Try flashing Ezbase with repartition/pit file, and it should put you back to working order. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
+1 ezbase is our saviour!

So you've opened ezodin, entered the 3 files into the right sections(PDA,PHONE and CSC) and entered the pit file in the Ezbase post, then put your phone into DL mode and plug in. Then flash. The repartition should remove the lagfix. Give it another go..
i cant the phone wont turn on now
Do you have download mode? Or anything? Does the screen light up at all?
nothin just a dead phone

If nothing comes to screen your phone is totally dead. You must send it to samsung unless you have Riffbox or other JTAG device.

Galaxy S + 9001 stuck in bootloop - can't flash with Odin

Hi.
I have a Galaxy S+ I9001. I had cranyum rom installed on it. One day it just restarted and after it got stuck in bootloop.
It onlyshows SAMSUNG logo, and then restarts and so on...
I can't get into recovery using 3 button combo, but I can get into download mode.
The problem is that it appears to write ok with Odin Multi downloader 4.43, but when it gets to the reboot part, the phone just power off and gets to the same bootloop. If I disconnect the usb cable, it shows a vertical battery icon, then black screen, again battery icon, and so on... Tryed with a different battery witch was charged to 100% before flashing because I tought that it was running low on battery, but the result was the same.
Tryed many different firmware and same behavior.
Is it possible to be a hardware problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

or try this

It does't matter what I try to fash to the phone via Odin. It says thet the flash was successful, and goes to the same bootloop.
Tryed flashing different roms, feamod recovery, clockworkmod, bootloader. Nothing changes.
So flash full rom wit pit and then root it again then do what ever u like

The problem is that it's a Galaxy S Plus - I9001. I can't flash it with PIT file. That's only for Galaxy S - I9000.
Does the pit file works for Galaxy S+ also? All that I found with pit file was for Galaxy S.
I can flash mine with AriesOPS, but that doesn't do the trick. Same bootloop after flashing.

First remove battery and press power for a min, remove sim card and ext SD card and than reinsert battery and go into download mode Download the CWM 6.0 recovery, link on My Android Collections below and try to get recovery First, than go into recovery , In recovery WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system) enter advanced and wipe dalvik cache too than flash the ROM
I allready tried to do that. It flashes ok with odin multi downloader 4.43, but when it goes to restart, the phone gets back in the loop, and I can't get it to recovery via vol up+power (with or without usb connected). It just gets to the same boot loop in witch displays just the SAMSUNG logo for about one second, the restarts, and so on.

Don't let it restart after flash by unticking auto reboot and than pull out battery after flash, reinsert battery and use combo key to enter recovery
Still no luck. Same behavior. Nothing changed.

ok, try switch to this flasher and do a wipe at the same time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574149
Unfortunately, from what I have read, that flasher is used with the phone started and connected to the pc in debugging mode.
I've just tryed anyway. Nothing to lose
Nothing changed.
I really believe that it's a hardware problem.
So, any other ideeas? Or it's really bricked?

No, its not bricked, the solution may lie in the technique , have you tried these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596 , :victory:BUT First it may wise IF used another PC or Lap top, just to be sure and also download a Broodplank ROM to flash
What is a broodplank ROM?

The problem it's that in the link that you provided, I must have access to recovery witch I do not have.
Or to use ADB, witch is possible if the phone goes after the Samsung logo at startup, but mine restarts exactly after the logo without going further.

Broodplank is the developer of BroodROM, just look at the signature of the link I gave you earlier for his ROM's

Umm.. correct me if I'm wrong here, wasn't that a 2 button combo in I9001? I have personally flashed my friends I9001 and it was, like [vol+, power on]?
You are right is two buttons combo.
It's just an expression.
But it does not work anyway.

Have you tried holding the button combo a little longer? Don't get this the wrong way, from my experience I know that getting to recovery on i9001 can be a little pain in the a$$ and I really don't know why. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

[SOLVED]Black screen but download comes

Hello all,
My friend dropped his ace recently and the screen blacks out occasionally, and his phone app started crashing. So i put it into download mode and flashed a stock gingerbread rom.
When i access download mode it shows on the screen, but stock recovery doesn't come up, just a black screen. And when i start it up i can't tell if it's stuck in a boot loop or its started up, and the battery gets hot.
Edit: figured it out.

Patience my friend patience, I spent around 5 hours to do it.
Go to download mode, flash stock rom with Odin. Then keep on trying to enter stock recovery (power+ home, then when Samsung comes release the power).
Once sick recovery does come, do a data wipe, and cache wipe. Then reboot.
You have to keep trying. Once i did the wipe after the flash, the screen off time reduced. His phone goes off, but it comes back after 1-2 minutes.

did you flash the correct firmware.check your device model and download the suitsble version and try flashing again.if you go to boot screen then remove your battery and goto stock recovery and wipe data and cache.dont panic just search and read you may get a solution.
Restore it then flash it again. That's why you always back up. If you didn't back up download the official firmware then root it again

Bricked Note

I have big problem... I performed upgrade from AOSPA Paranoidandroid RC3 to RC4(Feb 25)-wipe cache, dalvik cache, and flash zip, then reboot. My phone stuck on boot logo with samsung logo, can't enter recovery mode. So I entered download mode, and try to flash stock 4.1.2 rom from odin. It stucks on cache.img... I read somewhere on xda that I must first flash GB 2.3.6 stock rom. So I flash from odin, stuck on factoryfs... after 5min without reaction, I pluged phone from PC and pull the battery out. I can't enter download mode now... only boot screen with samsung logo. When I press download mode combination I can see that phone tray to reboot into download mode, but nothing else happend... There is issue with charging - when I pull power cable, on phone's screen I can see empty battery, but it hangs on battery animation ("running circle" isn't animated...). What else I can do? Phone was working 100% normal before this upgrade from CWM. Is this possible that my battery is empty? And why charging isn't working?
You sure ur phone cant enter into recovery mode?
