[Q] Phone having issues booting after flashing rom - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

So I rooted my phone and flashed Krylon360's Stock + Root rom using this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759 ). Everything went perfectly until I rebooted from recovery mode. It sits there in the boot screen trying its hardest but just keeps randomly vibrating. Not sure what to do about this since It will not go back into download mode to retry again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go back into download mode and try flashing kc1 instead

Nothing ended up working. Just kept sitting in the boot screen, vibrating some more. So I just flashed the original stock back onto it. Thanks for your help though.

Put your phone in download mode and flash the SMS-KJ6 one-click from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
(yea, I need to update the kernel in that package... everything moves so fast)
Leave the one-click open, after the phone reboots from the first flash take the battery out (let it reboot all the way to the pink t-mobile screen, then pull the battery. It does boot into recovery and tries to do some csc update, just ignore any errors in that). put the battery back in and the battery case back on, hold vol+ and vol-, plug in the usb cable and let go of vol+ and vol- when you see the download mode screen come up.
Check the flash bootloaders and click flash again. This gets your phone on GB bootloaders, which if you're coming from froyo, you will need it (you can also get the same bootloaders from FBis251's ext4 starter kit).
After that is done, you should download octane 3 cwm zip and my latest kernel to your sdcard, reboot to recovery, wipe everything, flash octane 3 then my kernel. Let it sit for 30 minutes after rebooting to let everything juice up and soak in.
Also, never odin/heimdall flash on a low battery. Always charge your phone all the way up before doing this as not to brick because your battery died.

[Q] **HELP** Infuse stuck at SAMSUNG logo

I'm a noob and I tried to install 3e recovery using the instructions and video supplied in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105413
Everything seemed to work fine until I went into ROM manager and tried to backup current ROM (stock, rooted). I selected backup ROM and now my phone is sitting with the SAMSUNG logo and it hasn't moved from that in almost an hour. I'm not sure what to do to get the phone to boot up normally. I have done a battery pull but that didn't work. When I plug the phone into my computer, XP does recognize that is plugged in because it shows the internal and external sd cards in the My Computer window. I can't open either on by double clicking on the icon for each drive. I'm getting pretty desperate because I can't seem to figure out how to get the phone to boot normally. Any help and/or suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!!!
Odin flash to stock in dev section
try a hard reset. you shouldnt pull batteries unless it is the last resort, linux needs to unmount the file system.
a hard reset(different from a factory reset) is accomplished by holding the vol up +vol dn + power at the same time untill the phone reboots. if you wait till the samsung screen pops up again and immediately release you may also enter 3e recovery mode.
try to just boot the phone into the ui first. if it is still ok, go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose captivate or i9000. reboot into 3e recovery(blue text), (select reboot recovery not backup) reinstall packages twice! you should now be at a green text cwm recovery. once you get it setup the backup link in rom manager should work.
if the phone fails to boot up after a hard reset, you can attemp to clear user data in 3e recovery. you can get to 3e with phone off(you may pull battery now if you need to) hold vol up+ vol dn + pwr and hold untill you see the "samsung" screen. then you can clear data/factory reset
if that doesn't help you can still use odin/heimdall to restore the phone with one of the roms that may already have modded 3e recovery and other nice features.
Thanks for all your help! I managed to get it back working using Odin. Now I'm on the Infused ROM and loving life. I'm going to save this post just in case I get into trouble again down the road.

So u should use gtgs ultimate unbrick then follow this.
1: Root using super one click
2: Download 3e recovery save it to your SD card
3: Use root explorer to move the 3e recovery file to systim bin overwrite recovery file
4: Reboot phone
5: Download Rom manager and click flash clock work mod pic i9000 not the (mtd)
6: Once its done select reboot in recovery
7: In recovery click RE-INSTALL it should load then click re-install again and u should get green cwm then reboot and flash away

This is an old useless method... just Odin flash the community kernel v8... done..

