HELP phone briked - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there i have a SGS which was running ics on a custom rom working fine
I then wanted to flash the official 2.3.6 os back on it for a friend.
I put the phone into download mode then odin did'nt do anything so i turned it off
now i can't see anything on the phone when i turn on the power key please can i do anything?

Check your drivers on your labtop and retry to put the GS in download mode

Try going in recovery system and do all three wipes...

I've got a better solution and with it your phone will never be bricked in the future.
But you can use it only if you are handyman.
Follow this thread :

and your phone will resurect and will be immortal ^^( manner of talk, if you drop it from the 51 floor of a building it will not survive).

lol i ll never try that...
u seriously doing it?? O.O
wish u luck though..

@drakester20 the utube video that you sent me went back to xda site and said it will only work if the bootloader is workin mine is'nt
and
that method you showed on disecting the phone might be my only option
just out of curiosity could i give it to samsung and will they detect that it has been rooted?
BTW i installed a I9100 flash file on to the odin when i did it which was samsung s2 flash file now i realise what went wrong
Me being a **** head and installing the wrong file.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

1-Remove battery, sim card and sd card
2-wait 3~4 minutes
3-put your charger on galaxy (i lost my charger, used the usb cable and worked)
4-Hold power, and at the same time (dont release power), put battery, press vol.down and home button (in this order)
5-keep holding the buttons for 5~10 seconds
your galaxy must be online again..
i'm sorry for my bad english, but i think its understandable ;p

It's easy you just have to make a bridge between two connectors (OMX5 and OMX0) and after you flash a software. If this manipulation can make my phone like a survivor i can do it ^^

Don't worry about that the GS2 has a counter who is incremented when u flash a non official software it's a trick that the constructor used to help the Samsung's technicians to know if you can use the guarantee or not but the GS1 isn't equipped of this system, then it doesn't matter.

so @drakester20 are u saying that i can give it samsung and they wont know and charge mer nothing?

yeah dude.. they wont know ur binary resets anyway.. if u had sgs2 then they could have figured it out in download mode coz there it is written in download mode..
u can give it a try though...

@drakester20 so what did u tell samsung when your phone got briked.
Just found found out that my phone still has warranty till the end of next moth.
What should I say to them?
Should i say i used samsung kies to update then a failure message came on my screen ?
What should i say as I am running out of time and my warranty is nearly about to go?

i had d same problem wen i flashed d firmware wrongly. it appears tat u ve bricked ur phone. hold vol down + home button + power button. if any picture comes like an android sweeping out d trash saying downloading. if so then visit samfirmware.com -> samsung android. then select galaxy s I9000. Then it will ask u to sign in. if u are a member then no problem or else register.
see ur country or region then download the firmware u were using. then download the odin and the required .PIT file. flash it. cool. ur phone is back to normal....
if it doesnt go to download mode.................... man u are in big problm get ur motherboard changed. it happened to me. i had to change my galaxy s motherboard.

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

I am wondering the same thing, mine got bricked about a week ago and I don't really know what to do with it

Hard bricked

So i've had a CM9 Beta 1 build on my phone, it was running like a charm past week, so while surfing around internet i've found a flashable zip that makes your status bar look like Jellybean (Specified it works with CM9 Beta 1!) and i've got stuck in recovery bootloop like the last time.
I've tried various way's, one of those was to reflash the ROM or flash a stock ROM from Odin, and it keeped getting stuck on stage VerifyPlatform...
So i've found a thread that fixes all of this mess with a .bat file for computer, and after using it my phone actually died.
I can't turn it on, it's all black..
I think i'm seriously lost...
I'm hoping for exact help that could fix it, not an maybe, i seriously need help! ;(

So far i did not pulled out battery for 15 minutes, so i'm not sure if this is normal, but the download mode combination does not work. :/

