What rom where you on before ?

Well phone where updated with Froyo 2.1 but nothing else. oh it were also rooted and thats about it! have been thinking about to sending phone back to the manufacturer! dont really have time trying to find some cure for it.

Rooting = no warranty so you would be best to clear it via jig just in case .

hi there it been longtime since i wroted here.
Well i tryed the jig method with usb cable and with single 300k resistance, made little mistake not to measure it before because there is a 5% tolerance with it so my resistance were only 294k. Doesnt work btw phone dont do anything with it, well i have to make new cable and be sure that it is the 301k resistance. will be adding new info after it what will happen. Im slightly scare that even getting that right resistance it wount do anything, it wuold be that point when i will send it to samsung and maybe get it working again.

Downloading...
okay. next problem with jig managed to get my phone to download mode!! JIIHAA
but now my computer cant regonize it!? actually this problem had before the magical black screen. Any solutions for that? have installed new usb drivers and oldones but cant find it.
PLS need more help!!

Sounds like you need to clean the cable. I've had a hell of a time with these issues in the past. When it is on again off again (or you just get 'generic device' or unkown device) then try cleaning the port on the computer with running alcholol and something tiny enough to get in there.
I did that after a huge long search on here and it was like freakin magic. 8 drivers popped up all at once!
Never hurts to do the comp and the cable too (and make sure its not a charging only micro usb...).

Completely bricked?

Hey all!
Today my phone seems to have completely died, it only boots into speedmod recovery but wont let me do anything in it, I managed to access the 'Install Zip from SD card' but there was nothing there it said. It wont boot into android what so ever. I again managed to access speedmod recovery and get to mount for storage mode which when connected shown no files.
It hasn't worked right since I was pushed over in town, I landed onto of my phone and it came out unscathed but since then it has crashed allot and the when I remove the back the smell of like when a capacitor has blown up (If you don't know that smell it's nasty, my tutor at college popped one to show us what happened, he was actually bored and wanted to do something fun and random XD) but yeah it stinks like that really bad.
I tried to boot into download mode and access it to install stocks but my computer hasn't picked it up at all in any way, doesn't even play the device connected or device faulty sound...
=/ I guess it is broken. What can you tell me? Any help would be awesome.

Hi, first of all don't panic until you have tried every possible fix.
I had once a problem when the phone only would boot up to an ugly exclamation mark and a drawing telling me to plug it to the computer, but the computer din't even notice when I plugged the phone so I supposed it was dead.
I would recommend you to try to make the JIG cable recommended in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551, I managed to put my phone in a working download mode and use odin to flash the SO again
Hope this helps
Hey! Thanks for the quick reply but unfortunately I tried this and nothing would happen. I had the download mode problem when I first tried to install custom roms, it worked then but unfortunately this time it hasn't =[
From what you say I would be very careful, from the smell you describe it sounds like a short somewhere, and could feasibly cause a fire , so pull the battery!

Smell of burned capacitor? Dude, dont turn it on.
Take battery off, disassemble it and watch the mainboard for any broken elements, if you have got a little electronic physics knowledge then take service manual, all onboard elements are marked there as R, C and so on, test them with multimeter, or ask someone to do it and pray you'll find damaged element. Start checking from power circuits (most likely the biggest capacitors sets onboard)
Also some soldering around may be broken, on battery circuit it would cause high temperature gain, use magnifying glass and little tool to make careful pressure to check it.
If some BGA chip unsoldered/bricked, then you are screwed. Maybe you know someone in hi tech service can resolder it for you, as usually it is not cheap.
Thanks for your help, I haven't disassembled the phone where the scent had grown stronger then faded slowly, I placed the battery back into the device enough so that the contacts were fully meeting and the scent came back strong. I will check it with a multi meter to see if there is any kind of fault to do with that.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated =]
FIXED
Hey guys,
I just want to post a quick update to say I've got my Galaxy S working again. I managed to get the phone into download mode and it was eventually picked up in Odin3 I managed to get the phone working again, rooted and installed Darky's ROM 10 and as it turns out it is that causing the problem, sorry Darky but it doesn't work for me, 9.5 runs like a dream though so it's all good on that front.
Just got all my apps downloaded and installed and everything is in perfect order.
The wierd smell I spoke of in an earlier post is actually because of the wallet I kept my phone in, I've taken it out n it's stopped smelling so I've bought a new wallet for it, don't know why it smelled, probably because I kept my phone in my friends rucksack which has had alsorts spilled in it XD Thanks for the advice, it was much appreciated.

[Q] SGS I9000 computer crashed while updating flashing

My computer crashed while trying to flash an SGS I9000 through Odin. The phone will not boot at all - the screen just stays off. I've tried pulling the battery for extended periods but it makes no difference. I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. The screen seems permanently off.
When I put the battery in and plug the phone into the computer it tries (and fails) to install a driver for a "SEC S59C110 Test B/D".
I've tried the 301K resistor jig but it did not seem to do anything.
Any ideas on what I can do? The phone is long out of warranty, so if the phone is permanently dead then I'll just have to buy a new one (though I'm hoping for a fix, if possible!)

read this too..
it's basically the same thing, but it talks about the possibility of using the unbrickable mod without doing the hardware mod... (if i got it right) wich i think it is your case because the computer is able to enumerate usb.

good luck!
and let us know
interesting, keep us updated if you try unbrickable

It's very strange that the jig fails on these situation.
Maybe that the jig is not correctly built....
Why don't you try with another usb dongle?
I hope that you solve your problem.
I can't believe it - I'm absolutely astounded. UnBrickable and Heimdall worked and they brought the phone back to life! Thank you guys so much!
you did the hardware mod for unbrickable?
No, I dismantled the phone and when I saw how tiny the resistors were I shat my pants.
I tried it without doing the hardware mods first, and I was going to mod it only if it failed (which, fortunately, it didn't!)
you lucky one then if the bootloader would be f.... up you would have to techmod
but anyways gg ;]

[Q] Help me please. Who's up for a challenge?? I have one for you!

