[Q] My SGS i9000 seems to be dead. Please help me :'/

Alright
First of all i would like to say that im a completly noob in android OS and that i possiblely have done something idiotic!
So.. was i getting annoyed by a slow phone (have voodoo lagfix installed and set to be ON. It seems to work like ****!)
I rebooted into recovery mode and entered advanced settings and i was curios about the partition setting.
Then i picked "partition" and set it be on "4096MB" and at last i picked it to be "ON"
I finished it and reboot the phone.
Now i only getting the startup logo and nothing happens.
I have the 3 button fix installed to be sure i can get into recovery mode again, and i have tested it and it WAS working.
Now it does not work with the Vol up+Home+Power button combination.
I can get 3 different screens like the startup logo, the download mode and the battery charging logo, which not showing any sign on charging.
instead it show the loading circle, frozen on the charging logo.
So what can i do ? - I really really hope there is a solution on this huge problem, because it is worthless now and i only got this phone less the a month.
Thank you.

You'll likely need to flash back to your stock firmware and start over (meaning you loose all data on your internal memory).
Do you know how to use odin? Do you know where to find your stock firmware? I'm on my phone right notes so can't provide any links but you can check the reference guide thread in the i9000 general forum (it's one of the stickied threads) on how to flash firmwares. You can find your stock firmware on http://samfirmware.com

Finally somebody replied back. Its been going on for days, I've removed the battery, placed it back, same thing.
Also, sorry but I have no idea how to flash something. How do I do it? And it doesn't even go past it.

I should spend on time in this sub-forum.
If you have flash a custom ROM then just reflash it or try another ROM.
It's highly, highly unlikely that your phone it breaked so don't worry about.

I have never flashed a custom rom. I don't even know how to flash in the first place.

turn off hp.try to hold up-dpad(towards screen) button and switch on your milestone.
then you see black screen written Bootloader.
battery OK.
OK to program
connect USB
data cable.
if you can go into this screen, then u can start to learn to flash vulnerable recovery.
and ready to install custom room.
google around on how to instal vulnerable recovery for milestone .

Although you get a black screen on boot, it might still be working....
Chubbyflood,
If you are in the same situation as I am then the tab is still working, you are just getting black screen on boot up. It played tricks on me for ages when I was first rooting by tablet; but it turned out it is just the boot up screen that isn't showing.
This is my situation:
-Press and hold Power button to turn on.
-I see the Galaxy Tab / Samsung initial boot image for about 1 second, and also hear the "boot chime"
-Then the screen goes completely blank (but you can tell it is still on with a little light showing.
-The four "hard button" lights will light up briefly a couple times
-Wait approximately 30 seconds to a minute (to be safe and give the tablet time to boot up - it is actually booting up)
-Tab the Power button once, to turn the tablet off (now the screen is clearly off)
-Tab the Power button again, and the tablet will be up and running as normal.
I am guessing the boot animation / images are failing in some way, but the tablet is booting up as normal.
I've just learned to live with it, because I haven't had a chance to figure out what's going on, but it honestly took me a good hour or so, and a few (unnecessary) flashes, before I realized the thing was up and running fine, it just need to have the button pressed on and off.
One final thing to mention; don't have the tablet plugged into anything. I seem to remember leaving it plugged into the PC didn't help (I think).
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers
Ed.

Has your situation been resolved?
I am in the same boat. What I have done to temporarily fix this was to Flash a ROM that uses Hemdall and it will boot as flukebu stated but only with the Galaxy Cubed ROM.
I cannot get the factory files to boot as you have stated.
I have continually tried to return to stock using the files provided on this forum and all "unbrick" posts.
While flashing the stock images everything completes and works well. The device reboots and the Samsung Splash screen appears. Once it appears it disappears and scrambles the screen. I believe it then goes into a bootloop which easily enough I could access factory recovery to correct but when I do attempt to access factory recovery the screen is as posted above (black but illuminated).
Once I flashed Galaxy Cubed ROM and it booted I hit the power button and the locksreen appeared. I can tell you I was excited but there are some issues with that ROM I have not tried to correct yet because my main goal is to return to stock.
Even with this ROM working correctly I have attempted to access CWM once installed to complete a Data Wipe and that does not show up either.
I would really like to find a solution to this I want to return to stock and not have this custom ROM running.

