Hi, yesterday I flashed my phone with Cyanogenmod and all was working perfect, I had installed the clockworkmod recovery and I rebooted the phone and now all the time appears the clockwordmod recovery, I removed the battery, try in download mode but nothing happens and in the recovery mode I can't select nothing because the home button does the function of the volume -, it's strange, hope u can help me, regards.
Anyone know how I can fix it? is urgent, thanks.

Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)

Hello!
Something strange happened today. I plugged the usb cable to my mobile and it couldn't connect in order to access the files from my pc.
So, i decided to restart it, in case something went wrong.
After the shutdown, it can't boot!
Actually, it boots, but it stays for ever at the IDEOS logo. :S
I can boot at the bootloader (hold Vol+,Vol- and Power until the screen turns pink) and the Clockworkmod recovery (hold Vol+ and Power) (v4.0.0.5).
I have the stock rom that this mobile came with, Android 2.2.3 from wind - Greece.
Here is something that may help. From clockworkmod i took a backup of my system and at the final step i saw this at the log:
no sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
however, the backup completed successfully.
What should i do in order to have my mobile back in working state, and if possible, without losing any data?
FYI, i also have an old backup, maybe we can take from there some files that are corrupted/damaged????
thank you in advance for your help!
Here are some more questions:
After the shutdown, it can't boot!
Did you change anything before you booted? i mean in system.

What happens if you reinstall stock rom?

It only means that i didn't back up ext partition in your sd-card. Doesn't have effect.

I dont think there is

You can try to flash it throught cwm.
first of all, thank you for your fast reply!

no.
the last thing i did that had to do with the system was to update through market the "fing" app, but that was hours ago.

I don't know which was my stock rom. Do you know how to identify it?

as i said the backup is old, and there may be a huge data loss.
there isn't a way to repair only the boot files ?
edit:
i see in CWM that there is an option "wipe data/factory reset". Will it work?
solution found, if you encounter the same problem, please look there!
topic may now close!
hello I have a problem with the ZTE blade did I upgrade to Moldova-mile-high-Mountain-Piet RLs9. worked for a while and I did restart not reopened by removing the icon and android stop there. How do I restore; thank you very much
hold the power button + vol down when turning on the phone to boot into cwm go to backup and restore
I have tried all possible combinations and does nothing. remains on the screen with the logo of the android thank you!
So you may try a TPT install,i think that it will work!Just find a rom with TPT install possibility,put IMAGE folder in your root of sd card and then power on phone with POWER BUTTON+MENU+VOLUME UP
[SOLVED]
I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.
Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.
Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...
But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?
there is one other button but that didn't work either.
I cannot find a forum for Huawei model u8180 (

Hmm, would this work?
yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.
So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].

Most people can get download mode by holding down Volume Down and Home, then Pressing Power.
Download Mode and a Bright Yellow Triangle will display on the screen if you're successful.
If you have a Custom ROM installed (seems unlikely given your question) and therefore have Clockworkmod, you could try getting back into Clockwork Recovery by holding Volume Up and Home then pressing Power and keeping the Volume and Home buttons depressed. You can restore a backup from there, reflash the rom you're currently running, and best of all, you can mount your internal SD Card on a PC and recover any essential files.

If the phone is on, hold power button and vol down untill it shuts off, then without letting go of power button, move finger from vol down and hold vol up (so youll now be holding vol up and power). Hold the buttons until the samsung galaxy s4 splash screen comes on (with white text before the boot screen). You should be able to boot into recovery and restore your backup.
I know restoring your backup didn't work the first time but you should try again. If you have any other roms on your sd card that you can flash from recovery, try those if the backup doesn't restore again

you are holding the power button still even after you let go of vol down correct? Does the phone restart if you hold vol down and power for about 20 seconds (without the finger moving steps)?

Ok.... so I take it your phone does restart. If your phone restarts, it should be able to boot into recovery. Play around with the timing of the recovery button presses and try to get back into recovery. Do a battery and sim card pull. Leave them out for a minute, replace them and try to boot into recovery after replacing them.
If none of that works, I would odin flash the stock firmware and start over with it. Thats just me.

Good news, i left the cellphone charging all night long, then i entered cwm, everything fine, and i restored the backup...
But still, i want the 4.3 rom, What could I have done wrong? Maybe is because i didn't root the phone after?

If you want, try re-flashing it...but your really not missing out on much (major battery drain, no root, no new features). Im not sure what went wrong but its definitely not because you didn't root it after flashing.
Good to hear you got the issue resolved though
