Galaxy S I9000 no Power - Indian Model - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I feel so stupid of myself for messing up with the phone..
Have an Indian version of Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Customer ROM: Cyanogen mod 7 (2.3.7 Gingerbread) which was functioning perfectly fine.
I went into CWM recovery and chose the option reboot recovery just to see what it is...after which it kept booting up to the recovery screen and would not load the OS..
I saw a few threads on Google and XDA, downloaded the pit file from samfirmware website and installed it using odin under PDA post which the phone does not power on at all...
I know for a fact that the battery had 80% still remaining - Even if i plug the charger it still does not power on..
I'ts sooo irritating and i'm requiring your help - Please help me with this...

remove battery and reinsert battery,
since you only flashed Pit and NO ROM/Modem/kernel or did you flash anything else?? Phone would most likely not start
Try for download mode ( volumedown+home+power) and connect to ODIN, this time flash all, you can use rescue kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29331775&postcount=1 or complete firmware meant for India from samfirmware

Hi,
Thanks for your reply... My phone completely dead... just does not power on.... Tried booting into recovery mode and download mode.. reseated battery etc etc... no indication of power at all..
Any ideas ?

use another battery or charge your battery externally and try after cleaning your battery contacts and phone contacts

Hey
have to tried to keep it in charge for some time and then directly boot into download mode??
and the CWM usuallys drains the battery faster...(with personal experience)...

Describe the steps you took to install Darkyy's 7.0 Rom?
What firmware and recovery did you have before you flashed the new rom?
Can you access Recovery or Download mode still? (make sure you pull your battery and reseat before attempting this)
I had darkys 7.0.
Today i flashed darkes 7.0.2
I placed the rom on sd
opend rom manager
Install ROM from SD card
wipe data/cache.
when it install was finished the phone just die.
i tried to start with 3 way comb its black.
You were meant to install with CWM I believe.
I just follow the instr..
can i reseat the phone by pressing some button on the phone?
Seems like an empty battery to me

Rom Manager is an app that uses CWM recovery, it's the same developer for both.
What can i do?
Is the phone dead?
I have charge the phone all night, still dead.
Does your phone have the 3 button combo enabled ? Are you able to access Download or Recovery mode ?
i have 3 combo..

Does your battery charging icon show when your phone is off and charging ?
You can also try removing the battery, reinserting it and quickly trying to access download or recovery mode. See if that works...
if all the methods and jigs to power up the phone fail, then you have fully bricked it.
it happend to me aswell i have fully bricked my sgs and nothing worked to turn it back on.
sent it away to samsung for repair 2weeks ago and its now on its way back with a new motherboard, lesson learnt.
SEND IT TO SAMSUNG THEY WILL FIX IT
Take the battery out, wait 15 seconds, push 3 button combo while inserting the battery, repeat if necessary. If still no recovery or download mode then buy a jig or send it to Samsung.

[Q] Phone, Exclamation Triangle, PC - No Download mode

I'm really sorry, I searched for solutions but didnt found one that fits my problem.
I'm a total newbie and ****ed up my phone in many ways. I started trying to install something it wasnt suposed to work on my phone (rom destinated to 9000 and stuff). I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000b (sold to latin amarica) and came from factory with android 2.2.
I'm now stuck with the black screen of death, no matter what I do I get this screen. It hapened after I tryied to install unsucessfully the original rom of the phone and odin presented me with an error.
Before I try any further I'd like your advices as how to procede regarding my 9000b. Pulling the battery out, putting it in again and holding either vol down or both volumes and either pluging the phone on usb or pressing power allways gives me the same result, the screen with phone exclamation triangle and pc.
So, before I buy a jig cable on ebay that will probably take 3 weeks to get here (Brasil) is there anything else I can try?
Please help me, I'm desperate and I dont want to take it to assistence, it would cost me much money and ruin all my courage in trying to use Roms.
Thanks alot and sorry for the bad english.
so did you have the 3 button combination before this happened ??
have you tried to charge the phone whilst powered off, then when the phone gets hot, try download mode then ? sometimes this works, as heat can help download mode work.
another thing that has worked for SOME people, is leaving the battery out for 10mins, doing the 3 button combo, and whilst holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery.
you could try these and see what happens,
And 3 weeks delivery for the JIG is a long time, couldnt you make one in less that 3 weeks.
If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed until you get your hands on a jig, simple as that. Just wait. Patience is a virtue.
Thanks in advance for the quick reply guys, I ordered the jig, estimated 20 days, usualy it takes the same amount from the central postal ofice to my home since they allways restrict packages from hong kong. I'm considering making one but I'm a total denial in eletronics.
I was able to get to download mode before this problem yes. I would just hold down vol and center key and then power. Now even when I plug it in to charge I get the screen with the exclamation.
Any more sugestions?
no other suggestions other than whats listed above
looks like you will have to wait for the JIG to arrive.
Loner-phone here you come lol
Then I have a couple of questions.
1) Since I plut it in directly on the power and still recive the same screen is the phone still charging? Or once the battery is over I'm ****ed up twice?
2) Is there any chance that the jig wont work or I in some way ****ed up my I-9000b permanently?
3) After I make/get a jig how should I procede? I heard about one-click odin, but apears that its for another model of phone, and since I got on all this trouble exactly for trying to do things to my phone that were suposed to be only for another model, I'm kind of lost.
Inputs?
Thank you all for already awnsering my questions.
1) the system is corrupted so the charging indicator will be too - thus leading to Phone ! PC image - this is the only image the phone can now produce
2) The 'JIG' has a 100% success rate - providing that the motherboard is not fried - which it isnt as it still shows an image
3) the jig is just a modified USB, just plug it into the phone whilst powered off and download mode will appear, and then you just attach your genuine USB cable and flash stock ROM thru ODIN.
azzledazzle Thank you very much for your patience, but since I`m a total newbie to all this, some of your awnsers I didnt understood fully, do you care explain me better?
Regarding question 1) The power indicator is corrupted, ok. But this means if my battery die out of usage it wont charge again or just that the indicator wont show that is charging but the battery actualy is charging?
and for question 3) Is ther any tutorial directed to I-9000 on how to use odin to flash a stock ROM ? like baby steps? After all that I'm even afraid to turn the phone on, so I would like to know exactly what to do. I`m cosindering asking someone with technical skills to help me on a home made jig.
oh im sorry, i get carried away sometimes.
1) i assume the battery will be charging yes. only the phone will not be able to show this due to the corruption.
2) when you have made / bought a JIG (link below) you ideally want to flash a Stock ROM, you can get this from samfirmware (link below) and also on this site is a tutorial on how to use ODIN, its fairly easy if you just read the instructions provided.
JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551&page=3
Firmwares : www.samfirmware.com
ODIN download and guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Its a miracle, somehow I managed to get into download mode. But I'm still a bit insecure
Here is the deal, I dowloaded a .tar file that alledgedly from my carrier and for my country. The tar is named JPA_JP3_JPA.
Inside the file there are cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zimage
But what should I put where on ODIN if I only have PIT PDA PHONE and CSC?
And how can I discover if I should use pit 512 or 803?
Should I consider a master clear setting?
the file you downloaded is a full firmware compressed into 1 .tar file.
so in odin load the .tar file into PDA section and THATS IT !!
DO NOT USE PIT WITH THIS FILE.
press start and enjoy
PS do a factory reset after the flash

Hello all!
I've got my hands on a GT-I9000 today.
It's got 2.3.3 Android on it.
Wanting to install CM7, I was first of all trying to root it.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I downloaded heimdall-frontend and the "Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery".
When I put my phone into DL Mode and connect it to my Mac, I can't write the image to it.
Heimdall is failing with "Failed to receive device info response!"
What do you ppl suggest me to do now?
Thanks,

Indeed I now managed to get Windows XP PC.
one trouble still remains: after rooting the device remains in an infinite reboot loop!!!
It only stops when WiFi is disabled.
Any help bout this?
Or at least any means to get back to a factory ROM?
I got 2.3.3 before flashing...
Thanks!
Try to flash the nightly again, should solve the bootloop-issue.
Or you can wipe cache/dalvik cache, this helped me too.

Just take the latest nightly. To wipe the cache/dalvik cache you have to boot into recovery (hold volume UP + home button + power button.

HELP!!!! Stuck on Boot Screen!!!!

HELP!!!
Im stuck on boot logo and I cannot flash anything on PC Odin. And I cannot access Recovery Mode (Neither CWM or system recovery). I can only go into Download Mode.
I was on CheckRom NoteHD and I used the kitchen app to download franco kernel and one of the mods (Use camera flash below 15% to be precise) and as soon as I installed, it didn't let me boot back into Checkrom!!! And Now im stuck on boot logo no matter how hard I try. I did try flashing the wipe ROM (Pre-rooted Open Europe 2.3.6 LC1), I also tried flashing the CF-Root file but still no luck. PC Odin says failed in between the process!!
Please Help me guys.. I don't know what really went wrong as I have installed stuff from the KitchenPro App before.
What can I do now?
Thanks

First this:Turn off the device and pull the battery, wait for 30 seconds and try to get in recovery mode, if that works reflash CheckRom. If that doesn`t work pull the battery again and get in downloadmode and connect to the pc and see if Odin recognizes the phone. If it does flash any stock rom.

I tried the exact same thing you mentioned and no, it doesn't go into recovery mode. and yes, it does go into download mode but it fails to flash. I tried 2-3 different firmware versions of 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and I'm pretty sure the downloaded files aren't corrupt!! I don't know what to do...
The only thing working is getting to download mode but then thats no point since I can't flash any ROM.

