Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.2 (FROYO) system upgraded from 2.1 version using oden.
Yesterday I tried to update this system because I have some problem in my phone (shutdown automatically...). I used the same method I used before to UPGRADE the system (oden write SBL above the port number colored in yellow).
Unfortunately, when the phone was in "download mode", oden has stop working on 30% approx. it says that the com port is not available (knowing that this port worked correctly when oden established the connection). So I removed the battery from my phone...... (I know it is a stupid idea).
Now the phone do not start-up and when I connect it to pc nothing happens.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me what must I do??
Thank you guys
Can You Boot the phone into download mode manually ?
press volume down + home + power simultaneously
ps that wasn't stupid idea - it was the only solution to turn off broken flashing, but You must try boot it again to download mode and flash again but this time make sure that every file is properly placed in odin: file with MODEM as phone, CSC to CSC and third to PDA.
Oy.
As far as I know losing power to the phone or rebooting the pc while flashing the bootloader is one of the only ways to properly brick the sgs.
This sounds bad...very bad. If the bootloader had been erased but the new one hadn't been written before you pulled the battery, then I fear it is Goodnight Charlie. No bootloader, no phone.
If you can use the three button method to get to download mode as the post above me suggested, you will be alright.
If not....maybe a jig but I would doubt it.

Hi,
The button combination do not work
what did you mean by "jig". I am sure there is a solution
You seem expert so you can find a creative solution
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551 or give it to nearest samsung service, just say it is broken doesn't start - do never ever say its broken because i flashed it
Long time ago i have bricked motorola, said its broken and wont start - what they did was main-board replacing of course free by warranty

I purchase this phone locked for orange in France and I unlocked it to use it outside France. Can this cause a problem?
Best regards
I agree that a service center is your.only option now.

i would strongly suggest you first try building the jig with resistors
if that doesn't get you into download mode, then you can take the phone to your provider.
good luck mate

How can I do this, I know that if the Samsung logo does not appear (like my case), then this method will not work. What do you think?
are you able to see the following image on your phone when you start it up?

}
if you see this then it can be saved, if its just a black screen you are kind of screwed
Does the phone show any reaction? Does the acreen show anything? Any Sound? If it's just a black stone and doesnt react at all, send it to Samsung and as reason for the phone to be bricked, just say Kies f***ed it up while you tried to sync contacts or so. I did that one week ago and as you can see it's working again.
Well if it shows reaction try building your own jig as mentioned in the thread above or buy one from ebay to boot your phone into download mode.

ONLY black screen. The phone is out of warranty, will this cost a lot? they will fix it by hardware (change a part) or by software?
Try this:
1. Take everything out of the phone (sim, micro sd, battery)
2. Press volume up+home+power
3. Put the battery back in while still having the three buttons pressed.
4. Hopefully you are in download mode.

I lost connection to the PC when reflashing back to Stock 2.3.5 and now the phone only displays a picture of a phone and a PC with a triangle warning sign between them. (wish I could post the pic).
I can't get into download mode or recovery mode. Tried 3-button and USB cable method but no luck. Any ideas before I panic? Do I likely need a jig to fix?
Thanks!

Having a Jig is always a good idea. Remove battery, open Odin, connect phone in PC press Vol up and down, insert battery. If that doesn't work then get a jig.
If for whatevever reason after the Odin process you get the "Firmware Upgrade fail !, Try using recovery mode" screen,
don't worry. Treat that screen just like the regular download screen. Go ahead and pull the battery and
get back into download mode (that failure screen will come up), Odin should recognize your phone and then you can repeat
the Odin process. And it should Pass.
Thanks for reply. Tried everything to get Odin to recognize but no luck. Might need to see how fast I can get a jig...
If ur screen has the "Firmware upgrade fail etc., etc." then Odin will recognize ur phone. Close the Odin, then right click it and run as administrator, then connect ur phone to the computer (use a usb in the back of it if u r on a desktop or first port on a laptop--don't use a usb hub). Then if the com port on Odin turns yellow, u r good to go.

