A few months ago, I had a few issues with my I9000.
I had Darky's Rom 10.1 at the time, and decided to go back to a generic rom.
Went to Samfirmware and downloaded I9003XXKP9.
It seemed to flash correctly, but on completion, Odin showed "reset", but no "pass".
The phone wouldn't power on at all, no download mode, no recovery.
My PC won't recognise it at all.
It was only later that I realised I'd installed a I9003 rom onto my I9000.
I've tried every button combination, with and with out a PC cable and battery, no reaction. Also tried a JIG I got off eBay. Works on my Galaxy S2 and my brother's Galaxy S, but not this this phone. It will charge if I connect it to a wall charger however.
I brought it to a local phone shop who used a JTAG, but apparently although they were able to get it into download mode, once they reflashed, it still wouldn't power on, no matter which rom they used. They worked on it for about a week.
I'm just trying to figure out if this phone is recoverable. It was only about 2 months old when this happened, and it looks almost new.
Many thanks for any information anyone can give!
Anyone have any ideas?
So in my point of view.
When they used to try the JTAG and the phone would not start up the motherboard / bootloader is corrupt.
No way to change that back.
May you send the phone to samsung and they are able to restore that device.
No other solutions in my point of view.....

Do what the guy says. the method is BULLETPROOF
it must go on ^^
Buy an usb jig on e-bay or make your own. This is just a 301ohms ressistor on pin 4 and 5. It should give ypu recovery mode.

Ok I did something stupid with my Galaxy S. I didn't pay attention to the firmware I was downloading i did a search for orange branded i9000 Firmware, and was downloaded from a site. Legit firmware and all. So I went to flash with odin like I have done lots of times. Came up fail, so I figured something happened during transfer, so restarted it back into download mode and reflashed again. FAIL again. Restarted and it would not turn back on. The unfortunate to all this is, the firmware after looking in horror at my galaxy s and looking back at the screen said I9100 above and I did not see that at all.
Sooo even with a USB jig this will not show a download menu, no recovery mode, no screen when plugged into charger. Anyone have any tips before I attempt the unbrickable mod?
post you question on darky rom forum they might b able to help
If even the Jig does not work i would try the unbricablemod. I dont't know an other solution to revive your phone than the UnbrickableMod if your phone doesn't boot into the Downloadmode with a Jig. So you have nothing to loose just try this Mod.(it could be your last hope to rescue the phone without sending the phone to Samsung) I didn't try it yet because i ever could revive my phone with the Jig but I've read some reports in a german forum and the users there are reporting that the Mod does rescue the phone even if the Jig doesn't boot your phone in Downloadmode.
You can find the unbricablemod i'm talking about here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 It's called "one click-unbrick". Just follow the given instructions and your phone schould work as before
Is your phone really bricked?
Is your phone bricked, or is it stuck at boot???
Normally, if a phone gets bricked, you see the screen of death: a phone logo and a computer logo, with an exclamation mark in between the two...
By the description, it looks like your phone is not able to boot, and is stuck at the screen, where it says: i9000
try putting it in downloading mode, and use odin to go back to stock firmware....
If you can't even turn on your phone, maybe your battery is flat after all that flashing

^^^ That may be the case, try to get another battery or chargning this batter outside the phone (wire to to a 5v source).
Sidenote: I think that download mode draws power from the usb (the phone will stay on even if the battery is removed [at-least mine does])
If the jig does not work then you probably flashed the bootloader or something...which is bad, in that case, unbrickable mod may be your only hope.
I revived it with just the software version of the unbrickable tool. Only have like 2 seconds to do it in linux when you connect the phone, but it put it into a white screen and I flashed with heimdall and I am back up and running. Thank you all!
so you flashed a stable ?
Yep I posted stable. It's weird because if your device shows up in windows some weird device you only have have a couple seconds in linux to make it flip into download, but its doable and I didn't have to hardware mod anything. Back to a perfectly working Galaxy S
Good for you !
You did it well, nice one! ;-)
I was to about to ask you to check your battery but glad you fixed it
So I accidentally flashed an AT&T firmware (Captivate) on a Korean-Type Samsung Galaxy S. To be more specific and detailed, I've written everything below.
Firmware Flashed: 2.3.5 SGH-I897_I897UCKJ1_UC_ATT
Phone I Flashed: SHW-M110S)
My Problem: I ca'nt get into download mode to flash the correct firmware to get it to boot correctly. It turns on, and I can get into recovery mode, but not download mode. The phone turns on, and goes through all the startup screens, but gets stuck on the colorful "S" screen, then reboots again. The second time it boots, it goes past the "S" screen then the screen just turns black. I have no idea what to do.
Any help? Advice? Or suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance
Do you have CWM recovery? If so you can copy a rom in the sd with your computer, plug it in the phone, mount the external_sd and load it from there.
Else, you can get Download mode with an usb cable, search in youtube, there are some interesting videos.
May be you need Usb Jig to go into download mode Instructions below
Needed materials:
1)SgS I9000 (obviously)
2)Microusb Pin with 100*3ohm+1ohm Connected in series to pin 4 and 5Diy tutorial here(otherwise buy it in ebay)
remove your battery fro about 2 min then plug in the usb jig it powers on automatically otherwise just do the normal vol down+enter+power
viola we got download mode
after that download your rom thru odin using a pc
Sorry for my bad English,If i spelled something wrong or a grammatical mistake please correct me

