URGENT!!! Phone won't go into recovery or download mode! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I would like to please request some help here with my Galaxy S I9000...
So I was running Cyanogenmod 10.1, Android 4.2.2. All was good.
I rebooted into recovery.
I backed up my rom and data.
Wiped/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped Dalvik cache.
Tried to install a Cyanogenmod 7.2 ROM. Install process finished in about 20 seconds. This striked me as not normal.
installed GAPPS package. Again, installed quicker than ever.
rebooted, hoping for the best.,
Boot loop.
The way it goes:
Turn phone on -> shows samsung logo. Shows modified samsung logo with cyanogenmod logo below.
Then, I see a quick flash of something from Clockworkmod recovery, then it reboots. restarts.
Tried entering recovery, but didn't work.
Tried entering download mode, didnt work.
Tried several methods here, didn't work.
Please help, need my phone ASAP!!!
Thank you all in advance!

Cheers mate... Tried methods, but didn't work.
Would using a JIG work to get it into recovery?

yup, when all else fails, JIG would be able to do it, which was also listed in the link I gave you earlier, you can even borrow one near you

[Q] SGS Not able to boot after re-partitioned..

After flashing MIUI Jelly Beans I wanted to go back to stock 2.3 ROM to check on something and did a restore with CWM which didn't work because (as I've learned later) it uses different file system, anyway I've flashed s1_odin_20100512.pit file alone with Odin, and the result is that I can only turn the phone on in download mode.. What can I do now?
Thanks to everybody in advance..
I've tried to flash stock ROM using the method mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
and after finishing, Odin gave me "Fail".. What does it mean and what should I do now?

you have KIES running in the background shut it down, get solutions from My Android Solutions for Odin stuck
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power
button for a minute , than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you
have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing
Thanks a lot, and yes Samsung Kies was running in the background while I was trying to flash, I'll make sure it is shutdown this time, anyway the battery is almost at zero now and the phone isn't charging, so I'l have to wait for a friend who has SGS until tomorrow so I can charge the battery and try to flash the phone again.
On the other hand, I remembered something that might be important, which is that my phone have problems with internal memory (when you have error messages like "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"), not sure if it had something to do with failing to flash stock ROM besides having Samsung Kies running in background (because I got stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin only one time), so there might be something else ausing these problems..anyway I'll try to flash it again tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Look at My Android solutions again, for other problems, when you Flash bootloader, tick update bootloader too
when you Flash bootloader, tick update bootloader too

You mean during flashing the ROM right? or should I flash bootloader separately?
(I didn't touch my phone yet, still waiting for my friend for recharging)

yup, just tick it, can be done separately too
Thanx a lot, the phone is working again, it turned out that you must use Windows account that have administrator privileges in order for the flashing process to work (not sure though cuase I've tried admin account after restart, so may be restarting PC was the answer)

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S1 I9000 Stuck At Galaxy S Boot Screen Can't Get Into Recovery?

Hey,
I tried flashing a new kernal via Odin but my laptop switched off halfway through and now when I switch on my Galaxy S1 (i9000) it get's stuck at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung screen . I can't get it into recovery although I can access download mode and it is recognized in Odin. I think it should just be as simple as reflashing the PDA, MODEM and CSC file through Odin although If anyone can help me acquire these stock files or by using any other methods to restore my phone back to normal It'll be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ainaa

you can get from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions or use a rescue kit
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3
Thanks for all the help guys but still no luck .
I've tried what you've said xsenman by using the ezboot recovery tool although its still not booting up. It gets to this screen and then stops;

Just go into download mode and flash the ROM again for your Model , all ROMS, are available in My Android Collections
I've flashed the EZboot recovery and then I installed the CFRoot rom although it still keeps getting stuck at the start screen. During the Odin flashing part it says it's passed with no failures but it still won't start.

