try to remove battery wait two minutes and then try to go to download mode!

yes i did that mny times removing the battery coz you cannot turn of the mobile witout removing it..does not work like that

Just remove the Battery ...press vol down + home + power(on/off) simultaneously and insert the battery(don't release the keys when u r inserting the battery) ...you will get the download mode...and reflash a fresh copy of stock firmware again...good luck...

You could try making a jig: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Or heat it up with a hairdryer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788537
The jig is the best method, I got a similar problem and used the hairdryer trick and it worked for me, then I bought all the bits to make a jig just incase it happened again!
How about download mode?

no download mode also .....
i will try i guess the HAIR DRYER
the recovery should just POP UP or after the heating littl bit i should press the buttons ...
?
Heat the back up, hold down the buttons. Not sure if you need to hold the buttons down, but I did and it worked. If you manage to get it into download mode you will then need to flash with odin

You must have done something to make it not work.
Your choice is one to return to a Samsung Service centre ,
or use the download mode recovery jig .
And or charge the battery .

Try to unplug the battery, wait a little and plug it back.
Does your sgs react when you charge it ?

is there an another option?
i'm pretty sure there is a way of forcing download mode, and then flashing a ROM using Odin.. not sure how though.. try googling it or asking around on forums.
Although, if you dropped your phone, and now its not working, there's a possibility of physical damage, and then you'l have to get it fixed.
The good news is that if you cant force download mode or recovery mode, and you cant turn the phone on, your dealer won't be able to tell what you were doing without forcing a flash or replacing hardware, so you're safe anyway.
But yeah, try forcing a flash using a bootloader.
EDIT: oh yeah, check this out. seems pretty scary, but hey, what the hell do you have to lose??

Well... I just can turn on the phone but when its on he says the GALAXY S logo en than the screen gos black and then its viberating the whole time. and i dont wanna spend money. OOhh yea i have dropped it from 20 cm not so high
I have had this problem already. You need to force download mode by pressing three buttons and then with Odin reinstall the version you use to have you can find everything on this forum if you search a little. Success!

Install a stock rom pit 512 and repartition checked via ODIN .
No download mode buy recovery jig .

i have dropped it and it wass like 30% complete with flashing now when i wanna press the 3 buttons it just starts normaly
Stupid reply but: Tried pulling the battery out?
Anyways:
No download mode means buying/borrowing a jig.
Or you could try the hair dryer method but thats a bit risky.
If you cant to any of those you'll have to send it to Samsung. Just say you were updating to 2.2.1 with KIES and then when the update was finished, your phone wouldnt start.
If it fails starting in download mode remove the battery put it back and try again. If the telephone can boot to the galaxy screen. It can boot in download mode. It was tricky when i had the problem and it took me 2 hours until i manage to have it. In my telephone the trick was press menu first then on and volume down..

Note CAPTIVATE NOT SAMSUNG GALAXY S
Its a different system for download mode on a different phone .
Method remove battery replace hold down volume DOWN button and HOME button Now hold down POWER button .
When phone boots to splash screen let go of home and volume down followed by power button .
not work means you need the download mode recovery jig from the front pages .

I9100G cannot start but can charge. Hard Bricked??

Guys i tried to flash [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 experimental builds then i found out it is not stable yet so i decided to flash back to Malaysia ICS 4.0.3 thru Odin. After i flash the rom thru Odin , my phone keep restarting . After that i decided to unplug the battery and switch on again . I cannot start my phone after i unplug and plug in the battery again. I cannot go into download mode and recovery mode but i still can charge my phone with charger. Is my phone hard bricked? Can anyone save my phone from bricked ? Please give me some solution T.T
its impossible to hard brick the phone with software unless u flash some other phones boot loader on it , leave it on charging for an hour after that pull the battery out and try again , i remember having that prob try to get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up after charging
Hard brick means u cant do anything. The fact that your phone is charging shows its not hard bricked. You cant do much though. Charge it and flip out and in your battery and try to go into download mode. If by chance u get into download mode, quickly roll back to an offial 4.0 or even 2.3.6 fr the time being.

does your phone opens with a black screen when you push the power button or with a half brick screen like a phone and a computer image on the screen?
I would suggest that you take the battery out, plug it in after a while (5-10 mins) and turn on the power while quickly holding the Vol up+Home keys into the download mode. Then flash your ICS 4.03 via Odin and see if it works
you need buy or make yourself an USB JIG , then you can put the phone in download mode and reflash the stock firmware, i recommend reflash the 2.3.6 rom and next update via kies ...
Ya . thanks guys, it is not a hard brick . Is my handset got problem. I solved the problem already
It is writtrn there already did you get a black screen
After the boot that means you have not selected the resurection version.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s plus cant boot

Hi, Im David, I have got a Samsung Galaxy S plus mobile.
I installed the clockworkmod to the phone to backup my datas, but i couldnt exit from the CWM.
After few rebooting, my mobile not boot. The samsung logo dont appear, and i plug into the charger, the battery dont appears too...
What should i do?
Im sorry for my grammar errors, im Hungarian.
Thank you for your answers!
Whatever you try to do screen remains black? No sound, nothing?
If so, I'm afraid you have been hard-bricked, but no need to panic, follow these steps and it will get your phone into download mode and from there you can flash a rom throught odin and your phone will be back to life.
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your galaxy ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your odin );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
That should bring your phone back to life.
If it worked for you, please click the "Thanks" button =)
No sound, no sign, the screen is black.
Im trying your steps. But how long the buttons I hold at step3?
if not something went wrong, it doesnt work
What about usb jig? Do i try it?
Well yeah you can try using a jig, As the jig will force your phone into the download mode and from there you can flash a custom rom.
If you don't have a jig you can find one on ebay
Jig might aswell not solve your problem, Since I think that your phone's bootloaders are damaged and therfore you have to send your phone to a repair place, and since your warrent is voided, they will charge you extra cash for that.
But you should first try the jig, High chance that it will force your phone into download mode.
Goodluck!
Press the "Thanks" button if I helped you
I will try the jig soon.
But i have a warranty. If i take it to the t-mobile with warranty, they repair it?

Once you rooted your phone, you have voided your warranty,, therefore they will charge you for the repair, If you still have your warranty, they will repair it for free, but rooting voides the warranty.
I installed only clockworkmod recovery.
Nothing else.
I tired the jig, nothing.
I think I take it to the service
