[Q] Galaxy s stuck in at&t screen flashing (Recovery/download mode not working)

PLEASE PLEASE HELP
Ok so my phone is rooted, i installed anim mod and when i was installing one of the mods from the app i had to reboot. i rebooted but the phone loaded up as far as the Galaxy S logo and then went black and the lights of the buttons stayed on.
Ok so i could get into the recovery mode, but i tried all the options there tried clearing everything and it said it did but everytime i rebooted same thing kept happening.
So finally after freaking out i got on youtube and found a video called "How To Restore The Samsung Captivate To Factory Firmware With Odin3 One Click Downloader". not realising captivate isnt exactly the same phone as gt i9000. (sorry cant post the link)
I downloaded the drivers and started using odin3 one click downloader. so i got into download mode then plugged in usb and done the fix but...
Now im stuck with a screen flashing saying "at&t world phone" and neither the recovery mode or download mode will work at all i tried numerous times.
Experts please i would be so grateful if you could help me out
also my warranty is obv void now im guessing, is there a way of paying samsung to get it fixed or do i need a warranty or can i buy a warranty??
Thanks guys

Can we presume that you do know how to access download mode ??
and you have followed the instructions for download recovery with the jig .
If so and it fails you need a Samsung Service Centre .

Samsung Galaxy S cellphone with caution sign and computer

i have a Samsung Galaxy s Vibrant and when i was upgrading it my computer said try again later but my phone said installing. so i unplugged the cord. now when i try to boot up the phone it comes up with a cell phone and a computer with a caution sign in between. please help.

Do not fear, your phone is not bricked.
Keep trying to get into download mode using the 3 button combo. It should work eventually

Could even mean you are posting in the Galaxy forum not the Vibrant forum ???

Samsung Galaxy S HARD BRICKED

Hello,
I tried to flash back to the stock ROM of Galaxy S and then install a new Jetpack 8.2 custom ROM.
Apparently, since I did a bad search on the internet on finding a stock ROM and pit file, i downloaded a pack from xda with the .pit file pda file phone file and CSC file.
I DONT REMEMBER which it was..i selected all the files from the pack through odin and re-partitioning was ticked (i saw it after the flash finished).
So when the processes was completed waited a bit and since the phone was not responding i pulled it out.
Now that's it.. The screen is black - wont power on - wont go into download mode - wont show battery charge while the USB cable is on - nothing (AND YES THE BATTERY IF FULLY CHARGED).
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
p.s: havent tried a usb jig but from searches i made on the internet and on xda forums ppl said it will prolly not work. are there any instruction on how to make one (link would be appriciated)?
Thanks in advance

Best option would be to try a Jig (you can buy one on ebay or dealextreme) and see if you can go into DL mode. Sometime the button combination for Download mode changes depending on the firmware. Try pressing the middle of the volume rocker and power at the same time.
If not wait for a Jib or build yourself one. There should be instruction in this forum on how to build one.

if the jig doesn't work, i would try and return it to the store you got it. I know its a long shot, but the same thing happened to me and I brought it back and she just gave me a new phone! Its worth a shot!

Worth a try. Just tell them it suddenly stopped working and you have no idea what's wrong. It's not like they can power it on and see that you failed flashing it or something. and even if they use a jig they can only get to download mode and reflash it...
even if they say no... a jig costs like $1.5 on eBay. search for "i9000 jig".
Insert if, press the power button and poof, you're in download mode,

the thing is that the phone is not under any warranty or something and the store i got it is far away now !!

JTAG service if you're in the UK: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/

The JIG won't work when you brick with a black screen (i.e. bootloader corruption, so no boot at all).
Your only solution is to JTAG it or sadlly, throw it away...

I used a I9003 ROM to flash it !!
Maybe there is still a solution?
also from what i've found on forum sometimes the JIG helped ppl who had a black screen to go into download mode. so how can you be so sure? @ Dan_Aykroyd

As long as your bootloader is intact, the jig will get you to the download mode
Wrongly flashed i9000 with i897 rom has been confirmed to work with the jig, but i don't know i9000 with i9003 rom...
Or you can apply the unbrickable mod if your phone's warranty was voided already, if not, send it back to the shop.

