Hi, I have i9000 with unworking 3 keys combo, and i use the adb reboot download turn the phone into 'downlpoad mode', then use Odin3_v1.0.exe to flash new firmware. But it just stop at "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!", and 30mins nothing happen, then i remove the phone. The phone get Bricks, cant turn on anymore. any one can help me? and can anyone upgrade the phone 3 keys combo disabled??
Offical service
adb reboot DOWNLOAD????
i think it could work.
I'm sorry if this sounds a bit hard, but: There is a million warnings on this forum about flashing if your download mode key combo doesn't work. If you get the phone>!>pc screen, your phone is bricked (because you cannot use the button combo) and your only chance will be to try to return it and hope that the retailer is nice enough to replace it.

Where's fun if can't flash it?
Try:
Boot it to download mode with ADB.
Once in download mode, plug out the phone and start Odin.
Once Odin has started, plug in the phone.
Otherwise Odin will hang.

And if the flash fails for some reason and the phone reboots, you have a bunch of spare parts for the new SGS you buy...
that is how the OP got his phone bricked! did you not read the rest of what he said?
he already did it via this method

sending the phone in to the store for service is the only way to "fix" it, as they will likely have to replace the phone for you, expect 4 weeks wait time
I have a friend with this prob too, I made a ROM backup of my phone and flashed his that way.

Point being that the phone must be plugged in after Odin has been started not before.
Even my phone hangs if it is plugged in before Odin is running.

yes there is!!!
but with odin though( which is unfortunatley the hard way )
but before i tell you the odin way..............
feast your eyes on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLYkMk16la8
first flash xwjm8 with odin
Then flash your region's eclair firmware. From there you know the route.
Wish you all the best.
thank you, i shall give it a try right now
Need to get a firmware with 4 files (pit, phone, modem, csc) then flash with odin and repartition. Should work now.

How can i get adb to see my device? i can get into download mode but that is it. Adb says device not found. I cant turn on the phone therefore i cant also get into usb debugging mode. Is that a problem? how can i get it to read my device?

oh well u didnt turned on ur debug mode u adb wouldnt read ur phone, the best treatment for that is to flash ur phone with Official Roms, theres nothing to worry about if u can still go to download mode and if odin can detect ur phone
whats bells firmware called?
i'm planning to root my samsung galaxy s i9000. i want to know if accidently i brick my phone will it restore?

as long as you can get to download mode you can revive your phone.you can try CF root.read carefully the instructions,choose the correct file and you'll successfully root your phone.here's the link

the best is before you root, try to see if your handset is able to access download mode (vol dwn + home + power) if im not wrong, some handsets are unable to access download mode through the three way method.
Don't worry, you can unbrick it fast with odin, but only if you can put your phone in download mode: volume down+home+power (stop from keeping pressed when it starts).
If that works, pull out your battery, place it back and turn on. It should load normally, with no problems.

Hello,
I tried to flash back to the stock ROM of Galaxy S and then install a new Jetpack 8.2 custom ROM.
Apparently, since I did a bad search on the internet on finding a stock ROM and pit file, i downloaded a pack from xda with the .pit file pda file phone file and CSC file.
I DONT REMEMBER which it was..i selected all the files from the pack through odin and re-partitioning was ticked (i saw it after the flash finished).
So when the processes was completed waited a bit and since the phone was not responding i pulled it out.
Now that's it.. The screen is black - wont power on - wont go into download mode - wont show battery charge while the USB cable is on - nothing (AND YES THE BATTERY IF FULLY CHARGED).
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
p.s: havent tried a usb jig but from searches i made on the internet and on xda forums ppl said it will prolly not work. are there any instruction on how to make one (link would be appriciated)?
Thanks in advance
Best option would be to try a Jig (you can buy one on ebay or dealextreme) and see if you can go into DL mode. Sometime the button combination for Download mode changes depending on the firmware. Try pressing the middle of the volume rocker and power at the same time.
If not wait for a Jib or build yourself one. There should be instruction in this forum on how to build one.
if the jig doesn't work, i would try and return it to the store you got it. I know its a long shot, but the same thing happened to me and I brought it back and she just gave me a new phone! Its worth a shot!

Worth a try. Just tell them it suddenly stopped working and you have no idea what's wrong. It's not like they can power it on and see that you failed flashing it or something. and even if they use a jig they can only get to download mode and reflash it...
even if they say no... a jig costs like $1.5 on eBay. search for "i9000 jig".
Insert if, press the power button and poof, you're in download mode,
the thing is that the phone is not under any warranty or something and the store i got it is far away now !!
JTAG service if you're in the UK: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/
The JIG won't work when you brick with a black screen (i.e. bootloader corruption, so no boot at all).
Your only solution is to JTAG it or sadlly, throw it away...
I used a I9003 ROM to flash it !!
Maybe there is still a solution?
also from what i've found on forum sometimes the JIG helped ppl who had a black screen to go into download mode. so how can you be so sure? @ Dan_Aykroyd

As long as your bootloader is intact, the jig will get you to the download mode
Wrongly flashed i9000 with i897 rom has been confirmed to work with the jig, but i don't know i9000 with i9003 rom...
Or you can apply the unbrickable mod if your phone's warranty was voided already, if not, send it back to the shop.

