[Q] After update, black screen (rooted phone)

Hi,
At first I would like to apologize for any grammar errors I'm from Holland but I'll try to do it right
I've gotten myself into a problem, I tried to update my Galaxy S which runs on Froyo and it's rooted.
It all went pretty well until I had to reboot my phone, it show the moving S sign and plays the music at start-up but wont go any further and keeps displaying a black screen and from time to time it vibrates a bit.
I don't know what I should do now and any help would be very much appreciated.
If someone needs moor information about the error or something else just say so
Greetings!

hello i had the exact same problem as you. in the end i had to reset factory setting which will delete most of the data (on mine it deleted text messages and contacts). however this was months ago and there may be a better fix now (where you get to keep the data)
but with the phone off press and hold voume up + home button + power buton together for a few seconds (untill galaxy s appears on screen) and select the data reset option (volume keys are up and down, power key is used to select the highlighted option)
if you follow my method then you MAY lose data nut you will get your phone back. however there MAY be a better way than that.

Hi,
yes I've tried that but I can't seem to acces that menu, when I press home + power button + volume up it gets me in a loop of showing Galaxy S GT-19000, and then it keep on rebooting. So or I'm doing something wrong or my phone isn't working properly.

Seems that you have a broken SBL ( secondary boot loader ) . It can be fixed but you first need to make yourself or buy a Galaxy S Jig to enter Download mode , where you can flash a rom and hopefully repair your SBL also ( with Bell i9000M rom I repaired my SBL).

Yea, if the phone isnt detected by your computer you will need to make/buy a jig. Newer galaxy s phones had the option to enter download mode and recovery disabled.

Well went to the store were I bought the phone, and they couldn't access the phone, he was able to get it into the download mode but he wasn't able to download any roms to it.
So he send it to Samsung because I still got my factory warranty so its up to them I gues..

Hello abdurm, could you tell us your current firmware? You would require to give us details from Settings > About phone.
Also, did you try flashing anything? If so, what was it?
By pressing the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously, does your device enter Download mode?

It dosen give me enough time to check firmware version, it reboots. It is on ICS. It is stock and I have not tried fashing or anything.
Yes it goes in download mode by pressing Volume Down button + Home button + Power button simultaneously.

Flash gingerbread rom in PC ODIN only and it will automatically reboot by itself but if still stuck in samsung logo go to recovery mode and wipe data and cache.

Thank you very much. Just one last thing I dont have to be rooted to instal this ROM and it is ok to flash directly from ICS . Just downloadFilename: SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip and flash it. And it will leave me with GB?

Apologies abdurm, I foolishly presumed you would have made a note of your device's firmware details at some point in the past. It was stupid of me to ask you for the said information.

1] Download the pre-rooted stock Gingerbread firmware, SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip and extract it to get the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar file.
2] After doing so, run PC ODIN, select the PDA tab in it and point to the extracted file (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar). Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time will be selected by default. Do not select anything else.
3] Put your device in Download Mode and then connect it to your PC via the USB cable. The ID:COM label in PC ODIN will turn yellow indicating your device is connected and recognised.
4] Click on the Start button in PC ODIN and wait for the label above ID:COM to say Pass. After it does so, disconnect your device from your PC.
Your device will reboot and you will be on a stock Gingerbread firmware with root privilege.

Hello again abdurm, I am glad to learn your device is up and running again. :highfive:
Now that you are on a rooted firmware, I would advice you not to avail an OTA update as there is a very high likelihood of it breaking/undoing the root privilege.
Personally, I have not ventured into Ice Cream Sandwich yet and thus I have no right to guide you with the process of acquiring it. But, based on your quoted post may I ask you if you desire to have stock Ice Cream Sandwich with or without root privilege?
I recommend you thoroughly read dr.ketan's threads which explain the subject at hand.

[Q] Soft Bricked Mini2?... Help plz

Hi guys, so i got a new Mini2, and... messed with it, pulled a firmware version from a dif zone by mistake... after i had cwm jena and clockworkz working, installed that asian firmware, and never got the phone to work again, tried several stock rom installs (17 and counting, with/without jena firmware download also), it just keeps doing the boot loop, and i can't access the Recovery menu (vol +/- home power buttons at start).
I've been reading all the meaningful threads here, tried doing button combination with battery, without and nothing seems to work.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Take it to samsung service senter if u got warranty and if isnt try to use another mini 2 battery but I think it may not work and try to press all butoms at same time for 2min and if nothing work buy or make a JTag
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda app-developers app

go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot (ofc when samsung logo will appear don't hold keys). Try few times and it will work, if not 1st then another time. Do factory restet, reboot phone and take off battery. Turn on in download mode and install MD1 XEO stock and do again factory reset using trick from above (go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot.)

