[Q]How to rescue my phone from boot loop - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I have been using custom roms on my galaxy ace for like 1,5 years. My mom had some problems with her i9000 (phone gets stuck a lot, also gets stuck everytime it receives a call and etc) and i thought it would be the best to use custom roms to fix it. But it had 3 button problem and i tried to solve it with 2 different ways but it didnt work. Then i thought that it might work if i downloaded CWM and installed it via Odin. This is when phone started to loop boot. I guess i installed a wrong one ( i double checked though ).
Now phone doesnt go in either download or recovery mode and keeps looping. And between samsung logo, a corrupted screen shows up (check attachment please).
PS: the corrupted screen started to show up after i tried to fix 3 button problems. Even when phone was working alright, it would show up sometimes.
Please help me solve this. Thanks.

try usb jig, u can search it via search box n its da easiest way to attain download mode for u to redo ur flashing sequence.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Mini

Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...
Yohan
u cant even enter recovery?if u can,just wipe cache and data..

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.

i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

yes i even tried to go into stock recovery but same thing happens
When you flash the mulit-package and you can't go into recovery then I think you phone is damaged. Only what can you try more is using adb to get into recovery:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
At boot loop you mean the Samsung boot animation - or the logo that displays immediately when you try turn on you phone?

i have flashed stock S5830JPKKP9 wich is my baseband But can u provide me link for 2.3.3 kpo
Is S5830JPKKP9 a mulit-package? When yes than it isn't necessary to flash 2.3.3 KP0, doesn't make any difference. You can found 2.3.3 KP0 here https://hotfile.com/dl/127701476/7d30a8b/S5830XWKPO.rar.html but this is an European rom.
The logo when i immediately turn on da phone
I have bad news to you - I think you phone is damaged. Only what you can do is flash a mulit-package. When this doesn't help you must go to the service center. But try before turn on you phone put out the battery for a few minutes.
EDIT
Have posted wrong link, post edited - now it's ok.
Thanks for your effort ill try that... but wat is multipackage? Can i use adb to get into recovery as u said before?
multipackage is an firmware that is split in more files - flashing it make a eraser of all internal memory (have update my previous post whit correct link). You can try adb, but I think you will get "error - no device" because adb works on when the kernel boots - that means it will help when you have a classic boot loop on the boot animation - not on the SAMSUNG logo.
Are u sure that there is no other way to fix this?
Definitely yes.
Pls say cause im taking this to service centre 2morrow
I think the problem is you have overheat you phone - did you play on it when charging the battery? And second I think it isn't good to turn of you phone when he gets hoot - better to let it on and cools slow down.
I found out what really caused this problem so the day before i installed this app called "mobile odin" it asked me root permissons so i allowed it..then it said that the app is not compable with my device and then it asked me to allow it to create a dump file and it said that it could take almost 30 mins to complete and make that app compatible with my device...so i allowed it after 30min it said finished dumping after that i didnt switch off or reboot the phone that day...but i rebooted the phone the other day when it became hot while playing which caused this problem...i am saying this because some other user bricked his/her phone the same way!
I think I lost my phone now the same why -.- damit

While MobileOdin is not compatible with a Galaxy Ace http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 I'm not sure how it would have bricked your phone when you didn't actually ask it to do anything.
As others have said, considering the inability to enter recovery after flashing a new bootlader & rom etc, a hardware error appears more likely perhaps as a result of overheating.
Too late it had to replace motherboard....

Galaxy S + 9001 stuck in bootloop - can't flash with Odin

Hi.
I have a Galaxy S+ I9001. I had cranyum rom installed on it. One day it just restarted and after it got stuck in bootloop.
It onlyshows SAMSUNG logo, and then restarts and so on...
I can't get into recovery using 3 button combo, but I can get into download mode.
The problem is that it appears to write ok with Odin Multi downloader 4.43, but when it gets to the reboot part, the phone just power off and gets to the same bootloop. If I disconnect the usb cable, it shows a vertical battery icon, then black screen, again battery icon, and so on... Tryed with a different battery witch was charged to 100% before flashing because I tought that it was running low on battery, but the result was the same.
Tryed many different firmware and same behavior.
Is it possible to be a hardware problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

It does't matter what I try to fash to the phone via Odin. It says thet the flash was successful, and goes to the same bootloop.
Tryed flashing different roms, feamod recovery, clockworkmod, bootloader. Nothing changes.
So flash full rom wit pit and then root it again then do what ever u like

The problem is that it's a Galaxy S Plus - I9001. I can't flash it with PIT file. That's only for Galaxy S - I9000.
Does the pit file works for Galaxy S+ also? All that I found with pit file was for Galaxy S.
I can flash mine with AriesOPS, but that doesn't do the trick. Same bootloop after flashing.

