[Q] Help! I'm stuck in android system recovery! - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

hey guys! so i'm stuck in android system recovery and i can't really do anything.
i tried applying the update.zip but it said "signature verification failed".
problems im having.
-im NOT rooted
-everytime i reboot the phone it always goes back to system recovery
-i cant flash an update
-my computer wont even recognize the phone
-i cant go into download mode
please help. ive searched everywhere and there doesnt seem to be a clean answer.
anything helps. thanks.

You are getting that because you didn't properly push the recovery file to system/bin....BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ROOTED. try to wipe cache and factory reset the phone from recovery to get back your android stock. Try to get into download mode using one if the methods in the download guide in the bible. Odin to kc1 with the final cwm from krylon that fbis posted. You will have root.
Please read the bible, especially the opening threads. Also, do not apply update.zip.

so i dont know how i can connect to odin if my pc cant read the phone.

reinstall the drivers using the files in the bible useful files section. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554)
restart the computer.
plug one end of the usb to a different port than what you had it before.
take out your sd card and your sim card and put the battery back in.
press the up+down volume keys and connect the usb cable to the phone

[ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11)

This will flash the stock kernel, modem, system, dbdata and cache. There's no need for a pit since we do not have any other OS versions to flash yet that would re-partition your device.
Instructions:
1) Make sure the drivers for the Infuse 4G are installed.
2) Please unzip the .zip file.
3) Run Odin3 v1.81.exe (as administrator if you are on Windows 7)
4) Place your phone into download mode (pull battery, press and hold both Volume keys, put battery in and plug the USB cable in)
5) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##
5) Click the PDA button and choose the .tar.md5 file in the .zip.
6) Press Start.
7) After it completes, it will reboot your device and should boot up like normal. If it fails on flash see FAQ Question 4 below!
There is ALWAYS risk when flashing your device. Unfortunately, I will not be held responsible. Please use this as a means to get back to stock if something happens.
* DO NOT FLASH PIT (PIT not included).
* DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING IN ODIN EXCEPT "AUTO-REBOOT" AND "F. RESET TIME" (should be checked by default)
FAQ:
Question 1: Why does it have .md5 at the end?
Answer: Its in md5 format so in case your download is corrupted, you dont brick your phone.
Question 2: Can I rename it to just .tar and flash?
Answer: DO NOT rename it from md5 format. If it says the md5 sum is invalid, then it will not flash. Just re-download again and try again.
Question 3: Why does it give an error if i try to open in in 7zip/WinRAR/WinZip?
Answer: It should! Windows doesn't recognize when an md5sum is written to the end of a file. Don't panic!
Question 4: It passed the md5sum check, but failed writing on factoryfs. What do I do?!?
Answer: This is exactly what happened to me. Don't panic. Follow these steps exactly:
* Hold the power button to turn off.
* Make sure Odin is still open.
* Plug the USB cable in and hold the volume keys down at the same time. You will be on the screen with a "Phone ! PC" screen.
* Press Start on Odin.
* Once it completes, it will boot up into recovery. Don't worry about wiping cache or user data. Just choose "Reboot Device".
This flash takes quite a long period of time due to the size of the files. I'd say it took me 5 - 10 minutes for the flash to complete. Be patient! Afterwards it booted up with recovery, and chose Reboot Now.
Thanks:
* codeworkx - for the advice and assistance!
* beatblaster - First tester after a bad framework-res update.
* Realityfalse - Second tester
* dotsad - Third tester
* imnuts - Very Helpful advice and instructions for Odin installations!

Can you wipe all user data and wipe cache from recovery (power phone off via power button or battery pull, hold both volune keys down, then hold power down until samsung appears on the screen and let go of ONLY power)? That should get you to boot.
This happened to beatblaster when we tested. Then he did the data wipes in recovery and booted up fine.
cant get recovery at all. tried all above. pit doesnt work

Was your phone bricked before trying this? If so, how did you brick it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
wasnt bricked. wanted to try odin restore.
how can I clear data and cache without recovery? is there a way in ODIN?

TO get into recovery to wipe data and cache, unplug your phone from the USB cable then make sure the phone is powered off. While the device is powered off press and hold the 2 volume buttons then while holding those 2 volume buttons down press and hold the power button. That will get you into recovery. WHile in there, you can wipe user data and wipe cache. Give that a go.
understood. However, as I was able to successfuly get into recovery by that method before attempting the ODIN restore, It will not enter recovery after ODIN flashed the stock.

Whoa. The only thing I can recommend from here is to try to flash via ODIN again or take the brick back to the store and swap for new. Next time, I'd recommend not fixing anything unless it's broken

[Q] Infuse Bricked even after GTG method!

