[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me

Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...

Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.

I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.

Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

Sorry, your advice didn't work, Odin still doesn't detect the phone

Try to change the USB port and install ONLY the phone driver -if you don't find you can contact me.

I don't understand, your download mode works?

he said download mode works but odin cant detect the phone .
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .

Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem

Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..

Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
6)Flash firmware
7)Enjoy

Hi, excuse my for my stupid question,
there are problem in flashing with non original Samsung USB cable? Isn't it the same with any Micro USB adapter??

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!

No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

Can you try to make the operation on another computer?-install usb driver first...

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem. Now i get a mobile network error, with one carrier it works and with another it does not. The mobile network detected is always really low.

[Q] How to use ODIN to upgrade firmware on Samsung I9070

Hi There,
I would like to upgrade my I9070 to the latest firmware, i have the official correct firmware for my country (HK), but unfortunately Kies has stopped working via USB (Your device is not supported by Kies 2.0 - think this was after one of the last updates, but anyway i have given up trying to fix Kies).
So i would like to upgrade via ODIN, but not quite sure how to do it and don't want to brick my phone - could anyone give some quick instructions, i know how to put the phone into download mode etc etc, just not sure on what i do in ODIN, i have a single md5 file, but what buttons do i press in ODIN, seem to be options saying phone, pda, etc - the version of ODIN is 4.03.
Many Thanks !
Dan

Can someone share Odin and suitable firmware Rom here ?

Hi Guys ,could anyone help out a newbie ?
I found all the ODIN instructions, basically my official firmware i want to upgrade to is a one package deal, so according to all the reports i have read i need to select the one package option instead of all the different PDA etc options. No problem, i understand that.
The only problem i have now is that the ODIN versions i have tried ill not recognise my phone when it boots up in download mode (none of the COM ports turn yellow), the PC can recognise the device, no problem - and i can transer files over in explorer.
I have tried ODIN 4.34, 4.03 & 3.98, all with different leads and different USB ports.
The really strange bit, is i have an older version of ODIN (1.31 which does recognise the phone, except it is so old it doesn't have the single integrated package option, so i can't use it).
Can anyone help, as i am now totally stuck with no way to update my phone - i've already tried re-installing drivers from Kies etc etc many times
Thanks all

Research heimdall, or heimdall-one-click. The one-click is like Odin, and the regular one requires u to unzip the rom before u flash it. U have to put all the unzipped files in their corresponding fields, but it allows u to flash a single part of the rom, or the whole rom. So say u just want the recovery. Or just the kernel. U have that option. I like heimdall more. And maybe that will recognize your phone.

Thanks very much, but looked a bit too complicated for what i wanted to do. In the end, i just went for it and used the old version of ODIN, and selected the md5 file under PDA, hit start and held my breath. Luckily it worked.
My phone is now miles faster, and as a bonus (or not) it fixed my kies recognition problem, thanks for your help !

Hey man
it's already a good thing you can get into download mode.
First off, you'll have to search for a stock rom for your country on Sammobile, go to this page and enter your device's information and your country: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
Second off, you'll have to unzip/unrar the file from Sammobile, which will give you a .tar file - that right there is the stock firmware that we'll now flash onto your device again.
Third off, you should put your device in download mode and connect your S3 Mini to your computer via a micro-USB cable (if your computer doesn't recognise the phone, download Samsung Kies and that will install the correct drivers so your computer does recognise it).
Then open up Odin and put the .tar file in the 'PDA' section. Leave the other sections empty! Hit start and wait until it says that the device is all good to go. Don't disconnect the cellphone until Odin says so!

They have other methods of getting into recovery mode as well such as ADB method as i am using that method. Just search how to install adb and boot into recovery.

To achieve with ADB mode I need to install some application on android?
when I searched about it, the tutorials show before installing an application

You install onto computer and use the command prompt in windows to boot to recovery just search how to install adb. It can get confusing to download and install it might take a bit of time.

Kies and GG - Connection issues

Hi all. After reading that Tizen was out via an update through Kies, I figured I would give it a shot. I downloaded the official Kies 3.0 and 2.6 and neither will recognize my gear. I have tried the following.
1. Using different USB ports on my desktop
2. Using a different computer
Possible issues: I have read that 2.7 is necessary, yet I can't find the download anywhere and updating does not work. Also I am using a generic usb to micro usb cable... not sure if that would cause an issue.
Does anyone have anything for me to try?

same here any help?????????

