[Q] I9000 dead since flash

Hi,
I made a mistake in flashing PDA file of my i9000. The flash stopped after 19 seconds, it was too fast.
About my Galaxy S:
Power button : nothing happen
Download mode : nothing happen
Battery removed/inserted : nothing happen
To resume, whatever I do, screen keep staying black. Nothing display.
Is there anything I can do?
1. USB Jig with a 300K resistor : useless or not?
2. Send it to someone with a RIFF box : useless or not?
Thank you

Weird, usually the SGS is practically un-brickable. I've personally done it tons of flashing to it sometimes with catastrophic results but it always bounced back.
Try sticking ur charger in and let it sit like that for a while. Then try to start the phone. I really doubt bad flashing can fry it. If you get a boot-loop while the screen is blinking release the power button from the starting 3 button combo ( power+down+home) and it should enter download mode.

1. Are you able to charge the phone?? Yes or No
2. What PDA file did you flash? What were you trying to flash?
3. What all things you checked/unchecked in ODIN before pressing the start button to flash?
4. What FW were you on??

1. No way to charge phone
2. I choosed same file for PDA/Phone with i9000XXJVT rom
3. Re-partition/Auto Reboot/F.Reset time checked
Flash lock/Bootloader unchecked
4. FW was Android 2.1, basic one.
Screen stay empty whatever I do, no reaction from the phone.

Get a USB jig. It does wonders most of the time when you think your device is bricked.

USB JIG works fine every time

Re-partition was checked, but did you select a pit file?
If not, that's likely the issue.
USB jigs work great. I bought a couple pre-built ones from Hong Kong just in case I bugger something up.

Huh, was not aware of these USB jigs till this thread. Will definitely be buying one as I flash a new ROM each 3 or 4 days (addiction).

Hello,
My wife has somehow managed to get her galaxy mini stuck in a boot loop. USB debug was not enabled before this happened and I cannot see the phone with adb. I can get to download mode, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go from here?

Install kies in ur pc
Install odin for mini
Dwnload tass.ops
Check for working usb cable and port
Dwnld any stock firmware from samfirmwares.com
Extract its contents and place it anywhere in pc
Keep ur phone in download mode...power+centre+down buttons when phone is off
Connect to pc while running odin
If odin detects your device ( to check this, observe a yellow bar in COM1 AFTER connectin phone)
Click one package, select ops, select tar.md5(stock firmware)
Push start
Have some water take a potty break
When a blue colour in COM1 is shown with pass in it...THEN ONLY DISSCONNECT THE PHONE
THE ABOVE STEP IS VVVVERY IMPORTANT
Use ur phone like before
Happy flashing and good luck

A nice quick clean guide...I will put it in my blog with links..thanx mate

Thanks for the replies. I will try odin, im wondering if odin will work if I cannot see the phone with adb? It is currently stock everything as it was out of the box. The first thing I did was the factory reset but it diddnt help.

If ur from any cm7 or cm9 then this is useful.
first flash GB using odins u see the samsung logo boot looping now close the odins ,remove the battery,reinsert it and now enter into recovery and wipe data and cache. (I do the same thing when I flash gb from cm9)

It seems odin is windows only? Does anyone know of a good tool for Linux?

Galaxy Note stuck at Samsung logo after automatic update..PLEASE HELP..!!

Hi guys,
First of all m a noob here and got here after doing alot opf research on google but have not find any solution yet. I have got a major issue with Galaxy note, never been rooted.
So I have been using ICS on my Galaxy Note for almost a month now, and a week ago, I saw a message telling me that an update had been downloaded and the phone would be rebooted to install the update.
I clicked the OK button in the dialog box, and my phone did reboot but is now stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (after the initial musical animation, which incidentally was terminated midway).The phone got quite hot after about 20 minutes, so I switched it off by pressing the power button. Then I switched it back on after a while, and it was stuck at the flashing Samsung logo. N now its stuck there..
Restart does not work...
Recharging does not work...
Battery swap does not work..
I contacted the service center, they say they will flash the firmware but all the data will be lost and also they are not taking this in WARRNTY.
Can anyone help me with this please.. its been dead for a week now.
sorry for bad english

re:
Also tried POWER OFF+VOL UP+HOME .. a android green logo comes up. but again phones goes to samsung logo and stucks...
however,POWER OFF+VOL DOWN+HOME button gets me to a yello triangle logo and asks if you want to install custom rom...
Please help me guys...!!

^^
where you using the stock kernel itself on ICS?
do the latter..
boot to download mode, then try to flash your phone back to GB using PC ODIN. Once it's in stock GB, work your way up again to ICS. And oh by the way.. sorry to tell you this, but I don't think you can recover back your data after since this process will erase everything on your phone.

So which stock GB should i download, there are so many here and m confused which one will work for me.
Thanks in advance Sir.

Here - >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of our good 'ol doc Ketan), Look for the stock GB of your region ( Page #2) and download it on your PC. Use PC Odin to flash it to your phone (in download mode)

Ok, Thanks again John.
i have i more doubt. The stock rom thread says "Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly". i have installed kies but when i connect my phone to it, it gives me Mtb driver bot installed properly error.. would it create a problem?

Yes it would.. try to completely uninstall and reinstall Kies and try later on, to plug your phone again.

ROM (I have test it and is quiet well): http://hotfile.com/dl/156903886/f54b510/S5830i_XXLA4_OXXLA2_XXLA2_by_SplitFUS2.zip
When you install it, later you can install a custom rom I recommend you Mindcr ROM.
