Hi Everyone,
Need help with my I9100 which doesn't boot. I got this phone yesterday and was using it fine. Today i installed Kies and it prompted to upgrade firmware. I researched and found that it had improvements in battery life and decided to go for it. It downloaded the firmware and everything went fine until it prompted saying firmware upgrade failed and asked me to do firmware emergency recovery.
I googled to see more info regarding this error and couldnt get much information. Decided to go ahead with recovery as instructed. Again i got error " Firmware emergency recovery stopped due to GT-I9199 error". If the problem persistes please contact samsung service center.
Please suggest if this is recoverable error and any links to proceed and have a working phone.
Currently when i power on, i get a logo of phone connected to PC with yellow bang in middle. Any pointers much appreciated....
Thanks.
Don't worry, I think you can fix this yourself using ODIN. I mean, flash a custom rom through Download mode. (Turn the phone off, hold Volume Down + Home + Power for 4 seconds)
In this mode you can flash any kind of rom without doing your phone any harm. Just go to the Rom Development forum and choose your rom. I suggest Lightning Rom, because it uses ODIN, and has a very well-explained tutorial.
You can also flash a stock rom, you can get it from the Stock Rom thread, and flash that through ODIN.
Or get it fixed by Samsung and wait two weeks. (where they use exactly the same program, ODIN, to reflash the stock rom)
Look here
And here
And finally here
If all that doesn't work, take it back to samsung.
Also, KIES is a PoS, use Odin in future
Yep, KIES may look all official and reliable, but it actually seems to brick some SGS2's.
Thanks for the info's. Will try them and update soon.
No luck. I tried multiple times to update ROM using ODIN in download mode. Everytime it says NAND write operation failed and comes out. I am searching to see if any other option left before i take it back to samsung
Don't forget to try it with a different computer. Sometimes it's not the phone, it's the PC or the USB port.
Also, you can try flashing with Heimdall instead of Odin.
First of all;
Yellow triangle means you are running custom kernel/rom.
Press home+volume down and then power, to get into download mode , on your phone. If that works, take battery out, to stop it.
Go to:
Samfirmware.com
Download firmware from there. It is a rar file, I think. Open rar file to see what is in. 5 files? The biggest file has all of the other files in it.
Install via Odin. Select pda in Odin and select the biggest file from the rar.
Put your phone into download mode, connect usb and run Odin.

Make sure that all kies processes are closed or odin will fail.

You can buy a usb jig, specially designed to put you phone into download mode. Search for it on ebay. Take the battery out, plug in usb jig, replace battery and it should boot into download mode. If it does not, then the phone is dead.

So this phone is really frustrating me...
I tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
I think I make all the step correctly.
1. Installed drivers on my pc.
2. Downloaded 3 files: ODIN, PIT and PDA.
3. Put the Vibrant on Download mode.
4. ODIN detected it, I selected the 2 files... I tried with RePartition check and uncheck...
5. Then hit start, everything runs fine and ODIN indicate PASS.
But... Still boot looping...
When I boot to recovery I have the original recovery (2e).
Can someone help me please? Im really frustrated.
All of this begin because I made a mistake and used a Samsung Galaxy S 4G rom to flash it using ODIN...
I know it has solution because its boot looping.
Best regards,
Omar
I'll link you to some files that may do a better job. I can't tell for sure if you're actually using the right files to flash your phone back to stock or not. Chances are, you're not. Check your messages, and I'll link you to the files in my Dropbox to download.
can you show links here or link me as well. I am having the same problem and i have tried flashing a whole bunch of vibrant roms/kernels but cant stop the phone from boot looping. Thank you.
I would also like to get these files, having the same problem and tried the same methods to fix it and nothing...
Once you got to the point to boot up, did wipe Dalvik, cache and reset first and then try to boot? This is ususally the reason for bootloops.
For some reason I can't get into recovery (holding the 3 buttons) now... I can get to download mode, though.
This phone was bricked and could restore the bootloader with a Riff Box. Now, after the Vibrant screen, the phone turns off.
I have Samsung Galaxy i9000. I have comfused and do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989&page=1 and now the phone showing the white screen with at&t logo and goes nowhere! Omg.....what i must do now to ge the phone working again? I didn't see that is for the captivate only! Help me pls, i'm desperate! What i must do to get the phone work again?????
You probably have to SBF and start over from scratch...did you have any nandroid backups? Are you on custom rom?
I don't have any backup (if you mean my files i have save them on pc before the problem). And i was rooted, and i have remove the root, but in about phone was said:
Filmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJS8
And now i have done this i said in the start and i have problem. What is the SBF? You can explain me please what i must do? Thanks.
Basically you have to do a HARD RESET and reinstall android OS, im coming from motorola phones and when they get locked up that bad you have to do a hard reset then reinstall the android OS im not sure how it works on samsung have you tried over in the samsung forums? Have you tried doing a hard reset?
No! I don't know how to do it. You can explain me please? Even if i think that will not work (because the download mode is not working!)
Check these links out on how to do a hard reset basically you power the phone up holding a certain combination of power and volume buttons attached are links to a guide and video of how to do it...give that a try and let me know if that helps....basically its a factory reset so all info is lost...i think that link you tried above in your post is not for your device.
Try These...