I've got a rooted Captivate and I was running CM7. Yesterday, I went into CWM and did a back up and I was going to flash a new ROM. The problem is I forgot to wipe everything, I just loaded the zip from SD card and now the phone turns on, shows the white AT&T screen then gets stuck on the Galaxy S cyanogen(mod) screen.
Here's the 1st problem!!
I cannot get the phone to go into recovery mode. I've tried every combination of volume and power buttons you can think of. I've also tried power volume and home button... That actually made the phone reboot so I had a glimmer of hope thrown in my face right before the phone just got stuck on the same galaxy cyanogenmod screen. If i hold those buttons down, it does an actual boot loop over and over...
Here's the second and much bigger problem!!
I have a broken Micro USB port. (of course I do, why would this just be easy for me?!?!) Before this issue, I would plug the phone in while it's off or on and it would show it charging, however the phone would not charge at all. If I plugged it into a computer, the computer would show that there is new hardware but it would never install correctly and I wouldn't be able to access it.
As of now, when I plug the phone in to either wall or computer, and I apply some force to the USB plug at the phone I can get the screen to light up like it's going to charge but it never turns green like it's charging, it just stays at that little spinny thing in the middle of the batter picture on the screen.
I've tried both odin2 as well as heimdall... The problem is that there is no way for me to get them to recognize the phone. Weird enough though, I can get the phone to go into download mode by playing the power, volume, plug in USB game. It takes a few times but I can get it to work. I'm pretty much stuck from there though.
I am working on finding someone to fix the USB port for me but it's micro soldering and has proven to be quite difficult for me to accomplish.
I'm pretty much out of options right now. Does anyone have any advice or super secret squirrel stuff that could force this dang thing into some sort of recovery mode??? I would greatly appreciate any help!!!!!
look in my sig USB PORT REPAIR
Thanks
Hey, thanks a lot for that link. It looks promising. I'm going to try something tomorrow that hopefully fixes the usb port. If not then I"m going to look to get it fixed professionally... Thanks again...
I recommend that service as I have used it. very professional and great support!
Getting it repaired
I found a place by my house and the guy is going to fix the port for 25 bucks, including a new port.. Can't beat that...

Thanks, I'm going to give this service a try to fix my headphone jack. I think the sensor is broken and thinks headphones are always plugged in.
What ROM are you running. as an I9000 ROM with out a proper kernel will do this!
I was running CM7 with a Glitch Kernel and I was trying to go to TeamHackSung's ICS PORT BUILD 14.

[Q] i9000 Bricked completely, Flashed captivate rom

Ok, Ive looked around and to my despair ive tried everything and have not been able to do anything. What happened was I flashed a CM9 nightly onto my Galaxy S i9000 and was stuck at the S during booting. I couldnt get into recovery but I could do download mode.
I was looking around and stupid me found a one click ODIN that was for the CAPTIVATE only, which I should have read that first....
So then what happened was it turned on and got stuck at an AT&T screen during boot, couldnt get into download no matter what I tried. Then I just left it at that screen because I was pissed off with myself.
Not long after I left it, I came back for another crack at fixing it, but the phone was off, was cold, and couldnt turn it on. I cant charge it, I cant do any sequence of events to get it to even feel remotely responsive. and now I may as well just buy the Galaxy II.
I do want to save my little friend of a phone though that I have had for 2 years, I might buy a jig if I can find one for like 1 AUD on ebay or something, but am unsure that it will work.
So please im begging someone, is there any way I can revive my little buddy. I am begging for a response that works :'(
U got soldering skills ? Search adamoutler for the unbrickable mod.
To get ur battery up and running ask some Samsung center nearby to help charge the battery for u . Or ask a buddy with a working sgs to charge it for u .
If ur hopelessly lost Samsung will fix it for a cost .

dont give up just yet!!
leave it plugged into a usb port for at least 1 hour see if anything comes up on the screen.
try that and then report back! you may find it gives a logo of (connect pc to phone) if it does that let me know and i will give you a guide with links to install from fresh with odin

I think my S4 active is hard brick

Hello!, I am new in this, but I think my S4 active At&t model (SGH-i537) is hard brick because for what i have read it has all the things a HB phone has. Although I didnt try downloding or change anything on it (I say this because everybody says that you get hardbricked when you try to install roms or chane something else of you phone). The battery was low, I didnt chager it at night so when I waked up it had already turned off (discharged).... .after that I tried to charge it, but didnt work, I tried diffrent chargers and cables and even a new battery and a complete charged one and nothing, the pc wont recognize it, and i cant get into recovery or download mode, I have tried everything, i even bought a usb jib and didnt work on it (and it was not the usb because i tried on another phone and it worked). I dont know what else to do. would It be a motherboard problem - hardware? if so, .. changing it (buying a new one) its the only solution? For what i have read they are expensive, i think it would be better to bu a new phone. please help me!!! the phone it seems like new and i can stand that it doesnt work, i used all my saving to buy it!...... :crying::crying:
