Hi guys,
I think I possibly screwed up my wounderful sgs i9000 european edition
First of all I have to tell you how I came to this...
A long long time ago, today afternoon 17 o'clock european time I wanted to test the great CM7 and so I did, of course first I failed to flash it but then it worked. The phone worked fine but there came the point when I wanted to use samsung's firmware again, cause it has the apps I love.
So I just connected my phone with Odin and tried to flash a original Firmware, I think it was JS7. It worked, but then my phone didnt boot after the flash.
So I managed to make the phone boot into download mode, what is the only thing that works at the moment.
So I connected it again and tried to flash my phone one more time but then it didnt work
Odin stuck at the line "set pit-file" or somethin like that.
Well. What could I do? Reconnect and try to reflash and it doesnt work again
Do you know, guys, what I could do? I need my phone every day but atm it cant be flashed
Now I tried to reflash it again and I stuck at the line "SetupConnection.."
Maybe I should try to flash another kernel and try to flash a custom rom trough CWM? Maybe that would be the key for me?
My phone stuck at "SetupConnection.." since 10 minutes or so
PLS help me
best regards,
alex
is recovery mode working ?? if so do a full factory reset.
Get your self a firmware with all 3 files and PIT. something old like JM8 or even back to eclair.. This should contain the dbdata which ive had trouble with in the past.
When you have all that, connect your phone to odin and try again, Make sure kies IS NOT running (even in the icon tray) and make sure your drivers are upto date.
If download mode works, your phone will survive. As for Odin sticking on 'Setup Connection' That's something to do with the phone connecting to the PC.. Maybe try another USB port, or like mentioned previously, Kies running or out of date drivers ????
Anyway try the above steps. and post back your results.
Oh dont forget to make sure RE-PARTITION is CHECKED when your using Odin.
well, thank you very much for the useful information
at first I tried to flash my phone at my laptop, then on a pc, but it just didnt work
but now I 'm succefully flashing it again trough my laptop and hopefully it will work again
And yeah, DL Mode works fine, but nothing other
Well, seems to be that my phone just was flashed succefully
Damn, I was so scared that I have to return the phone to the reseller
Wonderful, it boots again
I wont take it easy as before with the flashing.
Sorry for the trouble created by me
And thanks again
gn8 (from my time zone) and best regards

Hello, I own a galaxy tab 7" latin american version for a couple months, everything was running good, stock rom/rooted.
2 weeks ago it stopped reading any sim card, I tried to fix that problem by going back to unrooted with superoneclick, and I ended up fudging everything instead.
The problem is:
Im stuck at the "(Phone)....!...(PC)" screen, and it's blinking, I've already downloaded ODIN tool and Heimdall's Oneclick Unbrick tool.
This is the screen I'm getting
Which none of those I've succeded unbricking the tab.
Please help me, what can I do?
Please help!
Try using odin, to flash this rom
P1000N: http://www.multiupload.com/EUZS7V21L6.
P1000L: http://www.multiupload.com/SZZZFK8GMO
PIT file: http://www.multiupload.com/ZL9HDOGI5V
Repartition checked.
After flashing the correct rom enter to download mode again and flash this http://www.multiupload.com/E0CQPPZCMN in odin without pit file and repartition unchecked, do a wipe cache and dalvik. then restart to system.
I softbricked my tab some couple times and this metod always works for me. (P1000N)
Thanks for the stock rom Rafa, the thing is, ODIN doesnt recognize the tab, when I plug it to the wall charger, it turns on the brick screen, and it is blinking.
Thats the part that really worries me, the blinking part...
When I plug again the tab to the computer, it doesnt turn on the same screen

I've once had my tab was showing a error triangle with connection problem from tab to pc -so i've thought "rigth just gonna flash it like i've done so many times".
When i've connected the tab to my pc odin didn't recognise it either. Though i've just selected my pit tar and so on and flashed it anyway, that little blue bar showed up on the tablets screen, and then it was flashing.
Try see if you're able to pull of the same.
Cheers, jakk212
But the COM port did recognize the tab??
Hello,
I have the same problem... did you find already a solution?
Thanks!

thank you i had the same problem with my tab from claro el salvador and now is working!
anyone else has any input on this?
1-Does Windows detect the tab?, check in hardware manager, see if listed.
2-try flashing using Odin or heimdall, make sure you use the correct version of Odin , I use the 1.7 and I don't have problems.
3-if Odin detect it do the steps above.

