Long shot but read this
not found any responses. Here is my situation:
*My computer recognizes the phone *ODIN recognizes the phone *the phone is in download mode *ODIN gets stuck *I have tried multiple times, but it continuously gets stuck at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! *The max I have waited is around 30ish minutes *3 button combo works on my phone *I have tried non-one click ODIN to JH2 and it freezes on modem.bin
I have used ODIN before, and I have no idea why this is not working. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Try rebooting your computer. Then try again if same issue then
Also maybe redownload the rom software in case of corruption
I am not sure of this but at this point might as well throw that in.

Ok borrowed sisters Laptop downloaded all files and did process over and worked like a charm first time, must have been problem with my desktop wow, my question now is do I have to update to JH7 to root and flash serendipity or can I do it from the current JH2.Mcord thanks for you help I really appreciate it
If you have the update.zip on your SD for clockwork recovery I believe you should be able to get into recovery reinstall packages twice then install zip from SD choose serindipity and flash away
If you dont have it let me know I will post a do link

Hello I am new here ;P
Yesterday my phone won't boot anymore so I kinda had a problem. The software I had installed was:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-4-ics-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
I was trying to get my phone back working and looked up some guides online. I tried to use the same guide I used before ( up here) but that won't work. So I kept looking to get my phone back working and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
I picked this one:
I897UCKJ3 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
And just put my phone in download mode and installed it.
My phone booted again and I was able to use it but now I have some major issues..
- My home button is not working anymore.
- My back button works like a home button and closes all my apps
- The volume buttons don't work anymore
- When i plug it in my computer or the outlet to power it, it turns off. So I can't take things of it to my computer
Also my 3G isn't working anymore. I can't use it anymore now and I have no idea how to fix this :S IF anyone has a solution that would be great.
Otherwise I will try to bring it to the store..
Use this Odin or Heimdall i897ucKK4 One Click. It will do a full wipe and will get u back to Stock GB 2.3.5

But I can't get into download anymore since my buttons aren't working properly :S
Also I can't seem to charge my phone anymore and the battery is low atm..
U got a Jig ? If not, see my signature link below for a link on where to buy or how to make one.
U could also try to clean out the micro usb port and try a different cable.

Have you tried only using the down volume for recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yep. Good call ko. .... Since he flashed i9000 firmware and it may have included bootloaders (i didn't look at the link that close)...
Download = power button and volume down together.
Recovery = power button and volume up together.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If I hold the power button + volume down it shows me the At&T logo and then just starts up my phone without getting into download mode! :S
Try the above download method with ur phone powered off if u didn't already. If a no go then try below...
Open Odin or Heimdall (whichever u decide to use), Pull battery, replace it and cover, connect usb end of ur cable to the pc (not in a hub, but preferably a port in the back of the pc), hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone. Does ur phone go into Download mode ? If so, proceed.

My model number is SGH-I897
I'm gonna try what you said now
EDIT:
Okay I did what u said and my phone got into download mode!
I downloaded this file :
I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe
And Odin found my phone and I pressed Start
It now says SetupConnection.. for about 5 minutes
How long do I have to wait?
If still no progress...U can stop Odin and completely start over as i outlined. Try a different port and/or different cable.

Be sure to have a constant power source and a reliable cable when flashin bootloaders. During the few seconds it takes to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, u don't want to loose power or usb/micro usb connection.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Okay I did that and I manged to install that one click i897uckk4.
It installed the new software and all my apps are gone again but still the home button is not working and the back button still closes all my apps.
And for future reference, once u have these bootloaders flashed that r included with the kk4, there should be no need to flash back to stock with bootloaders again. If u ever need to flash stock i897 firmware again, just use one without bootloaders.

Yes. That was a full wipe firmware.
Not sure why ur home button is not working and back button acts like home button ??? May be capacitive hardware issue ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have no idea why these buttons are doing so weird but I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem because only when I installed this they stopped working. Are there any other versions I can try like the one I had before or would that totally destroy my phone?
I was trying to follow this tutorial to get it back running again but since I couldn't get into download mode I never did that:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-1-galaxy-s-i9000-install-remics-jb-rom/
Can I just follow that guide now or would that get into trouble with the stuff I just installed?
^
U don't need to flash that stuff in the guide u linked, because that is only for i9000.
There are other firmwares u can try to flash in that thread where the kk4 is located. Just use the ones without bootloaders.

