[Q] Bricked. Three-button won't work! Help!

So I was reverting to Rogers stock on my Captivate so I could flash a new ROM when Windows explorer crashed mid-process, causing Heimdall to fail and brick my phone (got the Phone-!-Computer screen). After reading around, I found the 3-button method and tried it, which got me back into Download mode. I used Odin3 to flash AT&T Stock, but when trying to install clockwork recovery I kept getting an error. Looking through OTHER threads, I found that the recovery could be flashed using Odin, so I went back into download mode and started it flashing. Then Odin crapped out and bricked my phone AGAIN! Now the 3-button method won't work, and I'm back at the Phone-!-Computer screen. Computer won't recognize the phone at all, and I can't get back into Download mode. What do I do?

Did you try this:
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into computer
3. Remove the battery from the phone
4. Plug the cable into the phone
5. Hold down both volume buttons
6. Put in the battery
Hopefully that'll get you into download mode if not look into making a JIG.

No go. Won't boot into Download mode. If 3-button boot was disabled or something I'm SOL. Gonna have to make a jig I guess. Ffffff---

Start it up plug the phone to the comp. If you see the fastboot usb in red at the top left hand corner then there's still hope!
If not you better save up for another phone.

Unfortunately this IS a new phone. I've had it for about a day and a half. The three-button method for getting into download mode isn't working at all -- it just sits at the Phone!PC screen. Gonna try to assemble a JIG tomorrow -- otherwise I'll have to take it back, and who knows if they'll replace it.

They will never know that you messed with it if they can't turn on the phone to check.
So I think your safe.

Fixed! And with a ****ty, solder-free JIG no less! Wrestled with it for a bit and Heimdall wasn't cooperating, either, but I got it going.

An iGo power tip, three 300k resistors taped together, two alligator clips and a pair of clothespins later, and my phone works!

That's awesome! I'm glad you got everything worked out. Btw did your three button work before?

It worked initially, before flashing the AT&T firmware the first time. Second go when it bricked itself during Heimdall's update to Rogers stock 3-button wouldn't work -- hence the need to macguyver the above JIG.

I removed the battery when phone was in download mode

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.2 (FROYO) system upgraded from 2.1 version using oden.
Yesterday I tried to update this system because I have some problem in my phone (shutdown automatically...). I used the same method I used before to UPGRADE the system (oden write SBL above the port number colored in yellow).
Unfortunately, when the phone was in "download mode", oden has stop working on 30% approx. it says that the com port is not available (knowing that this port worked correctly when oden established the connection). So I removed the battery from my phone...... (I know it is a stupid idea).
Now the phone do not start-up and when I connect it to pc nothing happens.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me what must I do??
Thank you guys

Can You Boot the phone into download mode manually ?
press volume down + home + power simultaneously
ps that wasn't stupid idea - it was the only solution to turn off broken flashing, but You must try boot it again to download mode and flash again but this time make sure that every file is properly placed in odin: file with MODEM as phone, CSC to CSC and third to PDA.

Oy.
As far as I know losing power to the phone or rebooting the pc while flashing the bootloader is one of the only ways to properly brick the sgs.
This sounds bad...very bad. If the bootloader had been erased but the new one hadn't been written before you pulled the battery, then I fear it is Goodnight Charlie. No bootloader, no phone.
If you can use the three button method to get to download mode as the post above me suggested, you will be alright.
If not....maybe a jig but I would doubt it.

You seem expert so you can find a creative solution

I purchase this phone locked for orange in France and I unlocked it to use it outside France. Can this cause a problem?

i would strongly suggest you first try building the jig with resistors
if that doesn't get you into download mode, then you can take the phone to your provider.
good luck mate

How can I do this, I know that if the Samsung logo does not appear (like my case), then this method will not work. What do you think?

are you able to see the following image on your phone when you start it up?

if you see this then it can be saved, if its just a black screen you are kind of screwed

Does the phone show any reaction? Does the acreen show anything? Any Sound? If it's just a black stone and doesnt react at all, send it to Samsung and as reason for the phone to be bricked, just say Kies f***ed it up while you tried to sync contacts or so. I did that one week ago and as you can see it's working again.
Well if it shows reaction try building your own jig as mentioned in the thread above or buy one from ebay to boot your phone into download mode.

ONLY black screen. The phone is out of warranty, will this cost a lot? they will fix it by hardware (change a part) or by software?

Try this:
1. Take everything out of the phone (sim, micro sd, battery)
2. Press volume up+home+power
3. Put the battery back in while still having the three buttons pressed.
4. Hopefully you are in download mode.

if its gets the phone into download mode, u know what to do then...else take it to some unofficial service centre..i mean ordinary cell phone repairing shop and see if they can fix it.

[Q] What is this?

So i've been playing with my captivate which i had bricked, sent in to samsung, they fixed it and send it back, and i bricked it again the day i got it. I finally managed to get something on my screen! Anyone know what this is?

ive tried it multiple times and was only able to get that screen once. I did not have the USB plugged in, and i pushed on the bottom right side of the phone a couple times squeezing to make sure the battery was in, so i dont know if maybe one of the soft-keys was a part of bringing it up, or if this screen even matters to anything?

