Ok, Ive looked around and to my despair ive tried everything and have not been able to do anything. What happened was I flashed a CM9 nightly onto my Galaxy S i9000 and was stuck at the S during booting. I couldnt get into recovery but I could do download mode.
I was looking around and stupid me found a one click ODIN that was for the CAPTIVATE only, which I should have read that first....
So then what happened was it turned on and got stuck at an AT&T screen during boot, couldnt get into download no matter what I tried. Then I just left it at that screen because I was pissed off with myself.
Not long after I left it, I came back for another crack at fixing it, but the phone was off, was cold, and couldnt turn it on. I cant charge it, I cant do any sequence of events to get it to even feel remotely responsive. and now I may as well just buy the Galaxy II.
I do want to save my little friend of a phone though that I have had for 2 years, I might buy a jig if I can find one for like 1 AUD on ebay or something, but am unsure that it will work.
So please im begging someone, is there any way I can revive my little buddy. I am begging for a response that works :'(
U got soldering skills ? Search adamoutler for the unbrickable mod.
To get ur battery up and running ask some Samsung center nearby to help charge the battery for u . Or ask a buddy with a working sgs to charge it for u .
If ur hopelessly lost Samsung will fix it for a cost .

dont give up just yet!!
leave it plugged into a usb port for at least 1 hour see if anything comes up on the screen.
try that and then report back! you may find it gives a logo of (connect pc to phone) if it does that let me know and i will give you a guide with links to install from fresh with odin

What rom where you on before ?
Well phone where updated with Froyo 2.1 but nothing else. oh it were also rooted and thats about it! have been thinking about to sending phone back to the manufacturer! dont really have time trying to find some cure for it.
Rooting = no warranty so you would be best to clear it via jig just in case .

hi there it been longtime since i wroted here.
Well i tryed the jig method with usb cable and with single 300k resistance, made little mistake not to measure it before because there is a 5% tolerance with it so my resistance were only 294k. Doesnt work btw phone dont do anything with it, well i have to make new cable and be sure that it is the 301k resistance. will be adding new info after it what will happen. Im slightly scare that even getting that right resistance it wount do anything, it wuold be that point when i will send it to samsung and maybe get it working again.
Downloading...
okay. next problem with jig managed to get my phone to download mode!! JIIHAA
but now my computer cant regonize it!? actually this problem had before the magical black screen. Any solutions for that? have installed new usb drivers and oldones but cant find it.
PLS need more help!!
Sounds like you need to clean the cable. I've had a hell of a time with these issues in the past. When it is on again off again (or you just get 'generic device' or unkown device) then try cleaning the port on the computer with running alcholol and something tiny enough to get in there.
I did that after a huge long search on here and it was like freakin magic. 8 drivers popped up all at once!
Never hurts to do the comp and the cable too (and make sure its not a charging only micro usb...).

Hey guys,
I'm really starting to think that my Tab is well and truly uber bricked. I tried (stupidly) to update it to gingerbread stock forgetting the flooping fact that the P1010 differs hugely to the P1000.
It was so weird, I got no error messages from Odin everything looked like it was going well, until I tried to get the device into download mode again. It won't turn on, I can't access recovery or download mode. It does try to come on when doing button combos but just shows a black/blank screen and turns off again as soon as power button is released. No icons or logos.
Another thing is that when off it flashes the creen every 10-15 seconds. Not sure what to try as battery will be running low by now and scared to let it go flat.
Anybody else got this, I feel like a right twat, don't even wanna know how much samsung will charge for repairing this.
If anyone has any more button combos to try please feel free to tell. I'm pretty deperate.
Josh at MobileTechVideos has helped me out when in similar circumstances.

Actually, that's the call...just return it and play dumb.
I forget the part that it was just a couple days.
I disagree with that advice. I hate dishonest people.
Just tell them the truth and see if theyvreplace it. What's the worst that can happen? They don't send you a new one. You won't be any worse off than you are now. Its worth a try.

the best drama ever you can do
1- go and do not smile , chicken ..
2- be shocked all the time during you are talking and blame them
3- say , how come i sleep than i woke take out my tab from the charger i couldn't turn it on . is this can happen because of the ELEC ? ? Act like stupid ,
they will ask you did you try to update it via kies , say how i update ? ? ? after u say this , trust me , you'll get your tab in 3-5 work days
Wow, lots of dishonest people here. Use the de-bricking service, pay for YOUR mistakes, and chalk it up to a valuable lesson to read and pay attention to what you're doing in the future.
Just something i did when i thought my tab was bricked. I turned it on even though it wouldnt show anything on the screen. I then let the battery drain, next day I plugged it in and pwered it on, it worked.... is there any type of mode that you can get into?