U don't even get that phone to pc disrupted like connection picture when u try to boot?
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
i9000 use hummingbird chip .. can use usb jig or if detect as sp5c110, can use unbrickable mod software to revive it (if not detect then have to do hw mod)
i9001 use different chip ie msm8255t .. try the button combination or usb jig to get into download mode. If it detect as qusb_load something then there might still have chance. If still nothing I'm afraid only jtag/riffbox can help.
I once bricked a Galaxy W i8150 (msm8255t) because of wrong bootloader flashed. Usb jig don't work. Had to use riffbox to revive it.
Yeah if jig doesn't work then u gotta replace the jtag

Hello, it's been a while. Thanks for all the feedback people.
I'm not trying to bump or anything, just saying that i've brought the phone to my carrier and played a little dumb game, lied and got it to be fixed. I hope to get good news soon.

Bricked phone ?!!

Hello everyone ! Two days ago I wanted to flash the stock firmware on my S6500D and the pc restarted when I was flashing the recovery.img I think..and now the phone shows only the Samsung logo ( but very very veeery low-quality resolution ) with some lines in right, how can I repair it..?
ye, it's a brick. I had the same problem when I bricked mine. At first it had corrupted graphics, after some minutes it didn't boot at all.
There's no way to reflash it..? Without replacing the motherboard , I mean..using the software side.

man, try do self jtag, watch on youtube videos etc, its simply and not expensive and it can repair your phone. if it cant help, just go to mobile center for new board

i read jtag also working on all galaxy family devices. try it, try.
I could give the device to a repair service ( GSMobile for me ) and they could repair it, but I don't want to give money for this device because the screen is also broken and I think in 2 months I'll buy a S3 Mini ( I love S3, belive me ) and if I find a way with a small amount of money to repair the phone I will do it ! But this jig..I also used some JIG for bricked PS3 but it's not the same way.. and I don't know a lot of things about making one for my phone, if you have a tutorial I will do it, but after I get the S3 Mini I'll surely repair this phone, I want to continue developing and searching and helping the other Mini2 owners, it is my first Android phone and it means very much to me.
JIG is only meant to force the phone into download mode. If the JIG works, your device is not hard bricked... Otherwise, I mean, if it is hard bricked, service center will take care of it. JTAG != JIG
I'll try to JIG tomorow , I'm using this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707 , TheWhisp, the recovery.img file wasn't flashed totally, I mean it was about 60%..but the boot.img / system.ext4 ( I Think it was like that ) / other files were flashed with succes.. maybe the JIG will do it for me !

I've tried the USBJig but the phone doesn't responds in any way, it still remains off..
This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.

I've tried all possible connections and sometimes the phones turns on ( I mean that the Samsung screen appears ) but sometimes nothing happen ( like when connecting PIN 4 to PIN 5 and this is the jig connection )

WRONG SECTION!
To be lazy it's NOT ALLOWED on XDA forums! FIRST READ RULES and then read the posts completely ten times and finally read it again!!! ...and if you understand them, you'll try any modifications
Are your device a available warranty yet? send it to the technical service
...if not, you can say goodbye to your phone

Bro, try to follow the guide. Just pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button is completely different from preparing your odin, removing battery, connecting phone to computer, inserting the battery and pressing Vol Down+ Power + Home button. This method can, in the best case scenario, force open Download Mode. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but something to gain. If this doesn't work, guide also provides details on USB Jig which is your last option. Hope I helped

@info2shail2010 had the similar problem but he was able to go to Download mode using that guide. Sadly since that didn't work for you, your only option will be USB Jig. If that doesn't work either then buy a new phone

No bro... i am not able to go to in download mode... i told you... i was using Vol up + power + home key... i was mistakenly thinking it was downloading mode because it was connecting in Odin..... but u told me that is not downloading mode ... that is RamDump mode..... so .. i also cant go to download mode by pressing Vol down + power + home key.... its dead and not responding.. ....
The USB Jig method is just working for softbricked (it can boot, but looping) phones but can't go to recovery or download mode. So, it's not working for hardbricked phone

Bro, but the above guide says the USB jig for Samsung devices force the device into download mode so you can flash firmware over Odin and restore it to working order. Are you sure about what you said?
