BRICKED 1st post edited.

EDIT:
odin crashed while going back to stock then
my phone will get to download mode buuuuut.. my computer doesnt recognize my phone...
i re-downloaded drivers and the phone is recognized however odin failed the 2 times i got it in dl mode(took about an hour to get it each time)... so i have a jig ordered but with odin not working im not feeling optimistic

nothing seems to happen when its plugged into the wall no battery icon. i reinstalled drivers hoping that would help with no luck.. i just got it back in dl mode after like an hour of it not turning on for me but it doesnt do anything once i get it there.

Get odin3 one click and use it in dl mode. It will brg ur phone back to stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

definately problem of bad USB..either cable or port....try using different USB cable or different computer....Use full odin by iCezar...its with minimum risk....specially very beneficial in cases like yours....

my pc doesnt see my phone. thats the issue i cant use odin. and the only thing my phone will do is glow black or go to download mode, idk if its charging but its getting hard to get it in dl mode, multiple tries atm no luck
i have already tried reinstalling the drivers. what are they called so i can delete them and install again rather then just redownload maybe that will help?

did you always had this problem or just when in DL mode? if you always had this problem then ofcourse something wrong with USB port...but if its only for DL mode then u remove and redownload drivers....

nope this only happened AFTER my crash on odin. my pc has always seen the phone.

try connecting your phone to pc when odin is already running. See whether it detects. Mine worked this way.

thats not a big deal, just get it in download mode, and flash it with odin.
EDIT: might as well us this post to say what my computer says with usb since i got in in dl mode again...
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
then something about for assistance in solving this issue click here

this has happened to me acouple times, the first was my fault I pull the usb before odin finished. I could get back into Download mode but Odin would not see the phone and computer would not recognize the phone either, device not recognized.
I tried rebooting, re-installing drivers etc. did not work.
but after an hour or so I finally got it to recognize and odin'd back to stock and back to flashing I was.
this is what I did hope it works for you.
1. disconnect all usb devices
2. un-install captivate drivers
3. reboot computer
4. goto device manager and verify that there is no USB device errors, if there is delete them and reboot again verify again in device manager.
5. install captivate drivers
6. reboot computer
7. start ODIN (DG or iCezars, iCezars is safer)
8. plug USB cable into the computer first (the one that came with the phone not an after market one)
9. hold both up and down volume buttons on the phone
10. plug the usb cable into the phone quickly to get into download mode (if I plugged the phone is slowly ODIN did not recognize the phone no COM, once I did it quick and it picked it up)
11. push START as soon as ODIN shows the COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 etc (this had to be done quickly too, If i waited ODIN would show the COM but still would not start flashing back to stock)
this worked for me more than once I hope it helps you good luck

oh ok thanks, ill give that a try when i get off of work. i hope my battery doesnt die idk if its charging or not

well no luck even getting back to download mode. i bought a jig so i guess im waiting and trying while i wait.

i keep reading its possible to completely brick if odin fails... did i perma brick?

well a bump of sorts, the jig should come in the mail tomorrow. i miss my phone

jig came in the mail, im working on a few failed odin3 attempts but as i freaked out and started typing this post it seems like a great success. the jig works wonderful

I have not had to do this but I know some others had issues with Odin and had to right click on Odin and run as administrator for it to work. Also the Odin 1 click should work in almost any situation to get you back to stock. The only worry (again never had the problem) is that depending on the build version of the phone you could lose the three button recovery. Look for the Odin that DG posted.

[Q] Galaxy S doesn't boot

two weeks ago , I figured out that my galaxy s application (gallery , music player etc.) doesn't detect the media on the internal SD card. The internal SD card status was fine showing the available space and the overall space.
Today I switched off the phone and tried to open it but no joy. It shows the samsung logo and then keeps givining vibrating errors and doesn't boot.
I tried the hard reset by all its types but no joy , I always had a problem with that already.
I'm using the stock rom 2.2 Arabic version issued by samsung. And no I can't access the download mode
So basically I'm having three major problems:-
1-The phone applications doesn't detect the media.
2-The phone can't get into the download mode no matter what mix of buttons I use.
3-The phone is inaccessible as it opens but doesn't boot
Any suggestions??

so you have done a factory reset in recovery mode ??
have you plugged into KIES to see if there is an update ?
have you tried using ADB ? or making a JIG to get download mode ?
there is the old 'hairdryer' trick but i have never used it, so i dont wanna mention whether it works / is safe.

I wouldn't even risk it. What I do think that works sometimes, is letting it sit on the usb charge for a bit (45 minutes or so). It does get quit warm on the usb. And then try the download mode combo for up to a minute.

Which download COMBO exactly??

1-I can't get into the recovery mode to do the factory reset.
2-Plugging the phone into the pc is useless as it is not detected.
3-can't try the ADB coz I still need access through the USB and have no idea what the JIG is

a 'JIG' is a way of transforming your USB cable into a device that forces the phone into download mode, with the help of some resistors, if you dont feel competent enough to make this, you can buy them off ebay for around £10 mark - delivered. A valuable tool to save a £400 phone.
it also has a 100% success rate, (unless motherboard is fried)

Is my phone bricked?