I installed the one without bootloader but still same problem with the buttons. And what do you mean that I can't follow the tutorial because it's for the I9000. I have a I9000 right?
U said u have an i897. That is a Captivate. I9000 is not the Captivate.

It says i897 on my phone but maybe that's the software I installed because I looked up the Samsung captivate on google and that's not the phone I have. I have a I9000 ( samsung galaxy S )
Maybe that's why the buttons are not working?
Any idea what to install for the i9000?
Btw 6 months ago i installed this:

There's isn't a ''Best'' Software per say. It goes to user preference but I highly recommend AOKP or AoCP (Both on Jelly Bean).
I have been using zeus v7.6 perfectly untill today. While i was texting someone the screen started wobbling arround. (behaving a bit like the windows xp error message when you move it arround and it leaves a trail behind it). i tried restarting in recovery mode but freezed on the lg logo, having a small faint wite line at the bottom of the screen. I have tried smartflash tool with no succes, and i have also tried the script from the cotkey, but it gets stuck at the first step. Also, i cannot interact with the KDZ updater ... I could really use some help, as i cannot afford a new phone :-/

great, lg emergency recovery tool tells me this model is not supported for upgrading =.=
Similar problem, I was on Huexs´s 6.4, was rooted, recovery was working, then I flashed v30d by tantrums, was using it without problems, then some problems with sd card, from that point I am not able to run recovery, so I tried to flash patched v20 with Smartflash, but when it goes to rebooting, it always stay in bootloop. Only way for me is flash v30b, then root it with Unlockroot, but thats all, I can normaly use phone rooted, but I am not able to push to phone recovery image, so I can not flash any zip file ( like new kernels. etc.).
Managed to flash V30b
i managd to flash the v30b by the kdz updater but... Everything was working normally. I shut off the phone so i can go to sleep and i put it to charge. the picture i got is the lg logo with a white faint line down the bottom of the screen again. I unplug the charger and remove the battery. The next morning it worked perfectly again for aprox. 9 hours, that i was at school. Then i try texting my gf and the pictures below show what happened... WTH? Any help would be deeply appreciated :-/

@robusto try flashing v30B. then root your OB and flash TWRP recovery. You can do it like this:
1. Install goomanager
2. Open goomanager and provide root permision
3. Hit menu and choose 'Install OpenRecovery'.
Now you have TWRP Recovery and you should be able to flash any .zip file.
It worked for me.
(or you can get twrp recovery just by pushing the twrp recovery image file using terminal emulator).
Good luck!

Only I am not able change kernel, what could be phone speed up, but nevermid. I can live with it. Only can be good to convert some kernel.zip to same file, whitch can be flashed with kdz flasher or smartflashtool. Anyway thanks for ideas.

HeinekenAmstel, try to left out of phone the battery for one day, then try to flash kdz v30b for your country from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1, but connect phone to PC without battery in. And may be is good to do it on PC with WIN XP. For me this is working better then on PC with WIN7. Good luck.
Model: LG-P880g (the Canadian model; originally from WIND Mobile)
Software: V09b (LG Updater thinks it's V09a, this was pre-release testing software, it never got flashed to release software)
I've been trying to work towards CM10.1 on this thing, I've rooted the phone, and I when I was trying to create a ROM backup using ClockworkMod, (ROM backup -> confirm, etc.) when it power cycles, I see the LG splash screen with:
[LGE_SECURITY] ERROR: boot image signature
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002)
And any attempt to enter Android Recovery fails and gives me the same result. However, by removing the battery, holding power, and reconnecting the battery, the device will power cycle twice, then go to the WIND splash screen and boot up normally. But still any attempt to reach Android Recovery puts me back in the same situation.
Is there any way to recover Android Recovery? Can I do it without risking a hardlock?

Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
