Hi,
I really need your help. I have Samsung Galaxy S with CM9 on it. Few hours ago my phone went into boot loop and then it switched off. When I am trying to turn it on all I can see is the triangle with exclamation between phone and PC symbol. I cannot go to recovery mode but I can go to downloading mode. I have been looking for solution for over 3 hours and nothing. I've tried ODIN but it did not work. Oding got stuck on factory.fs.
Any ideas, please?

Hey, man. Same problem here. It seems that my cellphone is with its memory full, then I can't upload any rom to it. Any ideas?
I have spent whole night on this but still I am in dead end. Maybe it is because of memory but I am not sure and I can't really check. Help please.

Just saw this on another forum about how to force a phone into recovery mode:-
There is another Method but I am not sure of it's effectiveness in 900X
Please Try the Following Step By Step:
First Turn Off the Device and Remove the Battery
Press and Hold both Volume Up and Volume Down Keys
While still holding the Keys Enter the Battery into the Phone
This Method has been effective in the GT-9000i and Nexus S.
Peace.

Here is another link that might be useful. I think your phone is "soft bricked". Using this method you will download all the files that the device needs. Hope it doesn't wipe your phone!

I downloaded ODIN and Gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware but I cannot flash my phone. ODIN does not respond, sometimes it gets stuck on setupconnection and sometimes on zImage.
EDIT.
Finally I have made some progress. After hours of flashing my blue bar on the phone finally reached half. Should I wait more or it is 100 percent sure that some error will come up? I am tired if this soft bricked phone already and I don't really know what to do. IMO I should just wait couple more hours and see.
try getting a jig which will force your your phone into download mode
I am in download mode, no problems with that but flashing takes ages.
hi
Did u get off your sim card and external sdcard, turn off the Kies? Check all drivers for your phone?

This worked for me as well. I never thought to try the download anyway with that screen showing.
Thanks for the tip.
I think that i may of fully bricked my Galaxy s
I cant get into download mode or recovery
I have tried getting into download mode with a usb jig
Also my phone wont even turn on
Is there anything that i can do to make my galaxy s i9000 work again
I DONT want to have to get it repaired
hi dude did u tried to charge the battery
---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
if u did use jtag usb to active download mode and flash u re phone using odin
try to flash u re phone using a laptob if it s possible
hope u re phone wake up
Galaxy s
I have tried charging the battery and it didnt work
Tryed getting into download mode by using 3 button combo and a usb jig
I cannot flash with odin because i cannot get odin to recognize my phone due to the fact that it cant get into download mode
Cheers for ur help so far
Try getting a charged battery from someone else? maybe your battery is flat
Galaxy s
tried using a fully charged battery and it still didnt work
how did you do that? I mean, I thought it was nearly impossible to hard brick an Android Smartphone..
What did you try to do? More details would help pinpoint the issue properly.
i done all of this by updating my galaxy s by odin i then accidentilly removed the cable and now my phone is fully bricked. Samsung just say that it is impossible to brick it. They just speak a load of bull****
From what he said on YouTube:
He pulled the wire, accidentally, whilst he was on ODIN flashing back to stock rom...
I have suggested:
-Getting battery out + 3 button combo
-Trying to get into download mode
-Trying a JIG (which he got)
-Trying to get into recovery
I've run out of things to suggest...if anyone else knows more, then please post it for him :/
I'm just surprised the JIG doesn't work.
Which firmware did you flash? Did they have bootloaders?
@dhiru1602 i want to know if there is any methods that u know of that could help me get into download mode or just getting my phone working. I cannot do anything with my phone. I am thinking of sending it in for repair but that will only happen if there is no way of getting my phone to work
@dhiru1602 i flash back to jpx
Cheers totallydubbed for ur help so far
Can u check ur inbox on youtube plz
Answer these questions.
Which firmware were you on?
Which firmware did you flash?
When did the flashing stop? At the very start or sometime during the process?
Are you sure your battery has some charge?
It might be possible that the phone functions but display isn't coming. Have you tried the key combination and checking if the computer recognizes the phone?
Galaxy s
1. i was on Jp6(Froyo)
2. I flashed Jpx
3. The flashing stopped about half way during the process
4. Yes the battery is fully charged
5. How do u do the key combination to see if odin recognizes it ( if u mean the three button combo to get into download mode then Yes)
If the phone is being recognized by the computer then why dont you try a reflash?
Galaxy s
the problem is that i cant get my phone to be recognized by the computer
Repair
I have finally given in so I decided to send it in for repair. Thanks for it help anyway

