Before I startת I tried to find this problem also search on Google and here but could not find any information about this problem.
This night I did not put the device to a charger because he had already 90% battery, so I left it disconnected,in the morning I got up I saw the phone is turn off, I tried to turn the phone light up and the ATT screen turn on,
I went and when I came back after 10 minutes I saw that the phone is still stuck on the "Galaxy S" screen.
I removed battery, changed, and it's still stuck.
I'm running version CM7.1,
The phone can get into the recovery menu.
Can anyone help me?
I do not understand in the android system and I don't have any backups of my pictuers...
Any chance to save the phone?
update: I search for a solution, and found on the CWM the option of "Mount USB storage" and I copied my pictures to my computer...
so now my new question is how can I get the phone to turn on again? only format and install new rom?
I can use CM7.2 zip file and install via the recovery menu?
you can go to cwmr and can do a data wipe which will uninstall all your apps and data but will not touch your sdcards
You won't lose your pictures on the sd card. If you are still stuck, try wiping dalvik cache from recovery
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
I have a similar problem. Like eidoll32, I did not plug in my cappy and when I went to turn it on the next day, I was only able to get a boot loop at the AT&T screen. Currently, I cannot get into recovery, but only download mode.
I originally rooted the phone with the Galaxy_One_Click_Root tool, and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 for the captivate, when CM7.2 went to RC1, I flashed that from CWM, doing a full wipe. Later I wanted to try ICS, so I flashed AOKP - captivatemtd - M5 b30, doing a full wipe (twice).
That's where I was when this happened, and where I am now.
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 Guys,
So i've been away from flashing ROMs for awhile but have been playing with my HTC one and have had no issues until today.
I downloaded the new ARHD, put it on my SD card and went to install it. Aroma played nice for once but as soon as it started installing and doing the full wipe the phone rebooted. So i tried again with the same result. In the end i passed by the full wipe option and managed to get to the final step of rebooting and then it would freeze which it did 3 times.
Now i can see the ROM but i can't mount the SD card in CWM to put anything else on there so my phone is useless. I am not really experienced with ADB having only used it briefly with my sensation a few years back.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
connect phone to comp, open cmd in folder that you have rom on computer (cd/location/here/rom.zip) then do (as long as you set up adb correctly) adb push rom.zip while selecting flash rom from sideload. cwm will do the rest.
I think all that happened was Aroma crashing every time. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it sounds like to me.
Hi,
I cannot get the phone recognized in fastboot, if i let the phone start to boot i can see my device.
Sorry if this isn't clear

If it got all the way to the "Reboot Phone" stage--meaning that the phone wiped and installed the new OS--you should be fine to boot the phone up normally. I'm sure you have, but have you tried just powering it up and seeing if it'll load into Android? Reminder: First boot after a new ROM always takes a few minutes.
Hey guys,
So i ended up continuing to flash it trying various options and eventually it came up ok... The scary thing was the random reboots during install whilst aroma was trying to wipe everything...
But all sorted, thanks everyone!
Hello Everyone,
I have a Motorola Atrix HD MB886 and have been successful at unlocking the bootloader. I want to upgrde the rom from 4.1 to 4.4. Every article that I have found says start in restore mode and gives directions on what to do. Well the first 3 steps are there with no problem but when it says to "Wipe Dalvik cache" and to "Install zip from SD card". Those features are not there. I do have a feature that says install from external SD card but it does not see the zip file. So I have taken another approach. I have installed an app called Rom Customizer and it does see the package and again it informs me it need to boot in recovery mode. The phone just sits there and displays the android logo with the red triangle but never does anything then reboots as normal without applying any changes. What am I doing wrong? I will admit I am new to this and this is my other phone. When the logo appears are my supposed to do something? If I do go into the recovery mode I still only have the same options as before so am I leaving something out? Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance....

Do you have a custom recovery? philz recovery is the best for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686374
My moto g xt1063 keeps rebooting but I can't figure out why. Sometimes it goes to the home screen and works fine for a few minutes before rebooting again, most of the times it gets stuck on the bootloader warning screen and reboots. I can access recovery though.
I had planned to install cyanogenmod on it a couple of months ago but I got stuck on an "Error updater binary in zip" so I just gave up. The device is running Official Rom provided by Telcel (México) and has SuperUser on it too, I had a notification about the binary but updating didn't fixed the problem.
I have a backup on my computer (mac) but since I can't get the phone to sync by usb I was wondering how to copy it via recovery (clockworckmod v6.0.4.7) or if it's best to buy a micro sd and try to install from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First try a factory reset.
Use an sdcard yo retore backup
If fail return to stock rom
If you have a recovery installed try to make a backup from there and save it in some place like a sd card.
After that I suggest you install CM 12.1 21/05/2015 and look how it works.
Or if you prefer then reinstall the stock rom.
