SGS won't boot

Today I wantes to install the new Darky's Rom v9.0.2.
I downloaded everything, rootet my device (2.2 JPO) with Odin, installed Clockwork mode and started the update.zip.
At first i didn't wipe my sgs, just installed the zip. after some dialoge (This is Darky's Rom, installing this... done, etc) it rebooted and everything was as before, except for the forced closes. So I did a wipe and installed the zip again. This time there was some text too, but it rebooted too fast for me to read it. Then it stuck at the "Galaxy S, GT-I9000" logo, where it should enter the clockwork mode. I pressed vol up + home + power to give it another try, but now my phone won't go past the Samsung logo I already tried to remove the battery, or use the combination for the recovery and download mode but none of it helped.
If I plug in the battery charger, the battery logo shows, but it freezes while loading the battery status.
Is there a way to fix it? I just want the recovery mode to work again

Ask Darky its his rom does that not make more sense .
Or wipe the lot .

I cant wipe it when I cant get into the recovery mode..

so you cant get into recovery mode... What about Download mode ??

Download didn't work either..
Edit:
lol.. I removed the battery for about 10 minutes and tried it again. Recovery mode still wont work, and the phone doesnt shut down too, BUT the download mode works
so back to odin

thats your best bet these phones are pretty unbrickable lol. just a ball ache having to restore everything when summit goes wrong.

Yeah, it's really a pain in the ass -.-
I'm really relieved now though. I really thought I bricked it
I hope everything'll be fixed by midnight

Flash to v8.0 first, then flash to v9.0.2. That seems to be more stable.

[Q] Blind guide through Clockwork Recovery

Hello guys,
I think my SGS is screwed, but maybe with a factory reset I can get it atleast to work...
Atm the phone is in a bootloop after trying to update my light'ning rom. It starts up with the normal "Galaxy S GT-1000" and below "Samsung" screen, after which I only see a messy pixelated screen instead of the usual animation. Shortly after it goes back to the previous screen. This repeats itselfs endlessly.
The phone does go into download mode, using the 3 buuton combo, but my pc does not recognize it. I tried everything, reinstalling drivers, kies, etc, on several pc's/laptops. After some messing around witn battery in and out I do get it into recovery mode, but it is onreadable. The first galaxy S screen is still visable and the recovery menu is in a different resolution then normal above that, making it impossible to read and go through the menu.
I was hoping anyone could give me some step by step guideness through it, so I can try if a factory reset does anything.

dont know if it will help but boot into recovery
volume down button 2 times
power button once
volume up button 5 times
power button once
that will do a factory reset and see if it fixes ya

If you got USB-debugging enabled, you can try to force it to recovery using adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If not you will have to reflash your ROM using odin (a ton of guides for that)

Odin will only work if I get the USB bug fixed, wich I can't. Specially since I cant even start up android. No debugging there...
I can get into download mode, so that leaves me with some hope the phone is still fixable...
Ayone else tips?

Thanx, it seemed to do the reset (there did happen things that looked like one, haha) but sadly no succes so far....
all I can do now is try to get to my download folder blind and reinstall the rom that is in the download folder... I have no clue wich nr folder the download folder is, but that is just a matter of endless trying ...

so have you managed to get the phone recognised by the PC ?
if not, try heimdall, i hear that works for issues like yours - something about installing a custom driver for the USB ??? i dont know ive never had to use it luckily

SGS usb drivers
For the drivers you could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
there is also a link in samfirmware.com
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-programandroid.htm
with drivers.
I had a similar problem yesterday ( Broken boot, no recovery mode, only download mode with no USB recognition,) but after trying to reinstall some drivers it worked and now my phone is back online thanks to odin and samfirmware.

HELP!!!! Stuck on Boot Screen!!!!

HELP!!!
Im stuck on boot logo and I cannot flash anything on PC Odin. And I cannot access Recovery Mode (Neither CWM or system recovery). I can only go into Download Mode.
I was on CheckRom NoteHD and I used the kitchen app to download franco kernel and one of the mods (Use camera flash below 15% to be precise) and as soon as I installed, it didn't let me boot back into Checkrom!!! And Now im stuck on boot logo no matter how hard I try. I did try flashing the wipe ROM (Pre-rooted Open Europe 2.3.6 LC1), I also tried flashing the CF-Root file but still no luck. PC Odin says failed in between the process!!
Please Help me guys.. I don't know what really went wrong as I have installed stuff from the KitchenPro App before.
What can I do now?
Thanks

First this:Turn off the device and pull the battery, wait for 30 seconds and try to get in recovery mode, if that works reflash CheckRom. If that doesn`t work pull the battery again and get in downloadmode and connect to the pc and see if Odin recognizes the phone. If it does flash any stock rom.

I tried the exact same thing you mentioned and no, it doesn't go into recovery mode. and yes, it does go into download mode but it fails to flash. I tried 2-3 different firmware versions of 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and I'm pretty sure the downloaded files aren't corrupt!! I don't know what to do...
The only thing working is getting to download mode but then thats no point since I can't flash any ROM.

There are threads about reviving recovery i think on xda, haven`t needed them so far but look around and you will find them. If you can`t restore recovery or downloadmode then it`s off to the shop i guess
Does Odin recognize your phone, what exactly goes wrong when flashing with Odin?

