Not sure what I did o my Tilt...

I hate for this o be my first thread on here, but I rendered my Tilt unusable and after searching around I can't find any information on how to fix this.
Last week I dropped my my Tilt, the battery fell out, and when I turned it back on all the settings had been reset to default. I was trying to fix this today and had just gotten around to reinstalling HTC Home when things started getting buggy. It said I didn't have enough memory, but there was pretty much nothing visible in file explorer for me to delete and I was unable to open "remove programs." I tried to just do a hard reset but being an idiot I guess I misunderstood the directions and nothing has been working since.
The first thing I saw was the tri-color screen with "Serial" at the bottom and "KAIS1*0 MFG, SPL-1.0.Olipof, CPLD-8" up top in the red. When I hit the soft reset button I et he AT&T screen and the regular numbers in red but it stalls there. I can get back to the tri-color screen by soft resetting while holding down the power and camera buttons, but otherwise I always soft reset to the AT&T screen and stall there. Can anyone tell me what I might want to do? Thanks.

By "stall" how much time have you given it? The first boot after a hard reset is always going to be much longer

You have just Bricked Your Phone. But I think you can Recover. Press and Hold Down the Caera And Power Buttons and Stick yourstylus in the Soft RESET Hole. Hold Them And See if you get back to the Tri-Colour Screen. If you can then Bonus And you may be able to recover.

It's definitely 100% stuck at that screen, I left it for 15+ minutes.
I really hope its not bricked I CAN get back to the tri-color screen...
Edit: I just realized that it flashes "No Image File!" right before going to the tri-color screen.

Do you see "USB" at the bottom of the bootloader screen if it is connected to your PC when you turn it on?
You also have the option of trying to flash a new ROM using a microSD card.

That was going to be my next Step. If you can See USB when you plug it into your computer You are in luck. Also, DO you have an MicroSD Card?

Actually I haven't had a chance to connect it to my PC yet, I'm not at home. I also have never flashed a different ROM onto it or done anything that should void the warranty so I'd be really surprised if I was able to brick it this easily.
Edit: I should be back at my PC later in the week so I'll try that, thanks. I also DO have a micro SD card.

Then all is not lost. Let us know what happens when you get to a PC with a Sync Cable.

Alright, will do, thanks for your help!

Actually it looks like your device is HardSPL'd so your warranty is VOID. But I don't think that is your problem. It looks like this is something your going to be able to fix as suggested once you get to a computer. Many devices have been saved from this point as long as you take your time and be very careful on what you do. Esp if you have to get in useing the command line.

How to handle Internal SD Failure with Bell?

My phone has experienced the Internal SD failure.....for the second time.....since November 19th (a miraculous 13 weeks).
I'm unsure of when the first phone I had was made, but my second phone was 10.09. Yesterday just looking around, I noticed it hadn't been turned off in over 2 days, so I decided to turn it off while it charged overnight. I woke up in the morning, turned it on, and all my apps were gone and the background was default. I thought odd, rebooted again, and the phone hung on reboot.
I've tried flashing to my default 2.1 UGJH2 with ODIN. My phone would boot through the Galaxy "S" Loading screen, and then go black (with softkeys still lit).
I've tried using Darky's 9.2 Resurection with ODIN. The phone will load the "Samsung Galaxy GT-i9000" screen, go black, and reboot.
The phone can still enter Download Mode, if anyone has a suggestion to try I am still willing!
This is my SECOND phone, while the first one was an immediate replacement (failed in the first week) I am very dis-satisfied. I know some of you have gone through measures to complain and gain compensation, was hoping you may have some words of wisdom on the best way to tackle this?
Thanks team

my suggestion contact Bell to get you a replacement or contact Samsung and send it in for repair, and wait for like 4 weeks without a phone

You could try flashing JL2 and tick the bootlegger option in odin. Some people have had success with it
GT-I9000M with Doc rom

I've gone to the TBooth where I bought the phone, they have set up a return with Bell/Samsung. They offered me this garbage Nokia in the meantime... Just wondering how you might recommend trying to get some compensation for my troubles?
- 2 dead phones in 13 weeks
- Paying $62 per month for data/service...but with this loaner I get no data (internet, but browser is not worth using). I do not want to pay this months bill...

I've had my phone mess up twice - but I just go into recovery mode and wipe/reset everything - then when I reboot it's fine - but I KNOW that mine is somewhat faulty too.
How long does it take to replace? do you have a #? I am in Calgary

I thought this might work for me too, I can access recovery/download mode but wiping or even flashing new ROM's still don't make this phone boot.
I've been told it will take 2-5 days for the shipping box/label to arrive at my house from Samsung, then 2-5 days return shipping to Samsung, then 2-5 days for processing, and 2-5 days for return shipping once again. I've been told it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks.
In the meantime...

Are Bell phones the only ones that are experiencing Internal SD failures?

Yes, it seems that the chances of your Bell phone failing are almost certain in its lifetime, some more than others.