well good luck my man.
Remember flashing is a learning curve, don't take it as bad or anything. it happens to everyone once in a while.
Just remember when in download mode you do not want to do the following:
-Disconnect it
-Have a power cut
USUALLY, a JIG solves issues, even if you had the above two - in your case it didn't
The only thing that I could think of is the bootloader getting corrupt due to which the Download Mode doesn't work.
Brand new phone
I have just got my phone back which was great. it wasnt covered by manufacture warranty but they still done it for free. However they couldnt fix the phone so they gave me a brand new Galaxy s!
Cheers for ur help anyway though
Yesterday after unbricked my note from lpy brick (for the 5th time), I tried to flash a stock rom with a pit file (found somewhere on xda, special 16gb pit file for restoring bricked device) but the flash stuck at the begginning so I unplugged it.
Now my phone is unable to go in Download mode, recovery mode neither normal mode.
The screen stay black whatever I do, I've tried all the combinaison possible...
I tried to put it in charge all the night but now the problem is still here.
Any help appreciated

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file
Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.
USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...
I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?
Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?
Hello!
I have a problem, and don't know how to solve it... I am using JB Alliance ROM, and everything worked great, until I uninstalled iGO. Actually the uninstallation was successful, but right after that, I went to My Files, and I deleted the iGO folder and my phone froze. I kept the power button pressed to make a simple reset, and after that it went to a boot loop. I tried to go into recovery mode holding vol up + menu + power buttons, and from that point on I have only black screen, even when I tried to charge it. At that point, my battery was about 80%, but I guess this doesn't matter.
I read something about these problems, but I am not sure which is actually my device's problem.
Can anyone help me to solve this? I have a JIG, but I used it only to get rid of the yellow triangle a few months ago...
Thanks a lot!
Rasvan
Try going to download mod and flash stock GB or ICS rom using PC Odin
Thanks for the reply! I tried also this, but the phone still looks dead... I mean I can't go into Download mode even after I pulled the battery out for a few seconds.
Use jig and go to download mod.
btw dr. ketan is an expert .. pls pm him and ask help..

Thanks! I'll do that, and will come back with news.

you cant get into recovery?
no... not even with the JIG. I guess the only option is to take it to a samsung service.
try this and if not working then only go to service center

ok guys, so here's the story... it happen yesterday, as anyday i woke at the sound of my alarm(bodies-drowning pool)... now i wanna listen to the song while I write this; well, anyways... everything was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine, phone looked as good as always, got ready to school, then at chemistry class when i wanted to check the time... phones dead, first thought, battery dead right?... nope! a friend of mine got another golden , and nein... still not working with her battery, tried mine in her phone... it worked great; also forgot to say that it did not enter to recovery neither download mode, not even vibrates when the power button was pressed... so i think did my teacher bored 2 dead my phone?... ok ok, jokes apart... the problem is, after I discharge the phone reactive elements, it finally give me a glimpse of hope, it started, samsung letters with model number-breath away... waiting still-and again the ****ing letters, yeah it got into a bootloop, turns out is not the common ones... tried everything i can found on internet (first pages of google, search on xda... list goes on) nothing works... tried:
Using Odin(only download mode works)
flashing couple of bootloaders
flashing param+wipe
flashing param+wipe+stock rom
PD: if i try to enter to recovery mode, it shows TWRP image before the menu comes up, then goes to bootloop again.
PD2: Also when i hit power it shows the samsung letters with the return and menu blinking about 4-5 times, everytime I try to start the phone, then it goes to bootloop again... and so until it drains the battery.
PD3: Almost forgot, when i try to flash the stock rom, i get "movi_write card_status 2" and blk goes as far as 682k if it matters.
Willing to try anything all in the name of science of course ... if nothing happes im gonna tear it appart and salvaje everything my new rover may need a couple of thingies later on...
Little help will be appreciated
You can try conecting another USB cable on the back USB ports of the PC, also try to flash with an authentic stock firmware, you can get your exact phone firmware from Sammobile.com
Found a solution?

Have you tried flashing a fresh and perhaps newer version of TWRP?
What were the results of your attempts to flash the above? I understand that you still can't get it to boot to device or recovery modes, but does Odin report success?
Have you tried using fastboot to boot it into recovery mode? (You'll probably get the same TWRP bootloop, but worth a crack.)
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
...and have you tried re-rooting the phone using one of the one-touch applications (e.g. Kingoroot)? I don't know what state they need the phone to be in to work, but it might help in getting a usable ROM onto the phone if it works.
Disclaimer: I'm no expert - still haven't managed to get a working custom onto mine yet.
