I bricked my phone a while back (SGS I9000 2.1) using firmware from samfirmware. It would get to the galaxy S startup screen then reboot (Stuck in that loop). i still had the 3BC at this point.
Being new to flashing using odin i downloaded Odin3 One-Click Downloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989) after i applied the fix i realised i do not have this phone. The phone was bricked couldnt get 3BC no conectivity with adb on my pc, the phone was stuck on an AT&T screen and im in the UK.
I built the Jig with the 301K resistor to get into download mode and it worked first time. After doing alot of research on how to flash the I9000 i flashed a random 2.1 firmware and it booted again.
The problem i have is i cannot enter recovery/download mode and when the phone boots it looks like artifacts pop up for a second then it boots to galaxy s screen (green and purple line across the screen, sometimes looks like a tv screen with no channels black and white fuzzy).
Also when the phone is off and i try charging nothing appears on the screen and it dosent turn on with the charger plugged in. Then as soon as i remove the charger it automaticlly turns on. I think this is causing the last issue, when my phone runs out of battery it dies completly and wont turn back on, somtimes if im lucky i can charge it for about 1 Hour, remove the charger and it will automaticlly turn on and quickly plug the charger back in when it boots its got 1% battery. so i dont think my phone charges when off.
I have tyied applying the 3BC fix for the I9000 but no luck it just bricked my phone had to use the Jig again to recover.
If anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem Please help me!!!
I am running Darky's ROM 9.3 Beta 3 with Voodoo 1.3b oc uv kernel 1280MHz
so the jig is working ???
Try to flash an old firmware, something like eclair with all 3 files and pit, then use pit and re-partition in odin and if that works, try to calibrate the battery.. if you have any luck then upgrade to something newer, maybe thru samfirmware.com or officially thru kies.
i hope you get it fixed
ps. have you tried another battery to make sure your current one isnt faulty ??
Thanks will try it now. I think the battery is fine I get an avarage of 24hr usage set CPU min 100 Max 1280.

Alright guys i have got a galaxy s. Have got some issues with my galaxy basically i have been using rom manager i was running rombie v_2a via rom manager with clock work mod installed then my phone ran out of battery one day. So i picked up the phone plugged in charger and the phone loads with a round circle then the picture of the battery will show up and then the phone turns off. So i left the phone to charge for a while it kept showing a pic of the battery on start up then totally turning off again. So tried recovery and it wont boot into recovery. But it will boot into download and odin detects the phone. Flashed the phone booted me into froyo after flash but as soon as i turn off the phone it does the same thing again round circle picture of battery then off. I can flash the fone and all runs fine as soon as i turn it off i get the reboot problem anyone got any ideas cheers wattsy1612
can anyone help i got no recovery but i have d/l mode the fone will launch only from clean flash it will only boot if auto reboot is ticked in odin with clean flash i had clockwork but ssems the phone stopped booting evertime power is lost
Still cant reboot my phone totally screwed it will reboot if i tick auto reboot in odin after flashing from download mode but if i simply turn it off it just wont boot it just goes too white loading circle and shows a picture of the battery and then just powers off i cant enter recovery anymore either only download mode can any one help me out pls guys
That icon means kernel is screwed. See if u can flash eclair jm8 using pit 512 as its a known good state to start with. Also its the recommened rom to use before flash to froyos

icky boo have tried what you said and still the same mate no recovery and no start up like i say if auto reboot in odin is ticked the phone will boot any ideas mate
That's how I updated and recover when ever a kernel update fails. Maybe your phone is actually screwed. Can you enter recovery mode? Using vol up instead of vol down. If you can means your bootloader still works.