I have had that same boot screen problem too, buy a jig and u can put it into download mode that way then when you use odin3 to restore stock, u can get the stock rom with the recovery in it for u and u just need to download the update.zip on rom manager and then go into recovery and run the update zip twice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
You should get a jig (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...dkw=jig&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) its a life saver in my opinion. because u can restore ur phone if u ever mess up.
I too am stuck at the Samsung logo. I've used Odin to revert to stock but I think the Stock I reverted to was AT&T rather than Rogers? I can't seem to find the Rogers stock. I've tried to get it into recovery mode, taking out the battery booting with power up and down, releasing power when the Samsung logo came up - no good, the logo stays. I'm at a loss? Any advice? Is the a full raft of pit / pda etc files for Odin that I can make the Rogers Infuse as it was day one?
Thanks for any help
I'm in the same boat... maybe it's because the rogers infuse comes as android 2.3? I hope a solution comes out soon!
Same here, Rogers Infuse. Stuck at Samsung logo. Tried infuse odin recovery, and community. Still no go. I tried flashing all the different stock/unbrick roms but nothing.
However, if I install Infused kernel/recovery, i can access the recovery and do a wipe/lagfix.
I was trying to flash to Infused and when I got to the step where the phone rebooted to CWM recovery it hang on the Samsung logo. After about 3 hours of trying various button resets the phone booted normally (ie not to CWM). They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results, well I went back through the same steps to flash to infused and again it froze on the Samsung logo, only I have no idea what I did last time to get it to boot normal, not to CWM. Since it did it before, there must be a combination...anybody know what it might be. I've read and tried everything on the forums. Thought I'd post here prior to using Odin. I am able to get to downloading screen by doing the button/USB cable combo.
I'm headed out of town and won't check this right away, but thanks for any posts with ideas.

Rogers Infuse users need to use the UXKG3 unbrick, not the UCKD5 or E3 unbricks.
The UXKG3 variant tends to fall to the second or third pages of the dev forum since it's far less commonly used.
Holy Crap - im hooped without my phone for work...!

Hi guys,
Here is the solution for this issue.
Just flash with this package that will totally reset your Infuse 4G to UCKJ4, do it with linux that worked for me.

Infuse 4G wont boot - no root, CWM, Passcode locked
Hi guys
I dont know where to start from. This Infuse 4G was dropped by the owner and we happened to come across it.
Checked the SIM card but that was already deactivated and there were no contacts on it.
Then we wanted to check the phonebook and find someone to contact, but the phone was passcode locked.
Then i went and flashed Odin_Community_Kernel_v8.zip since it was on GB, but it doesnt seem to be booting. I was planning on adb-ing into it when it was in recovery (CWM) so that i could delete the passcode and find a way to get in touch with the owner.
Now am stuck at the Samsung logo...:crying:

Many problems, odin to stock does not fix. Please help!

My phone feezes instantly when i try to make calls, and when i recieve calls it rings but as soon as i answer it freezes. only way to unfreeze is to battery pull. Whenever i press the power button to unlock my phone, the screen takes 5-10 seconds to actually turn on to be able to unlock it. Every Time!
More importantly, i have tried to odin back to stock many times with no luck.
I am also unable to flash to any other roms - upon flashing ANY rom i get stuck at samsung logo indefinitely. I also get stuck when i try to odin anything other than UCKD5 stock, like it gets stuck when trying to odin to GB stock. I am able to flash community kernel without getting stuck tho.
Any ideas?
EDIT: i also have tried formatting both SD cards
EDIT2: i used Kies to update firmware to UCLB3, this fixed the unlock issue, but whenever i make calls i cannot hear the other person and they cannot hear me. Still unable to flash ROMS