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.
Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?
Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.
I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .
If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.
phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.
This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!
GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!
Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.
Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.
It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.
I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well
You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.
Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.
Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.
Well had a text back today to say my phone has been despatched, so here is hoping that its fixed.
It came back from the repair centre yesterday with a note saying a part had been replaced,
no costs for me, yippeeeeeeee.
Dear fellows,
I need your help. My colleague has some how bricked his Galaxy I9000 device. As per discussion he said he tried to upgrade the rom and accidently the rom he selected for flash via odine was for I9003 which is a variant of Galaxy S line of product.
Now what happened is the phone is completely dead no download mode nothing its all dead. I prepared a USB Jig and plugged in and followed our expert's guidelines but still no success. The device is still dead. One hunch of mine was drained battery and I put it on charging and observed the back (camera side) was slightly heating up when i checked after couple of hour of charging but the situation remained the same.
Any suggestion to recover this device and what has happened to the device? Is the samsung phone are so fragile? Im personally using Xperia X10i and never faced such problem even bricked its all recoverable via software workarounds.
Please suggest
Thanks Faisal
well i dont know if this will help but ill give it a try. when you plug the phone into the computer does the computer recognize the device? if it does see if it recognizes in odin. if thats all good in odin (gives you a port number) then to flash these files http://www.mediafire.com/?34oxweahfpy53dj
just un rar and follow readme. this may not work for you but a while back i hd a simular problem and this is how i fixed it so try it see if it works. If it does hit thanks.
ps this has also worked on different devices with simular problems but i did it with different files(the ones meant for the proper device form samfirmware.com)
Good Luck!
try option bootloader flash in odin, if you flash a firmware package.
should be recoverable for sure
last resort would be Unbrickable mod
the files i posted will flash bootloaders at the sme time. At least thats what i think the sbl file that it flashes is
How can he flash via odin when he can't even get into download mode??
Anyways I think u gotta replace jtag now..
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS

well if you read what i posted i clearly said that i had simular problems, meaning ive been to the point where i couldnt get into dl mode or recovery and that is how i fixed it. heres a example; start to flash via odin and unplug while its flashing. Then try to go into dl mode or recovery. You cant! it scared the crap out of me, so i didnt give up and all i had to do is plug it into the computer and i recognized it in odin. so i flashed and there i had it it was fixed
Thanks for responses
Hi Guys,
thanks for responses but when the device is plugged with PC no activity at all. Fully dead
My colleague acquired repair services and recovered the phone because I dont have JTAG/RIFF with me.
Unbrickable mod was hard to try specially modification by shorting resistors from device motherboard.
Thanks
Faisal
SGS i9000b hard bricked and dead

I didnt understand your messege. Whats a JTAG/RIFF. Should I try the USB Jig on mine?
I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG?
Howdy there.
First off, this is not "just another bricked Note thread".
I got this thing from a friend who did not have a clue what he did with it, but he told me he tried to "root it or something" He didn't have any files left, or any memory what he used.
I have for weeks tried every single trick in the book, followed every tutorial, and it shows no sign of coming to life any time soon.
When I got it, it just got stuck on the Samsung flash screen. I couldn't get into any sort of recovery, but I got into download mode, so I tried reflashing the stock firmware with ODIN, but it got stuck on NAND WRITE START for 2 hours, and then failed. All Kies processes were killed, I double checked.
After that, it only shows the "Firmware update failed, start emergency recovery mode in kies"
Kies does not support initialization for N7000, doubted it would have worked anyways.
After this, I went on to read about the brick bug for N7000
Since then I have tried repartitioning the device with all kinds of pit files, I have tried installing about 20 different firmwares, I have tried installing just a kernel, both stock and others, and NOTHING works.
Some pit files get stuck in DO NOT TURN OFF DEVICE for 6-24 hours, until I have disconnected or battery has run out, and some fail by themselves after 20 minutes.
Firmwares get stuck at NAND WRITE START, and fail after about an hour
Kernels fill up the bar with the green dots showing it's doing something but as soon as the log says "NAND Write Start" it gets stuck.
Is there ANYTHING still worth testing, before throwing it in the well? I will not go to a service center and pay to fix a spare phone that will lay in a box until I MIGHT need it some day.
It doesn't matter if my storage space goes down to only 500mb space with some sort of repartitioning, nothing matters. I just want it to run.
I do not have any recovery, and I haven't successfully installed any,
Basically the only thing I can do, is get to Download mode, and the only program so far finding it is ODIN.
I am very thankful for any help, and don't hesitate checking if I forgot something very basic, I might just as well have forgot something very important, but I feel I have tried everything.
Thank you!

