[Q] [I9001] SGS+ bricked/broken - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!

Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.

Try to flash a new kernel, then flash a new ROM. You should be able to get into download mode...

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.

If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.
1.Go to recovery.
2.Format EVERYTHING(data, cache, dalvik AND system.)
3.Download mode
4.Flash broodrom with Odin.
That should work!

Not really, still the same.
My phone still stucks in splashscreen.

Does nobody else know a solution?
I can flash normal, go to download mode easily and everything else too.
It just stucks in the splashscreen.

Follow my tutorial about how to flash back to stock. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44047896&postcount=2

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667

Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?

verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697

I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596

@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!

suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this

My Optimus 2x is in a boot loop, help!

Hi,
I have a problem with my Optimus 2x, it is rebooting without end, like in a loop !
1-the phone turns ON, the LG logo appears
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
2-then the scrolling image appears
3-then after 2 seconds, the phone automatically shut itself OFF
4- and then the phone automatically turns ON again. We are looping back to 1- without end.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I have important Memo notes and sms I don't want to loose !!
For information, I have this phone since April. On May, I have rooted the phone using Super One Click. Since then the phone was working perfectly. I never flashed a ROM on the device. The problem happened just after a normal usage of the phone.
I really need your help..
Chris
Not sure why this would happen on stock rom with normal usage I've only encountered this problem after flashing other roms, I used nvflash but if you go down that route you will lose everything. Tried battery out and sim for a few minutes?

It was a stock ROM with normal usage. To be precise the problem arise, just after I selected the autorun option of the application Total Recall.
I have tried battery, sim, sd-card out, no success, the phone did not boot normally (not even once). As I can see nvflash is not an option as it is erasing everything.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply.
Kdz is only LG's firmware format.
All LG's phones can be flashed with kdz file by kdz tool (aka kdz updater).
Refer to this.
And Kdz tool at here.
and you have to need some kdz file for your p990.
(I have not but someone has it.)
In my case(su660) the type is "CDMA" and phonemode is "CS_EMERGENCY".
Request someone's advices more for p990.

Boot into recovery (holding Volume down and Power button) and factory reset, had the same problem yesterday when flashing CM7. Running fine now
I have looked at Smartflash, it is for flashing the Baseband (not the ROM itself), that means the software that has the GSM driver WiFi driver.
I don't see how Smartflash could help retrieving my phone with the important memos and sms.
Given that my phone is not booting, what can I do to retrieve the important memos and sms?
No, Smartflash will install stock ROMs in a .bin format as well.
Can you boot to recovery? (hold power and vol-)

As I have the stock recovery (the standard one that you get when buying the device), what will happen when I boot to recovery ? (does it do full erase of data?)
Four months ago I have rooted the phone using Super One Click. But I did not changed anything else: the recovery and the ROM are still the stock ones.
Yeah to the best of my knowledge, if you try and boot to the stock recovery, you will just get an automatic factory reset.

[Q] Boot loop, can't connect to odin and other problems.

Hi, first of all ,thanks for taking your time to read this.
Hopefully somebody here can help me find a solution.
I have tried many searches here, and on other forums. I've spent hours already on google but I just can't find a solution to my problem(s).
I decided to completely wipe my phone through ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 as it had been running quite slow. I performed a data/factory reset and I wiped cache partition, Davlik cache and battery stats.
I reboot the system and it was stuck on the boot screen with the samsung logo. Every time I tried to reboot it was the same. Removed battery, same. My laptop and Odin also won't recognize the phone even as a storage drive. Navigating to storage through ClockworkMod shows "unknown volume for path"
I have tried everything I could find information on to get the phone to boot but nothing works. Is this a common problem? I really have no idea what to do next. Do I have a brick on my hands?
Thanks.

Can you go into download mode or not? I had almost the same problem, then I tried to install cwm using odin but it turns out I used the wrong version of cwm recovery (not for use with odin). When I pressed start in odin and it said "FAILED" I thought I just had to disconnect my phone and try it another way but it turns out I now don't even get that logo. only a weird phone image warning image and computer image. meaning the phone isn't connected to the computer.

And when i reboot the device, it got stuck on the logo. Tried several times but didn't worked.
Finally i solved the problem by flashing bootloader via odin accessing download mode using three button combo. I am not an expert to solve your problem but i hope this info helps you...

Hi guys,
First of all: I'm italian, sorry about my bad bad english, I'll try to stay as straight as I can.
I'm in need for some help about an issue with my SGS, and I think it's a problem we can relate with these you posted before.
Long story short, I've got a loop problem as well.
I had mounted cyanogenmod9 on my phone, and It worked perfectly until last night, when i did simply try to charge the battery and the phone started looping over the charging mode (it was off, the battery was completely empty before I plugged the phone with the charger)
No recovery mode available, at the time.
So i decided, as long as download mode was working to re-flash with odin the ClockWorkMode recovery.
And...it worked.:good:
But now my phone is still in loop, because as jabrif said:

Make sure your laptop has a latest version of odin and samsung drivers. Remove your phone battery for about 2 minutes. Insert it back and press and hold vol-down, home and power buttons. If you can get in to the download mode the device will detect in odin.