Had that also yesterday putting a new ROM on my GS. The process of writing the PDA halted.. Black screen, no way to start it up en no screen indications of charging etc..
I removed it from my USB, Removed the battery a few times did the three way download mode trick several times and finally I got the download mode screen from where I successfully loaded the new ROM.
So try a few times.. even when you get a black screen !!
let me be clear once more..i downloaded a complete I9003 rom pack from xda... some guy posted..i just missed that it was I9003 and not I9000..
and on odin re-partition was clicked..but the process was completed successfully even thou after that the phone wont start or go into download mode :/
i used not only PDA and PIT files but 2 more was included as well :/ so what i am asking is if this could really have damaged the bootloader or not

Of course you're bound to brick it flashing a firmware for a phone completely different to yours...get a jig if you're confident or take it to a service centre

Try jig first.
Next try JTAG or UNBRICKABLE mod.
Then Try a service centre.
in case it wokes up.. anyone has links for stock rom and pit to flash with odin?
thanks again
There are some ways, when already got into DL mode is best to reflash with 812.pit file and then again with 512.pit file. After I bricked my phone and got "death" screen (God I was crying) I found way of taking up DL mode (hopefully SGS is pretty-hard to brick). Others than that try to connect to your phone via usb (remember to first inset usb and then battery) and hold ALL of the buttons on your phone. Screen must flash about 3 times and then release volUp to get DL mode combo. I hope that will help you as me.

Are you 100% sure the JIG wont work if bricked with a black screen. Are there any other possibilities to unbrick the phone. I really need this phone back or my dad will kill me..
Hi everyone. Im not normally in this section as i have an x8 but my friend has seen all the roms,mods and updates ive done so he tried to do it to his galaxy s i9000 without rooting or unlocking his bootloader. I asked him what he did he said he just tried to update software with keis but now it wont turn on just white screen with a red triangle in the middle i hope its download mode as i dont have a galaxy i dont really no but the battery has died and it wont charge im guessing hes damaged the bootloader am i right and if so whats the best corse of action to tepair it. Thanks.
You can check if it is in download mode by pluggin it in pc with odin. See the wiki page what it says about soft brick.
Soft-Bricked
After flashing a rom you might not be able to enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. In this case a so called 'JIG' would be helpfull.
You could build it on your own: [HOWTO] [REF] Get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG
... or buy a preassembled one on a well known marketplace.Hint: There is no difference between a JIG for Samsung S/S2 or S-Plus.
See if you can go into d0wnload mode with vol down home and power. If that works go and try to find the stock firmware for the phone and download and extract. Download odin and put csc pda and phone/modem in there rightful places. 512 pit in pit section. Pit usually comes with odin download. If not find it somewhere. Repartition checked and hit start. It should reboot when done. It will problaby take a couple of min to boot but be patient. If it starts to go into boot loop put back into download mode again and reflash. Its very hard to mess up the phone to where you cant fix it. So relax and watch tuts or whatever helps you best. I know of a link i that i will find and post for you when i do.

DEAD bricked phone
So, my friend's phone (hopefully she'll stay my friend after this) was turning itself on and off all on it's own. So I (no good deed goes unpunished) suggested that I will upgrade her firmware for her. She had 2.3.3 firmware. I downloaded the odin1.7 as well as a package of all the info for 2.3.5 firmware upgrade. I flashed the phone- originally only using the PDA option with a file called: CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship
It worked, the phone restarted and showed the firmware as being 2.3.5.
I don't know why, but I thought it would be a good idea to update the CSC and the pit and the modem as well- so I did that. when this was finished - though odin said that the flashing was successful the phone is completely unresponsive. The computer doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show any signs of life at all- like it's in the dark ages and there is no electricity in it.
HELP!!!
First question: do you think a jig will work? how dangerous is it?
second question: is there any other option to try that I haven't come across other than changing the motherboard, and if there isn't do you know where I can get one, bear in mind I live in Israel.
Please e-mail me a copy of the response to [email protected] if you can...
Odin dosnt pick it up atall plus the batteries dead aswell now and the stupid thing wont charge so i cant evan try any thing till i find away or some one to charge it but thanks for the tips.

Try to recharge the battery from other phone or use another battery.
Check whether you have the download mode working. (Home+Power+Volume down)
If yes, put phone in download mode and flash Darky RE or any other Rom via ODIN. Try to get the recovery mod after rooting and then try ROMs.
Or try restarting the phone it may work without update also. Long press power in download mode restarts the phone. However be careful.
What is the status of the device can you go to download mode
Post your firmware files name and how you choose in the odin flasher.
Dont try anything crazy you will bricked your device more:banghead:

Alternate way to Download mode
Hi gavster26
I have been there with a buddy's phone... not a nice place.
Found a link showing this other trick ... but you have to trial and error this one on the different combos:
1. Phone off
2. USB cable pluged in
3. Odin running
4. Down (or Up - test both) Volume button + Home button + plug in the USB cable.
This booted my dead "bricked" phone into download mode.
Try it.