This is what I'm saying. Contact the guy from above and see if he can help you. You may pay for it, but some mistakes cost you money. If that doesn't work for you, then you're out $350 because of a mistake you made. If paying $350 for a mistake you made is the worse you end up paying in line, you're better off than most.

you didn't 'forget'... you didn't know. just nitpicking
I also support the return-it route. once it's back at samsung they can easily re-flash it to their proper software and sell it as a refurb.
I made your mistake today and I got the errors you've gotten ..
what did you do with your device , have you find a solution for it ?
I did this years back on the very first phone I flashed, a Sony 750i which I was trying to flash to 800i software. It usually would have worked as its same hardware but unfortunatley for me they had recently changed bootloader or something that made mine incompatible.
Since it was only a couple of days old from Orange shop I simply took it back to shop and played dumb, said I left it charging over night and now all I get is a white screen. At first they wanted to sent it off for repair and I kicked off because I didnt want to pay all that money for a faulty/repaired product, I kicked up a bit of stink in front of other potential customers and manager decided to give me full replacement.
Now I know that isnt honest but I meh I dont give a sh1t, Its not as if they would have had to pay for it, it would have simply got back to manufacturer.
If you have a new device and dont want to shell out a load of money or wait weeks/months just take it back and play dumb and if they refuse ask to speak to manager and kick off.
I PM'd you the details mate.
Same mistake here
Hi!
I know this is an old post, but this just happened to me today.
Just like you, i flashed a P1000 ROM to my P1010 galaxy tab.
The process went perfectly with no errors nor warnings in ODIN. When it tried to reboot, a black screen came up. The symptoms are the same you had. Black screen, no image of any kind, no possibility to put it in download nor recovery mode.
When i press the power button for about 5 seconds, backlight coms up, but still a black screen. When i let the power button go, the backlight goes out and the screen keeps black.
Could you please tell me how you solved this?
Thank you VERY much!

Try the same thing (Power +Volume down 5 seconds), but plug your tab to your PC before doing it and see if ODIN can pick it up. If odin can pick up your tab, flash the right ROM.
I think if black screen and then buttons lights up briefly when you touch, you somehow need to force it down first.
Try holding power button for at least 10 seconds to bring it down completely.
when it then doesn't response to touch, then do what yappoe said.
Hope your battery hasn't been drained by now.
I already tried both of the solutions you propose. I really appreciate that.
The screen keeps black, but the lights of the buttons doesn't turn on. Not even briefly.
I followed a guide that says i should tape the power button to keep the backlight on the entire night until the battery drains, so i can get out from an infinite loop. Then to plug the tab in the wall charger and the battery logo shoud appear. Then try to turn it on in download mode.
I did all that. Battery drained out, but at the moment of plugging the tab at the wall, it does not show the battery indicator. Screen is still black. No backlight, no nothing.
Do you think a JIG could work? any other ideas? it's kind of dead!
Sorry for my english and thanks again.
I don't know.. but you should assume it is still charging. Leave it for more than 4hr charging then try yappoe suggestion.
If all fails, then repair.
Next time only flash rom made for your device...

**Phone seems to have no power does nothing, pull battery same thing cant even get download flashing screen screen**
I bought my new Bell I9000M and loved it then started about rooting, purchased rom manager premium and download darky rom 9.5 thru it and installed it worked pretty good.
Now I upgraded to 10.2RE and ran it for about 2 weeks without problems then today I started playing with emulators. Played SNES all day then noticed N64 installed played zelda no problems then found a psx emulator.
This is when disaster struck. I went to play FFVII with the psx emulator and it would lock up then quit the program. So I thought if i just did a reboot it might work.
Apon rebooting I started getting Force Close on pretty much all apps.
I tried to just repeat the install procedure for 10.2RE with odin including to make sure the repartition option was checked and it would load up then say something about UID inconsistent so I retried about 3 times (seems like it wasn't actually repartitioning then installing the clean software).
Frustrated I rebooted my PC and redid the process clicking the repartition then like a F'n Tard only loaded the PIT and not the PDA!!!
So no power
recovery botton method not working
tried vol down+power, vol up+down+power, just power (all with battery pulls)
the thing doesnt blink, cherp, or squat
I think Im done but pleeeease someone have something for me to do I am not a noob in these kind of things but it just came down to not double checking before hitting start.
Do i have a $400 paper weight and need to save for a S2???

Sounds like you are gonna need to try and make a jig or grab one off ebay, if that fails then, you can always try a repair shop, if you are in the GTA I can recommend a place to you, they have a JTAG
Yeah I think its a JTAG repair at that point which involves a lot more hands on (search youtube - they have demos).

