[Q] dead????

tried to flash a different galaxy s firmware to my captivate thru download mode and it went to reboot but did not come back on the other day and now i cant get the phone to turn on at all. is there a fix or is it a $500 brick???

Different Galaxy S firmware meaning not a Captivate cooked rom?

straightup firmware from samfireware.com. have NEVER had a problem.

But wrong bootloaders = brick, soft or otherwise. Try a jig to get into download mode.

Samfirmware has nothing which will work on your phone.
I'm looking to do some experimental non-invasive recovery on bricks and I need something to test. If you'd like, you can send it to me for some analys and it could help the entire community... or you can send to connexxion2005 for jtag recovery.

If you can't get download mode probably bricked.

After watching your video, it looks like a hard brick. A jig will not help. You need to consider JTAG, invasive or non invasive.
Good luck.

[q] galaxy s not starting up?

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S is not starting up. I press the power and nothing happens. The device was rooted and in fully working order. Then I turned it off one time and it suddenly wouldn't boot up. I've tried taking the SD card out. Removing the battery and putting it back in. I've tried to get into Download Mode and Recovery which I could do fine before but now it won't work. Please help the phones basically a brick now and I don't know what to do. I've tried everything

Building a jig is your best bet. Basically, connecting a certain amount of resistance across certain pins in your USB header should force the phone into Download mode...guide on it here

Is there anywhere I can buy a jig? Because too much effort to make one

It's not a 100% sure solution. Only a few had a problem worth to use it in our device. In my knowledge, most of them succeeded to get in to the download mode(That's not assuring you will). :fingers-crossed: Keep your battery fully charged by any other methods.
You can try it yourself. You can get one for just $1.6 from here or build one using this guide

Thank you!, i will try to buy one, i just did not saw any video in youtube describing my problem i think its just full brick and can't be fixed

nope. not turning on was full brick, u need unbrickable mod (UBM), jig for error entering download mode with 3 button combo or adb
n is it really brick? try charge it, juz plug da fone n leave it for 2 hours n boot it after that
n for ur info, error in flashing will result in middle or softbrick, if doesnt even turn on after flashing something with odin, then its not i9000 as flash i9003 with i9000 rom will result in full brick (which mean u need UBM for this problem)

S I9000 won't power up

Hi all,
I have a serious situation with my S I9000, I really need some help.
So I had jelly bean Cyanogenmod 10, It worked fine until one day I updated it, and then I tried to Update some apps using Google Play App but the update didn't finish and cause me lots of unworkable apps.
I rebooted my phone to recovery mode, I made a backup, and then tried to restore an old backup (before I updated Cyanogenmod) but then the phone didn't want to start, It powers up but stays at "Samsung galaxy S....." welcome screen forever.
I was not able to start in recovery mode, how ever the downloading mode worked, then I tried to flash android 2.3.6 with odin but it failed.
And now my phone won't power up and doesn't show anything, even the charging screen.
I know I really messed things up but I really need your assistant guys.
Thank you (and sorry for my weak English)

What did you flash through Odin?

It's probably a hard-brick (I had the same problem last week). There are two ways that can solve it.
First is with a USB Jig. You can buy one (are super cheap) or trying to construct one by yourself. Here are some posts of handmade USB Jigs:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331782
The second way is by taking your phone to the shop.
Hope it helps you!

Thank you, but I think that USB Jig doesn't work, cause the phone doesn't show anything at all : no downloading/recover mode and no battery charging screen.
I heard about JTAG.. do you have a tutorial for that ?
Thanks again.

JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it

is it really i9000? or i9003?
as far as i know, flashing i9000 ROM into i9003 will hardbrick ur fone

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.

I solved the problem.
The phone was completely dead. downloading mode or recovery mode didn't work even the battery charge status wouldn't appear.
The solution was JTAG. it's complicated and used only by professionals as @TenKoX said.

Good day
I am new in this forum, but please help. the following summarizes my problem:
1: I upgraded it to 4.1.2 using N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_TTT about 2 months ago using Odin. It worked well
2. latter I tried to root with PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar.md5 using Odin. It was not successful, instead, it brought a yellow triangle with with an exclamation mark inside while booting up, but, it still worked well.
3. Yesterday, i tried to root it again with http://205.196.123.93/16u53bf954yg/6bxp34p353tf8ob/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63-signed.zip. It rooted quit alright but with the yellow triangle still there.
4. I then tried to remove the yellow bang with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
5. my phone went off totally. i tried the Jig, no effect. Plugged it to the computer and still no sign of life. How can i solve this?
I will appreciate any help rendered.

Its not good practice to hijack a thread in the middle of someone seeking help... If you really need to, start your own. I realise this is your first post, just letting you know how it works.
Philz kernels are meant to be flashed from recovery, not odin which is why you got the yellow triangle. I have no idea what method you took to remove yellow triangle, but easiest way is to use triangleaway from the play store.
You rooted correctly the first time and it was successful, you then tried to flash an incompatible Philz kernel which is why it won't boot. Flash a full rom using pc odin and start again, and read the instructions fully next time.

If you can't enter download mode with jig it's fully bricked and needs a motherboard replacement under warranty.

No, warrantees don't cover intentional damage. You can recover a bricked phone for $50 US with the JTAG process. See www.mobiletechvideos.com.

What do you mean by international damage? more so, $50 is not a problem, shipping from and to Africa is more e xpensive and quite unsafe
