[Q] HELP: Froyo screwed my galaxy S!

Guys,
Just updated to froyo 2.2 but i didn't remove the lag fix before hand...
now my galaxy S is just stuck on the S loading screen and never loads.
For some reason ive never been able to enter recovery using the volume+home+power button, the only way was through command prompt SDK
Now my obviously problem is, i can't boot the phone so can't reboot into recovery that way.
HELP!

goto samfirmware and download your original firmware with bootloader.
Flash via odin and it should boot you straight into recovery.

Or check out the post I just commented on in this same section.
Cheers,
BS...

Hi - can't see the bootloader on that site :S

they should all come with a bootloader, just download your original firmware.
download odin v1.3, beside the firmware you are downloading should be a PIT number.
Goto the bottom of the page and download that pit number.
Open Odin, and set your pit and pda.
Then set your phone to download mode,
connect, flash, and you should boot directly into recovery

I can't enter download mode. neither 3 button mode works, never has done, can't use up or down for recovery or download.
The only way i've ever been able to get into a recovery console was through ADB.exe which requires the phone to be booted lol.

hmm... lol I dont know man. you might need to return your phone :-(

Reboot with the up button on the left, the right one, and the home one.
and then full factory reset, and cache clean.
then reboot and wait

Exact same problem here ... not luck through ADB or FASTBOOT. Stuck!

I have the same issue. Please help.

Same here...I cant get into recovery mode with the 3-button solution

I killed my SGS by installing the new JP6 without removing the OCLF first! I've had no three button recovery option for yonks. After much faffing, I managed to sort it.
Here comes the science bit:
Download JG5 from here. Use the ROMraid link in the Requirements section
Use Odin with the pit, PDA, MODEM and CSC files, not forgetting to tick repartition
This will get you back to 2.1, without a lagfix. Now install the newly released Froyo and enjoy.
Cheers,
BS...

It's an utter nightmare not being able to get into recovery/download. think i'm gonna have to send it off

The links worked for me just now...

would you mind sending me the direct link? atcasanova at gmail dot com
thx in advance.

My phone was bricked 1 month ago (no download mode, stuck immediately on power on), I didn't send it back to Samsung but I used Riff JTag to repair it and now it's running perfectly.

Just try the ROMraid link under Requirements....
It does have a stupid captcha question but it eventually worked for me..
I can't post the link as it only seems to work when you click it from that webpage.

Damn! I'm clicking that link, witch directs me to "coblitz codeen org www romraid com paul galaxys JG5.zip"
i've tried just "www romraid com paul galaxys JG5.zip" and it redirects me to modaco dot com
What do i have to do to download it?????????

Hi, i finally completed the download, had to change some DNS and routes using some proxies
So, I'm really new to android, and i've got a few questions
1) how am i supposed to flash my Galaxy S if i can't turn it on to make my pc recognize it?
2) Brownstone mentioned PDA, CSC and MODEM files. In JG5.zip I have: CODE, CSC and MODEM files. And Odin asks me PDA, PHONE and CSC.
So how will I fill in Odin's fields?
PDA = CODE_I9000XWJG5.tar
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJG1.tar
CSC = CSC_I9000XXJG4.tar
??
is that correct?

bricked my tab!

Hi, i had a tab with bootloader locked and flashed pit file first then stock rom, now tab is stuck on logo and doesnt go beyond it. I can get into download mode but not on recovery mode...need help please

My problem is actually a bit worse. Well, maybe. I'm stuck in the, "phone ! pc" loop. For other phones, you can just remove the battery, and then press the three buttons, but for the tab, since the battery can't be removed, I have no idea how to fix it.
You can try this, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360

i have the solution on your problem igot that phone and pc icon...
all u have to do is flash the file
*open odin then connect your tab
*click repartition
*click pit then select the file u downloaded
*then click start then that's it just wait for it to pass then it'll now boot
the phone ! pc icon is also download mode so u wont have to do the download mode just connect it to you computer and make sure odin detects your tab
hope it will work for you sorry for the bad instruction

Tried your solution didnt work

Mine didn't work with Odin too. It worked with Heimdall instead.
1. First, I downloaded ROTO JMI from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
2. Press the power + volume down button. It'll still have the phone ! PC icon, but it will already trigger itself to go to download mode.
3. Unzip and then extract the tar from the ROTO JMI.
4. Using heimdall, put everything inside the extracted file to its appropriate filed. You won't need the moveend.
5. Flash. Do NOT remove your tab.
6. It'll auto-reboot

Very busy at the moment, really appreciate your help will try your solution later and post results

Tried your method, still stuck on samsung logo, not working...someone please help!!

