I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)

Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further

if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.

Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !

There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it

Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.

I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?

They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay

Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.

I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.

Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.

u can acces the phone sd in recovery..

Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.

Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.

how to install miui?

[Q] CM10 Stuck at bootloop, can't enter recovery, and computer doesn't detect

So I've seen a lot of threads on here with this kind of problem but none of the solutions work for me.
I just flashed CyanogenMod 10 nightly, was tinkering around on it, rebooted and I was just stuck in a bootloop. I can't get into recovery but I can get into download mode. However, my computer just doesn't detect the phone at all. I can't get Odin to detect it to flash a new bootloader or anything. I've tried installing Nexus drivers and everything. It just doesn't even detect that anything has been plugged into the computer. But the usb powers on the phone. If I plug into power I just get a spinny loading wheel that doesn't move and refreshed every few seconds.
I'm stuck. I can't get into recovery to flash, and I can't get my computer to detect it to flash. Help me please?
EDIT:
Okay so tried 3 different USB cables and I've found one that works. I tried flashing a new bootloader but I used the bootloader bit on Odin instead of pda (total noob mistake) now my screen is just black and won't turn on. I can get into download mode to flash stuff again. But what do I need to put in the bootloader section to get it back to normal?

I think you have to start from Gingerbread again
Search on samifirmware a 3 files firmware of Android 2.3.6
After that search on google a Step by Step guide how to flash a Rom with Odin.
I think after that i should work.

Nothing. Never put anything in the bootloader section. Instead, look for a rom that has bootloader in it. I believe that the darky resurrection rom has bootloader.

I had the same issue with cm-10-20121125-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd (after with cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd as well!),
symptoms: after automatic install of mentioned version the phone rebooted, but I've got stuck in bootlop, and I couldn't enter in Recovery Mode, just in Download Mode.
I've managed to fix it in the following way:
1. I've downloaded the Semaphore kernel for JB (Semaphore ver. 2.6.0), and unpacked it.
2. I've used heimdall: `heimdall flash --kernel zImage`
3. After that the phone boots and CM finishes the upgrade as usual. (I've did not lost anything from my data.)
(Environment data: OS: Ubuntu 12.04, Heimdall 1.3.2)

Bootloop problem

Hi!
I just recieved a Galaxy S and i have a problem.
At the beggining, the phone bootloops. Then I full wipe it, so now doesn't have that problem. Now the problem is, that when it loaded and show the start settings (select lang, date, time etc.) every single application on the phone "Force Close" and the phone reboot itself and repeat the same procedure. I don't know what kernel, ROM the phone use, but i think it is the stock one (2.3.4 or 2.3.6)
I am able to go to Download Mode, but when I do that, the phone can't connect with ODIN, also my computer doesn't recognize my phone when i am in Download Mode (when i try to turn on the phone, then my computer recognize: Samsung Android USB ...)
I also tryed to change the ROM via recovery, but there i've got very few options (reboot, apply updates, wipe data, wipe cache), so i'm not able to change the ROM from there.
Please, tell me what to do.
Edit: Sorry for my bad english

I'm pretty sure you only installed the wrong USB drivers. There should be some sort of tutorial on the web to get the right drivers for an Odin access. Anyways, be sure that KIES and all child processes are killed when using Odin (use the task manager to look that up).
Feel free to ask further questions

Hey! Thanks for the drivers above. The funniest thing is that the computers in my school recognized my phone, so do ODIN. But my computer still not recognized the device. Tonight i will send files to my flashdrive so tomorrow i will flash ROM with ODIN in my school (i have an admin account ) When i get back from school, i'll post the results here.
[sorry for my bad english, again]

Hi, again! Today I messed everything up. First, i flashed with ODIN the Darky's ROM but after installation 20 minutes the phone freezed at the logo (no progress there). Then I flashed CWM with ODIN and tried to install CM10 without success. After the installation the only thing which was changed was the CWM (new version 6.x.x.x). Then I tried to flash new kernel (Semaphore_JB_2.5.0s) and now its freezes at the logo "SEMAPHORE". I dont have recovery anymore, only the Download Mode.
Please, give me a link with the steps or show me how to install new ROM property, because this is the 3rd day i'm trying to start the phone with new ROM. Kies don't help, because "USB Debugging" is not activated on my phone (i can't activate it, because of the problem).
Thanks.

for cm9 with odin check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
Flashing shouldn't take more than a few minutes. CM9 was stable for me - with cm10 I still have a few problems.

start from stock rom
I think you should flash stock rom first.
flash GB firmware 2.3.6 (recommend JVU).
flash CF-root for jvu.
you can find stock firmware easily here as well.as instructions.
make sure play around with your phone for a while after done. then go ahead to any custom rom.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 upgrade issues

Hello,
I bought a used Galaxy S GT-I9000, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband I9000DTJG3, Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2, build ECLAIR.DTJG4
I thought, no problems, I will upgrade it, however, I haven't been able to do it so far.
First, I downloaded the latest Kies, installed the drivers, but then it told me that Kies 2 doesn't support I9000. I deinstalled it and downloaded Kies 1.5 but then it wouldn't let me upgrade (this device's version cannot be updated error). So, official update is a no go.
Second, I tried to access the download mode with volume up, home, power, but to no avail, neither with volume down, home, power, or volume up and down, power. So I found the way to reboot into download with adb instruction.
Now, when the phone is in download mode, I connected it and installed the driver from Heimdall. I tried flashing CWM through it, but it cannot connect.
I also tried flashing rom with Odin, but it recognizes the phone when it's turned on, however, once it's reboot into download, PC sees the device, but Odin doesn't recognize it, so I cannot update the software from here.
I hope that the above is detailed enough for someone to figure out what is wrong with the phone, and how can I update it at least to GB, but I prefer CM10.
Now it's really buggy, Facebook sometimes works, sometimes not, applications lag, and I know that Galaxy S is a good phone, otherwise I would've bought something else.
I have managed to root the phone via ADB, and I also installed ROM Toolbox. However, it shows no recoveries available and I don't dare try flashing ROM before I have access to a recovery, as my phone boots to recovery only via adb command, no 3button combination works.
I cannot find CWM Rom manager to install on my phone and flash recovery as I9000 is not supported.
Thank you greatly for your support.

hello guys m new here I hope m doing things right
so my problem is that my phone (rooted) stucked at bootloob after pureperformance flashed w/ cwm so the only method to survive was factory reset...and the phone worked normally except I cnt do ota bcoz of device status is custom even ive didn't installed any custom rom (actually ive tride this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282 with odin before I had rooted my phone but failed to flash and device worked normally, so its nt the problem right?) :/
so after hours in the web ive seen posts sugget using triangle away and it reseted my flash counter only but device status still custom...so searched again for hours and hours and there were posts recommending replace cwm with the stuck recovery, but the problem my s3 mini didn't come with recovery mod !
again with continuous searching ive concluded it maybe a csc/baseband problem?cuz the one I have is very different from stock firmware available on the web (sammobile/Samsung-updates...)

So you are stuck in a bootlop? If so Get Odin and some i8190 stock rom from sammobile install, drivers for your phone so the pc and Odin can detect the phone.
Open Odin,
Your phone must be turned off, now press volumen down button, home button and power button lastly hold these three until it turns on, now reléase the buttons it will boot into download mode
connect the phone Odin will detect it
then select ap
search for the rom you just downloaded unzip it if you didn´t select the tar file and flash it
when it finishes your phone will restart
