I9000 Wont boot no service mode is it bricked?
hello i was trying to update the the stock recovery service boot options on my gt I9000 so i could upgrade to CyanogenMod 10.2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
but i kept getting "E signature failed" in the service boot options, so i tryed to update the service mode screen and so it
would get rid of the "E signature error" with odin.
i opened an update rar file instead of a tar (should have noticed) and ran odin it failed and now i cant,
get my gt I9000 to boot into service mode or start up.
when i do try to start phone the up i just get an picture of a *Phone ! Pc*

Im just looking through this thread on bricked the I9000 (link below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434225
And trying the steps in that post.
i did backup using titanium and saved the entire contents of my phone to my pc can i restore my phone from that, via the Pc?
is there a way to replace the boot loaders on the phone with odin or another program?

can anyone advise me what i can do please?

Update
Hi just a quick update
i reinstalled windows 7 on a old harddrive and managed to install heimdall & oneclick unbrick installed on that
in the cmd box it says
Error: Null
Set Temporary Folder:C:\Users\xai\AppData\Local\Temp\\xaiHeimdallOneClick\
Log:C:\Users\xai\AppData\Local\Temp\\xaiHeimdallOneClick\log.txt
Operating System: Windows
Found Heimdall Version: Heimdall v1.0.2b
Is the Null Error a problem?
the oneclick unbrick window says
Set Temporary Folder:C:\Users\xai\AppData\Local\Temp\\xaiHeimdallOneClick\
Log:C:\Users\xai\AppData\Local\Temp\\xaiHeimdallOneClick\log.txt
Operating System: Windows
Found Heimdall Version: Heimdall v1.0.2b
Ive installed the samsung drivers Pc installed compensate device and mass storage or something.
Im on an old pc with crap internet connection which keeps disconnecting every few mins, and it makes trying to view threads very difficult, am trying to find some threads i was looking in at the time of posting my op
is it safe to go ahead with the unbricking?
some advice at this point would be greatly appreciated
Thank's :

Futher Update
So i took the plunge an Clicked Unbrick, it then said it needed to install drivers, i followed the steps it then gave me and i clicked show all devices then my device was found, it installed the zadig drivers etc and then configured it all by its self and restarted my phone
All is good and well again
At this point ide like to thank the members whos contributions/guides on the forum helped me get things back on track and a big shout out to the heimdall/oneclick unbrick developers :good:
You all have done/do some great work
Thanks Again folks!!! :good:

theres a few conflicting guides on how and what to do and a few of the guide take me to links that want to install stuff on my pc etc which i dont trust.
some links say it will work as i decribed there others say you need a stock recovery file or an e2 recovery file for the Froyo.
im lost with how to proceed, can anyone help or link me to the files i need please?

Ive since flashed my phone with "speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar" and can now access E2 recovery but I'm now stuck in clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0 speedMod ULFK.
When i flashed it it auto check repartition i didn't notice till it was too late.
Every time i try to start the phone it goes to "clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0 speedMod ULFK" screen and i cant get out it, i can still get into download mode, but the phone wont boot up normaly
Ive flashed with bootloader "i9000 boot.tar.md5" but that didn't work i change the extension to "i9000 boot.tar" it flashed but i still goto recovery.
Ive read through a lot of threads and guides a lot of the links to files i apparently need are down
I'm at a total loss as what i can do now? i cant find the froyo stock rom or the bootloader either (international version) can someone help me out please?

did you use CWM from Rom Manager?
This is NOT optimized for the SGT.. nor is it encouraged.
Anyhow, have you tried to check if your computer can detect your tab, through Kies or Odin?

You the dude
Sent From (I'm In Luv With My Tab)
similar problem....also stuck on boot
but I got there a different way. (FIXED)
Let me start off by saying I am stupid I have a tmobile tab and it was running awesome on overcome 2.0.0 rc1 with ext4 conversion and OC kernel and then I saw the honeycomb alpha had been released for cdma, which of course I dont have (gsm), and decided to try the rom with the oc gsm kernel, which didnt work.
then I dun goofed. Instead of going back to overcome in cwm, I flashed the damn experimental honeycomb package again, kernel and all and then loaded the tab.....dumb...weird colors and then nothing....screen just goes black and no matter what I cannot see cwm screen. And now odin no longer recognizes the tab.
heimdall works and I flashed back kernal from :[OC/UV][7th Jun][Kernel] koxudaxi kernel [GSM][2.2&2.3][KernelPatch]
which gives me cwm, but it keeps giving me an error that i cant mount sd card
I have tried flashing the safe gingerbread stock with pit file (still stuck on boot logo)
then tried flashing rotostock tmobile rom ( but no pit file and when it boots it still shows the gingerbread bootlogo)....do i flash with P1_add_hidden.pit added?
Any and all help will be much appreciated. please don't be too mean. I know i shouldn't have done what i did
[UPDATE]
So I figured it out. I reinstalled samsung usb driver from within odin folder, and odin suddenly started working. went back to stock GB and then on to Overcome 2.0.0 Gold w/ ext4 and oc'd to 1.4
I had to reinstall the hiemdall driver too after reinstalling samsung driver, but now they both work again....... so stoked