Well Im reading that I need to jtag.. Ive done this with satellite receivers before but my usb equipment is different then what all the youtube videos are showing.
From what I read I have a full/hard brick
I'm I wrong in that a jig will only fix a software brick (or does this classify as such) I can easily make the jig which i will attempt tomorrow but I just want to know if its worth my time as i read that a jig only works when u have a black screen with two little white boxes showing or something like that
Im in Edmonton, AB Canada can anyone help me out with a jtag? (If a jig is going to work then let me know to as Im waaay to tired right now!)
thanks for the help

So after much searching I have not found anyone in Edmonton who provides jtag flashing in town. If I was in Toronto I would be set.
Anyways since no one provides this service in Edmonton I feel like I should purchase the equipment and start providing this services.
Does anyone know what software and jtag I need to get and I reputable site to order off of?

Not that I have a fix, but that use to be a semi normal step about 10 mos ago installing firmwares, to do the pit by itself, I hardly would think that step caused your problem... I could me misguided. This is the first post I have read with this issue though...
There is a user on the east coast that was about to get one before I convinced him to try warranty first as they were still all under a year old. Which you might try too...
Brisk something was his handle. Check back in my posts late July maybe...

I was running leaked version of UCKF1 2.3.3 then I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281221&page=1 so tried to flash it. I got an error of failing to upgrade and phone couldn't boot up. Then I tried heimdall one click unbricker and it worked. Then I decided to flash to stock and after odin said PASS the phone just died. It can't turn on.. no boot screen no nothing. I can't see anything moving or lighting on the phone. please help me recover the phone
It won't respond to any combos like "vol up + vol down + USB" or any others..
Search for Adam Outler's "Am I bricked?" Thread. Help you figure out where you are.
Did you you use 3 button fix jf6? If ya did you hard bricked.
Thanks for replies.
I'm hard bricked and as I get it the only solution is JTAG which is quite expensive and I'll have to send my phone to someone
Isn't there any other solutions? please help me..
Check out the UnBrickableMOD in the DEV section if sending the phone somewhere is not an option. High skill is still required but it's a good alternative if you know someone who is skilled with soldering.
I don't want to open my phone myself so I guess I'll have to send it to someone anyway.. If I use JTAG will my data be saved?
Don't pay for Jtag. Pay for Unbrickable mod. Easier to do AND you are for ever free of hard brcks.

The Linux/Ubuntu part isn't hard. Go to Ubuntu site, downloads, option 3 which is the wubi installer. If you get the windows no disc error, just keep clicking continue until the installer starts.
Thanks all.. I knew from the start of the thread that I had it hard bricked coz I have flashed all of the roms out there and soft bricked many times and fixed, so I have some experience in this.
The part I don't understand is that after I tried to flash to stock it died after that.. quite odd.. I think I'll go for unbrickable after all.. but in Georgia, where I live it's gonna be a pain to find someone able to do this neatly..
Thanks for all your support..
You can send it to adam (one of the people that worked on that) or Connexion (mobiletechvideos.com) Cost you some though.
It may just be a black screen brick, not a hard brick. Pull the battery, wait 2 minutes, replace battery. Use a jig, let it stay plugged in about 30 seconds. Hook up to Odin and see if it lights a com box. If it does, you can flash stock. If it doesn't, time to send it off. Last I heard, jtag was only about $50. Shipping I don't know about.
Of course I had tried pulling the battery and all the stuff that can be done to maintain the phone.. shipping is +20$ for international and add it the cost of shipping from here to USA.. helluva sum.. it goes like 100$.. so I left off my phone in the local "Samsung" service center. I doubt they can even handle it but at least I won't have to pay if they can't.. if they can though it'll cost around 40$ as they said. So wish me luck I guess..
UPDATE!
Hey all.. I just got my captivate from the samsung service center and it's working quite well thanks for your effort
Hey everyone, Having an issue hoping for a solution on. My Sprint Galaxy Tab S2 wont boot at all, wont (atleast show) charging, Odin isnt picking it up, and Smartswitch is telling me its not connected to the pc either. I put my S/N into SS but it comes back saying wrong SN each time I try again. Technically I am within my 1 yr however, Ive rooted it also so bye bye warranty... Anyone that can throw me a bone? Id sure appreciate it!
I noticed my volume button is also sticking a bit but Im not sure its even part of the issue. The phone died (hard bricked?!?) during an update I believe. Im hoping I can recover the device especially because in the past Ive done the same with my Note 3 and Note 4 and have been able to locate the proper resources to recover with odin even when odin didnt see it at first. (Dunno I did it but I know it was some awesome advice from xda-devs that had obviously been there with past noobs. If theres anyone that could refresh my memory or hand me the news that I'll need to seek proper burial for this dead stick I sure would appreciate it regardless....
thanks all
:good:
Thanks
