Database Develop

Phone is Dead - A warning for others.

Ok, heres the deal.
My girlfriend has the same Galaxy S as i do, and i wanted to go back to stock.
Id grabbed all the needed files off her galaxy (boot.bin, cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, factory.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs, sbl.bin and zImage) and loaded up heimdall to flash them all back.
The flash finished successfully, the phone switched off, and i awaited a reboot.
It never came.
The phone is now in a Non- Functional state, wont turn on at all.
The battery was fully charged at the time, and ive also pulled her battery out and tried it, but still no go.
Im thinking something inside is fried.
Just thought id share my misfortune with you, just in case someone else was going to try the same thing.
If you were gonna try....think twice
So i guess its back to Optus shop on tuesday, and see what i can do about a replacement.
Cheers all.

you shouldn't use boot.bin ,Sbl.bin and param.lfs. It is not safe to play around these files, you could dump other files and flash it,without any problem,

Ok, well maybe thats what has killed it.
Ive tried all key combinations, but nothing at all.
Pretty convinced its fried.

I did the same thing on my phone and happened so, but I took it to service center and they repaired without changing the board or opening it(this is what I think because there were no trace of any physical repair), anyhow its working again. but before you may try some methods which I read in some forum as below:
Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
You should be in Download Mode.
there is another method which I will try to find and inform you

Thanks for the tip....but no go.
Screen still black....
Its like its not getting power at all.

Try and force it in to download mode [vol down - home key - power button] and then reflash it with a stock rom. If that fails then you could try holding just the power button in for a minute or 2 but if that also fails then your last option is to try and either get hold of a jig or make one to try and get it in to download mode.

Using the application Odin should fix this problem. as above said, about vol up vol down, im sure it is volume down,powerbutton and homekey when connecting to a comp when odin is open. Odin is ure failsafe. correct me if i am wrong with this information!

Ive tried all key combinations that we know.
Ive flashed it many times before, but i think this time after the flash, something has blown, in between the battery, and the power switch, so its not getting any power.
I think the only cure is to return to samsung for repair.
Ive tried everything that ive read from various google searches for the last 8 hours or so...and no hope.
Im almost positive theres no power getting from battery to the power switch.

Yes follow instructions understand what you are doing first dont make it up as you go along .
I would guess you have destroyed boot loader .
Possible fix is download mode recovery jig .
Samsung service centre possible charge .

Grabbing some resistors tomorrow, will see how that goes.

If the Sbl.bin id non functional, the Jig can't do anything, you must use a RiffBox or equivalent sadly.

sad story, hope never will happen to me

If its still under warranty just go to samsung service centre and tel them you tried upgrading firm ware over the kies and phone did not boot after that. Its not easy for samsung to find what you did with the phone. they will replace mobo free if warranty is valid.

Yeah will do.
Mrs will take the phone in to where she bought it on tuesday, and see what the process is.
Phone still under warranty so i doubt ill have any worries getting it repaired.
Bought a jig this morning for $8.00.
Knew it wouldnt get my phone goin after reading that if the secondary boot loader was not intact that it wouldnt work. As id flashed the sbl.bin i knew it was toasted, but for 8.00, having a jig handy is worth every cent anyhow.
Have my Galaxy Tab to use as a phone untill the "S" is repaired, so thats a bonus.
Although im without a phone for possibly 2 weeks or so, i dont regret flashing it.
Its a good learning curve, and one ill remember.
At least i know now, that even though heimdal has slots for the bootloaders, DONT USE THEM
Its all good, and im not discouraged in any way from flashing it again as soon as its repaired lol.
All in all its been a good lesson learned.
Ive learned about the download jig, which of was unaware of earlier.
Thanks to all those who replied with info....i do appreciate it.
Will post back results of the phone return....when i know more.
Cheers

Thats the spirirt dude. I was in the same situation as yours. Got my motherboard replaced under warranty period, they took 2 weeks but were quite helpful. I said kies update bricked my phone. They replaced it for me. All happened within 2 weeks of the phone purchase. so it was bit tenseful situation. I own I9003.

Got my Galaxy back yesterday.
Turns out the main board was fried.
They replaced the board...and am now functional again...
Its the stock DTJP3 firmware.....but not for long LOL
Think ill leave heimdalls boot options blank from now on...better still, ill use Odin instead.

[Q] how to keep apps from getting erased

hey so i have a Samsung captivate and i just installed continuum v5.5 but every time to turn off my phone all my apps get erased. what can i do about that?

