Hello,
I bought a used Galaxy S GT-I9000, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband I9000DTJG3, Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2, build ECLAIR.DTJG4
I thought, no problems, I will upgrade it, however, I haven't been able to do it so far.
First, I downloaded the latest Kies, installed the drivers, but then it told me that Kies 2 doesn't support I9000. I deinstalled it and downloaded Kies 1.5 but then it wouldn't let me upgrade (this device's version cannot be updated error). So, official update is a no go.
Second, I tried to access the download mode with volume up, home, power, but to no avail, neither with volume down, home, power, or volume up and down, power. So I found the way to reboot into download with adb instruction.
Now, when the phone is in download mode, I connected it and installed the driver from Heimdall. I tried flashing CWM through it, but it cannot connect.
I also tried flashing rom with Odin, but it recognizes the phone when it's turned on, however, once it's reboot into download, PC sees the device, but Odin doesn't recognize it, so I cannot update the software from here.
I hope that the above is detailed enough for someone to figure out what is wrong with the phone, and how can I update it at least to GB, but I prefer CM10.
Now it's really buggy, Facebook sometimes works, sometimes not, applications lag, and I know that Galaxy S is a good phone, otherwise I would've bought something else.
I have managed to root the phone via ADB, and I also installed ROM Toolbox. However, it shows no recoveries available and I don't dare try flashing ROM before I have access to a recovery, as my phone boots to recovery only via adb command, no 3button combination works.
I cannot find CWM Rom manager to install on my phone and flash recovery as I9000 is not supported.
Thank you greatly for your support.

I've read and searched as much as I can but haven't seen anyone else have this problem.
I flashed Froyo XWJP6 using Kies and changing the registry entries and I am generally happy with the rom but I've seen others posted I wanted to try out. My problem is that I have so far been unsuccessful getting odin to connect when I go into the rom download screen (down+home+power). Odin and kies both connect when on the home screen.
I understand that since its Froyo with e3 recovery that update.zip files need to be signed so odin is needed to either install a new rom, install clockworkmod or install a kernel that has e2 recovery.
Is there any way I can get odin to connect or downgrade to e2 recovery without going through odin? Or any other solution to downgrade to 2.1 and start again?
It feels like i'm missing something but I don't have the experience to figure out what it is.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This happens to me every now and then as well.What I would do is to re-install the samsung usb driver in my laptop. After that, odin sees my phone again in DL mode.

Make sure you're connecting in the right sequence for odin.
- start odin with phone unplugged
- boot phone into d/l mode
- connect phone to pc via usb
thanks very much for replying. I tried a different computer and it seems to be a dodgy usb port/driver problem on my works computer I had tried originally.
Hi all,
Have a kind of brick at the moment.
Whats working:
Download mode
Recovery e3
The device is booting up, but I did the wrong battery mod for this firmware so it just vibrats and turns on and of.
The PC doesn`t recognize the device, it just sometimes shows up an unkowm device.
I have found this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777872 and now I have some hope!
I have tried to pick the Kies Driver (16 Shrewsbury) and all the others from Kies and also the google drivers from the SDK. But none from the works.
Someone can point me to the rigth driver, plase
Fortunately I still have my G1
Sorry for my English.
If you have a black screen after booting then try resetting back to factory settings in recovery mode.
Thank you,
I wiped al i could in recovery e3.
The device is booting up, sound is coming, I see even the SGS logo, after No package was found that provides the FACTORY TESTKEYS
I guess it´s becaus I aplyed the wrong battery Mod for my firmware
If your phone can go in download mode try to reflash a rom with odin
I allways extract the latest kies install file to hdd and pick the latest drivers setup package out of it. I NEVER installed kies just to get some drivers

Uh... sounds like something is seriously wrong with your phone dude =\ You should be able to get to d/l mode regardless. Does the phone still work fine otherwise?

Did you try diffrent usb port on your cpu?
also..on the cpu that your using odin to flash , do you have kies installed?
if so make sure it isn't running ( i would uninstall just incase)
see if that helps.

