Recently my SGH-1897 stopped booting. It would go to the clockwork mod screen. From there, I tried to flash a new rom, but it never worked. First it told me I had the wrong rom for the phone I was using, so I downloaded a different one that said it would work for 1897, but it would fail during the flash. Now, it won't boot at all. It goes to the 'at&t World Phone' screen and stays there. I've tried Vol +, Vol- and Power together, but no change. Help?

What did you try to flash? Also, what was installed on the phone before you tried flashing it?
If you can get it in download mode, you can use Odin to flash stock ROM (without bootloaders if you were on GB and up). That should get you back up and running.
If the button combos don't get you in download mode, you'll have to make or buy a jig.

Please help
Can you access to download mode ?
If you can try to flash an other fw
No, I only get the "PHONE ----"TIANGLE-----"COMPUTER" logo at start up.
I tried all sorts of button combinations to boot up in download mode, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for your reply though

Your phone is bricked I'm afraid
to begin with you needed Odin 3 or Odin 4
Odin 1.x is not compatible with Galaxy S
if you can enter download mode via the 3 button, you can easily reflash again
if you can't get the 3 buttons to work, send it back to the place where you purchased the phone to have it serviced or warranted
Hey guys,
I searched everywhere, and could not find an answer. Heres what happened:
Messed up Cyanogen install, so I used a One Click installer to go back to stock.
Once stock, popped phone in download mode, and used Odin to flash the CM7 kernel. Odin said PASS
Unplugged USB and held both volume rockers and the power button.
Phone rebooted (i let go at the ATT screen), and it now sticks at the Galaxy S / cyanogen(mod) screen.
I have tried these methods (for both download and recovery mode)
Held both rockers and plugged in USB (the battery just came up)
Put battery in, held one rocker at a time and power
Tried ADB, but it can't find the device.
Also tried holding all three buttons (both volume rockers and power) and the phone did the same thing.
Odin won't pick it up, ADB won't pick it up, and it seems that I can't get into Download or Recovery mode.
Any ideas? Just I just buy a Jig to go into download mode?
Had that happen to me when I tried to ditch cm7 and go back to stock so I could flash serendipity. I lost my 3 button combo flashing cm7 for some reason.. worked fine before cm7 for both recovery and download mode, and neither worked after flashing cm7.
Solution is to just use a jig to go back to stock and flash a new rom from there. Or you can do what I did and use a jig to go back to stock, then flash cog 4.2 or something that includes an sbl with the 3 button fix.
Hi ..
The same thing happened on my phone yesterday i was trying to install the MIUI rom on my phone.
The phone is stuck on the Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod Screen .
ADB doesn't detect my phone.
I never had the 3 button combo working on my Captivate for AT&T.
I used the adb commands to enter recovery and download mode..
Now Since the phone itself is not getting detected i can't even use adb commands.
What do i Do next.??
Please help..
would really appreciate suggestions...
thnks...
Get a jig, saved my phone a few weeks ago after a bad rom install.
I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.
It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.
I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.
Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7
It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Using SGH-i897
1007
first boot takes along time to build new files and delvik.. are you sure you waited long enough?
keep trying to get into recovery. try holding the buttons a little after the screen comes on.
factory wipe/ clear phone/
It keeps going to the AT&T logo screen for like 10 seconds, and then goes to the spinning wheel/battery charging screen, and then reboots.
Can't get into recovery mode through it, still.
a different .tar package.... dunno about that one..
or flash to 2.2 tar package
I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I was able to use a dragon rom to get it to boot, but now my phone wont give me any access to my internal sd card, and won't mount my external, so I can't download rom manager because I "have no room" Where do I go from here?
I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.
you dont need rom manager....ever
Then what does he need?

I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?
Need some help please!
you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.
3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s
I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?
download is 2 buttons
recovery is 3 button.
some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.
in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.
it is for Att only so i dont know much more.
After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.
After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.
Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.
I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.
1. Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.
2. Plug in the USB cable.
3. Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.
4. The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.
This worked for me once, after several attempts.
Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.
Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.
Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.
Here is how I eventually recovered.
1. I opened Odin on the PC.
2. Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.
3. After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).
4. Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.
5. As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).
6. I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.
From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.
The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.
Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.
From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.
After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).
From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.
Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.
It never booted for me, so this is what I did
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

this thread to finish flashing back to stock.
Is there any hope for me?
Running stock 4.0.4 on my unrooted GT N7000. Phone was plugged in and charging (nearly full 89%) when I tried to use swipepad to launch my goole reader app. Everything froze while still in swipepad and was unresponsive for about five minutes while I waiting for a crash report. Crash report never came so I tried the power button. No response, still showing the frozen swipepad screen. Took the battery out and put it back in again, hit the power button and it shows the galaxy note launch screen (Galaxy Note GT N7000 in white on the black screen). It stays there with no change (this is a bootloop, right?).
I've tried going into recovery mode (vol down, home and power) and nothing happens, it just goes into the bootloop. Tried to get into odin mode (vol up, home and power) and I can get to the warning screen where you can select either boot as normal, or download mode. Boot as normal leads to bootloop, download mode gets immediately frozen.
I've also tried the "take battery out, hold volume, home and power while replacing battery" process with no luck
What happened? What did I do? What do I do?
I'm dying here.
As far as I can tell, all solutions I've seen have involved access to recovery mode....

You are not in a bootloop (which is when the bootanimation repeats over and over) you are stuck in the splash screen. Anyway, that is not important. As you are running the stock ICS firmware which has the brick bug, I would suggest you flash the rom again in ODIN PC. Find your firmware and follow the tutorial in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
DO NOT TRY TO WIPE ANYTHING IN STOCK RECOVERY.

Thanks for clearing that up (re the bootloop vs stuck in the splash screen), but looking through the tutorials, even with Odin installed on the PC, I'll need to get access to the recovery mode.
I can't boot into recovery mode. What then? Is there any way to flash a rom without recovery mode access?
From what I know you need recovery or download mode to flash a ROM you may want to order a USB jig and see if you can get it to down load mode that way other then that you may be bricked

My USB port is tempermental. OTG has been out of commission for a while.
So basically, through no fault of my own and without any recourse my phone is dead.
That's just great.
So, is this Google's fault, or Samsung's?
If you have not modified the phone be it kernel,rooted it, or custom ROMs then it would be a Samsung issue in my opinion anyways

Well thanks again.
I guess a terminal diagnosis is still a diagnosis.

Hello,
I tried to flash twrp on a stock i9305 through Odin.
It initially seemed unsuccessful (rebooting to stock recovery) until i rooted the phone and flashed twrp again.
From twrp i then tried to flash RR rom but it refused (don't remember detailed message). I decided to give up and reboot.
The phone stays stuck on samsung logo.
I removed the battery. Restarted with 'home+volDown+power'
All i can get is the screen telling me to press VolUP to flash a ROM. My issue is that the VolUP button does not work.
I tried to remove it and press with a pin to no avail.
I can't use adb (not recognized)
Odin sees the phone but can not flash anything as the phone is not in DL mode...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot!

I suggest to get a USB jig. I've always one at home. Bought mine on eBay for about 2€. Just search the web.
Thanks. Just looked it up. I'll give it a shot :good:
