I READ IT
I have done this before. Rooting i mean but the problem is that i have already downgraded to the rc29 but i just can't enter the recovery mode. I have factory resetted and i have tried to flash the recovery image again but not works. The phone is at rc29 and i did the telnet commands but i just cannot get the phone into recovery mode. It doesn't allow it. Is there is a way to reset it to rc30 so i can try again?

There's already a brick thread with helpful tips
bricked g1s are like unicorns they don't exsist when you flash the phone
Try searching for "brick thread" using search function
brick
Also if the phone loads up it's not bricked and the recovery function is there it comes preloaded with rc29 just reflash rc29
Bootloader wont read the rc29
I put the rc29 file on my sdcard and entered bootloader by pressing camera and power button but when it enters the menu it says there is no img file present. I know that it is the right file and i have placed in the correct place. And i have not changed the file name.

make sure you unzip the file, then place the .nbh extension on the sd.

Reformat your sdcard it might say it's fat32 but might be corupted. It can't find the file is cause the filesystem is corupted or the rc29 img did not transfer correctly
Thank you so much
Thanks alot. That is the step i missed. I'm such an idiot. Thank u again. Now my girlfriend won't kill me for messing up her phone.

You're absolutely sure it's named dreaimg.nbh, NOT dreaMimg.nbh and it's in the root directory of the SD card not a subdirectory and you downloaded the ENTIRE file (download didn't crap out prematurely?
The step i missed
No wat happened is that i didn't unzip the rc29 file and i put the whole folder on the sdcard and then i tried to run it in bootloader. That where i was messing. Thank u guys very much for your help i really appreciate it.

by Cotulla

Bad Radio
I tried to hard reset using contacts and calender with softreset it tells to press the green blah blah..
I did and still the same.
I tried to install any other upgrade else than WWE_3 but nothing
How to install a radio with this issue or how to get the original rom ? if I connect it to pc via usb it keep restarting with the same screen
Help please
can you post some device information.? what radio version did you install.?
it is I mate Jam with the default rom
64 MB
I can't get any info since it is not starting
try this.
follow this steps, this is my way of downgrading.
1.) download this rom http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/M...11200_Ship.exe
2.) extract those files in a folder. (any folder name you like, use winrar.)
3.) run the file ROMUpgradeUt.exe
4.) download and save this file inside the folder where you extracted the files in step 1. http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/M...adeUt_noID.exe after you downloaded it, run it.
5.) follow the onscreen instruction until your done flashing.
observe your device if it still have the same problem.
Samsung Mesmerize; SCH-i500; Rooted stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread with Busybox!
I really don't know how I got to this point, I've flashed w/ Odin so many times now, that I have no idea if the above is still where I'm at but here goes the problem:
I turn on my phone and it doesn't even show the Samsung logo, just goes directly to the Samsung Recovery Utils with #MANUAL MODE# displayed at the bottom of the screen.
"reboot system now"
again, reboots into the same recovery mode (Samsung...)
"apply sdcard:update.zip"(after returning to the main screen):
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
"wipe data/factory reset":
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
(Invalid arguement)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount HIDDENSDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
"wipe cache partition": works fine though
I know this has been asked before but I haven't found any other posts about the Samsung Mesmerize SCH i500 & I'm not sure if this is model specific & don't really want to take my chances, sorry.
Ok, update: I just used Odin to reflash to rooted 2.3.4 & it still goes to recovery mode (Samsung) & all the options are the same (w/ the same results) as above, I can't get my sdcard to show on my computer to manually apply the update, unless there is a way I don't know of, the only way I know requires me to be on the phone's Main Menu & use the notification drop-down menu to activate transfer mode on my computer, what am I missing?
Now I used Odin again, this time to put ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.0 on it & now it booted up in CwM Recovery mode but I still get the same error when trying to apply the update (see above)
Trying to "- mount USB storage":
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I just want to format the whole thing, phone & sdcard, & start over from scratch as though I had just bought the phone.
Ok, for future reference, if anyone has a problem like this, unless you find another solution, this is what I did:
I downloaded a rooted stock 2.2 Froyo, ran Odin & just put the SCH-I500_USCC_EA11_REL_ROOT.tar.md5 in the PDA part & flashed it, it went to the recovery screen again at boot up but, after selecting Reboot it went right to the phone splash screen, so, I guess I'm back in business but I haven't tested anything yet, I'll update this post to keep you all in the loop, wish me luck.
It would seem that I can get wifi but I don't have a carrier or 3G, as far as I can tell, its become no more than an iPod Tough (just having wifi access) I can, however, now access the sdcard, when I plug the USB cablein it asks if I want Samsung Kies or Mass storage.
I don't know
Download and unzip the linked file. Place the tar file in the PDA slot and the pit file in the PIT slot. Make sure repartition is checked and the flash. This should get the phone booting again.

Once this is done download and unzip the linked file. Do the exact same thing. Place the tar file in PDA and the pit file in PIT. Make sure repartition is NOT checked and flash. This should have you booting into EH09 without issue.

Worked great, thank u very much, started off w/ the signal bars at full but wouldn't make any outgoing calls or send any messages but I could receive messages (text), every time I tried to make a call it kept giving me a recording, something about "To make a collect call please enter the are code and phone number of the person you are trying to call...." so I type the number & it responds w/ something "....the number you are trying to call cannot be billed..." "...to make a phone call w/ a pre-paid card or a credit card..." so I just entered the US Cellular activation # & I was back in business!
ok so after this!
After i do this (Hopefully it works) then could i use ODIN to flash the pre rooted 2.3 rom? or not?
Once done with those instructions you will be on EH09. Odin a recovery and flash the below linked file. It will root it for you.

Any chance you could relink those? I'm in the exact same boat.
Is there anyway I can get those links? When I click them it say's they're expired or something...

Check rootzwiki, there's no development going on here.

Hello.
I own a SM-G920F from Austria, and i tried to update the Android version to 6.0.1 by downloading the United Kingdom ROM. Unfortunately, after flashing it, odin failed, and now my device cannot boot and shows a error.
I have tried the 5.1.1 version from UK, but that failed too just after a second of pressing Odin, i absolutely have no idea what to do now.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Did the Odin failed at flashing hidden.img?
"Take the image file you have and remove the .md5 extension. You should now be able to open the file with Winrar/7zip and see the hidden.img file. Copy it out and rename it as above.
If you're having issues renaming, open up Folder Options, go to View and untick "Hide extensions for known file types". This should allow you to rename it hidden.img.tar. Then add the file to PDA (called AP in Odin 3.10) and start it.
If you get a failure on this, disconnect the phone, then reconnect it."
Thanks though
Thanks.. I used Smart Switch to restore the original ROM and everything is working fine now. I'm not too eager on installing 6.1.1 anymore
I have the similar issue installing the XEF, i got FAIL with odin, then error on startup,
then I did the hidden.img.tar thing and it passed but now it stuck at galaxy s6 logo,
are you sure its a correct method because the hidden file is only 7 mb
I have no idea, and i really don't want to try anymore, but if it's 7mb, then it's bound not to work.
If you want to go back to your original state, open smart switch and reset your original ROM.