In order to jump from android to Tizen you need the first release ending with NE9. In order to flash Tizen, put watch into download mode. Hold power button until you see it say rebooting, then tap 5 times. Connect to PC and use Odin to flash stock Tizen firmware.
Download*Odin v3.09
https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Reboot and you'll be stock Tizen, first release. In order to upgrade Tizen you can flash the newest firmware the same way.

Help required: Galaxy Tab

I've been searching XDA & Google for about 1 month but can't find a solution. I don't know why everywhere in some threads whenever somebody asks the same problem there's no reply to that question. So I decided to post this question here to try my luck...
Problem & History:
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000R with DoonLord V_4, it couldn't root it but left the tab with touch problem then I tried to root it with famaroot various versions, I then again tried to root it with z4root V_1.3.0, all attempts were useless, I don't know which attempt of them, made my tab unable to connect to pc even in download mode.
When I set my tab to connect to Kies or Media it shows that it's connected but PC doesn't detect it. Please help...
Tab Specification:
Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 (Rogers)
Firmware Version: GB 2.3.6
Baseband Version: P1000XXJR2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 ([email protected] #2

Thanks for your reply but I have already gone through this post but as I mentioned problem is that PC doesn't detects it even when I put the Tab in DL mode. Is there any method to root it? So that I could use Mobile Odin to restock it.

It is an usb-driver problem and not rooting, I'm 99% sure of it. It's the PC that HAS to find the Tab first.

Hmmmm

I've tried on another PC and with another USB cable but in vain. Other Smartphones connect it without any problem.

Any smartphone or the P1000 are not the same. I have had on multiple occasions that even Samsung Kies did not recognise it and had to reinstall Kies. Same for the Samsung Mobile phones drivers. And don't forget to reboot your PC after installing drivers.
Keep on trying because it is still going into download mode and logic tells it should be accessible. Does the PC give a notification like driver not found or similar?

NO.

No. There's no activity in PC when I connect it. It neither shows new hardware found nor any other notification like unrecognized device etc.
BTW I have reinstalled Kies, updated it, uninstalled it, installed separate drivers for Samsung USB but no gain...

One last option, let the battery become completely empty (0% charge). Recharge and try again, it rescued my tab once after a bad flash.
That is to my knowledge the last resort.

Alas!

What version of windows are you on? Because windows 8 is a *****, Vista or 7 should work.
(Or GNU-Linux). And have you tried Heimdall already? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323527
Heimdall download https://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/downloads/list

Get a stock ROM and how to use Heimdall (these are old instructions so there could be newer versions available).
-----------Heimdall install instructions ------------------
1. Download Heimdall.
2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and install it. Download it here List All Devices.
5. From the USB Device list chose "Samsung USB Composite DEvice".
6. Press "Install Driver", click "Yes" to the prompt and if you receive
a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver
click "Install this driver software anyway".
7. Done. This only needs to be done once.
-----------How to use Heimdall-------------------------
1. Put your tab into download mode - Power off Tab, once powered down hold power and the volume down button at the same time. You will see a android digging.
2. Start Heimdall
3. Hook your tab up to your PC or MAC and you will see a progress bar. That must say Ready to get heimdall to work.
4. Find you Firmware and unzip it until you see the following files below.
(NOTE: when you first unzip your firmware it may unzip into a .tar file unzip the .tar file to get the files below.)
a. Zimage
b. FactoryFS.rfs
c. Param.lfs
d. Boot.bin
e. SBL.bin - not always included
f. cacher.rfs
g. dbdata
h. modem.bin - not always included
5. Place each of those files in their correct spot and hit start.
ONE BIG NOTE: if you use a PIT file do NOT select repartition. It might brick your tab as heimdall has a problem when selecting repartition w/ a pit file. It is ok to use the pit file just make sure repartition is unchecked.
(Use ODIN for repartition with pit)

Got it working...
Thanks buddy, I bought a half dozen of USB cables for the tab and got it working with one of them at last... I don't know but I thought it was the last way out to try different cables... And at last, I got it working after long...
Please let me know the correct way of rooting, as DoomLord v. 4 has already failed to root it. Please guide if possible... I have a Ragers (Canada) Tab. GT-P1000R
