is there an another option?

i'm pretty sure there is a way of forcing download mode, and then flashing a ROM using Odin.. not sure how though.. try googling it or asking around on forums.
Although, if you dropped your phone, and now its not working, there's a possibility of physical damage, and then you'l have to get it fixed.
The good news is that if you cant force download mode or recovery mode, and you cant turn the phone on, your dealer won't be able to tell what you were doing without forcing a flash or replacing hardware, so you're safe anyway.
But yeah, try forcing a flash using a bootloader.
EDIT: oh yeah, check this out. seems pretty scary, but hey, what the hell do you have to lose??

Well... I just can turn on the phone but when its on he says the GALAXY S logo en than the screen gos black and then its viberating the whole time. and i dont wanna spend money. OOhh yea i have dropped it from 20 cm not so high

I have had this problem already. You need to force download mode by pressing three buttons and then with Odin reinstall the version you use to have you can find everything on this forum if you search a little. Success!

One boot into download mode .
Install a stock rom pit 512 and repartition checked via ODIN .
No download mode buy recovery jig .

i have dropped it and it wass like 30% complete with flashing now when i wanna press the 3 buttons it just starts normaly

Stupid reply but: Tried pulling the battery out?
Anyways:
No download mode means buying/borrowing a jig.
Or you could try the hair dryer method but thats a bit risky.
If you cant to any of those you'll have to send it to Samsung. Just say you were updating to 2.2.1 with KIES and then when the update was finished, your phone wouldnt start.

If it fails starting in download mode remove the battery put it back and try again. If the telephone can boot to the galaxy screen. It can boot in download mode. It was tricky when i had the problem and it took me 2 hours until i manage to have it. In my telephone the trick was press menu first then on and volume down..

Note CAPTIVATE NOT SAMSUNG GALAXY S
Its a different system for download mode on a different phone .
Method remove battery replace hold down volume DOWN button and HOME button Now hold down POWER button .
When phone boots to splash screen let go of home and volume down followed by power button .
not work means you need the download mode recovery jig from the front pages .

Is my Galaxy S totally bricked?

Okay guys... I was running froyo with OC lag fix,
I didnt know i had to remove OCLF before upgrading thru kies...
Started the update, it was stuck on DOWNLOADING screen(on the phone) .. at 53% for 30 mins +
I removed the battery on the phone, thinking that I have the recovery mode anyway, and now I cant get into the recovery/download mode, nothing is happening, the screen doesnt even turn on.
Is my phone 100% bricked? Is there anything else i can try? If not... If i send it to samsung can they fix it?

Tried this too .. not working

It's bricked because you've messed up the bootloader.

If it was at 53% progress I doubt the flashing of the bootloaders had gone wrong. Probably it was in factoryfs.rfs (if it works same way as Odin).
sometimes it takes more time to enter download mode (up to 20 sec).

Take the battery out for 30 min then place it back and see if you can enter Download Mode, If you can't then you have a problem.

After 30 mins, should I PRESS the buttons first and then insert the battry(while keeping them pressed) OR put the battery first and then press the buttons?
UPDATE : I tried it, didn't work.
I guess all left now is to give it for repairs? :/

No, insert the battery then try to enter Download mode.
If it does not work then send it to be repaired or try USB-JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551 I prefer the last one, cheap and fast.

in my experience.
When the screen is black and not light, I have tried everything and never managed to arrest him. Nor I worked the jig
repair center

Does the device get seen by the pc when you plug a usb cable in?
Have you tried the 301k resistor jig ?

It seems bad. I think you'll have to go to samsung. I think you can try saying, you were doing an update from kies (froyo -> gingerbread - flashes bootloaders) and then suddenly your PC turned off (power failure) . It seems that the phone can boot from USB too, so samsung can repair it without even opening it. Here on xda, there is a thread, where some guys (much more clever than me ) are trying to figure out the protocol.
Sorry for my English

I recently got my wife's sgs out of a simalar situation by using ADB. And the command of "adb reboot download" if you search xda you can find a ton of info and download links for adb

Once I saw someone that had to pull out the battery for several hours.
Maybe do that over night and then try the download mode again in the morning.
Good luck

He can't get to the system nor to the recovery (most likely messed bootloaders), so he can't use adb.

riff jtag can recover bootloaders' but a technition has to do it
oh yes and it cost $$$

My Galaxy SI, DOESN'T turn on.

Hello Guys,
I was flashing my SI, two weeks ago and it got frozen, so I had to take my battery out. After that, my phone doesn't turn on, I've tried everything, even USB jig. But It's dead still.
I also tried the USB jig into my Galaxy SII and into my friend's Galaxy SI, It worked perfectly. (just to make sure that the problem is in my phone)
Is there something else that I could try to do?
Thank you, Lucas.

does your phone boots into download mode or recovery??

