Hi was gonna flash new firmware with odin since froyo was delayed 1month + more..
Now it wont turn on, is there any any any thing i can try to do to save my phone????
Remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, replace the battery, restart into download mode, reflash
Got into download mode, but i cant reflash, it says failed.
Which Firmware are you trying to flash, what options did you tick (repartition?)
If download mode works you are good. Reboot your PC, make sure Kies is not running. Try to flash to some knownly good ROM (JM2/JM7/JM8) - follow the corresponding instructions here in the posts to the letter. Make sure you use correct Odin version (not AT&T).
When i crashed the firmware i was using repartition tried install jm8
Ok will reboot comp do all this, brb like 5 min and ill let you know, Really Really gratefull for all helps
And there i got it working , thanks for making me calm saying it would work out when i was freaking out, 900$ is allot to loose ^^
And the reason i crashed it was that i didn follow the guide completely after reset came i waited a while , didn know it took that long for Pass so i unplugged to early, lesson learned and hopefully my sgs wont die by my hands

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

So here't the full background, it's not long, please read:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-bricked-my-sgs-wonder-what-i-did-wrong.2032/
Long story short, it looks like I bricked my SGS when trying to flash with Odin, even though I followed the tutorial very closely. When I power up the phone, it just gives me the image with phone, exclamation mark and PC on it. It does, however, go into download mode when powered up with VolDown and center button.
How do I save it? Do I need the JIG (God, please say no! )
Have you tried reflashing with odin.
Jig is only needed when you cant get into download mode.
Also i just looked inside the darky rom topic.
Have you flashed the jvk rom first with the bootloaders?
Edit: as said below. If you gonna reflash, flash a stock rom. Not the darky rom. First priority is to make your phone work.

Yeah, you have download mode.
Now, fire up Odin and load a few rom files into it, connect the phone and see if the PC still recognises it. (Do not flash, Just a test)
If so...
Flash a stock rom.
Somehow, I was able to flash it with Odin in Download Mode this time. Phew! I read somewhere that the flash might fail if You're using wrong USB port. At first I connected my phone to a eSATA/USB combo port, and for the second time (after brick) I tried a normal USB 2.0 port in my laptop. Maybe that's what made the difference, I have no idea.
Anyway, I'm running stock Samsung 2.3 rom and am trying to install Darky's 10.0 RC3 on it - I am running into some problems, but thankfully they're much less serious than the brick that I was able to fix.
Thanks for Your help!
I ran into similar problems last week. A rom wouldn't flash, so I gave it an hour and it proceeded nowhere. Had to pull the plug on it.
Sometimes it just takes a few times plugging and unplugging repeatedly until it just happens to get detected by Windows. Maybe just a bit of luck too
Congrats on your recovery.
Just wondering which stock 2.3 rom did you use and which Odin setting you used to get your phone up and working again.
Here is my post / problem, seems similar to yours
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020223
Thanks
I had the same issue like warnec on my first darkyy flash, finally everything went fine...don't worry!
just try to reflash with odin (maybe going for a stock version first is a good idea), be sure to do everything as mentioned in the guides out there. and be sure your computer works stable, maybe you want to quit some tasks in the background (however it should work even without but something crashed my odin once...)
Reflash with Odin to make your phone work again. I suggest using a stock 2.2.1/2.3.3 ROM. It is important that it consists of the 512.pit file, a PDA file, a Phone file and a CSC file. The ROM must have bootloaders included!
Now, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
Start Odin and load all the files. Tick 'Repartition'.
Start your phone in Download Mode by pressing Vol-Down, Home and Power.
Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say 'Added!'.
Now hit Start, wait 2-3 minutes until it is done and your phone should succesfully reboot!

Thanks I tried this and my phone just keeps flashing i9000m screen, then blank and then back to the i9000m screen. Looks like the phone is unusable.

