[Q] DOFT or Semi Bricked phone, Download mode possible.

Hey folks, yesterday i accidentally flashed a theme that didnt go well with my rom and now I am stuck on the bootscreen "Samsung Galaxy S" Logo....
anyways, my laptop recognizes the phone and I can also get into the download mode,
what are my options from here?
I need some kind of program like odin right?
- Also semi-flashing-noob here -
any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

dont panic its no problem.
many of us get boot loops when flashing themes. do you have recovery mode ??
if so, try to flash the theme again, but before rebooting, wipe cache / dalvik cache and see if it boots then.
if not just do a factory reset. that should clear it up.
ODIN should be a last resort, sometimes it is not necessary to use.

thanks for the quick reply,
how do i get into recovery mode? the 3 button combo was volume up + home + power right?
cause i tried various combinations and could only get into the "Download mode"

yes volume up is recovery, volume down is download mode.
if recovery dont work, then you will need to use odin.
you will lose all your data so i hope you made a backup
there is a reset button under the back cover, in the middle of the camera and the speaker. this may fix your problem, but i have never tried it.

[Q] Did I brick my SGS BT-I9000?

I Have a similar problem as posted by someone else - but I can't reply in that thread yet so here it is:
Also SGS GT-I9000 - now stuck on white logo screen.
What I have done:
- phone was slow and very laggy so I wanted to install new ROM
- found out that 3bc didn't work so tried to fix that using a guide from SamsungGalaxySforums based on one from XDA (tried to post the link, but forum rules won't let me).
- now download mode works but recovery mode still doesn't.
- when rebooting without being attached to laptop it showed funny coloured lines first
- I tried this whole thing again and now my phone is stuck on white logo screen. Still able to get into download mode and flash, but no booting phone.
Any ideas? Should I flash a different bootloader?
EDIT: I had tried the Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 bootloader and only got coloured lines.
Now using the EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5 bootloader and getting a bootloader screen. Now making a backup of all my data first.
EDIT: After backup still hangs at white Galaxy S screen - so still no working phone! Ideas?

Turn off your phone and reboot into the recovery mode by pressing Volume UP+ Home + Power.
Then when in the recovery, select Wipe Data and Cache. Reboot when done. You should be up and running. Also, first boot may take a while so be patient.

It says in his post, recovery wont work, only download.
Sounds to me he has screwed up the bootloader.
Now you've done this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989
I now suggest you boot to download and flash a stock rom using ODIN.

just flash stock Rom using Odin and than you can flash what you want

[Q] re-flashing recovery...

Hi,
I've got a gingerbread ROM installed, and am having a problem with CWM.
At the moment, all I get is the options to boot WebOS, boot CM, WebOS recovery, shutdown, or reboot.
I have no options to mount storage or flash files, and have tried to re-flash CWM a number of times with no success.
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?
Also, if I go into the USB mode (power + vol up), on exiting this mode, the Touchpad won't do anything for about 10 minutes plus - just black screen & nothing happens when I press power button, or any other combination of buttons.
Help would be appreciated, as I can't install new roms etc from CWM, which is quite annoying!
Thanks!
EDIT: I've managed to fix this now - sorry for post! Cheers, and feel free to delete this thread.

how you fix this ?

[Q] S6500D doesn't boot nor get in recovery mode

Currently the phone can't boot normally or into recovery mode, it only boots in download mode.
I think I've tried to flash like 10 firmwares from sammobile.
The problem started because I was on the CM10.1 rom and I tried to flash a stock firmware so I can take the SIM-lock.
I think I forgot to clear cache and Dalvik cache from CWM before I flashed the firmware.
So, after I flashed the firmware, the phone bootloops at the Samsung boot animation, and if I try to turn on the phone with the VolumeUp+Down + Home + Power combination, it doesn't do anything. The battery charges, there's no hardware issue, and the phone is detected by Odin ( if it wasn't, then how could I flash the firmwares? ).
EDIT1: If I hold them a little longer I get that RamDump thing.
EDIT2: Looks like I don't get the thing mentioned in EDIT1 again.
Thanks in advance.

