Need to know what is your phone model and the ROM you are currently using. Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rooting kernel from My Android Collections to get CWM

phone model is samsung galaxy s I9000M , i know it was gingerbread 2.3.3, i think that i acidentaly download a wrong firmware and now i cant turn on mobile, cant even reach "download mode"....is there any way to unbrick it, or something else?

try the solutions to get into download mode in My Android Solutions
once in download mode flash i9000M with root from My Android Collections
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....
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

i should try with jig first, if jig dont help me then i should try jtag and software based ressurection, but i dont know what is jtag and software based ressurection, Is software based ressurection the process that follows after jtag, or are separate processes?????

but almost every rom i try (mostly jelly bean and ics roms but also some gb ones) give me n error
when i try 2 install them through recovery mode,
i get error status 7, installation aborted
now i looked for this problem on the internet and it appears there r some solutions found on this link:
http://www.knowtechbetter.com/how-t...ry-cwm-while-installing-flashing-custom-roms/
however i did not understand any of this
i m not new in installing roms and such but i m not very femilier with all these "more complicated" things
i noticed at the comments that the first solution helped someone
and it looks easy, if any1 could explain me shortly how do i do this this would be very helpful.

i have faemod v1.2 based on cwm 5.0.2.7 ..
and honestly i dont know which threat you are reffering to

Cyanogenmod 10.. There is a link to CWM..
On the wiki page (see the index i made) you can also find CWM and an installation guide.

so now i cant do anything..
also i tried rom manager but it just opens recovery mode for me
any way i can return to an old verision of recovery w/o using the reovery mode so i can go back and install the touch verision this time?

maybe im doing it wrong but odin doesnt even recognise the file.. and there is no guide there
i did try a odin flashable cwm V6 but its stuck on "setup connection" each time i try..

Le tips:
- Patientce
- Remove and replug device
- Reboot device
- Use another USB port or cable
- Turn kies of (ctrl+alt+del > Taskmanager > Procesess > Terminate anything with KIES in its name)
- Turn AW/FW off

Just flash TWRP and you're good to go

dude im fricking out..
i accidently soft bricked it and now im trying 2 flash it back 2 stock with odin through your guide
but odin recognises my pc recognises the ops file as a text file so odin doesnt even see it...
u gotta help me ;_;

hey man relax... in wiki page you'll find cwm5.5.0.4 flashable zip and you can install it from recovery ( even from stock recovery if i remember corectly)... if you can't acces your phone you can copy it from pc to phone using recovery ( mounts and storage )... if you are stuck in recovery( you're phone boot in recovery only ) you'll need to flash the bootloader using odin.. also you can find the steps and necessary files in wiki and in cm10 by ivendor in firrst post ..Good Luck !!!

1: How did you softbrick it? What did you do, because I thought Odin got stuck??
2: You do see an Phone an ! and a PC?
3: You do have the latest ROM by Samsung and the correct AriesVE.ops?
If yes then we can get started. Follow my guide, when odin gets stuck at System (for a long long time > You know this because the green balk with time gets stuck) unplug device, reboot download again, reboot computer, and try again with BroodROM RC5 (see index)... (BroodROM RC5 is a last resort for our device since it has fixed many softbricked one including mine)

aaaand that's what happens when you start flashing random stuff to your phone without knowing what you actually do...
Ok, I wont tease you or anything, here is what to do:
READ THIS
THIS (all stuff from there, doesn't matter if you don't consider it necessary, you surely will in the future)
After you read all those and understand everything, flash back to stock using @mrjraider tutorial, it's a clear step by step one so follow every step.
Now, the thing is that you'll need CWM Recovery, not FeaMod which is only able to flash GB ROM's.
The most stable CWM recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 you can find it at the bottom of the OT from this thread
HERE is how to flash CWM with Odin.
Please, pay attention and don't rush things up. And next time you have a problem post in an appropriate thread don't open a new one and especially not in the dev section, see this
Also, no user "gotta help you" you've chose to flash tings to your phone, if you mess it up, it's your own failure and nobody 'MUST' help you... (see this)

i did try using his guide and i folowed it step by step
my only problem is that odin gives me that message i showed in my last post..
also untill i fix this soft brick i cant move on to recovery mode so
i need 2 fix that first..
the guide doesnt show anything related to what im doing wrong..

Someone with brains would have removed odin, and the ops file and redownloaded it again. Also save those on your desktop

Thank you brother, thanks so very much.
I just have another question, now how do I get back to stock ROM? Can you direct me to a guide that tells how to do it via heimdall?
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and don't want to run Odin from wine.

I flashed Repair kit for M110S through heimdall suite. The Download mode has changed to korean language and now whatever combination I press it goes to download mode even by simply pressing the power button it goes to download mode.
Can you help me with that?
Should I try again on Windows OS with Odin?