does not sound very good...could you solve your problem yet?
Had to take the phone into Bell. Waiting on return of it and currently using a loaner HTC Desire Z from Bell.
I'm really sorry, I searched for solutions but didnt found one that fits my problem.
I'm a total newbie and ****ed up my phone in many ways. I started trying to install something it wasnt suposed to work on my phone (rom destinated to 9000 and stuff). I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000b (sold to latin amarica) and came from factory with android 2.2.
I'm now stuck with the black screen of death, no matter what I do I get this screen. It hapened after I tryied to install unsucessfully the original rom of the phone and odin presented me with an error.
Before I try any further I'd like your advices as how to procede regarding my 9000b. Pulling the battery out, putting it in again and holding either vol down or both volumes and either pluging the phone on usb or pressing power allways gives me the same result, the screen with phone exclamation triangle and pc.
So, before I buy a jig cable on ebay that will probably take 3 weeks to get here (Brasil) is there anything else I can try?
Please help me, I'm desperate and I dont want to take it to assistence, it would cost me much money and ruin all my courage in trying to use Roms.
Thanks alot and sorry for the bad english.
so did you have the 3 button combination before this happened ??
have you tried to charge the phone whilst powered off, then when the phone gets hot, try download mode then ? sometimes this works, as heat can help download mode work.
another thing that has worked for SOME people, is leaving the battery out for 10mins, doing the 3 button combo, and whilst holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery.
you could try these and see what happens,
And 3 weeks delivery for the JIG is a long time, couldnt you make one in less that 3 weeks.
If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed until you get your hands on a jig, simple as that. Just wait. Patience is a virtue.
Thanks in advance for the quick reply guys, I ordered the jig, estimated 20 days, usualy it takes the same amount from the central postal ofice to my home since they allways restrict packages from hong kong. I'm considering making one but I'm a total denial in eletronics.
I was able to get to download mode before this problem yes. I would just hold down vol and center key and then power. Now even when I plug it in to charge I get the screen with the exclamation.
Any more sugestions?
no other suggestions other than whats listed above
looks like you will have to wait for the JIG to arrive.
Loner-phone here you come lol
Then I have a couple of questions.
1) Since I plut it in directly on the power and still recive the same screen is the phone still charging? Or once the battery is over I'm ****ed up twice?
2) Is there any chance that the jig wont work or I in some way ****ed up my I-9000b permanently?
3) After I make/get a jig how should I procede? I heard about one-click odin, but apears that its for another model of phone, and since I got on all this trouble exactly for trying to do things to my phone that were suposed to be only for another model, I'm kind of lost.
Inputs?
Thank you all for already awnsering my questions.
1) the system is corrupted so the charging indicator will be too - thus leading to Phone ! PC image - this is the only image the phone can now produce
2) The 'JIG' has a 100% success rate - providing that the motherboard is not fried - which it isnt as it still shows an image
3) the jig is just a modified USB, just plug it into the phone whilst powered off and download mode will appear, and then you just attach your genuine USB cable and flash stock ROM thru ODIN.
azzledazzle Thank you very much for your patience, but since I`m a total newbie to all this, some of your awnsers I didnt understood fully, do you care explain me better?
Regarding question 1) The power indicator is corrupted, ok. But this means if my battery die out of usage it wont charge again or just that the indicator wont show that is charging but the battery actualy is charging?
and for question 3) Is ther any tutorial directed to I-9000 on how to use odin to flash a stock ROM ? like baby steps? After all that I'm even afraid to turn the phone on, so I would like to know exactly what to do. I`m cosindering asking someone with technical skills to help me on a home made jig.
oh im sorry, i get carried away sometimes.
1) i assume the battery will be charging yes. only the phone will not be able to show this due to the corruption.
2) when you have made / bought a JIG (link below) you ideally want to flash a Stock ROM, you can get this from samfirmware (link below) and also on this site is a tutorial on how to use ODIN, its fairly easy if you just read the instructions provided.

Its a miracle, somehow I managed to get into download mode. But I'm still a bit insecure
Here is the deal, I dowloaded a .tar file that alledgedly from my carrier and for my country. The tar is named JPA_JP3_JPA.
Inside the file there are cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zimage
But what should I put where on ODIN if I only have PIT PDA PHONE and CSC?
And how can I discover if I should use pit 512 or 803?
Should I consider a master clear setting?
the file you downloaded is a full firmware compressed into 1 .tar file.
so in odin load the .tar file into PDA section and THATS IT !!
DO NOT USE PIT WITH THIS FILE.
press start and enjoy
PS do a factory reset after the flash

Hello all!
I've got my hands on a GT-I9000 today.
It's got 2.3.3 Android on it.
Wanting to install CM7, I was first of all trying to root it.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I downloaded heimdall-frontend and the "Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery".
When I put my phone into DL Mode and connect it to my Mac, I can't write the image to it.
Heimdall is failing with "Failed to receive device info response!"
What do you ppl suggest me to do now?
Thanks,
F.
Try to flash with Windows!

Indeed I now managed to get Windows XP PC.
one trouble still remains: after rooting the device remains in an infinite reboot loop!!!
It only stops when WiFi is disabled.
Any help bout this?
Or at least any means to get back to a factory ROM?
I got 2.3.3 before flashing...
Thanks!
Try to flash the nightly again, should solve the bootloop-issue.
Or you can wipe cache/dalvik cache, this helped me too.