Call bell customer support. They should credit your account for $100. I'm on my second SGS now. Shipped to me with 2.2 JL2. DOM is Nov 2010.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy tab :(

I bricked my tab. First I tried to install Modaco's kernel with Odin 1.7 and then it got stuck on galaxy tab screen. I could enter download mode, I tried to install rotohamers ROM and Odin said pass but I was still stuck on the same screen. So I entered download mode again and Odin got stuck for 30 minutes, I closed Odin and turned off the tab now I can't enter download mode or turn on the tab or do anything. When I plug it in to charge the screen lights up that's pretty much all that happens. Is there any hope? And if not can I get the tab replaced? Thanks in advance. Now I get a white screen when I plug it in.

Same here, any help would be very gentle ...

You should go to nearest samsung service station.that's what I did.

same problem with me, just go to samsung service center and tell have problem when update with kies
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

I guess, if cannot enter download mode there ist no chance to solve the problem without help of a samsung service station.
Or you must reassemble your device and flash it with a riff box.
google for "riff-box-jtag"

I guess I will need my receipt.. And I don't have it.. Do you think it's worth a try?

First try to charge the tab. Than put it into download mode by pressing power and volume down. Check odin if it found device. If yes you are saved. I am telling this because it has been mentioned few times here that tabs simply discharged during flashing and it can be unnoticed. Secondly during failed attempts tab screen can show anything but in fact it can be in download mode once power + vol down is pressed so just check if this is your case.

I tried it but the Tab just show a blank screen and Windows won't even find it..

Youve screwed your bootloader up.
Your only option is to JTAG it or send it away fro repair.

What is a JTAG ? From what i've seen (Google ) it's seems to be something that I buy?
Thank you all for your answers!

At this point mate, send it to samsung service centre for repair...
J-tag is NOT for the faint of heart or noobs...Not for most people come to that...

That's what I tought and I gave them a call, but they say they can't do anything without a receipt.
I'll give them a second call.

ok if you cant get samsung to accept your tab try letting ur tab discharged all the way to empty. Once its completely dead, let it be for a day, then plug it in and try to boot to download mode. I havent used this technique on the tab, but it has worked for other phones ive had by removing the battery for a bit and put it back. Let me know if it works. Thanks
PS
Dont know if you are in the states, but if you purchased from any of the carriers, they should be able to help you out within the first year or so. unbranded, you should be able to track down the reciept from place of purchase

this is where im at.
first the history. I had serindipity, tried adding the unusefull kernel and got stuff in a att splash then off cycle. I made a jig, got it to the downloader screen. plugged into odin and all was going well but odin stalled and i waited a good 15 minutes. nothing, i pulled the battery and no matter what i do i get this screen. been looking all over for answers before i asked, but nothing anyone else did works. currently my pc does not see anything plugged up which scares me. ive tried 3 different usb cables. any ideas?
and yes i read ALL the threads that populated when i typed the title.

Can you still get into download mode?
You did try closing odin, then reopen it. Pull battery out of phone. Put back in. Dont turn it back on. hold volume up and down button at same time then plug the usb into phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Build or buy a USB download mode JIG. Just search the term and either give it a shot or buy one to get back into download mode.

what is an unusefull kernel? do you mean unhelpful? the forum member? that was a 2.1 kernel. other than that i dont know what an "unusefull" kernel can be.
even if you get the phone to computer screenthe phone can take a connection from odin occasionally.
pull the battery
open odin
hold the volume up and volume down buttons
put the battery back in
keep holding the volume buttons untill either the phone+computer or a yellow android with a shovel pops up on the phone screen
watch odin and see if a yellow box lights up. if it does then press start on odin.
the phone + computer screen sometimes shows when the phone is in download mode if something is really messed up but seeing it doesnt mean you are also in download mode.
i dont want anyone telling me the difference between the phone+computer and download because i have succesfully flashed with the phone+computer screen as well as with a completely black screen, sometimes you get lucky!

It was the unhelpful kernal. Sorry about that. I have done everything you guys have said already. I guess I will just keep trying for now. Hopefully it it will work atleast once. I have the jig an that's how I got it to dl mode the first time.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911
i have read all 23 of these pages, and im still stuck. but i want it back. nice to have a rooted phone for all the fun stuff!
lucky my main phone is a moto atrix. this phone was donated for experiments from a customer.

just keep trying.. If you have the jig and can get into download mode.. Keep trying. Try a different usb port, restart your computer.. close up odin and re-open it..

why did you make a jig before flashing? dont you know about the button combos?
dani forgot to mention have the phone plugged into the computer for his instructions.
few ways to try download mode:
from powered off, hold both volume buttons, plug usb into phone FROM PC
or
remove battery, plug usb into phone and pc, hold both buttons, put in battery
or
from powered off, put in jig.
or
just MAYBE>>> from soft brick screen, try adb command "adb reboot download" (adb setup guide in my sig) worth a shot.
what version of odin are you using? 1.0? use 1.82. it freezes less. and some people have been able to flash at the soft brick screen
ODIN3 v.1.82.zip

just for one small second i got the pc to know something was plugged in. but no drivers were found and then adb coudnt get to it. still stuck at phone!computer. i havent seen any other screen other than that yet.
its late so i will get at this again tomorrow. thank you for the help so far.