If you are certain you have tried all the methods listed above, with both hiemdall and odin, than it is amazing that it is still boot looped ...
If you have repartioned and tried a samfirmware rom, than I'm at a loss

When you unzip a compressed file, you will see a number of files inside like cahce, factory data, etc. Just put them in the corresponding field in Heimdall. As for the zImage file, put it under the image field.
Edit: @andrew - mine was in the logo for like 5 minutes. Even up to now it still takes around the same time to boot.

I have tried the volume up button power button and home button but nothing just comes up galaxy s black page then ultimate then back to Back Galaxy page < Please help as im so crap at this and got help from someone on here a while plase advise and help in english lol ???
Thanks

Well first you are going to have to achieve either recovery or download mode.
Recovery: hold volume up + home and the hold power until the first screen pops up. Keep holding for about half a second. Which longer than instant lol
Download: same as above but volume down.
If you get to recovery try a wiping cache and dalvik. Then try boot up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wipe/factory reset from recovery.
If that doesn't work then either download a stock firmware by Ramad on the general forum or go sammobile.com or type in darky in Google and go to his website and navigate to full releases. From there click on the latest for your phone sgs i9000. Scroll down to instructions and look for the link for 10.2 re or something similar. Its the Odin flashable rom. Alternatively just look for a from you like and flash it. If you have recovery you may be able to use CWM flash able zips otherwise you will need Odin flash able files from the places above.
Darky rom will retain root and is a custom from so it'll be easier to move to another custom from if you flash that.
That cover everything

Hi Talon26,
I have tried the 3 button recovery and download and nothing nada ??
I dont know which stock firmware to go for a while ago i had same problem as im having now and could not get a decent download for stock firmware any pointers in the right direction ??

can you get a Jig from a friend?
it can get you into download mod without button combination..
here is some video that might help to understand how to make one, it has instructions on the info.

Yes you can use a jig that would be easiest and best for the future in-case you run into this again...
However i don't understand why download or recovery is not working if you are already on custom, you have achieved it before right? If not use a video to help.
However if the standard methods do not work then there are sill some tricks..
1. Take out the battery>>>Hold the button combo>>>Insert battery whilst holding combo>>>When the boot screen appears (Samsung GT-I9000) hold for about half a second/whole second then release>>>Wait. If it continues to boot loop again then take out battery
2. From task manager close all Kies apps/processes>>>Put your usb cable in>>>plug in your phone>>>hold the combo>>>Wait.
3.Take out battery>>>Do all of 2>>>When the USB is connected to phone whilst holding the combo insert battery>>>Wait.
4. Repeat 3 with charger instead of the USB cable
If none of that works then yes i think you will need to make or buy the jig. (Or borrow if you can). But also do a search as im not sure if i covered all the tricks. There used to be a thread on it in the general section, try search for it.

Sammoblie.com, [Ramad] Stock Firmware or Darky 10.2RE
Sammobile.com is straight forward. Click on smartphone, then android etc. Just follow the clicks then you select the FW that is relevant to you based on country and provider... If use the Ramad link then you will need your csc code which will be retrievable from the sammobile site its at the bottom.
Good luck

1. Ultimate ROM is it ICS? if yes install samsung drivers.exe from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
2. Download stock ROM for your phone from samfirmware.com or alternatively you can use Darky's ROM
3. you will need Odin to flash the ROM it is included with Darky's ROM as is a read me file with instructions.
4. Start Odin make sure no kies processes are running if installed. If they are running Kill the processes
5. Boot phone to download mode using jig. Remove jig from phone. Plug USB cable into phone. wait for odin to detect phone then flash.
NOTE you may have to Flash once with re-partition ticked and then once without to get the rom completely booted.
Once running it is suggested to perform factory reset

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"
you should then be left with a selection of firmwares for your handset/region
download the suitable version

From what you describe I will assume that your computer is running windows 7. This being the case the file downloaded needs to be extracted so that you are left with 1 file called JVG_JV5_JV4
You say that you are now left with file called JVG_JV5_JV4. Have you downloaded a PIT file? If not find 512 PIT at the bottom of this post.
Once PIT file is downloaded extract file.
Select PIT and add pit file
Select PDA and then select the file extracted JVG_JV5_JV4
Then flash.
As stated before you may have to flash with repartition selected once and then once with out.
This should get you going again.

