[Q] I think its bricked... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to just update the modem file on my I9000 which was working fine... It seemed to demand a PIT file so I inputted just the PIT and the modem file.... Now... Nothing....
I have a feeling that this completely bricks my phone but I just wasnt thinking.....
Gad Damnit...
Any ideas or suggestions that dont involve sending this damn thing to bell again would be great.

It might be you checked the re partition box, which I'm poetry sure you don't do if you are just flashing a csc on its own, but I'm noobish, so its just suggestion! As for the pit as well...not sure, but hang in there, answers will come, If you have download mode then all is not lost

Basically it's next to impossible to truly brick the phone.
If you can boot into recovery or download you can fix thru myriad routes all available here on XDA if you just use search.
If you can't then life is a little more difficult, but it is relatively easy to build your own rig to force the phone into recovery.
If you can't fix yourself by those methods, there is nothing your carrier will be able to do either.

buy a jig from ebay and see if it works. There like $4

Thanks for the suggestions the responses to this thread really gives me more confidance in playing around... (just what I needed )
I will definitely be interested in making a JiG at some point just to be absolutely sure life is peachy.
Anyways I managed, to after having a sleep in between tweak sessions on this darn thing, to get it into download mode.

Check out the ezbase rom, find link on insanity thread, I use it to recover from anything and upgraded to gb with it, keep tweaking!

[Official][HOW TO] Samsung/Tmo JI6 Firmware [CONFIRMED]

Samsung has release JI6 in the USA for Tmo in their new Kies Mini, Posted their guide on my site, also this was confirmed by official samsung twitter that this is the exact same update tmo is pushing out over the air.
http://bit.ly/9KoEoq
Did you pull this one from your phone after getting the ota?
Sent from my vibrant
The Kies update would let me see the missing apps when I first launched the market. If I installed an app from the market then I could not see the protected apps anymore. Do you still see the missing apps after installing something from the market?
Just created a MD5 file, it's the same as the "[ROM] T959UVJI6 OTA Stock ODIN Flashable".
My market is still missing desktop visualizer
Market Fix
For those of you having problems with the market, download SGS tools from the market, apply market fix, and you should be able to see your apps again.
On a side note... has anyone noticed that haptic feedback does not work with the android keyboard. It only works with Sype and samsung keyboards.
There's got to be something causing the market discrepancies, but if the MD5 is the same it doesn't look like the code. Would flashing with ODIN with the pit file vs. without the pit make any difference? I believe it was common practice not to use the pit to flash the JI6 OTA.
I flashed with the pit file and the tar and I still don't see all of my apps..
I've flashed it every way I can think of with the same issues. The only one that made a difference was updating with Kies, but like I said on first market access I could see the apps but if I installed one I could no longer see them.

Yeah, Im not sure whats going on here.
From day one since I bought my phone I have had GPS problems, and I have tried every fix out there to no avail. I usually find 10 or 12 satellite but gps doesn't lock onto any of them, and usually takes forever to get a accurate reading.
I finally reverted back to complete stock jfd and am gonna wait for the JI6 OTA.
But I think I just might have to exchange this phone out for a mytouch hd, and give up the beautiful amoled
BTW Ben don't even bother arguing with the dum dums, its just a waste of good brain cells .

i was having problems with gmail not working, market apps etc...
flashed JFD with 512 pit and repartition checked.
then flashed JI6 with 512 pit and repartition unchecked.
that fixed it.
i think you have to repartition or some of the old system files get left behind.
problem is if you repartition with 512 pit and ji6 the phone doesn't boot, so you have to start with JFD and repartition it and then update to ji6

[Q] Can't flash any ROM with a hidden.rfs

Any ideas?
I have been experimenting with upgrading and down-grading my tab, it now seems that I can't flash any ROM that contains a hidden.rfs, the flash will just stop near the end of flashing the hidden.rfs and never continue, then I have to go through recovery processes to get a working tab back.
I managed to get my Tab back to CPW standard UK JJ3 by dumping the ROM from my other Tab and writing it, I then tried to update with Kies, which also hung at what seems to be exactly the same place.
I have tried repartitioning several times with the p1_add_hidden.pit but it just doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas? Can I check the size of the hidden partition see if that' the problem? Then modify the hidden.rfs to make it smaller so it fits?
Nobody at all got any feedback on this?
Anyone had any luck with this? I'm guessing it's a partitioning issue but it'd be good to know.

It sounds like you're currently partitioned without the hidden partition. I would think flashing a full ROM like JJ4 with the P1_add_hidden.pit in Odin would be the fix.
After thats up and running, use my JMC upgrade package to safely upgrade.

Roto i wanna ask you something. You say "safely" upgrade why ? Because on your FW's you remove the boot.bin and the SBL.bin ? So that a user wont be able to flash them and something go wrong ?
As far as i know my tab ( A euro one ), is factory unlocked and i will have no problem whatsoever in upgrading the bootloader and the baseband.
Isnt that right ?

Unlocking is unrelated. I say safely because flashing a bootloader is the only thing that makes me squirm. If it fails your device is toast. I never want to give anyone firmware that has the potential to destroy their device. I'd feel bad

And you are so right in removing them...
The leaks from Samsung's servers of JM6/JMA/JMC/JMD flash a signed recovery, after flashing it is impossible to flash unsigned sbl, boot, and zImage. No more downgrade (and possibly upgrade).

I thought my original post covered this? I can't flash _any_ ROM that uses the hidden partition. I have tried repartitioning a dozen times wit hthe p1_add_hidden.pit, that goes through fine, but NO ROM, full or otherwise, down or up from my current one will successfully complete flashing the "hidden" partition.

You never mentioned JJ4 or Odin specifically, hence my post. Unless you spell out exactly which firmwares you tried and which software you used to flash with, how can anyone offer assistance?
If you've tried ALL firmware and All flashing software, that leaves only your computer or Tab at fault.

Im not really worried about my Tab, i just think its a cause for concern that somehow iv stumbled on this problem. If its just the flash in my tab thats damaged its not a problem.
I have tried every firmware available on samfirmware as well as ripping the firmware from an identical tab i have.
Neither Heimdall, Kies nor Odin (either version) would get past flashing hidden and they all stop at about the same point. I have tried flashing various firmware without hidden with no problems. If i then repartition it will flash about 80% of the hidden then just stops.
Problem isnt my pc, i have tried several machines and virtual machines.
I think its a curious problem that would be good to find the cause of.

I'm around and will hop on the channel now. Don't have too long but maybe we can look into this a bit.
I just noticed what has veen going on with tje secured boot loaders etc. I will check mine with the script once I get home from my trip tomorrow to see if any info froem my tab is relevent to fixing the problem. I noticed a mention of creating jigs, im not sure what hardware is required but I have a couple of usb-rs232 connectors on order for an unrelated project so if it requires the same hardware I can put a spare one to use and build a jtag/jig cable for the tab and see if I can help the cause.

Question for rotohammer
Once upon a time I bricked my Verizon Galaxy Tab trying to flash a custom ROM, the only way I could bring it back was by using Odin and flashing the hidden pit. Now every time I install the original verizon rom my tab is extremely, extremely slow. I have been trying to reformat and wipe clean to start over, but I haven't had any luck.
Any suggestions on how to: either flash the right pit on it or remove the hidden partition? Anything I can do to bring my tab to full speed. I have also tried the overclocked rom with voodoo5, and at this point anything I put there is extremely slow. The only way I can get it to operate normally (Kind of) is to flash the Honeycomb Alpha rom, then restore to a day when it was working fine, however this breaks my auto rotate sensor.
That is how I use it now a days, but it sucks that I cannot use it on landscape mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Follow up from my previous question to rotohammer
By the way, just in case you were wondering, the rom I flashed to unbrick it was a GSM ROM, that was the only way to make it past the Samsung logo.
So, my theory is that I have problems with it because now I am trying to flash CDMA roms to a GSM partition/files system? Excuse me if my post does not make much sense or I am using the wrong terminology, I am extremely new a this. I just know enough to get myself in trouble.
Thank you again for any help.
I've encountered the same problem as the original poster. SGT with CPW CSC causes problems with the hidden.rfs when trying to flash ROMs. Does appear to be a size issue with the hidden partition - I wonder whether this has been sized incorrectly when it was originally flashed as re-partitioning doesn't help. I'm currently on a XEU ROM so I guess I'll find out when Gingerbread is officially released whether I can flash that or not. If not, I think it'll need to the internal SD card repartitioning.
Anyone got any tips on how to do this?