From what you are describing, I suspect you have have some sort of partition corruption.
You may want to look for any voodoo files and folders on your /sdcard.
Delete them all.
Back up whatever files you want.
Power down.
Take out the microSD for now.
Use the heimdall uclb3 I put together. Alternatively, you can use odin to flash one of the later gb leak like uclb3...but you also need the PIT file and you will need to repartition on the odin interface. If you are unsure, use the heimdall I put together.
Put your phone into DL mode and flash the heimdall or odin.
On the heimdall, if the flash was successful, you will need to check the boot loader box, put your phone back into DL mode and flash it again.
To get cwm recovery, follow the second post in the uclb3 heimdall thread.
gl
I tried Heimdall, it failed at recovery one time and then modem the next. Once it went all the way through without failing, my phone booted into recovery after the flash, and now i am only able to boot into recovery. Odin is now unable to see my device now.
did i do something wrong? :O

download mode again and flash the heimdall again with boot loader checked.
if you cant check the boot loader box, you have to start over with 2 heimdall flash...check the op
odin uses different driver..use a diff usb port

Okay i Heimdall flashed without bootloader then again with bootloader and it booted properly (thanks!!). Then powered off and went into download mode and flashed ENTROPY512's 2.2.2012 kernel for CWM and allowed it to boot. Then i powered off again and three fingered into CWM (three finger boot took about 5minutes if thats important), wiped data/cache/dalvik and formatted system/data/cache and flashed my desired ROM (miui 2.2.4) and nowww it is sitting at samsung logo and has been for 10 minutes and im scared to touch it lol
have u tried change another recovery like clockwork mod from odin and flash roms
Well i have been trying Clockwork mod (CWM)
you mean different versions of that?
yup Another version, or any other type
yeah ive tried 3 versions :/
return to stock
ok if thats did not help
return back to stock
by this step u will not need to odin or cwm
thats stock by java
the stock called "Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click.jar"
Yes i have already used Heimdall to return to UCLB3... many times.. lol

MIUI needs to be flashed twice in recovery to stick..same with cm7/cm9 - (unless you know how to flash just the kernel first - don't worry about this last part) - just boot back into cwm and flash again
haha i already tried starting over, im at the first heimdall flash again. but ill do that once i go through it all and let you know what happends, THanks again

The first boot up is always the longest after a stock reset. Usually 5 minutes.
Repeat boot up should only be 2 minutes - providing you did not wipe any cache or data.
If you had a lot of pics and music or files in your external sd card, the boot up will be longer.
To test this, take out your ext sd card.
boot into cwm.
factory reset. wipe system/data/cache.
Download mode and flash heimdall again...Since you had the bootloader already from the last time, you don't need a bl flash this time.
The first ATT boot up should take 5-7 minutes.
Repeat boot up should only be 2 minutes-3 minutes.
If it is longer, you may have some hardware issues.
Once you start to add things or ext-sd and noted increase boot time, you will narrow down the culprit

Stuck in Update boot loop Please Help!!!

I was rooted with CWM recovery. I odin flashed stock with root injected and then flashed via odin stock kernel and recovery. At this time I was able to pull the update and the device restarted to install. Upon 100% completion the device rebooted as I woudl expect but upon reboot it goes right back into the install, hits 100% and does the same thing. It appears Im stuck in a update boot loop. Has anyone else experienced this?
I did a odin restore with Stock 8013.tar with root injected but upon reboot once odin completes it goes right back into this update loop. Someone please help!!!!

I have same Problem
My only response would be to go to sammobile and download as close to shipped rom as you can (must be for your region and carrier, if from carrier), updated rom is fine. Make sure the download ISN'T corrupted by doing an MD5 check.. Also before f;lashing, make sure you exit KIES as this can screw up the connection in ODIN.
Put in Download mode, hold down volume and power until it says a scary warning, ignore the warning and press up volume.
Flash with ODIN making sure re-partition ISN'T ticked, when it finishes flashing turn off power.
Go to recovery by holding up volume and power button until it goes into recovery.
Wipe data/cache and then wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot and see what happens.
Good luck.

