Hi guys, im using a rooted 2.3.6, then i did the partition for link2sd, and everything worked perfect, however since i downloaded some apps first before doing the partition, i decided to do factory settings on the phone settings so it would be like a fresh internal memory then begin downloading when link2sd is already placed, however after doing factory reset on settings, my phone just keep on rebooting, everytime i open it, i downloaded the firmware in sammobile, as per advised, however im not sure how to flash it. should i use ODIN, or use CWM and do this process.
Using CWM.
Copy Zip to SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install Zip From SD Card
Flash ROM
Reboot
or should i follow this instruction via odin

Woooooooooo!!!
Stop here!!!
What do you want to flash?
If you want to flash a custom rom, do wipe data/factory reset, wipw cache and go advanced and do wipe dalvik cache too then flash the custom rom you want, (It's fully recommended to follow dev's instructions so the process could change with each rom).
well if you want to flash a fresh stock you should do 3 wipes to and then use Odin with the correct firmware and finished this process you'll need to do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition to complete the fresh installation of the rom, if no you'll get a bootloop.
Enventually if you want to increase your internal memory you'll need a capable kernel (cf-root, BE, Space, nims11... ) with init.d support or create it by yourself and then you'll need to use link2sd or an int2ext script (I recommend you it, because it's easer to install IMO) with you sd-ext partition created in your microsd previously
All will work fine with this configuration
If you have any kind of question, ask here and we'll try to help you
WAHH OMG i didnt wait for your reply
wahh. what will happen, heres what i did
ACCESS CWM
wipe/factory reset 1x
wipe cache 1x
install from zip (Sll v10)
then reboot
it worked, however you mentioned i should do it 3x, and the one in advance option, but i didnt do it, should i repeat the process with your instruction?..
anyway it's working fine so far, it's not Galaxy SIII though i think what i have is Galaxy SII even when i open and turn off phone it says Galaxy SII..
and the interface already change I mean the design of everything, however my Menu button won't open my Menu, i need to open it using the soft touch application, however the menu hard button is working if i want to go to the main screen and long press access task manager.
do i still need to repeat the process w/ this.
wipe/factory reset 3x
wipe cache 3x
wipe the delvak cache in advance option 1x
install from zip (Sll v10)
then reboot
hoping for your reply
hi,, heres what i did should i change it?

well it is not bad, but if I were you I'd do "wipe dalvik-cache too" to keep as clean as possible my new rom
About de menu button, I don't know maybe a rom bug??... try another ro.
and ALWAYS FOLLOW DEV'S INSTRUCTION TO FLASH CORRECTLY A NEW ROM
Finally to flash a fresh rom you can follow the C prompt from this guide; (the guide you posted, It's right too )

Hi everyone here!
I had a difficult question. I made a mistake and flashed a s5360 stockrom on a s5830i. Now I could not enter any bootmode trying every keys and combinations. The phone starts and I can read samsung galaxy young gt-s5360 but only the topleft 2/3 of the screen is used. The rest is a bunch of colorful pixel. After some seconds I here the samsung startsound and then a small stripe of the screen shows me a part of a normal started phone. But I see not more then the time and the upper symbols. The phone seems to run. But I dont know? Is there anything I can do for it or is there no possibility if the bootmodes are not reachable.
I had no idea! Is there someone who has a tip for me? I think I could send the telefon to restart in downloadmode, but I dont know how to do because I cant see what happend when I press some keys. I think the system is running, it sounds when pressing vol+ or vol- and vibrates when pressing powerbutton. Thank you for every idea what I could try.

After mourning a moment because it looks like that there is no help for my s5830i, i have another question. With open case I see, on the back in the bottom left between battery and a screw, a connector. Never saw this before though I opened the case many times. It is or was a nice testing device for me. And I tested many ROMs, Mods etc. with it. I dont know what this small connector is? It looks like other small connectors and the innercase has a whole on its position, it seems to be there that a cable could be connected to the device. Does anyone know why there is such an connector on the device? Is it possible that there is something like a serial gateway to the device? Is there someone with knowledge about this?

Is your phone a galaxy y ? Are you not able to see what appears on your screen & hence not sure what mode is it entering ? I have a solution ! First google to find an xda thread to flash stock via odin for your device, download all the required files & setup odin. Now once you have setup odin, power off your phone. Simultaneously hold home+power+volume down button. Let whatever appear on your screen but just be sure that the phone is on. Connect your phone to pc via usb cable. If odin recognises the com port & displays as detected, you are good to go ! Just flash according to the instructions !

