[Q] How to unbrick my I9000

Hi,
Unfortunatelly I started playing with my I9000 without reading enough and bricked my phone completely (?). If anyone can help please do so.
Description:
1. I tried to flash with Odin new firmware but after flasing and rebooting got message "unable to update media ...." (or something like that) When powering on I got only welcoem screen with phone name
2. I wanted to repeat flashing but Odin could not start reflashing (I still could go into Download mode)
3. I found at xda forum [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader,
but I didn't notice that it was for Captivate (I thought it is just another name for I9000,now I don't know why)
4. I reflashed my i9000 and after reflashing got only At&t screen turning on and off, without possibility to enter into download mode.
Actually I'm stuck with this situation I feel really stupid, but by mistake I did what I did.
Is there any chance to help ?
Thanx in advance.

according to some users, you might get lucky, and might be able to recover
let your phone stay on on that loop, wait until it turns itself off
then try the 3 button combo again
if all else fail, contact samsung tech support, which will simply send you back to your cell phone place

I'll try but I'm not very optimistic

Waiting doesn't help - I tiried all possible 3 or 2 button configurations unsuccesfully.
Anyone has any other idea if antyhing can be done with the issue ?

The exact same thing happened to me. There is nothing you can do except to bring it back to Samsung. I brought mine back and they have to replace the whole motherboard

what did you tell them? is it going to cost you?

I told them my phone cannot boot. Can they help to reflash the FW and see if it helps. They did and said phone still cannot boot after reflashing. Hence they have to change the motherboard. I asked and they say it's under warranty...

The shop where I had bought my I9000 sent it to Samsung - I will see what they do with it.

I have flashed a vibrant with a i9000S software but the radio did not work quite well. Since the two have different keys, now i cant get it to boot mode. i was able to get into recovery mode via ADB but all i can do is use vol to go up or down and not select an option. the device wont even get out of recovery mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Same
I did the exact same thing and couldnt get it to go past the AT&T logo i took mine to the samsung authorised repair centre and after 3 days and 49 dollars they fixed it. I dont know how they did it because i couldnt get USB to reconginise or download mode or anything just stuck on white screen but they managed to get it up and running.
So even though it cost 49 dollars to fix it via software method it is better then spending 800 on a new phone or 300 for a new chip which they originaly qouted me. So there is hope with proffessional services

now, the magic usb plug is avaliable in ebay, it can turn your bricked phone into download mode in a few seconds. really good!!!

Hehe... ...the magic is one usb connector an 301 kohm resistor

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy S

I already read all kinds of guides to unbrick the Galaxy S but none of them worked.
First, the patient:
Samsung Galaxy S International Version, factory free. Froyo 2.2.1 (I don't know if it is related with this problem, but 2 or 3 weeks ago I updated from Froyo 2.2 to 2.2.1)
Now the symptoms:
Two days ago, several settings changed to default, and even though it looked weird I didn't worry.
Yesterday, when I went into the Android Market web, a message appeared, saying that I didn't have any phone registered in my account. I thought it was a phone problem (and boy, it was!) so I restarted it. It didn't. It shows the Samsung logo with the model, then the Galaxy S animation and that's it! a minute later the screen goes black and vibrates randomly, every 2 minutes or so.
The 'treatment':
I already had a problem like this in the past, but then it was really my fault. After desperately looking for the solution, I managed to do a hard reset by using the 'adb reboot recovery' command, because the 3 button combo didn't work. This time I used the combo, just in case, and it worked! but before showing me the recovery options some weird message about installing some csc stuff appeared. When the recovery menu appeared, I thought that the phone was OK, so I rebooted it without doing anything else (I should have done the factory reset, right!? but I didn't want to lose anything :S). Big mistake: the problem continues, and now the 3 button combo doesn't work!
The 'adb reboot recovery' command doesn't work either. When I use it, this message appears:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
I have already done *almost* everything I found in the forums. The only thing I haven't tried is the USB jig method.
I should mention that I've never used Odin, or downloaded a custom ROM or anything like that. When I had Froyo 2.2 I rooted the phone but with the update it was gone. And that's it! no lagfixes, no custom ROMs, no nothing!
Can somebody help me?
PD: Sorry for my English, I am Peruvian .

I suggest that you flash back to stock Froyo 2.2 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .

How can I do it if my computer can't find my phone? Can Odin find it?

Had a similar problem with mine, went from 2.1 to 2.2 on a factory unlocked phone and wound up in the same position you are in, first the pics in gallery started doubling up, then problem with market. 3 button combo no longer worked. Was pretty new to xda and sgs so didn't try adb. What I did do was bring it to my local vodafone shop, and even though it wasn't bought from them, they sent it off. Got it back within 4 days, free of charge, and the maintenance report stated that they had replaced a faulty display module, and upgraded it to 2.2.1, which wasn't available here at the time. (Doesn't make sense to me, but it must have been a hardware fail of some sort) but it got fixed, fast and for free.

