Bricked Samsung i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 without success. I used Odin and flashed I9000XXJVK_kernel.tar but when I switched the phone it doesn't boot. It is stuck on the Galaxy S GT-I9000 white logo with black background. I then tried to install using Odin the CF Root-XW-XEN-JS3v1.3-BusyBox but it failed installing on Odin. Now the worst has happened. My Samsung Galaxy S i9000 will not switch on now. All I get on the display when I try to boot is an exclimation mark icon in the middle of a phone and PC icon. I fear it is bricked.
Anyone know how I can save my phone?
Please advise

I managed to get my Samsung Galaxy back to life with flashing the factory ROM on Odin.
Anyone know how I can root my Samsung without this happening again?

If you need only rooting without cwm then use unlock root Google for it its easy and simple and never brick your phone
Press thanks if helped

[Q] Help ! My tab p1000 hangs on samsung logo

For about a week now my samsung galaxy tab p1000 keeps freezing on the samsung logo screen and every minute ore so vibrates very short.
No matter how long i wait it keeps like that . Ive tryed the reset from the recovery mode (powerbutton + volume up) but no luck. The tab is still on a stock fw 2.2 i believe. and no root or anything.
Im very new on the whole rom stuf so some help is needed on how to restore the tab. I havent flashed it or anithing. Also it gives a error like in the screenshot below:
You should flash your tab and install a new firmware that's the only solution

oke i figured that much yesterday, when reading some topics, but wich rom do i need to use?? because i dont know how to root the tab because it wont boot ore is rooting not a must?
dude... get the latest 2.3.3 firmware...
you may check www.samfirmware.com to see latest firmware for your deivce. If you are in ASIA region, look for JPI edition. Its good, fast and stable.
Use ODIN to flash, with REPARTITION ENABLE... once complete flashing, reboot, and repeat the FLASHING again... DO IT TWICE..., but REPARTITION ONCE only...
Do i have to fully boot between flashing, or after first flash straight to download mode?

to play safe, let it boot.. but you can skip the configuration and shutdown and go into download mode..
Oké gona try it when i get home

Im at your same state. My tab hangs on samsung logo and lets me to download alone. I can help you with the drivers part. Im sure you have the Kies in your system. Just push the on button and connect your phone to the pc and run Kies. You have an option to troubleshoot which will update the drivers for your phone. This worked for me. For the rest of the part, there is a chap who is helping me on this forum and he advised me to go for stock ROM. Ill try that today after sufficiently charging up my phone.
I ve been searching for a while now and looks like this is common and nothing much to worry about. Ill keep you posted on what happened on my attempt to odin flash the stock ROM.
Hello friend, my tab is back and working fine now. Hope tried connecting kies to get your driver up for the tab. Once its up you can get to the download and flash stock rom using odin. This would bring your phobe back to life.
I am currently running on overcome experience rom. Its pretty good and they have great instructions on their site. Try that you should be all set.
Best of luck.
I have the exact same issue. I've been trying to flash a Euro 2.3.3 for the last 5 hours. Anything special you did before I create a new thread? I've done this a billion times on my old tab....I just got this one today off ebay.

Can you be more specific on the state of your G-Tab?
What firmware were you using before the problem occurs?
if you are updating from proyo, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs. For your reference you can follow these following steps (given you can access download mode).

I doubt you will ever get Kies to work with custom ICS rom in your tab.

Use the latest version of odin. Also go into download mode before connecting to pc. Plase thank me if you found this useful.

Bricked Galaxy Tab?

So I tried getting into recovery via ROM Manager, and the tab just stopped operating. Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.
So far I've tried reflashing to stock firmware with Odin via Download mode, but no luck. The thing still sits on the Samsung logo.
I don't know if this is apart of the soft-brick symptoms, but everytime I plug it in to charge, I get a white screen instead of the usual battery icon.
Please advise! I don't mind running through the steps again! Any advise would be appreciated!
first, do you own a Verizon/Sprint/Latin America?
If yes, check the files and use the correct firmware and kernel.
If you own a unlocked Galaxy Tab flash the stock gingerbread. You can find it in the download section
in overcome page (p1000.teamovercome.com)
I currently own the T-Mobile version, p1000. I just saw the teamovercome page. I'll try it again through their instructions. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the reply!!
If you can not into download mode there is a way to fix it. Download mode shows the triangle with android digging.

I think you need to flash a new kernel. The times I have been stock at samsung logo on the tab it was a kernel issue. Hopefully you can find the kernel that goes with your rom...if you can odin is your friend. You are not dead yet.

Hello,
did you get your GalTab back? I have that(?), a very similar(?) problem too... so I'm interessed in a solution...
Thanks!

It seems I made a big mistake...

Hi All,
I was try to change the stock animation on Infinitum when after restarting I wasn't abble to sign in. There was a msg saying something baout "Report" "Ok"..." Settings.
I shut down the SGS and made a nandroid restore, the device restarted but it shows the Samsung logo blinking evry six seconds and a can't go to recovery anymore only downloading.
What should I do?
Thank you all in advance.

I think was "OneClick Root"...
I'm trying to find .tar files to recover using Odin but I can't find... Old SGS + Froyo + Portuguese TMN (carrier)... Any help would be apreciated.
Heeeeeelpppp
Now things are getting very strange. I got the original firmware and flashed the Galaxy S with Odin. All went well without errors. But now, when restarting, the device makes the carrier original sound and is swapping between the carrier logo and galaxy logo, endlessly....
I can use the pseudo-CWM menu with the options Install from sdcard, Wipe Factory and Wipe.
Any help or idea to follow?
(I love this mobile )

[Q] Yellow triangle with exclamation mark

I just rooted my phone yesterday and after that, I got this annoying problem.
Every time I boot my phone, there's this yellow triangle with an exclamation mark under Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
I see nothing wrong with my phone except that it drains battery quickly. I just flashed Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean today and it's still there.
What do you guys think is wrong with my phone? Did I somehow rooted it differently?
Be nice, I'm kind of new with rooting and flashing roms.

Ok, this has been covered here many times. Samsung has built a binary counter on their devices to detect unofficial software flashed. That is why, you have to flash via mobile Odin and root with Philz Kernel on stock recovery to avoid that.
Now, you can use a jig to remove the yellow triangle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
If you don't have a jig, then you can use this app by chainfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

OTA Update will not fix the problem...
That means you root your phone with a custom firmware...
You have to use Triangle Away by Chainfire.It removes Custom Binary and sets firmware to Official so you don't have the triangle sex with you every time you boot up your phone

hi, I have samsung galaxy tab GT-P7500 with a existing triangle exclamation point, I have tried the Chainfire app from google and I also reflashed with a new rom to avail. its still there any here. (I also tried to see if there was a special jig for the device I couldnt any)

Welcome to XDA robj1974. You have two ways to solve this:
1)- Boot into recovery and wipe data reset. (Volume+ + MenuKey + PowerKey)
2)-Boot into Download mode and flash a fresh firmware on your cell.(Volume- + MenuKey + PowerKey)
All the best!

Hi There,
Well you will need to flash your device using Odin. Download the firmware package from www.sammobile.com/firmwares and flash it using Odin.
