Hi Everyone... I´m having problems whith my old Captivate...
Firts thing is that some time ago, my internal SD card got corrupted and my phone was unable to start, only in recovery but it was impossible to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, etc...
After that i tried to fix it, flash stock rom, and nothing worked, so i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303 and it seems to "work" ...
So i did it, followed all instrutions, and now i´m able to do all wipes and even flash rom´s but i cannot get the phone to start... I flashed ICS Slim rom, but it just gets at&t screen and then it goes to recovery mode, and phone can´t boot... Am i missing something? :/ Like bootloaders o something like that?

Slim Bean is on JB, are you sure you flashed ICS?
If it's JB, you need to flash it twice as it needs to repartition.

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?
Hi, tried serveral roms now but after I restart the phone and with the new rom installed it takes forever to boot. Havent got past the bootlogos at all. Have tried to let the phone boot for like an hour or so...
Normal original rom works fine. What is wrong?

Yes, I have done a nand backup and restored to my original rom and it works.
After that I then wipe both data and dalvik cache and install a rom. I still get the slow boot time of the rom, or should it take long? More than a hour?
With example with SPQRom I get the blue android on skateboard for like forever, have not get passed that screen.
Something must be wrong?
I tried booting up without a sd-card and nothing changed, same problem. I believe it must be that I dont have any space left on the phone.
Is there a command in recovery to type to see available space?
I have these kind of problems a long time. Nothing works. I tried all above plus many times, plus other things, as format sd card, change sd card, wipe through adb, wipe system, and others I cannot remember.
I have the same problem with SPQRom, version 0.4.1 and I solved once by manually push the libaudio files in lib directory after rom flashing. But maybe your error is different.
I have similar problem with version 0.5, but in this case the problem appears in earlier stage(in first TATTOO screen). And I have this problem with other versions and roms like fyodor's, ikxdf's... And this happens only with 2+ custom roms and in some versions not all. With 1.6 roms I never had problem(with any rom or version I tried).
So I don't know if is device's problem or rom's building.
Oops, that does not sound good at all.
I have only tried 2.2 roms, maybe should try with a 1.6 rom and see if it works..
Ok, so a 1.6 rom works. Damn.

Anyone has a solution??
Tried kiljacken rom (2.1) and that did not work.
So i did a restore, similar to what I have done before to get the phone working, and now that wont get past the boot logo.
Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.
some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works
Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.
if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??
Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..
When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?
i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!
OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.
I flashed my phone to the German ICS. Then I decided to wipe all my data. It was my fault
I made a backup and wiped my phone. After that I get a bootloop. I tryed to restore phone, but it gave me nothing. It stucked on samsung galaxy note gt n 7000 screen. After that I got in recovery mode problems with mounting / cashe and /system
So, I flashed my phone using odin to ICS one more time. And I got bootloop in samsung screen with flashing lights. Cashe and data wiping didn't work.
I flashed to 2.3.6. and in recovery mode phone showed me that he had got a problem with mounting /data. I flashed one more time with using pit and this mistake disapeared. But now I'm still in screen samsung galaxy note gt n 7000.
Sometimes it tryes to reboot. But I still there in the same possition. Anyway wiping makes nothing.
I tryed to find information about cases like my one, but I couldn't do this. So I'm really sorry if it's already been. And I sorry about my English.
Please, help me! I don't want to loose my friend
What I supposed to do now?
Go to this thread now and try the methods from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650209
I tryed this one exept 4th:
Here is how to solve.
1.flash stck GB rom
2.wipe data/cache from stock recovery.
3.now flash stock ics.
4.then flash another rom/ root kernel
still the same...
where I can find new kernel? And how to downoload it to Note?
after few hours of thinking and chating with members of 4pda.ru it looks like the problem begins after getting root access if you use touch recower. There is more than 5 members with the same problem. Beware about using that!
And my question is: how to get stock CWM?
So, guys, after uncoutable times of flashing I found that I can't download to the phone datafs . Is there any ways to solve this problem?
Have you tried to wipe/factory reset in stock recovery instead of cwm recovery?
OK so one more superbrick. Sorry mate
something that you tried had fried your emmc
okay, first of all i will say that im sorry if what im writing is full on faulty language. enlgish isnt my best. aaaanuslut i got my brothers old gt n7000 with a broken touchpad and screen for free. i repaired that with 160€ and my brother said that the phone was rooted. i found out he had allso overclocked the device. But after a few restarts to the phone it just said something what i think was in spanish or something "bla bla bla dos sistema". After that came not your old samsung logo, but purple blueish circles just circling. Ant thats it, it would not start. So i read about bricked devices, and as much as i understood i had a soft brick. so i was looking aroun the forum for some easy fixes becasue im totally stranger to this kind of hacking. i finaly found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F97qo1moAR4 and i downloaded custom jb N7000XXLSZ_N7000OPSLS6_N7000XXLSO_HOME.tar. it did work but again after i tried to restart the phone it was stuck.
So since i dont want any custom stuff i think to my self why not stock rom. so i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. But since i dont like JB as much as ICS i will try ICS. Her is the question: i allready did the factory reset and cache wipe but this instruction says not to FROM ICS.
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
Does that mean that i have allready gone wrong or does that mean that you have to have ICS on youre phone and then you cant do any of those things? its really confusing and i dont want to fk up my phone.
Did you make a wipe on stock ICS recovery?

