Bootloop while flashing JW4

Hey, I tried flashing JW4 stock rom via ODIN which I downloaded from sammobile.
The name of the file is I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip and on extracting there were 2 files called JW4_JW4_JW4.tar & SS_DL.dll. I selected the tar file in PDA and flashed. The process passed but am stuck with bootloop. Plz help

I also flashed a jw4. But that was without the dll.
Anyway, after i flashed and it booted up i got a doozen errors telling me it couldnt mount different partitions.
So i gave it up as a bad one and found a thread here at xda with different stock roms and ended up with jw5.
No complications whatsoever. Yet
just google for "stock roms i9000 xda" and you should stumble over the thread i believe.
Good luck

I faced exactly the same problem: bootloop after flashing XXJW4 and many mount errors in the screen. I concluded that this firmware is not standalone in the sense that you cannot flash and repartition the device using it. Following this logic I performed these steps, leading me to a successfully recovered and fully functional XXJW4 phone:
Flash it with a full stock firmware, e.g. XXJVU (mark "repartition" as well).
Flash XXJW4 as you have done it, but make sure "Repartition" is not selected. That is, just select the tar file in the PDA field and leave the rest with the default options.

Another huge problem Got Black Screen Of Death. Am able to get my phone on to download mode but odin is not detecting my phone. HELP ME What to do?

Use another USB port. You can flash deodex version of JW4 which doesn't have any problems

bootloops
Factory Reset / Cache Wipe /
use by the Pitfile from JW 1 and flash the JW 4 ,that`s it !!
LG.G.

Your PDA file might be missing the dbdata.rfs file, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24182099&highlight=dbdata#post24182099, which can cause boot loops.

Download and flash through odin DDLC2_ODDLA2_DDLC2 or DDLE1_DDLD1_DDLE1. Even I had problem with DDLA3_DDLA2_DDLA2.
Hope it works now.

hmmm
Im really confused, because if you flashed merruk kernel and it did not work then just download recovery kernel..
put phone in download mode (power+home+volume down)
plug phone to pc while odin is open
choose recovery kernel on PDA option (don't check or uncheck anything)
flash it and it should work... lol

It was happened to me before.. I have no choice but to flash to a fresh STOCK ROM with stock Kernel.
The SOLUTION would be ODIN. Go to Doky's thread and select the latest version of your firmware based on your country - download and extract.
Here's his thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
Now, download ODIN if you're not having it yet. here's the thread - credits to OP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464775
Here's the instruction on how to flash to STOCK ROM and Kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21846668&postcount=2
I did formatted my sd card extent that time too hope it helps.

anyone can help

from where can i get a flashable zip of stock kernel??????

Idk. Search...
Try to get a boot.img of stock kernel.
Then search for Sgybicwm.zip in general section. Put the stock boot.img in root of your sdcard and flash sgybicwm.zip via cwm. You are done.
Any other boot.img flasher like faqbly wont work. I just tried it with hells fusion 50. it has a stock kernels boot.img inside stock folder of the kernels zip. Get that and sgybicwm.zip

i dont know what is download mode. i cant go in recovery mode too. its my fisrtt mobile.only passed 3 months with it . o god i am crying:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Ok.
Here is what you need to do.
Download a stock rom from dock73's thread from dev section (its a sticky one, so no trouble in finding it).
Then download odin3 v1.85 from same thread.
Get samsung mobile device drivers.
Install drivers first.
Then extract all those zips (rom and odin ) in a separate folder.
Open odin.exe.
Then switch off your phone (pull battery if nothing works).
Press Volume down + Power + Home Buttons All at same time
You will be I'm download mode.
Press volume up and connect your phone to pc with data cable.
You will see a yellow signal on odin screen. Dont change anything and just add those files from the firmwares you extracted in the folder.
Csc.tar.md5 for csc
Modem.tar.md5 for phone
And
pda.tar.md5 for pda
Click on start and it will show a pass to you when completed.
Hope that complets all for you.
If you still dont get head over to docky thread.
And see 2nd post.

