[Q] Hard Bricked? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hey guys.
My Samsung Galaxy Mini (S5570) seems to be Hard Bricked.
It doesn't boot, can't get into download mode, nothing.
The only thing is that Odin and my computer recognises it.
In odin it appears the yellow box with the PORT COM 3 something like that..
Is there a way I can fix it.
I have Gingerbread files to flash it...
Would the Jig USB get it into download mode?

*Bump*
Hello?

Try Oneclick Unbrick, you can search in xda.

Yea, I tried to take out the battery, hold the 3button combo, insert battery while ohlding the 3button combo, but still, no download mode.

you should use volume down+home button+power button
instead of volume up button+home button+piwer button

Help...Cant get phone into download mode.

I used odin 1 click to get phone back to stock . Now my phone will not go into dl mode with any of the button combos.Also i can not get into recovery.Other than those 2 things the phone boots up and works.Any help please..
Which Odin one click ? And what were you running before you did the one click?
Use a jig for dl mode.
You tried Vol Down-Power and then after the splash screen releasing the power button and continuing to hold Vol Down.
Does your phone fully boot? If it does and you have adb on your computer. Turn on USB debugging, connect the phone to your computer via USB, and then use the command 'adb reboot download' without the '
Hope that works for you.
I used odin 1 click flashed phone back to eclair 2.1 I897UCJF6..The phone will boot into eclair and function properly but i cant get to dl mode or recovery.thanks for the responses
Its risky but IF YOU ARE ON 2.1 YOU CAN FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX, or flash i897 gingerbread bootloaders, but DO NOT FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX AFTER FLASHING THE GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS OR YOU WILL BE HARD BRICKED YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

I would recommend i897 GB bootloaders instead of the 3 button fix. It still fixes the button problem, but never, never, never flash the 3 button fix after flashing GB bootloaders. You have been warned again.
ok finally got into dl mode but when i plugged phone up to usb it went to the phone ! computer screen what do I do.Thanks in advance..

Does Odin recognize the phone? If so, just flash from there.
odin will not recognize.Any sugestions? Thanks
will a jig get me to d/l mode from here?

It should. Also, hold volume up + down, then plug in USB should also. Before you try that, restart your computer and pull the battery on the phone for a couple minutes before trying again. Have Odin open before you plug in the phone. Make sure you are using a pry on the back of the computer ( #1 on a laptop).
Followed ur directions still no go.You have any other ideas without a jig?Thanks

I had this a cpl of times, u'll have to reinstall drivers (uninstall first) ,or I use kies mini to reinstall drivers all the time when the pc won't recognize it (this usually happens after switching bootloaders), reboot ur pc and after that ur pc should pick it up (found new hardware). Once the drivers are loaded head back to odin and this time ur com port should light up.
Try this method for download mode... It's worked on every build captivate I've tried, even the fabled 1008 build.
1. Turn off phone, pull battery, sim card, sd card
2. Open ODIN (optional)
3. Plug in USB, then hold both volume buttons (NOT power button)
4. Re-insert battery while still holding volume buttons.
Phone should instantly boot into download mode

[Q] Root method

Whats the best way to obtain root with out using ODIN??? Right now I cant get into ODIN because the power button is not functional. I tried to use the one click root but they didnt work. Kept getting stuck at step 7. I want root so I can use quick boot to reboot in to download mode. I tried to use the modifed 3e recovery but the batch kept giving me a fail. The thread said I didnt need to be rooted but when it looked for root it would just hang. So that didnt work either. Kind of stuck at this point of how to obtain root w/o odin. Its using offical ATT OTA 2.3.5 update. Never been rooted before. Thanks for the help.
To root gingerbread, you need to use the fugu kernel swap method. A simple search/looking through stickies will point you in the right direction. You will be using Odin, but you don't need to touch the power button. With the phone powered off,hold down both volume buttons and plug in a USB cable. You should be in download mode at that point
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
you dont need root to get into download mode... we dont use quick boot on captivate...
cant get into odin because no power button??? WTF... odin is on your computer. no power button required...
download mode.... no power button required...
so why do you THINK you need root?

