Hi,
Unfortunatelly I started playing with my I9000 without reading enough and bricked my phone completely (?). If anyone can help please do so.
Description:
1. I tried to flash with Odin new firmware but after flasing and rebooting got message "unable to update media ...." (or something like that) When powering on I got only welcoem screen with phone name
2. I wanted to repeat flashing but Odin could not start reflashing (I still could go into Download mode)
3. I found at xda forum [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader,
but I didn't notice that it was for Captivate (I thought it is just another name for I9000,now I don't know why)
4. I reflashed my i9000 and after reflashing got only At&t screen turning on and off, without possibility to enter into download mode.
Actually I'm stuck with this situation I feel really stupid, but by mistake I did what I did.
Is there any chance to help ?
Thanx in advance.
according to some users, you might get lucky, and might be able to recover
let your phone stay on on that loop, wait until it turns itself off
then try the 3 button combo again
if all else fail, contact samsung tech support, which will simply send you back to your cell phone place
I'll try but I'm not very optimistic
Waiting doesn't help - I tiried all possible 3 or 2 button configurations unsuccesfully.
Anyone has any other idea if antyhing can be done with the issue ?
The exact same thing happened to me. There is nothing you can do except to bring it back to Samsung. I brought mine back and they have to replace the whole motherboard
what did you tell them? is it going to cost you?

I told them my phone cannot boot. Can they help to reflash the FW and see if it helps. They did and said phone still cannot boot after reflashing. Hence they have to change the motherboard. I asked and they say it's under warranty...
The shop where I had bought my I9000 sent it to Samsung - I will see what they do with it.
I have flashed a vibrant with a i9000S software but the radio did not work quite well. Since the two have different keys, now i cant get it to boot mode. i was able to get into recovery mode via ADB but all i can do is use vol to go up or down and not select an option. the device wont even get out of recovery mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same
I did the exact same thing and couldnt get it to go past the AT&T logo i took mine to the samsung authorised repair centre and after 3 days and 49 dollars they fixed it. I dont know how they did it because i couldnt get USB to reconginise or download mode or anything just stuck on white screen but they managed to get it up and running.
So even though it cost 49 dollars to fix it via software method it is better then spending 800 on a new phone or 300 for a new chip which they originaly qouted me. So there is hope with proffessional services
now, the magic usb plug is avaliable in ebay, it can turn your bricked phone into download mode in a few seconds. really good!!!
Hehe... ...the magic is one usb connector an 301 kohm resistor

Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

Do you have recovery mode?
So yeah, I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Ace with the wrong kernel through Clock Work Recovery, chose reboot option, screen turned black.
I have tried all the button combos, with inserting battery method and all of that, I even bought a USB Jig but to no avail. The furthest I've come to entering Download Mode(button combinations, to then flash with Odin) is that the computer is detecting the samsung galaxy ace as a modem(If I do not press the button combinations the computer detects nothing at all) and I cannot establish connection with the phone with Odin nor adb shell.
I have searched these forums a few hours a week the last two weeks and the only possible option seems to be JTAG unbrick. I have no money to get me a 100$ jtag-box just to resurrect this phone, so my question is this:
Is there any other way that Is cheap and not too advanced for a tech newbie like myself to unbrick the phone? I have no problem with soldering, but my question is, is there any other module(or would a simple jtag cable work?) to access the phones internal workings?
Or maybe there is another way to save this phone? Please post if you have experiance!
No, I have no warranty left on the phone, and no I do not want to leave it to some jtag service. That is not the problem.
Help/tricks greatly appreciated!
I had the exact same delema I kept plugging the phone into the c in download.mode and in the end my computer rexonized it ans was able to flash back to stock phone resets every now and then but other than that works fine I now use in rooted fully stock on.not.running the risk

Was the screen black when you flashed It through Odin aswell? Cause all Im getting from Odin is "setting up connection..." and there it stops. Did I miss something?
Wrong kernel as in?
Another device? A jig "might" help you...

Yeah, I got ahold of a Jig tried on my friends Samsung S2, and It did not work. I don't remember what I tried to flash it with, It was through clockworkmod and I was going to flash with rafaels kernel but must have got ahold of the wrong one in his SkyDrive map. Anyayws, I applied the .zip and chose reboot and all went permanently black.
Anyone have experiance in UART-Jigs and whatnot?
So the other day i was on my captivate and i had just factory reset it to original eclair. so i tried updating it with kies but it kept failing. So i then tried using Odin and accidently checked bootloader and now my phone turned off and wont show any signs of life. PLEASE IM ASKING YOU PLEASE HELP! What do I do?
Can u get into Download mode with button combo or jig ?
If ur phone shows zero signs of life, even when plugged in to a wall charger, then it is probably hard bricked and so u will need jtag service in order to bring ur phone back to life. Check out mobiletechvideos.com, they can fix ur phone.

But i dont get it. I was flashing with odin and it magically formatted the bootloader. Is there a way for me to fix it by myself like restoring the bootloader. I got my phone only 2 month ago. I dont have 40 dollars to invest on jtag service. Like how would they fix it. Could I please get instructions? Thanks and most help is appreciated

I dont have 40 dollars to invest on jtag service. Like how would they fix it. Could I please get instructions? Thanks and most help is appreciated

It doesn't format the bootloaders per say, it you flash a stock ROM with Odin that has bootloaders and if it gets interrupted while it's replacing them, your phone will be bricked as it doesn't have a way to boot (hence the name bootloaders).
The JTAG service basically pushes the bootloaders into the phone. It's something we can't do on our own unless we have the right equipment (riftbox).
Like 4-2ndtwin mentioned, try to get some response from your phone, anything that would show life. That means you can recover on your phone. From there, you'd have to be able to get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without ANY interruption.
My phone wont turn on and when i put it in charge it wont even show the battery charging. What else can i do to fix my phone?

Try the button combo to get in download mode (could even try a jig). If that fails too, you'll have to get jtag service.

The only alternative I can suggest you is to find that service around your place, hopefully for cheaper.
Yo. I think this service is legit. Is it?

From what I've read in your thread, you had the i9000 image working, correct? If so, why not just roll with it?
All Captivate/i9000 rom works with the i9000 bootloader. Captivate GB Rom will need to get the 2.3.5 i9000 Music Player APK, but aside from that, it all works. AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod and Slimbean will work out of the box if you get the captivate version. To install them, you'll need a slight workaround though:
Flash a kernel with CWM.
From there, flash the Captivate Glitch Kernel V13. It only comes in .ZIP format, which is why you need a CWM kernel before hand
Flash CM7 to convert the partition table(IMPORTANT. Rom will not boot if you skip this step.)
Flash anything from here on. If it throw a status 7 about device not being SGH-i896/SGH-i897, etc..., flash the Glitch Kernel before attempting to flash the ROM. You do not need to flash CM7 again.
(I know other ROM should have converted the partition table, but in reality it doesn't. Since you're flashing from Glitch, a CM7/MIUI kernel, they assumes you already have the MTD partition layout, and only resize it instead of doing a full conversion. CM7 check the partition table regardless of which kernel you're flashing it from.)
As a plus, Deep Idle works only with the i9000 bootloader. You'll get sleep of death otherwise. If you want your ATT World Phone image back, you can flash the custom param.lfs and change it manually. This can only be done from Touchwiz ROM though.