You flash the rom from cwm 2.5? That's my guess...
Try reflashing from where there. With talon kernel that has cwm 3.

im sorry but im really new to this and i have no idea what that means. All i have one is install the new package and now when i turn off my phone all my apps that i downloaded from the market get erased.

What you were on before you flashed that?
Anyway...from where you are now just boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then reflash the rom.

umm for some reason i cant get into recovery mode.........haha any tips on that first

Turn off the phone. Hold volume up and power...that should do it
The extended power menu while it's on...
Or adb...

I have been trying those. none work, all that show up is a white screen that have AT&t and that says world phone. what should i do?

wait up!! AT&T screen?? FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!!! although i have no idea how you have been able to boot at all... you still have stock eclair/froyo bootloaders. thats a gingerbread rom requiring updated bootloaders..so how it even got into the os is confusing me?
use this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
then take a few days and READ!!! you skipped a HUGE step.

Im so confused now. it just stopped working? when i turn on my phone all that shows up is the AT&T world globe thingy and i cant get farther then that. I tired clicking the power and volume buttons but im just stick on the globe thing. is my phone like broken now??

no. if it comes on its not broken.
what you need to do is pull the battery...and leave it off. come back to the forums and after you have spent several hours READING up on what exactly you are doing to your phone THEN you will have the knowledge to fix your phone.
this **** shouldnt be taken so lightly if you have literally no idea what you are doing.

yaaaaa i think im going to be done with all the rooting thing in till ive learned more about it. But is their a way to get it back to the way that i bought it.?

Yeah you just put it into download mode and use odin one click

This is a perfect example of why I ask that everyone to spend at least a day learning about what they are doing before doing it. Flashing a Rom to your device has some very major side effects if even one step is done wrong.

I tried to put it in download mode. it doesn't work, my phone will turn on and off but will just sit in the start up screen but thats all that it will do?

You will need a jig to force download mode.
Go to mobiletechvideos.com he has a video on how to make one actually heres the link to that video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0... if you can't get yours to work or think it might be to difficult after watching the video he also sells them pre made for under 10 us dollars.
There are also quite a lot of useful videos for beginners to watch and learn about what you're doing.http://mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=31 that whole page is worth a look...

so theirs no other way to get the phone back to normal? If their isn't anther way to get it back to normal then can i just call AT&T to send me anther phone because this phone is only 3 days old??

thats what all of my posts have been trying to do. get you to normal.
especially the ones WITH LINKS!!

yaa ik, sorry what i was trying to say was that is their any other ways to get the phone into download mode that doesn't take making that JIG?

with phone off try holding both volumes and inserting the usb cable thats connected to your pc.
or take out the battery, plug it in and hold the volume buttons, then with the buttons still held indert the battery.
if those dont work the jig will. its easy to make...or if you cant manage its cheap to buy...
what is it with people so resistant to trying to make/buy a jig? both ways its under 10 bucks, and that beats the hell out of not having a phone, and the frustration of trying everything else before you get around to a jig. make/buy one now you will have it for future use. its never not handy to have. i made one before i flashed anything so i would have an out if it went bad.

Okay well thanks to everyone who helped, im going to try to make the jig thingy but if i can't make that then im just going to throw it against a wall and use the insurance to get a new one. thanks though

[Q] Did I Brick my Wife's CDMA Hero? SPL Danger Gone Wrong?

Hello All, I hope this is posted in the right place....
I believe I have bricked my Wife's CDMA Hero...
It was rooted with S=Off and working. I was flashing roms and all was well until... Danger-SPL... I know, I know, I shouldn't have done it, but I did!
So, this is what happened.
I flashed the Danger-SPL via clockwork recovery and when I did the screen went to an install screen for a split second and then blank. I waited for a while and tried to reboot, but nothing.
The phone will not come on at all, screen stays blank.
When plugged in I get the charging Orange LED. When I try to power up, regular, recovery, bootloader, etc. the LED goes away, but screen is still blank. The battery does warm up after awhile with the phone "on" so it seems to be drawing juice from the batt.
Volume Down + Power Yields nothing
Volume Up + Power Gives me 3 Vibrates
Menu + Power Gives me 5 Vibrates and Blinking Green LED
everything else doesn't seem to do anything, the screen is ALWAYS blank!
Cannot see the device via adb from my mac... (Not very well versed in adb, but have used it a little with success in the past on my EVO)
Is there any hope? I have googled till my ears bled (not really but heads my been pounding after awhile!)
Have I truly bricked the phone? Is there anything that can be done WITHOUT the use of JTAG (Still researching that to see if I can do something)
Any help is appreciated... any bashing if fine too, you can't bash me more than the Wife!!!
Thanks in advance!!

im not sure if the computer wont even recognize it or get to fastboot.
but your led does come on so there may be some hope on most hardbricks the led wont even come on.