Samsung Galaxy S don't boot

Hey i got a Problem.
I tryed to install Android 4.1 second time on my device.
First time it ran perfekt but i had to remove it because gaps didn't work.
After i removed it i got a new Buildingnumber it changed from JVI to JW1 but there were no kernel to root my handy again.
So I tryed itt with my old rootkernel JVI.
But Odin stopped working and now my handy can't boot, the only thing that works is the downloadmode.
Every time i want to start it there is a telefon, a pc and a ! on middle of both.
And maybe it's important, i'm on Linux and i used a Windows virtuelle maschine to controll Kies and Odin.
I hope you can help me

That's called forced download mode. You need to flash a kernel with Odin. Pm me if you need the link for Odin. Search xda for a kernel. Also on a side note, for gapps you will have to flash it twice. Once will not be enough.

If you are having no luck with Odin, try using Heimdall.
1..Download Heimdall from www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/, preferably version 1.3.1 as 1.3.2 isn't quite as stable.
2. Download a firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179. The link also contains a decent guide by Aorth on how to use the Heimdall frontend to load i9000 firmwares.
3. Before following the guide, install the correct drivers to use with heimdall by putting your phone into download mode, unpacking the heimdall application zip and running 'zadig', (found inside the drivers folder). Under options, remember to tick 'List all Devices' and untick 'Ignore hubs or composite parents'. Install either 'Samsung USB composite device' or 'Gadget serial'.
Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

now it worked.
The new firmware runned succesfull but now my handy is bricked without a reason omg...
Now i have to fix it new?
Why it bricked without doing anything?...

huw much time should it need to get in recovery system from clockword Mod?
I think it bricked second time i tryed to go into recovery system

Clockworkmod is a recovery. What firmware did you flash exactly? Did you check the MD5? What did you use to flash (clockworkmod, odin etc)and what steps did you take to flash?

you can install Roms with Clockwork right? why it brick everytime i use recovery mode?
I installed the Samsung Firmware 10 times now i think.
to flash i the 2.3.3 Firmware from Samsung i used Odin.

And i want to install andorid 4.1 now

[SOLVED] My Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 won't start

Hello everybody
My friend has a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and since yesterday it won't start. It shows "Samsung Galaxy Y young" and doesn't start. So I decided to try to root it and install Jellyblast v3 but it's the same problem. I followed a tutorial and tried to wipe cache and data but still the same problem. So now I read that the people who had the same problem as me, resolved their problem by flashing the stock rom with odin. But I saw that we needed some information like PDA, PHONE and CSC but I can't have these informations as the phone won't start So I am going to follow a tutorial to flash it with odin. But I'm worried about bricking definitely her phone :s So I want to know if there is no risk to brick her phone if I try to flash a stock rom without knowing these information (PDA PHONE CSC).
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english °° !!

wouldnt work though if you changed your file system to ext to use cm7/9/cyanmobile/pa
you can only restore a nandroid backup fully if you restore it on the kernel on which it was made and you are on the same file system as it was made although you can advanced restore if on different kernel and should work if it can verify md5 sum

You've unzipped 1 too many times.
You need the .Tar file.
Flash this in PDA section of Odin and you're good to go!
I would recommend formatting cache, data, system and preload in CWM first.

Good idea is to KEEP a copy of the stock rom for these little incidents... It is easier, and sometimes the only way, to flash the stock rom after a bad flash...
If you have the I9505 I would suggest buying Mobile ODIN... It makes flashing ALL roms so much easier... You do need to root the phone 1st though with PC ODIN. After that you can flash the tar files through it or the custom rom zip files... Mods can be flashed easily too.

since no one has suggested a nandroid backup, i am going ahead and doing that.
i have found it to be the most helpful when things go wrong