Looks like I hard bricked my cappy finally after a year and a half of flashing it...it is my fault, I thought my cable was securely plugged into my computer, but my cat decided to walk in between my phone and the computer, unplugging it during an Odin flash...Now all I get is a black screen and nothing. I reseated the battery, same deal....did the whole, remove battery, hold down vol up and vol down and plugged in usb and then placed battery in and still no love....I also tried the normal, remove battery, replace battery, hold down vol up and vol down and then plugging in usb...nothing...computer doesn't beep as to recognize a usb deivce has been plugged in and I even booted into my Linux box and it doesnt see it...I think I finally killed it...I do have a Jig on order though that is set to arrive tomorrow...I am hoping that puts me in download mode, if not it looks like I am buying a SG2. Anyone else have any ideas that I could throw a this thing other than what I already did? I mean I even tried different versions of Odin and Odin wont even recognize it.

The phone-pc-triangle is not a hard brick.
1. Use adam outler's one click unbrick. For this, i have to ask if your COMPUTER (not necessarily) even sees the device.
2. or it is jig time. If you cannot wait, and can access radio shack, make this simple jig http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128. There are lots like this.......I know, because this home made one worked just fine for me.
Remember, for some reason the second time around the exact same 'jig" - previously used - did not work, so it looks like a one time shot ??
good luck !
i have had odin recognize and flash my phone with the PHONE /!\ PC screen many times. try it. if odin turns yellow it will probably flash.

Ubuntu comes with open something jre. Use that. Right click and open as java
Ah, I used a Live CD to install my copy of Ubuntu, it looks like i didnt install that tool when I installed the OS. I am looking through the software installer within Ubuntu to see where I can find that.
Edit: I did finally get it to run, unfortunately the Unbrickable software says, Failed to find Device. So it looks like I need to ship this thing out for some mods.
Well, I got my Jig....My cappy is dead...The jig did not do anything, I knew it was a slight chance that it would work.
Who can fix this phone in a hard brick state that its in??

Actually I had the same problem. Was doing a flash with Odin, it failed. Tried to get into download mode and couldnt with buttons. I yried my jig and it didnt work. I swore my jig was bad but it wasnt. I unbricked it with the Heimdall Captivate Unbricker software. I think it was called One Click Unbrick or something. Once I got it installed it worked like a charm and I was able to get it working again.

@OP: can you into download mode? if not make or buy a jig...its around 2-3 dollars off ebay..
If you can go into download mode and Odin can see it but failing then just try running Odin as admin, changing cables, changing USB ports, changing computer...u r not completely bricked...complete brick means no sign of life at all....I have seen that screens many times no problem...
OP, I would also suggest looking at the connection issues post in my signature. Try all those steps to get the computer to recognize your phone first.
completely bricked means you have nothing. Phone doesn't light up at all. I would know, I've done it.

Pay attention to the pop-up about installing drivers. The flash WILL fail the first time because your partitioning is wrong. Select the flash bootloaders option after that and flash again.
made a jig with the 100k resistors from radio shack. now it isnt working. when it did work, i tried odin with three different samsung cables(stock, gs2, focus), on two different computers, odin got stuck at the same spot everytime. i uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers at least 3 times. I remember the first time i rooted it and put cyanogenmod on it it was using the galaxys drivers for some reason.
i'll try the last few suggestions, but if its a no-go, i would seriously just mail this off to someone with some cash who can fix it, things driving me nutz.

