Semaphore logo - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I have a BIG problem: today I've try to install REMICS-JB 3.0.1 rom, but unfortunately my phone starts with the logo "SEMAPHORE" and I can't enter in recovery menu by pressing the home, vol up and power buttons. I can't enter in download mode too (home, vol down. power), cause the logo remains on the screen. any ideas on how to solve this problem?
thanks.

Pull te batter and reinsert it, then try to enter recovery again. Try full wiping then reinstalling.

[Q] Phone stuck on first boot screen after flashing DarkyROM 10.2

I have have flash many roms in the past without a problem so I am relatively experienced with it. This last time that I flashed it has become stuck on the first boot screen that shows GALAXY S GT-I900 in white and 'powered by DarkCore...' etc. I realize sometimes it takes a while for the first boot when flashing a new rom, bu this has been over 30 mins. I decided to try and boot into recovery and re-flash it, but it won't boot to recovery! I hold down volume up, home and power and it just cycles between screen off and the first boot screen and never gets to recovery. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to fix it I would love to hear it. I fear something bad happened somehow.
Use the android SDK to boot into download mode via ADB or buy a jig from eBay if download mode isn't working dude, or you can try this....take battery out, hold vol up + home + power, and shove battery back in, it does get fiddly so its handy to have someone to help lol

I haven't faced such a prob. So I don't know if this method would work but someone else also suggested the same method to the same problem in a thread so giving it a try won't be a waste!

vol- & power doesnt boot into recovery

I rooted my 2X with super one click and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 using rom manager. I used the rom manager to reboot in to recovery for the first time, then I tried to boot into recovery by holding down vol- & power but instead of taking me to recovery it gets stuck at LG logo. I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
Any one got a solution for this.
It works now, I just kept holding Vol- & power button for around 10 secs after the LG logo apeared then released and it went to recovery.

It isnt rom manager is an app that lets you quickly reboot to CWM witput pressing any buttons
Yup, this was the first time I tried to boot into recovery manually. These apps are no use once you flash a new baseband using smartflash as it will do a full wipe of the device and you have to enter recovery manually.

the tricky part is to release the power button at the right time, or immediately the first menu item (= reboot system now) will be executed.
You are absolutely right, I just released the buttons as soon as the LG logo appeared. As a result it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery.

hisham i did the same but my phone is stuck on the logo too....i tried to boot in recovery mode but its still stuck/////
Try booting into recovery again, this time hold the Vol- and power button a little bit longer (maybe 15 or 20 secs) and also try updating CWM to the latest using ROM Manager.

my phone has stopped booting all togather!! i m on stock....
I dont have a clue whats going on but you can use smartflash to restore the device to factory. If anyone has a better solution please tell.

Give this a try
Same here
I have almost the same problem. That is, when I try booting to recovery from ROM manager, my phone is stuck on the LG logo (red one), but when I try holding vol- and power button to boot into recovery it just does a regular boot.
I recently went from CM7 to a new stock ROM using Smartflash tool, but I want to change back due to lack of apps available.
I have also installed CWM from the AIO-toolkit for P990, but this didn't help. I still cant boot into recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I want to flash a new ROM rather than the stock LG one.
with CWM 5.x.x.x you have to push and hold both power an volume- and after CWM screen is started DO NOT release the power button first but release the volume- first (keep powerbutton pushed all the time) and push volume- once so it does not choose the reboot option.
Then release both buttons, "scroll" with vol- or vol+ and "enter" with powerbutton
First time i used the CWM5.XXX the "reboots" did drive my creazy
Occurred to me too and solved flashing TG v28g (which has root and recevery attached).

[I9001] Phone stuck in bootloop

I don't know how the issue started. I have been using CM10 for almost 2 months without issues. I restarted the phone and boom! It was stuck in a bootloop with that boot animation keeping appearing all the time. I tried a factory reset, flashing the ROM again, flashing another ROM, and even flashing the stock ROM with all the images using ODIN. It was still stuck on the boot animation. I was surprised that the last solution didn't work because everytime I did it, the phone recovered from the bootloop.
I can still enter into download and recovery mode.

Samsung GT-I9000 boot into recovery mode after pressing the power button
Not sure it is the same problem or not, but my phone (Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000) keeps booting into recovery mode everytime I turn on the phone by pressing the power button. I tried to root with the stock PIT file and stock ROM or CWM recovery and stock ROM or any customized ROM, such as CMD 10.1, but it still boots into the recovery mode every time I turn on the phone WITHOUT using any combo keys, e.g. VOL down, Home and Power buttons).
The thing is that the recovery mode is not looping. Basically, after I press just the POWER button, the phone boots into the recovery mode and stay there.
Please help!
Many thanks!!!

Hey you are gonna want to flash a stock image using odin which will solve your problem. There should be a guide somewhere
My problem is solved, I had to go to "Mounts and storage" in recovery and choose "format /cache"

What you have to do is to flash the boot loader, I had the same exact problem and this solved it. But our devices are different so I don't think my boot loader will work on yours.

After I flashed either stock or custom ROM, the phone reboots right into CWM recovery mode and stays there???!!!

Can you get into recovery?, hold power, volume up and home. Also check if power, vol down and home get you into usb download mode
I can only get into download mode with the three buttons. I can't get the recovery.
