Hello guys.
I got a galaxy s (GT-I9000) from someone, so don't know what theyve been doing with it. Anyway, when I try to turn the phone ON, either it goes to the cyanogen mod splashscreen and reboots, and does that on a loop. Or it simply doesnt turn on. I cannot get into recovery mode, however I can get into download mode. I usually have to pull the battery a few times before I can either turn it on or get into download mode. Yesterday, when I plugged it in USB while OFF, no indication of charging (atleast visual) on screen was visible. Today, I plugged it in USB while phone was OFF and the battery indicator is seen, but battery si empty and only white "cirsle" is on middle, doing nothing. It stays that way for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen goes black, and only the white circle thingy is seen for a few seconds, then goes back to battery with that circle.
Anyway, when I got it in download mode a few times, I tried to plug it in PC to do something with ODIN, but it doesnt detect it. Windows says "USB Device Not Recognized" with the yellow triangle. I searched threads here and on google, and tried all I could think of.
So, I tried to reinstall drivers atleast 3 times, rebooting the PC in the process, cleaning the registry each time. Tried all of my 6 USB ports on PC. Tried 2 USB cables.
I had a galaxy s before, and setup on my PC was fine (so the drivers, cables, usb ports) were all OK, I could use odin and all. Thats why I dont think the problem is on my PC, or I must be missing something.
I have win7 x64 for the record.
I would just like to get this phone to work, any suggestions?

go to any mobile maintenance shop near to you cause there is nothing you can do for that
That is the only solution? Is there nothing more I could try?

as far as I know
I will probobly try to get phone recognized by odin on a win XP pc today or tommo. IF that wont work, I read about something that JTAG could help me.. Can anyone confirm?
I'm having exactly the same problem actually. My son's S1 was running an old version of DarkyROM (back from when it was mine) and it got a bit messy so I decided to run it up to a CM9 nightly. Ran the Heimdall stuff as per instruction, got CM9 up and running but hosed it when I tried to flash the Google Apps package. From thereonin, formats and clearing everything leaves it upbootable but recovery and download are easily accessible. Odin just doesn't see it though.
Cause?
---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------
Oh yes, I might add that I can still mount by USB and upload ROMs etc. however trying to reinstall CM9 now gives me a Status 7 error and kicks me out. Grr.
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Possibly solved. Go here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41704-cant-install-cwm-recovery-on-my-rooted-galaxy-s2/
Heimdall seems a little picky, so if it throws up an error when everything seems fine then run zadig.exe in the /drivers folder of the Heimdall install, Options > List All Drivers, select Samsung USB Composite device in the dropdown and Install/Replace the driver. Do this in download mode. Then use the Heimdall frontend to push the stock ROM to your phone as per that link.
Yep. Just checked. Phone now booting. Give me a shout and I'll help you do exactly what I did.
I can now confirm that the PC setup, drivers, cable and pc usb ports are all fine. Had another GT-I9000 from a friend and odin connected instantly, could flash stuff no problem.
So on my GT-I9000 something else must be the problem. Can anyone give me another option or is the JTAG my only option?
So when I turn the phone ON, "GALAXY S CyanogenMod" appears and loops... I cant get into recovery using VOL+ ; power ; menu (or any other button combo, must have tried everything) but I can get into download using VOL- ; power ; menu... But if I connect phone to PC, odin dont see it and windows says "USB Device Not Recognized".
I've heard of people getting connected with nexus drivers, who knows what was on the phone before right.?
Sent from my I9000 running JW5 with Dmore3.3 and Semaphore 2.7.4
When you press volume down + Home button + power on then you get the Download screen on the phone. However, that does not allow Odin to detect the phone and make the COM box turn yellow. You also need to press the volume up in order to activate the Download mode and turn the COM box yellow.
OKAY I have an update!!
I sent the phone to be JTAG(ged). I have no idea what they did, but the phone boots up now! I can use it normal, I can go to stock recovery or to download mode.
However, I have a new problem now. I cant connect the phone to PC with usb cable, it doesnt detect it. The phone makes the "sound" when I connect the usb cable, battery icon gets that electricity power icon, so it chatges, but on windows I get "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
I tried it with USB debugging on AND off, I tried all 3 modes in usb settings (mass storage, kies, media player) and always same result.
Tried to connect while in download mode, even pressed volume up while connected (once tried to hold vol up, made no difference). Odin dont detect it, and windows says "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
What could be the issue here? What else can I try? I will point out that PC setup should be fine (tried another I9000 from a friend worked no problem) but just in case, I will uninstall drivers, wipe registry, install new drivers, try every usb port and 2 usb cables to try to get it connected.
Any ideas?
Hello! My LG P880 was Cyannogen CM11 mod, but was a little slow. So I decided to downgrade it to CM 10 I lowered the phone settings, installed it, but when it restarted was giving infinite loop. Now the phone does not go into recovery mode, it is not recognized in the PC USB. When I put the usb cable in pc it tries to recognize but gives blue screen and the pc restarts. Already reinstalled the driver on the PC but not accomplish anything. Trying to install the original rom by LG flash tools but it does not recognize. I tried to get into recovery mode but nothing. Help please !!:crying::crying::crying:

Weird how your phone makes you get a blue screen of death.
Can you say what it writes in blue screen? And also try your luck on another PC.My sister's laptop could not recognize my phone no matter what I did.
Blue screen is most likely due to some broken software/hardware on your PC rather than a problem with your phone itself.So do try it on another PC.
Can you also say, how it doesn't go into recovery mode? When you hold vol - plus power, does it make the phone reboot, vibrating but still stuck on LG screen or does it not even vibrate?

don't worry, the problem is your PC not your phone
try this 2 fix your pc:
start CMD with administrator privilege -->
chkdsk /f /r -->press enter --> Y
restart the computer, if you lucky it will fix you pc and you will be able 2 fix your phone
(the fix/test take 1-2 hours, depending on how big your HD and if you have errors/bads ectors)
if you r not lucky, you probably have driver collision and it more tricky 2 explain how 2 fix.
anyway, if you in a hurry do it in another computer

its very strange that u got blue screens in both computers.....
the error code that u gave usually points that something wrong with mscorsvw.exe and/or NET framework.
i would recommend to update to the latest NET framework or even uninstall it and install it again.
Another good idea is 2 install the Android SDK (it installs a universal usb driver), this might help - ill try this before reinstalling NET frame.
i hope it helps...
Hi all,
I rooted my phone and unclocked bootloader.
My rom is a stock rom.
I managed to install CWM recovery using lg-optimus-4xhd-recovery-v1.0.apk but something happened.
I rebooted my phone in recovery mode and it is always locked to LG logo.
Pressing Volume up and power I can see normal android system recovery, wiping cache and factory reset don't work.
I haven't usb debugging enable so my computer can't see the phone connected with usb cable, and it's impossible for me flashing the phone with kdz rom methods.
What can I do?
Thx in advance for your answers
No one can help me?
Flashing with kdz results in "phone was not found", is there a way to resolve? I've tried with ubuntu, OS (adb) only see my phone if usb debugging is enabled and it isn't, and with a laptop running win8, installing LG drivers and so on, nothing works.
This is salvagable
If you can get the stock recovery mode, all is not lost, all of the important bits are still functioning.
Power down. Hold VolDn and insert the USB cable. If you get the Software Update screen with a green icon you CAN recover the phone. It may require a battle with Windows to get it to play nice, Windows and USB is always a hit or miss affair; but the phone is ok if that screen appears. Do not use the VolUP + Power LG Recovery mode, there isn't a known tool for that in the wild.
I don't normally run Windows and the couple of times I have booted it to do this it required some hassle and usually skipping the nice way since I had never installed the bundled LG Desktop stuff before things went wrong. So just do what I did, pick the Emergency mode that requires inputting the IMEI instead of letting it detect your phone and then let it fix things for you.

Many thanks for your answer, I resolved the problem late at night, yes, after a hard battle with windows.
I installed windows 7 32 bit, I tried a lot of Lg drivers, 3.8.1 maybe the best, after inserting the USB cable with SW Update screen some LG peripherals were recognized but the result in KDZ_FW_UPD was always "phone was not found", then I tried connecting USB cable with the Phone in Android recovery mode ( power & Vol up), and OS added a couple more peripherals, and attempting again with SW Upgrade mode worked.
Hi,
I have a major issue since the update to CM13.0-20160524-NIGHTLY-huashan. I litteraly spent the whole week trying everything I found on internet in order to solve it without success.
My problem is the following one: I uninstalled the gapps to manually update it for the latest version of Android (Android 6.0.1), when I tried to boot to the recovery nothing happened the phone just restart, same when trying to boot to the bootloader. I tried everything adb reboot recovery adb reboot bootloader, I tried flashtool, I used the developper options to reboot to recovery, I tried manually by holding the volume button while restarting, I tried the flashify application. Nothing, I am not able in anyway to access neither the recovery nor the bootloader. The phone is just restarting, the led is first blue then goes red then green then red and restart. However, I have a root shell on the phone with adb shell.
If anyone have a solution, can help me please do it. An Android phone without the gapps is quite useless.
Thank you very much,
same problem,my phone is now without working android (after i tried instal CyanogenMod 13.0 Unofficial SaberMod.....still loading cyanogenmod logo) and without working fastboot and recovery so im lost :/
Hello, since the LED bar lights up this means your device is soft bricked, in which, mostly are recoverable.
What interests me is that you tried to, quote, "uninstall gapps".. If you previously have gapps, you don't need to "uninstall" gapps in order to update to the next build. Just flash the new build zip and gapps will be preserved. Also I am quite skeptical about what you did, as I never heard of a way to actually uninstall gapps. Basically if someone wants to remove gapps, he needs to format the System partition and then flash the ROM zip again..
Are you sure you failed to boot into flashmode? the correct procedure to do so is
Make sure the device is turned off
Make sure the USB cable is connected to your PC
Hold the volume DOWN button
Still holding the button, insert the USB cable to the XSP
LED will light up green, indicating flashmode
But even so, since you are on an unlocked bootloader, recovering from this brick is rather easy.
Get yourself a TWRP img file from the TWRP basketbuild folder
Open flashtool
Make sure the device is turned off
Make sure the USB cable is connected to your PC
Hold the volume UP button
Still holding the button, insert the USB cable to the XSP
LED will light up blue, indicating fastboot mode
On flashtool, click the lightning icon and select fastboot mode
On the right of the new window that appears, select "Select kernel to flash"
Navigate to your TWRP img file and select it
When flash completes, unplug your XSP from the USB cable
This will flash TWRP into /boot partition. So when you start your device, it will go straight to recovery.
Now, flash the ROM zip
Thanks for your help TechnoSparks, however, as I told you and expected even following your exact procedure my phone just restart. The led brights up bleu for few seconds then the phone put itself in charging mode. And when I said I delete the gapps, I meant that I deleted the google play store from my phone (this app was anyway not working after update). I tried to use flashtool but it is the same, can't get into fastboot mode, the phone just normally starts or put itself in charge. Isn't a manual solution on how to flash a recovery only using adb shell?

