[FIX][GT-I9001] Most common fixes for Samsung Galaxy S Plus

Hi all,
Since our devices development keeps growing and growing the amount of questions about simple fixes is raising. I've made this "collected solution" thread to prevent these questions and to link all the new and senior users to here.
So lets begin:
- My Device keeps rebooting in recovery mode again and again
-- Follow this post over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
- Odin failed in flashing and I see a PC (!) PHONE on the screen on my phone
-- Your device is so called: "Soft Bricked" this means you can fix this by yourself. Try to get in to Download mode via the normal way. Or get a JIG (See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551 or here: http://dx.com/p/unbrick-download-30...msung-t959-i9000-i897-m110s-i8700-i9100-93514)
- How does it looks when my phone is softbricked? (le above problem)
-- Like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- My device is Soft bricked and I cant get it to work again are there more solutions?
-- Yes: there is one. You can read it below in the "SHOW"
Apparently there is one safe and working way to un-brick the GT-I9001. This procedure has been tested on a soft-bricked device with a stock unbranded ROM.
Download the WORKED2.rar package (mirror 1, mirror 2);
Download Odin Multi Downloader version 4.43;
After expanding the WORKED2.rar archive, press the OPS button and select the AriesVE.ops file from the uncompressed archive;
Mark the One Package option, press the One Package button on the bottom of the window and select the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-ariesve.tar.md5 file;
Put your device in Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power and plug it to your PC;
Make sure to have installed the correct drivers and the phone should be recognised by Odin (the top left rectangle becomes yellow) and press the Start button.
This process could take from 8 to 30 minutes to finish, with an average time of 15 minutes. After that you should have your device back with the same settings, applications and files you had before the brick. Moreover you should have installed a working version of the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Using an Odin ROM to fix your device:
If your device is still not working correctly after the steps described above. You should try to install a stock ROM and do a factory reset.
Comes from the Wiki
- I've got no mobile data connection after a flash?
-- For this problem you can do several things:
Go into airplain mode for 15 minutes and turn it off again. Give it a shot now
Reboot your phone
Go to google > your carrier + APN data and put them in manually
- When I want to flash a Stock ROM via Odin it gets stuck at System.img.ext4
-- For this solution I recommend you to flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396837
( Le reason: It contains all the partitions requiered by our phone and resets them after a factory reset via the provided recovery you are able to flash any stock ROM you want)
- I cant seem to get into Recovery mode
-- Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=713695&d=1315490753 extract and run REBOOT RECOVERY
- How do I get in either Download or Recovery mode
-- Volume UP+POWER will take you to recovery mode
Volume DOWN+HOME+POWER will take you to download mode
- Where can i find the fabulous GT-I9001 wiki?
-- Well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
- Why cant i flash this or that ROM, i get blablabla status error etc?
-- Most of these issues are recovery related. To flash CM9 and CM10 ROMS use either CWM or TWRP (The most stable are being found in the CM threads itself just take a look)
Will add more soon.. But I think these are the most common at the moment.

only one thing to say... the recovery combo is volume up+power, without home , if you press home button you will get the useless ramdump mode

Le changed

Just be sure not to think system is stuck. BroodROM RC5 took me 4hour to flash the last time my phone soft bricked.
PS. Can you add a link to the wiki? And a photo of soft brick (in wiki)

Added wiki link, picture of softbricked and more

it seems that I bricked my galaxy s plus when I tried to flash Cynagenmode via TWRP.
I have read tons of articles and threads before posting this. The phone turns on but keeps showing TEAMWIN logo (bootloop). I can not boot into recovery mode which is done by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power. (I've tied many keyboard combination but still no access to recovery mode instead the phone boots).
However, I am able to get into download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home) but when I connect the phone to pc for ODIN purpose, my pc or Odin won't recognize it. I have tried to uninstall and re-install all drivers again and again. Tried on different PC, Odin version and even different cables.
However, When I turn on the phone it keeps bootlooping but when I connect to pc, there is that "beep" sounds that says connected, BUT IT LASTS only 3-5 seconds.
Since I cannt get into recovery mode, I must connect to PC via ODIn, right? So I did it, but every time when I plug it, it keeps saying that USB Device Is not Recognized. I ve tried in many PCs, still no access.
Forgot to mention that I ve tried to unplug the battery while the phone is in download mode and is plugged to PC or ODIN, but it does not work too.
I ve removed the battery for 10-15 minutes and then again plug it but still no hope.

