[Q] Constantly Rebooting.

---

So i tried to updated to a custom firmware after i JUST received my galaxy S back.

And it got bricked.

It failed during the initial flash with Odin, no big worry i thought as i'll just reflash it. It constantly failed until I changed the USB slot. Now after I've even completed the flash the phone boots up shows the "GT-i9000/m" logo then shows those 9 bars that show its trying to load the battery charger. Then the screen goes black and it tries that over and over again.


Anybody had this problem? I think it's a soft brick and can be resolved before sending it back in and losing the phone for another month.

is download mode working then ? does odin recognise the phone ??

if so download a stock firmware with all 3 files and pit. and use re-partition. and see how that goes.

actually if it is a software problem there are lots of possible procedure to fix that just reflash it with an official firmware using odin

I've tried the following:

use odin 512pit and a tar file and using odin with a 803pit and a tar file.

Both resulted in the same thing.

Is there a specific FW i should try?

edit:

With and without repartitioning.

try JM8 with PIT and pda.modem,csc. and re partition again.

I know wher eto get JM8, but how/where do I get the PDA.modem and csc?

hmm yea i know what u mean, most modern firmwares only come in 1 file now. download that. but im not sure what pit to use. il have a look now.

i think its 512 pit

here try this

Tried everything. I think it might be a hardware error.

Last ditch effort of Jm8 in odin 1.0 now... will let you know if it works.

Edit:Nothing worked.

Gonna go return the phone/send it back to samsung.

Double EDIT:

Flashed the phone back with JL2 that i got from Samsung and checked EVERYTHING in ODIN. Phone went past the boot logo repetition and into the "S" but doesn't do anything more. Just gets stuck after that. (corrupted internal SD)
