[Q] I9000M Can't boot!

Hi, I know the questions have been asked many times, but I did not see any good answers.
I have an I9000M an d I tried upgrading to froyo 2.2. I first tried with Kies, but it wouldn't. It would see my phone, I could add music, add/save contact, but when I upgraded it would just disconnect.
I turned to Odin's method. I had the seemingly frequent problem of it being stuck at "File Analysis" It had been there for an hour or so... So I got it was not working. I then had the bad idea of unplugging it, and now I'm stuck at the screen on boot with a [phone]---[exclamation mark]---[pc].
I can't get into either recovery or download mode anymore (tried with 3 buttons, but wasnt able anyways before, and ADB don't see my device (nor does Odin or Kies).
I tried removing the battery for about a minute and rebooting/replugging, etc. Nothing works.
What can I do more...?
Thanks

Without download mode (VOL Down, Home, Pwr) then your only options is to either send it in for repair or try to get download mode working with a homemade Jig.
More on that Here.
I heard story's of people of forcing it to go into download mode using heat as well from say a hair dryer. But I do not recommend that.

Also I'm just curious as how you used odin without even having download mode? I'm having my doubts that when you said I know this question has been asked many times but you have not found a good answer is true. Next time do a bit more reading before just flashing your device. If you have even 1 thing your not sure about when flashing your phone that's 1 to many.

Puzzled also .
First question has to be can you actually get the phone into download mode .
Thats the big yellow download sign .
That has to be your first step get download mode on your phone .
Odin does not work without download mode so if no download mode who knows what you where trying to achieve or did achieve .

No, I could get it in download mode BEFORE attempting to flash. Then I started Odin.
Now, I'm stuck with the image on boot screen and I can't do a thing. Phone is not recognized anymore on my PC so ADB/KIES/Odin won't see it.

Remove Kies and reinstall that will make sure the drivers are OK .
Get into download mode if 3 buttons fail then you need the jig as posted.
Could try removing battery go to three button download mode and as you are holding down the buttons stick the battery back in to see if it enters download mode .

Thanks guys for all the tips...! But nothing seems to work. It's just stuck at the connect error icon (?) and when I try to go in download mode either way, it just loops. (Icon appears and dissappears)
Two more questions:
1) If i have to get it repaired, do I contact Samsung or my provider ? (Bell in this case)
2) I'm at ease with electronics and stuff, so the jig should't be too hard to do for me, but is it guaranteed to work ? I mean, is it software-independant. Is there a problem that I can have that would prevent it to work ?
Thanks again!

Will work. Had the same issue as yours were I could not get into download mode and the phone would not boot either. The jig saved my phone. You can make your own or you can buy it on ebay. Good luck.

Good, should have all that at my job. Will try it.

Finally, it turns out that I called Bell and they told me that this was a common problem with these devices and they are sending me a new one!
Well.. whatever it was! haha
Thanks again for the help though!

[Q] Brick After ODIN 3 No Download Mode

Hello. Earlier I was trying to update the captivate from Cognition 2.3b8 to Cognition 4. While flashing the rom using rom manager it gave me an error. After that I tried to flash back to stock using Odin 3 one click which made it worse. It said it flashed successfully but when it boots up it shows the Att logo then restarts. If it's plugged in it shows the battery meter then restarts. No 3 button/2 button combo works to put the phone into download mode, the computer doesnt see the phone. With no download mode, no recovery mode, boot loop, no odin, what else could I try next? I read on a thread that in build 1010 after oding the 3 button download mode doesnt work. I've looked everywhere and nothing. Any tips?

Google jig
What method are you trying to grey into dl mode
If build 1010 or higher read abd follow this

looks like jig could be my only option. i cannot go into download mode using the volume buttons. i could before i did odin 3. now it just boot loops. i cant redo odin 3 since theres no download mode and the lapton wont see the phone. drivers installed

Update: I made a jig and managed to put the phone in download mode but Odin strikes again and made it worse. When I clicked start using Odin3 it got stuck for some reason now the phone doesnt even show the att logo. It shows the Phone--!--Computer image and the jig doesnt seem to work anymore. Computer wont recognize the phone. Later I found out that Odin doesnt like Build 1010. Anyway to get around this or did I finally loose the phone? Thanks

you still have chance to use jig into download mode if you can see phone!computer icon. maybe your jig is not good enough?

Final Update: As stated, the jig was messed up. Anyway i managed to unbrick the phone. Turns out Build 1010 + odin one click bricks the phone. I managed to save it by using the jig to enter download mode then following the steps in this page:

The phone is stock now. Final step, flashing Cognition 4 hopefully correct this time. Thanks all for the help.

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc

UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.

I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.
EDIT: Holy hell I just realized this post is from April. I just wasted a few minutes typing all of that. Damn.

[Q] HELP ME unbrick samsung galaxy S i9000 please! nothing works- kies,odin,adb,

Hi,
I am sorry to post this topic but i badly need some experts to help me out with this. It would be very grateful if anyone of you could help me.
I have bricked my friend's samsung galaxy s i9000. Now i need to buy a new phone for her incase i dont get this one working.
I have searched on this forum and googled extensively, i tried almost every method on this forum to unbrick except the USB jig, all of them failed.
I have ordered USB jig online, and it is yet to be delivered to me. So that method is yet to be tested.
Meanwhile all i want now is some guidance, so that i could be self assured if what I am doing is right and i need some questions answered.
Please read the following to comprehend the entire problem.
1) The phone has froyo and it was working very slow, and i couldnt boot into download or recovery mode via 3 button combo. (why couldnt i boot into those modes?)
2) I connected the phone to samsung kies, and it said that there is an upgrade available. But the details for the upgrade were blank.
I went ahead and tried upgrading it, and it gave me 403 error. (why did it give null details of the upgrade firmware? and why did i get 403 forbidden access error? )
3) Next i connected to the phone via ADB, and i could successfully boot into download mode.
4) After booting into download mode, i connected it to odin. Then i tried flashing semaphore kernel v2.7.
I gave an error, write operation failed, and the flashing failed. (why did it happen?)
5) Next I couldnt boot the phone at all, I am stuck at the black screen of death aka bsod or the phone-!-computer screen.
6) I tried taking out battery, reinserting and tried severl combination of button to boot as explained at several places here, but none of them works. Neither am i able to connect it to odin, or adb.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? IS IT HARD BRICKED OR SOFT BRICKED?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
Please help me, it will save me a new phone cost. I can hardly afford it.

Wrong ROM. Can't get into download mode.

Yeah. So this is what happened. Phone was bricked. Black screen only. Then my friend tried flashing it. Got into download mode. Flash it with odin. Installed it with a new rom. Unluckily, he downloaded wrong rom and then installed it on it. Now the boot screen flashes samsung vibrant.
Then, had my phone back on me. I tried flashing it again with ODIN, but I can't go through the download mode. So, it was unsuccessful.
The problem is, how can I get back the download mode without jig. / without purchasing any hardware? Can it still be fixed?

Have you seen this thread here ???

Considering your situation you probably will need a USB Jig... Its the same problem the other guy had in the thread that freakymod linked.
It can still be fixed, definitely, but it'll require you to either buy or make a USB jig.

If you can't enter to ANY mode, your phone is probably Hard-Bricked. You can try with constructing a USB-Jig (if you don't want to purchase one) with some resistors. Here are the links for making it:

Jigs are super cheap I don't see why its a huge problem. I got one just for convenience. Love it.
