Galaxy S bootloop

Hello everybody,
i´m new here and have a great problem on my Galaxy S I9000.
I hat Android 2.2 installed on that device and wanted to install Cyanogenmod by this guide (cant post links)
The Problem i had was i couldn´t get into the downloadmode or recoverymode (Volume up/down, home and Power button)
So i made it with the Android SDK (adb reboot download) to get into the downloadmode.
Once I was there i made the part with the heimdall flash --kernel zImage.
In the end it said the Installation was succesfully and rebootet the Phone. Now it always reboots and only shows the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen and then restarts.
Notice, i didnt do anything else instead the things above (no rootet phone, no flash or something like this). I also had problems installing Android 2.3 with Kies on this device so i tried it with 2.2.
Is there a chance for me to get the phone back to stock? If i connect the USB to the PC it sounds like it detected the device, but then it restarts.
If i only stick in the USB cable to the PC without booting the device a round loading screen apears but stock.
Odin also dont show up anything. Is there anything i can do? Thank you.

For USB Connection issues try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
For recovery try to Flash Rescue kit for i9000 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29331775&postcount=1

Sounds like you flashed kernel only, so the proper system is missing.
Try to get into download mode again, and flash a complete ROM (kernel, phone, csc, database, pit512, repartition...) using Heimdal or Odin. Search sammobile.com or the forum to get the ROM/version you need/want (if stock is your choice, use the 3-files-firmware).
If you want to install CyanogenMod, you'll need to get into recovery mode and install the CyanogenMod.zip from here.

Possibly dead boot MP Rio, Help/Suggestions Please T.T

So apparently, I went home and usually put my phone into my desk.
While I took it from my pocket, I noticed the hardware buttons were lit but no display, I removed the battery to restart, during the week, frozen screen were occurring a dozen times when playing Clash, that though I didn't mind I just said to myself I will reflash the rom in the weekend.
But up to now,
It won't turn on, recovery mode or anything also doesn't work
It wont charge
Tried a new battery but still no luck
I think PC reads it but SPFT wont
Any suggestion on how I can revive my phone?
Attached is the error I get from SPFT

I don't own the A120 anymore. That is almost similar to this, as you might know.
Anyway, as nobody has answered your question, I will try to help as much as I can.
Does it give you a haptic feedback(vibration) when you try to power on the device?
Are you saying that it won't turn on completely?
If it is being detected on the computer and not on SPFT, you might want to check with the drivers you have. Do you have the MTK VCOM drivers installed? (I'm not really sure about the name, but it was something like that).
And try flashing the Stock ROM with SPFT with your battery removed from the phone.
Download the drivers.
Connect your phone without the battery and keep your device manager open, if it shows a device with a yellow exclamation mark beside it, right click and click on properties. You will have to do this quickly.
Once that is done, go to driver tab on the properties window. Select Update Driver. Browse my computer and enter the location of your downloaded and unzipped drivers.
(You might get a digital signature error or something similar. I'll tell you how to bypass that in the end. If you get that, go to the end, follow those steps and then come back and do all the steps after the downloading part.)
If the drivers are successfully installed, then unplug your device, run the SPFT and load the Scatter file of the Stock ROM.
Now select Download only and start the download, it will wait for you to connect the phone.
Plug in your phone without the battery. This should initialize the download process.
Now wait for the flash to be completed and if it is successful, take out your phone and boot it. If it boots up, congratulations.
If it does not, flash the same ROM the same way another time and check, if it is still not working, try with Firmware upgrade mode, twice. It should work in those tries.
Digital Signature Error bypassing.
I know only one method which works on Windows 8 and above(Tested).
Hold the Shift key while pressing Reboot.(Yes, you have to reboot your PC)
Once there is a blue screen with options, you should see "Troubleshoot". Select that.
Then Advanced Options and then Start Up settings. Then press Restart.
This will show you a menu with a lot of options. Select the option number which says "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".
This will log you into the PC normally, but now, you can go back and do all the steps again and you won't get an error.
Cheers!
If this still doesn't help you, let me know on what happens so I can try to get you back your phone. Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, but I already gave up and bought a new one because I badly need an android device for my mini accounts in CoC. Haha but I am till trying to revive my Rio during my free time, this has been my phone for 1 1/2 year..
Yes I am aware that Rio is rebranded A120, I also asked from CM12.1 and AOSP LP Wiko Rainbow threads and some suggested help. Tried all that but still same errors.
No, there's no response of any kind including vibration when turning on. Hmn, as per the drivers, I've been using Tinno Driver since the jelly bean era of this phone, no problems or whatsoever from jb to kk to lp using that driver, so I thought there would be no problems. Still no luck in getting success. Using different versions of SPFT, using sp flashable Rio jb, kk, MMX A120 jb, kk, Wiko kk,lp stock roms, still no luck. Tried every port and cord. And I am using the Win7 64bit, I also resorted to MTK drivers, both the preloader and Da. Still.. No luck. Haha. I also tried, download only, format all+download, and firmware upgrade option with every possible combination from above but no success..
Thanks for your answer btw!