Had that also yesterday putting a new ROM on my GS. The process of writing the PDA halted.. Black screen, no way to start it up en no screen indications of charging etc..
I removed it from my USB, Removed the battery a few times did the three way download mode trick several times and finally I got the download mode screen from where I successfully loaded the new ROM.
So try a few times.. even when you get a black screen !!

let me be clear once more..i downloaded a complete I9003 rom pack from xda... some guy posted..i just missed that it was I9003 and not I9000..
and on odin re-partition was clicked..but the process was completed successfully even thou after that the phone wont start or go into download mode :/
i used not only PDA and PIT files but 2 more was included as well :/ so what i am asking is if this could really have damaged the bootloader or not

Of course you're bound to brick it flashing a firmware for a phone completely different to yours...get a jig if you're confident or take it to a service centre

Try jig first.
Next try JTAG or UNBRICKABLE mod.
Then Try a service centre.

in case it wokes up.. anyone has links for stock rom and pit to flash with odin?
thanks again

There are some ways, when already got into DL mode is best to reflash with 812.pit file and then again with 512.pit file. After I bricked my phone and got "death" screen (God I was crying) I found way of taking up DL mode (hopefully SGS is pretty-hard to brick). Others than that try to connect to your phone via usb (remember to first inset usb and then battery) and hold ALL of the buttons on your phone. Screen must flash about 3 times and then release volUp to get DL mode combo. I hope that will help you as me.

Are you 100% sure the JIG wont work if bricked with a black screen. Are there any other possibilities to unbrick the phone. I really need this phone back or my dad will kill me..

How do i check my phone, is it hardbricked or softbricked?

Hi there.
From what I've met with my G.N, when you got other message than the yellow triangle, you may flash your G.N with a custom rom with no problems within Download Mode.
If you got the yellow triangle, you may could go to download mode, too and flash a custom rom.
if no way to go to download mode, then I think the only answer is JIG.

Maybe the USB jig will help you to boot into the download mode.
Can you enter CWM?
How did you "bricked" your Note?
What have you flashed?

I would flash my Note with odin.
But it fails, i think it was the wrong PIT file.
And after that, it turns off, and now i cant turn it on again.
Usb Jig is only for 2.3.4 and earlier use?
Mine is 2.3.6

Their is nothing to do with version. JIG used for Put your device in Download mode and Clear your Custom binary Counter.
Before flashing ROM please read all instructions carefully.
As they said while flashing ROM using PC Odin you should not use Pit file and Not to Tick "Re-Partition".

Yes.. MY BAD..! Now im stuck here with a dead phone. But the Usb jig can wake it alive again??

The USB jig can boot your phone into the download mode, but only if the phone does response in any other way, I think. For example showing the battery icon, when plugged in for charging.
But you can try it anyways.

The download mode will work!
the only exception is a hardware defect.
you can't get an hardware defect by flashing.
the bootloader (3 button or jig) will work.
there is no way to kill the hardware during flashing or something else.
buy a jig and it will work.
you wrote you see the samsung logo - that means, that the bootloader is OK.
happy flashing ;-)

Yes. But if your phone totally does not response, it might be a dead bootloader too. thats what i meant.

Well you can try the usb jig anyways, but if there is still no response there is no way out and you have to bring it to your local service partner or samsung, I think.
But one fact is good for you:
It doesn't response on anything you do. So that means it can't be read out and they'll not see that you've flashed it. They'll just change the mainboard and resend it to you. This happened to me with my samsung galaxy s.
I totally destroyed the bootloader and it won't response. I directly send it to samsung and they just change the mainboard, as I said.
For sure you doesn't have to pay anything, assumed you are in warranty.

I'm gonna buy a jig immediately, however all of them are indicated as for Galaxy S2. Will it work with galaxy note too, or should I keep looking something specific for Galaxy Note ?

It will work for you SGNote, too. Just go get one, and let us know what happened.

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file

Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.

USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...

I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?

Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?
