Hi all!
I have a rather major problem.
Today Kies told me that I have a new upgrade for the firmware of my Samsung Galay S i9000. It ran stuck rom with only a few apps installed. I said i want to upgrade so it started to check everything, done a backup of my contacts, started to download the firmware on my PC. So far everything is good.
After that the phone rebooted into an android working logo and said "Downloading..." it stayed like this for a while and after that Kies gave an error. Now the phone is stuck on this screen. Disconecting the device from the usb cable and pluging it back in does't do anything. Kies tries to connect to it but after a couple of minues gives an error that the device is not responding and I should try to rebot the device.
Any idea what to do? This is the work phone so I have to fix this.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Fixed the problem with odin. I know I should get a warning for not searching first...but I panicked.
Hi guys, I'll try to explain my problem:
My Milestone has been running the rom "cm-7.2.4e-umts_sholes" since two years without issues... until a few days ago: aleatory restarts and freezes. Yesterday, I turned it on and was stuck on "M" logo. Several restarts later, it shows the "2ndBoot - Kernel Restart in progress" logo and nothing else.
I tried to reflash the rom and encountered some issues:
Bootloader 90.73, I flashed the vulnerable recovery "vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf" and enter in recovery stock. When I tried to run the "OpenRecovery_2ndbootOR_v1_2" the OR doesn't start at all. Black screen, restarts and recovery stock again. Only the "OpenRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS_inkl_ext_mmcfix_parted_update" does the trick and starts the OR with red letters. After all the obligatory wipes, applied update from "cm-7.2.4e-umts_sholes" and then reboot system. And the same "M" stuck or "2ndboot" stuck screen. I tried wipes again, but no results.
So, I tried to go back to an earlier version and installed "SHLA_U2_02.02.0_USASHLSPERARLA017.0R_USASHLSPERARLAT_P037_A015_HWp2a_1FF" with RDSLite. It boots up Android BUT the touchscreen not works at all, even with several reboots. Tried to reflash Cyanogenmod from here, but the same issues above listed appears.
I really going crazy with this... Did I make some mistake at any point? Must I reflash the bootloader 90.73 if I found it? (besides all the webs containing all the .sbf's and bootloaders appears to be offline by now).
Any solution/advice you can give me please?
Thanks in advance and sorry my english, isn't my first language.
Hi all,
I use CM12 from MacLaw in combination with TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery for about 3 weeks now.
Yesterday the phone didn't respond properly, was very very slow and I basically couldn't use the phone. It felt like the CPU was at 100% all the time, so unlocking the phone, calling and so was nearly impossible. A reboot (battery removal) didn't solve it, also the pin code for the sim card came after a few minutes while usually this will come right after starting.
So eventually I did a factory reset from the menu as I did on other occasions just to get rid of this kind of problems.
Well, right after the Samsung s3 mini logo I get the TWRP logo and it will be stuck in there, I see it blinking every few seconds and that's it. When I connect the phone to USB I hear it connecting-disconnecting every few seconds (bing-bong, bong-bing sound).
After a while I flashed TWRP using Odin again, this didn't give any problem but it will still hang in this TWRP loop.
I found some references to this problem but no real solutions. Someone suggested to use ADB but I don't know how to do that, nor could I find a suitable guide on this.
Can anyone help me? Or is it bricked somehow?? I suspect not, download mode is still working.
Thanks for any help!
Hello,
First of all, sorry for my english as it is not my mother language
I've tried today flashing CM13 on my Wiko Rainbow, but I either failed following the instructions or the files I had were corrupted, leading to a never-ending boot.
I don't know if it was already a soft-brick back then, as the phone turned off while booting just after the installation, but 40min after it (obviously because of en empty battery, which was at 37% before installation)
At first, when the phone was plugged into the computer, the phone was booting up, showing the charging icon for a few seconds, and then was going into the infinite boot for 10 seconds, and then rebooting for the same process.
When I was charging the phone on a wall plug, the phone was just in an infinite loop.
The problem was that, when I did the Volume down + Volume up + power thing, I had a choice between Factory mode and Custom mode, but both of them led me to a black screen, and the phone powered off.
I then searched how to install a custom recovery with a soft-bricked phone, and I got a tutorial on SP Flash Tool, that told me to use a MT6582 scatter file, and to select only a Recovery. I downloaded a TWRP for my phone, and then started download, retracted the battery and plugged the phone on the computer.
I got this message : "brom error s_fthnd_file_is_not_loaded_yet"
The software told me to format the Flash, which I did, and this error now became this : "BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)"
The thing is that now, the soft brick is now a hard brick, and I can't get the phone to boot anymore, adb doesn't recognize my device, and after installing and reinstalling my phone drivers, no solution came out yet, so I'm hopping that you'll find a solution to help my problem
Thanks.
Regards.

You're going to need the firmware (not just TWRP) to fix your phone. Have you been able to download it?

using SP Tool gives directly through the USB
I tried to do stock rom (P1000XWJQB8_P1000DBTJQ1_DBT) with pit (gt-p1000_mr.pit) with ODIN. During the flashing process it stuck somewhere on (hidden) and after some time it shows fail. But device is stuck on downloading screen and shows half process bar and I wait for hour and so but device is still stuck on the same. So, I decided to turn off and start the device again and I did. But after turning off when i tried to start device again it wont start I mean there is no screen booting happening just back camera flash every time i tried to power on the device or tried to charge it or connect it to USB. Even ODIN or Hemidell is not detecting it anymore.
Please help me.......