Also there seems to be a lot of problems with Canadian i9000m phones with internal memory dying. Uf you have one of them that maybe the reason

Hi guys,
I have a problem.. my phone won't connect on the computer or with charger.
If i restart it, it just displays the battery and the spinner for a few seconds and then the screen goes black again and the process repeats over and over. I'm able though to get in download mode and flush successfully a stock firmware with odin.
As long as i keep it plugged on the computer it can connect with kies and recharge, once i unplug it won't connect again..
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
well the fact that you can flash thru odin and connect with kies ect suggests its not a hardware fault...
perhaps you could try a (stock) firmware that contains all 3 files. and maybe flash it using pit and repartition... sounds like some sort of bug in the rom, confusing the phone when connected..........
just to make sure.. you have the latest drivers installed right ??
I've flushed JPO stock firmware, everything now works fine but it won't boot unless i connect it to the charger. It shows empty battery..
very strange..... are you running CWM if so boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.. then try charging the phone for a bit whilst it is switched off...
if it still fails to work properly then i must be wrong and it could be some sort of hardware fault... only samsung can repair that (unless you have insurance for a straight swap)
I wiped the battery stats but with no luck.. it didn't work.. I don't have insurance.. anyway, thanks for your help.
All i can say is that i have seen similar problems posted .Phone not working unless charger plugged in almost as if phone has lost the battery .
Dont know if problem was solved but a thought would be bad battery connections .

My phone was acting up so I restarted the phone and it gets to the samsung galaxy I9000 screen an shuts off. When I connect it to my PC or a wall outlet via usb cord, the battery charge screen comes on for a sec and goes blank and back and so on.....it wont charge. I tried the hard restart and it doesnt work and when I try the download mode it goes to a yellow screen with a triangle. It says downloading....
Not sure if thats working properly.
Is this a problem where I can flash my phone and fix this.
Because sending my phone off to a center would take forever.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Well first of all your download mode is working fine. For your problem i have few questions: does your pc recognize your phone and can you charge it. Have you bought it with that problem or it has suddenly happened? I think that this is a hardware problem but we should wait for other opinion

If your phone was hacked before (rooted, flashed new firmware), you should reflash it with a clean firmware (or ask someone who has experience). If not, that might be a virus which rooted and damaged your software. There were some of these in the market. This could also be repaired by flashing. But you'll lose your warranty.
You have a "boot-loop". Your download mode is working. So you can flash stock firmware. Find your country specific firmware and use ODIN! But please read up on which version of stock you have to flash.
Hello All,
I have tried to update my captivate on gingerbread via this guide.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/
All is going well and odin was updating the firmware then suddenly my phone screen goes white and odin is stucked at the progress. After waiting 20 mins I uplugged the phone and after that my phone is not turning on nothing is happening and its seems like its dead. Any solution or help in this ?
Thanks in advance.

Make a jig using this guide. It's not exactly easy but it should get you into download mode again so that you can reflash the stock firmware and start over.
will this work ?
as some told me to buy this from http://usbjig.com/ but they stated on the website " As long as there is something on the screen, the jig should work for you. " and I contact that guy and he said me that it will not work for you as my phone is not giving any response.
if I understand this correctly, if your phone stopped responding while odin was flashing the bootloader files, your phone is likely dead in the water. If it is, then a jig will not help.
Just a question did you try pulling the battery, then try again. I was flashing kf1 one time and it said completed successfully but it was an all blank screen luckily it was dark and there was just 1 tiny pixel lit up still pulled battery inserted battery held vol+ and vol- inserted usb and odin detected.

Ok so heres what happend I had CWM installed on my phone for whatever reason it stopped working so I put it in download mode and reinstalled in through odin still didn't work so I decided I'll just try and put CM9 on through Odin by the md5.tar. while it was processing it just stopped wasn't going anywhere so I closed Odin and unplugged the phone it was stuck in download mode so I pulled the battery. After pulling the battery the phone now does nothing at all no charging light no power no samsung logo or anything it seems like its just dead. the phone gets hot but doesnt do a single thing I tried the battery from my Samsung Glaxy SII because they are the same and it still does nothing but remains black I tried all trouble shooting steps as well and a Jig and still nothing. I don't know what to do at this point can anyone help?
hi, if you have totally bricked your phone this maybe your only solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330491&highlight=usb+jig by the way I had to do this after a bad flash