Thank you for your answer! First the phone with the problem is a galaxy ace gt-s5830i. Until some weeks ago I also had a galaxy young. Thats why I have also stockroms for the young. Then I made a mistake (It was sunday in the morning, sometimes not a good time to flash . I used a stockrom from the Galaxy young gt-s5360 for the ace. Now the ace starts and seems to run but theres a problem with the output of the screen, so I cant see what happend.
But my real problem is that I could not enter any bootmode. I used all keys and every combinations more then one times, but nothing works. Either the downloadmode nor the recoverymode are appearing. So I will follow your advice and will try to bring up the phone in downloadmode regardless what happend on the screen. But Im not really optimistic because every time, Ive start the phone holding a keycombination, the phone doesnt reacts and a few seconds later I hear the samsung startsound. Thats why I think I couldnt reach the downloadmode anymore. And I also tested to what happend if the phone is connect through USB. Odin recognices the Interface, I mean the yellow field with comX appears, but until now every time I start the transfer the logoutput displays "connection failed" and the field above the yellow field goes red. But Im still testing your idea.
Ive also another question. I sadly looked at the ace with the prolem, thinking if there is anything I could do, as I saw what I think is a connector for whatever. With case opened it is left under the battery. I dont know what it is and asked myself if this could be anything like a seriell interface. I find something similar on my galaxy 3. But there is a diffrent connector next to the battery left. Is there any knowledge about this connectors or whatever it is?

There are only two ports for the ace. One to connect the charger/usb & the other to plug in the headphones. As I said earlier, try to flash stock via odin. But by what you have quoted earlier, I don't think it should be a problem if odin recognises your phone. Just keep trying, if you don't find success, you may have to try jtag. Again jtag kit costs you. If I were you after no success, I'd definitely take it to the service center. If they can't start your phone & if they can't see what's happening on your screen, they'll definitely try to flash a new bootloader, which should bring your phone back to life. Worst case, they may replace the motherboard, which I think won't happen. After flashing the bootloader, they'll say that your phone's software was modified & that your warranty is void. But now you've got a new bootloader & you can go flash via odin As easy as that

I just flashed a battery mod on my galaxy s.
But i think i downloaded the Wrong one!!! When i did a reboot, the process 'android.phone' stopped working. Mmmm.. OK.
Tried a factory reset through the 3 button menu. Well now it does not do anything, i can see the boot movie, but then i get a Black screen with an heartbeat on the vibration thingy.
I did not panic and tried to flash an other firmware. Well it did not work. I see the boot movie, but then the screen blacks out and nothing works......
I searched for this, but i didnt get a good answer on how to solve this.
So if anyone is kind enough to help me, and tell me what to do in simple steps.
The same here. I used version D for JP6 & the 2nd method.
I had to reflash the softwear.
Exact same problem with me, had to reflash. Could someone tell the guy who has the battery mod thread?

1st. You need to flash a fresh firmware I suggest a official one so you can download the latest JP6 from kies without knifing the registry. you can get those firmwares from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm but you need to register first. And here are the intructions how to flash http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/sho...and-and-flash-newer-firmware-to-your-Galaxy-S
2nd. After a succesfull flash go to recoverymode (shut down device, hold: vol-up, home and power)
wipe cache and do a factory reset just incase, and boot your device.
3rd. Install JP6 through Kies
edit:
BTW im a noob who did just this after i messed my phone to a state like mentioned in op So i dont take any responsibility about any damage you do to your phone. I did something like this and now i have official JP6 inside my sgs and its flying

yes it does enter what i presume to be download mode (up to continue, down to restart)
Boot into download mode and flash a stock rom via Odin then start over your not bricked don't worry
After you do the stock ROM via Odin and let it settle, you can try the ICS repack again. Someone here can help you, but theres already good threads out there for step by step.
One thing I can say since you asked what not to do again is use PC Odin instead of Mobile Odin. Yes, you will get a triangle but you can use triangle away to get rid of it, if you wish. I personally sport the triangle on my phone
Yeah, your phone is not bricked, no worries.
Here's a thread that will help you, make sure to get correct files and flash to stock using PC Odin:

Try long pressing power button and rebooting, if not downloading mode is your way, (do you have ICS rom zip into SD Card?), you will need it to flash it, goes to development threads and you can find it, you can choose one of them, actually I´m on Criskelo V2 LPC6 its good for dayly use its full working, when you got it press at same time Vol +/power button/home and enter in Clockwork mode goes to install zip from sd card, choose from sd card and ICS zip, back to menu wipe data, wipe cache, goes to advanced and wipe dalvick cache, reboot system now and follow steps introducing gmail account and its all enjoy yor NOTE with ICS.
Hi everybody,
sorry for posting this outside the mini 2 forum, but appearently that's a developers reserved forum, so I had no rights to post there.
I would like to ask what is the latest stable custom rom developed for mini2, where to find it and possibly an instruction page.
I had good experience with CM on another galaxy before, so I checked on the the CM website first but mini 2 is not listed there
On the other end I saw a long post on the mini2 developers forum saying that CM10 was actually created, but the post is 91 pages long(!), so forgive me if I didn't read it all. Is it working?
I also checked if there was something like an "in evidence" post with instructions for newbies but couldn't see any, maybe I missed it.
Can someone point me to the right page?
thank you for your held

mm in the meantime I screwed things up. I installed gapps and now it only boots in recovery mode...
why? what shall I do?
please help
thank you
davide
ok, now I'm starting to panic.
why does nobody answer, am I doing something wrong with this post?
I reinstalled the stock rom. I first tried using CWM recovery and selecting install zip file from sd card, but it didn't work: it told me BAD regarding the zip file (downloaded from sammobile), then I succeded using odin. by the way which is the correct method?
However it now seems to start, but I get in loops messages from the setupwizard that says the guided configuration has crashed and also from gapps that Google service Framework has crashed (but should gapps be wiped by the rom flash???).
the problem is that the first of the two keeps restarting and crashing so the phone doesn't do anything else then showing this messages.
please help
davide
After you flash Stock ROM via Odin. Remove battery, put it back. Boot into stock recovery - clear user data & cache and reboot. If the same error occurs try deleting /Android directory(old cache) in your sd card.
thank you for your reply, unfortunately it didn't help.
what do you mean by "stock recovery"? the recovery I see, I believe is CWM which I installed before, but I'm not sure.
anyhow from there I wiped user&cache but I had tried this before and removing teh battery didn't make a difference.
I do not have any /Android directory on my SD card.
it's a simple 4GB fat 32 partition with a single file in it (the zip with stock rom I tried to flash before using odin) and nothing else.
by the way, I used odin3 v.1.83 to flash and I selected the file using PDA button,
but I also have "bootloader", "phone" and "csc" options.
what is the difference?
everything I do makes it more dramatic!
I tried reapeating the whole procedure once again, and odin crashed while flashing teh rom. now it doesn't even boot in download mode, it simply asys to connect kies in recovery mode. but kies never saw my phone in spite of driveres reinstallation, and it is of course not seeing it now!!

you should terminate kies before using odin. You can kill it in task manager, because kies intereferes with ODIN.
You should'nt be concerned with bootloader and the other options. As long as ur downloaded stock has tar.md5 extension you just place it in the PDA section and select Auto reboot and F. Reset time only.
Also You should only disconnect when it says PASS otherwise u will brick ur phone.
When u success fully flash ur stock rom, the chance is it will not get to homescreen
So u remove battery, reinsert it, press and hold HOME button together with POWER button, the phone boots into stock recovery, you choose wipe data and cache, then reboot. (chemicalrage explained this)
If it ain't booting into download mode u should go to service centre.
PS: My advice is to stay away from custom roms until samsung releases jelly bean for mini 2, then better custom roms will be released.
Hello to all,
I have some issues with my samsung galaxy s advance i9070 working with stock JB JZO54K.I9070XXLQE. With the rooted phone, I wanted to install CWM and followed the procedure, as I entered in recovery mode and accessed the first .zip file. It started to install. Next step was to press the home screen button and touch the display till the screen will show the new recovery interface. But nothing happened. I forgot to mention that I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache before starting anything.
My phone started normaly but it seems something wrong happened as it was showing some errors about google apps and almost all google apps disappeared. I shut down system and try again the same procedure, but still nothing happened. Same errors...so I wanted to flash the JB 4.1.2 stock ROM with Odin to get rid of those errors. So after I downloaded from sammobile the firmware, flash it, everything went ok till the phone had to reboot...it remained at the black screen showing the samsung i9070 white logo. I waited for Odin to show pass and disconected. Tried to restart but nothing happens. Still that black screen showing the samsung i9070 white logo. I reflash it second time with Odin using other JB 4.1.2 stock ROM. The problem is the same.
What can I do ? How can I fix the problem? I can enter only in download mode.
I'm new with the android OS. Pls help !

Try to wipe cache and do factory reset now again.
Flash again stock firmware with Odin, if you are able to enter ONLY in download mode. Download again stock firmware and compare the dimensions of files to see if there any difference.
Maybe you flashed a corrupt file.

Yes, i can only enter download mode. After comparing the stock firmwares, I'll try to flash again with Odin. It mathers what version of Odin I'm using ? What should I do if it still won't reboot ?
Flash and leave phne connected until reboot and apear the screen with Google account. I don't see any reason to not boot and hope you have luck.