First remove battery and press power for a min, remove sim card and ext SD card and than reinsert battery and go into download mode Download the CWM 6.0 recovery, link on My Android Collections below and try to get recovery First, than go into recovery , In recovery WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system) enter advanced and wipe dalvik cache too than flash the ROM
I allready tried to do that. It flashes ok with odin multi downloader 4.43, but when it goes to restart, the phone gets back in the loop, and I can't get it to recovery via vol up+power (with or without usb connected). It just gets to the same boot loop in witch displays just the SAMSUNG logo for about one second, the restarts, and so on.

Unfortunately, from what I have read, that flasher is used with the phone started and connected to the pc in debugging mode.
I've just tryed anyway. Nothing to lose
Nothing changed.
I really believe that it's a hardware problem.

The problem it's that in the link that you provided, I must have access to recovery witch I do not have.
Or to use ADB, witch is possible if the phone goes after the Samsung logo at startup, but mine restarts exactly after the logo without going further.

Umm.. correct me if I'm wrong here, wasn't that a 2 button combo in I9001? I have personally flashed my friends I9001 and it was, like [vol+, power on]?
You are right is two buttons combo.
It's just an expression.
But it does not work anyway.

Have you tried holding the button combo a little longer? Don't get this the wrong way, from my experience I know that getting to recovery on i9001 can be a little pain in the a$$ and I really don't know why. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

did you flash the correct firmware.check your device model and download the suitsble version and try flashing again.if you go to boot screen then remove your battery and goto stock recovery and wipe data and cache.dont panic just search and read you may get a solution.
Restore it then flash it again. That's why you always back up. If you didn't back up download the official firmware then root it again

[Q] HELP! i think i bricked my 5830D!

So I, (like apparently many other 5830D users) was having the bug where it would randomly restart for no apparent reason.
i read that froyo did not have this issue, and figured id give it a shot. i downloaded the ZSKC2 2.2.1 files and loaded them into odin with cooper_v1.0.ops, connected my phone and hit start.
it said it installed everything just fine, but when my phone went to reboot, it didnt.
it flashed a black, blank screen for maybe a second and that was it.
so i tried to go back into download mode on it so i could reinstall the firmware it had before, and i couldnt get it to work.
it would turn on the screen, flash the "downloading..." text for a second, and then turn off the screen. it was weird, because the text was white, not the yellow it always seemed to be. odin recognized my phone for that second, but that was it. once the display turned off, the connection went away. i've tried other usb ports, but no luck
is there any way i can fix this? or is my ace bricked for good? i have no warranty with it because i bought it used.
ive read about a USB jig, will that help?
please, any help at all would mean a lot!
1) You should have taken the bill & the warranty card from the owner you bought this phone.
Coming to the point, it appears to me that there might be a problem with your battery, but I ain't sure about this. Try using a different battery with your phone. Also, are you sure to have used the odin & stock rom for S5830D & not S5830 ? Check these aspects first. If you've got them right, then there'll be either a multi-package or a single package filed stock rom for your device. You can google for the exact odin flashing, try again to boot into download mode again & flash. If your phone fails again to go into the download mode, use the search option here on xda to find out the issue with your phone or the best thing to do would be go to the service centre & tell them that donno what went wrong & this happened.

okay, i tried the battery from my other phone and got it into download mode, i installed the stock rom and it is working again, but the reboot problem is still there!
is there any way to fix that? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel, other roms still reboot and apparently froyo doesnt, the only thing common between all the gingerbread roms that i can think of is the kernel.
i have flashed S5830,T,L,B roms with no issues, but the reboot still occurs. cyanogen hasnt helped either, do you have any clues?

After flashing via odin, if you face a bootloop, reboot into stock recovery & do a factory reset & reboot now. It should work.

..but it is not tuck in a boot loop. its doing what the stock roms did; it'll boot into the rom fine, and you can use it, but once it goes to sleep the phone restarts itself.

If you are having this issue with the froyo, try it out with GB. If the issue prevails, go to service centre. Sorry for repeating the same thing again & again but that's the best I could say of it...
