Stuck in the infamous connect phone to PC screen - Please help

[amir77a]

HI,

I'm a complete newbie with the Android (power user in WM).

Using SGS i9000 with origin German ROM I9000XXJF3.

I was trying my first ROM reflash, but something seems to be very wrong.

This is what I did:

1. I rooted the device successfully using that guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754

2. Downloaded and install from the market busybox

3. Then I followed the guide here: http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/Flash guide english.pdf .

Important, I was trying to install the ROM: I9000JPJG8 BUT with PIT 513

4. ODIN announced (on blue background ): reset, and the device returned into recovery mode (same I used for rooting the device).

5. I was trying to repeat the process, this time with PIT 512 with the same ROM.

6. It seems to successful. I saw the glowing Galaxy S, for sometime, then the device turned itself off.

Now all I get is the connect to PC (phone, orange exclamation mark & PC logos) logo.

I was trying to pull the battery out, restarted the PC, and was trying to reconnect to ODIN, but ODIN does not recognize the device.

I was trying to select in ODIN only "auto reboot", press start, but again nothing happened.

Very frustrating for a start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Amir.

Shalom amir,
go back to download mode and reflash with odin (512 pit). Should do the trick.

I've experienced the same thing before. I thought I bricked the phone but that wasn't the case.

Try to reflash your SGS on another computer. This PC that you used won't be able to find your SGS anymore until you successfully flashed it.

Hi Mike,

After numerous times, I've managed to return to downloading mode

I've achieved that by inserting the battery, while pressing vol down+power+home.

Now was able to reflash, and everything is good.

I did that too, but the problem was how to return to downloading mode..

Almost had a heart attack...


Thanks anyway guys!

I have been stuck on that screen more than I like but have found this to work the best.

1 - power down the device and remove battery / usb connection
2 - connect usb
3 - hold the volume up key while moving to step 4
4 - insert battery

I end up in the download screen everytime and then must start the Ordin3 flash quickly otherwise it just hangs on the download. I appears if I start the download within 15 seconds, works like a charm.

You are SUCH A LIFE SAVER!!! I tried every other thing on xda and youtube but the above steps are the only one that worked on my vibrant. The trick is to start ODIN ASAP after step 4 and start the flash (after selecting PIT and PDA file) or it won't work if you take your time
