Basically, I tried to use a custom rom(darky's) and it kept giving me the main boot up logo (not the animated one) and it just kept looping. So thinking that all i had to do was justfix the bootloader, i loaded the stock .pit up on odin 1.3 and now my phone won't turn on nor connect to my computer. I expect the worst though I may want some glitter to this...
And yes, I used the search.
oh and would this jig work?

Hey, Im no expert at this, but from what you posted, you have only used a pit file with Odin, if thats the case and you did not use any other file aswell ie "PDA". I did that once and semi bricked. The jig is worth a shot i guess, i have one now, keep it handy lol. Have a look on youtube vids of bricked sgs i9000, theres different kinds of bricking. Search "how to fix bricked i9000" or something like that, and have a look and see if the jig fixes a blank screen, my guess is it will, but as I stated "Im no expert". Hope I helped in some way.
Friend,try the jig and if all fails, give this a thought

And also see what pete has to say. he is correct
Alright, Bought the jig. Waiting for it. Thanks alot guys, gave me the glitter I was looking for ^_^
No probs, good luck man

Hi there!
I got me my third Galaxy and this time the three buttons combo doesn't work, so no download or recovery mode from me.
I plan always to stick to Kies updates from now on, but if I ever need to install a cooked ROM for some reason, or even do some special tweaking, I may need to have these modes enabled.
As much as I wanted to at first, I've refrained to apply the bootloader fixes since there's a small chance that they might not work and brick (again) the phone, and I can really cope with this problem all over again
So... what I did was to order one USB JIG from eBay 10 minutes ago. Now I'm wondering... which metod is "better"? The buttons combo or the JIG? If it's so easy to boot into download mode with the JIG (and I'd even think that more reliable since it's a hardware jumper rather than software), why would so many risk into flashing the bootloader when they could have got a nice, little USB cased JIG for 7 USD?
Also... when fully bricked (i.e., black screen) and the buttons combo doesn't work, would the hardware JIG work?
By the way, another reason to not flash the bootloader fix for me is that it would change my GT-I9000T startup screen for the international, GT-I9000 one , and I wanted it to be as stock as possible.
Thanks in advance guys; hope that you can shed some light into it.
EDIT: oh... is it true (confirmed) that phones with the combo disabled by Samsung boot a little faster than the others? I've read that since the combo is disabled, the bootloader doesn't wait for it, so it breezes through the startup process , but haven't seen this confirmed anywhere
Anyone??
mmm... I would like to know this as well.

Yeah, yours is the only post I've found about this in Google before starting my own.
I started this again because all the responses you got was "Good job!" from a guy
Hope we can more information this time...
So... ??? Please, somebody comment on this if possible; thanks guys
Hi!
Phones with the combo available are not any slower than their fellows without it. Mine came without the 3button-combo and flashed the fix to be able to get into recovery. I didn't see any difference.
But if you want to stay on the safe side.. the jig will do the job. Btw i just used the 301k ohm resistor with some clear tape and touched the right pins inside the microUSB socket. Tadaaa... cost me £0.48 How-to on youtube.
The jig doesn't work if your phone has a black screen. That means the bootloader is corrupted, no chance to flash it.
However if it's semi-bricked (you see a PC..!..Phone figure on the screen but no response nor boot) the jig (and only that!) can still help. Basically that's why i have it now
Thanks! I just received the JIGs I bought from eBay (after more than a month...!) and I'm happy with them.
I don't know why I'd risk flashing the 3 button fix when a simple jig is a "pure" and elegant solution, that doesn't mess around with my phone (and its boot screen! )
Thanks, and if you have any more thoughts on the matter, please let me know.
I have usb jig fantastic thing plug it in switch on phone download or plug in while on and hold power button till reset again download i will not three button again

