Galaxy S i9000 non-stop bootloop

Hi everyone
I have a galaxy s with a strange problem.
When I'm turning it on, the phone will bootloop.
I tried to flash stock roms, several of them but the result is always the same.
Odin shows that everything went great, I get the PASS message but then the phone will reboot itself and get into recovery 3e mode and that's it. If I try to reboot the phone it will get into bootloops all over again.
This is the state the phone gets into after a successful odin stock rom flash.

First of all - thanks
Tried what you've said.
Now the device has a normal CWM recovery but still nothing. Bootloops.
I can't get access to the internal SD.
Maybe another idea?
Thanks.

Is there a game or something you installed recently? Anything related to Meida files? another person seem to have same problem here ('Successfully copied meida files')
Try flashing a CSC file , was my suggestion
But before that try a hard reset by
Turn off the i9000 Phone and take out the Battery and Reinsert it. Hold the Volume Down button Press and Release the Power button Select Clear Storage by Pressing the Volume Down button Press and Release the Power button Press Volume Up to confirm i9000 master reset
or http://www.hard-reset.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-hard-reset.html

Did you flash the file that you downloaded? The dbdata file? And you could try wiping everything before you do this to see if it helps

I had the same thing happen to me on a stock, un-rooted Note 3 - the GPS stopped functioning. I took it back and exchanged for an S5.
However, since you rooted and thus voided your warranty, you might have just dug your phone a nice cozy grave.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I have the same issue

It's unlikely to be a hardware failure. You probably just messed up the system files by changing so many ROMS.
Make a backup if you don't already have one
Do a system reset from the settings menu (note that this will delete your user files!)
Boot to recovery mode and choose wipe cache (recovery mode: remove battery for ten seconds, replace. then volume up + home + power)
Use Odin or Keyes to flash a full stock firmware image (replace system files)
More than likely this will fix your GPS
You will need to reinstall the ROM you ended up choosing, apps, etc

[Q] Help / Stuck [D800] - Can't get computers to see phone in Download Mode

I've probably used the LG Flash Tool 10 times the past week on both my home and work computer with no problems. Last night I flashed the KK bootloader and a stock 5.0.2 ROM (after tot'ing back to 4.4.2, rooting, etc).
It hangs at the LG logo and that's where I'm stuck. I tried going into Download Mode, but suddenly both of my computers won't see the phone and give me an error in Device Manager. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the drivers as well. Why in the world would that happen unless somehow Download Mode was corrupted, possibly? But it goes into Download Mode fine, and appears to look right...
I've tried getting into recovery but can't. When it should load up TWRP (after telling the G2's "stock" recovery screen I do want to reset), I get the green spinning Android (not the red exclamation) for a second, then it tries to boot up.

}
Any advice would be appreciated as I've never run into this before.

So when the green Android popped up, I tried to hit a combination of the volume and power keys and WAS able to get into recovery. Unfortunately, it appears, somehow, TWRP was overwritten by the stock recovery. I have no idea how that could've happened. Or does stock recovery technically stay in place since this is "loki'd" and not actually unlocked? And if so, is there some way to get back to TWRP that I'm unaware of?

To add to the weirdness, when I plug it in to charge, it doesn't pull up the battery like it usually does when powered off, it just tries to boot up again...
If I could just get the computers to recognize it again...

Installing the LG PC Suite got my drivers to a point where it could recognize it while in Download Mode. MTP still didn't work, but that didn't matter for Download Mode. Not sure what happened, but at least I was able to flash it back again.

M3 - AP_S_ABNORMAL - bricked for good?

Hi
I managed to screw up by flashing a Nougat-to-Marshmallow downgrade (1st of two) update.app whilst still on Marshmallow.
M3 now shows Huawei logo in a loop.
Entered fastboot & rescue mode using Vol-/Power, and saw AP_S_ABNORMAL.
HiSuite system recovery procedure led to "Your device is not supported for system recovery".
Since my M3 bootloader is locked, I guess there is nothing more that can be done.
Still, if an experienced user has any angle, it would be most welcome!
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. My wife dropped her phone in some water so i disassembled the phone. It was also trying to upgrade the firmware as i was taking it apart but i pulled the battery from the device (I panicked). So i have got everything working again. but i can't boot into the device. It only displays the time after startup. I have tried factory resetting, dowloading firmware and putting it on the sdcard in the dload folder but, alas, so far no luck getting it going. I also entered the fastboot & rescue mode using Vol-/Power, and saw AP_S_ABNORMAL message. In addition to that it also said PHONE_LOCK and FRP_LOCK.

It's a pretty delicate device. I bricked mine with an unlocked bootloader. There's no low level chipset utilities like there is for the qualcomm chips. I'm so stupid I got the M5; won't be piddling with this one. If someone normal would only make a decent LTE TAB I'd gladly run screaming from huawei.

Try the "dload" method. Create a "dload" folder on the sdcard and put the second "update.app" into it. Now boot into recovery by shutting the device off and starting it with all 3 hardware buttons pressed.

I did this but it says update failed.

[HELP] Bricked PX5 HZC, can't open recovery.

Hey y'all. I tried updating my PX5 (I had the latest HZC mcu installed) 6.0.1 to android 8.0 using this guide
After booting into recovery, I tried to select the update.img file through the SD card but nothing happened.
After nearly giving up, I decided to try the same thing using USB drive. I was able to select the img file, they screen showed a few lines of text and just instantly turned off.
I tried to boot it, enter recovery mode or what not but nothing happened.
If I hold the RST button for 10s~ the non-phsyical side buttons blink for 5s, but nothing happens. I was not able to return back to the recovery mode.
Is there anything to do to solve this? My PX5 has 1 USB slot and 1 TF slot. I assume it does not have GPS sd slot so that's why the file could not be read, and either I had a corrupted file on my USB drive or it's just impossible to do through USB and it bricked my device.
I would appreciate any help with solving this brick, It was a mistake trying to upgrade from the first place..
If there is nothing to do, i'll just go and buy a new head unit, I wanted to upgrade because it lacked some features and the UI was very simple and outdated.
I don't have a photo of the MCU, but i had the MTCE_HZC_2.94b installed from here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/umCvHqCDzHccr
I also downloaded the update files from here, following the guide above.
Before updating the MCU, I had the MTCE_HZC_2.74 installed by stock. The MCU update worked well, the android upgrade failed utterly.
Now the unit won't turn on at all and there is a black screen. long pressing the RST button until the side buttons blink does not boot the device into recovery. seems like even recovery got corrupted somehow.
After some research, I found out that I can use OTG cable to flash the firmware and recovery using a PC.
Will I be able to flash android 8-10 directly instead of flashing the android 6? or I'd have to flash directly android 6?
If so, where can I get the frimware/img file i'll need to flash?
EDIT:
I tried to connect the system to a laptop using USB A to A cable but the rockchip tool did not recognize it..
any other ways or the unit is lost?
