Please Help ! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the I9000 . Until this morning I haven't had any problems with my phone. I was on C-ROM KK 5.8 (not that it affects my problem) and last night I left my phone to recharge. This morning I've unplugged my phone from the wall charger and made a reboot (my morning routine). Strange thing happened. The phone went into the phone off connected to wall charger screen mode but showing that the battery is empty. I took my battery out and now every time I place it back in my phone, the screen goes on showing empty battery or it's checking for battery level, without even touching any buttons. If I try to go from that screen to make my phone boot using the power button it does not react. I can't go in recovery mode , only I can go into Download Mode from that screen. I went back to 2.3.6 JVU using Odin and rooted it, phone booted fine. Now the thing is : When I am turning off my phone the phone keeps doing that battery screen problem. It turns screen on, acts like it's in a wall charger or it's checking for battery level or something and keep showing me an empty battery for a second then the screen goes off and back on again and only way to make my phone usable is to flash using Odin , the 2.3.6 stock ROM again and not take my battery out. If I try to flash CM 11, it goes into a recovery loop (because it's changing partitions sizes and the recovery version) and I have to take my battery out and it does it again. If I turn my phone off, my phone does it again and only way to boot it is to flash something from Odin so it forces it to boot.
Please Help ! What could be the problem and it's there a way to fix it?
Edit: I've been using my phone for an hour with on the Stock 2.3.6 and the battery level dropped just a bit . So The battery is not draining completely, and that fast. Also I've tried with a different battery and the problem persists. And my battery works just fine on a friend's GT-I9000. I've also successfully flashed Mackay CM9 2014 1.7, the situation didn't change. Also tried with Samsung 2.3.6 JW4

Two questions for clarification:
-Do the symptoms differ depending on whether you run stock or custom ROM? Or symptoms are 100% identical?
-If you shutdown your phone, keep the battery in position and do not connect the phone to the charger, it still shows the battery-crazy stuff? Because that would lead me to believe it is a hardware thing....
If there is a difference between stock & custom:
Maybe the hardware is dealt with differently between stock & custom ROMs making it look different, but I am not sure about that. You could try whether CM7 has the problem as well, as that one had a kernel that was much closer to stock.

Thank you for replying.
1. it's 100% identical on stock and custom ROMs only the battery icon shape is changed but the problem is the same.
2. The screen turns on by itself, without being plugged to anything.
3. Just tried CM7 and it's the same.
This is what is displayed when I put the battery and the phone is turned off, without being connected to anything. The picture is an example, found on the net, I don't have a camera to take a photo of my phone but the image shows exactly what I see for a second then it turns the screen off and back on forever, phone reacts only to download mode.

I'm afraid this may be hardware related if the symptoms occur on different types of ROMs. The charging animation with screen off is triggered by the charging hardware of the phone, which thus seems to give wrong signals...

Thank you for your help and clearing it for me that it is not a software issue. Guess you are right it's a hardware problem probably caused by the wall charger, after 2 years of usage I think it starts to break and "took something from the phone with it as a heads up" . I have to make a visit to the "phone doctor".

N1 not booting up...LED flashing orange-green-green

Hi,
i need some help trying to figure out what do i need to do to get my N1 to function again.
I had KiNgxKxNexus Desire2Nexus (v1) ROM loaded on my N1. i don't know for what reason i tried to load latest intersectRaven's Kernel(20100421_2237-the update.zip version)on top and that's when i start having issues. After i loaded the .zip file, phone rebooted and it was stuck/looping on the HTC screen for about 10 min.
I removed the battery and since then i cant get it to boot. all i get is a flashing LED (top right side)--looping on orange-green-green.
removed battery, SIM, SD card.
I plugin the wall charger(with no battery) and same issue.
when i put battery back in, i get the LED red, and if i try to power it on, i get same loop - orange-green-green.
tried to connect N1 to PC, and use adb, but PC its not seeing the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Just go into recovery and wipe then flash your desired ROM.
You get a similar sequence, when you try to start the phone without the battery pack (with just the charger). I tried that to help someone in another thread, so just remember the phone won't start without its battery.
I don't remember the exact orange/green sequence in my case (and don't have the charger with me right now), but i guess that either your battery pack died coincidentally or that there is some other low-level hardware problem. The red light could also indicate an empty battery (that maybe broken and won't charge).
Can you borrow a battery from someone? I wouldn't try to use your battery in another phone to be safe though.

