I tried installing CM7 but accidentally downloaded and tried to flash an update. I can get into recovery and download mode but my phone can't get past the "Galaxy S" screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
go to recovery mode and wipe cache partition and do a data/factory reset maybe it can help if no then have to flash a new rom
Hi folks,
I tried updating my S plus to ICS today by following the instructions listed here:
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-plus-i9001-ice-cream-sandwich-update-install-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom
I read through the instructions and it looked pretty simple. I successfully installed Team Win recovery, performed a backup, wiped, and then installed the CM9 rom.
After the installation, the phone just boots back into Team Win recovery. I tried reverting to the backup, but it still just boots to recovery every time.
Now that I'm stuck in TeamWin recovery, I'm at a loss on what to try next .
Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix the problem?
Thanks,
Evan
Sometimes when you flash new Recovery (usually when replacing stock recovery with modified recovery for the first time) you get stuck at bootloop. It means /boot partition was damaged. After flashing TWRP did you restart your phone and it booted correctly, or did you install everything (TWRP, got backup, wipe and install new ROM) at once?
There is a guide for i9001 bootloops

So is reflashing in Odin what you are suggesting? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yes, after I flashed TWRP it booted fine, the 2nd time I went into recovery, performed the backup, wiped, then flashed the rom. I've tried wiping both the cache's with no success. I've also tried reflashing the rom, wiping the cache's, restoring with the backup, wiping cache's again... nothing seems to be working
What would be different if I had installed everything (TWRP, backup, wipe, rom) at the same time?
*Edit* Reflashed through Odin and it worked great! Thanks for the help, I'm a little scared to start messing with the phone again, but ICS is tempting...
Got the rom working with a fresh backup after fixing the bootloop. Thanks again for the link divibyzero, the troubleshooting steps solved the problem, whatever it was, and now its running ICS
These Samsungs S+'s seem to be a little more finiky than my HTC.

Hello guys,
I think have the same problem, this morning I installed the Team Win recovery and after a reboot my phone come into recovery mode and even after a furthr reboot I'm blocked in a bootloop that leads me always on Team Win recovery.
I tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and even a wipe of the system but nothing happen.
I reinstalled rom but without success.
There is a way to fix this through adb?
Advanced thanks for help
Max.

You didn't specify, so I'll assume you have an i9001, if this is not the case, you probably shouldn't follow these instructions
Just reflash the bootloader as explained here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330) and you'll be fine. I had the exact same problem when I had installed CWM on my own device. It's not with adb, but it's not like you have to do a lot of effort to get Odin or anything and it will fix your device.

Guys, has anyone tried to use dd to flash bootloader partition?
I assume dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 bs=512 should work
Can somebody attach boot.img taken with dd so I could test?

Hi Evan which release of Odin did you use I am also facing the same problem for the past 28 hours and not been able to resolve it. The problem is thay the Com Port does not pop up basically the phone is not being recognised by the computer.
Please help.

You must properly install Samsung mobile drivers on your PC, kill Samsung Kies process (or even better: uninstall Kies) and enable USB debugging on your phone. Then it will work.

The problem was that I was using Windows 8. I was able to resolve the issue after doing it on Windows XP.
I am sorry if this is asked earlier. couldnt find such a thread.
I have a samsung galaxy s i9000. i installed cm 10.0.0 stable on it yesterday upgrading from stock 2.3.5.
but because i could not connect to internet via network, i decided on restoring my backup of stock which was made in different version of cwm and while recovering it, it asked me that the "device seems to have root problems. try fixing it?" i selected yes.. after that the phone rebooted and stuck at boot screen. then i tried to go to recovery mode and their it wasnt detecting my internal sd card, boot, system etc i .e. i couldnt mount anytthing. so i tried flashing recovery again.
now finally, i am having a phone which goes only to download mode, or the bootscreen. doesnt even boot to recovery. i guess the kernel is still of cwm 10.
please tell me what should i do?
thanks.

Flash stock rom.
Hi guys. I was hoping that maybe some of you genius's maybe be able to help me out? I will try and explain my problem as clearly as possible.
I have an I9305 and an from the UK. I have rooted my phone before and used many custom roms. But quite recently I decide to unroot my phone and go back to a normal stock rom. Last week I got the urge
to root again and install some custom roms. I quickly discovered that since I had OTA my phone that the latest OS has problems (knox) with rooting. I did manage to root my phone. However, the problem started when I tried to install
twrp through Goomanager. I tried to reboot into recovery mode and my phone was stuck on the Galaxy S III splash start screen, and I could not get into recovery mode either. I could still get into download mode. Eventually I did manage
to restore my phone using odin, and install a stock rom for Ireland. After this I tried to install a stock from for the UK, and now my phone is now back to being stuck on the splash screen, and I can not enter recover mode on my phone
using the up/home/power combo, but I can still acces download mode and conect to odin. I have been searching on line for several days for some solutions and fixes, but I seem to be getting no where. So please, if you can help my out and hopefully get my phone back to life I would
be extremely grateful.
If you can boot to download mode, then have you tried to flash a custom recovery with odin? If its twrp you want then flash the twrp tar for i9305 which you can get off the team win website and then see if you can access recovery. If you can, then you should be able to flash a samsung 4.3 rom or cm rom from external sd if you don't have one on your internal or even restore a backup if you have one.
AllianceROM I9305
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have tried to flash cwm and twrp using odin. They seem to flash fine, but I can not enter recover mode at all. I have also tried to flash some custom roms and they also seem to flash fine, with no errors, but my phone is still stuck on the boot logo. Thanks for any more help.

im afraid like me, your stuck on 4.3... download the offical rom and odin it across to your phone, you will not be able to root your phone from now on, your stuck stuck with stock 4.3.. you cant even enter recovery mode thanks to knox.. just the download mode.. like i said in my post "UP YOURS SAMSUNG" IF I EVER SEE YOU IN THE STREET ILL KNOX YOU OUT LOL
relating btuali
Thanks for you replies and help so far. It would be good if I could flash 4.3 through odin, but unfortunately after each successful flash, my phone remains on the sIII logo screen. Maybe there is a specific rom that you guys could recommend that I try? Thanks once again.
Hi there. A big thanks for taking the time to help and give advice. I now finaly have my phone working again. I used Odin 3.7 and the latest official rom, entitled "I9305XXUENA1_I9305SIOENA1_SIO.zip" Odin froze and stalled a few times trying to install but after a few tries it worked. I can now also get back into recovery mode now. So, I was wondering might it be a good idea to do the normal wipes in recovery mode. ie wipe cache, etc. Thanks once again.
Yes keep it clean...
