Okay so my dad gave me his old Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. So I rooted it using the XXJVT rooting package. Once it was rooted I flashed Cyanogen Mod 11 on it and everything was good and jolly. This phone at the moment did NOT have a simcard. My mom said that we could a sim this weekend, my friend also told me that the people wont give you a sim if your phone looks rooted. ME being stupid decided to flash back to stock. I did using an old rooting package. Now my phone wont get passed the "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" boot screen. I can access download mode and CWM but CWM doesnt seem to be working properly:/ Well I tried using recovery images and all that crap but nothing seems to be working it just stays on the screen for hours. So I need help, Im kinda a noob as, bricked my phone :/ Any help at all would be appreciated.
Cheers and thanks in advanced

Download the XXJVU firmware and flash it using Odin. Also use a 512 pit file and check re-partition.

Unable to root sgs gingerbread NEJVD
I have the same problem after upgrading to official firmware via kieys. Running PDA:I9000NEJVD, PHONE:I9000NEJV5, CSC:H3GJV6 on 3mobile. Odin doesn't recognise phone in download mode, computer only reads onboard sd card when connected as usb storage. Tried one superoneclick too but stops at running pnueter exploit/gingerbreak exploit. Super laggy as well, Can i roll back to froyo? any help highly appreciated.

Did you try diffrent usb port on your cpu?
also..on the cpu that your using odin to flash , do you have kies installed?
if so make sure it isn't running ( i would uninstall just incase)
see if that helps.

I am interested in rooting too, and I have gingerbread. I have 2 problems though, first, I do not have the 3button combo working. I thought the gingerbread update would fix it, but no luck, and the method I found here did not work. I hear that you should not try to root without the 3 button combo working, but what choice do I have, samsung update did not fix this bootloader problem. I cannot put my phone in download mode without having it plugged in and recognized by adb.
My 2nd problem is that I have a I9000T and it seems nobody has this phone around here so I have no way of knowing if some of the rooting options even work for my phoen and firmeware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have a i9000t, ive soft bricked a few times as long as you could get into download mode you should be ok, allways keep a stock rom around just incase to flash back to through odin.
Ive flashed a few modem with no problems, few roms with minimal problems..
Cm7 lost radio and weird pixle screen boot.
Deoxidized roms work good.
I had flashed Darkys 9.5 and everything worked till i noticed the stock music player gave me reboots.
I had tried flashing MIUI but no luck at all, could of been my zip. File was messed up but i tried a diffrent and still nothing.Now im on Darky 10.1 final no problems.
This has to be the most stable/fastest rom ive ever flashed.

hi.. do you have official kies installed on your computer?
if so uninstall it first... and installed the unofficial samsung driver.. sorry i cant post link here as am junior member..
you can search in google "samsung usb.rar". Once you download it, then installed it on your computer. Open you odin, put your phone in download mode,
and plug in to computer, then odin should be able to recognize your phone.
Once I have the same problem and it works for me with above step. hope that help.

Thanks for the reply! Ok, I finally manage to have the 3button combo work and get into download mode and recovery mode. I want to root, can you tell me if the odin method works on 2.3.3 stock, on I9000T . Also, How can I fully backup my phone. Which android version did you have when you rooted.
Also, I keep reading those very old threads and I was wondering what the latest Odin version is used for 2.3.3.

Turns out We/I have been using the wrong button combo for download. Download mode is: Vol DOWN+Home+Power On.!!! Recovery mode is Vol UP+Home+Power On. I used Fuguroot with my stock kernel from RAMAD (senior developer). Flashed with odin & it took LESS THAN 2 MIN! Check out this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901.Hope this helps. Do remember to thank Ramad and Nicademus!