"Battery Too Low, Can't Download"
Now there's another problem.
Not only I Can't flash anything, I can't even get to Download Mode because the battery is low.
When I press the Vol Down + Power + Home key, I get "Low Battery, Can't Download" in red font.
I left my phone on charge through the AC port and I had no idea it wouldn't charge. The only thing was that my phone was exteremly hot but still with zero battery. I even tried plugging the phone through the USB cable but still no luck.
I removed battery for few minutes upto 30 mins and put it back in and plugged in the charger but all I see is the empty battery symbol keeps flashing every 5 seconds.
Is there any way I can charge my battery and get back to download mode so I could try flashing the stock kernel to get past the boot screen? I even tried plugging in the USB jig that I used with my SGSII previously, but it was of no use as well.
Please Help!!!

your only option is to use a universal charger external, or borrow another note to put your battery in.
once your battery is full you can carry on the previous steps
good luck

i will probably take it to best buy because i dunt know anyone that owns a note.. only I'm the cool one
hopefully i can charge my battery at best buy and then go on with the process!!

Hey,
I managed to buy an external charger and I was able to go to Download Mode again.
After that I tried to flash stock kernel (stockKernelXXLA4.tar) And Odin said "Pass".
After that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Logo again.
I'm not sure what to do now!!
Please help.
Is there anything else that I could flash?
Even though I flashed a stock kernel, I still see a yellow exclamation mark..
PLEASE HELP, I NEED MY NOTE TO COME BACK TO LIFE!

Sorted this mess out!!!
I flashed "N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar" And the phone now works!!!
Stock kernels didn't do the work for me, but the official ICS release did.
Thanks to all that contributed in the thread.

is the new release can do ?
i'm using the LPT / LQ2, and the flashing process very long like stuck in firmware upgrade process. The bar just like never move for half our alrd.

If you can enter download mode, flash a stock ROM via Odin.
If not, too bad, amigos

Did you install it using CWM or ROM Manager?
Never use ROM Manager on the Ace! If you did, your phone is hard-bricked.

[Q] No Recovery mode and No Download mode.

Hello XDA peeps,
So here is my situation, some days ago (like 3-4 months ago) I installed CM 10.1 on my Captivate. Everything went well and I can even open my phone and use it. But the problem was, after installing that ROM, I no longer can get into recovery mode or download mode. I tried everything possible, the button combo method, button combo and battery pull in method, button combo and USB pull in method and also tried ADB "restart recovery / reboot download" I think, (does not remember because it was 3-4 months ago). Tried everything correctly and stopped trying when I could not get into download mode or recovery mode. The last option I have is a USB jig, but the thing is I don't have it and I will need to buy it from abroad if I want it.
Some more information: When I try to put it in download mode, it gets in a boot loop (I see the AT&T logo and then reboots), the boot loop stops when I leave the buttons. And also when I switch on the phone, it does display the battery charging animation.
And also I've heard some people saying that it might be because I flashed some incompatible kernal or something. (This might be true, because I also don't remember what I did to flash the ROM )
So, I want to fix this now because I want to update my phone to the CyanFox 4.3 ROM which seems very cool . Is there anyway I can fix this recovery mode or download mode on this phone so that I could flash a new ROM to my phone (without the jig if possible)
Thank you lots peeps.

Download and recovery mode aren't affected by ROM flashing. If you can run your phone just fine, then your kernel is fine.
Now my guess is that one of your button isn't working properly, or that you're using the wrong combo. That being said, when you hold the power button (while phone is powered on), you should have an extended menu that gives you the option of booting in recovery or download mode, have you tried those?
As for a jig, you can make one if you don't wanna order one. It's fairly simple and we have a guide in here on how to for just a couple bucks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try that also. But it just does a normal restart. I tried the the ADB "reboot recovery" also. It also didn't help. I even downloaded an app to reboot into recovery, but no help.
And yesterday I got a jig from my friend, it worked on his infuse but did not work on my Captivate. He said that it might be because he is using a 330K resistor. So I ordered a jig from ebay. It will take some time to reach here.
Is there anything else I can try? maybe push a recovery or something using ADB? Sorry if I am being noob here
Once again, thanks for your support.

At this point i would just wait for the jig. And yes, Samsung galaxy jig requires 301k.

Ok, I will wait for the jig and when I get it, I will post the result.
Once again Thank you for your help

Aaaand all of a sudden I was wondering, can this be a bootloader problem? Maybe my bootloader got locked somehow or something?

The best thing is still to wait for the Jig or make one, as BWolf56 suggested.
Once ya have the Jig and If u can get into Download Mode with it, I suggest that u flash the One Click Odin or Heimdall Stock Android 2.3.5 i897uckk4 that includes the Bootloaders. (See the stickied One Click thread in the Dev forum, Post #3). If that is successful, do not flash any Bootloaders again. U can then proceed to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel, the .tar version of the kernel v7.0A, through Odin and then use that CWM Recovery that is baked into that kernel to go on flashin other Roms, etc.
If u cannot get into Download Mode with the Jig, then ur micro usb port of ur phone may be the fault. (But still an app should work from the play store to reboot to download or recovery)...anyway that is all i got for now.
Keep us posted.
