Can you get into download mode(vol-down, home, power)? If you can you could reflash your phone with Odin.

pit and pda files could you please provide me with a link?

ok i managed to install a ROM on the galaxy S it boots up but getting force closes and can't get into Download mode! please help!!

if you can still boot the phone after the force closes
use adb reboot download
that will get it to the download mode, and then you can load the stock ROM with Odin

Samsung i9000 stuck at boot screen no matter what i flash it to

I have tried everything, flashing with odin does not seem to work every time my phone starts up it just stays on the Samsung bootup screen then turns off for a split second and comes back on to that screen again. I have tried everything. I AM able to get in download mode so i can flash my phone but that is IT as recovery mode doesnt work, as i have tried all the methods.

yes there is!!!
but with odin though( which is unfortunatley the hard way )
but before i tell you the odin way..............
feast your eyes on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLYkMk16la8
first flash xwjm8 with odin
Then flash your region's eclair firmware. From there you know the route.
Wish you all the best.
thank you, i shall give it a try right now

How can i get adb to see my device? i can get into download mode but that is it. Adb says device not found. I cant turn on the phone therefore i cant also get into usb debugging mode. Is that a problem? how can i get it to read my device?

oh well u didnt turned on ur debug mode u adb wouldnt read ur phone, the best treatment for that is to flash ur phone with Official Roms, theres nothing to worry about if u can still go to download mode and if odin can detect ur phone

now another problem comes in phone is not going into download mode?
could that b cause of battery gone down to less then 20%?
Your battery should be at least 50% before flashing.
i m not sure at the moment it was 90% before. my phone was going into download mode but i did 1click downloader and instaler at&t firmware and now its not going into download mode ??
You could try this nbkhan : Download Android sdk (google it as i cant post external links in forum yet)
Extract this at the loacation c:\AndroidSDK
Connect phone to PC and Install Drivers
now go to Start > RUN > type cmd
go to this directrory " c:\AndroidSDK\tools "
now type " adb reboot download "
Your phone will reboot and will go into bootmode.
You could also consider building or purchasing a usb jig(google it)
pc does not recognize my phone.
Were you were flashing an ics rom? if so you need nexus drivers installed on your comp which can be found here : w w w.multiupload.co.uk/BUCFT8M42N

You could try the one click unbrick from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 , if that does not work you will have to buy/make a usb jig to force download mode.
Jigs are well worth the money, just a couple of £/$ and save your phone.

I've gotten this before. I think it's caused by a failed flash in a rom, either interrupted or something else. The way I solved this was to pluck out the battery, put it back in, boot into download mode (power+home+vol down buttons). Then make sure u have Samsung usb driver installed and then run Odin as administrator. Continue to flash the stock firmware.

take it as second download mode
just connect it with Odin and flash the firmware
this normally happens when flashing process is interrupted
as u can see from my screen image that download from pc to mobile is disabled..

Also, the exclamation mark (!) between the computer and phone icons do not symbolise unable to connect to pc. It means something like "the phone needs to be connected to the computer to flash another firmware."

Bro, Don't worryYou can have it working. The exact scenario happened with me too. It happens when you enter in download mode & then due to some reason, you try to switch it on normally. In such case, it won't open either normally or in recovery, but only in Download Mode. So, remove battery, insert it again & press the Download Mode combo keys to enter download mode (Download mode works in such cases) & follow these guidelines:-
1. If odin is crashing, try another pc.
2. If odin is not recognizing your device even when correct drivers are installed, Then check the name of OPS file. For MINI it should be "Tass_v1.0.ops" (without quotes). Note that, device model number appears in Odin's Title Bar.
3. After that If Odin is hanging in btw (for ex: in setup connection), try another USB port.
5. If still problem persists, try another stock firmware.
6. If firmware update is successful and phone bootloops, remove battery, go to stock recovery mode & wipe data/factory reset. Then, wipe cache.
If you implement these correctly, it's 100% gauranteed that your phone should be normal.
Your problem should be solved by then.

You can use Odin Multi Downloader for S5830, try flash Stock Firmware (newest in sammobile.com) with Cooper file. After reboot You go in Recovery and put factory reset. I think will be good.

How is supposed to connect via Odin if my phone does not have download mode, I can't access, it's broken. So connecting with Odin is impossible... Also Odin Multi Downloader never worked for me, before i used Odin 3.07 because was the only Odin who detect my phone... An my phone is in a continuous bootloop, and my data partition is broken also, so mounting it Is impossible, the fix only way to fix it isflashing a complete stock firmware
:/

Pressing vol + does nothing, phone still reboots.

[Q] [q] galaxy ace bricked flashing cm7! Help please!

Hello, I was trying to root and install the CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830B. The root and the cwm installation processes worked with no problems, but when I installed the CM7 it just turned off and won't turn on again.
I can't flash a stock ROM via Odin cuz the pc won't recognize the device. It won't turn on in normal mode, downloading mode nor bootloader.
What can I do to solve this issue, please?

Which ROM You have flashed? If You can´t go to Recovery or Download mode, try USB JIG, if not work with JIG, I am sorry Your phone is bricked.
If Your phone can´t nothing try put out battery, connect Your Ace with usb cable (without battery), open odin, hold 3 buttons for download mode (vol.down+home+power) and WITH holding buttons put back baterry. If in Odin You can see yelow oblong with COM, You can now try flash new stock rom.

I tried installing Cyanogenmod 7.2. And err, is there any other way of trying to restore the phone instead of the USB JIG, cuz I don't have any. :/
I've already tried to go on the download mode by the steps you just said (power button+vol up./down + home), but the phone seems to be dead, it won't turn on in normal mode, download mode nor recovery. As the phone won't start in the download mode, i'm not able to flash anything via ODIN.
Is there anything else I could try? What if I try to flash STOCK ROM via ADB to SD CARD using ANOTHER CELLPHONE?
Thanks for helping.
Ah, another important info is that I think the phone "died" with the USB Debugging deactivated, so I think that's why the ADB can't recognize the device, right?

Try, to downnload the drivers of the SGA, in the samnsung page, if it works, use a stock rom that don´t be a one package. Sorry for my bad english.
