[Q] I9003 would not get past 'Samsung boot logo' - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hello mates, I have a I9003 which would not get past the 'Samsung' boot logo. I already tried flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com but still the problem persists.
Tried PIT+BOOTLOADER+MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
PIT+PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
ONLY PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
Nothing works, it is still stuck. I cannot wipe data/factory reset since I can't access stock recovery. Though going to download mode is not a problem.
Any fix for this? Or should I flash another stock ROM?

Try without sim card and flash cf root after full ddlf.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Free mobile app

I have made some progress, I think. While after flashing CF-Root for DDLF2 after clean installing it, I've waited for the phone to boot.
Now, it booted to the same Samsung I9003 boot animation, but after a while, I think it booted into recovery and started to wipe/install, though I'm not sure because the texts were going fast.
One thing I remembered was something with unable to mount /data among others. I saw other yellow texts, and also red texts, which seems to be errors (since I've used a CWM with other phones a couple of times).
After that, it got stuck to like a loading icon, like what you see when a video is buffering in Youtube, then reboots after a while to a stuck Samsung I9003 boot animation again.
Please help me mates, would be highly appreciated.

The thing is, I cannot boot to recovery mode with the 3 button combo. Only download mode mate.
Is there anything that I could flash in Odin that would reboot the phone to recovery mode?

Try flashing BCK CF-root universal. I think there was a beta 15rc7 version somewhere in the BAM kernel thread. It does include a recovery.
Only for GB ROMs, not Kitkat/JB ones.

I actually did that earlier, but the thing is as I've said is that I cannot boot to recovery with the 3-button combo. What I was hoping for is a file or kernel or anything that would automatically reboot the phone to 'recovery mode' after flashing it through Odin.

ADB wont work from download mode.
I'm sure you've tried this before, but can you try flashing complete ddlf2 package from here.
This has never failed me, yet. It's my fallback if everything else doesn't work.
All the best

I'll try in a bit after DLing the package. Should I flash this several times to work? Should I flash once with PIT and BL, then just CSC, PHONE, and MODEM?

Flash all 5 at the same time. See the snapshot shown in that thread.
Also, try a different odin version (i think 1.85 worked best for me) if it fails.

Flashed it and it actually booted to recovery mode. I'll list some of the errors that arose:
E:/format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Data wipe failed
Also tried the 'apply update from sdcard', and shows:
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
Now I'll try to flash CWM to it and hopefully boots to recovery again and flash a custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Well, I think another progress has been made, after flashing the DDLF2 firmware again, I waited for about 7 minutes and it got past the Samsung I9003 boot logo, and it goes to the Samsung boot animation, and after that, stuck at a boot loop.

So maybe the internal mmc is corrupted. I'm not sure one to follow but definitely not the one with the wonder go program since how can I enable USB debugging if it won't even boot. Should I try to flash DDLF2 with inserting a microSD card? Or should I remove the internal mmc, which I've read in another thread was kind of successful but a little hazardous.

Try to flash froyo 2.2 with pit. Logic is to reformat the structure of the memory.

I really appreciate the help mate. Would you refer me to a link for the 2.2 stock ROMs? As I only find GB firmwares, mostly old stock ROM links are down.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to get it into recovery? If so, do you have the Android software developer kit (SDK) installed? The SDK includes the adb binary. Download it, install it, then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, insure your phone is on & plugged in via USB, and issues the command: adb reboot recovery.
If I'm off-base with what you're trying to accomplish, my apologies.

Don't use a KFx rom, the KF1 and KF2 versions of Gingerbread were really buggy and will give you more trouble than they're worth. You're better off flashing Octane, Valhalla or ICBINB which get updated frequently.

Which also means that you need to flash a KG4 leak or newer for the proper GB bootloaders. If not, you'll get a rainbow screen.
Similar Problem
Hey Guys,
I had a similar problem. I am using Fire Expert to overwrite the new recovery to the \system\bin folder. However, I realized my mistake was that I did not mount as r/w. After I did that though and I held the volume up, down and power, I stay stuck at the initial splash screen and can't go into the stock recovery screen. I can't boot regularly either; I have to Odin recover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Overwriting the old recovery and putting the update.zip file on the sdcard for CWM Final was for Froyo ROMs only, not Gingerbread (GB) ones. What ROM are you currently on?
In order to get into recovery since flashing the GB boot loaders I have to:
Power off the phone
Hold down Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power button
When the Galaxy S screen comes on, wait a second, it'll get a tad bit brighter. When that happens let go of only the Power button
Wait a few seconds and you should be in recovery
Sounds like you might be a bit goofed at this point, though. If you were on GB before I'd suggest using one of the ROMs in bhundven's The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection. The last one in the list will also give you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix.
Hey. Thanks for the quick reply.
I am currently on Froyo, Kernal version 2.6.32.9.

