I have a faulty samsung i think.
When starting the phone up it shows the startup screen but does not show anymore than that :S
What can I do.??!
If you haven't already done anything bring it in. This should really be covered by your warranty
well it just tried going into recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset to try and fix it without succeed. then i copied files from my other galaxy s over to it via usb and pc. then i was able to go into Clockwork Mod Recovery and delete data. but now it will not start up more than the start screen

Well i think you semi-bricked your sgs.
Confirm that your 3 button download mode works, read up on this in the stickies.
After you have done that, read the stickies on how to flash a stock rom through odin.
That would be my suggestion.
The three button download works. but im not sure what to do with it from there
Oh you have not just bought it? I'm an idiot
in that case:
Have you flashed a gingerbread rom and a Froyo custom kernel?^^
In any way the problem is the ROM - kernel combination, just flash a full rom over it and you should be fine
and that has to be through ODIN?
I cant get usb connection with it because it only reaches start screen

start the galaxy in down load mode using the three button combo...
take an stock rom with three files ( PDA, PHONE & CSC ), tick re-partition and auto-reboot, F. Reset time. Use a suitable .PIT file and flash it.
there are so many tutorials and videos in XDA and youtube.

How can I be sure that they are the right files for the phone when I can not go into it and check version on the phone
as long as you have the international I9000 then any stock firmware should do the job.
its only if you have the bell version or the captivate version you need to make sure you have the right firmware.
I got it done now. Its great.
Only thing is that its not in my language now (Danish). Ive tried to go to settings but danish is not an option there. How do I install the danish language

You need to flash a ROM which includes a multi CSC file.
Or you can cook your own http://romkitchen.org and select your needs then flash through CWM.
Which ROM did you flash?
FYI: I'm using v9.9.5 from http://romkitchen.org/sgs it has 'Dansk' language.

Since we don't know what you did, and you have done so many things since. Do this:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Good luck
Try going back to CWM and do Factory Reset, clear cache, Wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions, the reboot but pull the battery out.
You didn't specify what exactly you have already done, so I'm just thinking of things I would do.
I know you mentioned Odin, did you use it to flash back to stock 2.1?
If not, do it thru here,

DUDE IF U FOLLOWED THE THREAD U CREATED BEFORE AND FLASHED ANY VIBRANT ROM FOLOWED BY GSG TOOLS AND AGAIN KEYMAP BUTTON REFLASH IT WILL WORK but knock your self out and keep askin for help your choice and wasted time .
Hello there, I just tried to root my dads (lol yep) samsung galaxy s.
I used this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332412
as the phone stated it has got 2.3.6 on it.
I used Odin, unticked re-partition & Flash lock. Ticked Auto-reboot & F. Reset time.
Ticked the PDA box and loaded the kernel.
After I pressed start Odin said ''All threads Completed (Succed 1/Failed 0)
But after auto rebooting it just kept looping the boot screen.
What have I done wrong and can I fix this without losing any data?
If not, can I flash it too stock. Never any modifying was done with the phone. Rooting was the first attempt.

EDIT: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/
1) follow steps to get latest xxjw4
2) download http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip and follow siberian tiger's instructions in 2nd post for rooting ur device
3) PROFIT BRODA!!!
Hm weird. I'm sure I did everything correct.
Anyway, I found out that it did manage to install Clockworkmod and I've backed up everything.
So if i would flash a new rom now and then restore only the data image, would I get back all the data?
EDIT:
My dad was/is (hehe) using a dutch rom, are there any latest dutch stock roms available?

i am pretty sure you did the above things in the stock recovery. you need clockworkmod recovery for that.
now as you cannot boot, you cannot copy cwm file to ur memory card. so the option you have is to flash the stock rom
you can view my video here

lol, i also need a haircut.
1. yes you need to extract the files
2. u need the updated files. no need to download the package
3. you need odin. not included in the update, google search it, odin v1.5
4. after you open odin, you'll understand by urself how to load the files
5. update rar needs no pit. so select only pda, modem and csc
6. pda->PDA_S5360_DDLK2.tar
modem/phone ->MODEM_S5360_DDLK1.tar
csc->CSC_S5360_ODDLK1.tar
7. click start and you are done.
8. instead of saying thanks, you can just press the button, takes less time than typing "thanks"
I can't understand why you had an error flashing that rom. You really don't need cwm in flashing that. I successfully flashed it using stock recovery. Well, maybe i'm just lucky.

use evo-x3/x4 they are awesome ROMs. kernel can be Hell's Fusion kernel#50. Really good.
for internal memory, create memory card 2nd partiton and use links2sd

Hi everyone, I have messed up my S4, but I think there is still hope.
I think I had installed the wrong ROM/GAPPS/kernel into the phone (I'm kind of a noob)
Let me list the problems and whats stopping me from fixing the phone:
- When I try to recover my phone using my backup I get a MD5 mismatch (Recovery mode still works)
- I have a ROM .zip on my phone, but when I try flash it I get a "expects 5 args got 4"
- When I try use my phone, I am spammed with "com.android.phone" has stopped working. The only way to use the phone is using the phone in the tiny intervals after closing the notification (which is half a second), so its click, then close, then, click, then close and it gets extremely annoying
- I have a tried a complete wipe/reset and it didn't help
- PC recognizes my phone as a MTP device, but wont let me see any files
- I cant navigate through my files using File Manager either, but I can in CWM Recovery
- I tried downloading the ROM straight to my phone, but the error "cannot create download directory on sd card"
- After navigating the phone for 5 minutes it completely freezes and goes black, and the only way to use it again is to factory reset
Please help me
So what's your phone model and what rom did you flash?