You can get into Dl mode just try it, this has happened to me and i was able to fix it

I've been trying for a couple months now to get into download mode. This is the first time ive seen anything on the screen since trying. Under my thumb is an asterisks (*) on the left edge of the display, but i can never get anywhere. I've tried all methods from http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
Nothing lets me in! But im gonna keep trying...

I got it again! It says:
RST_STAT = 0x1
PMIC_IRQ1 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ2 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 = 0x14
PMIC_IRQ4 = 0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 = 0xc0
PMIC_STATUS2 = 0x2c
Any idea what that is? I plugged the phone into the comp with the USB cable, no battery, no sim card, no sd card. after plugging it in i held volume UP + power and put in the battery and it came up!

Remove every thing batter sim memory card, Press both volume plug in the cable then battery, Or both volume then battery and then cable or make a jig it will 100% work.

Its actually working now, its getting into download mode just fine, i think my problem was a cable that just doesnt want to work, i have to position it JUST Right to get a connection with the PC that sticks, or else it connects and disconnects immediatly!
So im on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) and im using Heimdall One-Click to try and flash Android back on, but i get errors... every time...
The main one im getting is when its trying to setup the interface after i click flash, it just sits there forever and if i click the details button, it shows that it failed.
Any ideas?

Ok, here's the error information when it DOES connect and tries to upload the kernel:
Code:
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...
Beginning session...
Handshaking with Loke...
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download sucessful
Uploading KERNELKERNEL upload failed!
Ending session...ERROR: Failed to send file part packet!
Clearly not a lot of information, but i'm using Terminal to run the jar file in administrator mode, and it does this each way.. I think im goin to reboot and try odin one-click in windows and see if i get anything different?

Ok back in Windows 7. Using the AIO toolbox, im doing the 1 click flash to stock option, and in Odin, this is what i see after hitting the start button:
Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Never really changes from that....? I've also tried Odin 3-Click where i select the PIT file and the PDA file (the firmware file) and do it that way but that also freezes and doesnt continue... Any ideas?

Nope, grabbed the shiny new one thats only been used a few times. I can get into download mode, but nothing will flash... And the ONLY way to get into download mode is to plug in the usb cable and hold down the volume buttons when putting in the battery, no other "simple" method works (havent tried the jig or unbrickable mods).

Wow i finally got it! Its actually progressing through the flash right now, and i think i know what happened.
In windows, when you connect and disconnect a device, windows lets you know with sounds... Well with a new cord or old cord, the phone would reconnect a few times (many more with the old cord) when plugging it in and getting it going, and when it does it many times, the flash doesnt work...
But when i connect it the first time and am careful not to move anything so that it connects only once and i click the start button, it works!
It just passed the AT&T logo and finished the animation for the Galaxy S logo.. Wow its gonna work! Sweet jebus!

Glad it is working.
it did seem from what you were posting you were having a connection problem such as a bad cable.

Yeah it seemed like a cable problem, but its really just the port on the phone, its so worn out the mini-usb fits in loosly, even brand new cables... ugg...
Well now im having other scrambled screen issues, but they only occurred after installing the Apex 10 rom, so im talking with them now to see if they have any idea why its doing that... If they cant figure out the scrambled screen issue im having, than im gonna try some other roms to determine if its them or the phone.. Could be either!
Thanks for the help!

Apex is a gingerbread rom looks like u did not flashed the GB bootloaders before flashing the rom.

It can be internal memory problem (or RAM). Some PC do the same with BIOS problem

That's it.
you also won't be able to get into recovery.
If you're going to flash bootloaders with your connection issues it is quite possible you will hard brick if it disconnects while the flash is in progress.

[Q] Hard bricked? Help!

I lost connection to the PC when reflashing back to Stock 2.3.5 and now the phone only displays a picture of a phone and a PC with a triangle warning sign between them. (wish I could post the pic).
I can't get into download mode or recovery mode. Tried 3-button and USB cable method but no luck. Any ideas before I panic? Do I likely need a jig to fix?
Thanks!

Having a Jig is always a good idea. Remove battery, open Odin, connect phone in PC press Vol up and down, insert battery. If that doesn't work then get a jig.

If for whatevever reason after the Odin process you get the "Firmware Upgrade fail !, Try using recovery mode" screen,
don't worry. Treat that screen just like the regular download screen. Go ahead and pull the battery and
get back into download mode (that failure screen will come up), Odin should recognize your phone and then you can repeat
the Odin process. And it should Pass.

Thanks for reply. Tried everything to get Odin to recognize but no luck. Might need to see how fast I can get a jig...

If ur screen has the "Firmware upgrade fail etc., etc." then Odin will recognize ur phone. Close the Odin, then right click it and run as administrator, then connect ur phone to the computer (use a usb in the back of it if u r on a desktop or first port on a laptop--don't use a usb hub). Then if the com port on Odin turns yellow, u r good to go.

^What he said.