Weird. All you should have to do is put the updated recovery in /system/bin & put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
What is the current state of the phone? I know in the previous post you said you would have to use ODIN to recover. Did you do that?
Yes I did use Odin to recover. I did it following the link provided in the sgs4g 10 commandments. This is the second time I recovered. After I recovered he first time, I tried the process again and the same thing happened: stuck at the initial splash screen.

Just wondering if your phone is currently working or not. I wasn't sure given that you reflashed with ODIN.
Yes everything is fine right now. Lucky all of my settings and apps were still there after following that tutorial.
Perhaps file expert doesn't work?

I've not used it but if it allows you to mount /system read/write, then it should work fine as long as you're putting the 'recovery' file in /system/bin & the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.
If you try it again then reboot into recovery, what happens?

Reboot into recovery and install a different rom.
I had this exact same thing on my daughter's Sidekick, where a custom kernel didn't want to boot the phone up.
I tried restoring the backup I had made; nothing. I factory reseted it; nothing.
Loaded up another rom (last ditch effort), and BAM, it went through.
So try rebooting into recovery and load another rom.

[Q] Phone Keeps On Reseting (Factory Reset) After Every Reboot?

I recently Flashed Kyrillios 9.0 and 9.6 and everytime I restart my Galaxy 3 it always Factory Resets, ie all the apps I had before are gone and all my desktop widgets are gone. Even worser is that it automatically turns on the 3G Internet connection which means I get charged £1 for no reason.
Also I wiped the Cache by accident after I flash 9.6 because I Flashed it separately (I flashed 9.0 first and i used it for a month then I decided to flash 9.6) so will I have to wipe the Dalvaik Cache aswell?
Try a clean flash of a stock rom. If it still happens then only solution is changing the motherboard. Look here:

Help - can't get into recovery!

I was running SkyICS on my SR i727 without any problem. Yesterday while rebooting the phone the phone froze. I tried to get into recovery to reflash it. Can't get into recovery!
Then I flashed the stock GB through ODIN (did that 2-3 times) Success, rooted, installed 2-3 versions of CWM recovery through ODIN. ODIN everytime shows success and the phone reboots without any problem BUT I can't get into recovery by any means. Tried all button combo, adb reboot recovery, quickboot apk. Most of the time the phone hangs at the Samsung logo. If it hangs a battery pull and I can boot into GB.
I even tried to flash the stock recovery and booting into it. Same problem
I mainly need a custom ROM or CWM to flash RAT unlocked radio so that I can switch 2G/3G.

How many different recoveries have you tried pushing with Odin? When you use Odin do you get the PASS followed be the automatic reboot? And last but not least (sorry if I missed it) what method are you using to boot into recovery

I've tried 3-4 different CWM.
Yes I always get the PASS screen followed by reboot.
I've tried different methos - 3 button combo, reboot recovery command under adb shell and quickboot apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423071). Same problem everytime. The phone shows a black screen after the samsung logo and nothing responds. Battery pool and I can boot into GB.

I don't have much knowledge about linux but I just tried running e2fsck on the recovery partition. I got the following output:
# e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab
file while determining whether /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 is mounted.
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p
22
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Can you try starting with the leaked Odin download for ICS ucle2 if I'm correct from there wait for a first full boot do not try to root right away. After try to restart the phone and hold up&down volume rocker with power and see if you get into that recovery first. If you cant even get into that recovery u really messed some issh up.
If you are able to get into that recovery wipe everything then reboot let the phone develope what it needs. then try to flash 1 of these 2 recoveries and see what happens.here are some links incase u done have these there to my dropbox.

But isn't the ICS 4.0.4 associated with hard bricks with some devices? My phone is usable now. It is running GB. Only problem is battery indicator which is always 100%.

[Q] Help using CWM!

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks
I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?
Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

CWM recovery and Stock Rom are totally different things.
To install a custom recovery you need a stock ROM installed first... Get it!?

Yes, I already knew, I tried to install CWM 5..
I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:
Help!
Thanks

Here you can get stock ROM :
http://terafile.co/64475c2f7787/S5670XXKPY_S5670SERKPY_SER.zip
Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Thanks... However I don't think the guy wants 6045 recovery, but 5 version.
Anyway, it seems we are more interested in this than he is, so... Happy flashing.

Ok, sorry, I forgot to give an update during the weekend (and sorry, I was interested... but I didn't have time to give the update ) :
1.- I wanted to get CWM 5 and I tried to reboot, but I got that bootloop (I anyways wanted the CWM 6.0.4.5 version because I heard it is better)
2.- I finally got the stock rom using Sammobile.
3.- I flashed the stock rom to get rid of that annoying bootloop.
4.- I got CWM 5 with Odin
6.- Updated CWM to the 6.0.4.5 version.
7.-I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.4 version
I actually was able to get into recovery mode, but the thing is that I didn't know how to get into it... lol
I am doing this as an experimet because I don't use the Fit as a phone, so... what should I do next?
Anyways; thank you all for your help, ahmetakin and johnny.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.