Have you tried Volume down + Power + Action (trackball depressed)?

No, actually went to sprint today and had them check it out. They couldnt fix it, but I was able to get a replacement for $35 dollars.
I didnt have insurance or anything either and I told them what I did...they didnt hassle me at all amd just hooked me up with a refurb that was in way better condition!
I was shocked that it was so easy!
Thanks for your reply though!

Pretty sure you could have done a hard reset. (Volume up+Volume down+Power)

I have the same issue and I need help, based in India so cannot go to Sprint. Can someone kindly send me the RIFF box file for the Hero so that I can get it repaired.

Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds

Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds
I have recently messed up my Captivate when I was trying to flash a ROM. My phone goes up to the white At&t sign and then makes a few sounds and stops. It also goes to the charging screen when plugged in the cpu when off. I have tried countless ways to get it to go into dl mode or even recovery mode. Ive tried: ADB vol up and down plus power with usb plugged in/battery put in, vol down usb plugged in/battery put in, vol up usb plugged in/battery put in, just vol up and down usb plugged in/battery put in, and nothing seems to be working. WITHOUT someone tellin me to use a jig can ANYBODY please help me find a way to do this. I have even pressed menu and volume down while the phone was in off charging state with green bar loading and the cpu made a sound and cpu said unrecognized device...from there I have tried to root my phone hoping it goes into recovery mod(which ive done to fix my phone before) also from there i have tried odin but no recognizance and I also have tried adb reboot download and adb reboot recovery. NOTHING WORKS...someone please HELP ME!
thanks in advance

What rom were you trying to flash?

why SO resistant to someone telling you to make/buy a jig? its a very easy thing to make and it will solve your no download mode issue in seconds. if nothing else will get you in download mode a jig will for sure (unless your usb port is broken) you can try and exhaust all other solutions but after you've ripped all your hair out build a jig.
its like trying to dig a ditch with a garden spade when you have access to a back hoe

Good point
stud u really make a goop point about it being easier to buy a jig than to pull ur hair out. Which if this kid really was pulling his hair out he shouldn't have been doing this at all. But, I am also having this same problem. I was using a CM7 build and it worked great until i tried to install the gapps. then it went crazy. It rebooted itself and went through the Cyanogen Mod first screen then would get stuck on the CM7 blue android on skateboard bootscreen. If I touched the screen at the bottom right it would vibrate for some reason. Shortly after realizing I needed a jig for it I decide to buy a new one cause at the time I didnt know if I could properly make one. So I've kept my first captivate still trying to find a non-jig method. I recently taught myself begginers adb on Windows XP OS but I am very much a noob except for rooting and flashing. Any help of yours would be great anytime. Thanks,
Matt

Shows that youve been a member since Dec-2010 so Im assuming that you really did try everything because you have read and read and read (riiiiiiight!?) and without telling us whether you tried to flash a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM I'd sugguest that you buy a JIG. Its really the best solution and the less time consuming if you cant think of anything else to try. You can order one or make your own...literally took about 30 minutes for me to get my phone to a place where i can work with it....a trip to the radioshack and making the JIG and back home.
If you are making requests on specifically NOT to tell you to do it a certain way then you may have to accept that you might have to solve this problem on your own, especially if you said that you tried everything except the one thing that you cant do (which is what we might suggest) and probably will fix your situation.

So i re-read after making my first post to this. I've bought my 5th Cap. now and have quite a bit more knowledge than before. So my question is. If I've completely bricked my 3rd cap... No battery charge screen and all will a jig still work for me to get into download? I was tryin to come back from cm7 but something went wrong.... I really don't need the extra phone but it would be nice to have my back up

If the screen doesnt turn on at all and there is no charge screen or recognition at all of usb than it is more likely then not hard bricked.

Follow every step but got stuck when it trying to flash and stop at 20% just like when I update using LG software. Order new battery hope fixing the problem. My first LG android phone can't return bought it on craigslist

Hopefully the battery will help...good news is if you can connect and start the flash each time it is not bricked...i have not seen this problem posted before so doubt it is hardware...does adb see it...if so i would try to wipe system and data and reflash...i would also pull sim and sd card before flash to see if that helps ?

Replace the battery with new and same problem, my phone doesn't even read my AT&T sim card.
Any button that I can do hard reset?

I had this same problem is your phone not turning on or just not downloading the update? I bricked my phone installing the update and it can be fixed but if you having problems with the connection during update you gotta keep trying it will go through. If it wont turn on at all there is a fix.

