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]

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

N9005 Stuck in bootloop after flashing rom - HELP

I have TWRP recovery installed, but no backup - HELP
I have my IMEI number at hand but have no idea how to fix this.
I've been spoilt with my Nexus I think...

You will have to flash a working rom. Do you have any on you phone that you no work. If not you will have to download one on pc and move to your phone to flash in TWRP or use odin.

i did the same thing as i did last time iand it worked but im not sure whats going on here?
please can someone help me please:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Same happened to me when i used mobile Odin. The bootloader wasn't updated.
Did you use Odin 1.85? And did you tick the option update new bootloader? If not do that.
If did that then wipe cache and data reset from recovery.

yeah i used the wrong version of odin. i used 1.85 now its working, but i didnt select update bootloader, how do i know if it updated the bootloader?

You know if the phone is up and running. Kitkat can't boot without new bootloader. So if the phone is working there is no issues.

just FYI,
if you want to flash TW custom ROM, the best you use is Chenglu CWM. So far I seldom see user complain got problem during flashing with this CWM.
TWRP, some users got problem, some are not.

Can't flash any rom.

Hi XDA,
Today I wanted to flash a new rom, but it didn't work, it just do the boot animation until infinite and nothing happens..
I tried flashing two roms by recovery: Carbon for Galaxy S4 and Dirty Unicorns Rom for Galaxy S4.
Both are stuck at boot animation screen.
What can I do? Please help me
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 Black Edition (from Romania)
Thanks.
Have a nice day.

I am using GT-I9500, but i think your recovery may have some things wrong.
Have you tried to flash the TWRP again through Odin ? May be that will work.

Did you turn the usb debugger on ?
Did you install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones in your computer ?
I always do these when i flash somethings through Odin.

Did you wipe the device before flashing?

That's the reason it's failing.
Only use the latest TWRP recovery. The rest is outdated.
99% of Odin errors are resolved by the following:
- Different usb port
- Different usb cable.

Can't Handle It

Hello Guys, recently i was trying to install CMW recovery on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 via odin and it is not working so i researched and found that i can use "FLASHIFY" from playstore to flash the recovery. I flashed it successfully but when i rebooted the phone, it only boot to recovery. Nothing else just the recovery. I can't get out there. So i tried to flash firmware from sammobile and still it doesnt work. I really need your help.
Sorry for the bad English.

Post the Odin log here.

For twrp, flash via Odin.
Before flashing, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash and, when you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into twrp using buttons.