I updated my bootloaders months ago so I could use the 3 buttons and haven't looked back since. I only had a vague idea of what I was doing (much lees that I do know) read all the guides and flashed and I'm glad I did it, now I can enter download and/or recovery on cue whenever I wish..
Dumbass me did exactly as the title says. Now the phone won't do jack, won't even go into download, don't see a bootscreen, just stays black and off. Tried all the button combos and ****. Am I ****ed? I'm still under warranty. What do I need to do? Do I need to get a JIG or will that not do?
Did u try pulling the the battery, opening the one click, plugging usb in then holding volume up and down only (no power button) then putting battery in. should go straight into download. If not that I would look into a jig. Captivates are pretty hard to permanently brick. The guys here on xda are pretty awesome. Helped me out of more than one hair losing situation

First please watch the swearing in The threads. Second if you can't get into dl mode by the method above then a jig may be your only hope. There are videos that will show you how to make one or how to order a pre made one. A search will get you where you need to be.

Yes, I'm not a noob, I said I tried all the button combos, how else do you think I even got OneClick to work on my phone in the first place... Doesn't go into download mode.
don't get smart with someone trying to help you...if you knew completely what you were doing you would have NEVER closed odin while it was flashing...just sayin.
my guess is you closed it while it was flashing bootloaders and its now bricked and nothing short of jtagging it or a warranty replacement will get you a working phone. next time wait until its done before you touch anything
JIG did the trick.
And don't be a smartass yourself, I screwed up, I said that, Mr. I'm-so-perfect-I-never-screw-up. I don't know what you do for a living, maybe you can go play Xbox with your friends from school while your phone is restoring, but I need to be able to use my computer for business at all times.

Dude, you need to relax. There are disclaimers all over the place. We do this because it is a pass-time for us as well as a hobby. By no means does anyone have to come in here and bow to your demands or be berated by you because you are frustrated at a problem with your phone. Use of the search function would have yielded the answers you so douchebaggedly demanded.
Using your computer for more than one task is possible. Run Odin all you want but this "windows" or other operating system you may run has this nifty ability to more than one thing at once.
... it's like watching a guy holding a hornet's nest and saying, "I don't care what you say, I'm punting this thing and that's that!".

Was your computer made in the 90's or something? It's easy do this stuff on the computer your work on in your spare time, just make sure you're a little more careful next time.
I'm glad the jig worked.
**Phone seems to have no power does nothing, pull battery same thing cant even get download flashing screen screen**
I bought my new Bell I9000M and loved it then started about rooting, purchased rom manager premium and download darky rom 9.5 thru it and installed it worked pretty good.
Now I upgraded to 10.2RE and ran it for about 2 weeks without problems then today I started playing with emulators. Played SNES all day then noticed N64 installed played zelda no problems then found a psx emulator.
This is when disaster struck. I went to play FFVII with the psx emulator and it would lock up then quit the program. So I thought if i just did a reboot it might work.
Apon rebooting I started getting Force Close on pretty much all apps.
I tried to just repeat the install procedure for 10.2RE with odin including to make sure the repartition option was checked and it would load up then say something about UID inconsistent so I retried about 3 times (seems like it wasn't actually repartitioning then installing the clean software).
Frustrated I rebooted my PC and redid the process clicking the repartition then like a F'n Tard only loaded the PIT and not the PDA!!!
So no power
recovery botton method not working
tried vol down+power, vol up+down+power, just power (all with battery pulls)
the thing doesnt blink, cherp, or squat
I think Im done but pleeeease someone have something for me to do I am not a noob in these kind of things but it just came down to not double checking before hitting start.
Do i have a $400 paper weight and need to save for a S2???

Sounds like you are gonna need to try and make a jig or grab one off ebay, if that fails then, you can always try a repair shop, if you are in the GTA I can recommend a place to you, they have a JTAG
Yeah I think its a JTAG repair at that point which involves a lot more hands on (search youtube - they have demos).

