[Q] Tried to downgrade to recovery2e, now stuck at galaxy s logo

Dear All,
Have tried searching for a solution to my problem, was unable to find one - apologies if this has already been answered somewhere.
My Galaxy S has never been able to use the 3 button recovery/download, so when I wanted to install a custom ROM, thought it would be a good idea to fix that
First I went to RazvanG's thread here , and realised I needed to sort some other issues first, namely to root and downgrade my recovery file from 3e to 2e.
These are the steps i followed:
1. Rooted using z4Root
2. Installed Busybox
3. Followed steps in reschi85's thread here
4. Rebooted
All seemed fine when I rebooted, phone started fine.
However, when I then went to the next step of RazvanG's, namely to boot into recovery, the phone has hung on the Galaxy S logo screen, and will not budge.
Have tried using adb to reboot into download/recovery mode, no change. cannot get the phone to start now, and since I hadn't managed to get the fix applied, my 3 button fix will not work.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sun

Petr0v has an excellent topic on getting 3 button recovery working. I used the odin method and it takes 5 minutes in all. You actally have to get download mode working first before anything as its very important. Once done you could have flashed cf root using odin and would have had 2e.
If taking out the battery for a few minutes doesn't work your only option will be to force it into download mode using the jig then flashing a fresh firmware with odin. There are topics on here on making your own homemade jig. I've also seen them selling on ebay here in Australia for $20usd. Good luck.
Edit: TheBeano has a topic on how to make you own jig.

Help with cappy

I was trying to load firefly 2.8 the same way i always do .. flash to stock then master clear then clockwork then run the zip well after it installed i got stuck at the samsung sgh-I897 screen (black) and it vibrated in a really weird pattern over and over .... never booted up so then i decided to go back to stock with odin i enter download mode run odin it says passed and everything but now my phone wont load past the at&t world phone screen (white) any ideas on what to do ????

go into to download mode and reflash the stock again.
if you cannot go into the download mode, build a jig or buy it online:

Did you use one click odin? If so, try using the full version of odin. There are I instructions and downloads for it all over this forum (i would put up links for g you, but I'm mobile right now.

use full odin as ^^ he said.
use this one...its with minimum risks...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143

[Q] Wont boot - stuck on S screen

I switched my phone on this morning and found it wouldn't boot beyond the S screen. I'm using a stock 2.2 rom downloaded via Kies some months back. It isn't rooted. The phone has been running perfectly until now. I tried 3 button recovery/download mode but these wont work. This is what happens:
1. Power on = the GT-I9000 screen
2. Animation and song
3. S logo screen - the S changes colour
4. One vibration signal
5. Three vibration signals
6. Black screen and occasional single vibration signal.
7. Both soft buttons remain lit.
Is there a way I can fix this to avoid having to send my phone away for two weeks?

Remove battery for an hour and try .
Download recovery jig from General pages .

Thanks - will try these

If you are able to get it to download mode, just get the stock firmware files fron samfirmware and flash it through odin....i went through the exact same issue a few days ago....dont worry..you should be fine

I've tried it but it still doesn't work.

I had the exact same issue on my phone when i got it originally and then updated to 2.2.1. Via Kies.
About once a week when i switched it off at night, come morning it wouldnt boot up, had to go into recovery mode and reset factory settings every time which was a real pain. Eventually read up on here enough times to figure out how to use Odin and flashed stock FW and never seen the issue since. You need the 3 button combo to work however to do this.
On GB now and all good.

Galaxy Note stuck at boot screen after OTA update

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!

1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?

No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick

Thanks for your help

Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?

Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.
Thanks.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!

Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...

Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

If you prefer a stock rom without or a modified stock rom with root you could flash a 2.3.6 Odin Rom. That will update your complete system and reset it to the default values.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... in download mode, phone just reads what's sent via usb cable and installs it. If it's not working I would say it's the hardware that's broken.