Question about unbricking

I was trying to instal CM rom on Galaxy S using clockworkrecovery. Unfortunately, after installation and reboot, the phone gets stuck on CyanogenMod boot screen, then reboots again.
I understand I will need to get USB jig (no key combination, or usb cable trick worked).
Does that mean I will lose all my data on the internal SD card, like photos and TitanumBackup files?

You probably didn't install the CM exactly as described in the guide (opening post) for your device. Usually, it requires full wipe: wipe data/factory reset, wiping cache and wiping dalvik cache (in CWM recovery under "advanced"). Right after that you can install the CM zip, and after tge CM you should also install gapps for that CM version as apps for another android version won't be compatible. As you didn't write which CM you flash, I can not tell you which gapps do you need. If you can reach your CWM recovery now, just do as described and you will obtain the CM system.
You shouldn't lose your photos that way. If you want to install CM10.2 build, wait for next nightly as the nightlies between 24 and 26 Aug could format the internal SD, that is now sold and will be OK in the nightly build 27th and onwards.
After booting in your new CM system don't ever try to restore apps made with Titanium backup in another ROMs. It isn't compatible anymore with the CM. Install the apps simply again downloading them from play store.
If I could get into recovery mode, or even download mode, I wouldn't need USB jig (and I am still not even sure that will help).
The rom I was installing was cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip
I formatted system, boot, and I think everything else except for the sdcard.
Now the phone is stuck on CyanogenMod logo, which appears just after Galaxy S logo. Then it waits 10 seconds, and reboots again.
Is the phone and/or data on the sdcard gone?

Just flash the CM 9 ROM twice, it will bootup, so long as you did not format SDcard, everything in it will be there

Thanks, but I don't think we understand each other.
It is impossible to enter recovery or download mode. Maybe USB Jig will let me enter download mode.
The question is - when I recover the phone using Odin in download mode (I think I need to select 'repartitioning' option?), will it erase internal sdcard?

Don't do it, it will screw up your phone! Don't EVER check re-partition if you don't flash also PIT file for your device!

Can you or can you not enter download mode with 3-buttons combo?

Try this:
remove the battery
keep power button pressed for about 30sec without battery
use 3-button combo for recovery mode and insert battery again while all three buttons are pressed (acrobatic thing)
Is recovery mode accessible again?
BTW you will not lose your data (photos) unless you format SD card. Let us see how to unbrick your device now as first. If you didn't backup your data, you must live with possible loss if it happens.
One more thing: please quote my text if you want me to answer (or anybody else) or reply the post directly on the button "reply" just beyond because otherwise we don't get any notification so it was pure luck that I've found your new post here by browsing....

OK, then buy a jig for i9000 on eBay (it costs less than $2) and connect it according to the manual (I think the device must be turned off and after connecting it, you must wait for about 10sec until the download mode appears)
One important detail, but important nevertheless: is there still some juice in your battery? You must be sure of that, because maybe only battery is empty. Try to charge it by some friend who has the same telephone.
Let know later whats's up. Just have some patience now, mate.

Yes, battery is full. When I turn it on, I can see "Vibrant Samsung" logo, and shortly after "Galasy S syanogenmod" logo. Then it shuts down, and turns on again.

Wait a second, mate: Samsung Vibrant is SGH-T959 and we are talking about GT-i9000
Are you absolutely sure you have SGH-T959 and did you try to flash on it some build for GT-i9000 maybe? It is a non-excuse mistake and you will be lucky if anything revives your Samsung Vibrant now....

Your main concern seems to be with regards to data, now it all depends on which data, for instance flashing with or without partitioning, will only erase/change the Android folder on your SD card, so if your concern is with regards to app data, game data , sms, contacts, call log etc that will be gone by flashing.
Your camera images, music, video will not be touched and whatever other folders in your SD card will remain as is, if you had earlier CWM backup etc will be intact.
If you had debugging ON, and IF your phone can still power ON, you should try ADB push/pull to recover whatever you want first before flashing. meaning you can recover sms, phone contacts etc. so try powering ON your phone and connecting USB cable to PC while Odin3 is running on your PC. IF Odion3 detects, than you can try ADB method.

I am absolutely sure I have GT-I9000. So it says on the back cover, and under the battery. Plus, I am in europe where there is only I9000 version.

No, ADB is gone. That was the first thing I tried. The phone doesn't get that far in boot process.