i cant go into bootloader or recovery. tried the power+trackball, power+vol down... no luck. - my PC doesn't see the phone to use adb.
when i turn the phone on, my screen its black...i don't get anything on the screen.
i got it to work.
over nite i left the battery out of the phone. this morning i put the battery in, plug in the wall charger, and turn the phone on (power+trackball) and i got to bootloader. from there i was able to go in recovery and fix my phone.
hey, thats great! please have a look at the battery from time to time, if the phone gets hotter than normal.
I have the same problem, but not because i flashed , but I put strange extra battery in , that didn't worked, And N1 was just flashing orange, green , orange, green, 1 sec interval ...
I put new one in and worked like a charm.
Don't buy from 4U-kidi. Dead battery!

[Solved] Bootloop (orig. firmware/no flash brick!) shows up only empty battery symbol

Heyho,
i got a very weird problem with my:
GT-I9000 Firmware 2.3.3
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427
[email protected] #2
Buildnummer
GINGERBREAD.XWJVI
If i put in my battery OR my usb cable it doesnt even come to the boot screen with this white "Samsung Galaxy..." font. It only shows the symbol of an empty battery and seems to restart to show it again and again.
Recovery Mode is not possible, but Download Mode. If I use Odin in download Mode i can root the device...its already rootet, but the sideeffect is, if i click on "auto-restart" it does really start android sucessfull !!!!
If i use the normal shutdown i can't start it the normal way. If i use restart options i.e. from CRM or Titanium Backup or whatever...it restarts.
I really tried everything i found in these forum:
1.) i cleaned the hardware by letting it rest 7 hours in pure alcohol. After 3.) i used a teeth brush to clean the MicroUsbPort.
2.) i wiped all data and the cache using CRM and flashed my phone with CRM to CM9 nightly from today (very nice feel and look, but the problem still existed)
3.) i wiped all data again and flashed my phone with 3-part stock GB 2.3.3 (of course with the 512 pit + repartition before) using Odin3 1.85
i'm trying now the whole 48 hours, i don't know what to do now.
Haven't seen that problem in any forum (maybe to blind?) and am really desperate
a screenshot is attached
Does this show when phone is turned on?? ???
Because this battery icon should only appear when your phone is OFF.
Does the battery still charge even if the icon appear /disappear.
Have tried deleting battery stats from recovery(do it when battery is fully charged)
Do u use an app called "no moar power"

Without to press the power button, the phone starts to show up the battery screen. After a few seconds, black screen, then battery screen, and so on.
I can only start Download Mode directly..nothing else appears

I'm trying to fix this problem ~48hours now. With all the flashings and tryings, the battery seems to charge, just without to show it to me. It would definitely already be empty if not.

I had this problem a long time ago. I don't remember want i did to make it go away and it didn't bother me because it only happened when the phone was off and charging. Otherwise my phone was working perfectly when booted. But it did go away after a while. Try not to flash any rom for a week and see what happens.
Sorry i can't help u with this.
hm i hope so, what did you make in this time when your battery was empty? how did you boot?
My phone did charge. But when the phone was off. The battery icon was coming and going.
I thought that u could charge the phone.
But if u can not charge the phone that is bad.
then i think Samsung is your only choice.
Anyway i hope u will get it fixed, because its a lovely phone. I got 2 of them myself.
Best of luck
I am having a similar problem. as of last night the battery ran quite low and powered off. when plugged in the battery showed empty and kept resetting itself to empty battery screen. unplugged, it bootloops at devil kernel screen.

Sorry stupid q
Does the phone still get charged.

Holy sh1t ! Today i was wondering about Kies now recognizing my phone again. So i shutdown my I9000 and could start it the normal way! The problem fixed itself.
You were absolutely right about the just-wait-and-see-what-happens-tactic.
Made my day! Saved 100 bucks for a new I9000 mainboard.

