[Q] I Bricked my galaxy after bad update - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I hope you can help me on that:
I accidentally updated my i9000 ROM to i9100 ROM with odin, during the flashing the odin wrote "FAIL" and stuck. i disconnected the usb and rebooted the phone.
now the phone not powering on (black screen) can't enter to "Download Mode" or "Recovery mode".
any idea?

You can't do anything. Your phone is bricked and now u have a i9100 boot loader which is completely different than ours. With the wrong boot loader u can't enter download mode and can't flash a new one.
Better luck next time and learn to read.

[Q] Possible Unbrick For Galaxy Tab !

Ok guys now i have bricked Galaxy Tab.
Main problem is my customer wanted to install custom rom without rooting device. So there is no recovery mode. I flashed with odin and Heimdall but stuck at Galaxy Tab screen.
i found a solution. There is a recovery section in Heimdall. if someone tell me or send me recovery file i can test it and i will tell the last situation. If it works we will find a solution. if not ...
PS: if u have other solutions please offer me . i didnt find a suitable solution.
Thanks for reading
We would need to know what kind of tab.
it is euro tab
Can you get back into download mode (yellow android digging)? Or sometimes a phone-pc! picture? Then you can just reflash.
i can enter download mode but after re-flash system cant start. bec there is no recovery.
flashing has no relation with root... you can flash firmware on a not rooted device WITHOUT any problem.
recovery is inside the firmware you flash....I think you got some confused ideas...
i am reflashing device it reboots and stucks at galaxy tab screen.
i checked 3 - 4 firmwares same error.
i check
adb devices
Result :
xxxxxxxxx RECOVERY
adb shell
Result :
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Any ideas ?
try this it might work
hold the power off button for 10 second
to make sure it really powered off
hold down all 3 button together
see if it power up in recovery mode

You don't flash with adb. Flash with odin3 or heimdal.
man i am flashing with odin it reboots and stucks in Galaxy tab screen.
3 button combo stucks "Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode " screen
Finally ;
Reflash with odin and heimdall :
Result Stuck at Galaxy Tab Screen. Adb result Device in Recovery.
Attempt a full flash with firmware that has recovery? MoDaCo is a good one. Doesn't sound bricked to me, sounds like your rom is not compatible with the firmware.
Are you flashing a ext4 firmware?
I got this tab stuck at the galaxy screen when I attempted a recovery to a non ext4 backup. Sounds similar.

i cant flash ext4 bec it stucks at %100
i re-tried it it gots FAIL at %100
This is a gsm tab, correct?
Have you tried any other kernels or roms?
Which are you currently trying to flash? Did you unlock the bootloaders?
Sounds like a revert to stock and 2nd attempt are in order.

i tried to flash PDA section it gave me error. i flash with PHONE section (via odin) it resets but still same error.
it is gsm euro tab. i tried original 5 firmwares
i tried Roto, JM6, Modaco, Overcome still stuck at same state...
i still think main problem is No Recovery partition in device.
If you can get it into download mode, then there is still hope...
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer...
When mine was stuck at galaxy screen, and wouldn't even go into recovery, I flashed a new kernel and all was well.
I also never used Odin, always Heimdel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
as i read in modaco :
after kernel update enter recovery
but no recovery after kernel update any ideas
Likely because you haven't gotten a complete flash... At least that is how you make it sound.
Are you sure you have and are following the instructions correctly?
Unlocked bootloaders and proper use of odin are the two things I would check right off the bat...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
i am not sure that if my bootloader is unlocked or not.
i flashed with odin that is fine what else ?
Last resort I have for u
If u are able to get in download mode
Go get roto jme V4 full version
Flash it with Odin
Please read instruction for installing roto jme v4 full version
***FLASH ONLY WITH ODIN***
FOR GSM TAB ONLY

I have a similar situation, the phone keeps restarting and will not stay on long enough for me to flash anything.

You bricked your device. If you barely got it call Samsung and ask for an exchange
i have checked the wiki there is ntn in there about looping samsung only looping tmobile.. and also this is how i got it from my friend dont knw what he did to it...
It will also loop only Samsung without a rom, but there should me text somewhere stating "No OS." somewhere, maybe download mode says it.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
if that the case what can be done.. im thinking the bootloader messed up...
Go into download mode, if you get a message saying no OS, try flashing one from recoveryif you can reach it or Odin to stock.

cant get into recovery this is what download mode says
product name : sgh-t679
custom binary download : no
current kernel : unknown !!
trying flashing clock work through odin it ended prematurely
You can always try the flash to stock Odin file. If that doesn't work then I'm out of ideas.

You can always pull the battery and then put it back in and hold the power button and volume up and the home button.

The 3 button combo does not work because the phone does not start.
That's why I can not get into the download mode

Which method did you use to flash it?
Is your battery loaded?
First you need to check if your battery is charged. If you have a friend with s3 mini try to charge your battery in his phone.
If the battery is charged, the phone should boot. The recovery doesn't affect the boot partition. If the phone doesn't boot you probably wrote something not ok in the boot partition. In this case only a JTAG can fix your phone.
When you flash the recovery from Odin the file you want to flash should be in the PDA box. If you put the recovery in the bootloader box, the recovery file will overwrite the bootloader and your phone won't boot any more. Odin doesn't test if the file is ok for that partition. This is called a hardbrick.
If you didn't touch the bootloader partition, the phone should boot and you should be able to get it into download mode at least. I don't think there is anything you can put in the PDA box to make your phone not boot.
Try flash the stock rom again, use odin it should work even if you're phone is off, remember you had to previously installed samsung kies on your pc/laptop so you're computer recognized your phone (that's simply basic)... I've seen the tys0n dude knows a lot too he's helped other guys good luck pal.

Bricked?

Hello! I recently found my bricked (?) S5830 and wanted to play around with it.
However, I cannot turn the screen on (it's black even when in recovery mode)what so ever but my computer do recognize it, the weird thing is. I can infact boot it into Recovery boot when it's turned off, but can't boot it into Download mode. I can only boot it to DL mode when im in recovery mode.
I tried odin to flash stock firmware but i only get "SetupConnection" stuck.
Have I lost it?

Hi Lossyx, i'm a little confused by your post?
Can you see the screen flash on, Samsung logo, or battery charge logo when phone off ?
What happened to cause this problem?

Nope, the screen is black (no logo, no charging logo) whatever I do. Still, the phone can be recognized on the computer. And I can feel the battery getting warmer sometimes.
It was 4 years ago I used this phone but I think I flashed something wrong.

I flashed a s5830i rom with odin on my s5830 by mistake. . took a trip to samsung to fix it.
When in cwm recovery do you have adb access? (wait 30secs before you try).
If all else fails download mode is the only thing left, flash stock rom via odin or kies.
For reference when I bricked mine the pc would still "see" it but not in the correct mode
to flash a rom.

I won't send my 4 years old for repair, I'm fine with my 5X.
When I plug in my device Odin recognized it and the ID:COM box shows yellow (as it should) but when I click start Odin stuck on "SetupConnection..."
I haven't tried flashing with kies, will do it later.

not a bad cable is it?
program run with admin privs?
Try
adb reboot
from your PC
Your's is indeed a unique problem coz odin changes everything from radio, kernel, recovery and of course your rom.
