[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conradical314:
Can I use Heimdall to boot my phone into recovery mode?

EDIT:

Pretty sure I can't do that now. I've had a look through the heimdall commands now (ie read the help text from the command line). So far I'm looking for something that I can use with the flash command, to either get me back running factory, or allowing me to get into recovery mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821698 this was promising, to use Heimdall to get back the 3-button recovery mode, but the links are dead.

You can use any Odin, look under Recovery kits on My android collections for guides and kits that will get you to a working Gingerbread 2.3.6, You need to do this before you try for CM and Quick Fixes and Solutions link below have guides for Recovery and Download mode problems

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conradical314:
yeah but... the links inside. I'm not game to just try to download files that I think are the same

now something seems to have broken the tenuous driver situation I had going on. I got the files for EzOdin in your guides, but it doesn't pick up the phone. Neither does heimdall, even though it used to
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conradical314:
alright, I'm done!

In the end, here were my problems:

Flashing Clockwork Mod 'bricked' the phone putting it into a boot loop. This was because I was meant to be on 2.3, but I was on 2.1 (I think).

I couldn't easily escape boot loop, because this version of the Galaxy S didn't have the 3 button method to enter recovery or download mode. This is somewhat common, especially in Australia from what I've seen. I had to enter into download mode by using the usb jig where you connect a 301k ohm resistor between pins 4 and 5 of the usb port.

It took me a loooong time to progress from here, but I think the main cause of this was usb drivers. I think for most people it will be plug and play though. The thing that got me there in the end was the right combination of uninstalling, and using the driver tool with the Heimdall suite.

I ended up having to install another rom via another method, to give me access to recovery mode, so that I could then install CM 9.1. I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991792, and had to get the files from ,https://www.dropbox.com/s/d382m2kyorzum16/ezbase recovery kit gb.zip (hopefully that's still up for future readers)

Then from download mode again, I had to redo the kernel flash using Heimdall, as described http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide.

I had problems here where I thought I was on clockwork mod but wasn't, and hence the packages were read as invalid (I guess it was expecting a Samsung/Optus one). But with that kernel flash, now that I was [*actually*] on Clockwork Mod, the Cyanogen Mod zip was recognised properly and it installed :)

Hope this helps future readers, and thanks for the help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bls2633:
I need some help trying to figure out why I cannot do anything really anymore in recovery, I was running darkside rom and switched over to Mind Trick. After a successful flash I attempted to back up the new rom before I started adding on apps and add ons that are posted in the OP, While trying to do the back up it just hangs now, it will get a certain point (usually checking ms5 or whatever it is) and wont go any further, the same happens when I try to install any zip from recovery, it will say installing whatever i try, but it just hangs there and never installs anything. I have tried to flash the touch recovery but have no luck with that either. Also, if I try to restore from backup it just hangs or fails so I am kinda stuck where I am .Another thing I noticed is my reception has gone down, I did not flash any radio before the rom as I had to with Darkside because it did not say to in the OP so Im wondering if that has anything to do with the poor reception. People have told me that when they try to call my phone they just a busy signal but all the text messages seem to come through fine and I have good data speeds, I am kinda stuck on this one, I usually figure out the solution but this time Im really stumped. I would appreciate any help or ideas you may have and I will be sure to thank you. Thanks. :confused:

It flashed that rom ok but now I am seeing the results of not figuring out what my problem was back then i guess. I appreciate your help. Thank you
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desert G-TABLET:
All,

I have to say thanks for the help in advance, well I'm in the military and I have never done anything to my G-tablet. All I used it for was to OOVOO and talk with my kids when I am in the DESERT Guys over there are always doing crazy stuff to theirs and crazy stuff always happens to them, some good some bad. :cyclops: Well here it goes my brother-in-law took my tablet without my knowledge and decided he would upgrade me to a better system :crying::crying::crying::crying: well he killed it!!!!!!! and I leave to go back to the desert in a week or so. He says something must of been wrong with it before he touched it, yeah likely story!!! it worked fine when I used it last. I have to say I have little knowledge on how to do things to this tablet IE rooting roms and all of that stuff, not saying I'm not willing to learn just very dumb when it comes to doing it. I'm one of those give it to me step by step by step

So this is what I have done so far

1. I plug it in to my Computer Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit system and it does not recognize it.

2. I opened it up and have disconnected the internal battery cord and plugged it back in still no life

3. I pressed the little white button and no reset happened

4. Held down the power button and down sound button and (3 birds ViewSonic - Detect a recovery key pressed - Booting recovery kernel image) popped up then nothing it just sits like that.

5. I have also let the battery completely drain to zero then charge it back up and still nothing.

Please help me and I'm sorry if I've been rambling on but talking to my kids when I'm deployed is the only thing I look forward to doing when I'm in the desert, Once again I would like to thank the smart guys on this forum for helping us not sooooo smart ones with our problems.

1.- Try other windows version, works fine on Windows 7 x32 / x64 - tested my self

3.- wich white reset button? i never saw it O.o!

4.- You tried POWER+VOLUME (+)? - POWER+VOLUME(-)?(this its for nvflash as far i know, im also a begginer)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redeyedjedi:
Your tab is not dead, but it is not properly flashed either. If you hold power and Vol UP and it shows booting recovery but doesnt boot it, then there is a bad recovery flashed, or none at all. To fix this, you will have to NVFLASH a recovery/OS on it. There are better than stock OS's but since you need it for webchating with family I would suggest Frankentab.

Download this file:

http://teamdrh.com/DRH-Downloads/Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch.zip

Then extract it somewhere you can find it.

Using a usb Male to usb mini cable, the one that came with your tablet, plug your tab into your computer (tab turned off)

Hold down the VOL DOWN button and press power button and hold it too. The three birds should pop up, then go away, black screen.

After black screen, computer will say found new hardware. You must manually choose the drivers needed, and their location will be in a folder titled "flash usb drivers" and it is inside the folder you downloaded and extracted.

After the drivers are installed, without turning anything off, run the file nvflash_gtablet.bat which is inside the extracted folder you downloaded. This will take a while, but once it is done, you can turn off and turn back on your tablet. After a few minutes, it should completely boot back into a stock ROM.

If you are cool with this, then you are done. If you would like to run something MUCH FASTER then let me know when you get to this point and I will show you how to accomplish this. If you run into any problems report back and I or someone will help.

Just had this problem on a new (well refurbished) gTab I got during black Friday. Works great and is not hard to fix the issue once in APX. hardest part was getting the drivers installed (running win 7 x64).

I had to go to the CWM page to download the correct version of the recovery, the version listed in the guide is outdated, or not listed that it is for 1.1 only and not 1.2.

Seems like a great tablet, can't wait to get using it. Thanks!
