Help pls: My fone doesnt open after firmware upgrade

Pls can anyone help me im sooooo desperate. i just upgraded my fone via kies but after upgrade my fone is now blank, i cant use it anymore. pls hell. did i brick my fone??? can i bring it to life again??

You should try to reinstall the stock firmware. First see if you can get into download mode. Two ways, while your phone is off, hold down volume, the home button, and power button together till you get a yellow sign that has a digging android. If that don't work, other way is to take battery out, hold down volume, home button, and power together and reinsert the battery. Once you get to that stage, use Odin to reinstall your firmware.

shud all my apps be restored?? or back to square 1?

Well seeing as though you updated via kies, all your apps are deleted. I would just start fresh and back to stock. After that I would install a custom rom from the forums here, in my opinion, these rom makers do a great job making Roms that will make your phone be a phone and more

I wouldn't really say you bricked your phone. If you can get into download mode you are clear and your phone can come back to life. Just so you know.

i tried doing the download mode but i cant get to that

Two choices return phone to Samsung saying broke under Kies update .
Or use recovery jig and flash stock firmware this is an unofficial method that will invalidate your warranty .

i got the yellow digging but my fone is not connected to my pc. i turned it off again. so should i connect my fone via usb to my pc? then press again the 3 bttons?

Sorry went to bed, just woke up. Anyways download the stock firmware for your phone. Make sure you download the right one. Meaning if you have the i9000M, download i9000M, or if you have i9000T, download i9000T. If you check behind your battery you'll.find your model. I don't think it really matters, I mean your just gonna flash another rom once your phone is back to life for sure. ;-)

Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help

Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)

I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!

sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick

I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.

Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

Not booting up at all Plz if ther's any help

[Q] Is my GT_i9000 dead?

Hi, I need some advice. I dropped my Galaxy S in a puddle. It was submerged for the just a second, but when I fished it out, the screen had gone 'weird', so I got the battery out as quickly as possible, then dried it out for a few days in the airing cupboard. I then tried it and it started up okay, then when I swiped to unlock the screen, it froze. since then I have been unable to boot the phone. It shows the Galaxy logo, then restarts and continues that loop.
I wondered if maybe the software has just been corrupted during its bath, so I thought i might try flashing a ROM onto it to see if that would recover. I found that I could not enter recovery mode but download mode opened okay. I have tried flashing a few ROMS using Odin. I am completely new to this and have never flashed my phone before, so steep learning curve. I have so far tried - I9000XWJW5 which I believe is normally used before installing Cyanogen mod. I also downloaded the T-Mobile Stock ROM and one with this filename - CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS. All of these successfully downloaded to the phone and I could see the progress bar on the phone. Unfortunately I still cannot get the phone into recovery mode.
So, whats your opinion? is my phone screwed? Is there anything else I can try which may help, like formatting or anything like that.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

try search for value pack 2.3.6 and flash it then root it after that I believe you should get the recovery option.

Can I do that without being able to get into recovery mode?
I've just been reading that I can use a PIT file to repartition during flashing. Is it worth trying? I noticed in the Value pack TAR file it does not have a PIT file. I got one downloaded from somewhere else called - s1_odin_20100512.pit worth a shot?

I tried including the pit file as well. Odin reported success but phone is still continuous boot loop and I cannot get recovery mode up. Do you think one of those USB things that get you into download mode would help? I'm beginning to think the internal SD is knackered, or something like that.

I think the memory is brocken but i don't realy know. Send it to Samsung for a check

[Q] HELP! i think i bricked my 5830D!

So I, (like apparently many other 5830D users) was having the bug where it would randomly restart for no apparent reason.
i read that froyo did not have this issue, and figured id give it a shot. i downloaded the ZSKC2 2.2.1 files and loaded them into odin with cooper_v1.0.ops, connected my phone and hit start.
it said it installed everything just fine, but when my phone went to reboot, it didnt.
it flashed a black, blank screen for maybe a second and that was it.
so i tried to go back into download mode on it so i could reinstall the firmware it had before, and i couldnt get it to work.
it would turn on the screen, flash the "downloading..." text for a second, and then turn off the screen. it was weird, because the text was white, not the yellow it always seemed to be. odin recognized my phone for that second, but that was it. once the display turned off, the connection went away. i've tried other usb ports, but no luck
is there any way i can fix this? or is my ace bricked for good? i have no warranty with it because i bought it used.
ive read about a USB jig, will that help?
please, any help at all would mean a lot!

1) You should have taken the bill & the warranty card from the owner you bought this phone.
Coming to the point, it appears to me that there might be a problem with your battery, but I ain't sure about this. Try using a different battery with your phone. Also, are you sure to have used the odin & stock rom for S5830D & not S5830 ? Check these aspects first. If you've got them right, then there'll be either a multi-package or a single package filed stock rom for your device. You can google for the exact odin flashing, try again to boot into download mode again & flash. If your phone fails again to go into the download mode, use the search option here on xda to find out the issue with your phone or the best thing to do would be go to the service centre & tell them that donno what went wrong & this happened.

okay, i tried the battery from my other phone and got it into download mode, i installed the stock rom and it is working again, but the reboot problem is still there!
is there any way to fix that? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel, other roms still reboot and apparently froyo doesnt, the only thing common between all the gingerbread roms that i can think of is the kernel.
i have flashed S5830,T,L,B roms with no issues, but the reboot still occurs. cyanogen hasnt helped either, do you have any clues?

After flashing via odin, if you face a bootloop, reboot into stock recovery & do a factory reset & reboot now. It should work.

..but it is not tuck in a boot loop. its doing what the stock roms did; it'll boot into the rom fine, and you can use it, but once it goes to sleep the phone restarts itself.
