[Q] MIUI 2.3.4 for Galaxy S Gone wrong

[IphoneHater007]

Hi All - while in the process upgrading from the previous version of MIUI to this latest one, I accidentally selected the 'restart system option after formatting the system, cache and data without flushing the new ROM and now the phone won't boot up. It goes to the main Galaxy S screen followed by Galaxy S Glitch screen then it runs some coding (in seconds so i don't know what is says) and then back to main Galaxy screen in a loop.
What I have tried
> Going to recovery mode with vol up + home + power button (released @ first Samsung Screen) but then it goes back to second Galaxy S Glitch screen in the same loop.
> Going to download mode with vol down + home + power button and it does the same as going into recovery mode.
> Tried to do go into recovery and download mode multiple times using different combinations of vol up, vol down, home and power button without success.
> Read through the threads here but I was not able to find anything with the same or similar problem problem
> I tried to follow the help provided by Thyrador on this forum

> Connecting phone to ODIN keeps on going rebooting in the phone in a loop as well.

I know if I can go into recovery mode I will be able to flush the new ROM but getting there is the problem.
I would appreciate your help with this and hope there is a fixable solution.

I have done that a few times and both CWM and download mode should be there.

Make sure everytime you try the 3 buttons you actually remove the battery before trying.

Edit: the coding you are talking about is CWM trying something and that's shy I think it is still there.

Did you just format system?

Thanks for your response
I actually formatted the system, data and cache without flushing the new ROM.
I tried what you said about removing the battery but that didn't show anything on the screen when I tried the 3 buttons. Is that what you meant?

cheers

What I meant was a bit dumb as since you have a bootoop you would have removed the battery anyway each time to try.

I normally flash the same way like you and I always do a factory reset (which formats Data and cache and I do the system manually. Unless soemthing has gone seriously wrong I don't see why you would not be able to get back to recovery?

I have even done it today actually and managed to go back to recovery.

I would say try and boot into download mode. Did you use Download Mode in the past? Are you sure it is there?

I read somewhere else someone saying that it does not always work the first time. Give it a few tries.

Your last option would be the JIG obviously but hopefully you should be able to get it sorted without.

To tell you the truth I always use an app to boot the phone into recovery or download mode however one of my work colleagues has always being able to reboot my phone into any of these modes using the three buttons - not sure how. I will continue to try anyway.

Thanks again for your response and for give me hope that this has happened to you in the past.

cheers