managed some soft bricks in how not to root. Odin up & waiting if a dev comes up with it
I am also waiting for the root!
not sure if it would work, but im working on a rom right now that is pre-rooted, but like i said i dont think that it will work,, i hope someone makes a cwm recovery soon
I'm currently trying to create a prerooted rom the way I did it for my tablet.
Extracting the system image from the Update package was easy, currently I'm trying to mount the syste,.img to set the rights and add the SU binaries.
If this works out, how can I flash this ROM?
With KIES? Or Update.zip on SD?
Is there an Update mode, and how can I get there?
edit: Okay... I was able to mount the System.img, but this is not that straight forward as in the img of my tablet.
I found a lot of folders, but no .apk, known folder or something I could work with.

Have you tried adb shell?. I am not allowed to post outside links, but if you type "londatiga net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/" in Google, you will get the appropiate link
Could you explain with some derail how did you unbricked the phone?

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here.
I was wondering if there is any official 4.1.1 Jellybean for SIII Mini, 'cause my phone is pretty dead at this moment. I tried to download from official servers some packages , and use them with Odin ...but the phone is still at the main screen " Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190 ". Any ideas how to manage with this ?
Or can I use another firmware, as 2.3.4 Gingerbread?To downgrade the device just to work?

Do you tried to get some of this firmwares:
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
and installing with:
trickytweaks.com/i8190xxaljl-4-1-1-jelly-bean-update-gt-i8190-s3-mini-how-to.htm
Yes, I have tried with my provider's firmware , but nothing happened. Still at logo screen. I have also tried with other firmwares, but still at a dead end. Right at this moment I'm flashing my phone again, hoping that something will change.
Had it stuck by flashing custom boot.img. Solved it by flashing 1 file image from samfirmwares as pda in Odin 1.85 default settings
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I have succesfully extracted the PIT file from my S3 mini with the Heimdall software, but I don't wanna use it to flash with Odin because I think it's pretty messed up. Can anyone provide me with their Galaxy S3 Mini PIT file, hoping to rescue my dead phone ?
no boot into recovery mode and wipe data/cache that should get the phone booting again, esppecially after flashing firmwares with odin

Well, if the recovery mode can be accessed with Volume Up + Home + Power, then I can say that my S III Mini won't get into it.If I press these buttons the phone just gets on, and remains at Samsung Logo. So that is why I'm asking for a PIT file, 'cause I can't get into recovery mode to erase all data, so I can flash my phone again using Odin.
I have tried all official firmwares and still nothing. I guess my SIII Mini partitions are a little (or a little more) messed up, and I need to use Re-Partition from Odin so I can revive my phone.And to do this I need a PIT file from a working phone.
Or there is another way to get into recovery mode, excepting Volump Up + Home + Power?
Thanks for the answers.

Well, the NsPro tool requiers a box, that costs 170$. The program is useless without that box. I have downloaded it and doesn't work without that box.Another solution is by using a JTAG box, which does the pretty same thing, but again, it is expensive.
I was thinking that if I'll repartion my phone it will resolve the boot.img file, because it's in the "softbrick" at this moment.
helpline
Have you tried emailing or phone SAMSUNG`s helpline, they might help.
Write this image file whit odin 1.85 and voala you phone revive.
Pls use tanks buton
That param.tar file I saw it is for S II . Does it work for a S III mini too? Aren't 2 different devices?

Big issue after firmware update try

Hello,
I've a "non commercial" version of a GTab 8.9.
This tab is running by default Android 3.1. I would like to update to Android 4.0.4. Kies doesn't want indicating my tablet doesn't support the update (i don't know it was 4.0.4 version or another)
I tried to use the standard : Odin + the new firmware. The tablet is unlocked and rooted.
Each time that I tried I get the error : "can't nand write" :-/ I tried all current stuff to fix this issue : change cable, PC, odin version (1.83, 1.85, 3.07, 3.09). I tried to change recovery with succss
but impossible to change rom. I found a link on tsar dot com (sorry I'm too young here to post link) to reformat tab and I put the pit file : this has worked....but now : i can't access to the recovery. I can only open the download mode...but I can't do anything and I don't have others files described ont the following link

Thanks for your reply. I tried this first but it didn't work because when I want "start" with the good firmware (7300), the md5 check works but that's all. When odin want write boot.img or other file, i get an error "Can't write" and odin stops.
As this method didn't work I try with the tsar dot com solution. Hoping that's can help me.