if you wouldnt mind sending it to someone adam outler may be able to flash it being it is not a hard brick. he has been able to get download mode with his uart/arduino setup. the method is far from complete or perfected but it is fairly safe for the phone.

heres what i get from adb. i should also say that i still dont hear my pc making a noise at anytime when i plug it in. normally anytime i plug something into a usb i hear it make a sound. is this bad or normal at this point?
i have tried all the key combos and jig. still stuck with the same screen. even when i use the jig i still get phone--!-- computer.

Definitely fixable with the jig! Best investment I ever made ..... after fidgeting with a home-made one from Radioshack.

Homemade jig or did you buy one? If it's homemade, you have to keep trying - it took me a half hour to touch the right contacts the first time ....
Jig should work - it shorts out the usb connection and forces download mode ....

go to ebay, search for "micro usb jig".

i already have a jig (homemade), thats how i got it to download mode instead of the looping. the last time i used the jig it still put it into phone--!--computer. i just searched ebay and found it, im gonna order one.
lucky my daily phone is a atrix, (soon to be a s2, LOVE the samoled) this is just a experiment phone so i can learn (donated by a loving customers pool). i now know a lot more than a did 2 days ago.

well, i guess i have got the jig working well now. i have got it back into dl mode. i should be good from here. thank you thank you guys!!!
all done!!!
re rooted and ready to screw something else up!!! how else will i learn?

it's great that you got your phone going... after a week of attempts with my home made jig, i finally ordered one fromm ebay. I'll attemtp to repair then and post results.
UPDATED!
I had forgotten about posting here, and my problem has been resolved. So here it is... I tried everything that I could find within this forum, almost. I built my own jig with inferior radio shack components that would not activate download mode, though it would turn the phone on. I got wise, spent 8 dollars at ebay and purchased a JIG there. Instant download mode after 3 days (shipping). Reflashed with one click, updated w/ kies, made kernal changes and am now rockin my captivate. Thanks to those who assisted.

[Q] Fully bricked galaxy s

hi
i think my galaxy s (i9000m) is fully bricked i used to access to download/recovery mode with 3 button combo but since i flashed jp1 i get phone--!--computer screen and there is no way to access either download or recovery mode i don't have any warranty is there any way to fix this ??
thank you

Check it out in Youtube~It's called the Jig USB method~
There are also topics concerning making Jig of your own in this forum =]

thanks for your reply
its seems complicated isn't there a way to buy a cable ? and is there a (free) way to get download mode back again ?
thanks

don't know if that helps but when i try the 3 button combo phone restarts to the same screen again and again and again ....

I'm a complete noob soo i don't know if this is true (and i'm not responsible if anything goes wrong) but here it goes.
I don't know if this is your case but that happened to me yesterday,
i connected the USB cable while i had that screen on my phone and was able to flash with ODIN.
It was like even with the phone--!--computer screen, it was still in download mode.
Try pressing the keys to put in download mode and then see if ODIN adds it

That happened to me also last week while trying to root a gingerbread version, started to panic.
I took the battery out for 5mins, refitted it and then was able to enter download mode ok, then managed to flash back to froyo, and jobs a good un now.

Ebay sell jig and amazon i bought one had exactly same problem fixed it in minutes

Hang on, one more thing you can try, worked for me just last weekend....
"Leave Odin Open. Then Plug the USB. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes release the Power Button. It will get to the download mode"

U can try doing this:
Pull out battery and sim card
Hold both vol. Up and down buttons
Without pressing power button plug USB in phone while Odin is running on comp.
Even if it gives error at this point, ur still in download mode.
Try flashing a different .md5 file.for phone.

think i tried all possible combinations it just don't want to go on download mode

My GT-I9000 did this 2 weeks ago. Nothing worked and I didn't try the Jig but sent it back to my phone store (optus australia) who sent it back to samsung and they fixed it no problem.
I do have insurance on it though for the 2yrs.
It was the- Anim Mod *Root* by JRummy that bricked it?

no its was the jp1 firmware that bricked it

i think its dead can't get the phone replaced or repaired

How did you go with your phone mate? I had mine sent back under warranty and was returned in under two weeks.
If it want under warranty I would have made or bought a jig and had a crack at that, otherwise maybe look in your local newspaper or call a computer repair place and see if they know anyone in your area who could fix it. Word of mouth mainly!

Your phone is not bricked,it has a corrupted boot loader etc. Samsung can easily fix it but the cheaper way is to build or buy the usb jig, lets face it gonna cost you about 10 quid to buy the jig. I happened to me sometime ago, Samsung fixed for free, then i made a jig just in case.