That seems to be related to your USB cable (since that is the famous issue). Can you try to charge your phone WITHOUT it stop charging (i mean suddenly the LED disappears and when you tap the screen the charging icon doesnt show)?
If it so does happens that your device doesnt want to charge, it seems to me that you are having a loose USB port which possibly from your XSP, or, your USB cable is no longer up for the challenge
You will need to find another reliable USB cable for you to try. Try to charge your XSP to see if that particular USB cable is reliable for you. Try to wiggle the wire a little bit, moving the XSP from different directions and see if it would still charge. If it still charge, then this is the USB cable for you to use. Do the mentioned steps above again.
If you insist and want to use the same USB cable, you will need to find a "sweet spot" so that the connection between your XSP and the USB cable will remain reliable.
Hello to all,
I would like to install a custom ROM but unfortunately my phone doesn't want to enter in flash mode! Once switched off, I plug it to my computer while keeping vol down button pressed but instead of entering in flash mode, it displays the battery charging icon.
I hard reset the phone but the problem still remains. Any idea.
Thanks, have a nice day!
My guess is either the USB cable (did you use the OEM cable?) or the drivers (does windows recognize your phone?). Removing the SD card or first entering recovery were suggested earlier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/update-volume-connect-doesnt-t2613733). But more experiences Z3c owners may have better ideas...

Using flashtool:
Turn phone off completely.
Start flashtool, choose flashmode and choose which firmware you are going to use. Tick Exclude TA.. Click on flash.
It will start preparing the build and after a few seconds it will ask you to connect the phone.
Plug the phone in while holding volume down, as soon as flashtool starts doing something, you can let go.
If you don't know how to use flashtool then I urge caution, Sony's aren't like flashing a Samsung, it is actually possible to brick your phone with flashtool. There are lots of questions on 'how do I fix my phone?' in this Q&A thread from people who didn't read up on what they were doing.
Recommend you read bilboa1's great guide on what to do, starting with backing up your TA partition..
Thanks for your answers but I think the mini usb from my phone must be dead.
About Flashtool, I can't use it because I can't go into Flash mode! Moreover, my phone is not recognized by windows. I tried with several usb cables and computers when I plug it, I don't have any MTP or PTP choice, it can only charge..
On Windows 10, devices is not recognized and Window 7 see it as a 5880!
And I tried to remove SD and SIM cards..

If the USB lead was dead you wouldn't get the charging icon on your phone.
Have you installed the Sony drivers.
You also need to run exe in the Drivers folder within Flashtool, to make sure you have correct flashomde drivers available. Installing these drivers is very difficult in Windows 10 and it require restarting the machine in safe mode, and going into the advanced settings to disable driver signature checking, this how to video is for windows 8, but you'll get the idea
Have you installed ADB?
Sonys PC Companion should set you up with the correct connection to your PC
Have you tried other USB cables?

Yes, I've installed PC Companion, adb drivers but nothing appears when I use command "adb devices". I've also installed flashtools drivers but deactivating drivers signatures in Windows. But when I try to flash, flashtool ask me to turn my device in flash mode (switch off then volume down + power) but I can't do that.
I've tried several usb cables. Some are charging my devices, some are aren't but none of them allows me to data transfer!
I've also tried to force MTP or PTP usb transfer in developper option, it doesn't work more..

Do you have any warranty on your phone, you could be right that the usb socket is damaged somehow, but it's strange that you can still get a charge through it.
Your only chance at moving to a custom rom change is flashfire
This should let you flash a rom without recovery.
Edit: Flashmode is just holding down just - volume button, not volume+power
Obviously your chances of rescuing a failed install are going to almost zero without recovery and flashtool, so be very very careful about what you try and flash in flashfire. Read up completely that the rom you want to flash is going to work pushed on top of whatever you are running at the moment.
For anyone who might be interested, sometimes you have to try a USB 2.0 port or just a different port. I had the same problem while using a usb 3 port, switched to 2.0 worked like a charm.
Try to open the back of the phone and removing/unplugging the battery wait 5 seconds and then put it in again. Then try holding down the volume down button while you connect a usb cable.