I am interested in rooting too, and I have gingerbread. I have 2 problems though, first, I do not have the 3button combo working. I thought the gingerbread update would fix it, but no luck, and the method I found here did not work. I hear that you should not try to root without the 3 button combo working, but what choice do I have, samsung update did not fix this bootloader problem. I cannot put my phone in download mode without having it plugged in and recognized by adb.
My 2nd problem is that I have a I9000T and it seems nobody has this phone around here so I have no way of knowing if some of the rooting options even work for my phoen and firmeware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have a i9000t, ive soft bricked a few times as long as you could get into download mode you should be ok, allways keep a stock rom around just incase to flash back to through odin.
Ive flashed a few modem with no problems, few roms with minimal problems..
Cm7 lost radio and weird pixle screen boot.
Deoxidized roms work good.
I had flashed Darkys 9.5 and everything worked till i noticed the stock music player gave me reboots.
I had tried flashing MIUI but no luck at all, could of been my zip. File was messed up but i tried a diffrent and still nothing.Now im on Darky 10.1 final no problems.
This has to be the most stable/fastest rom ive ever flashed.

hi.. do you have official kies installed on your computer?
if so uninstall it first... and installed the unofficial samsung driver.. sorry i cant post link here as am junior member..
you can search in google "samsung usb.rar". Once you download it, then installed it on your computer. Open you odin, put your phone in download mode,
and plug in to computer, then odin should be able to recognize your phone.
Once I have the same problem and it works for me with above step. hope that help.

Thanks for the reply! Ok, I finally manage to have the 3button combo work and get into download mode and recovery mode. I want to root, can you tell me if the odin method works on 2.3.3 stock, on I9000T . Also, How can I fully backup my phone. Which android version did you have when you rooted.
Also, I keep reading those very old threads and I was wondering what the latest Odin version is used for 2.3.3.

Turns out We/I have been using the wrong button combo for download. Download mode is: Vol DOWN+Home+Power On.!!! Recovery mode is Vol UP+Home+Power On. I used Fuguroot with my stock kernel from RAMAD (senior developer). Flashed with odin & it took LESS THAN 2 MIN!

I don't have a galaxy tab, but it should be similliar to my galaxy s. I think your device is NOT bricked. As long as you can get to download mode, your device is NOT bricked. If you can get there, you should try to flash with odin/heimdall again. I think you must have done something wrong in the flashing process. AFAIK the logo is displayed by bootloader (primary), so if nothing went wrong with flashing the secondary one (download mode), you should be able to flash again.
I updated my rooted Captivate from Froyo (official build) to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (official build) today, and the process seemed to go smoothly until the phone needed to reboot at the end of the update. I found that my phone was showing the At&t animation and then going to the Galaxy S animation and then repeating the process instead of booting properly. I do not know why because I unrooted my phone using Super One Click before I updated. I am freaking out, what should I do now?
how did you update? what method? official stock? or official plus a CWM kernel?
there was no point of un-rooting. flashing stock will un-root a captivate. flashing a custom rom, it will be rooted already...
when in doubt, flash to stock again. but make sure its correct stock.. once again what method and where did you get it?

I updated (from official Froyo stock) using Kies Mini to the Samsung official stock (Gingerbread 2.3.5). I have never flashed before. How can I do this and how can I find the correct stock to flash to?
As a note to anyone who might find themselves stuck in the same predicament as I was in, the Odin3 One Click Downloader program by "designgears" is very useful. Using the button combinations I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351224 I was able to get my phone into Download Mode. I then used the Odin3 program (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989) to painlessly flash my phone to the stock 2.1 rom. This was just a matter of connecting my phone to my computer, running Odin3, and clicking "start". After my phone rebooted, using Kies Mini, I updated to 2.2 Froyo. I waited for my phone to reboot, disconnected it from the computer, reconnected it to the computer and then (using Kies Mini again) updated my phone to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (which, so far, I am very happy with).
WARNING: Make sure you wait before Odin3 is completely done running!! When I was running the program I thought it was finished and almost unplugged my phone prematurely (I am fairly sure this would have ruined my phone, but do not quote me on this). If in doubt, just wait a few minutes.