You sir... you are my new hero! key trick is pressing the recovery combination quick before logo appears and ... guess what i was holding the damn buttons so hard i was thinking they'd eventually lose pressure
My mini2 is alive :angel:

I'm glad to help you cheers

I have similar problem:
1. no recovery mode, only download mode
2. no matter what stock firmware I flash using odin I get bootloop
I tried the trick to go download mode > reject codition and then press the recovery mode combination but did not work
I wonder if there is a Cyanogen firmware in tar.md5 format so I can flash with odin ?

[Q] How to revive a hardbrick Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P?

I would like to ask if there is any possibility to unbrick it as I just got myself into trouble.
Initial states of phone:
Model : SM-G900P (supposingly, as it was shown in Odin, but within the device info and backside label is SM-G900F)
PDA & CP & CSC : G900FXXU1BOK2 (reflected via *#1234#)
Android 5.0 Lolipop
*Just in case, you are curious why this phone was in this stage, that is the original state of phone which I bought, it is refurbished, sold to me as G900F (ofc, being cheated) and that time I was not geek in phone and didn't realize it is a problem.*
*G900FXXU1BOK2 is not available in any website download so far.
Potential Cause of hard brick:
I noticed there is something not right about the PDA so forth, so I attempted to update everything with Flashfire(Rooted) with G900FXXU1CPGK downloaded from sammobile. (the reason that I didn't use Odin is because bootloader of G900P will automatically reject it with aboot error). And so Flashfire did everything.
Current states of phone:
1. Power button : system won't boot
2. Power + Vol Up + Home : Blank, no power, no recovery
3. Power + Vol Down + Home : Blank, no power, no download mode
4. Charger : Not charging
5. Odin3 is unable to detect the phone
6. adb is unable to detect the phone
I searched around Google and notice there are several options might work under this circumstance:
1. G900F phone: Mount bootloader recovery and .pit file into sd card and boot it with sd card into download mode, then re-flash everything (but this is a G900P phone, I can't find any BL recovery file associated with this model)
2. JTag service
Much appreciate if anyone can enlight me with more viable options or ways to get this fix.

soft-bricked with heimdall. Help needed.

I tried to flash S10 GM-973F with a home made heimdall package. with original software ASG8. The flashing went awry half the way through the process. I used cancel (power + vol down). On reboot phone shows cyan screen with message:
"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
I tried to switch off the phone with long press on power button, but it doesn't seem to work.
Obviously I don't have windows with Smart Switch PC. Any idea how to fix it?
Edit: powered it down using bixby+vol down+power and now I can't switch it on
Edit2: vol down + bixby + power doesn't work. hard brick?
Edit3: hard brick confirmed. EOT

Just try to turn it on like a regular onto download mode. Had that stuff multiple times. ODIN will help you, so you need windows.

Same happened with me during a flash of official Ota through Odin. Seems that issues during the flashing process that require a hard reset can definitely lead to a hard brick

Could you please share your "home made package" ?

Sure, but it's just repacked samsung ASG8 firmware. And it hard bricked my phone.
Do you still want it?
P.S. What's a good option for you for a 3.9 GB file? Can I send you a private link to my server? I don't want to share the file with the public as I consider it potentially a "brickware" :laugh:
Edit: I just deleted the file by mistake (test upload to server and rm in wrong terminal...), but I can easily recreate it if you need it
Edit2: File recreated. Might not be identical, but should be very close.

Wasn't Heimdal from a few years ago? Did you find something that indicated it should work? I'd go back to Odin and flash stock firmware

It looks to me that the latest phones heimdall was officially tested on ran Android 2 so I would be highly doubtful it would work on an S10.

your millage may very. Or you could just vm a windows install and use odin then torch the windows vm.

Same error, here's how I fixed it
1. Press Vol Down+Power to reboot
2. Black screen: Immediately press Vol down+bixby to enter Download mode
3. Used Stock firmware (S10 non 5G) (Via https://www.imei.info/download-firm...xy-s10-exynos/SM-G973F/HTS/?pda=G973FXXS3ASH1) to flash via odin
Tutorial at https://itechify.com/2019/03/04/install-stock-firmware-galaxy-s10-plus/
4. Normal Boot

Actually I mean the Heimdall itself. Where did you get it and what is your setup OS mad Heimdall build.
I tried to use it with my s10 but it wasn't able to even get a pit from device throwing an libusb errors.