[Q] S3 Mini Does Not Turn On, Cannot Boot Into Recovery or Download Modes

I have seen a lot of threads on similar problems, but none of them seem to have a fix for me. So, here I am!
A few weeks back, I flashed a custom CM11 ROM to my phone, and it went through without a hitch. The phone did have a few problems, but the dev had mentioned that the ROM had a few bugs, so I didnt think much of it. The phone screen would turn off at random, and if i plugged in the phone while it was not turned on, it would get stuck at the loading screen that precede the battery animation. Like I said, I didn't make much of these.
The dev released the newest update yesterday, so I downloaded it, and when I tried to boot my phone into recovery, the s3 mini splash screen came up for a few seconds, then the phone turned off. This happened several times, even when I tried to turn it on in download mode.
I decided to use Terminal Emulator to turn on recovery, but when I tried to turn my phone on normally, the same thing happened (s3 mini splash screen, then turned off).
I saw other threads on the same matter, but they were mostly due to a pressed-in power button, or were solved with steps that didnt work out for me. Please advise!!!

I have the same problem, since two weeks the phone was stuck on the pre-charging logo loading.
This morning the phone showed the same problem of polski, but i can boot in recovery and in download mode.
Every time i try to change something, the phone's situation worsens.
First the phone reboots 5 seconds after the system completely boots.
After a nandroid restore the phone was stuck in S3 mini logo
After that i tried another nandroid restore and it failed.
The phone keep restart, anyway.

Sorry for double-posting, anyway i tried a way to resolve and it had been successful.
I downloaded original firmware from samsung site (obiouvsly the correct one) and i flashed it with odin.
After that i re-flashed Maclaw's CM11 by odin and now the phone work well

First of all do you have a Custom Recovery installed??
If you don't this won't work.
(This happened to me on my S3.
I was using pimp my ROM and upon reboot, turned of after splash screen)
My way to fix this was:
•Download another ROM (for your device) (using a PC or another Android Phone) move downloaded ROM to External SD Card
•Insert External SD card back into Galaxy S3 Android Phone (or you can move ROM file to Internal SD Card if your using a PC)
•Boot into recovery mode.
Turn phone off
Press & hold Power Button, Volume Up & Home Button.
•Factory Reset
•Flash ROM from External or Internal depending on way used.
•Reboot
•Profit

URGENT - Need help with S5570

Hey guys
Samsung Galaxy Mini 5570 is a pretty old device now and definitely not worth to talk about, but It's for my aunt and she said i HAVE to fix it otherwise she will kick my butt.
This is the whole story:
Phone was running a very low android version (it was 2.1 or something) that i could barely install apps on it (Just installed WhatsApp), I decided to upgrade it to a higher version so i could install other applications like Line and Telegram for her, so basically i had to flash CWM file first because it was required, I flashed it using this link:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570/
They said flash the cwm file and factory reset your phone but i flashed the cwm file and rebooted my phone without factory reset, everything was working fine :good: but i decided to follow the instruction so i rebooted into the recovery mode and factory reseted my phone (by my phone i mean her phone, but i'm gonna say my phone instead) and guess what, it never booted up again. stuck on Samsung logo.
But i could go into the download and recovery mode, so basically i followed this instruction:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570-android-4-2-1-cyanogenmod-10-1/
which is from the same guy, I flashed it using recovery mode and flashed gapps too, everything went normal without any errors. So i rebooted my phone and ............
a black screen poped up, I was really worried because i couldn't boot my phone, nor could i go into the recovery or download mode. I don't know if i could or not but the only thing I'm getting right now is a black screen or a backlight.
The only thing that seems to be working is when i hold Power+Volume UP button, my laptop can detect my phone (as Samsung CDMA Technologies) but can not flash anything using Odin, it stucks on "setup connection" message. Nothing else is working, I tried:
Home+power+volume down
Home+power+volume down+volume up
Power+volume down
Power+home
etc
I also tried a hundred different ways like completely uninstalling the drivers (with or without kies) pulling battery out, try those key combination while battery is out and reinsert battery while holding them but nothing is working.
I found this article yesterday which is for unbricking the hard bricked phones, but ADB can not detect my phone:
http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
Please help me guys, And do not suggest me to take it in Customer Service because i would if i could.
Thanks in advance