There are threads about reviving recovery i think on xda, haven`t needed them so far but look around and you will find them. If you can`t restore recovery or downloadmode then it`s off to the shop i guess

"Battery Too Low, Can't Download"
Now there's another problem.
Not only I Can't flash anything, I can't even get to Download Mode because the battery is low.
When I press the Vol Down + Power + Home key, I get "Low Battery, Can't Download" in red font.
I left my phone on charge through the AC port and I had no idea it wouldn't charge. The only thing was that my phone was exteremly hot but still with zero battery. I even tried plugging the phone through the USB cable but still no luck.
I removed battery for few minutes upto 30 mins and put it back in and plugged in the charger but all I see is the empty battery symbol keeps flashing every 5 seconds.
Is there any way I can charge my battery and get back to download mode so I could try flashing the stock kernel to get past the boot screen? I even tried plugging in the USB jig that I used with my SGSII previously, but it was of no use as well.
Please Help!!!
your only option is to use a universal charger external, or borrow another note to put your battery in.
once your battery is full you can carry on the previous steps
good luck

hopefully i can charge my battery at best buy and then go on with the process!!
Hey,
I managed to buy an external charger and I was able to go to Download Mode again.
After that I tried to flash stock kernel (stockKernelXXLA4.tar) And Odin said "Pass".
After that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Logo again.
I'm not sure what to do now!!
Please help.
Is there anything else that I could flash?
Even though I flashed a stock kernel, I still see a yellow exclamation mark..
PLEASE HELP, I NEED MY NOTE TO COME BACK TO LIFE!
Sorted this mess out!!!
I flashed "N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar" And the phone now works!!!
Stock kernels didn't do the work for me, but the official ICS release did.
Thanks to all that contributed in the thread.
is the new release can do ?
i'm using the LPT / LQ2, and the flashing process very long like stuck in firmware upgrade process. The bar just like never move for half our alrd.
how long you take for yours ?

Bootloop with no possibility to enter recovery mode and no suitable drivers :(

I rebooted my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 today and got a bootloop.
(I wasn't messing with firmare or smth, it was low on memory and clearing doesn't help so I decided to reboot it)
When I try to enter recovery mode I am getting the same bootloop.
The only thing that I can do is to enter download mode.
But no driver is working for me so Odin can't see the phone.
The firmware is Andy Thomson's ICS (version prior to 2.8.10, one ore two earlier, I can't remember precisely) with Mackay kernel.
I've tried countless number of drivers on Win7 х64 and XP 32 and it's still "Unknown device".
I've tried Samsung drivers extracted from KIES (including latest 1.5.9.0)
I found some hacked versions that said to be specially modified for win7-64 and ICS roms
I tried to extract drives from Heimdall - no luck with that too
I installed the Android SDK and USB drivers from it
All of above didn't help
Any suggestions?

Holding power button without battery solved my problem with non-detecting device. When I connected it to computer, the drivers were automatically installed and now Odin can see my phone. (But without picture and the com port is on yellow background if it means something) That's at least something, thanks!
But flashing pit or kernel or pit with kernel (as in your instructions about bootloops) doesn't help. I still got a bootloop and the picture on boot is still from Mackay kernel despite i've flashed it with semaphore and didn't see any errors in Odin while flashing.
Still cant get to recovery mode (tried different combinations from your faq)

Never Flash Phone with low Battery Charge, use external charger to charge Battery First to full, if possible
First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
thanks 4 your fast reply!

Did that already, and will do that before i flash again.
Since i don't have an external charger, and no device where my battery would fit in, do u know what likely it is, that my battery is charging up?

it depends on what is causing the bootloop, If the bootloader is the problem, than it may not charge your phone . so try to power down and try charging, see if you get charging screen on your phone, when phone is "OFF"
Try not to take the risk of flashing with a low battery charge as , nothing would work, if you lose power when flashing botloader or when booting ..see My Android Solutions, scroll down

Ace won't turn on.

OK... so a couple of days ago a friend of mine screwd my phone when he tried to install clockwork recovery without rooting, I was stuck at Samsung logo, no recovery, only download mode... so today after going through tons of threads so I could use Odin with ace on win8.. I finnaly managed to un**** it... so I could re**** it again... so I followed this thread after reviving the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
After rooting and instaling cw, I tried to install a ROM on it, namely nightly cm (found somewhere here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188679)... I got a status 7 error cause of the assertion, which in removed, after successfully installing the ROM (or so recovery mode said) I tried reboting and it no longer turned on. Doesn't seem to charge and it won't boot...
The only things I can think of that i did wrong were:
Having under 50% battery life
Not removing sim card
PS: also before installing ROM I cleared caches and reset to fact. Settings
Any ideas on how to fix this? If not, what did I do wrong here?
EDIT: ok so i think i figured out what i did, i wanted to download this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575 ... i went to the "external webstie" to download, and i think i downloaded this rom "android cm_skate-userdebug-cm-10.2 (stable)" which it seems its not for my phone :S ...
Is it possible to boot into download mode now? would a usb jig work? something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8822843&postcount=1
Or is it a lost cause?
Thanks...

If you want to use stock rom again then flash stock rom via odin through download mode. to get to download mode, press volume down + home + power button at the same time until it shows a small "downloading..." word. For further info, How to upgrade, root & flash Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

Thanks for the answer, i know the "shrotcut", as i said in the op i used odin allready, but the big issue is the phone does not react to the power button, idk what the rom i installed did, if its bricked or if its just expecting a different input rather than the supposed power button, in which case the jig should work...
