Good afternoon, I am currently running a 7310 and have tried everything to try and unbrick my device. The only thing I can do is get into download mode and can flash everything in there. I have tried stock ROMS, stock recovery, added a p5_0614.pit file, added the proper bootloader......however I consistently get the SAMSUNGTAB8.9 logo hanging and doesn't go any further. If I try recovery with stock or CWM it just simply goes to a blank screen. If I use TWRP then it launches but it cant find E: it won't mount Data just system. APX is recognised and NvFlash works but from there I have no idea where to go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

I'm not exactly sure what happened, I installed the recovery and then tried to load a ROM, the rom didn't work so the recovery aborted it. Now I can't use my phone other than in recovery mode, when I start it I get a bunch of coloured blocks show. Is there a way to flash a bin without actually having the phone on as normal mode, will the acer tool work if i enable the usb from the recovery?
Hi all you clever guys I need your help!
Yesterday I decided to try making myself a new theme for my O2X and now I'm stuck in boot.
I have flashed my phone many times before but now I feel like an idiot.
Please advice me on how to save my phone.
After making the theme using a theme generator I found here on XDA I installed the zip file via Recovery mode and booted my phone. It then looped in the LG startup image.
I wiped the phone and ran back up in Recovery mode then tried rebooting but no luck.
I have also tried to flash with my last used Custom ROM but the phone is now stuck in boot and only shows the screen with the LG logo and process bar.
Please advice me on what I can do to save my phone.
On top of it all I have a problem with my PC so I can not install the LG PC suite SW and can not connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Why on earth did I do this....
Dont worry at all, are you sure you have wiped your data and cache partition? Do this and then flash some ROM (can recommend latest CM7 build).
If its a no go, you can always flash original firmware with nvflash (there's a tutorial for this, just look it up)
Hope I helped
All you need to do is reflash the current rom you are using now without a wipe and that will fix you problem.
If you get bootloop from something you have just flashed just reflash the current rom without a wipe and that will fix ya problem, for next time hey????
Can you get in to recovery??
Hi
Thanks for your inputs and help! Currently downloading NVFlash on my PC and will try it out.
Yes I can enter recovery by pressing vol down key and power button at the same time. (thank Good for that!)
do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rom of your choice, just make sure you have the correct ext 3 or 4 or you will get bootloop
Ok so I have been looking around for two days now and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I've even searched and tried everything on these forums so please don't ask me to google or use the forums search.
I've got a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M, it was working fine a few days ago and I picked it up to check my messages and it was frozen. After a few minutes I pulled the battery and went to restart the phone.
The phone will now only show the Samsung Galaxy S white logo and simply restart itself and play that logo over and over. If the phone is plugged into the wall it will show the battle charge logo briefly and than restart to the logo. It will go no further than this point.
I have tried to do a factory reset via Home + Power + Vol Up but it seems to reset itself before it will actually load into that menu. Home + Power + Vol Dn will bring me to the download screen which is stable and will not reset the phone.
This is where it gets strange, I have tried Odin and a 100% stock flash on the phone with no luck the phone just sits resetting. After a download of DarkyROM it will actually load the white Galaxy S logo along with the DarkyROM logo and simply go back to resetting.
So the phone is clearly in some state of a working order able to download and accept ROMs but just keeps restarting itself after the white initial Galaxy S logo.
Any and all help would be appreciated! I hope I have explained this problem well enough, maybe it is in need of being brought to a shop to be fixed? Just happens that the warranty expired last week, almost seems coincidental.
Thanks!
After you installed DarkyRom (or any other ROM with CWM), did you try re-entering the recovery menu? Perhaps you will now be able to enter recovery?

No, after the install of the ROM it would load up the white galaxy logo along with the DarkyROM logo and than just go back to resetting itself over and over. I could still go back to to the download but not access the reset menu.

run through My Android Solutions, link below and do the first step after that to immediately to recovery or download mode , than flash a rescue or resurrection kit from My Android collections, link below, all this done without sim card or exts SD card inserted
None of this has worked, I have tried every trick I can find on the net but I can't seem to get it to go.
As before the phone will go into download mode, will accept roms and so on as shown by the DarkyROM logo showing up and going away with the removal of it.
After every attempt I am still not able to get into recovery mode but am still able to access download mode. The phone seems to be in some state of working order but continues to reset itself only when turned on but will run stable in download mode.
ADB doesn't see the device and even if it did I think it would still just reboot once it started into recovery.
It's almost as if the phone starts and after it shows the starting Galaxy S GT I9000 it just turns itself off for some reason
Is their any way to totally reformat the phone and start 100% from scratch without getting into recovery to do factory reset?
Step by step instructions on what to do and download for Odin would be fantastic. I am still not sure 100% on what the PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are or do so the files I need to put in those and a good explanation would be great!
This happens sometime. To fix, Do this.
1. Boot into download mode.
2. Flash stock ginger bread with Odin using 512 pit.
3. Now boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
4. Boot again into download mode.
5. Flash devil or semaphore kernel.
5a note. Your phone doesn't need to be able to boot. All we need is recovery mode.
6. Boot into the new recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
7. Format /system.
8. Flash ROM / gapps etc.
9. Boot with success.
10. Happy dance time, brings good luck.

ok, try flashing a gingerbread Ezboot loader, visit My Android collections, link below, has complete guide at download page
Well I've tried both suggestions with no luck. I am starting to think it's some sort of hardware problem which I can't understand because it is 100% stable and won't reset in download mode. It will accept ROMs and so on but instantly just starts to restart itself after the first logo is shown. No work around will let me into recovery mode and no method I have found so far will just reload how the phone boots. I guess it's time for a new phone eh chaps?

hmm, its strange..anyway, you should remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, and try to use any tool from My Android Collection, to format the Internal SD card and flash a 2e recovery to see , if you can get your recovery back or even a i9000 rescue kit would be good to go after formating your Internal SD card
Formatting you Internal SD card, will resolve any settings, data, delvik cache etc that would be the cause of your initial problem.. there are formatting tools as well a recovery tools that can be used to achieve this
Did u flash the correct stock firmware for ur I9000M? try this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162558059/7efd7bc/I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_VMC.zip.html.
Source : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Ok progress is being made, first I used Odin to load I9000UGKG3-I9000BMCKG3_VMC in the PDA slot without doing a reboot. Then I loaded JPK_Root_Recovery_2e using just the i9000_Kernel and was able to boot recovery.
After doing a Wipe Cache and then Factory reset the phone went back to a boot loop and I was unable to get back to the recovery menu.
After repeating the first steps I am once again in the recovery mode with no boot loot but am unsure as to where to go from here.
Currently the screen reads
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
-------------------------------------------------
E: Invalid command argument

*EDIT* Seems once you restart from the recovery mode it goes right back to a boot loop, was not able to apply the SD card update either. So getting to recovery is currently a one time deal without having to go back and reload VMC and 2e. Once restarted all is lost.
You will need to flash another firmware with 3 file method @odin. Search on this forum a firmware and flash it!
Don't worry, u can't brick your phone that easily. I flashed my phone 10times in a day, for boot loops, when i tried to upgrade to 4.0.4

Ok so this time I used Odin to do VMC in the PDA slot, then I9000 Kernel went back to VMC and loaded that then when I restarted the phone it went back to the same boot loop.
I have no way to clear the internal SD or anything like that because the programs will not see my phone connected to my PC.
What could be causing my phone to just continue to restart?

