[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Boot Problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with my galaxy. It can't boot stuck on first white logo Galaxy S GT-I9000. I have do anything (volume + & center button, volume - & center button.... all combination!)
Is there any solution for this please?
The problem is exactly the same with this video: on youtube search for "Samsung Galaxy S Boot Problem"
Thanks a lot.

Nothing? please help!

I have the same issue. Tempted to try the home made jig but if there is a way without then ill try that first.
Ive tried:
Booting with various button combos.
button combos then installing battery.
combos with 3 flashes
.....
the list goes on.
My phone would happily go into download mode previously but not into OS. So I tried flashing 2.2 jp1 and it went how it is now. Odin said successful too

Hi Theodore+
I tried the jig and it worked a charm. Def recommend giving it a go.

Hi..
i'm having a weird problem..
well i upgraded to froyo 2 weeks ago using the registration trick and it was ok till yesterday.
my phone turned off suddently (while i had 60% left from battery), couldn't turn it on again.
cannot go to recovery mode, but can go to download mode.
the thing is i could boot my phone once i plug the usb to the computer or once i plug the charger..
so my phone cannot boot without being plugged
does anyone know anything about it?
Cheers..

Try pluggin in a external microSD.
Than boot and see if anything different.

Sorry xxgg but i didn't get what you're trying to tell me...
i have a microSD it's always there... how to pluggin in a microSD?
the thing is when i try to turn on my unplugged phone i see an empty battery..
once i plug it i turn it on normally..
thanks.

[Q] Stuck on clockworkmod

Hi
I tried to remove Bejeweled using a program I downloaded (I can't remember the name). It said it would reboot twice, but it seemed to have frozen after the first reboot, so I pulled the battery.
Now, every time I try to turn the phone on, it goes into ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0 and stays there. None of the buttons do anything at all, so I can't get to any of the options.
Samsung Kies and Odin 3 don't seem to recognise the phone when I plug it in by USB and I can't find any button combinations that stop it going to ClockworkMod.
I only got the phone a few days ago, so I'm not sure if I can send it back and claim the Froyo update on Kies broke it. I would prefer to fix it myself though. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
So can you get into download mode or not?
No, I can't get to anything other than clockworkmod, and that freezes.
When I plug the usb lead in, it turns on without pressing the power button, but still freezes at clockworkmod. Hope that helps.

GOOD
What you want to do is, pull battery out, put it back in, Hold volume down and Home button, THEN put in the usb lead, That should put you into download mode, then you can flash thru odin
Pull ur battery so phone is completely dark hold the 3 button combo for the download mode the phone should power in download mode or last option is get a jig for a pound on ebay

Thanks for your help. When I tried azzledazzle's solution, it went to frozen clockworkmod again, but the Galaxy S screen at the start doesn't show. Also, my version has never responded to any key combos, even when it worked.
I have attached a picture of what Odin shows when I put the USB lead in. Not sure if I can do anything with it. By the way, I've never used Odin before so I don't know if there are any settings I need to change.
I'll order one of those 'jigs' but hopefully I can get it fixed before that arrives.
you have selected 512 pit, but you havent ticked re-partition, that is whats causing your problem.
you say your phone never responded to button combo's. does that mean you have never been in download mode ??
The 'jig' has arrived and put me straight into download mode! Definitely recommended for anyone who can't use the three button combos. I have used a new rom with the 512 pit and repartition unchecked, and Android 2.2.1 installed fine. This also solved the button combo problem.
In reply to azzledazzle, the only time I saw download mode before the jig arrived was when Kies mucked up an update.

[Q] Stuck in AT&T Screen boot loop, can't get into either recovery or download mode

[Q] Stuck in AT&T Screen boot loop, can't get into either recovery or download mode
I went back to stock (or tried to) and after Odin was done the phone just stuck in the AT&T boot loop, download mode is not working (it was working before so I know I am doing the right combination/timing) doing endless combinations of Vol-/Vol+/Power doesn't seem to get me into recovery mode-
I put my girlfriend's captivate on Continuum over the weekend so I'm sure I'm pressing the right keys to get into download mode, but I get nothing but the battery.
I do have the Android SDK in my computer but I'm never able to get past that naggy screen, so I can't do a 'adb shell reboot recovery' is a JIG my only option?
To recap, can't get into download mode and pressing volume up / volume down and power buttonuntil the AT&T screen and then release the power button doesn't get me into recovery mode.
Need help!
I've been in the exact same situation.A jig is most probably the only option.
Many people have had this problem and find that a jig is the answer.

first try with just holding vol buttons and then inserting USB cable...hold vol buttons till its goes into download mode or the screen changes..if not then try following steps...
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
still no Dl mode..then buy a jig or make one yourself
Right so I'm download mode now, but every time I go back to STOCK I'm re-stuck in the same loop, seems that I can't get out of it.
I got into download mode with a JIG, but still can't see my phone from my computer, so I can't run the adb shell to get it to boot in recovery mode
I'd appreciate any help you could give me!