Not working, not go the Recovery Mode, Only Samsung Logo.
I'm having similar issue as Odin keeps failing when trying to flash ROM.
Does anyone know the commands to do it through ADB? I've done it before on my nexus7 but don't know the commands to exactly use for the note. I still can't get into recovery. Only can get into that ODIN mode. I have all drivers and Android ADB installed on PC.
It seems like nothing will write to the NAND. Although my flash count changes now showing my attempts. I might have no choice but to call Samsung and file a warranty claim. I just don't want to lose all the pictures and info that's in my tablet.
Well I got my tablet back yesterday from Samsung. They fixed it. The report showed they replaced some piece that burned out. I forgot the name of it. Unfortunately all my info and stuff was erased. So I had to reinstall everything manually. At least my tablet working like new again. So glad to have it back. Been like a month or so since I've been able to use it. My nexus 7 and galaxy s3 was holding me down in the meanwhile.
This note is a great device. IM seeing again why I've missed it so much. Works flawlessly on stock Tom.

I can't get into CWM either. It just keeps rebooting and getting stuck on the boot screen.
For getting back to CWM, pull the battery (USB unplugged) so it turns off fully, put the battery back in, hold the volume up and down both on the left, and turn it on (hold power until you see something, let go of power but keep holding the volume keys). Once you see CWM come on, you can let go of the volume keys.
You flashed what from what? If what you flashed isn't the same major OS version, the nandroid backup is probably only going to be helpful through Titanium Backup or some other program since you won't be able to flash it successfully.

For getting back to CWM, pull the battery (USB unplugged) so it turns off fully, put the battery back in, hold the volume up and down both on the left, and turn it on (hold power until you see something, let go of power but keep holding the volume keys). Once you see CWM come on, you can let go of the volume keys.

Ok so I tried to get back into CWM and it was unsuccessful. It just gets stuck on the boot screen still. I flashed my 2.3.6 stock rooted nandroid backup from this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404863 . I can still get to recovery mode just not CWM. Any ideas?
Okay... recovery mode but not CWM... what does that mean?
CWM IS recovery mode. Are you trying to get into download mode instead? For that, battery pull, battery in, plug in USB to computer, hold volume... up (I think), turn on (power button until the screen lights up), let go of power, should be in download mode.

Yeah.. I meant i couldn't get into recovery mode but I can get into download mode. Do you think this would get my phone working again? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Working as a phone, yes. If you can get into download mode, you should be able to flash stuff. If you flashed from Froyo to GB-custom, use the one-click twice... first to get the basic ROM over, then tell it to do bootloaders as well. If you flashed from GB to GB-custom, then you only need to flash once.
I'd suggest using the second link, BWaT+stock. Basically, from here:

If you have any problems, make sure you're following the guide fully:

After you get it booting up with root, you can extract apps from the nandroid using Titanium Backup or something else similar.

No Download Mode or Recovery Mode

Wow, I've searched over and over and tried all possible methods as described in posts here and other forums but to no avail. Phone is in boot loop. It boots up to the point where you see blaze, etc., then restarts continously.
I flashed recovery thru Odin 1.85 which went alright. Load supersuper thru CWM. It went alright. Then I flashed cm-11-20140224-NIGHTLY-t769 and got error. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik. When I reboot the phone,it goes into boot loop. I then took battery out and wait for stock download (SGH-T769_NA_TMB_ICS_Opensource) to return to stock.
After the download, I put battery on, used jig to put phone in download mode but it cannot. Tried to put in CWM (Up/Down/Power) but still cannot. When I let go, it boots up continously.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

When you flashed cm was the error a "status 7"?

Maybe adb reboot recovery?
That's if you can get adb

It's ok now. I pulled battery out and let it sit 24hrs. When I put battery back in and plug in the jig, it went directly to download mode! Before, no matter what I did following procedures it never went recovery or download mode. I then flash back stock T769UVMB1_T769TMBMB1 with odin 1.85.
Thanks guys!