I have tried my friend, but i can't move on to the second step, because the same white screen with logo at&t appears and is flashing...I can't escape from this screen..
even if you remove the battery? Can you get it to shut-off?
I have tried remove the battery, connect it to pc and do the step but is not showing nothing!
Take out the battery, leave it out for 30sec, reinsert it and hold the [vol+]+[home]+[power] untill the first bootscreen apears. Then you are in recovery mode and can perform a wipe/factory reset.
If this does not bring up your device you need to download odin, and a firmware rom, boot your device with [vol-]+[home]+[power] (dont connect to pc until odin is set up and ready to flash) this brings you to download mode then select the firmware image in odin as pda (most likely you need to unzip first, the firmware is called xxjvt...tar) close all kies related stuff in taskmanager, now connect your phone to pc and wait for odin to show 'added' in console box. Now click start, wait for your device to reboot. Done.

have you ever been able to enter recovery using that 3 button combo? there are devices that have those disabled. in that case a usb jig is the only help.
after getting it going i highly recommend to enable the 3bc with a different bootloader, there is also info in the GalaxyS Subforum.
Ok. My only hope is Jig now. I hope will work and for me.
Jig after very one and half week came! I have done all and it's all ok now. Thanks for the help buddies!
I rooted my device with superoneclick, got the 3e recovery, then got the CWM recovery for galaxyS i9000 through ROM manager(working fine), and then rebooted into recovery and flashed carbonROM for 4.2.2 (the .zip file), along with Gapps for 4.2.2. Now it's stuck at the samsung screen, I can't boot into recovery, taking out the battery doesn't help, and the power button is NOT jammed. I can't restore the backup that I made because I can't go into recovery and my computer is not detecting the device (with all the proper drivers installed). I don't know what to do. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
I don't care about the user data (including contacts, messages, etc) that much, if it needs to be wiped. I only want my phone back, with or without the ROM.

Are you still able to get into Download mode? If so then you can use Odin to re-flash the stock factory ROM that came with your phone. I would recommend taking a look at this guide here as well as this video guide here.

the .zip file in the first link is "unavailable in [my] geographical area. I can't use the youtube guide because i can't get into download mode. After not having touched it in several hours, I think the battery ran out, and if I plug it back in, it shows a loading icon that's stuck.
EDIT: I got it to get into download mode, but Odin won't detect it with the COM## thing. I can add the infuse.pit and the PDA md5 thing, but when I start it, it doesn't do anything.

Make sure you have the USB drivers for your phone installed, you can download the drivers for your phone from here. Also before you flash anything to your phone it is essential that is has enough battery charge (70%+ to be on the safe side).
Thanks for all the help! I finally got it to detect my device in Odin. Turns out my drivers weren't working properly, so I re-installed them. It's in the process of reverting to stock now. You are a lifesaver!

did you flash the good firmware? the Galaxy s2 plus firmware and not the galaxy s2 firmware cause the phones are a bit different
and much people are doing that
I can't even flash any rom
...
The phone won't get in download mode but when I try t get and get the ani_upload_ jpg error it gets stuck at setup connection in Odin
Is theres any way to flash. A firmware with Omap ? Or kernel or anything that would make the phone gets on download mode

i don't really know much things but i think the .pit file was going to be flashed but you need to repartition to do it so if you
and last option is to check this btw i know you have a problem with download mode but what says if you enter recovery mode with
volume button up+Homebutton and 3 seconds power button?
check also this link out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153
also try reinstalling the usb drivers
since your phone still can boot up i think the phone is soft bricked

so you have now managed to get to odin and flashed the recovery.
if so if you install the rom and like that don't forget to wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
efs has to do with baseband imei and like that and blackclouds if you manage to get into odin then i would say to flash the original stock firmware if the device is charged 100% and then later to flash philz kernel to root and then to install custom rom and remove yellow triangle with chainfire's app.
See further for Efs by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 hope i could help you a bit without owning a Plus.