[Q] Dead phone - can't even get to boot menu!

Hi Guys
My phone appears to have died... I was trying to run a few things at the same time. Podcast addict, google maps with directions, gps... and suddenly everything started throwing up error messages and resetting themselves repeatedly!
Suddenly the screen went blank and the phone kept on vibrating!
I tried restarting the phone... it didn't get any further than the Red M (of death).... and it was still vibrating continuously!
I did a soft reset (i think that is what it is called... Power + Vol down) and that finally stopped the vibrating, but it still wouldn't get any further than the Red M...
And that is pretty much all that I get no matter what I try.
I've tried Power + Vol up + Vol down. It just cycles to the Red M, then does the little cricket noise then blank screen, then back to Red M....
I've tried Power + Vol Down + Camera... turns it off... but then if I turn it back on, or plug in a power cable then it goes back into the Red M cycle...
In short my phone is fooked!
Do any of you have any super secret button combos/hacks/magic that can bring my phone back from the dead?
Cheers.

Hold Power + Vol- permantly, when phone vibrates leave immediatly power and keep holding vol- until a menue appears. browse with vol- to recovery and select it with vol+
There you can make a factory reset (data-wipe)

Well... that half worked!
I got to the Boot mode selection menu, then selected Recovery Mode, and got this message...
"read from /dev/block/mmcblk0 failed: I/O error"
Any more hacks?

mmcblk0 is the raw name of sd-card partition. In this case the internal I think (but not sure, try to boot your phone without external sd-card; if that fails too, it is caused by internal)
So I think the solution for the problem is to format the sd-card partition. But your recovery can't access it, that why you have to try it per fastboot/adb or with flashing homemade fastboot.

I think you're right. I've tried it with and without the SDcard and i get the same result.
Also...there is a previous error when the Boot Mode Selection Menu first starts that says
E:Can't read /dev/block/misc
(I/O error)
E:Failed to get BOS sync msg from MISC

fastboot: max download size: 100MB

So....tell me more about this fastboot business...

Your problem is pretty strange, but here you go:
First you need the correct firmware. Download it from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
Then you need drivers and the RDS lite software from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
There you find more information about the procedure.

Thanks. I'll try that when I get home. (Why do these things always happen while I'm on holidays?)
Seeing as how I'll be starting from scratch would it be possible for me to say install an alternative android version on there. One of the cyanogen mods for example? Would this require downloading a different firmware?

It isn't looking good...
My phone comes up with this error

That's not good. I've already got this in mind before. Some part of your internal storage is heavily corrupted. It can't even flash the new partition table (gpt).
I can't say if it's a irreversibly brick, but I doesn't know a solution atm..

I bricked my phone awhile ago trying to use RSDLite (which was a huge mistake), more than few times and that post saved me days of frustration.
Pretty much:
1. Unrar
2 . Install Drivers
3. Turn phone off (if able to)
4. Connect to pc
5. Hold the Camera button and power on until the green light comes on, it'll stay on longer than normal if you have a custom recovery installed.
6. Run the Unbrick.bat
You can try reading up on this, but I can tell you from first hand experience since I was not even able to access the custom recovery (save me an error, that this saved my phone from being nothing than a paperweight.
Bricked and then stuck on red M boot cycle.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for all your help guys... I gave in in the end. The phone is still on warrenty so I'm sending it back to Tesco. Hopefully they will send me a new one!
That is going to take about 2 weeks to get though... so in the meantime I think I'm going to get myself a Nexus 5! :victory:

The green led and black screen indicates that you are in medfield flash mode (when using camera button to start). If after the windows sound u have something with 'medfield *' under device manager the drivers work.
And if then the unbrick.bat don't work u need to do it manually or there is another problem.
If u don't have the device in device manager, u will need to install the drivers correctly.

