Hi there
Hope someone can help me on this.
First of all i'ved read a lot and didnt found any anwser.
model: GT-S5660
ssn: S5660GSMH

I 'ved done code factory reset on my gt-s5660 #*2 etc... and after that the phone got stuck on boot loop only showing samsung logo far a few seconds and rebooting in a infinite cycle.

I've already used Odin 4.42 to flash rom's tried some already.

My status is:
if i press volume down+home+power : got into-> downloading...
if i press volume donw+volume up + power -> message: LK(litle kernel) and the starts the boot loop

so, i only can get into downloading mode.

Odin does the flash but with sucess at the end it times out on the rebooting pass.
Kies dont recognize the phone

Wath can i do to revive the phone?


on a post i found this:
"
Stuck in a boot loop?
Is it still able to boot into CWM(Recovery Mode) or Download Mode.
If it's still able to go back into Download Mode, you don't need this software.
Just turn your Captivate into the Download Mode and flash back to STOCK Eclair or Froyo using Odin 1 Click or whatever similar.
"

where can i get the stock Eclair or Froyo android rom?

Can you get into the recovery menu? (Hold home + Power).
If yes, try factory reset again and also clear the Cache Partition

Also, which roms did you try to flash?

No i cant enter recovery menu.
when i hold menu + power it just start the boot loop samsung logo thing.
i just can enter the donwload mode

ive tried (with odin 4.42)
GT-S5660_TPH_S5660XXKTK_S5660OXXKT5_S5660XXKT6
S5660XXKTT_S5660OXXKT9_XEH

Not sure where to get Éclair or Froyo from, but you can get Gingerbread from here
(go to hotfile.com/dl/156197872/2b59195/S5660XXKTL_S5660DBTKT1_DBT.zip.html)


This is Gingerbread 2.3.6 from Samsung

you will need to extract the zip and then flash the ROM using odin

I have successfully flashed this ROM twice this week.

GIO_v1.0.ops

i flahsed with 2.2.1 witho no sucess at all, flash done till end but still stuck on boot loop.

I was thinking on flashing with a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled rom.
where can i get one?

One of the CyanogenMod ROM's may work for you

Not sure where to get one that you can flash with odin though; would be worth having a look through the Gio's "Android development" forum.

xda-university.com/as-a-user/how-to-recover-from-a-bootloop

Have a read of this, it may help you fix the bootloop. You will probably need to use the ABD method

Going to try the adb mode, since i can't enter recovery mode to wipe the cache.

The strange thing of this all is that it happens rigth after i done *2767*3855# for a factory reset and that its something that is not described in the tutorial you showed to me.

thx for the help, it will going to work one way or another... somehow

No luck with adb... so i think i 'am limited to "...You are probably able to fix your bootloop with this guide, in some rare cases some other partitions could be damaged, then I advice you to install the stock rom (which is no .zip in most cases).."

Do you still have a boot loop with the Samsung logo?
Also, have you tried a non stock rom?

maybe you mean s5660L? do you already have your firmware?

in the back it says:
MODEL: GT-S5660
SSN:S5660GSMH
it's Portuguese vodafone

ive'd tryed a lot of firmwares already.
the last one ived flashed its 2.2.1 stock
at the moment the status of the phone is:
-can enter donwloading mode (volume donw+home+power) - screen showing donwloading...
-can enter Dload mode screen showing dload arm9
-CANNOT enter recovery mode
-when i press power screen dont show nothing
-when i connect phone to pc, pc recognizes it and install usb drivers
-Odin recognizes the phone and flash process ocrrus till end
-when i flahs something that isn't 2.2.1, phone enters bootloop with samsung logo on screen.

Iam pretty shure at the moment that the proble its with cache partitions that i should have wipped
