I am wrong flashing firmware I9000 to phone galaxy sl I9003, and then my phone is dead...couldn't boot again.
i also try using homemade JIG, but not happen anything...download mode couldn't show up.....
please help me?
Samsung Service Centre.
you have flashed i9000 bootloader i think, the phone cannot be fixed with ODIN or a JIG.
take it in for repair, find a good excuse because you cannot blame KIES if there was no update. and they may want to know how this happened on such a new phone
i am already come to samsung center, samsung just offering change board of my phone without another solution...
take it !!!
get the new phone and get the **** out of there before the probe you for answers.
and be careful next time such a new phone, dont break it again
Good to you they didnt dig deeper...

:crying:i bricked my Samsung Galaxy ace plus.Please help.
Hey Guys!!!
I have bricked my Samsung Galaxy ace plus (GT7500). I was flashing this custom Atomic ROM.
First I did it successfully. The interface came where it demanded for my google account then i put in the information of my google account. The screen went blank.
Then i restarted it.but it got stuck into samsung boot logo. I even can't go through my download mode or clockwordmod.
so, was not able to use ODIN.
First ODIN Failed in flashing my ROM. then i got pissed off and switched off my mobile.
After sometime when i tried to start it. it went dead. it is even not starting. It is not even getting charged.
I know it is now bricked. Please tell me how to unbrick it.
Please help me.....

Sorry, any of us can help you in this. I guess you can still take your mobile to warranty, since it didn't passed a year yet.
Press the Thamks button if helped.
I did this several times. but didn't got any success.
How about using jig?? if i didnt get success will jig do any harm to my mobile.
or may be i should go to the samsung center and get it done by them.
Anyways thanks for the prompt reply.

if you don't know exactyl how to do use jig, I wouldn't do it, since you may loose your warranty again. I sent my bricked Galaxy Ace that didn't boot to Samsung, and they didn't notice I installed a custom rom in it, so maybe you should try.
I've found a thread like yours, maybe the solutions there will help you

Well i gave it to the samsung service center. They haven't repaired yet. but they told me that we are completely changing the motherboard which was totally damaged.
Can they find out now that i have rooted my ace plus, after changing the motherboard?? Hope they wont find it......
I am a bit worried about this.

Naa... They don't!!! Once the phone went off(bricked) no one would be able to find what happened before. But even if they enquire about it, behave as if U R a NOOB to all this. This's all what U need 2 do!!
Be cool & have patience!!
EDIT: Also, motherboard is not damaged in most(~all) cases. It can easily be cured by Riff Jtag box.

[Q]Galaxy Ace Hard Brick by flashing s5830i ROM on s5830.
so my Questions are:
- Will Jig USB work on it?
- what will Samsung Service Center cost/charge?? As mobile was import from other country & its warranty ended 3 months ago also.
- A shop does offer JTag service & its listed on http://www.jtagbox.com/category/jtag-dealers/ how much should i pay them for it??
How it got Bricked?
- by mistake flashed s5830i ROM Retribution beta 4 on s5830
- when selected Restart after Installation Completed, cell phone never turned back On again.
thanks waiting for your responses
I did the same thing to my first phone...flashing a rom while i was tried..didnt see the i...duh.. luckily I got a replacement for free from koodo cause i was within 14 days. Not sure if it can be fixed by the service center or the cost but it is definitely hard bricked. Sorry.
Sadly to say, it is hard brick. I did the same on my phone once, flashed with S5830i and that was it, i tried Odin method, jib USB but it never even turned on. Luckily my warranty was still on course and the phone center never made it to turn on again, so they replaced the motherboard for a new one and it worked. I never tried the riff jtag but i've heard is the only method to bring a phone to life after hard brick. Good luck
If your phone is still in warranty and it does not turn on at all
Just go to service center act all nooby and tell them I was using the phone and suddenly it switched off and did not switch on again
They will never be able to figure out it was rooted or anything

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:

i know that could be the way to back my phone to life, but just wondering, what the servicing guys would be going to do, which i cannot do.
They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

I don't think being in-warranty would have made any difference, it would have been void anyway

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

Do you have recovery mode?
I bought the Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 around early January from Ad Dammam, Saudi Arabia it came with GB 2.3 after than I came back to India phone was working fine, after 9-10 days phone flashed the message that software update is available(without any info regarding the version of the update).
I updated the phone with that prompt.... After the whole update process screen displayed that phone update is complete and reboot the phone which i did Since then phone is dead, displaying nothing :crying:
I tried every solution on google but phone is not going into any mode "downloading" or "recovery" however for the first time when it all happened i tried to connect it to laptop and punched the combination of keys into phone the laptop for a while recognized and installed the drivers for the same but it didnt come up as a drive or anything, Now it is not even recognizing the phone connected. :crying:

Agreed with Shaan... try another shop then...
but I still don't get it.. how can a software update "kill" your phone..?
When I was on GB, I got a software update and by mistake I tapped on "Install"... ( I didn't want to install because I was using custom kernel)... so after the update downloaded.. it went to Recovery or something to install but it couldn't.. my phone showed me an "Broken Android" logo or something and turned off... After turning it on everything was OK (fortunately)...

If the ota killed ur phone they will not charge u anything for the repair, search for official Samsung service centre. If I were u, I would try to open odin with the jb tar, connect the phone without the battery and while pressing vol(-) + power + home, as soon as it recognize the device press start to flash