I've a similar issue in /data partition (it can't be writtable after a try to flash with Odin from a virtual machine) and I fixed it with the PIT file to repartition, reflash stock firmware and then a wipe/factory reset from stock recovery (I think it did a format)...
I try to put pit file. It's works as I told in my first post. But I can't flash the firmware with a standard stock rom (apparently). Can you tell me tools and roms that you used to fix the issue exaclty ?

What I remember is Heimdall doesn't work with my P7310 and it don't let me do anything.
Anyway, plug into a Windows machine running Odin 1.85 (I think this version it's fine) your tab, press 10 seconds UP and power button and see if your tab is detected. In that case try to flash stock package again.
Some time ago it happened to me with a Galaxy Ace phone, when phone is booting screen was off but the phone enters into download mode anyway and you could flash whatever you want.
A last shot for you could be disassemble your tab and pull off battery. Wait some minutes and then pull on again. Try to start in download mode with tab plugged into your computer. If you don't have enough knowledge to disassemble your tab (and I can assure you of that it's not easy) maybe you need to bring it to Samsung support.

When i tried flashin from my Mac iusing Heimdall,
the download finished on the mac, but on the N7000
it still showed the blue line etc. I waited a lng time and tried
rebooting, but got the above.
Re-flashing in Heimdall had no effect.
I then tried flashing
hardcore-speedmod-ics-recovery-n7000.tar
using Odin 3.185 from my VMwars Fusion XP install,
and that seemed to finish ok, but no luck either.
I looked for the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, but I cannot find any
odin-flashable format for it, and of course I cannot use the sdcard
as I cannot even boot into any recovery as is.
Can anyone suggest next steps?

1st things 1st. Why would u use heimdall or odin? And what is your current ROM before trying to flash CM 10.3, was it stock? You should have looked for CWM recovery or Philz safe kernels as base when doing ROM flashing ESPECIALLY custom roms. From what you said, then can you still boot into download mode? I have no knowledge of heimdall so just download Stock Firmware, flash it with odin and see if you can boot your N7000 first.
The worst case scenarios is you are experiencing emmc bug-brick. go to the thread and read carefully to deduce your type of 'brick' and find solutions there. Good Luck.
I was on a stock 4.0.4 (but rooted). I originally tried flashing the cwm from the sd card, but after starting to load it it also just hung,
so I looked for an alternative..
I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

Go to sammymobile.com if I'm not wrong. Download the stock firmware there. Rooted but do u have cwm installed? Rooted doesn't mean you have cwm installed.

I'm sorry so did u succeed or did you not succeed in installing the custom rom? If your custom rom boots fine then all u need is to search for solving status 7 error thread. My advice to all noobs is to always try n avoid installimg anything except stock rom in odin. Always read and re read before flashing anything that's beyond your knowledge. Basic knowledge of flashing cusroms is :
1. ALWAYS make sure you're on SAFE and COMPATIBLE KERNEL. Most rom threads ALWAYS Include threads/links to a specific recovery/kernel to use. Read n RE READ that.
2. Wipe everything IN RECOVERY mode before flashing a rom.

If you're able to boot up properly n prompted to wipe, then do it. But do it in recovery not on device.
Ok, I downloaded one of the stock kernels for my internatinal N7000, but flashing that with Odin 3.185 hangs about 3/4 through (has now been
sitting there for >60 mins).
Looks like I am screwed?
The file I found is KIES_HOME_N7000XXLT4_N7000OXALT4_1103517_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I f I wanted to try flashing this with Heimdall, I'd need to know partition numbers I think
Where can I get those?
Or should I get another file?

Before that, do u have KIES installed? KIES is NOT compatible with odin and will cause potential trouble. So is some firewall and antivirus apps. You need to disable all of them before using odin. Please search the thread http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for stock rom site.

Ok. I downloaded two stock roms from sammobile:

but both fail with some (unreadable, apparently character set issue) error under ODIN.
I found this:

which shows how to do a full flash , including PIT file, but the links again go to hotfile which seems to be down.

