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.

As long as you can access download mode, everything is easy. Just flash a new ROM via Odin and you're good

You can flash any ROM using odin as it will do the root for you. If you are a noob then try this link it has full detailed instructions and is a great starting point from which you can build on [flash over]

What is the error
Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5

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

Hey There!
Please provide the error message that Odin displays.
1. Was your phone on Download Mode before you start flashing?
2. If the answer is yes to the above, did you try plugging the USB cable to another port on your PC/Laptop ?
3. If yes to the above, under Odin Message did it display as "Added!!" before you started flashing via PDA option ?

You cant flash that stock ROM coz you have a SGH-I337:
- Sig in and log in Sammobile.com
- Download and unzip this firmware: HERE (Dont try to flash other firmware coz ur phone haven't updates)
- Flash through Odin like in pic attached.

My device model has been changed

Hi Everyone,
I do apologize first if this is a dumb question.
I just flash my T-mobile S5 with an international ROM. Everything is working great but I have noticed my device model has been changed to SM-G900F instead of G900T. Is it ok? And what could I do to get the correct device model back? Thanks

It's fine. If you wish to change it you'll need to change the ro.product.model line in /system/build.prop.

I'm not sure this can help you cuz I'm also a newbie but this is what I did
I use Odin to root my phone first
Use Odin to flash the recovery
Then use Recovery to flash the custom ROM

Yeah, you shouldn't have gone in odin to change your device name That easily could have been done with a file manager's build prop editor. Now the reason why you can't flash your rom via odin is most likely because you checked a box called reactivation lock in the security section. If you're able to turn on your phone go and uncheck that box and you should be ok to flash via odin. If you can't boot try recovery/restore.

Problem using Odin

When I use Odin to flash back my original Samsung S4, I received a 'Failed' message. I need to flash back the original rom as I need to send my phone back to service station. The Odin version I'm using is 3.07
My present rom is rooted and have Philiz recovery installed.
Anyone can assist?
Thanks.

Odin troubleshooting:*If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.

that link u send me says:
If you have any issues or Odin does not see your device...
1. Try a different USB cable
2. Try a different USB port on your PC
3. Uninstall Kies. (Kies sometimes interferes with Odin)
4. Download the latest drivers from the Samsung website here. (Uninstall the existing drivers from your PC, reboot, and then install the new drivers.)
5. Try a newer version of Odin. @sway8966 has posted Odin v3.10.6 in this post.
already tried all of this, my guide is the post #2?

Could you tell me the version of the bootloader or OS version of your phone before it went into softbrick?
If you do not know go to the recovery mode and it will tell you the version of software in the phone .
In the OP, I noticed that you tried to install the old firmwares (ADB, MDL). Are those firmware name showed up in your recovery mode?
To flash with Odin you need
1. Odin has to recognize your phone.
2. You have to have correct firmware .
If Odin does not recognize your phone you need to follow the steps 1 to 5 that you mentioned in this post.
If Odin recognize your phone then we need to figure out what firmware you need to flash the phone.

Sounds like Odin is failing to flash the firmware because the firmware is trying to install an older bootloader.
Boot into download to confirm the phone's model #. If it is an sgh-i337, the bootloader is probably locked.

Thanks guys
i found this solution in another post:
first i flashed recovery-mj6.tar using odin
then i flashed mf3-emergency-part-1.tar (it fails at end but says thats normal)
same with mf3-emergency-part-2.tar
after that i could boot my phone on recovery mode, so i tried to flash mk2 update using adb, but it failed.
so i tried flashing the all in one mk2 tar file via odion and worked fine!
my phone is back to life.
thank you very much guys.
