This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over
2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker
3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity
4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin
5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.
6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode
7)Flash to a stock firmware

Cranium Rom V.3.1
All trials failed
Hello,
after i've updated my Galaxy S GT-I9003 with an official Rom JPKPE Gingerbread 2.3.6, and after rebooting, it stucked at bootloop, i've tried everything suggested on web and forums, and lastly your solution, with no benefit.
the problem i noticed that when i press on wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode it tells me :
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
so, is the corruption of the format volume rfs that causes the issue of bootloop
and is this a soft brick of the phone, or hard brick, could it be solved or the phone is dead?
i tried rooting it with CF-Root and bagaria.
if i converted the format to ext4, will that solve the issue.
if so, what are the steps to do that and from where can i get the software that i'll convert by
Note: i've started updating with the XXKPQ ROM putting the PIT file then i downloaded the JPKPE after i issued that problem of bootloop
another Question, is it right that i update with the PID file only knowing that i couldn't find any other files for phone and CSC for this version.
Hope any body could help me to get my phone to life again.
Thanks

Yea exactly what devilhell said. Its impossible to hardbrick your phone technically if you haven't flashed any bootloader on it.

As long as your boot partition and recovery partition is not corrupted your phone is recoverable. If boot partition is corrupt your phone will not boot. So as long as your phone boots it is recoverable.

Hi there,
i have an I9003 and it is using froyo 2.2
i intended to upgrade until gingerbread and i have chosen the KPU (latest ROM). I use mobile ODIN to flash and the bootloop issue happens.
So, to recover back, i came to here with hope to recover my I9003.
the steps i did was:
1. Download and run odin 1.8.5.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-KP7...-.tar.md5 (single file FW)
5. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
6. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
7. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
8. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
9. Click Start button to flash the files to phone.
10. Everything pass except there is 1 failure.
Now my I9003 can boot up, however with bootloop issue. What should i do now?

I had my phone i9003 flashed to a i9000 stock rom by a total mistake.
I had both pit files on my PC so I mixed up by a mistake.
Now my device is completely dead and nothing works out. Not even charging, completely unusable now.
Hardware reset, JIG's and combination keys, ODIN setups..nothing takes me to download mode.
Phone is still under warranty so afraid to JTAG.
Do you all think my phone is recoverable? Will the samsung warranty tech's will find out about the issue and won't the claim?
Please help. tried everything and now clueless.

Hello everyone!
I had some stability issues on my Samsung GT-I9003, so I flashed it . And, as the title says it, I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried 3 or 4 flashings with different packages. Some where "One packages", with one unique PDA, or I tried the XXKPE with everything. And I'm lost. I never get past the first boot screen.
[EDIT]
I found a way to boot it, but the touchscreen isn't working, so I'm now stuck on the language selection page...
Is it my ROM who doesn't fit?
[/EDIT]
Thanks!
Before going to download mode try wiping everything, then flash xxkpe TWICE then wipe again. Make sure you flash it correctly. And odin shows PASS. Try flashing the latona.pit included in xxkpe.
Press thanks if it helped..

Thanks for the answer!
Problem is it didn't work!
I got a little deeper in the problem. In order to boot to android, I need to flash the bagaria root file. It contains the normalboot image. So I assume that the boot is corrupted. I'd add that after the rooting, the android recovery boots and wipes everything, but he says that the CSC wasn't installed, because "[...]/stl11" is not there. Is it the .pit?
I'm lost, again...
Thanks a lot for your help!

then follow the guide here

I think you just fail a step on flashing a rom.
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------
Flashing bagaria root is done after flashing a stock rom for it to be rooted. You failed to put CSC file in odin maybe. Follow the guide above perfectly then everything will be fine.
You start the procedure on Step 3 if your done downloading XXKPE here

/stl11 is the /cache partition.
look like you fail to flash pit file, or u flash "one package .tar file" with partition ticked in odin.
see below for the samsung recommend setup
flash pit file with all the firmware one short.
if you flash from Froyo to GB, i recommend to flash the bootloader update.
however, flash on you own risk.

