My nephew installed ROM manager and somehow messed up his galaxy mini. Now the phone doesn't turn on and is not recognized by ODIN. I made a USB Jig but it's not bringing up the download mode when plugged in. The USB jig is working because I tested it with my galaxy s2 while turned off and the phone booted into download mode. Any idea why the jig wouldn't work with the galaxy mini ?
Is there any other steps i should follow before connecting the usb jig?
Thanks in advance

usb jig not working for me either help
I suggest you claim your warranty mate. I've read many people messed with ROM Manager; and claiming warranty was the best solution

I can not do anything.... I visited all the forums, but there is a solution, but I do know if the usb jig would work .. Because all youtube video showing usb jig with the problem of the panel exclamation between the cell and the computer, but they do not show the same problem as me
Thing is IF a jig wont fix it you will have to send it to get fixed with a Jtag. Jig can be made with little cost (made mine for about $2.50) or buy em already made for $8-$11.
Keep in mind when I say the jig can fix i mean it can force your phone in to download mode.
-Pull battery
-Plug usb cable
-Put battery & hold Vol+/Vol-
If you can't go in download via this method you need a usb jig to force it.
Then reflash with Odin until successfull. You just had a bad flash and a bad fs will not let you boot the phone normally and use the button combo to go into download so you need to bypass with the usb cable method or the jig.

So let me get this right. You just bought the phone, then watched a video without reading anything and now your stuck. Please do your part is saving hard bricked devices. DO THE RESEARCH.
Yea flashing roms is a big deal you should be sure you read everything before tring then read it a 2nd and 3rd time. And not just info in the op all the info on your device.
Good luck

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

Your English is quite good, your French however not so..
"viola" should be "voilà"
UPDATE: Now the phone won't turn on at all. Not even when its plugged in to the wall or the computer...

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?

Adam outler's unbrickable mod WILL fix your phone if jig fails.
I undesirably flashed recovery image on my Galaxy Mini with ROM Manager to probably unsupported CWM. No I can't boot my phone.
Odin and Kies can't detect my phone.
I can't access recovery or download mode.
Phone is rooted and installed Gingerbread 2.3 on it.
Is there way to unbrick it?
Yes, Samsung service center. Play dumb, and don't ever mention root, flashing or ROM manager

just that your updating and your phone died
Donate 2$ for galaxy fit so they can get their JB and ics

^ This is not the right way to ask for galaxy fit donations. Especially at this thread. You have no idea how mind gets ****ed when your phone gets hard bricked.
Take it to a repair shop and ask them to do a usb jig, to get your phone into download mode.

If your phone shows a PC and a phone close it and then press volume up and power key. It will show you FOTA updating.It will restart and then it will work again...
If I helped you please press the THANKS button.

I don't think you can "unbrick" your device, its gone.

The only thing that could save you is a JTAG service.