This is the problem:
1. I bought new phone on Craigslist running 2.2 and everything working.
2. Connect to PC and set up driver, software etc.. there is an update so I did.
3. Got stuck about 17-20% and message disconnect and re-reconnect etc.. and I did.
4. Ever since I can't t urn it on unless connect to a charger.
5. I will not read SIM card and kept saying reorganized when check on setting and mobile network.
I am stuck here cause tried so many time. Also, phone turn off with full battery charge but next morning when I turn on completely drained. I think software screw up some how during the initial upgrade. Just don't know how to fix it

OK try this take your battery out and plug it into your computer and hold the volume down key until you hear or see your computer recognize it. It should beep a couple times. Be sure to leave your phone off this whole time. Open up your LG support tool. Once it says your connected open the customer support tab. Click on "Recovery Phone." Enter your phones info and click the check button. It should take you through the steps from there. I had the same problem and had also bought it from craigslist. The good news is even if this doesn't fix it, your phone is less than a year old and can be sent to LG for a fix or they'll send you a refurbished phone. They will want a reciept but if you don't have it just tell them you tossed it. Same for the box if you don't have that. They will do it just start getting angry if they give you the run around. I was freaking out just like you LOL. I couldn't find anything on the web and the LG lady was just as stumped as me... I just happened to try this before I sent it in and it worked. Let me know if you have any luck.

As far as the update goes I eventually did get it to work. Just keep trying. I plugged it in to try again one time and it said my phone was already updated. I went and checked and sure enough it was. The visual change isn't dramatic your signal bars turn green and you get some more bloatware like a 3d game converter. The reason for this is the phone has a custom LG UI and will not adopt the gingerbread UI. Don't freak a lot of people insist its not GB but it is. There is a lot more to a OS than the user interface.

Warranty thru LG or at&t? You mind give a little more. I didn't even know LG has a warranty in US?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

The warranty is through LG at&t wont do anything for you cause they will know you got it off CL. You'll need your imei and your s/n from under your battery. I wouldn't tell them you got it off CL. The only way this wont work is if the previous owner registered the phone with lg which is unlikely since they didn't even have the GB update. Call 18002430000. Again do not tell them you got it from CL. The phone is under a year old and they will do it for you. If it has to be told that it isn't yours say you had a step brother or friend give it to you. They will want a reciept but you can tell them you tossed it all and your imei Ans s/n will be enough. Also tell them it happened using their support tool. Good luck.

Thanks.. at least someone here tried to help me... the link flash back to stock ROM didn't work for down load so I can flash it. I even root and flash custom ROM still didn't work now I want to flash it back to stock... if you can just help me a little please

download mode: I got a little confused cause someone told me take battery out connect phone to PC and put battery back. Yours didn't mention anything about put battery back in

Yeah when I did mine it wouldn't turn on at all even when it was plugged in so I think i left my battery in and did it bc it wouldn't respond to anything. I would try to get it to recognize with the battery in but if it turns on after you do plug it in then it will need to be out. You can try to put the battery back in after the computer and the LG support tool recognizes your phone bc after it gets done it reboots. I'm not sure if the battery is needed for it to work but mine was in but you can try it multiple times with it in and out. I freaked out too I had just bought the phone off CL and plugged it in to update and it had the connection failure a couple of times and then poof nothing no vibration no boot screen nothing. The LG people tried getting me to do a hard reset and when that wouldn't work she told me I would have to send it in and that it was still under the manufacturers warranty. I was desperate to say the least so I tried all kinds of combinations. The key is to get your pc to recognize your phone while it is off. If you can do that with the battery in I would try it that way first. If you don't have the box you will need to copy down the phones info, (IMEI and S/N) which is under the battery, for the recovery phone part of the support tool. It worked for me so I hope you have some luck with it. Also I would consider waiting until the ghost call thing gets fixed before you go to gingerbread. If I had known I would have stayed with froyo until they fixed it.

Volume down for recovery and so on. Volume up for download from tool.
If your doing the recovery method that TheDarkLestat setup then your gonna need to do the software setup and drivers step by step. Assuming you have done that. Remove the battery then plug the USB in and quickly hold down the pwr, and vol UP till it vibrates then let go. Start the loader and place the battery back in while its doing its thing . Then don't touch it till its done.
Only simply way I can think of to repair a soft bricked thrill. As long as it loads to recovery or download then our phone Is fixable. You might be able to politely ask TDL to remote in and provide a fix. He was doing that for a lot of us for a while. Though if your not gonna donate for his time then don't bother lol.