I gave u a source, download the guide on flashing through odin. It should work. Dun flash 1 file by 1 file.
EDIT : u can find more firmwares here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Pm me if you need any help!
Ok so here is where I am at..
I have tried everything everyone has listed so far. The only think that has made any sort of progress at the moment is going into download mode, connecting to the USB after loading Odin. Using JPK_Root_Recovery_2e I9000_Kernel.tar will bring me to the recovery screen.
wipe cache partition + reboot = boot loop
wipe cache partition + wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
Any of the above mentioned plus loading stock firmware results in a boot loop.
Any of the above mentioned plus loading DarkyROM Resurrection 10.2 will again show the Galaxy S I9000 Logo plus the DarkyROM logo and proceed to boot loop.
Clear cache and factory reset than load of i9000XXJVT pit/pda/modem/csc results in boot loop.
If I am missing something please explain in detail and not shunt me off to some other page.
As before I have tried everything mentioned with no luck at getting past this boot loop. Clearly the phone is able to accept roms and so on so the internel SD seems to be ok but the boot sequence seems scrambled. Strange that it will boot to download and boot to recovery with JPK but upon restart it just boot loops and without Odin and JPK I can only get back to download mode.
Seems to me you also have some partition woes. Try to find an older rom (Milky's worked for me) that requires re-partitioning to be done. Flash via ODIN, wait for 10-15 mins for whole process to complete. CWM flash any rom from there ... (Darky's Extreme also repartitions)
Hi everyone. I have a problem I can't seem to resolve. I tried updating to the OTA jellybean update a couple weeks ago, it seemed to go ok. I then tried to go back to an earlier version of eclipse rom I was using. Now when I power on the phone I get AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure). I can select normal boot and it will go into my ICS Rom that I have loaded in slot 1 after going thru my safestrap recovery program. So the phone is not unusable, just very annoying to use. My question is, how can I get the fastboot flash mode flash failure warning to not show up every time I reboot the phone? I've tried loading the Stock JB Rom from verizon, Blur_Version.6.7.246.xt875.verizon.en.us with RSD Lite, but when I try to extract the files with RSD, I get the error "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing." I just want to be able to get a stock rom back on my phone, without any errors when I boot it, I don't care if I have root, safestrap, or anything else, I just want a properly working phone. Any suggestions how to get rid of the boot flash failure warning? Thanks!!!! Richard
Update.... Looks like I really screwed it up now. Tried to rsd lite a JB rom, got about 1/2 way, to copying system image, then hung up. Now when I reboot, it won't even go into recovery or normal mode... Stoopid operator malfunction..... Any suggestions on which rom I can try to install via RSD Lite to help get it back going? It will still go into AP fastboot mode.
He's dead, Jim. Nothing is working, no rom will load, they either fail or hang up. Now both of my batteries are dead, and it won't even try to do anything. Any suggestions?? Guess I'm in the market for another phone. Maybe some of the gurus on here have some advice. Thx.
He's alive, Jim!!!!!

Thanks to some other posts on here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236980 I tried installing the system and preinstall img files manually thru moto fastboot. They seemed to hang up after a few minutes, but I tried to install the files anyway. Afterwards, I was able to get into recovery mode and do a system wipe and reinstall the JB rom that I had on my SD card. Now a couple hours later, I got the pageplus 4g issue fixed again, and just finished rooting it with the tutorial on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256439.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work.
Hi guys, can anyone pls do help me. been troubleshooting and try to fix this thing for 2 days already.
The problem is, my fon will always boot to recovery. Eventhough i choose restart to system it will always go back to recovery.
I tried turn off, and push the power button only, still it will boot to recovery.
This started happening just a sudden, my fon run out of battery. Then its dead, i recharge. When try boot again the recovery boot problem begin.
I tried to restore my backup that iv made after the fresh installation of the CM13, restoration is good. But it still boot to recovery.
I then tried flashed the original rom with fastboot, ( i can access fastboot via the options in recovery, im using the TWRP recovery.

Hi bro thanks for suggestion, will do try it out. Iv looked at the solution, but it seems that is a problem if cant use fastboot flash with Mi Flash, I have no problem flashing to stock rom in fastboot. Iv used this solution from this link below to manually flash in the fastboot. Its working for people who are having problem of "MI FLASH PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXIST".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/guide-flashing-fastboot-miui-roms-t2938279
But the problem is still it will boot up to recovery also.
