I9000 won't start without 3 bottons boot up mode - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to flash my phone will juz got screwed when rebooting after changing font. But nothing I tried works, as I can't get into either recovery mode or download mode. I can't get my phone to start up, and the 3 bottons boot up thing doesnt seem to work.
Can anyone give me any help to boot up my I9000?

Mine powered on but blank screen.Try usb to pc And adb reboot re covery. Then do factory reset. This will wipe the phone but hopefully boot.

there is a sticky topic about it.
that is the typical behavior

So is there any solution to this yet?

no, the only fix is to send it to the store and have it warranted, or send it back to samsung for warranty

I was gonna bring it back to Bell for repair, but I was juz wondering if my phone was rooted would void the warrenty?

not as far as i know
they just don't like it SIM unlocked
they don't care much about rooting as it's considered a "software app"

If you bricked your phone, I think you have lost your warranty.

so do you think Bell would help me get the phone repaired if I go and find them?

I tried to root my G1 from this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Made it through the first few steps well, until i finally began to upgrade the image dreaimg or w,e.. It failed on me & now i cannot leave the screen. I remove the battery & turn it on. but when i do it stays in the same spot.. I tried everything & need some help.. ]:
Here is a pic of the screen.. : http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4355/picture001bk.jpg
Did it start updating, then stop in the middle of it? Did the phone turn off due to running out of battery during the flash? Did you format your card to FAT32, download the proper RC for the original sale location of your phone?
Try pulling the battery at, then removing your SD card, do a long format to FAT32 (whether it is or not) copy the dreamimg.nbh onto the SD card, put the SD card back in the phone, put the battery back in, put it on a charger not turned on for 30 minutes, then take it off the charger...
Now that you have done all that, try booting into boot loader again by holding down the camera and power button until it goes into that screen again and does it's thing.
If this doesn't work, well, good luck since I have no idea from there.
Yes i've tried all of that.. Once i remove my battery it turns on, but as soon as i put it on again it turns on & the same screen appears.. There nothing i can do to go back to the Home screen.. D':
I most likely made a mistake but now i cannot fix this! ]:
SOme onee! please help me.. ]:
Everyone continues to ignore my thread..
have you tried to reset within there by pressing Home+menu+end? ppl are not ignoring.. jus they dont kno how to help.. as the guy already gave ideas that im pretty sure everyone would have said

When does this screen appear? Instead of the G1 screen or after it? If after, hold down home+Power and get into recovery, try reflashing your rom.

That screen is the only thing that ever appears on my phone.. ]:I cant take that screen away like i want too.. So it appears instead of the G1 screen..
If that is the only screen that ever shows up, you very well may be bricked, I hate to say it.
It really sounds like during your flashing of the .nbh file it was disrupted for one reason or another, either the battery died or it was a corrupted file, so the only file left on the phone is the boot loader. Thus, it is the only thing that will show...
Of course, I am not 100% positive without knowing exactly what you did, not being able to mess with the phone myself, and so forth.
Some people have been able to bring phones back from the dead by getting lucky and being able to get ADB to work... try plugging the phone into your computer using a data cable and see if you can get any sort of ADB to work, perhaps seeing if you can get the stock HTC update program to recognize the phone and hopefully flash it into working.

So then is there anyway to restart the phone? Like a secret way? & when i connect my phone to the computer when its shut off, it appears on the computer but not completely.. it says that one of the files are not recognized. Damn, this is really a pain.. ]:
So, you cannot boot into recovery, correct? And have you tried to connect to your pc and use ADB?

Agreed.
You should read up tutorials on ADB and see if you can use ADB to access your phone. If you can, your phone can still be recovered.
If not - then yeah, brick.

[Q] Is my phone bricked?