After installing a totally crappy ROM with Rom manager my phone is now useless.
Its working but not properly , it turns off by itself randomly , gets stuck etc etc.
- I cant connect with usb my pc doesnt recognize it (installed drivers - Installed Kies)
Because of the usb issue i cant use odin
- I cant access the Recovery with pressing the buttons , when i try to go to the recovery the phone gets stuck on Galaxy S logo i have waited it was stuck for 3 hours then i rebooted.
I can go inside the phone (use the phone)
Ext4 Recovery control doesnt support my phone.
Im totally stuck
I want to go back to the original state but i cant do anything , when i choose to install the backup my phone reboots and tries to go into recovery thus it gets stuck into Galaxy logo.
I can access Download Mode but its useless because my PC doesnt recognize my phone.
Now what should i do? Throw this phone against the wall ? Put it in a Microwave?

heeeelp...................................

So you can't get in to recovery mode and you can't use download mode as your PC doesn't recognise your phone? I would try the following:
- Try different USB ports
- Try different USB cable
- Try a different PC
But you could have read all this just by searching, there about a million and one threads on this exact subject that people have encountered over the past year and a half.
Good luck.

Or if you wanna get technical and try something, have a go at this

Does your phone boot up properly? I mean does it go in to android and things work?
Do you have a custom rom on there? Do you have insurance for your phone? Is it still under warranty?

No warranty , bought the phone with this issue about the USB connection problem , the seller told me it was some kind of driver issue.
I can boot into android but it doesn't work properly , for example when i get a call the phone reboots , when i turn on the wifi it reboots etc and it gets stuck most of the time.
Thats why i want to go back to the original rom because this rom sucks ****

I think your only option maybe to get in touch with samsung or an independent repair shop and try to get the usb port or mobo replaced. If you're in Norway you could try moobi.com or a local shop if you're close to a big city like Oslo.
I've got 2 phones being repaired by Moobi at this moment but they seem kinda slow. They've had my Moto Defy for almost a month and they're still waiting for parts lol. And just sent off a Ideos X5 to have the mobo changed due to the IMEI showing up as 0.

Have you tried uninstalling samsung drivers from your PC and then install samsung kies and let kies install all the drivers and see if it recognises your device then?

I've tried android adk too nothing works :/ it just wont boot my phone.
Now my phone is stuck it wont boot but i can go to download mode
I installed the ****tiest rom ever Mitra Rom

Bet this can't be fixed

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.

Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?

Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.

I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .

If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.

phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.

This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!

GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!

Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.

Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.

It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.

I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well

You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.

Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.

Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.

Well had a text back today to say my phone has been despatched, so here is hoping that its fixed.

It came back from the repair centre yesterday with a note saying a part had been replaced,
no costs for me, yippeeeeeeee.

[Q] Boot loop without recovery and download mode

Hello everybody!
I've tried to find a solution, but without success.
Today I tried to install CWM on a french Galaxy S.
I've rooted the phone with z4root and after I started on download mod with adb.
Then with Odin3 I installed this file "Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.tar".
After that the phone rebooted automatically, unfortunately it's rebooting eachtime on the galaxy s logo.
The problem are that I can't boot on download mod or on CWM.
When the phone is off and I plug it on charger, it doesn't charge!
I think my phone is bricked.
Do you think you can help me or it's dead?
Is there a hard reboot procedure or something like that?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem!

Are you sure you can't enter recovery? Volume up+home+power.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

Yes i'm 1000% sure!
I can acess the Download Mode, but Odin/Heimdall does not recognize the USB connection...

Keep Trying
I know this is weird but keep hard resetting it. Try like 20 more times before you give up. Worked for me in the past I know it is weird. I had just flashed a new factory ROM.

I swear i have tried to enter the Recovery 20-30 times!!

It's fine
Hello,
I've bought an USB JIG for my SGS GT i9100 and I've been able to install ICS SLIM using Odin v3 1.7.
Very easy...
I advise this solution..
Thanks for your help.

did u try vol down + home + power button to go to download mode? if it can do that, the problem is just find some driver to make odin recognize your phone. search for "usb driver for samsung galaxy s" in google
then you can bring back your phone to live by downloading any rom you want and flash it via odin
ps. but if you cannot go to download mode, JIG USB with 301 K ohm will help you look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

Same problem here, I actually didn't see this in my search and made a new thread about it (feel free to delete). My computer had KIES on it so it had the drivers already and it's the same computer I went through the download mode before with so I have the drivers. I tried to reinstall them but still nothing.
I fear I may need to buy out my contract :crying:

I am sure that I am right with this. "If you root, do not use KIES" so you have to uninstall KIES and download separate USB driver.
Then it should see your phone when connect with ODIN
Hope you got your phone back alive soon

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I reinstalled the drivers I had actually uninstalled KIES and installed just the drivers.
I do have an update though but still can't get it to boot completely. Late last night I decided to try to get download mode to work one last time before passing out and pressing Vol-, Home and Power actually brought me to the recovery screen for the first time in my phone's life! "F YA!" was the only thing I could think at the time so I first went through and formatted/wiped every option I could find then installed the CM9 that I knew worked and now I get to the alien with the matrix-esque background and it stops there. I plugged it in and left it on that screen all night and that guy was still staring at me this morning. I tried download mode again but my computer still doesn't recognize it.