First I hope you had ensured that it was actually an M110S and not another variation of i9000
yes, Korean phones always have everything in Korean, but once having a boot-able ROM, you can use settings menu to change to English. which repair kit did you use? , as long as its in download mode you should be able to flash again, either with Odin3 or heimdall. also what stage of flashing did you complete .
just flash again but make sure you have ample battery charge, as power failure or pulling out usb connection can break the bootloader and you will have a big headache , hard bricking it and only a technician with JTAG can recover it.

Yes, I can only access download mode now it doesn't go anywhere else. I completed all four stages but as you have shown in the picture it didn't go to that update screen.

Ok, when you complete first stage does your phone boot up using the Eclair ROM? I normal circumstances it should? you say you completed all four stages, , was the flashing completed as successful in ODin3 and your phone rebooted into download mode?
If so try and check your USB port on your phone if you have any lint or anything that may be shorting them and did this phone got in contact with water?
cause what you say is rather strange for any unit as a successful flash can endup in some sort of boot process and never into download mode.

Firstly I flashed all the files through heimdall in ubuntu not Odin3.
And at no stage it returned any error. At the first stage the download mode was in english on the phone, it had a yellow triangle and below it was saying "downloading" after I flashed the korean .pit file the phone rebooted back into download mode but the text below the yellow triangle was now in korean. After every flash the phone returned into download mode.
I checked as you said, the problem is before I knew the "Home + Power" button combo to access the download mode the phone booted to Samsung screen and hung there and now it goes no where except the korean download mode.

Deleted!

Okay I've figured out the problem with my phone.
When I was on the first stage when I entered the m110.pit file along with the PDA file. The PDA file had a movinand.mst file, while flashing with odin3 it got stuck on the movinand.mst part and remained stuck forever so I plugged out and restarted in download mode.
I did some googling and found out that this problem is related to internal memory damage or corruption or something like that.
Anyway I finally found out a GB file on some forum I don't remember and flashed it over my galaxy S and it kind of worked. When the phone is powered on it goes to the 'samsung anycall' screen and stays there for a while and at the bottom of the screen comes a progress bar, when it goes full the bootanimation comes up and the phone boots into the ROM. Now the problem is there is no internal memory so no apps are downloaded plus whenever I restart the phone it comes to that samsung anycall screen with the progress bar and then the bootanimation but the phone starts as if it were new, like the initial setup accounts and all and also reverted back to korean language. Is there anyway to fix the internal memory problem or any alternative?
Thanks once again for helping me out this much.

Can you tell me what actually is written under your battery ? as what you are indicating about this units behavior is rather strange and have not come across this on an M110S, and mind you I have help a lot of people to solve their problems on M110S units and tens of thousands had downloaded the repair kit from my upload site. Why I am asking is because I am in doubt as to what is your model? is it an M110S, or i9000 variation or a chinese clone?
this must be cleared , in order to get your phone functioning as remedies for it will vary
Hey. Now I tried flashing with odin3 and here's what happened:
1. After the first stage it should boot into eclair but instead samsung anycall screen comes up and then it goes into recovery with the following output:
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
ok this means you have a cache partition problem , meaning stl11 is the cache partition that is not mounting as such you cannot boot, so lets try this ( remove external SD card, sim card etc and Flash the cache.rfs as below..flash it twice and let me know the result.
Problem:- Getting this when you boot
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Solution:- Flash a cache.rfs file meant for your model as PDA with Odin. For i9000 i9000 cache.rfs file, For M110S M110s Cache.rfs
or Flash a Rescue Kit from My Android Collections

2. I proceeded to the next two stages and flashed the files but still the same.
well, when you get a problem like above, there is no way it can boot until it is resolved, but its has booted into recovery, that is what it should do, not go into download mode.
3. When I press the power button only it goes to the samsung anycall screen and then same happens what i described in 1.
Suggest you flash the cache.rfs for M110S, see if it solves it, If not repeat stage 1 again using the repair kit with the PIT and repartition TICKED using Odin3 see what happens.

The scam artists who have converted M110S to i9000 use I9000GSMH and will not indicate the FCC or SSN
yours says its an i9000T and there is such a model, look http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000T
so best to check your IMEI number , follow this link to identify your model
anyway so long as your phone works its not a serious problem, but wrong ROMs can give you differing problems so ensure your unit is M110S before using solutions in PIT STOP

ok, the ROM you had flashed is obsolete, you nee to flash WF07 ( download link in PIT STOP) but before you do that, go into settings>storage and erase SD card, and Format where possible also you must follow the instruction given in flashing guide ( First post concerning repair kit) to the dot, meaning you need to factory reset (settings >privacy) as well as wipe everything and format everything prior to flashing WF07 and also wipe again after flashing.
Only after this you should look at other problems ( Internal SD card)
Its also best to USE the repair kit again and after flashing Ist stage , flash the WF07 ROM ( its the best ROM for the M110S)

[Q] [HELP] Samsung I9001 impossible to recover :(

Hello everybody,
Ok, here's the deal, my samsung galaxy s plus (I9001) is in a continuous bootloop of the samsung logo, doesnt charge, no recovery mode, and the only thing i can use is download mode.
So i've tried flashing inumerous ROMS (stock and custom ones) and nothing works, i've also tried to replace the boot loader but still nothing. I've also tried to see if the problem had anything to do with the eMMC, and once again i failed. Oh, and i also tried to unbrick it using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216996&highlight=userdata+img+ext4
I can't really deal with this by myself cause i've tried everything i could and still got no progress whatsoever.