Mode download doesn't work

Hello,
I want upgrade my LG G2 with a new rom 5.xX
This phone have only the operator update. No custom, no trwp, nothing...
I installed drivers and when i want access to download mode. I can't. I use the good proccess with vol up then plug usb cable always with vol up presses.
follow this procces after a little moment my phone show me battery logo charging.
So i can't access to download mode.
I would use this process
t was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.
but it's impossible for me to install B2appsetup on my pc the installation begin then stop after 5s then nothing.
I have Win 10.
Do you have a solution for me , please??

Stuck in rescue mode after tried flashing stock firmware

Good evening! I hope you can help me.
I flashed LineageOS 14.1, but I wanted to go back to EMUI. I made all the wipes and tried to flash different stock firmwares through a forced update (volume buttons + power button), but it never worked. At that point, I read about a guy in this forum who suggested to create a flashable zip with Huawei Update Extractor: I followed the suggestion and tried to flash it with TWRP. No error was given, but when I tried to restart, TWRP told me I had no OS installed. I thought it was strange, so I tried to restart anyway. That's when I got in rescue mode. I can't get into the recovery and I can't use fastboot. What rescue mode shows me is:
RESCUE MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Update User Guide:
*link*
*android avatar*
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Pressing the three buttons, I'm able to force an update. The problem is I can't find a firmware that doesn't get rejected. With Lollipop firmwares, it starts to install, but it fails at 12%. With Marshmallow ones, the installation process doesn't even start.
What can I do to make it work again? I'm very sad because this phone was gifted to me a couple of days ago and I already messed it up. I don't even know how to turn it off.
What can I do to get in fastboot mode? At that point, what should I do to flash the stock firmware? Or maybe do I need to find the first stock firmware ever installed into this phone to make the forced update work?
Please, I need help. Thank you in advance!
P.S. The phone's model is ALE-L21. I live in Italy, so I assume it's a European version.

Did you managed to fix this?

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I found out that the device is recognized by my PC if I follow these steps:
1. Connect the phone to the PC and wait for it to go in rescue mode;
2. Wait until the notification LED stops to blink;
3. Disconnect the USB cable;
4. Press volume - and power button;
5. Reconnect the cable.
At that point, the screen turns black and the phone is recognized as "㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸". I installed the drivers and now it's recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I should be able to reflash the partitions and make my phone work again, but I'm still trying to understand how to do it correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

fastboot detects your device when you plug it into your computer?
I mean, if you run "fastboot devices" it shows your phone?
I've had this same problem but with an P8 Lite 2017, after flashing some ROM that supposedly was the stock one and trying to flash recovery I ended up with my phone bootlooping into rescue mode, I was able to "bypass" this thing rebooting my phone like crazy, seriously like after 20 reboot it finally booted into the damn ROM and I never touched the phone again. Sometimes when the phone ran out of battery and tried to power it on the phone booted into rescue mode and again after some reboots it booted to Android but now I want to install a custom ROM or at the very least root this damn phone so that's why I'm asking you if you have solved this, if you do then probably if I follow the same steps I would be able to fix that screen, hopefully.
If you are able to flash something start with flashing all recoveries your update.app has, maybe that's the problem (at least in my phone it is).

No, it doesn't show anything if I write that command...
I guess mine won't ever boot into the rom because it seems like there's no system installed. I made some researches and found out there are some softwares that let you reflash the partitions IF the phone is recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I'm still trying to figure out how to do it correctly though. I feel like if I do something wrong, then my phone won't probably turn on again.
In your case, you should be able to flash a custom rom without any issue. You just have to be very careful and inform you as much as you can: I don't want your phone to end up like mine?. Anyway, it seems pretty hard to go back to the stock rom, so think about it before you flash a custom rom. Also, make a Nandroid Backup is very important.

Bricked phone, won't turn on/fastboot/recovery

So yeah, I screw up by a lot, but let's see if someone can help me/
I tried to update twrp on my phone and it got bricked, ADB was not seeing the device but Mi FlashTool was with a code but not COM, tried changing the phone drivers brom 900E to QL8000 and it got registered by MiFlashtool as COM and another code, the phone was still showing there even if I could not make the phone go to fastboot mode, just blackscreen; I tried to reinstall stock rom with it but got stuck at "flashing", disconnected the phone, the phone was still bricked in a black screen, when trying to reconnect the phone again to the pc, Win10 now displays an error

I hope you can help me with this issue.

Hello Bro. Try install latest Mi Flash Tool latest version and then install the drivers. For my it's works in windows 10.