Vol up+down+home+power= no recovery. Do some research before asking! Just go to recovery wipe data.

Re: S6500D doesn't boot nor get in recovery mode
I think I was misunderstood.
Wasn't the stock recovery combination VolUp + VolDwn+Home+Power?
I'm talking here about GM2, not the original one, where I think it was Home+Power.
And, as I said in the OP, I can't get in stock R.M. or a custom one.

Yes, I missed that you have stock recovery. Because you can have CWM+Stock ROM.
Nowdays I'm DERP. Maybe because I have almost no free time.

I think I realized why the phone acts like this: I forgot to wipe data before flashing the new firmware.
So the question would become like this: Can be data wiped from the computer ( e.g. using Odin or something like that ) and if it can be done, how to do it?
EDIT: I've Googled it, looks like I can't. But I guess there are some firmwares that delete everything, am I right?

I don't wanna bump, but...
Help?

After I flashed CM10.1 I wiped data, but it looks like I forgot to wipe before I flashed the stock firmware.

[Q] Stuck in first Cyanogenmod boot?

Hi guys, first time posting here, sorry if a question like this has already been asked but I've looked around and haven't managed to solve my problem yet.
So I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Mini II (GT-S6500T) and used Odin 3.07 to install ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 onto it; I then booted it into recovery mode and installed ZIP from SD card, selected CyanogenMod 10.2 ("cm-10.2-20131202-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip"), followed instructions etc. installed Google Apps and all that.
Now, when I selected to start up the phone again, it just gets stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot screen, the blue arrow just circles around on and on (I understand that it usually takes a long time but I don't think it's meant to take over half an hour... also, every now and then I notice it kind of makes a low vibrate sound?).
I've read that to fix it you can reboot it into recovery mode and reflash it but the problem is I can't even get into the recovery mode. If I force the phone off (e.g. by removing battery) and hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Home + Power to boot recovery mode, nothing happens. If I just hold Power it starts up and goes straight into boot sequence.
I do have a backup of my previous settings and all that saved - one saved on my external SD card and the same file saved on my computer, so if I can somehow load that back it would be great I guess.

I mentioned earlier I cannot enter recovery mode. When I hold the button combination to go into it, nothing happens.
Earlier I managed to get into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power) and I reflashed a stock firmware, but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the Samsung screen and vibrates every now and then. I still cannot access recovery mode.

Managed to fix the problem but thanks for the help anyway. Followed one of the solutions here and removed everything, held power for 1 min, plugged my phone into the computer and managed to get into recovery mode. From there I did full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format /system (probably only necessary to do full wipe but I dunno), then restarted into download mode and used Odin to reflash stock rom, then reloaded recovery mode and reloaded my backup.
edit: My question now is, I'm not sure what I've done wrong in the process of installing Cyanogenmod to screw up this badly. Is it absolutely necessary to format /system before installing it? I did do full wipe, cache and Dalvik cache and mounted /system prior to rebooting and loading Cyanogenmod.

what i do > install rom > reboot > install google apps .. I had this problem aswell a while ago. what also can be the problem is when u don't format correctly..

Have You as well was unable to go into recovery mode and stuck on bootloop ? One thing I can do is to use Odin, tried to flash some stock firmware with no result. Still no acces to recovery and still Samsung logo loop. I searched, read many topics but nothing helped. Is there something except Riff Jig that could be done ? Thanks for response

-Flash stock rom via Odin
-Flash cwm via Odin
-Pull out battery
-Connect phone to pc (without battery)
-Wait until screen turns on
-Hold recovery combo keys until samsung logo shows (home+volup +voldown +power)
-put battery back quickly
-You should be in recovery now :wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
-Reboot.
I was in similar situation, if not identical. This worked for me. Good luck.
Edit: I didn't see you fixed it already. Ignore the post.
