Looking to root/new rom girlfriend's old phone, can't get it into recovery/boot menu.
I'm aware that the method is meant to be volume up, home button, power. I've watched videos of people doing it and read guides, pretty certain I'm doing it right.
I've done it keeping them held down the whole time (until Samsung galaxy screen cycles) and also releasing the buttons as soon as something comes up on the screen (as the youtube videos I've watched seem to do).
Have rooted my own phone and flashed several roms, so I'm moderately aware on this whole situation.
Running stock rom, I think Optus. Firmware 2.1-update1. So I think I need to update before rooting.
Download mode doesn't work either (volume down).
I also can't get it to appear on computer. Samsung Kies detects that the phone is plugged in but just keeps trying to initialise. I have downloaded Samsung Galaxy S x64 drivers from softpedia, tried to install driver that you can download as part of Android SDK. And hence, I have tried Android SDK but it isn't seen when I run 'adb devices'.
I set the USB mode on the phone accordingly. There actually was one point when the volumes were picked up on the computer, with USB mode as mass storage and debugging off, but it never happened again.
I've used two different usb cables, micro usb from Nook, new HTC cable.
Hope I've put through all the right information, really appreciate any help, this is getting frustrating.

You need to use an original Samsung USB cable or Huawei USB cable as most others will not work , for better reference visit your wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series as how to enter download mode
for USB problems and solutions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
thanks for the reply. The USB mounting is now working on another computer, the drivers must be confused on my desktop.
Surely micro USB cables are mostly electronically identical?
Currently trying to install 'Kies' on netbook... maybe that will work.
Reckon the boot to recovery command from Android SDK is my best bet?
Thanks for the wiki link, I hadn't come across that

Pin outs on micro USB cable varies and most differ from samsungs, have tested them ...laptop do function better when it comes to flashing Samsung phones , you can download Andro platina from My android collections link below for recovery or download mode
Ok, I will have a Samsung cord later. If Android SDK stuff doesn't work I'll take a look at the tools you linked. Nice collection.
hmmm got the cable, and android SDK picks it up now, "adb devices" returned an item for the phone, and adb reboot recovery and download worked.
Went on with the directions here: [can't post url, but the cyanogen mod Galaxy S full update guide], got to the end of "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery". On running point 6, phone just loops the Galaxy boot screen.
Guess I'm gonna be looking at more of these tools, and hoping that some can operate while it's booting....
because the button commands for recovery and download modes don't work.
well ..... looks like I'm doing the usb resistor jig to try to get into download mode

Try pulling out battery, than pressing power for a min, remove sim and ext SD card, before trying again for download mode...look at Quick Fixes and Solutions link below, as IF you are flashing ICS from GB, you may need to flash it twice

i had the same problem as you! but i had 3bottons combo working, so i entered recovery and it was a new cwm(5.x.x.x) wiped data/factory reset and cache, flashed cm7 againg and then it worked. here on the forum there was a guide to get the 3 bottons combo work but i cannot find it anymore. I hope jig will help you, also if you want CM7 ask to someone more experienced then me to buil odin file for it! so you can flash it with jig!
ok I have the usb jig working. I'm pretty sure that I do have CWM installed, I just can't get into recovery mode, only download mode.
I'm a bit unsure where to go from here. I think it's Odin, but I don't know what version to use. I want to use the most up to date method possible, that's why I'm trying to use the established Cyanogen Mod guide, but now that I'm using a workaround it doesn't apply to me I guess.
I'm going to be trying to get the right version of Odin and find a guide for it (probably from your tools xsenman, thanks) but if anyone would like to tell me precisely what I should do I would appreciate the peace of mind
.... far out these recaptchas are difficult. Can't wait till I'm proper member :S
Can I use Heimdall to boot my phone into recovery mode?
EDIT:
Pretty sure I can't do that now. I've had a look through the heimdall commands now (ie read the help text from the command line). So far I'm looking for something that I can use with the flash command, to either get me back running factory, or allowing me to get into recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698 this was promising, to use Heimdall to get back the 3-button recovery mode, but the links are dead.