Samsung galaxy s I9000 BATTERY BOOT LOOP help

Hey guys, recently I've been having a problem with my battery. I've tried different roms and still have the same problem.
if the battery is fully charged, half etc and the phone is restarted, the battery screen shows up and shows an empty battery, turns off, restarts and shows the empty battery screen again, turns off, restarts and keeps doing this until I plug the charger in. once I plug it in, the battery shows full, or what ever the current charge is and phone starts up fine again.
I've noticed that sometimes the battery percentage goes up without being on charge or even sticks at a percentage for a few hours then drops a lot.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to solve?

I have found alot on my problem surfing through the forums with many saying they have solved the problem by flashing CM10 mod. Another that i found was a flash with "param.lfs". Apparently this solves boot problems but I cant see how to use this file.
Any help with a step by step guide or just any help at all is very much appreciated

just select it as PDA and flash with Odin3 , download from My Android Solutions
Thanks for your reply, param fix didn't solve my problem. The first rom I installed ( before I found the wonderful world of xda developers ) was this one:
aokp_galaxysmtd_jb_build-2.zip
Which I got from a site called "ibtimes"
(I've tried to post the exact link but I need to make 10 posts within the forums to get this option)
Since then I've had this battery boot loop problem. Restart works fine, but power off and powering back up gives this infinite boot loop. is it possible that this first rom has corrupted my phone?

Doubt it, it would more be due to wrong flashing procedures , anyway have a number of options to get over bootloops in My Android Solutions
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.
I have looked in depth through the "My Android Solutions" and tried flashing a 512.pit and also tried a new semephore kernel without success, I still had the battery bootloop.
My phone does work if started with charger plugged in but its a worry if im out and about and the phone dies. theres no way i can restart it without the charger boost.
so.....
Im looking at the Recovery Kit now.
"i9000 Rescue Rescue Kit for i9000 using heimdall packed by ldq"
I have never used heimdall and the files within the rescue kit are confusing to know how to use them correctly.
I have looked within the forums for a "how to" guide using Heimdall but it feels like its over my head, and to be honest, it seems that if i make any kind of mistake i could hard brick my phone which scares me :crying:
:fingers-crossed: A total NOOB guide would be so greatly appreciated, or if there are any other solutions besides using the rescue kit Id love to know about them.
Thank you very much for your assistance

You can use the EZbase with root or Darkys, it uses Odin and has guide , all of them are rescue kits or even a JVU upgrade ROM (also mentioned in the top)
I tried quite a few stock roms with the same result, darkys 10.2 EE and darkys 11, 4.0.4 ICS and again same results. This morning I went back to the GB stock rom ( " I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA " with root file " CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS " ) and had the same results, battery screen bootloop after power down. :crying:
however...
After 7 hours normal use i powered the phone down and powered back up ( thinking another vain attempt ready to see the dreaded battery loop screen again ) and found the problem had completely cleared!!! Phone started like it normally should!!!
Very strange. I was ready to try a new battery and now there is no need. I'll keep powering down and powering up over the next 24 hours with different charge percentages to make sure the problem has 100% cleared it's self. :victory:
Will post back in 24 hours to confirm for anyone interested.
Thanks for the guidance xsenman, seems as though going to and from different roms with the 3 wipes each time actually solved the problem!!!
Too hasty with my last post.
Phone has started looping up at boot again with empty battery screen.
Tried another battery with the same results.
For it to work for most of the day normally booting up and to suddenly start playing up again leads me to believe that its some kind of battery stat problem.. maybe??
it powered down and powered up again fine from 100% full down to around 16%. lower than 16% and the phone looped with empty battery screen on powerup.
The battery percentage jumps quite alot after a restart, sometimes as much as 40%
surely it has to be battery stats being messed up?????
There are alot of procedures to reset battery stats on the net and a few in these forums.
I'll give some a try.
If anyone has a sure way to reset batt stats then i'd like to know please.
Thanks to anyone with help.
suggest you clean your Battery contacts on phone and Battery with cleaning alcohol and try to keep battery firmly in place with scotch tape or folded paper and give it a try
Hi!
I had the same problem.
I fixed with a sheet of paper that do pressure under the the battery for better contact with pines of the phone.
Good luck.
Enviado desde mi GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the replies.
I've cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and also tried the paper trick having the paper under and around different parts of the battery, still the same, empty battery screen loop.
It only happens after power down then attemped power up, fine when just a reboot is selected though. When powering down it actually doesn't shut down, it goes into this infinite empty battery loop. I'm beginning to think some kind of hardware issue??
But also, i only started to get battery issues after my first ever custom rom install Cm9 jellybean which was not from xda. Sorry for repeating myself, im just completly stumped with this issue.