Mostly if I go back 2 stock it takes Max 20 min. When it pass it should reboot from itself
It still isn't working Donovan, thanks for all your help so far though, any more suggestions?
Does it pass in odin? Does it reboot after pass, does it install something after Samsung logo? Or does it reboots and hangs in Samsung logo right away?
It passes in Odin and then it just hangs at the first boot screen like the picture on page 1. I still can't get into recovery and for some reason to get into download mode I press the down volume key and the side sleep button without having to press the OK button.

Weren't you flashing stock ? Which version did you use ?
Try use a different variant of fw with Odin and remember not to tick any checkboxes other than the default ones !
Yes i was flashing stock JW4 its not the first time of done this and this is not the only phone i have flashed..but this is something different its never happened before, could the internal SD be dead? :S
i tried different firmwares too and a different odin version but i always got the same result.. so please help me :/
Google emmc dead and you will find a method to test it via adb just to be sure !
after i tried different things the phone wont even boot up now..so i guess its dead..my last hope to get it running is the usb jig ( it wont even charge )
Maybe try pit file and boot loader but with extreme caution ! If you can get it download mode with jig

charge your battery externally , most likely your battery ran out while flashing , use solutions in My Android Solutions
nope..it wouldnt even start charging or anything..

well you need to buy a external charger or charge in solar charger or something. when this happens in flashing or booting bootloader stage you have limited options .
look at 25) Problem:- Phone completely DEAD, Not Charging and NO response, only this SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D in My Android Solutions
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back

Help! Getting TWRP on this damn phone...

HELP!
S20 FE 5G SM-G781B.
I am at my wits end here. I have tried and tried, but, nothing... tried flashing TWRP with Odin multiple times (and versions), get a A-OK, installed fine, then try to boot into recovery... and it's just standard recovery.
You must disable auto reboot in Options tab in odin.
I've done that. No Bueno. I've been (trying to) follow this guide, but when it comes to the "press Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button to enter Recovery" it just... doesn't work.
EDIT: Well, with USB connected Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button just dumps me in Download Mode...
Try volume up+power only.
That just boots me into the standard recovery.
Thanks for taking time to help me, btw
Try another version of odin then
I SWORE I had tried different versions of Odin.. I have 3 versions downloaded (3.10, 3.12, 3.14). Odin3 v3.12 did the trick... somehow... so far, so good. But of course, when one problem seemingly gets solved, another one arises...
I can't find the zips (multidisabler-samsung-2.6a, Magisk-v21.4) in TWRP. I'm about to chuck this stupid phone out the window.
EDIT: I hate this stupid phone. One step forward, two steps back...
does usb connect to computer?
Yes. But when I connect in TWRP I just get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And I can't copy any files to the Internal Storage.
Connecting 'normally' I can access my SD card and Internal Storage as normal.
It seems like the TWRP fried something on your phone......Does 'adb push files' work(I can elaborate on this if needed)
Figures Hope it's nothing irreversible.
The TWRP I'm flashing is twrp-3.5.0_10-2_afaneh92-Q-r8q. You know if this is the right one?
What android version are you on?
11
Then you have used wrong TWRP, as expected. This is the right one:
twrp-3.5.0_10-2_afaneh92-r8q.tar | by mohammad.afaneh for Galaxy S20 FE 5G
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Friendly Remind you that you need to reboot directly into download mode and flash this recovery(i.e.AVOID booting into stock rom)(Surely, disable auto reboot)
Q means built for Android 10 and R means built for Android 11.You used 10 TWRP on 11 ROM so it is buggy.
Good to know about the Q/R difference, thx.
But flashing the R version yields the same results

Nooooo! That may really be a irreversible damage. Try factory reset in TWRP or/and reboot into stock rom, which may help.

Maybe more than figures. The whole data partition can be corrupt. Factory reset (format data) in TWRP for android 11. Hate to say but you have to say farwell to all your files, to say the least.
Meh, I don't have any data worth saving, so that's no biggie... I just want to root this damn phone...
