Hi,
At first I would like to apologize for any grammar errors I'm from Holland but I'll try to do it right
I've gotten myself into a problem, I tried to update my Galaxy S which runs on Froyo and it's rooted.
It all went pretty well until I had to reboot my phone, it show the moving S sign and plays the music at start-up but wont go any further and keeps displaying a black screen and from time to time it vibrates a bit.
I don't know what I should do now and any help would be very much appreciated.
If someone needs moor information about the error or something else just say so
Greetings!
hello i had the exact same problem as you. in the end i had to reset factory setting which will delete most of the data (on mine it deleted text messages and contacts). however this was months ago and there may be a better fix now (where you get to keep the data)
but with the phone off press and hold voume up + home button + power buton together for a few seconds (untill galaxy s appears on screen) and select the data reset option (volume keys are up and down, power key is used to select the highlighted option)
if you follow my method then you MAY lose data nut you will get your phone back. however there MAY be a better way than that.
Hi,
yes I've tried that but I can't seem to acces that menu, when I press home + power button + volume up it gets me in a loop of showing Galaxy S GT-19000, and then it keep on rebooting. So or I'm doing something wrong or my phone isn't working properly.
Seems that you have a broken SBL ( secondary boot loader ) . It can be fixed but you first need to make yourself or buy a Galaxy S Jig to enter Download mode , where you can flash a rom and hopefully repair your SBL also ( with Bell i9000M rom I repaired my SBL).
Yea, if the phone isnt detected by your computer you will need to make/buy a jig. Newer galaxy s phones had the option to enter download mode and recovery disabled.

So he send it to Samsung because I still got my factory warranty so its up to them I gues..

Hello,
Have you tried to restock your Galaxy Tab with odin in Download Mode?
Normally Volume Up + Power is recovery mode and Volume Down+Power is download mode and Volume Up + Volume Down + Power is power reset or unknown upload mode. You can search for GB stock safe for the Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 on Google. Flash ONLY firmware for your Samsung Galaxy Tab! If you flash firmware that is not for your Galaxy tab your Galaxy Tab can be hard bricked!!!! When you have restocked your Galaxy Tab with odin in Download Mode and your Galaxy Tab will stuck on Samsung you must enter Recovery Mode and select Wipe Data\Factory Reset and Confirm it and Wipe Cache Partition and confirm it.
Good Luck!

Download mode can be accessed by holding Volume Down and Home and Power buttons together.
If nothing happens and you're sure that your battery has some remaining charge, then there's a good chance it is hard bricked.
You could also try a USB Jig (ebay is your friend) and see if that helps but otherwise it's off to the Samsung Service Center for you.

try to go in download mode by pressing vol down plus home plus power button simultaneously. if it goes in download mode then flash original firmware of your phone and restore it
and if it doesn't go in download mode then there is nothing much we can do,,,, you have to take it to service center

Okay so i think it's bricked or something.
I have my cousins phone. She said she did some sort of update and the phone doesn't go past the logo/start up screen where it says galaxy note gt-n7000.
I've tried going to recovery mode to reset it by pressing volume up , power and home button. but this doesn't work. The logo comes on and then goes away. and comes back :s
if i press the volume down button and home and power. It works but odin won't detect the phone. Because my computer won't detect it! sigh
i've installed kies on the computer but nothing.
Anyone got any ideas ?
thx