Thanks for your response! I'm going to try it, i'll post the results later. THANK YOU! :angel:
[UPDATE]
I've flashed the CWM like you said but the phone still doesnt boot into recovery. I couldnt find the odin version on the link you wrote so i used this one:
"cwm 6037:
http://rapidgator.net/file/6ccfef8e2...31dfeec6711b72"
dont know if it changes anything, i'm just saying so you understand the procedure fully.

Ok, so I tried a couple more times and the phone still doesnt go into recovery. All i see is "Samsung... Samsung... Samsung" and it's tripping me out.
Please help me out, it's been really frustrating cause I've tried EVERYTHING and still no progress has been made.

I know i've been using the correct keys, i've confirmed before, started doubting about that a while ago but everything is alright and the keys are not broken :s
Also, i cant use the repair tool cause the phone doesnt even turn on. It doesnt do anything besides the samsung logo and download mode. Nothing.
I've tried those and still nothing.
Any other solutions? I'm so sorry for being a pain, but the phone isnt helping, i already thought of throwing it against a wall but it wouldn't do much good. Thanks in advance, once again.

The reboot tool, will do the job from your PC, as long as you can enter download mode and connect to odin, it should be possible, did you try it?

Than the only other option, is to use a Riff box, meaning you need to take it to a mobile technician to try and flash the board internally., since nothing works. sorry, it could be due to hardware failure, since software solutions are not working for you.

Thanks A LOT for your help

[Q] Gt-I8190 partitionning lost. Please HELP

Hi guys, newbie here trying not to brick my s3 mini any more than it is.
It all started with the lack of mobile signal, so i changed the sim card-didn't work
After a hard reset it got worse, as i got a black popup on my screen :
PDA: I8190XXAMG4
Phone : XXXX
CSC : NONE
H/W : Not Active
EF Cal Date : NONE
SMD : 01N, PBA : 04N
CAMERA : N/A, FrontCam : N/A
TSP : 0X11
TSK : 0x19
Band : GPRS, CH : N/A
UART : N/A, USB : N/A
Also, the phone will not go in recovery mode anymore, only on download mode.
I tried flashing a stock firmware with Odin, but no change. The thing is, after the phone restarts, it loses any settings i made (like wireless password, google account, etc), so if i check USB in debugging mode, after restart it will be unchecked again, so for that reason i'm not sure if the reflashing worked.
In download mode it says:
custom binary download: no
current binary:Samsung official
system status: official
At the bottom of the page: HW REV: 0x5
As far as I understand after reading the forum for about 8 hours, i've lost the partitioning of the device.
If any of you has any idea what i could do, please advise.

there are a few threads on how to fix your problem
some more reading involved

refer to the threads on loading stock ROM using ODIN
those will provide you with the information to repair the phone in it's current state
you will then be able to fix the partition

Ok. So I tried numerous times to upload the stock software but absolutely nothing happens, even if ODIN says that the upload was successful. As soon as the phone restarts, it loses any settings i had done, including USB debugging mode, so maybe this is why it doesn't work. I tried selecting a CSC, but after restart it's still:''none''.
The thing is that wireless is working, so i can connect to internet, but i cannot download and install anything (no space). I will try and download an emulator via PC and put it on a memory card.

Of course, it won't read my memory card :|

all settings are ok, so flash it via Odin
AND start Odin as Admin dude

I even tried with a pit file and re-partition checked. No result.

Just flashed again with Odin started as admin. No change.

i had similar problems a few months ago. So what did i do:
download the " i8190_buttonenable_cwm6.0.2.7.tar " from HERE (see attached files) and flash it via Odin (as admin)
download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from the same side and follow the instructions.
you will get a branded lafleur rom (russian), set it to your language at setup.
put any rom as zip you like on your device.
reboot into recovery with vol. up + home + power
fullwipe and flash any rom (as zip) you want.

Just tried that, it didn't work. It's like i didn't do anything at all.
I just can't write anything on this thing
Anyway, thank you very much, guys. Any more ideas are welcome :

Was i supposed to have F. reset time checked as well?

actually given the fact that he has lost the partition those setting are not enough in my opinion
i would say load up the pit file as well as enable re-partition

I did load the pit file and enabled the re-partition. It just doesn't change anything.
This last week it was taken back to the place i bought it from (pawn shop ), and of course, they all say (the experts they took it to) that i did something to it, and it can't be fixed, and of course it's my fault.All i did was to reset it.
Anyway, I'm still hoping to get it fixed myself, with your help, guys.
Thanks.

You still got that FactoryApp popup on screen?
Are you rooted?
Can you enter recovery? If so, what recovery do you have?