Of course you fail... When using ODIN, U should have downloaded the .tar. if you downloaded a zip. then unzip it first to get the tar file, then you flash it with odin. All requests are included in the stock.tar And PLEASE DO NOT Play with PIT files if you don't know what you are doing.
So now what you need to do is. :
1. DISABLE KIES (Uninstall it better), Your firewall, antivirus.
2. Install CORRECT Samsung USB driver. (Search keyword "download samsung N7000 usb drivers")
3. Unzip your zip file and extract the tar.file.
4. Run ODIN as Administrator (Right click/run as)
5. Go to download mode. connect your device to Pc/laptop.
6. Wait until Odin detects your device, click AP/PDA and choose the tar file you extracted.
7. DO NOT tick partition.
8. Let it run
Of course I unzipped the zip to get a SINGLE .tar.md5, but flashing that fails on factoryfs about 3/4 through. consistently.

Try updating your odin. Use the newest vers. And try and read this https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGd2e3iG5hkDeo0KyAjGuCSfQSLUw . If All fails then it's a confirmed SUPER-BRICK and there's nothing except samsung service centre can help you now... Sorry for not being able to help more..
Thanks. That led me to

which makes it useless for finding ROMs...

His link to ROMS were basically the same ones you can download at sammobile.

[Q] Ok, I've bricked it!

I've a i9000 and i9300 which I don't really use so I thought I'd do some updating.
A while back I put CM11 on the i9000, and put it on the i9300 yesterday, then I thought I'd root them, that's when the problems started!
Booted into download mode and used Odin to put the firmware on, it reports successful but the phone doesn't boot past the first screen.
I used the CF-Root file -XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar but I've also tried JVR, JVS, JVU, JVZ and JW4 out of desperation....with the same results.
I'm glad I started with the i9000, and I'd like to try to recover it, but I'm at a loss now :crying:
That CF kernel is for stock JVT. Hopefully you didn't try it for CM11?
It would last to flash a full firmware, reboot once, and after that you can flash compatible custom kernel (same image contains also custom recovery).
We have quite good sticky threads in this section that can guide you. Which Odin version did you use? 1.83 and 1.82 are the last ones with full compactibility for the i9000.

But I'm unable to install a ROM!
Recovering the phone as above also puts ClockworkMod on, but it fails to install the ROM with file signature errors, trying both the CM and Gapps gives the same error.
Also trying to install ClockworkMod using heimdall as I did previously also give an error
Code:
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
Ending session...
Releasing device interface...
All I want is CMmod back on again!
After quite a few attempts at different ways and a few 'black screens of death' I've managed to get it completely back to stock using heimdall following this. My head is spinning!
Now I've just got to start with CWmod and CMmod again. Now it's stock I'm tempted to try and root it.....but that was the start of the problems last time!
After trying to root again and another bricking I decided to give up with the root!
The issue is when trying to install CWmod I get the same error as in post #4, which means I'm completely lost now as the phone was back to stock.
[email protected] Ok coming from a Windows background I forget about case, and the CMmod wiki is incorrect. The issue is as I've had my head spinning so much I forgot I did this last time!

This was totally wrong way to install. Who adviced you to flash CyanogenMod with Heimdall? Are you not reading install instructions at all?
I adviced you yesterday to go with sticky threads here.

You have to flash a stock firmware and after that compatible kernel for it, as kernel and recovery share the same image on the i9000. So unlike other devices, the recovery can not be flashed separately. That's why the kernel must be compatible with the ROM.
If you have flashed once ROM based on Android 4.3 or higher, your partitions sizes have been modified and you must flash also PIT file together with stock firmware and enable re-partition.

Yes I've also flashed the PIT, I used the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
which included it.
I will try to recover it using the sticky at the top of the forum then try CWmod again.
Thanks for the help [emoji3]

If you're using Heimdall, be sure to use v1.31 as the later versions aren't working so good on the i9000 anymore.
Do you use Linux or Windows as your PC's OS?

I'll grab an older version of Heimdall as I think I downloaded the latest.
I'm using Windows (7 64 bit).... along with it's USB driver idiosyncrasies

I restored the phone to stock from your instructions at the top of the forum, then tried a rooted ROM.
Everything went fine, although I'm not sure if I had root access (as it worked I didn't bother to check). Then I tried CWmod but it still failed to install, so went back to stock again.....it still wouldn't install
From the ClockworkMOD website..
Download recovery -- you can directly download a recovery image using the link below, or visit clockworkmod.com/rommanager to check for the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery for your device (if your device can be found there).
Recovery: Semaphore_2.7.4.tar

If you use their link (me being lazy did) then it fails, but go to the website and find the image then it works!! It's a slightly different filesize, so maybe a different version?
The ironic thing it that on the CyanogenMOD site it mentions that the phone hasn't got to be rooted to install it, but what I didn't realise was CyanogenMOD it also installs a different firmware...which is rooted!!
At least through all this I'm a bit wiser as to flashing the phone etc :good:
@eusty Rom Manager app is useless for i9000, except for reading the names of nandroid backups.