Looks like I hard bricked my cappy finally after a year and a half of flashing it...it is my fault, I thought my cable was securely plugged into my computer, but my cat decided to walk in between my phone and the computer, unplugging it during an Odin flash...Now all I get is a black screen and nothing. I reseated the battery, same deal....did the whole, remove battery, hold down vol up and vol down and plugged in usb and then placed battery in and still no love....I also tried the normal, remove battery, replace battery, hold down vol up and vol down and then plugging in usb...nothing...computer doesn't beep as to recognize a usb deivce has been plugged in and I even booted into my Linux box and it doesnt see it...I think I finally killed it...I do have a Jig on order though that is set to arrive tomorrow...I am hoping that puts me in download mode, if not it looks like I am buying a SG2. Anyone else have any ideas that I could throw a this thing other than what I already did? I mean I even tried different versions of Odin and Odin wont even recognize it.

If your phone shows no sign on life, you have only two options, one is JTAG and other in UnBrickableMod by Adam Outler.

The phone-pc-triangle is not a hard brick.
1. Use adam outler's one click unbrick. For this, i have to ask if your COMPUTER (not necessarily) even sees the device.
2. or it is jig time. If you cannot wait, and can access radio shack, make this simple jig http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128. There are lots like this.......I know, because this home made one worked just fine for me.
Remember, for some reason the second time around the exact same 'jig" - previously used - did not work, so it looks like a one time shot ??
good luck !

i have had odin recognize and flash my phone with the PHONE /!\ PC screen many times. try it. if odin turns yellow it will probably flash.

Ubuntu comes with open something jre. Use that. Right click and open as java

Ah, I used a Live CD to install my copy of Ubuntu, it looks like i didnt install that tool when I installed the OS. I am looking through the software installer within Ubuntu to see where I can find that.
Edit: I did finally get it to run, unfortunately the Unbrickable software says, Failed to find Device. So it looks like I need to ship this thing out for some mods.

Well, I got my Jig....My cappy is dead...The jig did not do anything, I knew it was a slight chance that it would work.

Who can fix this phone in a hard brick state that its in??

[Q] N7000 bricked?

Hello, peeps!
So I was when starting an application, my phone doesn't respond. Tried the power button and it didn't work so I removed the battery and placed it back in.
Here's when my nightmare starts. My phone is stuck at the "GT-N7000" screen, and I cannot proceed further. I'm unable to start Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Power + Home), and only Download Mode works.
However, I tried flashing stock roms, Odin showed no progress even after almost 2 hours.
What seems to be the issue? Is it a hard brick?

Questions should be in the Q&A section.
Is odin able to detect the phone.. ( the port square in odin turns yellow/blue?).
check if there are any Kies processes running in the task manager.. kill them, restart odin and restart phone in download mode and try again.

stuck at the NAND Write part, and the progress bar shows no progress at all (the green bar thing). Could this mean hard brick?

do you have warranty? If yes, take it to Samsung and tell them to rectify it. If no warranty then, you will need to get into recovery may be by flashing a kernel using odin.

Wow...thank you for such quick replies!!
Nope, no longer in warranty..Can I have a link to the kernel file?
Thank you so much!

Before you go about this.. try a reboot PC, reboot download mode phone. try a original USB cable and main USB port of pc and flash again,
If above still stops at NAND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
look for a tar.md5 file which is odin flashable. If you remember the build number of you phone, then pick that else get any JB kernel and flash using odin. check if odin gives a pass.

Sorry for double posting, here's the screenshot..

you dont need to select it everywhere... just the PDA ONLY.
1. download http://d-h.st/FVh.. this is a PIT file.. select it in the PIT partition. Check it and also repartition.
2. select the kernel file in the PDA..
3. press start... (you will need to reboot into download mode every time to start flashing. so remove the battery.. reboot into download mode.. (vol down+home+power)... after you get the screen volume up to continue.. once the screen shows DOWNLOADING, then connect to pc .. open odin

Thanks again!
How long does it normally take for the entire process to complete? The progress bar of "Set Partition" isn't moving at all

There seems to be some issue with the USB Port or Cable or PC.. you need to check ...a full flash of rom takes about 5-10 mins.

use only the back usb port, don't use the front or extension usb ports, they often throw up problems.. good luck

elprix and
I tried everything suggested, but the progress bar doesn't even move
What are the symptoms of hard brick btw?
EDIT : I tried with Odin3 V3.09, and it is stated Re-Partition failed.
EDIT2 : Tried multiple files, progress bar not moving at all.

It don't write to NAND. But it still is able to set partition. Have you tried a different pc? Uninstall Kies completely and then again install Samsung usb drivers.

Hi everyone!
I experience a similar problem as the original poster! Yesterday my phone was fine, but then it rebooted and got stuck. Now I can only get in to "Download mode". There it says:
Odin Mode
Product Name: GT-N7000
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
I've had it running Paranoid Android successfully for months and then this happened! So where do I go from here,,,? I have Odin downloaded, drivers installed, so what should I try to flash and in what order?
I would be thankful for any help - feel a bit handicapped without a phone!
