wait. what are you flashing in odin? please odin to raver's kc1.

you should not boot back into cwm recovery. once it goes to samsung recovery, just select reboot normally and let the rom load.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
Used this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978836. I didn't boot back into cwm recovery, it was Samsung recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Great, so just reboot from the recovery and you should be ok
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
Nope, still gets stuck at the start-up screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Try to factory restore and wipe cache from the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
Will wiping cache delete apps and contacts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
that data is already lost unless it was backed up or synced to google. you can do those two things from the samsung recovery. hopefully that will help. once you odin it should wipe everything on the phone. idk why you cant get the OS booted once you successfully odin. but we'll get it. lol. what rom are you coming from again?

notes: make sure you are using odin 1.7. i personally think it works better than 1.85. make sure your sd and sim are still out. make sure all 4 or 5 files from kc1 are put in the right place. USE KC1, not KB5 for this.

if none of the above works...lets try a different approach. once you odin kc1 and its boots recovery, unplug the phone, pull the battery. let it site for a few min. while it sits, dl the odin file for bali. put the phone back in dl mode. odin bali. then boot into the red recovery. once you do this, try flashing bionix frost.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
I've made titanium backups in the past. I'm not sure what you mean by what ROM I'm coming from. You mean the default on my phone?

Yep, using 1.7. Check and check. Check. I'll make sure I use KC1 when I try again. I'll keep you updated. Thanks so much for your help so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NomNuggetNom:
YES! That worked, thank you so much! If only I weren't limited to five likes :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Your welcome! :) I love bionix frost. Try the Ext4 converter. Icbinb kh2 init.d tweaks. 3.1 fugu. oc@1.3. Swype 3 beta. its so nice!

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyusza:
Hey!

I was wondering, did anyone have this problem? After a few days of using it, my SE x8 is unable to recieve calls. A reboot solves it for little time, but it always happens again.

I'm on GingerDX v011, all the requirements are met (xrecovery AND cwm recovery, tried both, correct baseband as well).

It did this, while i was on v009, did a fresh reinstall with v011 and here it goes again.

I'm thinking about going back to the original firmaware, but its a hassle, so i was wondering if anyone had this problem before!

thanks in advance!

For example, cruft remaining in /sdcard after a return to stock using the "ultimate unbrick" approach can cause the market to go nuts unless you do a factory wipe in Settings.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rodimus_prime:
did a factory reset that seemed to have fixed it, the lousy serendipity rom screwed up the phone royally
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
There are a handful of people running that rom without any issue...

unfortunately you failed to provide any real details of what was going on, so it was impossible to give you any help

I have had some issues with google authentication...it usually happens when one fails to wipe everything before installing a new rom or by restoring system data with tb.

Typically it can be solved by clearing cache for google framework services , rebooting and then logging into youtube.

So, by factory reset...you are still on Serendipity then right? A factory reset deletes user data, not the rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Hi there,

I noticed I can't get in download mode anymore. Whatever I try it won't show the yellow triangular download sign. It just boots into cyanogen.

I have tried the 3 button trick but recovery nor download works. That's when I had the idea to apply the 3-button fix. adb reboot recovery brings me in the cwm recovery mode. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I even tried the 300k ohm jig which always seemed to work as a failsafe. That also just boots the phone into cm.

I have checked with my brother who also runs CM nightly 101 and for him the download mode works fine so it is my phone, not CM.

The phone works fine now, is rooted too so I wondered if there's any way to fix this by rewriting the bootloaders. I want to have this fixed as a failsafe is flashing ever fails or if one of the nightlies gets corrupted.

Is there anyone who can confirm the download mode is in the primary bootloader (boot.bin from a stock rom) and is it safe to just flash_image that to the boot partition or will that be a guarantee to brick. The idea is that I still have root console access so I have to fix it from there.

Any help is appreciated.

Their is a chance that whenever u tried to go into download mode your phone was connected into charging and phone doesn't go into download mode when charging , please reply and tell Me that did I helped!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Tried the tricks with and without pc-usb/charger and it made no difference. The 300k ohm jig trick can't be done with power or computer connected since you have to use the usb connection on the phone for it. It usually was my ever working failsafe.

I also tried the quickboot app without any luck. It seems it is responding to the download command but the code isn't there anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Hey try going into download mode by touch controls although I haven't ever used cyanogen but i assume as every custom rom has this feature cyanogen must also have this! The download mode option in quick network options when u press the power button for 2 seconds ! Although it isn't safe but you cab try this and then if it goes into download mode then their must a way to go into download mode manually!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Holding the power button for two seconds indeed brings up the profile/reboot/shutdown options. Selecting reboot only gives two additional options, reboot and recovery which do as they say. I can boot cwm recovery but from there I can't go into download mode either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
Try downloading terminal emulator and then reboot download or ADB reboot download
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Tried it from the terminal with reboot download. Also tried adb reboot download long before that. It just reboots and starts. I have the feeling the piece of bootblock that's holding the download mode isn't there anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
There is an option in recovery to boot into download mode, Have you tried that ?

It sounds to me like that part of the bootloader is corrupt / missing.

Does the phone still work normally ? can you still continue to use it daily without the download mode option ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
The phone works fine otherwise. I just want to fix this before it stops working fine and I need the download mode.