Just flash a KK4 rom or leaked KK4 in dev section. Should fix it. BTW never use kies....its ebil....
I'm having a similar problem, with my Captivate stuck in a loop at the AT&T splash screen. However, I can't access Recovery mode or get to download mode - I've tried every 3-button combo variant I've found on the forums, as well as taking out the battery, holding the volume +/- keys, plugging into USB & re-inserting the battery.
Would it be safe to assume that the only way I'm going to be able to get into download mode now is with a USB jig?
EDIT: Prior to this, I was running Froyo 2.2 - went to flash the ICS for Captivate ROM - it didn't work, but I could still get into recovery mode. So I simply booted into recovery, did a factory reset and clicked the "reboot" option on CWM. That's when it started boot looping.
Okay, so I got a USB jig and put it into download mode. Plugged it into a free rear USB port and Vista started automatically installing drivers for it, so I ran the Heimdall One-Click Stock. It saw my device as connected so I went ahead and clicked "flash", and I got an error msg saying the device wasn't found. Prompted me to install drivers, so I followed the prompts and attempted to install the drivers from the zadig program.
The first time, the install timed out after 5 minutes. Rebooted my PC and ran the Heimdall One-Click utility again, and this time after a few seconds I got a prompt saying that the drivers have been successfully installed. However, in the taskbar I got a pop-up saying that driver installation failed.
Now, every time I plug into a USB port I get an error of "USB device not recognized", and when I run the Heimdall One-Click util it says my device isn't connected. I've tried it on two seperate PCs (both running Vista), on multiple USB ports and still get the same error.
Should I just uninstall all the Samsung drivers and reinstall?
EDIT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: Hi! If you're reading this, you may've had the same problem. What worked for me was uninstalling Samsung Kies, uninstalling the Samsung mobile phone drivers, going into regedit and deleting all SAMSUNG registry keys. After that, reboot, put your device into download mode, plug into your USB Port, run the Heimdall One-Click package of your choice and just wait!

You can't go wrong by uninstalling both sets of drivers (Samsung and Heimdall), rebooting, and reinstalling just the Heimdall Drivers. Heimdall also only installs drivers for one USB port, so trying different ports is key (I know you already did, and you're on the right track).
Here's a good Heimdall thread if you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113195

Seems like my Tab P1000 is major f**k**!
I've had issues with the tab showing up in Odin from day one...Does not show up.
Managed to get the tab rooted thru One Click Root.
Tried to get CWM but couldn't find it anywhere for P1000.
Downloaded and installed Mobile oding to try flashing Overcome.
Put all the files into Mobile Odin, and started flashing.
This was when things went sour...
The flashing just stopped for several hours at the Samsung Logo screen, after 5 hours i just turned the whole tab off holding PWR button.
Tried to go into upload mode, but that didn't work, got "Power reset or unknown upload mode". The tab goes into Download mode, but displays as "Unknown Device" in Device manager in Windows7 (I am running 64bit). I have tried to install the Samsung USB drivers, still does not detect the tab. Tab is not detected by Kies, Odin or Heimdall at all. Displays as Unknown Device in Zadig, and the driver is not possible to install. I think I have read through all the posts available regarding this subject, but not sure. I hope there is a way of fixing this without disassembling the Tab.
I purchased the Tab from a colleague, and he had installed the 2.3.3 firmware on it. He said he got Odin working and that was how he put 2.3.3 in. Could this be the source of the problem??
It got nothing to do with your colleague flashing 2.3.3 using odin.
I use Odin all the time, but never have actually tried Mobile Odin.
But I suspect the actual problem was, your G-tab was not properly rooted.
After you tried rooting your G-tab, did you tested it with Titanium backup or with any apps requiring root access?
Installing custom rom requires root access, otherwise it will fail in the middle because of write access failure.
Unrecognized by Windows 7... As many posts state, you need to connect to kies at least once before going to download mode so that your g-tab could be detected by Windows.
You may try this solution:
Start Odin on your computer, connect your g-tab and while connected to the computer, reboot your g-tab again to download mode. Do this three to five times, and see if Odin can detect it.