You can use any Odin, look under Recovery kits on My android collections for guides and kits that will get you to a working Gingerbread 2.3.6, You need to do this before you try for CM and Quick Fixes and Solutions link below have guides for Recovery and Download mode problems
Nope heimdall is a flashing tool, view Quick Fixes and solutions for recovery options

yeah but... the links inside. I'm not game to just try to download files that I think are the same
now something seems to have broken the tenuous driver situation I had going on. I got the files for EzOdin in your guides, but it doesn't pick up the phone. Neither does heimdall, even though it used to
alright, I'm done!
In the end, here were my problems:
Flashing Clockwork Mod 'bricked' the phone putting it into a boot loop. This was because I was meant to be on 2.3, but I was on 2.1 (I think).
I couldn't easily escape boot loop, because this version of the Galaxy S didn't have the 3 button method to enter recovery or download mode. This is somewhat common, especially in Australia from what I've seen. I had to enter into download mode by using the usb jig where you connect a 301k ohm resistor between pins 4 and 5 of the usb port.
It took me a loooong time to progress from here, but I think the main cause of this was usb drivers. I think for most people it will be plug and play though. The thing that got me there in the end was the right combination of uninstalling, and using the driver tool with the Heimdall suite.
I ended up having to install another rom via another method, to give me access to recovery mode, so that I could then install CM 9.1. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792, and had to get the files from ,https://www.dropbox.com/s/d382m2kyorzum16/ezbase recovery kit gb.zip (hopefully that's still up for future readers)
Then from download mode again, I had to redo the kernel flash using Heimdall, as described http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide.
I had problems here where I thought I was on clockwork mod but wasn't, and hence the packages were read as invalid (I guess it was expecting a Samsung/Optus one). But with that kernel flash, now that I was [*actually*] on Clockwork Mod, the Cyanogen Mod zip was recognised properly and it installed
Hope this helps future readers, and thanks for the help.
Hello.
I recently installed CM10.1.3 on my GT-I9000 running stock GB. I did everything according to the instructions (though, mind you, this was not my first time installing a ROM just the first time on this device).
When I booted and tried to set up a CM account it gave me a message saying "Insert SIM card". I tried installing the kernel again, as well as installing other ROMs (AOKP mostly).
Nothing seems to work. It will simply not recognize my SIM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

since its the first time on this device, can you check IF sim card is inserted in the correct direction
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
Yes. It is.
Might be also worth mentioning that I tried it with a few different cards, all of which work with other devices, and not with this one.

you can try taking it back to stock ROM , you can follow this but it sounds like you may have hardware problem, if that fails as sim contacts can get broken or damaged too and can be replaced. so best to test with Stock ROM to check if its a software or hardware problem. also try to flash without SIM card and insert after flashing and first boot.

For a clean install and root, flash JVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU
The whole procedure is given below
FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:
1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect
2. Turn off your phone and put it in download mode
by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so
continue..if not do it again...
3. Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.
4. In ID:COM it should go yellow and you should see
ADDED in the message box
5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT
button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
6. Click PDA button and select :
CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
7. Click PHONE button and select:
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
8. Click CSC button and select:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar
9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,
Click Start and let it Run
10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone
(computer will make a few noises like connect/
disconnecting
11.Unplug the Cable to the Phone
You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting
Procedure for rooting:
1. Power Off Phone
2. Download CF-Root kernel first.
Unzip the file to a folder. You
will get the .tar file – CF-Root-
XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar
— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract
the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip
file, which it is not). You need to flash
the .tar file using Odin to gain root
access and install the ClockworkMod
Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re
getting zimage file, it means you’ve
extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s
not a right thing to do.
3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —
Press and hold volume down+HOME
+POWER keys together.
4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-
CWM3RFS.tar
6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.
7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.
8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and
clockworkmod based recovery has
been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy!

But the hardware was functioning perfectly well before I flashed. Why would flashing a ROM damage my SIM contacts? (or any hardware, for that matter)?