Hi, I am facing the same issue with a GT-I9003 as jonasdu91. I tried all the solutions mentioned above, tried all sort of firmwares. The only time the phone responded was when I flashed the bagaria file. That too ended up with a non-responsive touchscreen at the language selection screen.
Could anyone suggest what more could I do to get the phone to upgrade?

How do I flash other stock rom after that? I've tried to flash XXLE4 rom, and received boot error and unmounted FS
Hello everyone, an acquaintance of mine, had initially given his Galaxy SL device to a friend of his, asking him, to 'update' the software on the device. The device had come with Android 2.2.1, pre-installed on it (PDA: I9003DDKB2; PHONE: I9003DDKA5; CSC: I9003ODDKA6).
Apparently, my acquaintance's friend flashed the I9003DDMF1 stock Gingerbread firmware via PC ODIN, and after my acquaintance gave me the device, I noticed, it did not boot to a home screen. It would boot loop at the Samsung boot animation.
The device boots into Download Mode, but does not get into the stock Recovery Mode. So, I attempted numerous remedial procedures. I used PC ODIN3 v1.85 for all flashing instances.
Keeping Misledz's guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787, as a reference, I flashed the I9003XXKPE firmware package, followed by the I9003XXKPQ_I9003SERKPQ_SER firmware.
After PC ODIN gave a PASS for the I9003XXKPE firmware package flashing instance, the device rebooted, and I observed a process, looking like the stock Recovery Mode, continuing on the device. There were a couple of strings, displayed in red colour. The device rebooted again to the Samsung logo, and I had to pull the battery out, to continue with the I9003XXKPQ_I9003SERKPQ_SER firmware flashing instance. After PC ODIN displayed the PASS sign and the device rebooted, I unplugged the USB cable, but the boot loop at Samsung boot animation persisted.
Since the above mentioned procedure did not solve the boot loop issue, I decided to take the device back to a stock Froyo firmware, and if successful, reattempt to 'update' the device to stock Gingerbread (2.3.6), by following Misledz's guide. I flashed the I9003_XXKB1 stock Froyo firmware, but this time, the device would not go beyond the Samsung logo.
As a momentary last attempt, before seeking help here, I flashed the I9003ZCKC1 firmware package, but yet, the device does not go beyond the Samsung logo.
All the flashing instances completed successfully on PC ODIN.
Is it possible to revive the device, such that it boots to a home screen and is functional again? I desperately need help.

I believe, the 5 files contained within the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip package, would correspond to the options available in PC ODIN3 v1.85, as follows -
PIT > latona_20110114.pit

xumix, I flashed the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip firmware package using PC ODIN3 v1.85, but to no avail. The boot loop on the Samsung boot animation continues to persist.
EDIT
I have noticed there is a u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit, contained within the Odin3-v1.85 folder. What is this, PIT file for?
I re-flashed the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip firmware package using PC ODIN3 v1.85, and the process completed successfully. But, since the boot loop at the Samsung boot animation persisted, I pulled the battery out, and booted into Recovery Mode, not once, but on two separate instances. I was able to perform a wipe data/factory reset, on the second instance. I also performed a wipe cache partition and rebooted the device. But, the boot loop issue still continues.
I have attached images of both instances, I clicked using another device, to this post.
If dont mind. Try my step below.
In download mode
Flash pit file alone. Make sure repartition is ticked.
Phone will black screen, you pull out battery and put back.
Download mode again. Flash xxkpe without pit file.
BTW, you error show properly is emmc chip broken, hope it is not.

chongns, I followed your stepwise suggestions, to the word, but unfortunately, the boot loop issue still persists. One distinct error under the stock recovery is, E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. Am I correct to believe this error strongly indicates, or rather confirms, the internal SD is damaged?
Also, what are the possible causes (physical, and or, logical) that would damage the internal SD? Is it worth sending the device to an authorised Samsung service centre, for an appropriate repair process?

