Hi guys, I need some help..
I have had my SGS for over a year now and decided today i wanted to root it and do all the stuff that comes with that... anyways so i rooted it and then tried installing cyanogenmod but i got a bootloop which i thought fair enough ill just put the phone back into download mode and download my firmeware of i9000xxjvt again. this was no problem, however... this unrooted my phone i think becasue i didnt see superuser or cwm in my apps again. so then i tried rooting my phone again but i think i picked the wrong file in the PDA part of odin and my phone screen turned off and ODIN said fail or somethign similar. Then i tried turning my phone on and it now has this icon;
well i cant post links but if you go on tinyurl and add "/6o3dt8y" after it you'll see
im so scared iv ruined it, i dont have insurance but it is covered under my parents house contents cover.. i dont wanna have to go through that though. any suggestions? i havent tried removing the battery to turn it off btw it's still on that screen because im scared of doing further damage.. dont know how long the battery will last tho.

Hey, first of all, don't panic, there's nothing wrong that can't be fixed. You should still be able to put your phone into download mode. After that, just flash it with the correct files via Odin, that's all. I recommend downloading jvu firmware instead of jvt. After that you should be able to flash a custom kernel, my recommendation is Semaphore (look for it in the development section). Then flash cyanogenmod via recovery menu. If it starts flashing, then you get into a bootloop, just pull your battery at some point and pull your external sd card. (I had this issue too.) Then put your battery back (but not the sd card) and you will be able to install it correctly. Cheers

You have the i9000? Because I see a restore procedure for i9001 on the server your 'bsod' image is hosted: http://www.broodplank.net/flashsamsungi9001.php
The only think different is the firmware you need and the Odin version. Don't use the multidownloader, but for instance Odin3 v1.85.
I'd recommend cf-root kernel, it's "rooting for beginners" and still enough to be able to flash Cyanogenmod. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Just pull out the battery. I too had a lot of soft bricks this week and you wouldn't believe how many times I had to pull out the battery, lol.
Just try to flash some stock gingerbread rom's and see which one makes your phone work again.
If you can't get into download mode anymore. Pull out the battery, connect your phone to your pc via usb, push volume up and down simultaniously and lastly put in the battery. It should boot up into download mode.
Thanks so much guys I was really scared I ruined the phone. Pulling out the battery worked and putting it into download mode was easy after that. I flashed jvt again because I couldn't find jvu and then flashed cyanogenmod successfully, I removed my external SD this time tyo avoid the boot loop. i will try again later with semaphore kernal first but again thanks a lot people.
i have bricked my step dads captivate. i put Cyanogenmod 9 on his phone he has been using it for a while now but he wanted to go back to the stock rom that came on the phone. i made a back up before i installed cm9 but when i was restoring it back to stock it said error restoring boot image then stopped so i tried it again the it went black. now every time i try to turn it on it gets stuck at the at&t world phone screen and wont do anything. so i made a jig to get it into download mode so i could flash it back to stock. but now on my widows 7 computer it says usb device not recognized. it gives a error code 43, and says device has malfunctioned. i have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them but the same message keeps popping up. i don't know what to do now im all out of ideas and i cant find anything that relates to my problem anywhere on the internet. please someone help me!!!
See the Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help stickied thread in the General Forum.
Also u could try one of the Heimdall One Clicks instead of Odin.......see the stickied thread in the Dev Forum of the Master Collection of Stock Rom One Clicks.

No one tells you that you can't restore a factory image from CWM... but as you have seen, you can't. :thumbup:

seen this just few days back.... if you get stuck at the at&t screen, phone is soft-bricked and you dont need a jig to solve that problem.
I was under similar impression first, then read a post about a ROM installation and found out that to get to download mode, you can hold both the volume buttons and connect the phone to the usb with computer (phone initially is turned off) ... dont press the power button... this will give you download mode.... once in download mode ODIN to stock, root, flash to any ROM that you like by carefully following the instruction to "T".
i couldn't post outside link but look for captivate wikia download mode on google. it will give you a site with all options of bricked phone and solutions.
Sorry if this kind of thread is posted somewhere else already, but i've spent a lot of time but failed finding the solution to this problem.
Rooted for the first time, worked fine, installed ROM MANAGER, too, to create a backup, tried installing CLOCKWORKMOD from recovery, but since after that, my phone is stuck on the initial screen showing "SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i" [Maybe this is SOFT BRICK]
I AM able to enter recovery mode, tried factory reset, unroot, etc but of no use.
PLEASE could anyone help me.? (And I've no idea of ODIN)
Please please help.
Get an idea of odin, then use it. It's different for 5830i (1.85 is the version u need)
And try to stay away from rom manager.

U're lucky to have it just soft bricked. Many others have completely hard bricked their phones.
Download stock firmware & flashguide for S5830i from www.samfirmware.com
And pls. For phone's sake... Don't use Rom Manager ever again.

If you can enter download mode, flash a stock ROM via Odin.
If not, too bad, amigos

Did you install it using CWM or ROM Manager?
Never use ROM Manager on the Ace! If you did, your phone is hard-bricked.
Hi there! Now, firstly, ive always used Windows Phones but, would like to join Android and discover what it is really like to use... It really does look like fun to use
Anyway, last night i got my mums old Samsung Galaxy S1(G-I9000) and tried to root it and put CyanogenMod on it so i could get arid of the broken TouchWiz(I don't know what the new versions of it are like, but this one was broken and horrible to use) and get updated to Android 4+. Now, the root was successful and i am very happy with myself for doing that.... But here is where it all fell apart....
So, i jumped on their guide on their cyanogenmod wiki and it turns out that doing that first step(The "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S") was not needed because i already had ClockWork on my phone and that doing it would apparently break my phone.... I did not realise that till afterwards.
When i tried to reboot into recovery mode to install CM it got stuck on the boot screen. I think to myself maybe its stuffed and ill just reboot it again and see if it work... Nope. Now i try to reboot normally and leave it alone.... Nope. Turns out, all i can do is get into download mode. Now, from what ive found online, using Odin to reflash my phone with the stock ROM is how to fix my phone, problem is, Odin is not finding the phone and Hard Resetting the phone by holding down Lower Volume button and power is not working.... How can i fix this?
I think you can still recover it. However, the reason Odin might not recognize it it's probably because you haven't installed the Samsung USB drivers
If you install them and try to go into Download mode again you might be able to flash the stock ROM back onto your Samsung phone
