I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.
Hi
im on custom jvu 2.3.6 and everything keeps closing
the dialer and messages especially
There is no force close at all.
It started about two weeks after i flashed it. It gradually gets worse and worse sometimes they stay open sometime not.
I re flashed and the problem went away but came back.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this.
How can i back my phone up so I've got all my messages and numbers.
Kies does not find the phone but oden does
thanks
I advice you to wipe cache and dalvik cache via recovery or delete data of the applications that cannot working fine via "Settings"
I've wiped cache and delvik that didn't work. Ill try delete data
Can't find the option to wipe data from each app
its mainly message and call app that's the problem
Go to "Settings">"Applications">"All"

You could try titanium backup or rom toolbox, long press the app and you will get a menu to clear whatever, but in titanium select the app, clear data,
Fixing the permissions via cwm might help also

I'm on rocket Rom reloaded
My phone has become slow over time and I would like to factory reset it . I tried doing all the wipes but the data from the apps still remains on my internal memory.
How do I completely wipe my phone??
Just format your data in cwm. If it doesn't work, maybe you have a broken cwm.

I had this a lot and gave up wiping internal from recovery, it never worked properly. Never asked if anyone else had successfully done it. I just mount the internal to PC, select all and delete, easiest way to ensure properly wiped.

I was in the process of fixing another glitch and I wiped cache and delvik cache in TWRP recovery to try and fix it, but now I can't even get my phone to turn on. I can't boot into recovery, power button+vol up button thing won't work either. I made a backup with TWRP on my SD before I did all this but yeah, pretty buggered.
Anyone got any ideas, please?
Try to use Xperia Companion and repair your Z. During my 7.1.1 experiments I must have gone though this many times (at least 5) but always managed to bring it back from the dead.
The repair will wipe the phone but it doesn't touch the SDcard. Having backups via Xperia Companion is always a good start.
Good luck

Yes I fear that is the only solution that has worked...but this brings me to another issue; how can I recover my apps and app data? I made a backup with TWRP but that backup has the Ultra Stamina Mode glitch on it. If I were to completely narrow it down I only want to recover my notes from the Inkpad Notepad app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.workpail.inkpad.notepad.notes&hl=en). I can restore the backup anytime as its on my SD card, how could I grab this app and its data to use after the reset?
Out of my comfort zone

My Z is used for experimentation and has no useful information on it. I have never used TWRP to make any backups so I cannot give any further advice, sorry

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work backup your device and perform a Hard Factory reset

Adding DUN to the APN name Types list fixed this problem for me