Yes i can
flash via recovery phils kernel, (a newer one) reboot in recovery and perform the wipe for new rom option.
That should clean your device good.
Then flash what you want. After that download an emmc check app and check. Shouldnt be needed, but its nice to check.

Allright, thankyou, since i am new to all this stuff i will try to locate a tutorial. i dont have any idea for instance, what is recovery phils kernel.
at own risk, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Download zip, keep zipped and put on external sd. Reboot recovery and flash via install from sd option.
Since we are going to wipe latest version will do fine. However if you plan to reflash the original Samsung rom one that is same or likewise version is best to quickly root after flashing rom, so you can flash speedmod kernel (better battery life) after. Find in original dev thread of this forum.
Remember, via factory format on phills kernel recovery(reboot in recovery) you have the option to do a wipe for new rom.
Otherwise on Phills kernel recovery do factory, cache wipe. In advanced dalvik cache, in mounts all(warning take out external sd before so you dont wipe that)
Then your phone is clean, you shouldnt have to wipe efs anyway, so dont tick that option ever in pc odin when flashing rom with odin.
This is the cleanest way to get rid of All leftovers and generally the way to go before flashing any new rom. However risk of loosing photos and whatever you have not backed up. In general backing up is bad as old files/db/etc are put back (risk of unforeseen stuff happening) Check one of my 5 threads for what backups there are. Via my profile you find them
Enjoy!

Okay, im thankful for all this information, useful stuff, got the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1-signed.zip.
let us know how it went, ok?
OOOKAY! so i finaly did what baz77 described. and rooted with another phils kernel witch i chose after my downloaded rom. Did root it, and after powering down and waiting about 3-5 sec. i started it, and it worked, no more getting stuck on gt n7000 screen and so on. and i also downloaded emmc check app, but unfortunatley it said. Brick bug: YES. Insane Chip.
sorry for double post, how do i delete? all i can do is use edit/delete button but it only edits the post, how can i delte it?
You cant but thats ok.
all n7000 have the brickbug to my knowledge, the test should state if the bug has been triggered, if not then super, if it has, best to secure the broken emmc sectors. Tricky.
I think having it clean now should eliminate earlier issues Enjoy your n7000
Thank you, i will, lately my n7000 has been rebooting randomly, any fix or know issue why this occures?

not sure how that is happening. Maybe a logcat (logfiles) shows whats happening when it happens. Could be app. Maybe rom issue. Method of elimination counts here.
On safe kernel, try dalvik cache, cache wipes and fix permissions in recovery, reboot and check if reoccurs.
Otherwise, updated versions, clean install I would recommend.
You can check also before with that emmc app if there are bad sectors. I dont expect it but you never know
Okay, its been a long time since i did that stuff. And it worked allirght. i got my phone working and rooted. Great stuff here
Sorry for updating old topic. Since people who have helped me with my phone allready are familiar with my case. I was wisiting a friend of mine in england and after i returned home my phone is f**ked. Everything works okay, but when i turn on mobile data or wifi it instantly freezes. Takes about 15-20 sec. and then phone does an automatic restart which restarting gets into boot loop. I have to hold down bower button to reboot again. When it asks me for sim unlock code, i have to be quick when im inserting it because i need to turn off mobiledata/wifi as soon as ia get my phone running again, otherwise it will freeze and crash again. Can it be somekind of virus or something? Is it most likely that i have to again format and install philz kernel and all that stuff? Thanks in advance.
that would be the best way to start..IMO
I really dont have the time or opportunity to format and reflash, but i guess its really difficult, near imbossible to tell whats wrong with my samsung. Bust still, any other suggestions?