Hey guys so what happened was that I was trying to root my phone through Gingerbread and Odin (as my infuse is Rogers). But I forgot to put in a SD card so now my phone is stuck in reboot loop! I have tried everything you guys have mentioned online! I cleared the user data but no avail. I inserted a SD card, even put on the SGHI997 rom, inserted the folders voodoo and disable-lagfix and still didnt work. I tried unbricking it via GTG but instead my rogers is gone and now I have AT&T and still in a loop! HELP!
Did you look at this post to see if it helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205381
yup i did. It was the GTG process i mentioned that i tired before. the bootlooping has stopped but know is stuck on the samsung screen :S i left at the screen for 30 mins now still nothing. i cant even enter recovery mode anymore
u can not get into download mode??
yeah i still can
Were you able Odin back to stock?
not really, these are the results of odin:
GTG odin process: stuck at samsung screen. Cannot enter recovery mode.
Gingerbread process: goes to clockwordmod recovery (red txt). I wipe sd, wipe data/factory reset, enters bootloop. However can enter recovery mode.
Rogers stock: goes to andriod recovery mode (blue txt). I wipe sd, wipe data/factory reset, enters bootloop. However can enter recovery mode.
so no phone does not go back normal functioning self

From recovery you should be able to get to download.
Try this link with the option to get root & 3e recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
It sounds like you do not have modified 3e installed so it will check for sig?
from there if you install packages 2X you can get to CWM and flash what you will.....
EDIT: Sorry, I see you are able to get to CWM
can you not put a new rom on the SD and flash it? Or start over again with a fresh stock in case there was a glitch in the first install?
I am in the same situation and have the same problem too, i"ve looked lots of post and tried different method,,
even GTG's method it still in boot loop!!!!T^T

Hey when you say rom is assume you mean pda kernal files that come with odin and such? Then those would be PDA_ROGERS_UXKG3.tar.md5, PDA_Infuse_Gingerbread.tar.md5, the files the come in GTG unbrick.
I have also did repartion, but it did nothing.
I you mean rom by the SGHI997 rom i tried that too
Edit: Okay so I have been searching online and discovered you need put the room onto the internal sd card. But i dont see how i can do that considering my phone goes to recovery mode straight away

I'd like to bring the UnBrickable mod to this platform which will allow us to flash bootloaders to UnBrickably modded devices.. and seriously mod the crap out of the firmware... If you decide to turn it in for repair, consider PMing me so I can do some reverse engineering on it and then you can turn it in for not being able to turn on
Your device likey requires a PIT flash just so you know.

In CWM (red) under "mounts and Storage, select "Mount USB". Of course you are connect to your computer when you do this and in windows an external drive should become available. Place the zip file on the root of that drive.
Once copied, disconnect from windows first then unmout in CWM. from here you can go directly to and install from zip.
Hope that makes sense.

hey i tired what you said. i did a few times nothing came. then on my 4th try the driver showed up on my computer but it said 'please insert drive.' i reset and tried again the drive didnt show up
Remove the sim card and try again. Also,you can always copy a rom to an sdcard and install that in your Infuse.
Cranky...
hey i tried what you said but same result. i cant put on rom on because they mass storage does not show on my pc :S after the odd time of resetting and entering recovery mode, it connects but it says 'insert drive'

yes try a pit flash with repartition selected, it might fix it. theses types of bricks have been rare on the infuse and many people dont have experience with them. the available pit is packaged with the att ultimate unbrick but you should probably use it with the rogers odin firmware.

Sorry it took so long. I'll try to get in touch with GTG to make sure that his unbrick threads are more clear as to which device they are appropriate for.
UCKD5/E3 unbricks will only work on AT&T Infuses
UXKG3 will only work on Rogers Infuses
Custom Gingerbread ROMs will work on both, but there are no Odin-flashable packages for these.

[Q] Stuck trying to CwM install Black test 1.6 rc1.zip ?

Was stock KJ6, rooted w/DooMLoRD_v3.
Didn't have "CwM Recovery" so used sgs-kernel-flasher-v1.6.2.apk and got on sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.0-unsigned-update.zip
Then used CwM to flash VahallaBlack.zip and I bricked.
Got back with Odin3 v1.7(stock+Voodoo-T959VKI3.tar)
Phone info shows my kernel still sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.0 after the factory/data reset.
Where to from here-I just get (E: can't install vahallablack.zip -bad)
I want to use CwM - I want to install the new Vahalla Black.
Download the KJ6 version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Then you'll have a stock rom with CWM, you should also try redownloading the valhalla zip file in case it was a bad download.
Oh no. It was up on that KJ6-beta2d and I did the following instructions on first boot-
But I suggest if you are using CWM to back up your sdcard and do a battery pull after you see the boot animation. Boot into recovery and repartition your sdcard to have >=2048M of ext2.
This will make sure you have no problems converting to ext4 from rfs and visa-versa.
It will not go back into recovery now. Only screen coming up is icons of "phone..triangle..computer" and will not connect via USB.
Guess I'm stuck again.........help.
If your in download mode then use this to flash stock KJ6 onto it.