Restart your computer, use a different usb cable, a different usb port. if that doesn't work, unistall the drivers and reinstall, restart your comp and try again.
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flash back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

I had the same problem just a few weeks ago.
The problem is once you start using 2.2 you can't use ODIN 2.1 anymore.
This is the one that worked for me I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears(1)

this is actually a false statement.
i can still use odin 2.1 after flashing 2.2 roms and even stock 2.2 upgrades
Anyone thought about trying Heimdall if Odin doesn't work?
Yes, i tried using heimdall and that didn't work. I'm wondering what leopic did to fix his, if you could list the steps instead of the links that would help a lot!
stuck in att screen and battery loop
so i have tried searching for threads that match the issue i am having and some of them do and some doent so i have decided to post this. i tried flashing back to stock from a custom rom i was using. i used Odin to do this. i didn't work so i tried it again, same result. it dosent boot just sits at the captivate splash screen. i tried using a different oden tool and after that it just loops through the ATT splash screen and if i have the usb cable plugged in, it just loops the battery screen. im not even sure if it charges. i have tried everything i can find to do to get the download mode to come up and nothing, just loops. i have not tried the jig on this phone yet b/c i haven't made it to radio shack yet to pick the resistors up. is that going to be my only option?
what rom WERE you on?was it cm7 or miui?
Connection Issues? < click here for information on download and recovery mode....
information you should have had BEFORE FLASHING your phone..
i was on serinity 6.2.
i have tried all possible ways to get into d/l mode that i have found
so from the link provided
FROM A POWERED-DOWN STATE - BATTERY REMOVED
- Insert battery, then press and hold Vol+ and Vol-, then insert your USB cable..
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert Battery, Insert USB cable
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert USB cable, Insert Battery
goes into battery loop
- Use a 301Kohm jig between USB pins 4-5 (can be manufactured jig or homemade chain of resistors)
have not tried yet

You safe my Note.. Many Thanks
I thought I lost her x_x
I had this problem before
Users - I am new on this forum and I know this thread is old however I had this problem and it resolved itself. Here is how.
Background: I tried to charge my ATT Captivate using a Nokia microUSB charger that was plugged into a 120v outlet. After a few minutes of charging, the phone would no longer boot past the ATT World Phone screen. Afterwards I tried everything under sun to get a computer recognize the phone so I could reflash the ROM. Nothing worked (different computer, different USB cables, reinstalled the Samsung drivers, etc....).
Resolution of Problem: As a last ditch effort, I tried charging my phone with the same Nokia microUSB cable that appeared to cause the problem in the first placed. This time the Nokia USB cable was plugged into my computer instead of the 120v outlet. My computer had the Samsung phone drivers installed. To my amazement the phone booted up after I unplugged it from the USB cable and all is well.
I am not sure what happened but my Captivate is back with no damage. Hope this helps some poor soul who is trying desperatley to get a computer to recognize a phone that for no apparent reason will not be recognized.

[Q] (soft)bricked galaxy s?

Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding the actual situation of my phone since nobody on here seemed to had the same issue.
My diagnosis is that my phone is softbricked.
If I try to boot it normally the first Galaxy S logo appears but when the loading animation is supposed to begin, it doesn't. Additionally my phone vibrates one time with a logn vibration and after half a second with 3 short vibrations, looping on this situation.
Neither download mode or recovery mode button combo seems to work.
If I start with one of the two and release the keys as soon as the first logo appears it will be stuck at boot vibrating as above, if i don't release them, it just keeps rebooting.
Do you think I could get out of this with a download mode usb jig?
Thanks in advance
Soft brick......Yes to the jig.......try adb commands if you can get a connection..."adb reboot download"
Edit: Also have you read the many other attempts to try get to download... without battery but plugged in then combo, holding combo then putting battery in (no cable), finally cable and battery in then combo... i think there are a few more....
Also i hope you came across this
Telling us what you have done to your phone will help greatly!
What rom on /from, kernel, theme - what were you doing when it went tits-up?
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA Premium App
try removing your battery for a few seconds. then hold down the vol down+power+menu then insert the battery while holding the 3 buttons to display the download mode.

I tried almost every combination I could find out on the net but nothing else happens, I've bought a jig on ebay and it should arrive in a couple of days. I will try and update ASAP.

[Q] Phone is dead

Hey! I have a major issue
Today I decided that I am going to change my ROM from darky's to CM9.All went well until I typed the pin of my SIM and just before I was on mobile's desktop CM9 told me I have to reset.I did and got into boot-loop.
Turned on my Odin to get stock rom on and try everything again , went to download mode but after a few seconds of pressing start Odin wrote FAIL. Since then my phone is dead,can't get into download mode,can't turn it on,doesn't charge. I only hear the 'bleep' sound (the sound when the usb has succesfully been plugged in) when I hold vol+ and vol- and plug usb at the same time but thats it.
What can I do? :crying:
Thank you for you help
Try a usb jig.
Before buying a JIG, try this:
1. remove battery
2. connect phone to computer via usb (without battery)
3. then press 3-button combo for download mode
4. while pressing these 3 buttons (phone is still connected to pc) put back your battery (for example using your nose )
Worked for me already a few times! If it won't work for the first time, try again and again..
The first thing to do is charge your phone just in case you have been victim of a sudden os battery drain

Try usb jig and if didnt work tell me to give you another solution
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Now I know why it all went wrong.I accidently downloaded cm9 for galaxy S2 and put it on my phone. But could still get into download mode but it's dead since Odin failed.
Ajoslaf I tried that and all I got was the sound of the usb being plugged in,nothing else.Tried filling up the battery and got the same.
Now I can try with usb jig,but doesn't that only work in download mode?

[Q] Galaxy Mini II (GT-S6500D) Bootloop (Can't access recovery,download mode)

Hello guys, i have a problem with my bro's gt-s6500d..
the problem is the device is keeps rebooting (first turned on shows samsung logo, then endless vibrate only) and i cant go to recoverymode with buttons or adb and download mode (i can do it actually but only few seconds it restarts again). googling isn't helpful.
the device wont turned off, when i pulled the battery and put it on, it will turned on itself (like BlackBerry)
the device is not even modded or rooted. everything's still stock.
haven't try USB JIG or JTAG. Maybe both of those will be my last option (since they're cost some money)
so can you guys help me out? thanks before :fingers-crossed:
