[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Hi all,

Since our devices development keeps growing and growing the amount of questions about simple fixes is raising. I've made this "collected solution" thread to prevent these questions and to link all the new and senior users to here.

So lets begin:

- My Device keeps rebooting in recovery mode again and again

-- Follow this post over here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330

- Odin failed in flashing and I see a PC (!) PHONE on the screen on my phone

-- Your device is so called: "Soft Bricked" this means you can fix this by yourself. Try to get in to Download mode via the normal way. Or get a JIG (See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551 or here: http://dx.com/p/unbrick-download-30...msung-t959-i9000-i897-m110s-i8700-i9100-93514)

- How does it looks when my phone is softbricked? (le above problem)

-- Like this:

- My device is Soft bricked and I cant get it to work again are there more solutions?

-- Yes: there is one. You can read it below in the "SHOW"

Apparently there is one safe and working way to un-brick the GT-I9001. This procedure has been tested on a soft-bricked device with a stock unbranded ROM.

Download the WORKED2.rar package (mirror 1, mirror 2);

Download Odin Multi Downloader version 4.43;

After expanding the WORKED2.rar archive, press the OPS button and select the AriesVE.ops file from the uncompressed archive;

Mark the One Package option, press the One Package button on the bottom of the window and select the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-ariesve.tar.md5 file;

Put your device in Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power and plug it to your PC;

Make sure to have installed the correct drivers and the phone should be recognised by Odin (the top left rectangle becomes yellow) and press the Start button.

This process could take from 8 to 30 minutes to finish, with an average time of 15 minutes. After that you should have your device back with the same settings, applications and files you had before the brick. Moreover you should have installed a working version of the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Using an Odin ROM to fix your device:

If your device is still not working correctly after the steps described above. You should try to install a stock ROM and do a factory reset.

Comes from the Wiki ;)

- I've got no mobile data connection after a flash?

-- For this problem you can do several things:

Go into airplain mode for 15 minutes and turn it off again. Give it a shot now

Reboot your phone

Go to google > your carrier + APN data and put them in manually

- When I want to flash a Stock ROM via Odin it gets stuck at System.img.ext4

-- For this solution I recommend you to flash this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396837

( Le reason: It contains all the partitions requiered by our phone and resets them after a factory reset via the provided recovery you are able to flash any stock ROM you want)

- I cant seem to get into Recovery mode

-- Download this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=713695&d=1315490753 extract and run REBOOT RECOVERY

- How do I get in either Download or Recovery mode

-- Volume UP+POWER will take you to recovery mode

Volume DOWN+HOME+POWER will take you to download mode

- Where can i find the fabulous GT-I9001 wiki?

-- Well here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

- Why cant i flash this or that ROM, i get blablabla status error etc?

-- Most of these issues are recovery related. To flash CM9 and CM10 ROMS use either CWM or TWRP (The most stable are being found in the CM threads itself just take a look)

Will add more soon.. But I think these are the most common at the moment.