Well Im reading that I need to jtag.. Ive done this with satellite receivers before but my usb equipment is different then what all the youtube videos are showing.
From what I read I have a full/hard brick
I'm I wrong in that a jig will only fix a software brick (or does this classify as such) I can easily make the jig which i will attempt tomorrow but I just want to know if its worth my time as i read that a jig only works when u have a black screen with two little white boxes showing or something like that
Im in Edmonton, AB Canada can anyone help me out with a jtag? (If a jig is going to work then let me know to as Im waaay to tired right now!)
thanks for the help

Ahh right I just noticed the part where you said you have no power.... I dont think the jig will work for you in that case...
Just checked kijiji, you can call these guys and see if they have a JTAG

So after much searching I have not found anyone in Edmonton who provides jtag flashing in town. If I was in Toronto I would be set.
Anyways since no one provides this service in Edmonton I feel like I should purchase the equipment and start providing this services.
Does anyone know what software and jtag I need to get and I reputable site to order off of?

Not that I have a fix, but that use to be a semi normal step about 10 mos ago installing firmwares, to do the pit by itself, I hardly would think that step caused your problem... I could me misguided. This is the first post I have read with this issue though...
There is a user on the east coast that was about to get one before I convinced him to try warranty first as they were still all under a year old. Which you might try too...
Brisk something was his handle. Check back in my posts late July maybe...

I was running leaked version of UCKF1 2.3.3 then I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281221&page=1 so tried to flash it. I got an error of failing to upgrade and phone couldn't boot up. Then I tried heimdall one click unbricker and it worked. Then I decided to flash to stock and after odin said PASS the phone just died. It can't turn on.. no boot screen no nothing. I can't see anything moving or lighting on the phone. please help me recover the phone
It won't respond to any combos like "vol up + vol down + USB" or any others..
Search for Adam Outler's "Am I bricked?" Thread. Help you figure out where you are.
Did you you use 3 button fix jf6? If ya did you hard bricked.
Thanks for replies.
I'm hard bricked and as I get it the only solution is JTAG which is quite expensive and I'll have to send my phone to someone
Isn't there any other solutions? please help me..
Check out the UnBrickableMOD in the DEV section if sending the phone somewhere is not an option. High skill is still required but it's a good alternative if you know someone who is skilled with soldering.
I don't want to open my phone myself so I guess I'll have to send it to someone anyway.. If I use JTAG will my data be saved?
Don't pay for Jtag. Pay for Unbrickable mod. Easier to do AND you are for ever free of hard brcks.

The Linux/Ubuntu part isn't hard. Go to Ubuntu site, downloads, option 3 which is the wubi installer. If you get the windows no disc error, just keep clicking continue until the installer starts.
Thanks all.. I knew from the start of the thread that I had it hard bricked coz I have flashed all of the roms out there and soft bricked many times and fixed, so I have some experience in this.
The part I don't understand is that after I tried to flash to stock it died after that.. quite odd.. I think I'll go for unbrickable after all.. but in Georgia, where I live it's gonna be a pain to find someone able to do this neatly..
Thanks for all your support..
You can send it to adam (one of the people that worked on that) or Connexion (mobiletechvideos.com) Cost you some though.
It may just be a black screen brick, not a hard brick. Pull the battery, wait 2 minutes, replace battery. Use a jig, let it stay plugged in about 30 seconds. Hook up to Odin and see if it lights a com box. If it does, you can flash stock. If it doesn't, time to send it off. Last I heard, jtag was only about $50. Shipping I don't know about.
Of course I had tried pulling the battery and all the stuff that can be done to maintain the phone.. shipping is +20$ for international and add it the cost of shipping from here to USA.. helluva sum.. it goes like 100$.. so I left off my phone in the local "Samsung" service center. I doubt they can even handle it but at least I won't have to pay if they can't.. if they can though it'll cost around 40$ as they said. So wish me luck I guess..
UPDATE!
Hey all.. I just got my captivate from the samsung service center and it's working quite well thanks for your effort
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 .

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