Just take the latest nightly. To wipe the cache/dalvik cache you have to boot into recovery (hold volume UP + home button + power button.

was wanting to install serendipity 6.4 on my phone and like a dumb ass i left my phone in mass storage mode instead of usb debugging mode when i started odin, i pulled my battery and now i have the phone+computer image and canot get it into download mode, am i completely screwed and if not can anyone kindly guide me through what to do, its my first time rooting
odin uses download mode not debugging or mass storage...
dunno what you think you are talking about there...
installing serindipity has nothing to do with rooting.
rooting and installing roms are 2 different things.
you should have READ before touching your phone.
take out battery count to 5 put back in
hold both volume buttons,
plug in USB, KEEP BUTTONS HELD until you see BIG triangle
this is download mode.
go read instructions to fix yourself from here.
go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions go read instructions
are you getting the hint?
programming a phone (or anything) cannot be learned in 10 minutes
...i feel even more dumb now...thank you for your quick reply tho, once at this stage do i have to continue with the flash back to stock to be able to use my phone again?
that would be your best bet.
start from scratch
read then flash.

better luck next round
ok, does odin normally take a while to go back to stock? when i tried it earlier the progress bar never would move so after about 15 min i just pulled the plug
yeah odin can lock up... you dont have much of a choice but to unplug
were you using the one-click odin i linked you to?
or the other full odin flasher?
either way just try again....
i was using one click, how long should i wait before i unplug and try again?
5 minutes max...
click start not master clear...
master clear will wipe your SD card and wipe user apps and data, and must be done with the phone booted up normally and debugging on.
flash to stock from download mode.
what can i do if it continues not to work? and yea i know not to click master clear
run Odin as administrator...
just keep trying, or try another computer....
remember to install drivers...
ok, if worst comes to worst and odin just wont work no matter what i do, what do i do?
if you can get into donwload mode there is no reason you shouldnt be able to get back to stock...
but... how long have you had the phone?
there is 30 day instore replacement
or 1 year warranty exchange...
now if your phone all of a sudden *no longer turns on* and for some reason *will NEVER work again* they cant prove you voided your warranty... and will fix it.
think speaker magnets or a short 1 or 2 second burst in the mic. dont want physical damage but you want it to stop working. FOREVER.
then play dumb... " i dunno just stopped working... "
got it for christmas, and yea i can get it into download mode, would trying the odin that flashes back to 2.2 be worth a shot or do i have to use the 2.1 one that you linked me?
well the 2.2 one click is a beta 2.2... and has 3e recovery... theres plenty of fixes for 3e though.
im trying to find another odin for you...
alright thank you
removed.....
nvm it is 1010, so just follow that and i will be at full stock and from there i can go ahead and flash serendipity?
wait... im looking for something better... damn americans... i have all my links bookmarked... lol
I FOUND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
alright thank you very much just one last question for ya, when i do this if i decide not to go to a custom rom can i use the kies program and upgrade back to 2.2?
Hi
So here it is: I tried flashing cwm recovery via odin but the phone got disconnected in the process. I can boot into download by using usb jig. What do i need to do to get back at least the stock phone?

So I did everything U sad in the tutorial but ODIN seems to be stuck. Downloaded something called "amss" took 15 min and says 1/7 done. Ever since its trying to download "adsp". Its been over an hour and nothing is happening. When the phone got bricked I wasnt be able to boot it in recovery either. All I got was an icon of a connection between phone and PC. How long should I wait for ODIN? Is there anything else I can try after?

Okay you can do the following thinfs
- reboot pc and phone again and try it
- download broodrom rc 5 try to flash this (the same way as stock) and perform a factory reset in the recovery and flash stock again
(will take some time)
If you encounter anything else let me know

Thank you for all your help so far, I decided to keep the PC running for the night so odin can have all night trying (95 min now) and see what happened in the morning. If nothing then I try that broodrom tomorrow. I let you know how it turns out.
A bit a waste of time flashing broodrom takes about 20 min and believe me if you let Odin run all night it won't change a thing. Try the above first i can almost guarantee it fixes the issue
Well I did it thanks to your guide. It was late and I was tired so I went to sleep but when I woke up it was done. Im back to stock. Installing CWM via ODIN got me in trouble in the first place so I did that too from stock recovery. Now I have CWM. And now that I know how to go back I might try that Brood rom U mentioned. Big thanx to you! :good:
You're very welcome. Im glad it worked