i have the same problem and i dont know what to do to solve it!!! :-S
it started when i flash a official cm10 nightly... then i flashed the stable cm9.1 and the problem disappeared... after a few days i decide to give cm10 another try and the problem started again... now i cant make this go away... i've tryed flashing other roms, even a GB JW4, and the same thing happen. I dont know what to do anymore!!!!!!
I feel the same way. It must be quite a rare problem.
Its very frustrating.
I just tried flashing that first rom i used. aokp_galaxysmtd_jb_build-4.zip which is a CM rom thinking maybe the first time i flashed was an improper flash.
still have same results.
Then tried Darkys 11 as they claim to fix bootloop problems but still have the same result. So im back to 2.3.6 GB JVU stock.
I really think we have somehow damaged the hardware by installing these CM roms.
Its as though the part in the phone which looks for battery charge in order to boot up fails and just shows battery empty until the charger is used, and also refuses to shut down.
How strange. How frustrating!!!
kilas_bff... I think we're stuck with our problem my friend. I have just brought a portable charger which i'll carry around incase my phone needs started after these battery screen loops, just to give it that initial boost of power to restart. Got mine from Ebay for £8 GBP which is about $12.50USD.
I just dont like the thought of really needing my phone while its in a battery loop. this portabe charger will be very handy and give me peace of mind.
Any more ideas on this is greatly appreciated. I'll try anything. :fingers-crossed:
As with all things funny have you gone back to a clean install of a stock rom via Odin? Run it stock for a bit and see what happens?
sent using my fat fingers from the robot eating the apple...
Stock is back in as of today. will take your advice and run it for a while and see what happens.
Another thing ive just noticed.... before going back to stock i performed the usual 3 wipes a couple times and even went as far as formatting system.
The picture I have attatched with my reply is what I was confronted with:
could these failures be causing my phone to act as it is?
I have searched about for clues and didnt come up with much. My forum searching skills need sharpened I think.
Thanks for the replies.
think it was just a bad flash initially...
stock rom and pit flash should see you right. leave it on stock for a day or so to see what happens then flash a kernal with cwm and begine the update to JB.

Hello, Thanks for the reply.
Before I go on.....the factory format method I used before was not from recovery mode but from the dial pad *2767*3855# (PLEASE DO NOT TYPE THIS CODE IN UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO HAVE THE PHONE COMPLETELY RESET TO FACTORY)
That's when I got those 4 failures mentioned before.
I tried your suggested solution but not sure it has solved the problem, its basically reset the phone to Factory settings but had alot of unexpected errors and app shutdowns. Before I flashed the stock back on I went into CWM recovery, went to 'mounts and storage' and formatted every option apart from the 'Format Boot' option. All formats successful.
After another flash with 2.3.6.GB stock I tried the dial pad factory format again out of interest to see if I got those same 4 errors and BINGO!! all went without any problems!!!
So that problem is solved.
But my initial issue remains.....After power down it doesn't actually power off completely, just infinite empty battery screen loop until charger is used. :crying:
I'll stick with the suggestions from 'creative0100' and stay with stock for a few days to see what happens then flash a kernel, thinking semaphore kernel and go from there.
:fingers-crossed:
its been nearly 5 days since stock has been on, rooted today and put semaphore kernel on and still have that empty battery bootloop. Won't power up without the charger boost to kick start it back into life.
Does anyone have anymore suggestions please? I've looked quite deeply within the forums and some have had a similar problem but no real solutions as yet.
Just editing my post as it seems that the phone powers down and powers up totally fine when the charge is below 35% - 40%. If its above it'll bootloop showing the empty battery screen.
Ive tried charging to 100% overnight and then resetting batt stats as the charge percentage jumps about alot. seems very confused showing different charge values now and again and even charging when it aint plugged in!!!
Seems something in the phone is not reading the battery correctly.
I really am stuck on this and cant figure out how to recalibrate the battery so it acts normally again.