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.
@themes:since you are on stock you can download any launcher like go launcher from market and download themes from there
so, how can i install jb or ics themes on my phone, I just want theme not the whole rom. or is there any custom gingerbread rom(stable like stock rom) for installing jb themes..? :0

I have downloaded the frankenstain rom for flashing,But when I try to enter in recovery mode The screen fades and restarting normally. Is there any other settings for installing a rom..?
BTW when I opens the CWM in my menu it shows 'this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running on a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.' Is that the problem with the kernel i have rooted..?

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

Colud you take backup from your sd card and formatted again and put rom and recovery versions you have.and test again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12&nocache=1&z=1710748479235917
and follow
First of all, the phone is not bricked, obviously as long as it has a recovery and will turn on at all. As for a fix, try a seperate-file firmware flash, google "upgrade galaxy fit to 2.3.4", or something like that, also, try flashing a CWM recovery with ODIN, and just flash a CM7 ZIP or any other ROM, it will not be able to mount /system/ beucase the default samsung SYSTEM format is EFS, which CWM can not read, it can only read EXT file systems, soooo, install the recovery and a custom ROM, see what happens
Flash Froyo!
Hey there,I also suffered a lot sue to this ! Ultimately i flashed a froyo rom and everything was back to normal! :good:
@Enymous
Just ask ur friend what he did to the phone!!:sly:
Usb debugging needs to be enabled.
Next thing is:- Stop worrying!! Flash the same firmware version(if u remembered exactly) which came preinstalled from factory. It may b froyo or gingerbread. Download that particular firmware & note that if u were having froyo preinstalled & have downloaded the same exact firmware, then it must be a 4 package firmware(i.e. containing 4 files when u uncompress it). U can use Odin 4.42 & follow this sequence (even if u know) :
*Install Samsung mobile drivers on pc.
*Take out & reinsert battery.
*Press "HOME,POWER,VOLUME-DOWN" buttons together for download mode.
*Launch Odin 4.42 as administrator.
* Connect the phone to pc & wait till u see COM PORT mapping box turned yellow.
* Now set the files from the froyo package that u downloaded in exactly the same sequence as follows:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
BOOT: APBOOT_S5670.....tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_S5670.....tar.md5
PDA: CODE_S5670.....tar.md5
CSC: CSC_S5670.....tar.md5
Press start & wait till u see "PASSED"
Meanwhile ur phone will reboot.
Then it will b back to life(with froyo) guaranteed.
First try these steps!! I know it 100% works. coz I m used to all these issues.
Good Luck!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
I have a S duos 7562. I had rooted it earlier with CWM recovery and was working well.
Then I switched off USB debugging mode. Made Whats App system app through Lucky Patcher and rebooted. Then again made Facebook, ChipChain (game) and Times of India App to System App without booting again and again.
Rebooted and my phone got stuck at Samsung logo. Waited for half an hour but no result.
Then applied Resen/Factory setting and rebooted but no result.
Then started Odin and applied stuck recovery and rebooted but no result.
Then Wiped Cache Data and rebutted but again stuck.
Again started odin and applied recovery and rebooted and again stuck.
Then tried to unzip which is available in my SD card but no CWM available and got some failure notice in RED.
I am not able do anything. Please help me to come out of it.
I had backed Up all data in SD card. Titanium Back Up was installed and had backed up some apps and data. And backed up some important data by Kies.
I don't know what to do !!:crying:

Is there any good reason to convert these apps to system?????????????????????????????
Factory reset will reset DATA (user apps) but not SYSTEM. The only way is to install TWRP, delete the converted apps via TWRP recovery file manager OR flashing a full stock firmware via ODIN.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Start TWRP and select "advanced" --> "file manager" . Navigate to your system apps folder and delete the converted apps. Then perform a factory reset again
Here are the firmware files for your phone. Official release is Android 4.0.4. Just flash the downloaded file via ODIN. You need to pick the right "region" for your phone.
How to start TWRP ?