Yes it works, I used it. Now I have stashed my home made electric component at a very safe place as I know while working with hacks I am going to need it again.
You literally don't need much electronic skills. What you need is a Micro USB cable (buy the cheapest one that u can find if u have to buy).
Buy a 301K resistor (if not available then get as many to bring total to 301k, I bought 3 300K and 1 1K to make a total to 301K).
There are tutorials with pictures on this site, search and u will find them.
One last thing don't worry at all up to this moment your phone is fine. Once you have your JIG ready, post a message or I am sure some one will guide you through or PM me I most certainly will as I know exactly how frustrated you might be right now.
Cheers

Try to go to download mode (volume down+home+power) if you can do that, send me a private message and i will explain you about odin.
Something more: what is USB jig?

A friend of mine bought this phone for me in Spain and sent it to me, and here in Peru only Movistar has this kind of phones. I'll take it to them, but something tells me that their won't be as good as Vodafone's.

Thankfully, the only thing I am sure is that my phone is fine... It's very hard for a Galaxy S to completely go FUBAR (unbrickable, I heard). But I'm really frustrated, not only with this problem, but with the RFS lag. I watch some friends' android phones (LG Optimus One, for example) go really smoothly while mine sometimes goes choppy, and it makes me envious Actually, the first time I f*cked with my phone was when I tried to use OCLF. The only thing left was to resign myself.
I expect to make my jig tomorrow, even though I have a very unsteady hand

I tried to get the phone in download mode and recovery mode with the 3 button combo, and nothing happened. As I wrote before, I could get the phone in recovery mode once, but now I can't. I should have done the hard reset then, damn it!
And about Odin, I heard that I can brick my phone with it if I do something wrong, so I never used it (I don't want an expensive paperweight ).
About your question, a USB jig is a 'device' (so to speak) that one can manually make with a mini USB connector and a 301k resistor, as you can see in a previous comment. It's supposed to make the SGS go into download mode when you connect it to the phone.
Acerca de escribir las cosas en ingles, pues creo que asi nos entiende mas gente, jejeje.
PD: Is it true that flashing a ROM, even a stock one (stock froyo, for example), voids the warranty?

Let's say I use the jig. What should I do after that? right now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, it says there's no phone connected :S. When I get it in download mode, will my PC be able to recognize it?

Yes it should as I had the similar issue, Get the JIG working (when JIG works, ur phone will be in download mode) then using odin load the stock rom on your phone, first time after the load of ROM it will take several minutes to reboot so dont panic.
If you dont want to loose much of your data then make sure you DON'T click on repartition check box.
Send me a pm once u have jig working

Tonight I'm going to try the jig. Now, I remember the USB debugging isn't enabled. It isn't a problem, is it?

nope. Do follow the instructions (you should be able to find that on xda dev site) on how to use JIG to get into download mode though.

OK I managed to get it into download mode. Now what?

flash a 3 file firmware, with 512 pit and re-partition
then flash this on top http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
then move onto what ever rom you want

I think your best bet would be trying to flash using EZBase to 2.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792&highlight=ezbase
Very user friendly instructions, meant for recovery purposes. After we get the phone booting and working again we can worry about trying a new ROM or Gingerbread.

I will continue the story where I left it.
I took the phone to customer service, and they managed to install an incorrect ROM, (my phone is I9000, they put a ROM for the I9000B) and they send it back to me, saying that my phone couldn't boot, so it should be a BIOS error. At least it goes into download mode. I want to flash stock Froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1. I have no idea how to do it, so please be very simple in your responses :$
PD: Once I get my phone working I'd like to try some other ROMs, I am really tired of the lag.

What are the advantages of repartition?

re partitioning, repartitions the file system, along with flashing a new ROM with all 3 files, this restores the phone to a 'new like' state, as if it was out the box.
its also the best way to unbrick devices too !! i re-partition mine every couple of weeks. but i am a constant flasher

[Q] Help please. No reaction after odinflash.

