[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
please do some research firston how flashing is done on Odin, look at various flashing guides in My Guides and Manuals, you should not, do things only knowing bits and pieces of a process, although its your own responsibility as to what you do with your phone, I sure don't want to be involved , if you are are not more than 110% sure as to what and how to do things.

attached an image from Ramad Firmware thread http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/4609/odinpit.jpg , just to give you an Idea ...you only Repartition phone with 512 PIT and do not repartition when using 803 Pit, ( meaning you have to untick item 2, when using 803 PIT)

also ensure you have more than 50% battery charge, never use Odin by reseting , restart odin, if you made mistake, and NEVER interrupt the process , and

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

Excellent instructions - but I get ERROR: Claiming Interface failed. Using a MAC 10.7.5 and SIM and ext SD are out. Suggestions please.

Uninstalled Kies and now get as far as Handshaking with Loke...

Wrong kernel or something

My phone is a samsung sgh959D. Now I don't know how to tell if that is galaxy s i9000 or a fascinate; I usually go with fascinate. Yes, I'm a noob moving on. I had recently rooted it using superoneclickroot and after that, I tried putting cwm recovery on it because I was planning on flashing a jelly bean rom on it. I used odin for that process; odin showed that it failed after I had followed the instructions. I powered off and unplugged the device then it started to show me the 'phone + ! + comp' symbol. Somehow I fixed that using some tuts, but now when ever I turn it on, it shows

(first thing you see), then it switches to a new screen and shows

. And that it where is stays and no further than that. It can still go into download mode and recovery mode (somehow CWM recovery is also installed in it now), however when I tried the odin recovery method here odin is not able to recognise the device in download mode so it never shows a yellow bar when I plug in the device to my computer.

Please help me

HI daenney,

Big thumbs up, guys follow what daenney has written and yo will have no issues. There is alot of fluff on the net took 2 days before I found this post and resolved the issue.

FYI - I swapped out a couple of packages used 'heimdall_v1.4rc1_win32' with 'cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd' this worked great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hasolo:
Excellent guide :good:

Could have saved me a lot of work if I found the thread earlier.

I like the way you integrate things into "one" image, thereafter you're prepared for a one click unbrick.

My usual way was: usb-jig, flash 2.3.6 with heimdall (linux), reboot, flash cfroot kernel with heimdall, reboot, flash CM 10.x from cwm recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cerberusxda:
Great guide,

I a horrible phone though, it was a give away from someone but i seriously have no idea what's wrong with it.

Running the root image sometimes ends me up in a boot loop right from the get go, if it doesn't and i flash CM9.1 a couple of times it randomly goes into a boot loop after rebooting a couple of times. Trying to go into CWM often gives an initial load loop (Keeps restarting before the S logo), i've had weird loops that show a phone a triangle with a ! and a computer which means error connecting to comp i assume but it loops, if i re-heimdal and try to install CM9,1 again it errors at the CWM 6 update and keeps looping with errors...

It errors out on wipe/reset factory defaults and cache on the automatic package update from the root kernel by default so that seems to be incompatible aswell and alot more goodies like that.

Anyway i finally gave up after reinstalling CM9 10 times and went with the standard heimdall gingerbread image from the original pack and it works perfectly except for the fact that it doesn't connect to 3G etc. networks... wifi works just fine and so does the rest...

It's a european model (netherlands) seems to be from T-mobile, i'm pretty much lost and it's not the first phone i rooted and ran custom firmware on but seriously this is one horrible model, I'm clueless.

Help please, i'm fine with just the normal heimdal thing, it's not for me anyway :P

What struck me as odd aswell is that there's an extra partition named /datadata... never seen that before.. almost looks like someone accidently repartitioned it or something and screwed up (like i said it was a freebie so i have no idea who else tinkered with it).

Edit: Fixed the modem problem, seems like it had a problem connecting to the towers, suddenly started working after tinkering with the settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Senthurpandian.r:
Hi,

From GB to JB you asked to flash CM9.1.0.

Should we reboot the system after installation or,

From GB, go to recover, install CM9.1.0, immediately install CM10.1?

Thanks for the guide
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konstantin.schubert:
There isn't an install in there either.

I downloaded it from "My Android Collections", but I still can't find an installer in the zip. Can anybody please explain how the process in the original post should be modified to work with the heimdall-suites without installer. Or can anyone provide a download link that actually refers to something downloadable?

After not getting odin recognising my phone i tried it with heimdall (on ubunutu and windows 8)

on win8: heimdall didn't recognize the device either (also zadig.exe won't work, it says the install of the driver won't complete, don't know why)

on ubunut: well, i get following text and it won't work either :(

Anyone any idea?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sandman303:
:confused:

If I hit "reboot system now" it comes up with the Galaxy S logo, then switches off, then repeats itself, the only way to stop it is to take the battery out. I can still access both recovery and download mode at this stage.

I bought this phone cheap off someone who had installed a custom ROM which had messed the phone. I am trying to get it working again, but I think I may only have made it worse :eek:. The phone is not recognizing any SDcard, or its own internal memory. When the phone was working, if you went into settings under memory it said "Internal: 0.00B free of 0.00B" and even though there was an SDcard in it, it said "Please insert SD card"

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Ok so heres the solution download odin 1.82 download a firmware that contains csc, phone, pda then open odin put the filea in and make sure repartion is uncheaked and wola phone is back to life.......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] antman3351:
I had the same problem with the unable to mount error message and continually looping S logo.

I fixed it using the "i9000 Rescue Rescue Kit for i9000 using heimdall packed by ldq" in xsenman list (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775) Thanks ;) !

Ow I didn't use the bat file or the 1click java file, I used heimdall under Linux with the command

It fixed it Thanks ;)

P.S I tried a few roms/ repair kits before this one, so if this doesn't work keep trying ;)

Hi, I am using Mac, I hope that this is not the problem. I have followed your steps but at step three terminal returns with that it can’t find any compatible download-mode device.

I am not allowed to past text as I am a new user so I can’t send you a detailed post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] choclo:
Hi!

Am new to this forum but would like to add a little something I found helpful when flashing my phone that I saw somewhere but now I can't find the bookmark.

Anyways, I found that to flash successfully I needed to download the PIT (using heimdall-frontend because this seemed easier but the cmd line hemdall will d/l the PIT fine) of my device and used this to copy and paste to the heimdall command line posted on the front page of this thread.

So in accordance with what my pit said the partitions were called my output was as follows

sudo heimdall flash --IBL+PBL boot.bin --CACHE cache.rfs --FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs --DBDATAFS dbdata.rfs --MODEM modem.bin --PARAM param.lfs --SBL Sbl.bin --SBL2 Sbl.bin --KERNEL zImage

Hope this helps as I observed that some of you were having trouble, specifically with the IBL+PBL part of the flash. I found copying and pasting this directly from the PIT worked perfectly and I had access to CM Recovery.

I was trying to flash back to stock rom and the flash failed.. I can start download mode, but it wont download no matter what.

I remember resurrecting this phone before with unbrickable ressurector, but I didnt have any hardware mod by then... so is it still possible? When I did resurrect this phone.. it didnt even boot.

No I can activate download mode... but it's not working anyway.

sorry, i know the post is old, but maybe somebody can help me the situation with my phone is that it doesn't iniciate, it stucks in the first screen "samsung galaxy s - gti9000" so, i tried basically all of the situations above without any succes. the biggest trick, that i don't get: my phone does not get into recovery mode, but it does in the downloading mode. however, the heimdall doesn't recognize it, everything i try to do on it, i get the same message: "can't get coneccted with device" or something like that. i tried all the recover kits i could find and nothing... do you guys have some light uppon it? or should I sell the parts already and give up?

can you please share procedure with links?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Acedia:
Hey I don't really remember what I did as it's been like 10 years haha but I'll give my best guess for what would work in 2023:

1) First thing we need to do is get CWM recovery in order to install a custom ROM - Easiest way will be installing this kernel which has CWM included. You just need to download the file, put your phone in download mode and install it through Odin - more detailed instructions are also included in the post.

2) After that, you can install Cyanogenmod 10.1, which is a custom ROM that will replace your (presumably) broken current stock ROM. This link seems to have a working download for the i9000, and instructions as well. The hard part will be getting the ROM file onto your phone to flash it, the website does have instructions for that but let me know if you need help figuring that out.

I can't 100% guarantee any of this will work as I don't have the means to test it out right now, but I hope it helped x
[HTC One X] Turbo D:
Hello Members,

Maybe someone can help me:

2 Months ago i installed Market Access because I wanted to use Google Wallet (not available in germany).

If i search for Android Updates (now using 4.0.3) the phone says yes there is a update but if i download the updatefile and try to install, phone says "wrong update file, installation aborted".

Could it be that Market Access also affects which Updatefiles are downloaded???

If yes, is there any possibilty to switch back to normal?

I already deleted Market Access, but the problem still exists...

Thanks in advance!
