So I just found my Galaxy S GT-19000 (after moving a while ago i lost it) but when i tried to turn it on it just gets stuck at the splash screen saying Galaxy S etc, Ive tried the 3 button combi to get into recovery mode but nothing seems to work . Im not sure what ROM is on it but it is rooted from when i last used it. Ive tried searching but had no luck
It wont enter Bootloader or Recovery mode using the 3 button combi, it just goes to the Galaxy S screen and boot-loops.
Is there anyway to restore/recover my phone? Im running Xubuntu 12.04 incase I need to run a program to recover it.
Follow the help link on my signature, should help.

Are you sure you are not just holding the buttons down for too long? You have to let go of all of the buttons a few seconds (two is enough usually) after the screen comes on.
Tried the link but cant get it into Recovery mode so it doesnt help I also tried releasing the buttons sooner but made no differnce still stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S screen

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

i have tried flashing my phone countless number of times with odin, using pit.512/513/803 with a number of different firmwares, also select and unselecting the partition/reboot and reset time, but still no luck
it says passed and completed but when rebooting it either stays on the galaxy s gti9000 screen and blinks every 5-10 secs or it comes up with the circle loading thing witch stays forever..
also tried with the 3 files flashing code,modem and csc files but same problem..
am i doing something wrong?
i have no idea what to do now but to send it back to samsung again
Is it stock firmware you're trying with?
this is all the firmwares i have tried flashing with
I9000XWJM8
I9000XXJM4
I9000BVJJPD
I9000DTJG4
I9000DTJP5
I9000UGJL2
I9000XXJPC
I9000OXAJPC
I9000XXJPM
what i cant believe is that ive tried all of them and it does finish flashing but when i turn it on it just stays on the galaxy s screen blinking on and off. the same scenario cant get into recovery but i can get in download mode again...

Hello. Wipe all types of cache before flashing - inclufing dalvik
And format your sdcard.
I hope, it can help

thanks mate, but i followed the steps exactly on that post but still nothing!! it passes with odin but when rebooting it just stays on the galaxy s gti9000 screen :S
lol i seriously dno whats wrong with it
Hate to break it to you but sounds like you're phone is dead.
Can you get into recovery mode? With the phone off press vol up + home + power.
The screen isn't blinking, its trying to load an OS, then failing to load it (probably due to dead internal SD) then rebooting and showing that screen again. I just had to send mine in for repair for the same reason.
yea only download mode, recovery mode not working.
i have sent it back to samsung for repairs.
Hi,
So ive searched around and couldent find any thing that directly relates to this problem.
I did a factory reset because i had no marketplace and i figured it would give me a marketplace
And after i did that, It just hung on the Galaxy S with all of the colours and sound. and it vibrates. basically 1, then 3 seconds later 3 quick ones.
I did use Odin3 1.3 but i could of used the complete wrong file.
When on the recovery screen it says Android System Recovery <2e> in blue writing. Under that it says Samsung Recovery Utils For BML -
I can still get into download & Recovery mode. I just dont know where to go from here. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.
edit- Now its just sitting on the white Galaxy S GT-i9000 screen...
Im happy do donate to someone if they can help me fix this.

Ok, Thanks for your help Guys. Ive got it to boot now, Only it says its a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with IT&T. Oh and the headphones dont work with this firmware, & the phone turns itself off whenever i plug in the USB Or Charger.
Im good with computers, But not with phones (yet) ,
So if any one could leave me some detailed instructions would be great.
Its got Eclair on it.
Hello guys,
I think my SGS is screwed, but maybe with a factory reset I can get it atleast to work...
Atm the phone is in a bootloop after trying to update my light'ning rom. It starts up with the normal "Galaxy S GT-1000" and below "Samsung" screen, after which I only see a messy pixelated screen instead of the usual animation. Shortly after it goes back to the previous screen. This repeats itselfs endlessly.
The phone does go into download mode, using the 3 buuton combo, but my pc does not recognize it. I tried everything, reinstalling drivers, kies, etc, on several pc's/laptops. After some messing around witn battery in and out I do get it into recovery mode, but it is onreadable. The first galaxy S screen is still visable and the recovery menu is in a different resolution then normal above that, making it impossible to read and go through the menu.
I was hoping anyone could give me some step by step guideness through it, so I can try if a factory reset does anything.
dont know if it will help but boot into recovery
volume down button 2 times
power button once
volume up button 5 times
power button once
that will do a factory reset and see if it fixes ya

what do you mean by that ?
The OP has got an i9000
Galaxy S GT-1000
But its probably his tipping or smel checker .

If you got USB-debugging enabled, you can try to force it to recovery using adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If not you will have to reflash your ROM using odin (a ton of guides for that)
Odin will only work if I get the USB bug fixed, wich I can't. Specially since I cant even start up android. No debugging there...
I can get into download mode, so that leaves me with some hope the phone is still fixable...
Ayone else tips?

Thanx, it seemed to do the reset (there did happen things that looked like one, haha) but sadly no succes so far....
all I can do now is try to get to my download folder blind and reinstall the rom that is in the download folder... I have no clue wich nr folder the download folder is, but that is just a matter of endless trying ...
so have you managed to get the phone recognised by the PC ?
if not, try heimdall, i hear that works for issues like yours - something about installing a custom driver for the USB ??? i dont know ive never had to use it luckily
SGS usb drivers
For the drivers you could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
there is also a link in samfirmware.com
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-programandroid.htm
with drivers.
I had a similar problem yesterday ( Broken boot, no recovery mode, only download mode with no USB recognition,) but after trying to reinstall some drivers it worked and now my phone is back online thanks to odin and samfirmware.
Hi all,
I recently got a samsung i9000 after owning an htc desire for a while.... I was more than happy with cm7 on the htc so i rooted etc and installed it on my galaxy... but it seems that its a bit more buggy on the i9000 port and i had loads of force closes and my phone was pretty unusable... so i then used clockwork recovery to install what i believed was the correct version of darky's rom 10.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091) and now im stuck in a bootloop... when i turn it on for 'normal' use, the original GALAXY S logo comes up (the one that says SAMSUNG at the bottom of the screen.... then it switches to the GALAXY S logo with cyanogen(mod) underneath it, then it restarts and im back to the original SAMSUNG logo.
I've tried to enter download mode (vol down, home then power) and when i do this, it just restarts with the original logo in a loop until i let go, then the cyanogen(mod) logo comes up.
Ive downloaded kies and odin to a fresh machine, but when i connect the phone over usb, I get the litter circular timer icon lighting up my phone for a few seconds, then the cyanogen(mod) screen comes up for a few seconds.... and then reboots....
Anyone got a way out for me? ive been without a phone for a few days and its really hurting now!
So you can't get into download mode??, did you flash back to stock rom before flashing Darky's? Because with CM7 a froyo bootloader is needed, and with Darky's a GB bootloader is needed. If you can get into recovery, go to mounts and storage, format system, data, cache, and datadata. Then pull battery out and try getting into download mode again Vol down + home + power. Report back dude

No I'm afraid not, their are two other things you could try....using adb booting into download mode from their....or a jig....that will force it into download mode, u in the UK??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I guess you need a jig to get into download mode. after that, try to flash to different ROMs and see if you have fix the problem.
If you internal sd card is physically damaged, try this method here:

Yep, Im in the UK.... I dont think the internal sd is damaged as it was fine before flashing darkies rom... Ive not used adb to try and force a 'download mode' before.... handy link to a tute?
