[Q] [HELP] Bricked my SGS! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Totally bricked it.
- Unable to boot into recovery.
- ODIN doesn't detect my phone. (possible USB brick?)
- Screen stays stuck at SAMSUNG GALAXY S
Was trying to re-flash CM7, wiped data, reboot, doesn't work.
Tried booting back into recovery, no longer works.
Anyone has any idea? Bootable SD card doesn't work too.
I'm totally out of ideas.

mate did u try to go to download mode???

Download mode flash stock rom with pit 512 and repartition ticked ..
No download mode recovery jig of front page .
jje

how do i do it if ODIN doesn't read my phone anymore?

if you don't go into download mode; odin will not recognize your phone. otherwise, if you can't access download mode, you must use a JIG made of resistors. search the forum. or, if odin fails to detect your phone again, you must clean the contacts of the cable and the phone and the pc. again search the forum. if this fails, try a different cable or a different computer. and make sure that you have the necessary usb drivers installed.

Managed to restore my phone! THANKS A LOT!

[Q] Galaxy S Bootloop, No recovery, No Download mode

When I start Galaxy S I only see Clockworkmod text loading something and then it reboots.
When I try to enter Download mode, it does the same.
When I try to recovery, it does the same.
When I take battery off and insert USB cable and then battery, it shows that it starts charging but then it enters the bootloop. This should not be possible?
What to do next? Is the JTAG JIG only option and is it possible that it won't work?
Sort of the same here. My phone will start to the first samsung screen, shut off and reboot, and continue forever.
I tried flashing with odin but the phone shuts off before odin has a chance of flashing, any help? I would like to try out the android too, but the situation is forcing me back to apple phones.
I updated to CM 7.1 (2.3.7) from android 2.2 (stock)
On stock rom the key combinations did not work at first place. I had to go to download mode using: adb reboot download
Is this why I can't get to download mode? Since cyanogenmod does not touch the three-button-combinations?
Build a usb jig, Im confident it will work for you. Google it, you tube it, heres the link on this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
My buddies phone was doing exactly what your phone is doing and I was able to use the jig to achieve DL mode and flash via odin. GL
Got the JIG.
It went straight to the download mode. Then reflashed to XXJVT.
Factory format and Cyanogenmod reinstall.
Works like a charm!
Thanks guys!

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William
I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.

I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.

[Q] [q] galaxy ace bricked flashing cm7! Help please!

Hello, I was trying to root and install the CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830B. The root and the cwm installation processes worked with no problems, but when I installed the CM7 it just turned off and won't turn on again.
I can't flash a stock ROM via Odin cuz the pc won't recognize the device. It won't turn on in normal mode, downloading mode nor bootloader.
What can I do to solve this issue, please?
Thank you!

Which ROM You have flashed? If You can´t go to Recovery or Download mode, try USB JIG, if not work with JIG, I am sorry Your phone is bricked.
If Your phone can´t nothing try put out battery, connect Your Ace with usb cable (without battery), open odin, hold 3 buttons for download mode (vol.down+home+power) and WITH holding buttons put back baterry. If in Odin You can see yelow oblong with COM, You can now try flash new stock rom.

I tried installing Cyanogenmod 7.2. And err, is there any other way of trying to restore the phone instead of the USB JIG, cuz I don't have any. :/
I've already tried to go on the download mode by the steps you just said (power button+vol up./down + home), but the phone seems to be dead, it won't turn on in normal mode, download mode nor recovery. As the phone won't start in the download mode, i'm not able to flash anything via ODIN.
Is there anything else I could try? What if I try to flash STOCK ROM via ADB to SD CARD using ANOTHER CELLPHONE?
Thanks for helping.
Ah, another important info is that I think the phone "died" with the USB Debugging deactivated, so I think that's why the ADB can't recognize the device, right?

Phone in download mode but computer not detect the phone

hi everyone
I have a samsung cappy ATT with CM10 before and it was not detecting my sim card so i decided to flash it back to stock so i can use it with sim.
I was so noob and went to CWM and wipe out everything (whatever i see on the menu that i see i can delete, i deleted them). Then now my phone it stucks in ATT logo when i turn on and my pc wont detect even in download mode. I am not able to boot to CWM so I can't flash with zip file. I did some research here and tried 3 different USB cable and 3 different desktop(XP and vista) and none of them detect my phone :crying:.
Just want to see if any expert here know the solution and help me out. My model is 1007 so i dont need a JIG to go download mode. I love my cappy and really it to back to life.
Please help

Option 1: Put your phone into download mode, start up Odin in administration mode, plug the phone into your computer. If Odin still does not find it, try another usb port and see if Odin picks up the port. Also be sure you have the latest samsung driver package installed.
Option 2: If you have a factory rom or custom rom downloaded to your phone, you can boot into recovery and install the rom. But you would lose any data that you have not backed up, but it would get your phone out of soft brick status.

I thought you had Safestrap installed. This one goes above me. The following link might help shed more light on the problem and possibly provide a solution.

Here is a guide to recover from hard brick that will fix your problem. May be a last resort, but it is a viable option of getting your phone back up and running.
