Galaxy S stuck with orange triangle

Hi guys,
I 've seccesfully used JM7+Voodoo lagfix and I decided to flash the jm7 again because of the bug in Voodoo beta 3 which keeps the processor 100% all time long.
According to the instructions on voodoo lagfix website, you have to convert the filesystem from ext4 to RFS again, I did it succesfully.
Then I used odin, put the phone in download mode, usb cable and START on odin.
Problem is that odin was:
when I pushed start I got an error , and it didn't start, removed cable.Start again in download mode, start odin, then start again...
It did start but it was stuck on "do not turn off target!!!" for few minutes. So I had to stop it ( odin was running locally but my csc modem and code files were on a samba share, never took so long before )
Now when I turn on the phone I get an image like:
a pc and a mobile phone with an orange triangle with an exclamation point into it
and it won't start.
I have just the samsung usb drivers installed, and before doing this I did remove kies to save some space on C:
This is the first time it is behaving like this.
Did I brick the phone?
Thanks in advance any help is really appreciated.
P.s. at the moment I am installing kies again, download updates, and I ll try odin again.

you mean like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000

and now this?
all you need to do is go back to the download mode, which is this
then you can flash with Odin again
make sure all files are local

I mean the second image you posted mate.
Now it looks better guys!
I have reinstalled kies and used odin succesfully again.
Thanks again.

How were you able to get back to download mode? I did the same as you (unplugged when a flashing froze up) and can't get back to download mode..
Just that terrible 'orange triangle with exclamation mark' connect to PC symbol (does anyone know the technical name for this screen?)

[Q] Phone is broken because of root

Hi,
I recently rooted my galaxy s and installed tegrak kernel. Now it's in a boot loop. It won't start, even not in recovery mode. It go's to tegrak beginning screen and than to galaxy s screen. After that it starts up again. I think I installed the kernel wrong.
How can i delete the kernel without getting to the recovery mode, and without being able to connect to my pc because it doesn't start.
I can get to:

but if I choose anything from the tegrak kernel (like recover etc) but it says it doensn't find the needed files.
What to do?

Can you get in to download mode? vol down home and power?
If you can you could try flashing a different kernal through Odin. If not it might be worth trying a JIG

hey,
I can get in tegrak recovery, but all the recovery files aren't on the phone, neither on the sd card. Are there files i can download, put on my sd card and make Tegrak recovery use that?

Are you holding Volume UP or volume DOWN?

It now says downloading... (how do i know it's able to download, and it has connection etc)?

Honestly, if you don't know the difference between Recovery Mode and Download mode, step 1 would be to read a lot
Step 2 would be to read again to be sure you understand
Step 3: disable all lag fixes and thing you've done without knowing what you where doing and
step 4, search and read about darky's recovery rom, odin, dowload mode, kernel and the such
step 5, re-read what you think could fix it and confirm you understand

It still says: "Downloading... Do not torn off target!!!"..
Is that normal?

It will do so until you send something using odin.
Open the back cover and remove the battery and put it back so that it reboot

yes. it is.
search for odin and flash another rom. read a lot before you do that.

[Q] I9000 unable to boot.

My sons UK i9000 has a problem, the touch keys were not working and the screen was cracked., so a replacement part was bought and new screen fitted.
The phone booted fine, but the new touch keys did not work, so we tried to update the touch key firmware with *#*#2663#*#* but then the phone refused to boot.
We tried to reflash to a stock rom, which went all ok with odin, but the phone never got past the galaxy s screen.
We have tried loads of different stock and custom roms, including darky's ressurection, but they all either boot to the galaxy s screen and go no further, or boot to the galaxy s screen then reboot after a short while.
Is there anything we can do, we can still access recovery and download mode.
Many thanks.

did you flash the official rom using the ".pit" file? i can only suggest this and this
hope it helps

Many thanks for the links, tried the gingerbread rom you linked to, phone boots to galaxy s screen, stays there for a while, then constant reboots again.

I'm having the same problem as OP.
Does anybody have any other ideas?

Flash stock JVT firmware (check repartition) use 512 pit, flash Semaphore kernel. Go into CWM recovery, do a factory wipe. It should be good.

Nope, same problem, everything passes ok in odin, but the phone still reboot loops.
Would a faulty touch key cable cause it to do this or maybe something more serious?
Many thanks.

put your device in download mode and use this:

I tried to recover my galaxy s I9000 using odin, i had the 512 pit file and stock rom image 2.2froyo, and now mine doesnt even come on anymore, i could get it to go into download mode when the flash failed by taking the battery out unplugging usb, then plug usb in, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery, that worked for me until odin had succeeded, everything was correct, I did days and days of research about it before I went through with it, but now that it successfully flashed, the phone no longer enters download mode or see's any ounce of life, would the jig still work to force the phone to come on?

Tried the one click, first attempt it boots to the first GT I9000 and stays there.
Then tried with flash bootloaders ticked, but bootloops again.
Starting to loose faith in this phone.

if your son's phone was previously on Froyo, you may need to tick "flash bootloaders" in OneClick...

[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?

Tried to flash it again, now I'm stuck on "Set Partition" on Odin. is it safe to turn the phone off at this point and try again?

Anyone?

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] Another bootloop for n7000

I there:
I don't know what i did it but i restart my n7000 and it boot loop in the Samsung Galaxy Note logo. May be i screwed installed the last Sweetrom.
I can connect using Odin and CWM is still operational.
What i did it:
-Odin = install a new firmware. = Ok without any problem (installed a couple one including the stock).
-Odin = Installing a new Kernel PhilZ Touch 5
-CWM = Wipe Data / Wipe Cache / Wipe Dalvik / Fix Permission
-remove the microsd memory, the battery and still it fails.
-i ran 120824-151927-emmc_find_brick_start and it founds nothing.
-I even reinstalled 3 times in a rom a firmware without any luck.
What i can do?
Right now, i am installing rom + pit ( and re-partitioning).
ps: In ODIN exists the button PDA and the button PHONE, some guide uses PDA while other guide uses PHONE, what is the correct?.

the one that says PDA is correct (only if there is a single .tar file) moreover before you try that have you tried flashing a Stock ROM(if you already mentioned, i could not understand "even reinstalled 3 times in a rom a firmware without any luck")? If not then i suggest you try that first.

When i mentioned 3 times in a row, i was mentioning this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160676
However, as expected, it did not worked.
And about ODIN :
{
"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"
}
But apparently PHONE do the same than PDA. I will use PDA for a bit while.
Finally, re-partitioning with PIT did the trick. Thanks anyways.