Hey guys
I'm really ****ed. I just tried to flash the JVO stock firmware via odin. Before I was running on Darkys 10.1 Resurrection rom.
Odin just worked normally, I booted into DL-mode, checked Repartition and inserted all the JVO files from Samfirmware using .512pit. Odin finished and gave me the "Pass!" message, then i waited for my phone to reboot but nothing happened. No vibration, no lights, no anything. I can neither get into recovery nor download mode anymore. I tried different things, taking out the battery, connecting USB in several combinations, but still nothing happens...
Can anybody help me or is there just no hope left?
Thanks

Try to take the battery out for 10 mins and try download mode again,

Thanks I will try that. Did it work before?

it has for some people but it all depends on the seriousness of the flash,
some people have corrupted the bootloaders leaving the phone completely dead
some have managed to get their SGS to rise from the dead... i dont know what category yours comes under

seems as if it didnt work... should i try contacting the samsung support?

does the phone show any sign of life ??
does anything light up ? does the charging screen come on when charger is connected ?
if nothing happens then samsung will be your last resort.
BUT act dumb, act like you dont know **** about phones, and try your best to blame it on kies, do not mention the words froyo or gingerbread or odin. you might be ok

no it does not show any sign, just nothing... just a black brick anymore
i'm gonna try to contact samsung, thank you for your help!

You had deadlys rom = broken phone .
Use download recovery jig flash stock rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje

i would love to but i cant get into download mode anymore...
the jigs i already had a look for are said only to work with devices that still show a sign of life, mine does not do anything...
if still persist, could you please send me a link to that jig?

Go to galaxy s general/stickies, its the 2nd post I think....good luck

nope, send it off to samsung, or take it to your nearest service centre, you should have it fixed and returned in 14 days or less.
until then, bring out the old nokia everyone has one, at least you wont need to charge it everyday

Thank you guys alot, got it back working after 8 days!

got it working ? or got it fixed by samsung ?

fixed by samsung! twice by now ^^

How come the screen is just white when i turn on captivate

I superonelick rooted. Then i downloaded ROM Manager and flashed CWM. Then i returned to stock using ODIN 1 click. It failed.
Now when i turn phone on it just shows a white screen and nothing else happens... i can't find problem anywhere else on google. I've rooted many captivates but never had this problem! UH-OH... Help please

the same thing happens whenever i try to boot into recovery and into download mode...

You are gonna need a JIG. Check mobiletechvideos.com to get one or u could make one urself.--see this for homemade jig... [HOWTO] *Layman's iGo Jig* [Solderless]
Which One Click Odin did u use ??

i used I897UCKH3_withBL
i used it the night before and did the exact same procedure with no fault... i didn't do anything differently...

If u can't get into download mode by pulling battery/ replacing battery and connecting the micro usb to the phone, having already connected the usb end to the computer... then u r gonna need a jig.
And a friendly fyi, once u flash Gingerbread firmware that contains the Bootloaders, there is no need to flash a firmware that contains GB Bootloaders again if u are flashing another or the same Gingerbread firmware... or even going back to Froyo or Eclair for that matter, because the GB Bootloaders are backwards compatible.

i pull the battery. press both volume buttons, plug in usb chord to phone (already plugged into computer) then put in battery. The phone screen turns on (all white, blank screen)
I've seriously done this with 5 captivates... i've never had ANY issue... and now this happens. I'm so confused.

Do u remember or can u still see on the Odin where it failed ?
Either way though, u r gonna need a jig.
But on the plus side, it is not hard bricked.

Yeah i just did it out of order... ugh...
well this sucks, cuz it's someone elses phone and it's 9pm on a sunday night... I don't know what to tell him, lol.

Once u get or make a jig, then just flash the KH3 that contains NO Bootloaders 1st, that is, if that is still the base u want to take the phone to. This should get the phone working, if the Odin failed after it had already installed the GB Bootloaders.

good grief... i still can't believe this has happened... I guess i'll just give him my phone to use... i'm never helping anyone else again with their phone. I don't want to be responsible for this crap.
Can i just take his phone to AT&T store and get a new one (it is only 2 months old)

i mean are there any other ways to try and get the phone to do SOMETHING? I mean it turns on....

Jig is ur answer.

If it turns on still its fixable if you tried download mode and the screen is all white does odin still see the phone??
Sent from my I897 using XDA App

odin does not see the phone.

As others have mentioned jig is your only option at this point, but easily fixed none the less
Sent from my I897 using XDA App

okay well i just bought one. I'm really short on time to make one this week. So it'll be here tomorrow or wednesday.
what are the actual instructions once the jig comes in? I just plug it in and it goes into download mode? Then hook it up to computer and ODIN. (which odin do you recommend for cognition, or do you recommend another OS? )

Search, man, search.there are dozens of threads that answer this, and all the questions you've had.

You may also want to try one of the heimdall one-clicks, especially if ODIN isn't working for you.

i appreciate that. I just wanted the opinions of forum members that i respect. (i know there are a lot out there who are worthy of it as well.) So i figured while i had one's attention, i would ask

There is nothing wrong with asking questions, but you can learn more by searching for one answer than asking 10 questions.

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.

You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.

There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.

Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??

Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Hmmm,i'll try cleaning it.I had the same situation, so the jig should work fine despite this problem ?

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?