If the stock ROM is not working try Darky's 10.2 as it will generally work when other methods fail.

Mate , I can not thank you enough i tried again after i last put message on here and all done i now have 2.3.6 and as far as i am concerned all ok now. I did have to get into recovery mode after i used Odin for mob to start up and just did a system rebbot or should i say factory rebbot. All ok now and alot of songs i had were all still on memory card ok had to re install apps i had before but hey ho.

GT-i9001 Stuck at amss.mbn

Hi Guys,
I have a problem, I tried to update an T-mobile GT-i9001 to 2.3.6 with a T-mobile firmware.
But it was stuck at the amss.mbn part, and now I cannot boot the phone nor flash it.
But it has no problems getting in Download Mode.
Tried to flash with/without ops file, without Ops protect on and with it.
Tried One package box, Tried PDA box.
Tried rebooting. Tried another computer.
Tried original driver setup. And i'm flashing with Odin v4.43
Nothing works .
When I boot the phone it shows a phone and pc logo.
Thank you!

Apparently, your phone does not have a workable rom on it so you need to search for the correct firmware for your unit before you try again
the procedure should be
First remove battery and reinsert
1) "Select OPS" AriesVE.ops
2) Unzip/unrar the ROM you are flashing.
If it's a single .tar.md5 file, check the option "One Package" in Odin and then load the .tar.md5 file using the One Package button at the very bottom. Odin will load it and check the MD5 checksum. and should be over in ten minutes
If your ROM consists of several .smd files,
Select Boot_loader.tar under BOOT
Select Modem under PHONE
Select PDA under PDA
Select CSC under CSC .
Press Start, Flashing should take about 10 minutes
If it fails, than try again with protect ops unchecked

I tried with 3 roms with the steps u said but it still doesnt work

what roms are trying with?
remove SD card, and Sim Card, and reinsert battery after battery pull, to try again, there is no reason for it to fail, unless you have the wrong firmware

Ok, is your unit sim locked to any Network?
IF not can you go into recovery mode? wipe everything / factory reset and remove sd card as well as sim card before you try again
preferably use an earlier version of the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346245 according to this post, its 1. I9001XEKE8 [05.2011]
and also make a post in I9001 Q&A thread, to see IF anyone else knows something about your problem

preferably use an earlier version of the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346245 according to this post, its 1. I9001XEKE8 [05.2011]
and also make a post in I9001 Q&A thread, to see IF anyone else knows something about your problem

Hi Guys, I tried all the possible steps I could find on the Internet however I'm still stuck at <1> amss.mbn download.. stage. Can't get any further, any help?

[Q] Ultimate brick

I rooted my sgs 3 mini and install custom ROMs. I loaded CM 11 (4.4.2 kitkat) from Maclaw.pl. It worked, but after few weeks, my fhone just suddenly shut down. Tried to unroot it via odin + stock ROM, but nothing happens. Or something happens, there is the samsungs own bootlogo back. But the phone is stuck on that logo. Funny part is that when I put a charger on, there appears maclaws panda charging logo. I tried to load stock charging logo via odin, but nothing happens. Phone won't get to recovery mode, but the download mode works. Any ideas what to do? Except to throw it to trash can...

If the download work so
Recovery also need to work
Try again
Also did you try flash by Odin

Thanks, but as I said, nothing happens. I have tried many times to flash stock firmware. I have read many posts and tips but it looks like that there is nothing to do :/

It could be something with a corrupt param or something. Have you tried the service firmware also, not just the stock firmware?

Enable 3 button combo for recovery, do a factory reset and it will boot.

Joker, have you found solution of this issue?
I have the same problem, also tried lot of thighs but nothing helped. Every try of using pit end-up with message "there is no pit partition", but stock FW I can falsh with no troubles.
Still the same behaviour only logo after staring phone and cannot get into recovery menu...