Recovery boots into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5 which I got with CM7 with no option to return to the stock recovery or download mode as far as I can see. Also zipped updates from sd-card install fine from CWM recovery mode. If I just knew where to find a cwm ready zipped bootloader that will fix this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Thats a good idea, I think that should be made, Would save a lot of hassle...

In my recovery under 'advanced features' the option is there to reboot into android or reboot into download..

In order to go from CM7 - Stock, do you need re-partition with all 3 files ? or can you flash it through recovery ?

If so, flash it to stock and sell it to someone who has no idea about Custom ROMs / Hacking. (like me 12 months ago :D)

EDIT: is this issue not kernel related by any chance ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Well I have no clue to make any package and I don't dare to flash_image some random boot.bin.

My recovery -> advanced only has reboot recovery which brings it back into recovery.

I'm afraid bringing it back to stock also needs odin/heimdall, that brings me back to the initial problem.

Selling it gives me the money for half a new phone. As long as its working fine I'd like to stick with it. My worst case scenario so far is that I'm stuck with CM7 nightly #101 for the coming 1.5 year which is annoying but far better than the slow stock samsung hands out.

The issue can't be directly kernel or CM7 related. My brother has CM7 #101 running and download mode works fine with him. (And no I can't secretly swap phones :D) He doesn't know how to work with odin so I arranged everything for him. Exactly the same steps as I did my own phone. Perhaps a glitch in flashing or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Hmmm... tricky one to fix..

I have no more ideas :( i think flashing bootloaders through recovery would work like you said, But unless its a tried and tested method i wouldnt recommend it at all.

Have you posted this issue in the CM thread ? perhaps you could PM one of the Devs for assistance, or whether the whole 'flashing bootloader in recovery' idea would work at all.

You have nothing to lose by asking them.

Hope you get a solution... But until them im out of ideas.

Keep us updated if you get a fix.

Good luck man !!

EDIT: one more idea, Sounds risky but.... What if you made a nandroid backup on your brothers phone and restore it on yours ?? Thats if nandroid does back up bootloaders im not sure :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Thanks for thinking with me. I'll give the nandroid solution a go if there are no other replies within a reasonable time.

I'll post the same question in the CM forum but contacting the CM devs could be hard. They don't give any official support to nightlies and I can't say I'm convinced it has anything to do with CM at all. Though they do have the knowledge to answer the question or build a package to repair it. But you're right there's nothing to lose in asking.

Ofcourse I searched the forum before posting and found out I seem to be the only one ever with this problem. The solution could be as rare so I'll keep you posted if I make any progress beside here. That's what the whole idea behind this forum is for right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
True man !!

And if you get a solution or a dev to make a flashable bootloader. It could help other people in future

Good luck. Keep us posted

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
Finally a breakthrough!

Posting this issue on the cyanogen forum got me some useful feedback.

Cyanogen does not support adb or console download mode. Its three button or jig only.

Seemed my three button was broken and so was the jig after some testing.

Eventually I got into download mode with a new jig.

Trying to fix the three button mode I flashed SBL and the phone went dark, never to come back again. It did not respond to any button or jig. After some extensive googling I found out SBL seems to contain the download mode so there was no way back.

Last resort was JTAG but since the equipment costs as much as a second hand phone I decided to try my luck within the last week of my guarantee period.

My phone is now in repair and I'm waiting for the return, with or without bill.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvdveer:
[CLOSED]

Eventually got the phone back. They did a level 3 repair, that means soldering new parts where needed.

Probably poking around with the JIG ruined some voltage regulators. I'm not into electronics but here's what they fixed:

A/S ASSY-PBA MAIN(COMM)GT-I9000/ALT 9039479

HEADER-BOARD TO BOARD

IC-POWER SUPERVISORWAVE

SCREW-MACHINE

With that I conclude the failure was hardware related and not fixable by any means of flashing or recovering the do it yourself way.

Oh and it all was within guarantee. Got it back with stock rom.

Ofcourse within a week I was on CM again.

[HTC EVO 3D] techspec06:
Maybe by raising the ETF, they will reduce their losses regarding those that are taking advantage of the system. Hopefully, they'll pass some of those savings onto us or invest them into their network infrastructure. I was hoping that they'd upgrade their infrastructure with the $10 per month premium data fees but haven't seen it in my area.

My girlfriend got the HTC Hero less than a month before it was discontinued. There have been some updates that have bogged her phone down fiercely. Especially the newer updates to google maps. Her navigation wouldn't last more than a few minutes before FC'n. I was able to cancel her contract and get her a new phone for a reasonable amount of cash.

I would hope that they do not slap a static higher ETF on every phone and instead look at each phone individually. It wouldn't have been reasonable for her to have had anything more than a $200 ETF on her phone. Although I'm surprised that our Evo 3D's don't have a higher ETF and wouldn't be upset if they were.

The 30 day sprint guarantee is a great program and should be adequate time to know whether you want to be locked into a contract with them or not so the ETF is usually a non-issue with typical subscribers.

And as for not caring what the ETF is... I guess you guys weren't with AT&T when they got the Iphone. I was locked in my contract for another year and my bandwidth was horrid. It wasn't until Verizon got the iphone that they bothered to upgrade their network with all that iphone money they had been collecting for years. You never know how sprint service in your area may change in the future.