[Q] Phone wont boot, can't access recovery, download modes says low battery

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with my phone where it's just not coming on or where i get it to come on it sticks at either the charging battery symbol or N7000 splash screen.
ROM: Vanilla Rootbox 4.1
Kernel: NX kernel 1.3.9
(i think - i'd have to double check the various threads to ensure exact version numbers)
I noticed the battery was v low this morning <5% and charged it briefly while eating breakfast and headed out to work with a view to charge it fully there.
I saw my phone was dead at 10ish so put it on charge for a while here. The only thing it has shown is the battery, but the circle dowsnt spin and the battery charge animation doesnt run. I've tried taking the battery out a few times and attempted start up where it gets as far as the splash screen and freezes also.
I've not as yet been able to enter recovery mode and attempts at entering the download mode give small red lettering saying low battery - cant download. Obviously not charging properly.
I'm at work at the moment, so i've not really been able to look too much at the rest of the forum (but the ones i have seen have been able to access download mode and suggest using PC ODIN - which if i can get it charging is an option for tonight!), and don't currently have access to another USB cable, but neither plugging it in to the computers USB port or the plug works.
Am just about to nip out for lunch but will get another USB cable to see if that helps.
Does any one have any suggestions?
Try another battery which is sufficiently charged and then flash with ODIN. Flashing at critical battery levels is not at all advisable. So first insert a charged battery and then flash the stock.

I did think of that when i went home, tried a s4 charger (partners, which i used this morning and it was charging fine) - no joy - just sticks at battery still. Grabbed my spare battery (unknown amount of charge on it) while i was there but it still sticks at galaxy note splash screen. I'll leave it plugged in for now and will see if ODIN picks it up and hopefully enough charge etc.
Best recommendation for flash is stock GB isn't it?
Yes GB gives an excellent performance compared to the newer versions. Though if you are going to root it again, it's lot convenient to root on the JB.
Hit thanks if i helped

Stock JB it is
Now lets see if i *CAN* do it tonight...
EDIT: I get home, have food, download the stock rom (takes an age), see partner while waiting, come back home, plug the phone in to computer and i get the battery charging animation! I have no idea how many times its been plugged in to chargers and computers. Have swapped it to the s4 charger as that'll give it best charge for a while.
I don't know why it's gone from being completely unresponsive and now 10 hours later its (apprearing to) charge. Turning it on it booted - although it said charging 0% and turned itself off...

[Q] Battery's dead (?), phone won't charge anymore

Hi,
So... After flashing 4.2.2 everything was going great since this Monday... i spotted that my battery level was changing like a freak (on Excelsus 4.2) and whenever i wanted to plug in my charger to phone it didn't show the charging icon, but on phone turned off it showed but level wasn't rising... So i wanted to flash system backup, but then i got softbrick... I couldn't even get to recovery anymore, so next day i flashed .253 but it didn't change anything. I tried also to flash .423 again but it also nothing changed. And today, after recording some video, phone went dead, so i thought that i'll be able to charge it, but no. Whenever i want to turn on phone, it vibrates and nothing more happens, when i plug it to the charger, the red led light lights, sony logo appears, phone turns off and it loops... Any solutions? I can barely flash anything thru flashtool, but it also does nothing. Will I be able to send it as warranty repair or it may be voided? (i unlocked bootloader, but now it's locked)
I attach a screenie from yesterday, where you can see that battery level went insane and in addition it didn't want to go higher than 58-60%
Regards and thanks in advance,
Bairei
Have you tried anything from this thread?

Somehow I've managed to boot my phone. But the weirdest part is, that it had only 7% battery while the system launched. Now it's charging and hope it won't have any difficulties with charging or battery level.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the battery level is changing like insane, and phone doesn't seem to charge... While i was removing the bloatware via Root Explorer, the phone turned off, and when i turned it on, the battery level was changing, like earlier...
Plus, the led light while charging phone on or off doesn't light, also when i connect it to usb (but it works, when i launch phone)...