Use jig method it will work
be sure to take of the battery for 1 min (check the battery voltage using a multimeter it should be around 3.7 above voltsotherwise charge it in ur phone it does charge)and reinsert it and then plug the usb jig NOT THE USB Cable and it powers on automatically otherwise boot it up using vol down+enter+power while the usb jig is connected
Thanks for the help everyone. I've decided to just buy a usb jig after all... Since most of the replies say to do so. I'll order one on ebay, but my last question is does it matter which one I get? I see a lot of Samsung galaxy s2 and galaxy s usb jigs. Mine is the Korean type i9000 and I also have an s2. Is the i9000 usb jig compatible with my Korean one? And there's this usb jig that says its for a galaxy s i9000 AND a galaxy s2 i9100, can I just buy that one for both of my phones?

i guess your gonna download a firmware on 2.2.1 and flash it..........but i recommend 2.3.3 firmware..try it on mine the ......!....... but still odin detects it......2.2.1 is old try AOKP for are tab....best rom
First, which tab is yours.
Edit: from your pm you indicate P1000.
OK, I sounds luke a broken record now but here goes.
Have you had a look at overcome method.
You need to flash GB-stock-safe-v5.
Sometimes even when screen is blank, it can still be a download mode.
So, be sure that it is charged (using original wall charger).
Then ready Odin and the files in proper places and pre connect the tab to PC.
Then boot to download mode and quickly flash using Odin.

What about a Tab P1000N? What can be done with that one?
One Click Unbrick (by Adam Outler) is not a P1000 specific software.
It should work for P1000N too.

Dear fellows,
I need your help. My colleague has some how bricked his Galaxy I9000 device. As per discussion he said he tried to upgrade the rom and accidently the rom he selected for flash via odine was for I9003 which is a variant of Galaxy S line of product.
Now what happened is the phone is completely dead no download mode nothing its all dead. I prepared a USB Jig and plugged in and followed our expert's guidelines but still no success. The device is still dead. One hunch of mine was drained battery and I put it on charging and observed the back (camera side) was slightly heating up when i checked after couple of hour of charging but the situation remained the same.
Any suggestion to recover this device and what has happened to the device? Is the samsung phone are so fragile? Im personally using Xperia X10i and never faced such problem even bricked its all recoverable via software workarounds.
Please suggest
Thanks Faisal
well i dont know if this will help but ill give it a try. when you plug the phone into the computer does the computer recognize the device? if it does see if it recognizes in odin. if thats all good in odin (gives you a port number) then to flash these files http://www.mediafire.com/?34oxweahfpy53dj
just un rar and follow readme. this may not work for you but a while back i hd a simular problem and this is how i fixed it so try it see if it works. If it does hit thanks.
ps this has also worked on different devices with simular problems but i did it with different files(the ones meant for the proper device form samfirmware.com)
Good Luck!
try option bootloader flash in odin, if you flash a firmware package.
should be recoverable for sure
last resort would be Unbrickable mod
the files i posted will flash bootloaders at the sme time. At least thats what i think the sbl file that it flashes is

well if you read what i posted i clearly said that i had simular problems, meaning ive been to the point where i couldnt get into dl mode or recovery and that is how i fixed it. heres a example; start to flash via odin and unplug while its flashing. Then try to go into dl mode or recovery. You cant! it scared the crap out of me, so i didnt give up and all i had to do is plug it into the computer and i recognized it in odin. so i flashed and there i had it it was fixed
Thanks for responses
Hi Guys,
thanks for responses but when the device is plugged with PC no activity at all. Fully dead
My colleague acquired repair services and recovered the phone because I dont have JTAG/RIFF with me.
Unbrickable mod was hard to try specially modification by shorting resistors from device motherboard.
Thanks

I didnt understand your messege. Whats a JTAG/RIFF. Should I try the USB Jig on mine?
I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG?
A couple of days I bought an i9000 off ebay, it came running eclare 2.1
I followed a guide to rooting it by installing a tar via heimdall, however this soft bricked it and when I turned it on it would just get stuck on the samsung logo. My phone seemed to suffer from the 3 button bug and therefore I had to get a jig for it which I received this morning.
I then tried to fix it by using this guide: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ot-cwm-and-cyanogen-install-help/#entry356900
Bassically I used odin to install the EU samsung firmware, odin said everything went fine and it all passed, however I can no longer turn my phone on.
Screen stays blank, I tried putting batery in, jig in and connecting it to my pc to see if it was just the screen that wasnt responding but still nothing in odin.
Someone please tell me I havent bricked my phone 2 days after getting it.
First of all, can you ask enter download mode?
Secondly, are you are that it is a I9000 and not one of the variants?

Yea, nothing happens when I press the power button/use the jig.
And this is 100% a software/firmware issue as it happened after flashing.
I have a feeling I disconnected it too soon, basically odin said it had passed and so i unplugged it but it just stayed on the download screen so I thought it might have gotten stuck and took the battery out. However i might have took the battery out while it was updating something, I dont know.
