[ala slipknot]

Hello,
i have a samsung galaxy S1 with cyanogenmod, and i don't know what happened but when i turn on the phone it just stay on the loading screen, something like this : just a black screen with that little loading icon in it (without animation) i tried running both recovery and downloading mode (V+/v-,menu,Power) but nothing works too, and there is another strange behavior, sometimes, it show me the "Downloading.... do not turn off target !!! " message, when it is in that screen, the pc does recognies the samsung driver but i have no access to it, and Odin doesn't find the device

any advice please ??

Does appear that either the ROM has had a crash or even the kernel.

Your going to need to get into either your custom recovery to wipe and reflash the ROM or Odin to flash back to stock.

When you attempt to use Odin/Download Mode, next time try this...

Pull the battery out of the device and leave it out.

Connect the device via cable to computer.

Put it into download mode (Odin mode)

Now see if Odin recognizes it (Yellow Box will light up in Odin)

If this happens your good to flash the factory TAR package to restore it back to stock to get out of this mess.

UPDATE :
after charging it for few hours (wall) the phone now isn't stack in the loading screen, instead it goes directly to "Download Mode" (Downloading ... Do not turn off Target !!!)
when i plug it to the pc, it install a driver then a message (windows driver) "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device Ready to use"
the bad new is that Odin doesn't recognize the device :/

Pull the battery out of the device and leave it out.

do you mean turning on the phone without a battery ? just with cable plugged to the pc ?? is that possible ?? cause the phone doesn't work at all

thank you

Yes if you pull the battery out and leave it out, then plug in your USB cable to your computer then power it into download mode it should work. This was an old trick with the older Samsung devices and many times would help with issues in Odin.