Well there are lots of things you can do.
1. Flash a stock rom
2. Use some wifi browser (Airdroid) to transfer a different custom rom to your phone and flash it.
3. Put the custom rom on a external sd and flash it.
Make sure to perform a full wipe in the recovery though.
Sometimes things like this happen but it's nothing serious.

This has raised my hopes, but I think only step 3 might work. I cant get anything on my phone at all. External is my only hope.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare an external SD for ROM flashing?

No just wipe before flashing.
Flash Philz touch, then turn your phone off and boot into recovery. Once in you are in the recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then find the option 'clean up phone to install new ROM'. After it has finished cleaning up your phone, try flashing the zipped ROM again.

What would be the point in flashing PHilz because he already has a custom recovery (CWM). CWM can wipe just as good.
I installed the Rom VZW_BOK3_ODEX_DEODEX_V1 after the 3rd or 4th time I rooted it, and now I'm not able to restore to stock rom with odin. or get into safetrap recovery or flash through flashfire and I don't know what else to do, and it's lagging so much, can't install app most of the time, can't open apps after a long time I restarted it. Please help me.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to restore if you can get into Download mode, unless either your USB port is messed up or the restore image is corrupted. Check the md5 of the stock restore image you're trying to use, and try a different cord and/or a different USB port on your computer.
Also make sure you're not trying to downgrade to BOD5 or earlier if your bootloader is BOE1 or above, because you can't downgrade.
I can get into download mode, if I flash something else via odin works also it flash the .img it's the bok3 I've done it before, but now nothing work and it's hellllll! I also flashed PB1 that is post on the tread.

What exactly happens after you click the button to flash the stock image file in Odin? Odin should say OK and the phone should reboot. What happens after that?

Indeed, it says ok, then it flash the .img and says successful and it reboot the phone like it should. But, then when it start, it's just like it was before, but without root
Make sure you got installed buisy box and safe strap . Install recovery from ss , go to super su and update and make sure is granting the app . Now install NI2 SS flasher for lollipop and make sure super su grant access . Run NI2 and go in the ss. Full wipe then install whatever rom and whatever match firmware with no bootloader then reboot.

Try booting into stock recovery mode (hold home + vol UP + power), and clear cache from there and then reboot.
If that doesn't work, do the same thing but do "factory reset" from stock recovery.

In the safestrap , wipe and just flash the rom then the bok3 firmware ( your choice for rom and firmware , bok3 or pb1 ) . When is done and you see the SS home splash just reboot to download mode ( if not working do it manual ) and odin the og5 bootloader just in case https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347768483. Done , wait 5 minute , if not working reboot recovery manual and wipe data , factory reset and cache. Is this clear enough ?
Yes, was CLear enough, but it didn't work...
as the last resource I try to fix it with the Verizon app and also with kies. Both reboot and reset the phone, but it is still laggy and the apps wont open soon but after long time... also will freeze for a long time. do you think have something to do with core system?

A reset will resolve just about any issue caused by software. You might be looking at a hardware issue.
Install a system monitor app of some kind to see if any processes are really busy.
It's a long shot, but the only thing that comes to my mind is to remove the microSD card: if that resolves the issue, it means your processor is busy chewing on indexing all the media files on your microSD card and may be getting hung up on a corrupted file. If that does nothing, you might have bad RAM or something.

Thanks, antutu it's fine?
And maybe the SD card as it won't read it fast.. and when I try to access to the SD it maybe freEze or slow down... I'll check it out
Yes, for being slow I'm pretty sure was the SD car as I removed it and it feels more smooth, do you know if there is a way to keep the SD in the phone?

First, try opening the SD card on your computer and searching for files of size "0 kb", (that's zero). If you see any media files that are zero kb, delete them. They are corrupted and are causing your phone's media indexing to get stuck in a loop. Symptoms of this issue are slow performance and the phone running hot from trying to process the file continuously. A battery-use examination or performance monitoring app will reveal "android media process" as the offender.
If this does not resolve the issue, you need to take more extensive action. First, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, then format the SD card using the phone, and then copy the data back to the freshly-formatted SD card. Then double-check it for files with a "0 kb" size.
If the problem persists, a last resort would be getting a new microSD card.