I don't have a galaxy tab, but it should be similliar to my galaxy s. I think your device is NOT bricked. As long as you can get to download mode, your device is NOT bricked. If you can get there, you should try to flash with odin/heimdall again. I think you must have done something wrong in the flashing process. AFAIK the logo is displayed by bootloader (primary), so if nothing went wrong with flashing the secondary one (download mode), you should be able to flash again.
Halo everyone!
i need your help wherever you can.
i have a galaxy tab p1000 from MTN in south africa. last week i downloaded overcome kernel and tried to install it through CWM. i download the script to check if my bootloader was blocked, it said no. so i proceeded with the install and everything was ok. then i got a 32GB sd card and moved all my games to there.
what i never realised is that the gyro stopped working with all the games using it.
i thought maybe it was the new kernel, so i decided to restore back the original which i made a backup. after the restore finished my tab just got stuck on the screen where it shows galaxy tab. i can't go to recovery mode anymore but i can go into download mode. So i got a thread on this forum which talks about bricked tabs, i followed the steps but everytime the flashing fails. now my tab is longer detected by my laptop and i still get the same problem.
im still able to get to download mode.
Please if you get reffer me to any solutions that you have come accross, i would really appreciate it!
Thanx
Go to samfirmware.com and download the version of your firmware. Reflash that, be aware that you may need to recheck the bootloaders. Best advice I can give...
For about a week now my samsung galaxy tab p1000 keeps freezing on the samsung logo screen and every minute ore so vibrates very short.
No matter how long i wait it keeps like that . Ive tryed the reset from the recovery mode (powerbutton + volume up) but no luck. The tab is still on a stock fw 2.2 i believe. and no root or anything.
Im very new on the whole rom stuf so some help is needed on how to restore the tab. I havent flashed it or anithing. Also it gives a error like in the screenshot below:
You should flash your tab and install a new firmware that's the only solution

oke i figured that much yesterday, when reading some topics, but wich rom do i need to use?? because i dont know how to root the tab because it wont boot ore is rooting not a must?
dude... get the latest 2.3.3 firmware...
you may check www.samfirmware.com to see latest firmware for your deivce. If you are in ASIA region, look for JPI edition. Its good, fast and stable.
Use ODIN to flash, with REPARTITION ENABLE... once complete flashing, reboot, and repeat the FLASHING again... DO IT TWICE..., but REPARTITION ONCE only...
Do i have to fully boot between flashing, or after first flash straight to download mode?

to play safe, let it boot.. but you can skip the configuration and shutdown and go into download mode..

Im at your same state. My tab hangs on samsung logo and lets me to download alone. I can help you with the drivers part. Im sure you have the Kies in your system. Just push the on button and connect your phone to the pc and run Kies. You have an option to troubleshoot which will update the drivers for your phone. This worked for me. For the rest of the part, there is a chap who is helping me on this forum and he advised me to go for stock ROM. Ill try that today after sufficiently charging up my phone.
I ve been searching for a while now and looks like this is common and nothing much to worry about. Ill keep you posted on what happened on my attempt to odin flash the stock ROM.
Hello friend, my tab is back and working fine now. Hope tried connecting kies to get your driver up for the tab. Once its up you can get to the download and flash stock rom using odin. This would bring your phobe back to life.
I am currently running on overcome experience rom. Its pretty good and they have great instructions on their site. Try that you should be all set.
Best of luck.
I have the exact same issue. I've been trying to flash a Euro 2.3.3 for the last 5 hours. Anything special you did before I create a new thread? I've done this a billion times on my old tab....I just got this one today off ebay.

Can you be more specific on the state of your G-Tab?
What firmware were you using before the problem occurs?
if you are updating from proyo, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs. For your reference you can follow these following steps (given you can access download mode).

I doubt you will ever get Kies to work with custom ICS rom in your tab.

Use the latest version of odin. Also go into download mode before connecting to pc. Plase thank me if you found this useful.
Hi guys,
I got a new Galaxy S i9000 in China and it was already rooted and had some crap Chinese Android 2.3 ROM on it. I used the existing CWM to install Cyanogen 10 and it went alright on the first boot, but when I went to flash the Google Apps it got stuck in a bootloop and only goes to the CWM that is installed alongside Cyanogen. So basically the phone is in a loop that always ends in recovery mode.
I am able to access the SD card by mounting it in CWM and copy ROMs there over the USB cable, but no matter what ROM I install, it always goes back to recovery, even if that is a different recovery installed by the different ROM. None of the key combinations I have tried can get the phone into download mode, so Odin or Heimdall or adb or anything like that do not work, otherwise I would just Heimdall One-click back to stock XXJVT and try again.
Does anybody know what went wrong? I think it might be something to do with the different partitioning required for the step from Android 2.3 to 4.1. After a bit more reading it seems that maybe the bootloader wasn't updated, can I do that from recovery? Could I try flashing the Replicant recovery image from CWM or is that getting a bit risky seeing as if it goes wrong I have no download mode available? How can I use the working CWM recovery to get back to a bootable system?
Thanks, please let me know if you need more details!
Cheers from China :silly:

compacity, your thinking was right. This is a fake/repacked M110S sold as a Galaxy S. This is particularly annoying because my friend paid extra for it in the shop to get the 'guaranteed original HK international version'. Damn Chinese shops. I found out that download mode is just home + power on this phone, so will flash to stock and take it back tomorrow.

Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.
Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.
Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me
Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.
