Hi there all. My Galaxy S i9000 is frozen on the downloading screen. It was connected to Odin previously to install CWM recovery but it just stayed on this DL mode. I try to connect to Odin to solve the problem but nothing happens when I connect to computer. Not picked up by Odin, and computer doesn't recognize the device. I have previously installed the driver but the computer doesn't recognize it tells me. I have tried unplugging and reconnecting to no avail. Any help, tips or tricks would be extremely appreciated.

Yes I tried that. The computer recognizes that there's a device connected, but it doesn't recognize what it is. Even though I previously installed the driver.
What happens when you pull the battery then restart, it can't be booting into download mode??
GT-I9000 / SEMA / SLIMBEAN2.3
Hi have you tried resetting both pc and phone, then trying the procedure again. .
If not maybe a usb controller/hub is at fault.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
When I pull the battery and restart it, it is at the soft brick screen, the little picture in centre screen of a mobile and a pc. I can only get it to the downloading screen from there, nothing else.
The pc can recognize other things so the USB seems ok.

try the various solutions to resolve it, from My Android solutions, link below
If you are on Windows, plug phone into PC while in download mode. Go into 'Devices and Printers' , right click on the device, select properties and then the hardware tab, then choose properties again. Go to the driver tab and update driver. After driver has successfully updated, unplug usb and pull your phones battery. Put battery back in and boot back into download mode, then try using Odin again. Hope this works (has for me in the past).
Ok thanks for all the replies. I just finished work. Now I uninstalled driver & plugged it in again while in DL mode. Windows installed the driver. But it came up as "Gadget Serial" It doesn't seem to recognize it as a mobile? When I go into the properties I'm unable to click "update driver".
Ok so Odin seems to recognize something there now as you can see in blue. Now what do I do?

There's nothing in some of them. I tried the Rescue Kit for i9000 using heimdall packed by ldq. No luck. I don't really know what I'm doing lol.
Now looping title screen
Ok so I managed to reboot but now it's doing the boot loop. Stays on Galaxy S screen for 3-4 seconds. Not long enough to play a sound or anything though.

Not getting what you are implying here, you mean Odin does not complete the process or phone does not stay in download mode for it to complete the flashing process or??

So I put phone into DL mode, hook it up to Odin, when Odin's flashing it says KERNEL in the first box at the top, then goes to the blue RESET in the same box, then the phone resets and starts looping again, so then that's all that happens.
I just flashed 512 PIT again, it went to PASS but same result....boot loop.

so you are only flashing a kernel and that does not solve your problem, next solution would be for you to flash a ROM with PIT, download the Ezbase Rescue kit and flash it with the 512 Pit File ( repartition will be ticked automatically when you use a PIT File)

**Update**
ivanoterra and myself have both used CF-Auto Root on our GE S4's and we both can confirm that it has worked.
this is the file we used: http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
**update 2**
More good news, I flashed TWRP using Odin and it worked! TWRP found here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/182
**OP below **
Hi folks,
Just got my GE S4 this morning. So far it's awesome. The only problem is that I'm so eager to root this phone and I cannot find any information on how to do it. Any ideas? I'm doubting it's as simple as just using the same method as the regular S4's, but I could easily be wrong.
Also, any information on whether there will be a sub-forum for the GE phones?
Thanks!
Same here

I think we'll have to wait for a custom recovery before we can root, methinks.
If you're feeling saucy, you can try 'fastboot oem unlock' and see what that does? (Warning: it may wipe your device, it does for my nexus 10)
EDIT: Looks like auto-root does fastboot oem unlock if you're not unlocked.

Ill try that in a moment... Its recovering my apps... Its like 250 apps.. Its on 32%...
But i guess it wont show as custom, GE edition has a Unlocked Bootloader. It was made to be custom rom friendly....
Even if it counts... It wont matter... Probably a counter reseter will solve it...
Didn't work.

Nooooo... You dont know how to flash ?
read the instructions there:
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

I know how. I've done it many times before this. While flashing, odin crashed. :crying:
Is it possible to flash the GE firmware on the international version? If yes does anyone have a guide?
Okay, it worked. Thought my phone was bricked. I used a different version of Odin and it stopped crashing and worked.
I can now confirm that Auto Root works on the GE S4!
Download mode shows that I'm on a custom binary now. It still says "Write Protection: Enable"
I'm curious to find out what that means. The bootloader is already unlocked. I wonder if a certain partition is locked.
I guess the next question to answer is: Can we use the same recoveries as the i9505? I hope so..

Would you be willing to try out Triangle Away to see if it'll reset the custom binary counter? I also wonder if you do fastboot oem unlock if it'll turn off write protection?

I might be wrong but I don't think download mode supports fastboot. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong. With my phone in download mode and my S4 connected, the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show any devices, but when I plug my N4 in, it shows up. Is there a special fastboot mode that is different from download mode?
Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.

So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?
I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

I don't understand the part I bold. Is it bootloop still, even after flashing a stock ROM via Odin successfully? That's weird!
I think you can wipe your phone via ADB, not sure though.

is it important? because my phone does not start so I can access the settings to enable usb debugging

Happened to me but on the note 1 i flashed the pit files also for the phone using pdin and it fixed my problem. Maybe if all else fails try flasing stock rom with pit files using odin.

Yes mate, I think its needed to be enabled. Still you can try and see if your phone shows up on ADB or not, there will be a six or eight digit code appearing on the ADB screen if the phone is successfully connected, but I guess you know that already by reading that topic.
You can ask ADB related queries in that topic too, I guess.
Do update here whatever happens.

So you type adb device, and the device isn't showing up? Ah, that's normal I guess, knowing you can't turn on USB Debugging. I am out of help sadly. You need to get in touch with more advanced users now. I don't know if it's possible to turn on a phone's USB debugging mode without booting into the OS. You could ask in that topic though.

Seems like the EFS partition is broken (IMEI Invalid)
If You don't have any backups done by custom recovery, well... You're probably done.
I am having a similar problem. After enabling KNOX, which I thought was just another antivirus, my phone rebooted, and just got stuck. It would go to the boot page, with the name, and then it would act like it was gonna go to my home screen, but the screen would go black and it would start over. I cleared the cache and factory wiped it, but still no luck. I didn't enable usb debugging, and from what I know there is no way to enable it. I need it to use odin to flash a rom and start over. any suggestions?

Does your device start at all or not? if it starts tell me what do you see? Is the battery charged, anden have you tried Odin 1.87, and have you tired to flash repair firmware 4.4.4, please Try it and make sure to only flash BL file first.

Hey, thank you for the help!
It starts and it doesn't! With the battery, after I try to turn on, it keeps blinking repeatedly and stops only if I remove the battery. And my issue with any fix that I try to flash is that the computer doesn't recognize, probably cuz the blinking blue light is just a random light and not the phone actually trying to turn on... so Odin, for example, doesn't catch any device!
Is there any way to make the computer recognize it? I already tried some usb drivers, but nothing so far... BTW, I have a windows 10.
Thanks!

Well Windows 10 64bit has been creating problems for many many people in the forum and I have seen people running vm and win 7 for the best results. And something very important I must say is that, most of the new computers do have USB 2.0 ports but they are limited in number, so you should find one on ur PC, to us it specifically for phone tweaking softwares. I would suggest you find another PC or laptop around,

Without recovery or Download mode, you'll need to take it to someone with a black box or jtag.
If you can access a working phone of your same model, you can boot download mode from sd

What about download mode? Btw it should not go to logo it should go to recovery after bootimage. You should hold down power home and volume down untill download mode comes or power home and volume up untill recovery menu comes
