i have flashed my galaxy s i9000 with clockworkmod recovery and i have applied a lagfix directly from the recovery menu.
Since this i cannot boot an my device keeps looping. i cannot get into download mode either. What can i do to recover? would it work if i make a connector to get my device in download mode?
Or am i stuffed?
what do you guys think??
Thank you for you help in advance.
What point does it boot to before looping? "S" logo? Android UI? Something else?
Did your download mode work before this started?
From XDA-Developers wiki:
Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.

Try if that works.
You can't access recovery mode/Clockworkmod either right?

Holding down the power button for about 10 seconds or so, should switch the device off.

I have have flash many roms in the past without a problem so I am relatively experienced with it. This last time that I flashed it has become stuck on the first boot screen that shows GALAXY S GT-I900 in white and 'powered by DarkCore...' etc. I realize sometimes it takes a while for the first boot when flashing a new rom, bu this has been over 30 mins. I decided to try and boot into recovery and re-flash it, but it won't boot to recovery! I hold down volume up, home and power and it just cycles between screen off and the first boot screen and never gets to recovery. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to fix it I would love to hear it. I fear something bad happened somehow.
Use the android SDK to boot into download mode via ADB or buy a jig from eBay if download mode isn't working dude, or you can try this....take battery out, hold vol up + home + power, and shove battery back in, it does get fiddly so its handy to have someone to help lol

I haven't faced such a prob. So I don't know if this method would work but someone else also suggested the same method to the same problem in a thread so giving it a try won't be a waste!

I bricked my tablet after I tried to change my font using font installer by jrummy?
It asked me to restart for changes to occur so I figured if I restarted on my own it would work the same way so I hit cancel. I restarted about 1 minute after I hit cancel.
My tablet will boot up to the AT&T "Rethink possible" screen (after the animation).
It will get stuck there with a pattern of light vibrations between a couple seconds each.
Currently running the stock AT&T ics rom posted in the android dev section for i957.
I've tried to boot into recovery but the Samsung screen doesn't come up until I let go of the buttons therefore leading it to reboot again.
Also tried to go into the emergency download mode ( power, up, down) but it didn't work either.
I appreciate all and any advice, please and thank you!
My device is rooted if that wasn't already implied, I will provide any other details if needed, please help!!
Thanks again!
Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Hold power and volume up buttons, etc. Does Odin recognize the device?
Do you have a custom recovery, and if so which one, or is it stock.

keep trying to get into download mode or recovery. should be possible. the font change will not affect recovery.
I was also performing a backup with titanium backup when I restarted does that make a difference?
I have clockwork mod recovery.
From experience, I can only go into recovery if the Samsung logo pops up for a milli second and I let go.
I actually haven't tried to see if Odin recognizes my device but I assumed if I couldn't go into download mode it wouldn't.

Were you restoring apps from a honeycomb Rom? That will cause a soft brick.

If you can get into recovery do a factory reset. That should get you out of a soft brick. You'll have to re-install your apps though.

I never use tibu anymore

Didnt see if you worked your way out of this or not. You may have to hold 3 finger salute (power, up, down) for up to 16 seconds. My guess is that covers the 8 seconds to reboot through any hang up plus up to 8 more to boot to menu.
Still no luck, the computer is not detecting my tablet.
I also wasn't restoring, I was just backing up my data. I'm letting it charge for now, anyone know what else I should do?
I really can't enter recovery OR download.
**** UPDATE****
Okay guys I finally fixed it. Will post details if anyone is still interested.
I'd be interested in the details.

How did you do?

I couldn't go into download mode until I did some weird trick with the buttons.
I had to hold the 3 buttons ( power, vol up, vol down) for a couple seconds.. like 6 seconds
THEN hold power and vol up for 2 secs
THEN back to power, vol up, vol down.
I did it by accident cuz I was frustrated but it ended up working so all is good
Thanks for all the help guys!!
I am in the Same Boat!

You enter recovery by power +vol up +home button. You were entering download mode which is necessary when you want to flash stock rom using Odin program.