No, It doesn't boot into download mode. That's why I bought an USB jig and even using an usb jig it does not boot into download mode.
Thank you.

I've tried put into download mode, so many times and didn't work. That's why I bought an USB jig, even plugging the usb jig it doesn't boot into download mode :/
I have done flashing into my Galaxy SII and twice into my galaxy SI. But, the last time, which was the third time, I did something wrong. (By the way, I was flashing to official room)

Try removing the battery, press the 3 button combo and put the battery back in while you're holding the buttons (you will need some help I guess). Try the same with the JIG.
Edit/ What exactly went wrong?

Okay, I'll try. Tell you if it worked later. Need get some charge.
Thanks a lot.

I've tried and it didn't work.
Thanks for your help.

Your welcome!
Did you update the bootloader while flashing? Actually it's really hard to brick an SGS completely... Do you remember what exactly you did when you flashed the phone?
The last chance would be JTAG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7edUXE7jLg).
Regards!

What happens when u try to recharge. Does the battery icon show?
try to recharge the phone for an hour.then pull the battery, leave it out for an hour. Put it back and try download mode. Last chance, before jtag,i think

Well, while I was flashing with odin I probably used an incorrect room and it got frozen. I don't know why I took the battery out.. I could just wait and put it to flash again.
Anyway I watched the video and I gave up. I don't have those stuffs and I won't spend money with a £120 phone.
Thanks once more. I'm really thankful.

Nope, whatever I do my phone doesn't show anything. I did charge my battery for few hours and the phone got hot (normally, as all phones does while charging) and I tried put into download mode and didn't work.
Thank you, Lucas.

may be..there is only one way..giving ur fone in samsung..
obviously u will have to lose few bucks from ur pocket..

stuck in middle of everything.

aah ! here is the story.
so i was on some normal n7000 rom like some orignal ones which do come with these phones.
i installed CM nighliess 4.4 which dint really work.
so i replaced it with some Slimbeanversions. and it just sucked!
i was able to enter into cwm recovery before and then i messed up again and now i am unable to enter into cwm recovery
i thought i might just install philz recovery through odin as i was able to enter into download mode
i just did that. and now ..i can go to download mode screen but when i try to continue further with volume up button and restarts. and as its connected with charger/laptop the charging cell appears it restarts it appears again and restarts again.
anyhelp what i am suppose to do and what i have done?
please. Thank you .
regards.

Try to remove the battery for about 20 seconds. While the battery is not in press the power button couple of times. Also make sure there is sufficient charge in the battery. Put the battery back and try download mode. Flash philz kernel or stock ROM of your choice.

[Q][Help]Galaxy Slll I9305 bug rebooting

Hello everyone ; Hope you're good,
So my Slll i9305 won't stop rebooting, and he bugged in Samsung logo, and again he reboot, I can't access to recovery mode " volume up, home button, and on button". I hoped to flash him, but I can't too, I can't connect my phone to PC,
I looked for the solution in google, and I finished to arrive here, maybe and I hope I can find the real solution of this problem
Thank you guys,
I'm waiting,

Nep, I can't, I can't boot into download mode, and i can't do wipe
It's so complicated for me

That's weird. I assume the power button seems to be faulty. Were you running a stock rom? Did that happen out of the blue?

so im here needing ur help
thank you

What if you pull out battery for some minutes and then try to start your phone? Doesn't work either?
And my other questions? What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery?
Btw you don't have to quote each post, it is easier for reading

I give you a summary of the situation
I have a 9305 Black edition SIII, it restarts in a loop, and I can not charge the battery gets stuck with low battery and reboute yet, I even tried a different battery type EB-L1G6LLU and it lasts for two week almost;
The download mode does not work, every time I enabled it restarts,
The recovery mode to wipe the same, it does not even appear,
I tried to connect via keis Odin and the other failure of the operation
I even tried to change the connector, the same thing
Frankly I do not know what to do, If you have a tip, hint is welcome

What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery? or all custom? If you pull out battery and put it back in, does the phone start on its own without you pressing the power button?

I tried any solution possible in Internet and form from the world wide.
My motherboard are dead so, I have only one solution it's to buy a other.
Thank you to be here and answing

I have the same problem. I had latest ressurection remix rom, Philz Touch recovery and sudenly when I messaging on Whatsapp phone turn off. Then goes in to bootloop with samsung logo. I tried go into recovery but nothing happened, I tried go into downoad mode but when pop up screen with warning and I want press volume up to continue phone going back into bootloop.
So, my motherboard is dead?