My phone was on 2.2.1... Then, I tried using ODIN to flash the 100% safe stock firmware DDKQ6 so i could get to 2.3.6. Only thing is,after flashing my phone stopped booting up, the samsung logo won't appear and my phone won't even go to download mode.
I still have the warranty for this phone, so what should I do? Is there a fix for this without me actually having to send this in to the service center?
The battery doesn't appear... so its a hard brick then?
Will the service center take it?
Take it to the service and tell them it stopped working you dont know when and why. Thats what i did and they flashed it with gingerbread. Or you could make yourself that device that puts your phone into factory download mode, you can find some tutorials on youtube.

can you access the wipe cache data? home+power on? there is a thread on this site for hard brick. does your phone get detected when plugged into your pc?
Nope, cant access recovery and computer doesn't detect the phone either.
Guess the only option is either to search for those tutorials or to go to the service center. Thanks for the help.

[Q] What should i lie to samsung centre to fix my GNOTE

Hello,
Yesterday i've bricked my galaxy note
i've flashed cm9 built instead of flashing kernel
and its superbricked ( cant turn it on , get charged or even entering download mode )
the question is what should I say to them so they repair or replace my motherboard ?
note : my country didnt get the ICS update yet !
you should try entering download mode by using USB jig first...if you cant then just go to samsung and tell them u duno wat happened ur phone just dead out of a sudden. if u cant turn if on...i think they cant turn it on either..they have to flash the whole phone to fix it..i dont think they will check wat happen.

So even if we can understand that you are in stress, you could still
try what other helpful users say instead of just keep yelling the same
thing....
OFTEN even if you think it is completely dead, in fact it is not.....
Even if the phone looks dead it could still be loading fastboot.
So just try to turn it on, even if you don't see anything happen, hook it
up to the pc and try ODIN or ADB to see if it connects.
It could also be that your battery is empty andit doesn't charge anymore.
Try a battery from friend, or charge externally.
silence...
I super bricked my note too..I can't get into download and recovery mode too.
So the next day morning I sent to Samsung..I just told em,I can't start my phone..they
Didn't ask anything more..just said 45min later could collect my phone..

We all know you were not able to do anything on your phone, this is why you need to try using USB JIG(try ebay). USB JIG will put the phone automatically in download mode. Google "USB JIG" to get more info about this. It's cheap around $5 i think and a must have if you're into flashing roms

[Q] Galaxy Pop/Mini half hard bricked (can go into a strange mode) Experts Neede

Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:
The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?
I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

[Q] Think I have bricked my i9000

A couple of days I bought an i9000 off ebay, it came running eclare 2.1
I followed a guide to rooting it by installing a tar via heimdall, however this soft bricked it and when I turned it on it would just get stuck on the samsung logo. My phone seemed to suffer from the 3 button bug and therefore I had to get a jig for it which I received this morning.
I then tried to fix it by using this guide: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ot-cwm-and-cyanogen-install-help/#entry356900
Bassically I used odin to install the EU samsung firmware, odin said everything went fine and it all passed, however I can no longer turn my phone on.
Screen stays blank, I tried putting batery in, jig in and connecting it to my pc to see if it was just the screen that wasnt responding but still nothing in odin.
Someone please tell me I havent bricked my phone 2 days after getting it.
First of all, can you ask enter download mode?
Secondly, are you are that it is a I9000 and not one of the variants?

Yea, nothing happens when I press the power button/use the jig.
And this is 100% a software/firmware issue as it happened after flashing.
I have a feeling I disconnected it too soon, basically odin said it had passed and so i unplugged it but it just stayed on the download screen so I thought it might have gotten stuck and took the battery out. However i might have took the battery out while it was updating something, I dont know.
if you have completely bricked the phone you may have to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330491&highlight=usb+jig

Everything is stored on the mobo. However, I am not sure if it will be cheap.
you can pick them up for about £30 if you wait
I have a problem with my SGS 9000 too after I mistakely install firmware for Galaxy Tab. Now it's bricked and it lost download mode. On all actions (power button, entering download mode) I just feel very short and almost insensible vibration impulse. May be somebody had same problem?