Yes, but now windows 7 doesn't recognise phone and drivers will not connect Odin and/or Heimdall
Download heimdall from here https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32.zip
Go into the drivers folder
Run 'Zadig'
Click on options then list all usb devices
Drop the bar down and click "Samsung Usb Composite Device"
And then select 'Install driver'
After rebooting and trying again it connected but failed at installing factory FS. Now just stuck at that spot with no way out.....
I will try new driver you suggest.
Bib question- will 32 bit work? I'm 64 bit?
Heimdall One Click should then recognize your phone.
Nope, it shows up as an unknown device
It was recognising it before the factoryFS error caused me to disconnect during download mode (2)twice.
Do a battery pull and give it one last try.
If it doesn't work then I don't know what to tell you.
OK thanks. Been pulling the battery alot.
Hey SUCCESSFUL! Trying again and again etc finally paid off -again.
CwM Voodo LAgfix Rec v3.0.3.8x
KJ6-beta2d (I hope)phone info now
showing Kernel v:2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130
Do I need verify this ?
Now on to my goal. Anything special I need from this point before I flash VahallaBlack ROM? Don't need to name it update.zip .....
black test 1.6 rc1.zip
Glad I can help all you need to do now is simply clear cache and dalvik cache and flash.

If you made it to the fail before you unplugged it your still ok. Next time Get into download mode by
1 pulling your battery
2 hold Vol up Vol down at the same time
3 plug in USB to computer and phone
4 re insert Battery and continue to hold the Vol buttons until your phone does something.
At this point if your phone does anything you are most likely in download mode and can recover. Just keep trying.

[Q] Bricked phone

Hi, I was on CM9 ALPHA8 and I flashed with odin 1.85 and 3.04 the latest I9003XWLF2_I9003XXLE4_I9003ITVLF2_ stock rom used as PDA, but each time I pressed Start it was stuck in setup connection..., then I plugged battery off and now my phone doesn't boot up, and I can't go in recovery/download mode, anyone help ? I tried the trick pressing the hard-reset button behind the phone with a pin but no success, even tried by removing battery, pressing the buttons for download mode and put battery back in, all it did was windows looking for the omap3630 drivers .
Each time I remove battery and put battery back in (with usb plugged) I heard the windows sound.
Thanks for your help...

You must do following things
1. install latest kies & restart pc.
2. Use v1.83 odin version.
3. Check whether firmware file u have downloaded is correct or currupted. Its better to download it again.
4. check whether u are applying 3 combination button in correct manner or not to boot in download mode. Most of the time people do mistake in this step.

Stuck on System Recovery Screen

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S a week ago and now it seems bricked. Here is what happened:
1. I got it rooted yesterday using "SuperOneClick".
2. Then I installed "Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 Kernel" on it. Since SGH 4G Wiki recommeded having the stock Gingerbread ROM flashed at least once prior to flashing any other Gingerbread ROMs, I downloaded " bhundven's Back to Stock Heimdall One-Click" and installed the latest Java and Visual c++ runtime.
3. According to "lumin30's Heimdall One-Click for Dummies", I downloaded "usbdeview-x64.zip" and tried to uninstall anything that has Samsung and Android related. However, some of them cannot be uninstalled by it and I had to move on. I put my phone in Download Mode and installed the "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device" drivers using Zadig. I got it flashed successfully and booted into the Gingerbread ROM.
4. Bad things happened when I tried to flash the bootloaders. It stuck at certain step for at least half an hour and I decided to pull the USB cable out.
5. I tried to flashed it again using the same approachdescribed above. I got into the download mode and flashed hte device. But during the reboot, it stuck on the System Recovery Screen, saying
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter: OK Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
# Manual Mode#
6. I tried 2 different computers and all USB ports, and still it would eventually stick on the System Recovery Screen.
I am definitely a noob, and I don't see many posts discussing what I described above (one post suggested using Odin, but I am not sure where to find the right download link). I wonder whether there is a way to get my phone back working (simply jump out of the System Recovery Screen?) using Heimdall One-Click. Or I should try Odin instead?
Thanks!
Try it again with a different USB port, cable, computer, etc. Get into download mode by holding vol up and vol down while the phone is completely off and plugging in the USB cable. Then flash once without bootloaders, then when the phone begins to reboot (after the update completes in recovery mode), pull the battery, get back into download mode, then flash with bootloaders.

Thank for the suggestions. I have tried 2 computers and 5 different USB ports so far.
I can always get into download mode and flash without bootloaders. After that the phone will reboot and stick on the System Recovery Screen I described above. I can never reach the next step--flash with bootloaders.
I wonder whether there is anything missing during the reboot process?

What happens when you try to flash bootloaders? It hangs?

Yes, in the very beginning I successfully flashed the ROM and after reboot I got a fresh working phone. Then the device hung there when I try to flash bootloaders.
Now I can still flash the ROM but after reboot, it will stick at system recovery screen and won't work anymore.

Have you tried flashing bootloaders again? Pull the battery and get back into download mode.

Stop. Remove the heimdall drivers using the usbreview. Reboot your computer.
Goto this guide and follow the instructions.

umlaaat had a similar issue and what is happening is your usb ports are not playing nicely with heimdall.
cpkelley94 and eollie,
Thank you very much for the help. Now it is working again.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall all the Samsung related drivers using [usbdeview-x32.zip] according to lumin's step by step guide.
2. reinstall "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device" driver using Zadig according to lumin's step by step guide.
3. Flash with Bootloaders. However, I want to point out that in my previous tries, I couldn't select "Flash Bootloaders" without doing step 1 and 2.
It is so great that I can try some custom ROMS tonight.
