Hey all,
I have recently been given a phone by a friend, a SGS i9000. He bought it as is, and being n00b he couldnt describe anything to me about how or why it was like this. As I have a i9000 myself I took a bit of a look at it, I have no idea what firmware,rom,kernel etc is on it. After researching around it seems to be locked in a bootloop, I can not access any recovery menu, if I hold the power + home button I get the screen below (found this button combo somewhere in the forums, attaining to the Samsung anycall, korean?), but when plugged into my computer it comes up saying "windows could not recognize device blah blah". Any hope??? Last resort will be to get a jig, but ive never had to use them before and not sure if it will solve my issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Identify what Phone it could be by checking its top corner for a Tucked in TV Antenna ...if you can pull out an Antenna its an M110S, if not it is an i9000 flashed with a wrong ROM. IF its M110S , just use PIT STOP link below to resolve using How to flash guide
The Anycall screen you are getting means it is still in download mode and can be detected by Odin, if not do a battery pull ( follow My Android Solutions, link below)

Thanks for your reply.
I have looked to see if there is an antenna, nothing there. Ive tried rebooting the PC, and done a battery pull. Whilst in bootloop ive plugged in the phone, nothing comes up. Whilst in download mode, ive plugged in the phone, device detected but unrecognized. I removed everything......then......
1) Uninstalled all drivers and KIES from my PC > Reboot
2) Went to Android solutions, started with step one, no help.
3) Went onto step 2 (Problem:- Cannot connect to PC or Unknown Device, getting Code 43 or any other code or NO response when using USB cable),I checked to see if any pins were bent, and cleaned the contacts using some mini brushes I had. I am using a Samsung USB, same one i use for my i9000, which works 100%. Installed and tried every driver seperately, whilst trying to see if odin would detect anything.
NOTHING :crying:
Tried different ports etc. The only response I get is when ive put the phone into download mode (Home+Power), then all I get when connected to PC is "USB Device not Recognized". Im grateful that I get that, but cant do much else haha.
Can you suggest anything else?? can I even use the jig as a last resort???
Did you remember that you need to reinstall drivers?

Hey thanks for your reply, if youre referring to the PC, then yes I removed all the drivers that did not work, and lastly reinstalled Samsung KIES. Still no change to the device being recognized by windows.

Nothing wrong with the phone except that its, now loaded with a wrong boot loader, ...try borrow a lap top or PC to connect in download mode, to flash a i9000 rescue or resurrection kit from MY Androids collections link below

Please HELP me
What do I do from here??
Attached are the results I get when trying to use odin and trying to flash EZBASE.
I get further in flashing using heimdall. Without trying to sound n00b, can I not flash the bootloader to something that works???

Hi, ive tried ezboot, still no luck, I get the same error message in odin. Grrr frustrating, seem to be throwing solutions at it but nothing is cracking it.
Is there a way i can do it through heimdall?? seems to get more done when trying to flash except the error i get above?? perhaps how to do a bootloader flash using heimdall not odin??
Thanks

I think the solution to your problem has been found, and your phone is actually an M110S Anycall galaxy S..read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888319...so you need to use the M110S repair kit, download from Pit Stop, link below and flash as per guide or like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28174768&postcount=4774
First of all I would like to thank you xsenman, your posts and guides on these forums have been a huge help. Going along with what you said in your last post, I have started downloading the repair kit, then hopefully do an official update for here (Australia).
I just want to add, you may want to add the the following as a solution to a lot of problems (it helped me verify).
I had a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30797809&postcount=1
And about half way through the thread is IMEI check
I entered the IMEI from my phone (an official samsung gti9000), and it came back with a result saying exactly that.
I then entered the IMEI from my friends phone (bought from ebay >:/ go figure), and it came back saying it was M110S but so has it that the internal sticker on my friends phone says model: GT-i9000
If anyone else gets into a confusion like I have, which it is hard to tell if its fake or not. Posting/sticky the imei check will save a lot of time, heart ache and possibly from creating a $200 paper weight.
Once again thank you so much, hopefully this repair kit will work and the phone will be up and running.
:good:
Hi,
I am sorry to post this topic but i badly need some experts to help me out with this. It would be very grateful if anyone of you could help me.
I have bricked my friend's samsung galaxy s i9000. Now i need to buy a new phone for her incase i dont get this one working.
I have searched on this forum and googled extensively, i tried almost every method on this forum to unbrick except the USB jig, all of them failed.
I have ordered USB jig online, and it is yet to be delivered to me. So that method is yet to be tested.
Meanwhile all i want now is some guidance, so that i could be self assured if what I am doing is right and i need some questions answered.
Please read the following to comprehend the entire problem.
1) The phone has froyo and it was working very slow, and i couldnt boot into download or recovery mode via 3 button combo. (why couldnt i boot into those modes?)
2) I connected the phone to samsung kies, and it said that there is an upgrade available. But the details for the upgrade were blank.
I went ahead and tried upgrading it, and it gave me 403 error. (why did it give null details of the upgrade firmware? and why did i get 403 forbidden access error? )
3) Next i connected to the phone via ADB, and i could successfully boot into download mode.
4) After booting into download mode, i connected it to odin. Then i tried flashing semaphore kernel v2.7.
I gave an error, write operation failed, and the flashing failed. (why did it happen?)
5) Next I couldnt boot the phone at all, I am stuck at the black screen of death aka bsod or the phone-!-computer screen.
6) I tried taking out battery, reinserting and tried severl combination of button to boot as explained at several places here, but none of them works. Neither am i able to connect it to odin, or adb.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? IS IT HARD BRICKED OR SOFT BRICKED?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
Please help me, it will save me a new phone cost. I can hardly afford it.
