Recover a soft bricked I9003 Galaxy SL

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.

NB: I bricked my GT-i9003 v.3.2.6... I just follow the guide and read the xda members how to 3/4 times. ANd i dont get any problems at all... Oh my OS version downgrade from Gingerbread 3.6 to Froyo 2.2 .

Download mode working, device not boot, the screen turns on and off for a second
I flash I9003XEKB1 and device boot!
Thanks!!

Thanks...! Really helped me!

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?

i9003 dead
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.

I cant instal cwm on my phone i9105

Hi ..
pleas help me to instal cwm in my phone i9105 , i use odin v 3.7 and instal CWMtouch-i9105_chotu.tar and finish is ok and restart phone ,
put when i go into cwm mod no change can you help me to root my phone ????

In Odin when flashing CWM, untick auto-reboot, when Odin is done flashing, it will not exit download mode, it will say something like RQT_CLOSE... Which means that you may know pull out the battery, and put it back in, then try to boot into recovery.

The problem is, that when you boot Android it overwrites CWM with the standard recovery. Here's what I did to stop that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42000557&postcount=91

I have those steps, but unfortunately, the same problem ???
Any there steps ???

Try to install This one http://d-h.st/oKe thanks to k2wl. This is same just download put to odin and flash Done!

oubwers that
also be sure to Press "Volume Up + Home + Power" until CWM appears, badly i saw somewhere to push Volume Down instead of Up...

[Q] Phone Stuck In Error Screen

My Phone (Obviously T769) is stuck in the Download mode saying
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried that, Kies does not detect my phone in this mode. (I think. may be wrong)
What I did that got me up to here:
Tried to reflash to stock using Odin since my ROM was damaged.
Loads the PIT and TAR
Goes into download mode
Starts.
IT FAILS.
I try to just go back to android.
End up wid dis screen.

EDIT:Fixed this by flashing AGAIN with Odin.
NOW IM IN A MOTHER
FREAKING
BOOTLOOP. (I did uncheck re-partition)(ALSO, I cannot enter download mode. Does not work for whatsoever reason.)
If anyone can help this, that would be nice

Boot to the recovery and factory reset.
If still no go, use Odin to flash cwm and boot to it and do a factory reset, wipe cache, and davlik cache.
And again, if it still wont boot get into cwm again and do a full wipe (all of the previous wipes and format /system), then rerun Odin to flash the stock firmware.

I didn't see your edit down there.
To get in into the recovery, with the phone off, hold both the volume up and down (the whole rocker) and the power button until you see the recovery.

The phone just keeps to vibrate nonstop as I keep doing that. (Entering recovery mode) it doesnt seem to work.
Should I try ADB to force it into download mode? (If so, HALP? )
EDIT AGAIN: Im a ****ing idiot, I forghot to put the USB so I didnt go into download mode.
NOW when I try to flash something with Odin, it just detects but thenI start the process, it tells me it failed and then its not detected. . Using 1.8.5 by K0nane

You have to release the power button when the samsung logo appears. It should enter recovery then.

Are u using stock rom or monster$ rom
If yes than go to system/etc
And delete install-recovery.sh
If there is no such file then just leave it[tat install-recovery. Sh is already been deleted in monster$ rom if u find it then just delete it]
Don't use any app too flash zip
Like rebooter, rom manager
Go to recovery manually don't use any app to boot to recovery
Btw I never stuck on cwm

Why So Serious?!

Thanks for the help friends.Problem resolved.Actually I had flashed Onkar's rom after reading the suggestion given above.But it did not work.Then I flashed the stock recovery through odin.But phone got stuck at samsung core logo and never go forward.At last I had to flash the latest stock firmware and it worked.
I am still confused,why the phone got stuck in Cwm.I had never experienced such things with my earlier phone.

1- go to download mode manuly
2 - reflash cwm with odoin

Sir, dont know how to go to the download mode manually & my phone is also not connecting to my lappy. ???????

This will solve your problem.....xD
Just follow this method ...
1. Download and Put this attached file in external SD
2. Install this zip using CWM recovery..
3. Turn off your mobile through CWM advanced menu or by pulling out battery..
4. now enter into bootloader mode using ( vol down+menu+power )
5. Reinstall CWM recovery using Odin.. ( don't worry this you will be connected to Odin trust me....)
6. Install new Roms or ignore it if you dont want...
All the best.........xD
Please note that this problem comes most from force recovary restart by any apps......so enter into CWM through buttons is safe .

Try mounting system it helped for me. If it has not helped, flash stock revovery using odin and remember NEVER reboot to recovery on core using any app script. Flash cwm again after you roll back to stock recovery and use three button combo first hold vol up then home and then power button and hold it till the heptic feedback (vibration continues) and to enter download mode or we say bootloader mode for odin just hold vok down key insted vol up key.

I think you are using volume up+power+home buttons that will take you to recovery mode..
try using power down+power+home buttons.

I have updated my posts..... Now people who are stuck in cwm recovery will have no problem
Sent from my GT-I8262 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

hi guys
I'm stuck at download mode. Odin does not recognize the phone, but the computer does. drivers are properly installed.
I have i8262. I rooted the phone with framaroot. When I got stuck into recovery I installed CWM_De_Loaper.zip.
Now I'm stuck to download mode and Odin does not see the phone. No recovery no nothing.
I have to say that since the first time I got the phone everything goes wrong. I gave it to support and they flashed stock rom already one time. I couldn't do it because Odin does not recognize the device (while drivers are properly installed).
I don't know if I missed anything. I'm desperate. HELP.
Thanks

Well, I have sorted it out. I'm not sure what the problem was though...
It worked on another computer. Drivers are properly installed to both of them. KIES is not installed on the computer that didn't work and I suspect USB problems as well.
I cannot be sure of the nature of the problem...
Thanks anyway

Same problem Bro

Just follow this method ...
1. Download and Put this attached file in external SD
2. Install this zip using CWM recovery..
3. Turn off your mobile through CWM advanced menu or by pulling out battery..
4. now enter into bootloader mode using ( vol down+menu+power )
5. Reinstall CWM recovery using Odin.. ( don't worry this you will be connected to Odin trust me....)
6. Install new Roms or ignore it if you dont want...
All the best.........xD
Please note that this problem comes most from force recovary restart by any apps......so enter into CWM through buttons is safe .

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M keeps rebooting

Here's my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M that keeps rebooting after trying to install a custom recovery so that I can root it.
What I did
I followed the steps (1 to 11), of Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S mentioned in the following page:
wiki,cyanogenmod,org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
After that, I simply unplugged the usb, there were no errors, and removed the battery and now what I get is the simply that my device reboots after the boot logo. IF I hold down volume + home + power I can boot in download mode. However, I cannot boot in recovery or in normal mode !
Here's a video of what it is doing youtube,com/watch?v=Wie9eZYyECw
What I have tried
Removing the battery and reboot the cellphone
I tried to redo step 7, heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot, but I still got the same error

If that doesn't work, can I return to the default recovery (if that exist) and if yes, how can I do that ?

Ok ok. I have two questions for that, first, do you know where I can find the stock rom. And secondly, can I do that via download mode since it is the only thing I can access ?

Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file

Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

Thank you for that ! I have one question, I have plugged my phone in my computer, however, Odin does not detect it. My phone is recognized as Gadget Serial, do I have to do somehting so that my phone will be recognized ? I have tried to install the following drivers without success ! forum,xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956

Forget this I had to remove the previous driver !