Yes I read that the power button is not required but when I hold the volumes down it doesn't go into download mode. It goes in yo Android recovery (3e). Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've been getting the same responses.. One click root don't work. Also when I pull battery ( to turn off phone) and pit it back in and hold the volumes up and down that's when I get in to the 3e recovery. Odin doesn't detect so I can't flash using Odin in this recovery. Thanks for the help but this phone was hard to root or get in download mode with the power button not working..he got an upgrade maybe I'll tell him to just get the galaxy note

Ppl keep saying that but hasn't worked for me. That combo just gets me into Android recovery 3e..i have read somewhrre that you should still beale to flash but Odin doesn't recognize so that's not an option...thanks for help anyway
Btw: the phone doesn't stay powered off. As soon as I put the battery in it turns on. With the cord in the phone and pressing the volume combo during that boot up it takes me recovery 3e

How about using "adb reboot download"?

recovery cannot be used as download mode. the soft brick screen can... PHONE /!\ PC screen.
when you updated your phone to gingerbread did you flash the captivate bootloaders or the i9000 bootloaders????
i9000 bootloaders could be your problem. download mode button combo uses power and vol dn

Not sure if you've tried this, but take out the battery, hold volume buttons, insert usb, then insert battery.
It would seem that the problem is in the broken power button...it's pressed all the time, so when using the correct button combo for download mode, it doesn't work because of the power button always being pressed.
Op, rooting your phone won't fix your power Button.
You could install Android sdk, and use adb to boot into download fwiw....
You should check out mobiletechvideos.com they offer a power button replacement service.

Reboot Loop

Heys guys ive got a problem with my S5830i, i wanted to flash AceCream v1 for the second time but at some point i failed, (i flashed it succesfully first time)
now my phone is Rebooting everytime and black brick appears on the screen covering 4/5 of the Galaxy ace logo

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?
download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked
yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.
Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.

my phone S5570 also has the same problem, black screen, can not go into recovery mode or download mode.
but go to RAMDump (vol up + home + power) and connect it to my PC, my S5570 is detected by the PC and odin, but can not flashing my rom.
stuck in "Setup Connection" I know it because my phone is not in the download mode.
whether the USB JIG is the right solution?

(I think this set of steps works in these
conditions: Hard-brick, absolutely non-
responsive to any button combination.
Odin still recognizes the phone when
connected through USB port)
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de
microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button
combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE
COMBINATION, insert the battery, and
keep the buttons pressed untill you get
the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid
firmware through Odin (Preferebly,
have Odin prepared before doing this
trick).........
hit thanks if this helped you and others....

I have a Samsung mini S7750, in resetting to factory defaults boot.
Boot mode or recovery mode does not.Only works is a combination of "home + vol up + vol down" moves into some mode where it while Odin detects the two com ports, but nothing to do, Odin hangs on setup conection.
JIG does not work [resistor 301kohm].Display is black.

Hi. My S5570 is hard bricked. Will not turn on in any way i try. Does not go on download or recovery mode. The USB Jig method does not work for me. (I tried with around 3) and I connected my phone to my laptop and help down power + home + vol up and it does not recognise my device but when i do power + home + vol up + vol down it recognises it. I then used Odin to recover it but I have tried over 50 times and it is always stuck on "Setup connection...". Can someone please help? I have already tried re-installing Samsung USB Drivers. Still not working. Please help and thanks!

Only hold vol up+home+power and THEN connect it if download mode works. I mean if it's recognized by the computer, download mode has to work, there is no way. If it does, then flash a stock ROM.
Oh and also something: before doing this, pull out your sd card and even your sim card. The same thing happened to my phone and Odin could flash it after removing everything.

There is another way that u can try:
(Asumming that samsung mobile drivers are installed, with no Samsung KIES... & odin running in the foreground.)
*Remove sim, sdcard & battery.
*Now connect ur phone(without battery) to pc via usb cable.
*Now press the usual download mode keys(volume down & home & power buttons) together without the battery.
*While still holding those three buttons, insert the battery.
At this point Odin should detect ur phone so that u can flash stock firmware.
U can try this atleast since u r left with no choice:sly:.
Good Luck..!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!

Hi! I have a galaxy mini s5570. When i press the power button the screen don't turns on; the download mode and recovery mode don't start. If I get the phone in the ramdump mode (Vol Up+Home+Power) or in emergency dload mode (Vol Up+Vol Down+Home+Power) the screen don't turn on but odin recognizes the phone. I tried to flash any firmware but odin stops at "setup connection ..."