my phone is soft bricked
I was trying different roms and when i moved to cm7 i found that my download mode is not working through adb and key combination plus usb plug in methods. so in recovery mode i tried to install some other rom and after 2-3 tries to install the rom i got in position that when i reboot my cappy, it shows att logo screen and then it stucks there. when it is off and put usb cable in it, it show circles (the same for charging) but not the battery signal.
i made a usb jig and it does not seem to work. i hv checked with multimeter that when i connect the jib it provides 296k ohm on the pins 4-5. (i hv opened the device and checked the jig resistance while connected). i am considering the 4-5 pins are the closest to microphone jack
adams detect mode does not detect device even in ubuntu.
windows (7 64bit )does not detect it to be connected.
As i have opened the device for un-brickable mod but it seems to be impossible for me to do it myself. i live in bahrain (gulf). it is very small place to find some good soldering skill guy. it will be very costly and time consuming it to send it to someone in usa to do mod for me.
please help me regarding this.
Could someone please help me?
I succesfully installed "Universal auto Install Root, Busybox, Enable BLN , Init.d support, Swap support and OC kernel upto 1.1Ghz".
My phone was running perfect, but I wanted to try Swapper 2 (for Root users). After I installed Swapper 2 and rebooted my phone, the Samsung logo appears (and is moving a bit strange) and my phone won't boot.
I don't see any graphics on the screen, so I don't know if I'm able to boot recovery mode.
Odin is stuck on '<ID:0/010> SetupConnection..'.
First, I used the method from mk-14 to root my S6500D.
After that, I flashed the original Mini 2 firmware from SamFirmware.
Then, I flashed ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.8 (Jena).
After that, I flashed "Universal auto Install Root, Busybox, Enable BLN , Init.d support, Swap support and OC kernel upto 1.1Ghz".
The problem started after I used Parted Magic to add a swap partition (already had a EXT4 partition) to my SD card and installed Swapper 2 (for Root users). After I turned off my phone, it wouldn't boot normally anymore.
There are no graphics when booting. Only a black background, strange white bar (which is moving a little bit) on the side and the white Samsung logo. After trying some button combinations, sometimes it boots without the Samsung logo (so a black background with a white bar which sometimes becomes 1px smaller).

go to samsung service center.they will fix it for 20 euro...
Yeah, I also think it's bricked.
I hope it doesn't take very long to fix it. I'm already experiencing withdrawal symptoms .
Do you have any idea what I did wrong?
I created a swap partition on my SD card and installed the app you recommended. Did you also tried that app?

"Universal auto Install Root, Busybox, Enable BLN , Init.d support, Swap support and OC kernel upto 1.1Ghz" from squadzone was running fine on my phone for a couple of days.
All I can say is that in my case, my phone got bricked after adding a swap partition to my SD card with Parted Magic (GParted), installing Swapper 2 and applying some settings.
I don't want to say right now that installing Swapper 2 equals bricking your phone. It could have been a combination of factors that led to the brick of my phone. But I think you should be careful. My phone was running smooth anyway, so I don't know if it was necessary to add a swap partition. I just wanted to try it.

Hate to say this too, but you where right :laugh:.
Today, the phone didn't boot at all...
I went to a local Samsung Service Center (with the 20 euro's you mentioned in mind). They told me it had to be send to Samsung. It would probably cost more then the value of a new device (I mentioned it was rooted). After that, they advised me to bring it to the store where I bought it, so I did.
The store is going to send it to Samsung (which means I have to miss it for about three weeks). I hope it doesn't cost me much. They mentioned, I only have to pay if the cause is water damage or damage from falling.

Try to manually get in recovery, it might take a few tries.
As for your usb port problem.. It might be worth getting it replaced/fixed as the cappy highly depends on it.

I don't think you're doing this right. Getting in download mode, you have to be unplugged, phone turned off and hold vol down + power.

Yes, I already recovery mode but does not work, is that he is as frizzy, send for the USB JIG for amazon to see if that works. I hope if works if not then I will comment to follow their opinions.
Unfortunately did not work with USB JIG!. I think it needs a JTAG!. and I q Pay not worth 40 dollars for a JTAG! if you find another way to enter download mode will thank you many times!. the phone turns itself I think that's what it does not enter download mode with JIG USB. Powering the button is damaged.
What ROM you were running before flashing CyanCore kernel?
How did you find USB is not working? Are you using the original Samsung USB cable?