I assume you have a software issue, that's why I asked you to revert to Stock ROM after you confirmed the SIM card was not inserted the wrong way round. , only IF the sock ROM also gave you that result than you need to consider hardware, as I have not heard of anyone having this issue after flashing CM 10.
AS for PIT file its in 4Shared site, all they would require is you should be a member and register with them ( you can do that with any name and password) the ROM site is FileRio, there you should only use free download button , clicked a number of times ( same button) for download to begin, both uploads were by me, so its virus free. I will upload pit file to the thread asap as its very small file.
EDIT: already uploaded PIT File to thread uploaded 3 PIT files in a package used for i9000, only use 512

Hey. Thanks again.
One more problem, and it's a big one:
Odin won't respond to my device. No yellow rectangle, or any kind of response...
What can I do to make it realize that it's there?

the guide to solve such problems is right on top (begining) of that thread
Note:- It's assumed that you can and know how to connect your Phone to PC with USB cable . If you do not know, first install Samsung USB drivers on your PC/Laptop, than enable USB debugging on your phone by settings menu>Developer options> tick USB Debugging. After this use only Samsung USB cable and plug it into your phone micro USB port and to your PC USB Port. ( Always use the Back USB port on PC as some ports may not connect well enough for flashing ROM's. )
If unable to connect your phone to PC for any reason, refer to this guide

Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
I tried everything in that guide, and it still the same.
Might be worth noting that the computer totally does recognize the device. I mean, I can access the internal SD from the computer, when the phone is on. It's just that when I connect it in download mode, Odin doesn't respond.
Might also be worth to stress that I used Heimdall to flash the recovery, when I did it. Could it be related to why I can't use Odin now?
And another thing regarding my main issue - could the "Insert SIM" message be a modem thing?
The password for XXJVU is samfirmware.com
If you are still unable to open this, then download XXJVU by Google searching and then try. This is the best way to get rid of the problem.
If you are able to go to download mode, install USB drivers for Samsung and restart PC . Now exit the Kies program and its related services from your PC. If you are using windows, you may find the tray icon and exit by right clicking. Now run Odin and flash.
If you are not able to go to download mode then search "homemade usb jig" and use the jig method described in those threads.
I'm trying to download the XXJVU again. Will see how goes.
I am able to go to download mode. So that's not it. I also don't have Kies installed on my computer, so that's also not it. I installed a few different Samsung drivers, and did the whole process a few times. The computer always recognizes the phone, but Odin doesn't.
I don't get why I can't delete stuff, if I accidentally posted twice. Anyway - feel free to disregard this one. Sorry for spamming..
OK. Managed to open the XXJVU.
Still have the problem with Odin not paying attention to my phone being there. Do you think it might be a problem with dl mode, that I should try fix with a jig (the phone does act LIKE it in dl mode - yellow triangle and all...)?

You seem to be having strange problems. I assume you pressed the correct combo keys ( as shown in image on that thread) and you did not get download mode ( this could be due to ) you don't have an i9000 but a different version of Galaxy S? or your keys are not functioning or you have a wrong bootloader
so use this methods & tool from PC to boot into download mode after you are sure you have an i9000 international version by checking under the battery. just to give you an idea , read this
Odin will only connect when phone is in Download mode, so as you mentioned you have NO problem with drivers and PC, its only your phone not being able to enter download mode.

I will try the ADB solution tomorrow. But doesn't the fact that the phone displays the download mode screen say that it is indeed in that mode? (because it does display it, as I mentioned above). I mean - is it possible that the phone seems like it is in download mode, when it's actually not?
Thanks!

hmm, i got the impression that you are not getting the download mode display , if it does than it is in download mode, so now you need to check your Odin3 download, what version are you using , try and download again and always use fresh Odin3, meaning, if it had a problem or even when no problem restart it a fresh. And best install Samsung USB drivers again ( link on that thread), if that did not solve it.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
I tried both versions that from here (i.e. v1.83 and v1.85). I'm not really doing anything else with Odin, so there's nothing to restart.
I also tried uninstalling and installing the drivers a few times, using a few different installation files, and by letting windows figure out on its own which drivers to install.
Non of it changed the result.

this is weird, anyway since heimdall is possible, right? try and download a heimdall rescue kit from MY Android collections and try flashing , if the phone boots you can also install Mobile Odin from playstore to flash stock ROM too.

I've flashed m110s korean model with i9000 and I guess bootloader is gone...
Now it will not react to volume down+power+home.
Only computer will recognize usb connection for few seconds.
Is there any way to recover it without RIFF jtag and resurrector(without removing resistor)?

no, it's not keys error, now I have m110s with the same symptoms and it's not reacting to any keys combinations, I tried to flash I9000 bootloader to it and it died. now if I connect it to pc in device manager it asks for SEC S5PC110 Test B/D drivers for few seconds and after that it disappears.
so only soldering is a way to revive it?

Yes, you need to use JTAG, (z3x box) may do the job or if you want to try it by your self Look at My Android Solutions, (Link below) and also stickied in this forum for Problem Phone Dead, you can try unbreakable MOD, but seek advise from Adam Outler about it as it was designed for i9000 and not M110S

well its done in Mobile service centers for a fee ( will depend on which one you go to) these days most mobile technicians have such boxes and they use it for Flashing directly to the mother board , which is the only way when download mode is inaccessible due to boot loader damage

The thing is you are still using JM1 ( BTW its hard to come by JM1 these days some people are searching for it like crazy) JM1 will not have recovery & download mode by combo keys, untill you fix it by flashing combo keys or by attaching it to KIES and updating it to Gingerbread .
To update the combo keys you need to flash the combo keys fix from here Look under recover recovery for it, If , I believe it may be difficult for you, use KIES to update your phone to ginger bread first.
If you cannot connect to KIES look here , it will give you step by step procedure to solve all problems

Edit: Odin will not work with JM1, untill you can get download mode, so you need to use USB JIG ( will give you download mode), than you can use Odin, so use only KIES, download from Samsung, if you don't have it yet.
First Step :-
1) Check phone USB slot for contacts/connection problems
Some get misaligned others gets damaged internally, and others somehow moved and needed a nudge to connect, so clean them, just to be sure. Follow this guide
How to clean micro USB port
How to fix looseness.
Cleaning the USB slot and contacts will surely help as the Galaxy S model USB slot is prone to moisture as well as dirt retention, where users have complained about failure to charge or overheating when charging in colder regions. So a blow dryer may do wonders at times like this
Even IF your USB cable can charge the phone, data connection contacts could have been lost due to internal pin damage as I have personally experienced it , not to forget misaligned pins on the micro B slot itself experienced by others.
2) If phone is not being detected of a sudden (Quick Guide)
1. Reboot PC after a power cord pull and Reboot Phone after a Battery Pull , try USB connection
2. Try using a different Samsung USB cable (must be sumsung and nothing else)
3. Try a different USB port (use USB slots at the back of PC)
4. Try on a lap top or different PC
5. Try install nexus drivers - needed for ICS firmwares
6. Make sure you don't have fast charge on.
7. Try moving the USB plug slightly, sideway or back and front, whilst connected to PC
8. Toggle WIFI and OFF it , reboot phone, check connection
Trick
1. Turn ON Bluetooth with "make my device discoverable" checked
2. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone
3. you will get this message: " if you elect to use USB your Bluetooth connection will be interrupted - OK?"
4. Touch OK and connection problem is solved
3) Re Install the Samsung USB Driver or according to your manufacturer Drivers Android USB Drivers - Universal Installer or other Devices download from here or Android OEM Drivers here
Changes of ROM, also have configuration changes on the phone, (just like changes in combo key functions) ...so driver changes works for some
Trick Putting your Phone into download mode and connecting it with USB cable to PC will do it automatically. Meaning drivers will be installed by windows If there are none.

maybe its possible as JM1 is the first ROM for your phone and did not include even the recovery/download mode key functions, so either buy a USB JIG ( about a dollar or two) in ebay to enter download mode and use Odin3 or install KIES in your PC ( can download free from Samsung, just google Samsung KIES) to use Samsung KIES phone manager.
I am not sure if the latest KIES will work ( connect) with your (ancient) firmware, if not you need to download an earliest version of KIES to connect with a JM1 firmware.
so only two options, since you won't know how to use other methods to flash a combo key fix to get download mode.

Hey Guys, I am in trouble and any help/advise will be highly appreciated....
So, First thing first.
Problems:
1. USB Port is Buggy, Cant connect to 0din or PC. I can just charge it.
2. Recovery mode is bit upside/down, means I cant mount USB, wipe anything, cant Partition SD Card,
Recovery Mode Reason:
I was on EHNDROIX V 14.1.24 and Unfortunately Tried to Flash Gingerbread (F1 Galaxy S2 V7).
I placed F1 Galaxy S2 V7 in internal SD and went into recovery and tried to flash, it started and after few seconds stopped, saying "Partitioning error" After that i lost my old ROM, Lost Root Access, Now Phone is just stucked at Samsung Logo.
So, was just curious is there any Magic Word that can Flash my i9000?
Any method, any expert who can give suggestion....
Thanks in Advance Guys