Sounds bad....
I think it is really the best you can do to try it with the jig now.
So you should get your device into the download mode. After that, we can say you're on safe side again. I would save now battery juice and wait until the jig is there.... (or make one yourself, it's easy and there are video tutorials how to do it)

[Q] re-post: gt-s5830 stuck at bootloop

Hi, I am reposting here because I posted in the wrong section. If any action is required by me to have a better troubleshooting, ask please!
Hi, after one year using CM7, I decided to go back to stock rom on my galaxy ace. After flashing with odin, I keep getting stuck on a bootloop. I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset but the problem persists. I tried unbranded stock as well as wind and vodafone, but the phone keep bootlooping. I also tried again with CM7 but the phone doesn't boot again. Please help, I believe the phone is ok but I don't know how to get out from this situation. I read several forums and all of them suggest to factory reset it, but this procedure seems to not be effective on my phone. How can I solve it?
I'd like to provide more detail in order to give a more complete description but I'm not able to know which error messages are given by the phone...I just see the samsung logo. I'm quite a newbie but I have a lot of experience with computers and electronic devices, so if anyone can point me the way, I can easily learn how to do...

thank you for answering. anyway I already did these steps for the whole last weekend. I tried no-brand stock rom, branded (wind) and various versions of android (2.3.3, 2.3.6, ...) of course I have countlessly factory reset the phone but the result is always the same: samsung logo loading and reloading till the end of humanity.....
any other option?
I forgot to mention that I've followed this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-in...mware-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-using-odin/
I found many smilar others on the web but the procedure is the same. Download .tar.md5 from sammobile and then flash with odin 4.38 using cooper_v1.0.ops
....but the phone keeps bootlooping.....
......time for my phone to be launched into the trash bin?

HIT ThaNks
Hi, if you can access in recovery mode, do a wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset;
flash another ROM for S5830 model, for example S5 reincarnation;
later flash with odin the stock rom,
wipe cache and do a factory reset again;

Hi, i have the exact same problem with my coworkers Ace gt-s5839i !
His Ace crashed in normal use and was stuck in a bootloop after the crash.
I looked up the internet and tried the factory reset/wipe without success.
Then i tried flashing several firmwares for the 5839i and even 5830i fw´s with odin v1.87 and 3.10 (took me 2 days to figure out that you need to split the fw files with odinatrix for flashing... ).
But still everytime it either freezes in a black screen after the samsung loading screen (after the model logo followed by the branding/animated Samsung logo) or shuts off and starts over the bootloop.
Is there a chance that this error is hardware-sided ? I wiped everything countless times but it doesnt change anything. What else could i try ?
I would love to get some suggestions that could do the trick !
Sorry for hijacking this thread but it fits perfect to my problem

Hello
Well Actually if u can clear the EFS of your phone and the eMMc, it would work normally.
#Flash a Custom Recovery using Odin
#CWM much better. Go to Advanced and clear the efs and emmc there.
#Normally flash the Stock Rom using Odin or Heimdall

the version of CWM you have flashed for your cooper doesnt seem to clear the Emmc and Efs etc.
If your device doesnt boot up to Download Mode then Force boot it using Heimdall Rescutor and flash the stock rom using the same tool or Odin.
In odin tick the option of NAND ERASE ALL.
Still doesnt work give me a ring on +918715031141

No Recovery, No installed ROM, No ADB, No Fastboot, Nothing

Alright. I know I'm stupid. So basically I flashed BlissPop on my Moto G 2nd Gen nearly a month ago. Everything worked fine so far, I flashed TWRP and BlissPop onto my beloved Moto G. I started getting a few issues with BlissPop so I decided to switch to CM12.1, so I downloaded CM12.1 [Titan] and tried to flash it using TWRP.
So this is where all starts. I got an error flasing the zip-file (I can't remember which error it EXACTLY WAS), but I already have wiped data, dalvik and even system without knowing, so I tried this again. This time, I accidently checked nearly everything to wipe off. So my phone turned off obviously and I couldn't get it to turn on again. It's basically hard-bricked. I found a tutorial here on XDA showing how to recover the Moto G into Stock-Android 4.4.4.
The problem is, it uses ADB. My phone isn't able to boot into recovery, not even into stock-recovery, there is literally NOTHING on my phone. My PC detects an unknown USB-device, when plugging in via USB-cable.
To sum it all up: My phone has no recovery mode, TWRP, ROM/OS, just nothing. It won't even boot up, but my PC detects it as an unknown USB-device.
I'm basically too stupid and way too poor to buy a new, good phone. So I'm asking you guys if there is any possibility to just get my phone into recovery again (no key-pressing combination works). :crying:
If you need any extra information, feel free to ask me, also I'm thanking you guys in advance, even though I'm pessimistic regarding this problem. :silly: :laugh: :crying:

Have you tried booting into bootloader mode? Hold the power button and the down volume button for about five seconds and release. If nothing happens, then I don't know.
I did the same thing...you're going to have to flash everything via fastboot. Or you can try ADB sideload, sideload work perfectly for me. I wiped everything off my phone accidentally.
Add me on skype illumanati22 I can help you
The best you can do is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
follow the steps
But first of all , install the Motorola driver! (if you already installed , delete it , and re-install it).
And follow the steps from the guide!
This Guide is my always rescue kit!
After you're done , then if you want to install a rom , you must root it .....

You're pretty ducked. I'd recommend returning it and act like you're dumb to the customer service people. If you can't boot into anything, then you can't even repartition stuff.

Alright so, I basically re-installed drivers, plugged my phone into my PC. Still, nothing happens, BUT - when I go into Hardware-Manager, it shows 'QHSUB__BULK'
I still can't boot my phone into ANYTHING though.