It is exactly this: just another bricked Note thread.

Well, okay then. Thanks for clearing that up.
I just figured that it's something worse since NOTHING works, hence the "not just another" meaning "not just the same as the others". Atleast I thought it meant that. Perhaps my English isn't so good. Oh well.
I have read dozens of other threads about this where people have been able to get into recovery mode, repartition, or flash a new kernel, or at least SOMETHING, but mine just blocks everything.
-Jimi
Okay then, let's simplify the question/request.
Is there ANY way at all to scan or/and repartition my emmc?
WITHOUT a recovery.
WITHOUT it accepting anything through ODIN, not even the standard pit file, or any of the custom ones I have tried from another thread.
WITHOUT adb.
I can only get to Download Mode.
Heimdall seemed to understand my phone a bit, but couldn't flash anything.
Kernels got stuck at 100%
Factoryfs got stuck at 4%
Recovery got an error "finishing the packet" or something.
Could I use Heimdall to scan or repartition my emmc maybe?
If you are unable to Odin flash a recovery or stock rom then there's no other way. If you found other methods but is still unsuccessful then your phone is dead anyways.
I have seen the NAND write stuck error sometimes goes away on a different PC. If the memory is not already broken but worth a try.. Also use original USB cable, main PC usb port, odin 1.85.

Nah, I think the memory is broken.
I have only tested with odin 1.75, but on 3 different PCs
My laptop with Win 8.1
My old computer with XP
And my work computer with Win 7 home
Still, I do not want to give up!
In my frustration I started to flash everything and anything that just had a N7000 tag on it, and somehow somewhere something happened.
I do not have the "firmware failed, use kies recovery" message anymore.
I am instead getting the Samsung splash screen, but it freezes there, I can't do anything.
And also, if my device is off, I can charge it! The battery shows up, but then it freezes with the circle in it before it fills with green to show how much it is charged, but now it atleast accepts charge. Before it didn't.
But I still wonder if I could not scan and repartition my phone with anything else than recovery mode? Perhaps I could flash a repartitioned custom Pit file with Odin if I could just scan it somehow?
I got a similar problem with my uncle's Note. It was working fine all these years, until last month when I rooted it to upgrade it to 5.1. The phone worked for over a month post upgrading.
However, now, when I power it up, nothing happens, absolutely nothing. If I connect it to a power source, the offline battery charging symbol comes up saying 100%. Recovery mode doesnot work, though I can go in Download mode.
I tried a couple of stock ROM images through ODIN. They were flashed successfully, but the issue persists. Looks like another dead Note.

Thanks for your reply. Couldn't check it until last night. I was running NightOwl when this happened. Last night, I thought something and flashed the same Philz recovery through Odin and some how it worked.
I have started realizing that it is a hardware issue, since the device does not start without being connected to a power source. 1 out of 20 tries take me into recovery (of course while the device is connected to the charger, or else the screen is always black).
However, the recovery doesn't stay too long. I tried flashing a newer version of NightOwl, but while the recovery is still opening the package, the phone restarts .
One weird thing is that the phone doesn't starts without being connected to the PC or the charger. But when connected, within seconds, the offline charging screen says 100%, which is making me believe something is wrong with the hardware.
Part of the "hardware" is your battery...
