[Q] I've bricked my phone- HELP! :C - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay so I thought bricking android would be complicated but as it turns out it's quite simple.
Please cut me some slack because I am a n00b at all this. I am already googling for a solution and looking on forums but I haven't found anything YET so after a desperate hour of googling I thought of posting here (I will keep on trying to find a solution though).
Here is what I did:
A long while ago I rooted my Galaxy S. Rom was ClockworkMod (recovery says ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5) and the kernel was Talon. No problem with this.
Now I wanted to do a factory reset so I dialed that number yo need for a factory reset. I got a red text message warning me NOT to touch any button and it would reboot. The phone rebooted and I think I got into the recovery mode.
The icon was a top cat in an orange circle with an arrow. I guess that's part of the Talon kernel.
Anyways on recovery mode screen I saw an option called "wipe/factory reset" I've selected it - I was told it can't be undone- I've said OK- It said everything went fine so I selected reboot.
Now the phone won't reboot. It is stuck in a loop. It will always try to reboot.
So all I see is a GALAXY S i9000 screen followed by a Talos screen with a loading bar followed by the GALAXY S i9000 screen again and it will just loop.
No idea what to do :C
help, please! thanks a million everyone!

Try flash the talon kernel again or if u got a rom on your SD card flash that.
If this doesn't work.search for ezbase 3.0 and follow instructions on how to flash a rom with ODIN.
U can also find ezbase on "insanity rom" thread in the op(1 of the links)
And now your phone is recovered

well I've tried to put an update.zip on the internal storage of the phone because I don't have an external SD card.
I mounted the phone as mass storage device in the recovery mode but my win xp 32 bit would say it is a Samsung Galaxy S but there was an error with the new hard ware and it couldn't be mounted fff
so no idea what to do now?

This is normal, you delated youre whole System. First of all dont panik you able to enter ist downloadmode ? If so, than you'll bei able to install a new rom and you will be able to boot I'm also New here had the same problem with my phone. This is called a soft-brick. I was able to go in DM and flash a new rom with my galaxy s plus

vielen lieben dank
yeh i guess i did a soft brick. So what exactly do I do now?
I have managed to copy an update.zip file I've found on my computer to the phone but the download mode gives me an error and says it can't install it.
Can you link me to the files I need to install on it with the help of the download mode? Thanks a lot

so I have already tried installing different roms which seemed to have worked fine
I have tried just any random rom (Simplicity) I could find on this forum. It installed but I am still stuck in a boot loop. I don't see the Talon graphic anymore but the Galaxy S animation but I am still stuck in a loop.

is what ive found when googling. of course ALL THE FILES are offline again. what a surprise.
really a shame. this looked so promising :C
i've flashed a different ROM in the mean time but it doesn't let me flash anything else anymore. that recovery mode is awful so i can only suggest no one uses simplicity rom

You need to flash a new firmware using odin, partition with 512 pit. Check this link for instructions and firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14273101

[Solved] Recovery 5.0.2.6 samurai..........

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Boot into recovery and wipe data.
Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

I too have this problem!
Is the phone bricked? I have tried using packages from Odin and One Click Unbrik but they both fail, I can get into download mode, but I cannot get into recovery mode. It just says ARM9 or something whenever I try. Is there a solution yet?
i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:
boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:
just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom
to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

(even reinstalled windows and all the phones drivers also tried installing drivers with zadig, after reinstall of windows the phone was finally found there but still no luck for odin)

[Help] Not booting phone, colored screen

I have tried lately to flash ics rom on my rooted captivate which was running 2.2 stock froyo but I made two mistakes that made me fear that it was bricked
- I removed the CWM recovery folder from the internal sd card. As a result, when I reboot the phone, it starts as usual but get stucked in the Samsung galaxy S screen.
- Trying to fix that, I tried to install a custom recovery image using Heimdall suite and with the download mode, but after flashing it, the situation worsened (may be because it was destinated to android 2.3.) and when I rebooted the phone, I get tha At&t logo and then the screen becomes an assembly of colored lines.
The only good news is that I still can access the download mode. I did nothing else to not complicate the situation.
So do you think the phone is hard bricked now? And is there a solution to relieve it? Thank you in advance

Basically, you get that screen cause you don't have the right bootloaders. Get stock KK4 with Odin (or Heimdall) one click. You'll find the sticky in the Dev section.
From there, you can flash Corn kernel to get root and after flash w/e ROM you'd like to run.

So, is this the thread that I need "[GB][2.3.5][KK4] Heimdall One Click Stock w/ or w/out BL's"? I am having some doubts because my original rom is a 2.2 stock rom. If not, could you please guide me to the right one?

Yes, that's what you need. You don't have the right BLs to run the ROM you flashed so you'll need to flash them (KK4 with BLs).

Don't worry, it is just a digestion problem (bootloop). CF-root doesn't work with every firmware. If yours wasn't compatible, bootloop is normal reaction. Check my last thread and there you can find step-by-by step guide how to unbrick it.

Great, mate- I'm glad it works again
CF-Root is made AMAIK for Gingerbread ROMs only, and if you have Froyo it is enough to flash SpeedMod root kernel that already features CWM recovery, Busybox and SU. You should always ready very carefully the first posts of the files you flash, so you will void many potential problems.
If you did it after my unbrick guide thread, backup your IMEI No as soon as you root your phone (described how to)
Just click "thanks" button beyond posts which were useful for you, it is our way to express it on this forum (and many us here are visiting the forum to help each other)

[Q] P7320 trouble

Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

Hi
There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.
Only format/cache, format/data and format/system

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Fast, no bloatware, no freezing.
I followed the instructions no problems. My recovery UI has an option partition SD card under advanced. Dont know if that will help you.

Hi
I was able to download another .tar full stock rom which I flashed with odin.
Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Hi
I will definetely give it another go this evening
Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!
Thank you!

What am I doing wrong. My device starts to cyanogenmod boot animation but not further.
Do I have to do the dalvik wipe and cache wipe?
I think i have tried everything. It's been rolling boot animation about 30 minutes now.
Sorry about my bad language.
And thank you for your answers.
I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?