The rom you were using is [4.2.2] GamerzROM Legend Edition v4.0
and yes use the Samsung USB Cable.
the power button when I bought apparently not working but I did not need as the phone turns putting the battery.
now I do not know if this hurting to use USB JIG.
the phone is as frizzy as when I install the cable before putting the battery and put the battery and stays like in the picture I put up
Install only when CyanCore kernel. and gave him a Reboot Recovery, so stayed on the screen in White logo AT & T, I just wanted to install the version 4.3
either I get into recovery mode with Volume Up + Down before if I did.
Well, with so many hardware issues playing with custom ROMs is not a good idea in a first place. Anything that goes wrong kills your phone with no way to recover it.

Well the phone turned on. I think it will be fixed.
I have a new s5 mini that suddenly just gave me a memory partition error that said the I had to restore the device to the factory settings. It had a button that gave the option to reset the phone but when I touched it the phone didn't do anything. So I decided to go to recovery mode and reset it from there.
I asked a friend to boot into recovery mode for me and i guess she used the wrong combination of buttons but she got into a screen that said something about updating the OS and something. So I checked the screen and for some reason I ended up clicking yes to install a different OS (it wasn't my intention to do this btw. it was a mistake). Anyway... I was not at home and the phone just said: "downloading... do not turn off target" but the phone took a long time to do anything so I ended up turning it off.
When I tried to boot back to recovery mode (and realized that the button combination was different from what my friend pressed) i got the android with the red exclamation mark and then it boots back to the problem with the memory partition error. And I just don't seem to be able to boot into recovery to reset the phone and make it usable again.
What can I do with this to hard reset the phone and recover it??
Thanks!!
UPDATE: I am trying to follow this guide to flash a stock firmware:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/10/06/how-restore-stock-firmware-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s5mini/
My device is SM-G800H from Mexico. It's a DUAL SIM device and it came unlocked for all carriers. So I picked this firmware (south america open line. Region: NBS) from this website:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G800H
But when I tried to flash I got an error that I have attached in a pitcure.

I bet there is something I am doing wrong here but I don't understand what. I have already tried to change USB ports and I am already using the original USB cable that came with the phone. (remember my phone is new. I've had it for one week so far, so I know the cable is good and the phone is too). Is it maybe the wrong firmware I am getting?? Which one should I get?
Thanks!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

From my little experience, this is not the right firmware for your unlocked international device, the NBS region as stated here is for Nicaragua (movistar) carrier, you stated that it's for South America (Open Line), either way this one is for carrier specific, branded version not for the unlocked international version like yours, I'm not sure which firmware you should use but you can ask Admins here.
I own the same device as you, may be you can use one of this roms:
G800HXXU1ANH4
G800HXXU1ANGG
G800HXXU1ANGC
Good luck
I had similar issue
I am from Algeria but I bought the s5-mini (G800H/DS) from England
The cause of the problem : my phone went off while doing a factory reset because of the battery !
The problem : when I put the battery in the phone , the least boots directly into Odin mode & stucks in Downloader Mode (could not do normal boot)
-I couldn't turn off the phone .
-When I pull the battery and put it back the phone starts immediately without pressing any button .
-The combination of long press (Volume up+ Home Button + Power) restarts the phone to the same mode Downloader Mode (could not do normal boot)
-This method didn't work also :
1. Turn off your phone
2. Remove battery and SIM card (if you have SIM card in your phone)
3. Wait 5 minutes
4. Replace SIM card and battery but not SD card
5. Press and hold Power button for 20 seconds.

-I couldn't know the build of my s5-mini or what firmware to pick .
-the pc did not recognize the phone (tried different computers & drivers & odins & usb...etc ).
What worked for me : Long press on (Volume up+ Home Button + Power) , when the phone vibrates before the samsung logo appears release all buttons and immediately press only Volume Down , the phone will boot in Odin Mode with details different from the previous one and without the error(could not do normal boot) , and the pc finally could recognize it .
I could see under Odin Mode build number which was G800HXXU1ANH4 , I kept looking for the firmware ,but couldn't find it .
I found only G800HXXU1ANGD and dicided to try it because i was so tired , and it worked till now
sorry if u cannot understand me , because i'm not that good in English
I hope this will help .
