 [I9000XWJM8] 17/9/2010
Now im stuck at an AT&T boot loop!!!!
Have I flashed a wrong file??? have a bricked it??

did you odin jm8 before flashing tayutamas rom? tayutama rom is a mod, it depends on jm8 and can not be flashed with odin but needs to be installed via update.zip through recovery console

Did you flash Tayutama's ROM using Odin? Or did you use the update.zip method?
Well, here's all the steps you need to follow in detail:
1) Flash JM8 using Odin (follow flashing guide from Richtofen's thread).
2) Download Tayutama's JM8 ROM, rename the zip file to "update.zip" and put it on /sdcard. So it looks like /sdcard/update.zip. Turn off the phone. Get into recovery mode (volume up + home + power). Choose the option "Apply from sdcard: update.zip" or whatever. (NOTE: Don't flash this using Odin).
That's it. BTW, you lost all data on your mate's phone when you flashed JM8 onto it. Hope he isn't too mad.

Why not? You were able to do it before right? What happens if you try now?
EDIT: Wait, is it the international version of the Galaxy S (I9000) or the AT&T Vibrant (T959) AT&T Captivate I897?

Hold on just for a little while longer.
As long as the phone goes into recovery you havn't bricked it yet.
Go here and register and download a stock (non moded) firmware:
samfirmware.com
I recomend XXJM1 as that was the most stable for me until now, but other will do.
First wipe cache and format phone.
Then flash the stock firmware with repartition checked with Odin.
Then root the phone.
I've attached Odin and a text file explaining where to put each file.
Good luck.

I Can't get into recovery mode, the 3 button trick doesn't work. Im just stuck at the At&t screen, goes black and then back the at&t.
I think It's buggered.
It's a UK orange i9000 Samsung galaxy S.

Why is there a AT&T screen on a UK Orange I9000?
The 3-button trick has never worked on that phone or stopped working after the bad flashes? (coz I read in one of your posts that you tried getting into recovery mode and deleting cache/data?)

Yes the 3 button thing did work before just not now.
I didn't know it was at&t until I had flashes it, I just downloaded it from the development section.

I still cant figure out what you did wrong

did you flash a vibrant rom? i think there was a guy having the same problem some time ago here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782920

Please try all of these in the same order and see if anything gets the phone into Download Mode successfully.
Start with the phone turned off (remove and insert battery if necessary)
Method 1:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) While still holding down both the volume buttons, press and hold the power button.
Method 2:
a) Hold down vol up + vol down.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down both the volume buttons.
Method 3:
a) Hold down only the vol down button.
b) Plug in the USB cable to your computer while still holding down the vol down button.
Don't even touch the power button in methods 2 and 3.
EDIT: Make sure the drivers are installed in the computer first. If you don't have the drivers, installing Kies would automatically install the required drivers for you. While trying these methods (connecting USB cable to computer), though, make sure Kies is completely closed (even from the system tray) and keep Odin open.

Hi Thanks for the info. Tried all your ideas and still nothing. My pc isn't recognising the phone anymore.

Something really gone wrong for me here and have a feeling I have a brick.
1. Flashed ROCKET ROM-V19-XXLA4 from external sd using CWM.
2. Flash was confirmed rebooted.
3. Got Bootloop (Rocket Logo)
4. Could boot into download mode but PC not seeing device.
5. Removed battery for over 1 min.
6. Still no difference, the device just cant be seen. Even after reinstalling the drivers. via Kies trouble shooting.
Anyone have any ideas??

I had the same problem today, but it worked when i did this:
- Volume down + Home + Power
- Do not press continue yet
- Open Odin
- Connect it to the computer
- Choose Continue on the Note
Now the computer should install two new drivers (modem and another one), and then the phone will pop up on the computer.

Odin is seeing :- 0:[COM4]
Thanks so much really thought I'd bricked it. Forgot all about Odin A Beer and a thanks to you both.
Just a note, not sure what went wrong but I had to flash a full stock ROM including the Modem, Code and Multi to get it working again.

Restarting problem

Hello,my Samsung galaxy s is restarting constantly it started today after my phone frozen and I took out the battery after it booted it just showed Samsung logo and then goes to devil kernel logo after that just stays there and wont boot up and then restarts.I tried getting into recovery mode but it doesn't want to,only download mode works but phone doesn't get recognized by PC so cant do anything.
EDIT
When I charge the phone battery icon isn't showing like its charging it just shows empty battery and spinning indicator is frozen.

Seems like you have overclocked your phone too much or undervolted too much. What you need to do is go to cwm recovery and install a different kernel and see if it works.

Not yet going to try that later today.

To flash a kernel put your galaxy into download mode, connect via cable to pc, start odin, select in PDA a *.tar file and flash!
here you can download semaphore kernel for ICS Roms:
http://www.semaphore.gr/downloads/gt-i9000-ics
good luck!

Odin fixed the restarting problem,but now when i get in recovery mode its giving unknown volume and cant mount sd card error so is there anyway to install rom via odin?

LOL man just go find a firmware on sammobile.com (find JVK one) download it, put the phone into download mode, connect to odin. Put the biggest file thats in the firmware zip as PDA, CSC in csc ect. Tick "repatriation" "f reset time" and flash it. Then root it via CF-Root. (Find it on XDA - i hope you're able to do that) then itll all be good

[Q] Fix Soft Brick Phone?

Hi, I tried flashing a kernel to my phone, but I forgot to make a nandroid. (Doh!) Now my phone just gets stuck at a screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G" I don't know how to fix. I tried Odin but it gets stuck at setup connection. (Even with drivers and in download mode and all.) Please help me!

Have you tried other USB ports or another computer? Also, try and get into recovery and just flash a new ROM. Always the easiest. Especially since you can mount USB storage in recovery and move zip files to the SD card that way. Hope that helps.

Easiest way to do it is, download rom and gapps on your computer. Shut down your phone, take off the battery and connect the USB cable from your computer to the phone. Then while pressing on volume up key, insert back the battery. In recovery, Mount USB and copy rom and gapps then unmount and flash. If for some reason you can't Mount USB, just take out the external one and using an adapter connect it to your computer and copy the files

[Q] zenfone 4 a450cg is stuck on logo

hey my phone is stucked on logo and when i try flashing it via external SD card it gives error
Cant open/ chache/asus-bundle.zip(bad E:unable to copy multi-media package.please try again
what to do????

There would be an option in the recovery to check the zip files.. Pls check that..

I made the same mistake on my zenfone 6. Unfortunately it is not possible to update the phone via SD card (external) you have to put the update file in the root of the internal memory and then update it. Currently you should be on a screen which says at the bottom that update failed and at the top there should be 3 or 4 options I believe, one option says to restart update another should say reboot phone another should say something about ADB and the last one should say wipe cache. You have to use the vol + and vol - buttons to navigate and the power button to select reboot phone. Your phone should restart and say update failed. if you are not at that screen then switch your phone off and while switching it on hold the vol+ and power button together to go into recovery mode. Once you are in recovery mode you may have to flash the update via ADB. There a few guides on the internet which can help you with that. Heres a link for one of them.
