BAD thing after 2.2.1 update

I have updated the phone to android 2.2.1 and after reboot it appears Samsung's logo, vibrate once, but then it goes to a black screen, vibrating something like this: "bzzz.....bzz-bzz.............bzzz....bzz-bzz...." and so on )
The phone didn't restarted by himself, I had to chose system reboot. There were some red lines, but I don't remember what they were saing, as I did not pay attention to them
The update was made through Kies. The phone was with 2.2 version and was rooted with some app from the market, don't remember which, and is from Orange Romania.
So...what I need to do? Does anyone knows? It's not even my phone, my brother has it, but I'm the one who wanted the update )
L.E.: LagFix was also installed on the phone and I think those errors was from some files which could not be edited or something like that...and please, I'm a little desperate...

Which firmware you had before update? 2.1 Eclair? Most known lagfixes supports for 2.2 froyo
Did you tried your luck with odin?

Thank you androidsl for reply. The phone had froyo 2.2. I don't know where to get odin, this is what I'm searching now. I am downloading I9000XXJPY.rar from samfirmware right now. After I'll get it, I will try to install it with odin, even if I never used it before
And that charghing battery appears on screen when I plug it in USB powered off like it's charging. If I turn it on, no sound as a new hardware detected hears, so it's posible to do anything with odin if my computer doesn't see the phone connected?
Another thing...I can't get the phone in download mode :| It must be the one with 3 buttons problem..damn! What can I do?

My every post have a THANKS button. you can thank me from clicking on that
Did your phone have working 3 button download mode?
Press Volume down key and while holding that press home key. while keep pressing those two, press the power button and hold the all three keys until you saw the boot screen. then release all keys.
If you have a yellowish screen saying "Download mode, do not turn off the target", Man this is your lucky day

If I press those keys and release them after that samsung galaxy s logo, it gos into that black screen and vibrating thing again. If I keep pressing those 3 buttons for a long time it just rebooting continuously (samsung galaxy s logo appears-disappears-appears-disappears-appears-disappears etc until I release the buttons and goes into that black screen)
So, to be clear what is going on with the phone. It's turned off. I turn it on and it displays that samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 logo, then that animation with that sound..and that's all. After that..a black screen and vibrations

If you can not get to download mode that is a thing to consider. no download mode mean no odin
In that case i think you have to get a custom USB flashing cable to get into download mode. i saw ebay have that cable for a low price

Or return phone to vendor for repair .
jje

you need to hold vol down + home + power while the phones off and it should go into download mode.
what rom did you have before trying JPY?

My brother is leaving town after a few hours and he needed the phone. Eh...)
I will buy a microUSB cable and mod it for download mode. If that's not working...I will go with it on a service. Thank you guys. I thought that something could be done, even the 3 buttons method doesn't work

Galaxy Gear(SM-V700) stuck in reboot loop, recovery & download mode will not load

was updating my galaxy gear to mk7 using odin 3.09, once it finished and rebooted, now it's stuck in a reboot loop, and is stuck at the samsung screen(the one right after the samsung logo screen).
i can get into the option to select download or recovery mode, but when i try launching them it just reboots back into the reboot loop.
tried everything thing i found from google and from xda, still can't get past the reboot loop.
any helps would be great, im at my wits end.

sorry for the post guys, i finally found this post. WHICH WORKED!

I was also stuck for a few hours at SAMSUNG" too after downgrading my Gear back to Android from Tizen... until I found a post here that I'm unable to locate right now. I had to do only one thing slightly different that I'll elaborate below. So when you're soft-bricked at the SAMSUNG logo, do as follows: -
- Long press power button until you see "Rebooting"
- ASA you see that, release the power button momentarily, and now start pressing it and releasing it repeatedly for about 10 times until...
- you see the screen that has the choices to Continue, Download & Recover
- Press the power button to cycle through these choices until Recover is selected
Here's the tricky part now that worked for me after a few tries
- To select Recover now, you'll need to long press power button for about 4 seconds... any less and the selection will cycle to Continue, any more and the Gear will reboot
- If you've pressed it for the right duration, you'll see the green droid man with a message 'installing configurations' or something like that (and the Gear will probably reboot before or after that... forgot that now!)
- Then you'll see the now dreaded SAMSUNG logo again... but if you're holding the Gear in your hands, you'll feel a slight vibration... I KNEW something was going to be different when I felt that and sure enough, the Gear turned on showing the short-cuts to the videos to download the Gear Manager
- The rest should be straightforward.
I can empathize how anyone might be feeling since I went through that sickening feeling for a few hours before hitting jackpot, so if the above doesn't work or if you need any more details, just let me know.
Good luck!

re: download mode
I, too, can't seem to get into download (DL will be used for shorthand for this discussion) mode.
I'm probably missing the "timing" to get into DL mode. Am I supposed to long-press on the power when the "samsung galaxy gear" splash screen comes up or during the samsung blue halo animation?
I'm going to need a thorough walkthrough for this, please as this is my first glaaxy gear that I've owned and want to use it.
Thank you XDA for all that you do.

same issue

I have done this for like 20 times and it is still stuck on reboot loop.

I can't get past the logo screen. Can get to download and power off and continue but when I select recovery it just goes straight to Samsung galaxy gear logo
Also... When in download it says
Current binary: custom
System: custom

Problem with my SIII Mini (GT-I8190) booting up

So I was using my phone normally and it suddenly turned off at around 30% battery (my battery is in a pretty bad state and I do know I have to replace it) but after leaving to charge for a bit and then turning it on it goes to the initial logo that says 'Samsung GALAXY S III Mini" and the phone doesn't go past it, it restarts infinitely and won't go past the inital logo, not even to the part where it shows up an animated blue samsung logo, I've tried infinite times doing volume-up + home button + power button and it doesn't go to the system recovery mode, it just doesn't go past the samsung SIII logo, so I've tried installing 3 different firmwares that are supposed to work through odin (Yes, the phone does boot to download mode with odin once you press volume down + home + power, but not recovery) and all of them have the same problem, it gets to the initial logo and restart infinitely, I haven't messed with the odin options (so the default 2 have always been checked), don't know what they do and every place I check out says to not mess with these options so I haven't touched them yet, so today I went to a local store and informed about my problem with the phone, they tried a new battery (just for test, didn't buy) and the phone still has the same problem, they told me I can leave it there and that they'll fix it within 1 day but I don't have the money for it right now (I believe they'll do the same thing I did?)... so that's about all I've done thus far.. what do you guys recommend me to do?
Im a newb about this stuff on installing OS/Firmware/whatever on mobile devices (never done this stuff before, only doing this because my phone has this problem) so if you're gonna tell me something please include some steps on what I should be doing!
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys.. I have a problem with my phone here's the story of what happened & what I have done so far:

GT-N7000 stuck in both Welcome & Recovery modes!

Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful
Regards,