How do you mean i have to do it manually? The medfield drivers seem to be installed properly i checked in device manager.
I guess my bootloader was totally destroyed after i tried to flash (apparently the wrong version of) TWRP over CWM.
I was on your kitkat 4.4.4. before

U could try to do the commands manually and see what kind of errors u get.
But how can the bootloader get corrupted while u are flashing the recovery. Weird error u got there.

While flashing it seem the process has stopped on the phone because i did wait about an hour so i forced a reboot and boom.

That seems like an EMMC error. Something this device has sometimes. Some get it, most don't. You are probably one of the unlucky ones.

bad news..is it irreparable with that or any way to get a fix on it?

Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA (AP in odin v3.x) button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, manually shutdown your device and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!

1. Put your phone into download mode. To do this turn the phone off and then press volume down+home button+power button at the same time. You will then get a warning saying press up to continue and down to cancel, press volume up and you are now in download mode
2. Start Odin
3.At this point please make sure that ONLY TWO OPTIONS TICKED are "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" (otherwise you could end up with a very expensive paperweight)

4. If there was only one tar file when you extracted the firmware put it in the PDA section.This just means this file contains the PDA+PHONE+CSC all in one firmware
If there are three files they should have one of PDA/PHONE/CSC in their names look for this and put them in the corresponding section.
5. Plug your device into the computer, wait for the drivers to install and then wait for the ID:COM section to turn blue.
6.ONCE AGAIN CHECK YOU HAVE NOT TICKED RE-PARTITION OR PUT IN A PIT FILE
7.Press start and the flash will begin, once this has started do not remove the usb cable or turn of your computer or the device the phone will reboot once the flash has finished.

Hello,
I've tried several times and it doesn't work, TWRP not showing, only stock recovery
I've flashed with Modified CF-AutoRoot and it's working.
L.E. : None is working. I get SuperSU update binary Installation failed.
L.E. 2 : I've wiped data/cache a few times and re-downloading the TWRP tar file, and now it is working. Thank you!

Update: Added CFauto-root method just in case

Works perfect for me with twrp-method. Lollipop is blazing fast. No lag at all.

So.. Is this for previously unrooted devices? If so, does it trip KNOX?

This is for people who want root on lollipop since flashing the new firmware wipes it. And yes it does trip knox. I'll add a note that it does in the first post

Added recovery links for T700/T705. Forgot to do so

Bump. Incase any T705 users needs it ☺

Good looking out @DUHAsianSKILLZ worked like a charm on the upgrade!

I'm sure one of the things new users will find confusing is the precise button combination needed to trigger each of the different boot states, download, recovery and normal modes. Pressing volume up will lead to a boot state different from pressing volume down, since the two buttons are externally the same (the volume rocker). Maybe you can highlight or emphasize the UP or DOWN since it's easy to overlook.

Edited my post with volume up=right side volume button and volume down=left side of volume button. Also edited a few other things to make it more clear. Let me know if I am missing anything else. Thanks!

Maybe a little confusing for t700/705 users as their volume button is the opposite I believe.
I think your instructions were clear enough. The user of the device should at least know which is up and which is down tbh. No need to spoon feed imo.

