[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck in continues reboot loop

Phone: Galaxy S I9000 SGH-959V
Carrier: T-Mobil
Original firmware: Froyo (rooted)
Upgraded firmware: Gingerbread 2.3.6
Issue:
during attempted rooting of 2.3.6 using Odin 1.82 and sImage file under PDA, incurred failure during install.
phone was stuck with image of a phone and PC with ! in between.
got it out of that and now the phone is stuck in continous reboot loop.
I took the battery out and went into hard reboot mode. However, I CAN NOT restore factory settings because it will not acknowledge when I press home key and/or power key.
Please help!!!

You must have used odin to upgrade to 2.3.6 so go back into download mode and reflash that. Then flash something like semaphore to root. Maybe a good idea to post what files you are flashing first.

You must press Vol up+Home+Power for recovery or Vol Down+Home+Power for download

Can you enter to the download mode?
It happened to me one time, but not exactly how you tell it. While flashing with Odin, it stuck on the first step (something like factory, I don't remember), and I unplugged the phone and it was in a continuous loop with the first logo (Samsung Galaxy S I 9000 etc...). Then I entered to the download mode and reflashed again with Odin, then now was fine.
Sorry for my bad English.

try reflashing it again in odin with stock 2.3.6 firmware. reboot.
flash a kernel (semaphore) in odin.

Can you get it into download mode without it turning off? (Hold volume down + home button + power) Or recovery? (Hold volume up + home button + power?) Is it rooted with clockwork mode?

Maybe its a boot loop. Switch off your phone and check if download and recovery mode is available(see next paragraph).
If so follow the steps mentioned.
First of all download xxjw4 firmware for galaxy gt-I9000 from
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
1) Put your phone into Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power button) and perform a Wipe data/Factory reset, then a Wipe cache. When done pull the battery out for around ten seconds then re-insert.
(If recovery isn't working ignore this step)
2) Put the phone into Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power button)
3) Unzip the JW4 firmware folder you've downloaded to your Desktop.
4) Launch Odin and click on the button that says PDA and navigate to the PDA file you've just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
5) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin will say Added and a box will turn yellow to indicate it has recognised your phone.
6) Click the start button in Odin and sit back and wait for Odin to flash your phone. When it's finished it will take a few minutes longer for the phone to reboot than is usual so please don't panic. The phone will reboot.
7) When the phone has rebooted, remove the USB cable and you now have the latest 2.3.6. It might be a good idea to repeat step 1 to make sure nothing of the old firmware is left behind.
And that's it, seven steps to 2.3.6 JW4 Value Pack and TouchWiz 4.

Enjoy

If its a boot loop try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140
If not download the files from sammobile (2.3.6 xxjw4) put the .tar file in the PDA and 512 pit file in the pit section make sure the repartition is ticked then if it still in a boot loop search for the cfs root and flash that then get the file off the thread I gave you then flash that to the phone as instructed on the thread then your phone should work edit* you need to put your phone into download mode before plugging in and flashing

yeah i know the basics ! but stil it doesnt work ! can it be a hardware problem? and if it right how can i fix it ?

Did you try that method? And when did it start turning off, did you try mpding it or did it just start doing it? Does it he a knock when it turns off or is it at the same place everytime? If it stays turned on in download mode its probably software related also make sure the drivers are installed using kies

Does Odin recognize your phone (com12 or something like that in yellow)
If not then try different USB port or also different cable and computer.
According to my experience if you are able to go to download mode then there is always a way to fix the problem

[Q] Galaxy Ace S5830C - cant acess download mode

I read some tutorials here in the forum on how to root your phone! I was able to successfully perform. Until that point, my phone was still booting android 2.3.3 (ginger) that came from the factory.
Then I went into recovery mode and installed 5.0.2.6 ClockworkMod! Installed successfully too! Then I tried to install some roms modified for the S5830I, as read on the internet that the roms of them are compatible with the S5830C.
I tried the first version of the ICS lite and basic, the two images, when installed by clockwork gave no error messages in the terminal, but when you restart the machine could not boot the system.
I installed and booted each version of the ICS modificias separately. I tried other roms. gave some errors "gep.prop" because of non-compatibility with my model. In the end, tried to use the method with ODIN, but my phone can not boot the mod download! Yes, I tried all the tutorials!
I know I need to press the home button, power, volume down (...) I tried to use the ADB "adb reboot download", and also got no answer!! So ODIN does not detect my phone! Percebir also that the recovery mode always resets to a version e3 (I think it is the factory default recory) with this recovery can not seem to wipe the cache or data.
Really broke my phone? Why the hell i can get a good status of installation with the roms but can not boot them?

It's a classic
Yes you did break your phone, unless you try this last trick:
take out your battery
wait until your phone is completly uncharged internally (an hour or so)
go to a hot place like a radiator or somthing like that
do the "download mode trick" with the battery still out
put the battery in while still holding the buttons
repeate if it doesnt work
when you get the downloadmode, you are a lucky person. the rest you seem to know how it works... simply flash a new rom
I hope it works!

[Q] Flash CWM recovery on GT-19305?

Can it be done? How to do it?

through Odin. make sure it's for the i9305

The most recent CWM ported is in this thread, which also contains a link to Odin. Make sure Kies isn't running and that you have the right USB drivers, open Odin, put your phone in download mode (turn it off, then hold volume down + home while you turn it on again), connect your phone to your PC, and flash the .tar.md5 file as PDA.

1. First, download Odin from this link
Make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed. *If not download KIES from the Samsung site and install*
2. Plug your phone into the computer and start Odin.
3. Shutdown your phone and boot it in to download-mode by pressing Vol. down + home + power
4. Press the PDA-button in Odin and select your CWM-recovery file.
5. Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected.
6. When flashing is done you will se a message "PASS" and your device should restart automatically.
Congratiulations, you now have CWM flashed on your phone
Here's a link to a CWM recovery flashable file if you not have one alreddy. LINK
Creds for the CWM-recovery file upload goes to codeworkx

I have flashed the cwm file through odin. It passed but when I go into recovery it is still the stock recovery and not cwm. Why?

I've gotten the same problem. So.. i flashed the recovery, but whej the phone restarted i shut it down without booting.(i removed the battery when the s3 lte screen showed up). Then i entered recovery and it worked. (S3 lte reflashes stock recovery and other stock things on stock kernel when booting). If you want permanent cwm recovery, flash a custom kernel! I hope this will help you!

[Q] Can't boot, can't access recovery

...can access download mode.
So,
I downloaded cyanogenmod 11, but I kept getting com.android.systemui has stopped EVERY 2-3 seconds. I couldn't do anything.
So, I downloaded stock rom, but phone won't boot (samsung logo, mini 2 logo, vibrating at samsung animation and repeat) and I couldn't access recovery mode.
I tried other roms and Recovery PDA
... well, stuck on fat.bin.
After that, it got...weirder. When trying to boot, I got samsung logo, mini 2 logo...but no animation. Instead, just vibrating. No loop. Just vibrating.
I'm aware I lost this mobile, but I can't buy new right now

so much replies here...so many ways to fix...thank you so much... :silly:

The same problem

I am hopeless in this issue to but....
I think that the last chance for us is a ROM which we can flash directly through odin.
It could work but I could not find any. Could any one have a rom to flash through odin?