Hey...I've finally managed to flash it with stock JB and the system starts normaly...You were right about the dimension of the firmware package, thanks a lot. That's one part of the problem solved. The other part of it is that the phone still refuses to go into recovery mode. What is to be done now ?
Is there a way of flashing with Odin a Recovery Mod ? CWM ?
Turn off the phone, pull out the battery for few seconds and after that press in the same time buttons : Power + Volume Up + Home.
Remember IN THE SAME TIME must press all three buttons and wait until you feel a short vibration.

Thank you so much. I've done it like you said and worked.

What's the next step to install CWM corectly ?

1-Download and install Universal kernel Flasher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137598
2-Download CoCore E kernel From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
3-Extract kernel.bin.md5 from CoCore zip
4-Use UKF to flash that
Thank you, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341 and all went perfectly.
Now I want to mount external sd card as my phone memory so that all the apps install there (specially the games like nfs, gta ...) What is the easyest way to do that ?
Here the thread with your needs.

Thanks again. I'll try it right away. It could be a problem if I have already an Ext2 and a fat32 partition on my external sd card ?
Please, read carefully that thread for all the explanations.

I have read all the pages, but it dosen't says anything about partitions..It means the memory card should be a normal fat32 partition ?
Sorry, but you must ask in that thread. I don't use that setting and don't know to much about.
I have solved it like this : made a single FAT32 partition. Installed the .zip for change memory, reboot and now my device is showing my 32Gb memory card as internal memory and also installing apps on it. I noticed that some apps or part of them still go in the system partition (not USB storage) cause it fills some of that space too.
Hey guys!
To keep it brief:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Problem: At startup, the boot logo shows up but nothing else happens.
Possible cause: Flashing "cm-10.1.3-galaxysmtd.zip" using CWM Recovery
Debugging results:
No access to recovery mode.
No access to download mode.
No access through ADB.
No access through Heimdall (heimdall detect -> ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.).
No access through Odin.
No different reaction after taking out battery for some time.
No effect of taking out SIM.
Outlook:
Debugging mode should still be turned on (Could help if the connection with the ADB worked).
Search for driver issues (Unlikely, because tried under Linux & Windows).
I hope you have some ideas left for me 'cause I'm at my wit's end.
Many thanks!

use jig to make your phone able to go to download mode.
Search for "Homemade USB Jig" in Google and make a jig using resisters. USB jig assure 100% success if there is not any hardware problem
Yes, jig- or you can buy one on ebay for ca 2€.
BTW, are you sure you have the i9000 and not one of sub-models? Did you check your imei no? If you've flashed i9000 on one of its variants, it is bricked, only service can revive it then. I suspect this, did you flash with succes any i9000 rom before this?
Another question: did you wipe 3x before flashing CM zip file?

IMEI check returns "Model: I9000 Galaxy S" (Sorry, but I'm not allowed to post outside links). I don't think it is a very special version although there might be differences to the american products.
You mean wipe data or wipe dalvik cache? No, I didn't. In fact, I just backed up the whole system using CWM and after that I flashed the ZIP from the internal SD-card.
It might be worth mentioning that this was my first "real" flash since I only rootet it a few months ago.

The point is, that flashing a ROM made for i9000 would cause bricking of any other device. There are about 20 sub-models of i9000 and they all look the same. Therefore it is good if you've checked your IMEI no.
It might be, that your i9000 is in bootloop because you haven't wiped. It is required to do so before flashing CyanogenMod: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Try this trick: remove your battery, keep the power button constantly pressed for 1min. Then while battery is still removed keep 3-buttons-combo pressed (power+home+volume down) and insert the battery while all buttons pressed (acrobacy or using mouth needed), maybe you can reach the download mode then?

I checked the IMEI on "imei dot info" but I couldn't see anything special.
If I ever get this thing back to work, I'll never miss that point again.
Unfortunately, the trick didn't have any effect after several tries. (new acrobatic skill unlocked! )

That's the right one, if it says "i9000 (international model" then we know what do you really have.

Pity it didin't work. I really hope it will work when you get your USB jig. It would be good if you quote my text and let know about the news.
If the jig inforces download mode on your phone, keep in mind that flashing a stock ROM should start quite soon, as the i9000 after some 30sec in download mode "gets sleepy" and often won't react if you're waiting long before the flashing starts. Then turn it off, prepare Odin and turn it on just short before you start to flash the ROM.
Once you retail download mode again, just follow my unbricking instructions in this topic:

PROBLEM SOLVED!
My self-made USB JIG did the job! I managed to flash it again and it luckily worked this time. I'm running CyanogenMod now! Many thanks for your help!