Actually, if you install TWRP from odin, you don't even need to download the supersu separately. First, download twrp package for your device. Install it with odin. From my experience, you don't need to disable the auto-reboot option in odin this time (but you need that when you're installing full ROMs and want to keep the custom firmware).
Shutdown.
Boot into recovery, by pressing volume up, power, and home buttons.
Confirm that TWRP recovery is installed.
Now reboot. At the moment you try to reboot, the custom recovery will offer you to install SuperSU. Go ahead and accept it.
Now reboot, go into google play and update your SuperSU.
One nice side effect of installing TWRP this way is that you may want to keep TWRP without having root. TWRT is useful as a recovery for backups etc, but there are some apps, like AT&T Uverse, that will actually break if you have root.

How to fix it?

Very odd. Flash stock firmware. Make sure you download the correct one and newest Odin.
Sent from my Note 5 on Bell

1st wrong forum to post ur question ,
2nd kernel its not seandroid its related to custom kernel
3rd odin failed we can't help u as we need full screenshot for odin where its failed ok so could u post full logs that's shows on odin when its failed ok ..

I tried other firmware and it passed through ODIN but again the phone is stuck at boot screen.

Reboot to recovery and wipe data.
Remember your recovery is stock after odin and it will erase int storage data too.
And please don't use development section for this purpose

I have just flashed WITH CSC TAB of odin and this is the result, its still stuck at boot screen and not going into recovery mode.

Press power +Vol down. Once you see blank screen, immediately press Vol up +home +power and see if it goes to recovery.

Also after flashing with cache with odin you need to wait 5min to boot

No sir, its not going into recovery mode, always stuck at boot logo.
Thank you

Two options left to try that I can suggest
1.extract cache. Img from tar repack it to tar and flash using cache tab of Odin
2.flash rom + including pit file.
If you search and get pac firmwares then it's best as this will have all separate file +pit
If that fail then possibility faulty battery but n5 we can't do else with non removable battery

I can try removing battery out, I have removed few batteries before in note5 and galaxy s6, s6e+, though, its a headache to remove those, also I was wondering whether anything else is left to try, like DRK etc.?
This is all the files that I have been trying so far as per thread

Try kies
You should have serial number of your device handy then try that.
Open kies - Tool - there will be restore or something option. Just select and follow wizard

Try this:
- get into download mode.
- flash stock rom with odin(uncheck autoreboot)
- after flashing is done, phone should be still in dowload mode. (unplug usb cable)
- press and HOLD (vol dwn and pwr) for like 5 sec. ***as soon as the phone's screen turns black, immediately press and hold (vol up, home, pwr) and HOLD it for a LONG time untill you see little andy/or recovery mode. (remember to keep holding even if you see any error message)
- in recovery mode, wipe data-factory reset.
- reboot and wait for your phone to bootup. will take a while.
*to get out of any frozen screen - press and hold (vol dwn, vol up, home, pwr) all together for 5~10 seconds.

Pay particular attention to the "immediately" instruction!

Did anyone find a fix I'm in need of Help I have a similar issue flashed NobelKernel build3 then made a mistake a flashed xposed 1rm64 bootloop wont stop tried to flash back to stock in Odin ( Odin doesent response when I choose n920TUVUA1AOGE file it only responds when I choose Nobelkernel build 2 or 3 what am I doing wrong how can I just go back to stock with a functioning phone

None of you have reported you are wiping the device. The first thing you need to do is establish if you can or cannot get into recovery properly. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to get into recovery because what you have flashed does not touch the recovery partition whatsoever.

Keep pressing the power button to force shutdown ah, then keep pressing the power button + volume down to fastboot and then release.
Keep pressing, do not understand?

Can not be solved, go to the local Xiaomi after-sales center to solve it.

I bricked my camellian 3 times, one time soft brick and two times hard brick (no response at all.); I can help you via remote software or RDP because it took me 3 days and nights to do this myself and last time even longer. You probably damaged the bootloader, and since I've been through all of that twice I know how to unbrick it but I can't explain it in a post it will take me weeks. Let me know.
If u have trust issues I will send you all the drivers and software names, or you can download the ones I upload to mega and try it yourself, but you can brick it until it can't be unbricked anymore and that is the point of no return. Let me know if u want me to send you the tools.
