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.

[Q] Bricked my galaxy y duos

Sorry if i didn't post where i should but I am kinda confused and I didn't find a galaxy y duos topic.
So I installed from mistake a kernel from galaxy y not y duos and it bricked, I tried to install an other kernel but it didn't work and it seem to not respond when I connect the usb.
Can you help me?
Forgot to mention, my guess it's soft bricked because it starts, but stops at samsung galaxy y duos thing and reboots .
Thanks in advance.

Here is a quick soln..Think it will work...
1) Try installing samsung kies on your computer.
2) go to download mode(Not recovery mode) via volume DOWN + home + power key
3) If none of the above works download stock flashable zip and import to sd card via some means and try installing it.....
(Tip:Temp CWM might come handy in the final case)
click thanks if my soln works,
Optimus

Thakns both. I have flashed a rom that i found on the internet ,and I'll geve a thanks both

You'll want to use ODIN to restore your phone to normal. Your computer will not recognized your phone as a USB storage device, but ODIN should be able to see it.
You'll need to find the correct ODIN files for your phone type (Tmobile, Verizon, etc and the ROM combo). If you just go to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5" you'll see different sections based on the service provider; the ODIN files will be in there somewhere.
Once you find the thread there will be accompanying instructions on what to do.

thank's for your reply .
I've experimented with many files ODIN. but any of them did not succeed !
and before this problem, No computer connects to mobile !
model phone : G-900F :crying:

download mode working? press all at the same time: vol down + menu + power button. then follow instruction (press vol up to confirm enter download mode).
once your phone on download mode then connect to PC. ODIN should recognize your phone n flash it. (i assume your PC has all driver installed and u have correct firmware for yr variant)

Don"t freak out.

Mohammed this thread is probably going to be closed. because again its not where it should be. so PM me if this isn't clear .
i wipe system every time i try a new ROM. so dont panic okay
whatever the issue with RECOVERY it doesn't matter if the odin mode or download is still reachable.
if u having trouble with PC recognizing odin mode on your phone. try to make sure u have both samsung usb and google usb drivers.
( NOTE: if it still doesnt recognized it try another usb cable. )

I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.

When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!

Soft Bricked Phone Help!

Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

pls help I want my phone back

You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls

Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