[Q] SGS user urgently need help!!

Firstly guys, I'd like to apologise for this being my first post. I'm usually a regular over at the SGS forums but am yet to have had a response. I'm ****ting bricks currently, so here goes...
ARGH wtf. Just as I thought I had the perfect phone, it messes up! Darky's ROM went mad on me. Kept rebooting the phone. Kept vibrating throughout. No idea what's wrong with it. Tried to do a wipe install of the ROM again, but the bloody thing has disappeared from the SD card! What am I going to do now? Reflash back to my previous firmware and start all over again, AGAIN? Ffs.
Just for the record, I'm basically stuck in recovery mode. It's either that or staring at the Nexus S logo as it attempts to boot, over and over and over... I'm so angry right now! I didn't do anything to the phone for this to happen! Bad luck or what. Really hope there is a solution to this. I don't suppose there's anyway of accessing the device's SD memory when in recovery mode? I just need to plant the update.zip on the SD card again so I can reflash it!

[EDIT] Oh and by the way, I still have full access to my three-button combo modes. Clockwork recovery console and Download mode still fully accessible.
Hi
I'm also new here and got my SGS yesterday, but i had a HTC Desire before.
If you can get in to Clockworkmod recovery you should be able to push the file via adb to the sdcard. That was possible on the Desire at least.

Just flash back to eclair again. The time it took you to get an answer on a forum is longer tham the time it takes to flash.

I'm guessing you screwed up without diabling lagfixes or something, just install JM8 with repartition enabled and using pit 512 file again then install clockwork update.zip then install whatever rom (but in this case darkys). It starts to become habbit when testing new roms to do all of them steps, The first time something happens you **** bricks but soon relize the SGS is alot more brick poof then you think (unless you are one of the poor souls with broken recovery modes)
But anyways, calm the hell down. Everything is fine.

I've absolutely no idea what files to flash... I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing with the SGS. Quite embarrassing actually because I used to flash my old Omnia HD with no problems whatsoever! Don't suppose you could link to files.
Don't worry, your Galaxy is not bricked. Please see here how to reflash from a PC.
I've downloaded all necessary files... I've got a CODE a MODEM the 512.pit but no CSC? Am I okay to flash with no CSC?

CSC contains all carrier-related (like APNs) data.
Depending on the type of packaging some CODE files are complete with CSC.
In any case, you can flash a CSC (like ITV or XEU) even later.
Before to go with flash, I'd like to advise you to backup /efs folder on your SD and/or your PC. This is the only folder with information (like your IMEI configuration) that cannot be recovered in case of a total data loss.
After a long gruelling process of flashing and reflashing, I'm back on Darky's ROM. Problem though - App market is messed up. I can't download anything from the Market and it's also the 'old' Market theme... I think has something to do with the fact that I've flashed from Eclair straight to Darky's? (Which I was advised to do...) - How can I get my Market working again?! Everything is fine besides that!
[EDIT] I now have the new market interface but still cannot download a thing!

Hardbricked even though ODIN said successful????

I was flashing my phone back to stock tonight and even though ODIN said it completed successfully (passed all the steps, incl SBL.BIN), it is completely dead; won't turn on.
I'm assuming I'll need Connexion's debrick service now, but the big question is HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I can't figure out WTF went wrong even though ODIN went through 100% fine.........
Basically, the download mode status bar went to full and the software said successful, but the phone never rebooted.
Any help would be great.

Which Odin did you use, and what were you on before you flashed Odin?

I was using ODIN 1.81 (same as I'd used 2 days earlier and have used MANY times on this Cappy).
In was running Mosaic 6 (I think it was 6).
I haven't checked the thread you mentioned; I will. I've got a jig and that isn't working; Won't power on, nothing. Tried 3 button combo; nothing.
^ Was that the "3 button fix" Odin that u used to flash back to stock ??
If so, then it only flashes the sbl.bin and NOT the boot.bin file. And that would be the reason that you are now hard bricked. Because coming from Gingerbread bootloaders and flashing only the sbl.bin from the stock 2.1 eclair, you now have mixed bootloaders, which = brick.
But at least that brick can be fixed these days.

Actually, I was using the Odin v1.81 that came with my copy of All in One Toolbox - Funny thing is, this is the version that I downloaded back in March; it'd been working fine for months. This was the first issue I'd ever had with it.
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this was also the first time you used this coming from gingerbread.
Pretty sure the aio contained the "3 button fix" which very irresponsibly only contains one bootloader.
I wish aio would die.
People defend it because its a helpful program. I'd like to remind everyone reading this. Aio is and always be closed source. The developer lost the source. The program is unmaintained. The program is a one-click nuker. The program is responsible for a lot of bricks
I fought the battle to have it removed from the site. I lost. Its time for others to step up and report that program. Aio captivate toolbox is a captivate deathtrap.

Trying to Format Galaxy S but its still retains infomation?

I have a Galaxy S, had some software issues, and bit the bullit and did a hard reset (hte 3 buttons) this didnt fix, so i flashed (no PIT) and this didnt fix
so i've done the PIT + the 3 files, then straight after clear cache, hard reset, reboot and there is still apps (the ones causing the problem) and personal information, like my emails and my email account still on there, all my routers i'm connected to etc.
how do i get this phone back to factory fresh, no information on it apart from the basic. just like it was the first time i switched it on?
its doing my head in

I wonder if flashing cm7 and then resetting might help???? As it uses a different file system. Just a thought.
Or maybe flashing eclair jm9 - it's a cure-all for most ills.

Jm9 can be downloaded from samfirmware.com use pit 512.
Or try flashing cm7 from recovery first.
Worth a bash. I'd be very surprised if jm9 didn't work though.

i have PIT 512 from a previuos dowload, but JM9 is another story, samfirmware has no firmware, its on sam mobile, but searching on there for JM9 gives no results, all the links in the forums are either 403 or 404 errors.
but i still cant find a how to install JM9, apart from "just flash JM9"

Or try flashing cm7 from recovery first.
Worth a bash. I'd be very surprised if jm9 didn't work though.

I have a Galaxy S, had some software issues, and bit the bullit and did a hard reset (hte 3 buttons) this didnt fix, so i flashed (no PIT) and this didnt fix
so i've done the PIT + the 3 files, then straight after clear cache, hard reset, reboot and there is still apps (the ones causing the problem) and personal information, like my emails and my email account still on there, all my routers i'm connected to etc.
how do i get this phone back to factory fresh, no information on it apart from the basic. just like it was the first time i switched it on?
its doing my head in

had this problem too, reset as normal, and then once you flashed over to whatever rom you want, go to sd card and phone storage and "format USB storage" pls be sure to hit the "Thanks" button hope i helped
CM7 based roms can be found in dev section. If I have time tomorrow, I'll upload jm9 to my Dropbox if u still need it.

i've done that twice now, doing EXACTLY hat it says, double checking every step to make sure,
and my phone still retails some programme/app info and some of my personal info
this is even after i have uninstalled them, deleted them etc.
the problem now is the apps are causing major issues.
i'll do a video tomorrow of what i'm doing to prove i'm not being a fcuktard at this.
That is one messed up sgs sorry that didn't work
