I have rooted my P1010 for about 3 months now and now and again it used to freeze and have a black screen but the key at the bottom would still be lit up. But now all of a sudden the tab will not turn on at all. I have left it on the charge over night but still no sign of it turning on. Does this mean its bricked? I just dont know why it done this all of a sudden.
Hm... Maybe you just need to force the shutdown(Power button+Vol- button) and turn on again(power button).

Can you boot into download mode?
If not then its likely screwed. Send it in for repair.

Bro, there is this unbrickable mod you still can do. As long as you don't fry any hardware, there is nothing you can do software-wise to really brick your device. You are owning a very special device. A true Lazarus. Don't give up.
But as TheATHEiST mention, you may want to try this, bro:
Plug it into computer, start odin and press Power + Volume down for at least 5 seconds. See if Odin can catch your device. If Odin still can catch it, then it is in download mode - with blank screen.

P.s. if you posted this in the Q&A section we could hv helped you a lot earlier.
I am currently running windows 7 so what would my best option be to do this?
Also now all of a sudden when I connect the tab through usb I can get it into download mode for 1 second then it just flashes on and off on the boot screen. If I leave it for a while it will sometimes go into recovery mode but I cant seem to flash anything or factory reset.
EDIT: WE GOT IT FIXED GUYS!!! Thanks for your help guys. I just kept forcing it into recovery and factory resetting it until it rebooted. What do you think caused it to do that? Should I unroot it or flash a different rom? Or did that just happen by chance?

I was helping a wonderfully smart girl the past few days, and today she bricked herself, i wasnt available to help her but she was able to FIX HERSELF! Smart girl had a good teacher!
short story:
flashing with odin in download mode
seemed to freeze at (sorry) something like "setup connections"
restart odin and phone....
PHONE BRICK SCREEN
Heres the snag:
She swears up and down, Odin3 1.7 recognized the phone (turned yellow in box) AND FLASHED back to stock WHILE BRICK SCREEN WAS SHOWING... (didnt get into download mode)
she has flashed several times with odin and knows "download mode" screen.
ive never heard of this so thought i would post. see if any other brickers can do it..
My one and only thought on how this might be possible sometimes is dependant on how and at what part of the process she bricked first... but maybe we've overlooked something basic all this time...
let the denial begin....

I have that instances before when I was still learning to flash, a computer and a phone screen. All I have done was remove the battery put the battery back with cover, hold volume rocker both the up and down but dont press the power button then plug usb cable on your phone (cable must be already attached to pc) when you see the yellow triangle and the shovel guy (aka download mode) remove usb from phone then run odin once running connect your phone via usb again it should detect your phone. then hit start after it finishes and reboots you may a do master clear with usb debugging on in settings. I don't know if this will work for you as this has work with mine.
(note: odin will not detect your phone if it is running and at the same time you perform download mode with your phone in my part this is the process where I brick my phone) following the right steps is very crucial in flashing roms specialy when new to the process.
I am not freaking out as i havent tried jig to unbrick it yet...
but may be becoz of my build number and i lost 3 button combo when i used odin one clcik earlier...i am not lucky enough

Thank you for confirming this MAY be possible in some situations...
thats what i was looking for...
now she was flashing 2.1 rogers over 2.2 rogers when it bricked.. then successfully flashed 2.1 rogers while bricked. so rogers software may have a part, or its build #. her phone came 2.2 loaded...
i need to find out what build # her phone is.. it came packaged with 2.2

Yeah i know, another jackass that is stupid and creates another thread for this. I have had experiance with my phone going with odin and all that good stuff, so i thought i could do the same to my co-workers phone. But he didnt have the 3 button combo working so i just used adb. I got into download started odin got stuck on file anyalisis so i unplugged it... jackass mistake. even after reading all the people that say dont. so now when i power it on its just phone ! computer. NO ATT screen. so are the bootloaders fried? i doubt that cause it still powers on. No button combo will work with usb. (vol up/down -usb, vol up/down/power/ -usb) none. i have tried everything. just goes to phone ! comp. Do i really have to tell him to wait for a jig? And will a jig fix it??? Thats what i am mostly worried about. i dont wanna pay for JTAG. Thanks guys
yup a jig will work. as long as it lights up its not completely fuxxored. could also build a ghetto rigged jig from radioshack and a microUSB end too if ya'll dont wanna wait

You could also try the one click unbrick I have not used it but it may work for you. The phone is not hard bricked which would need to then be jtagged, it is only soft bricked
One click unbrick? Where? Do you mean one click Odin to go to stock? Cause that wont work unless in download mode

i dunno if it will work but try this: take the battery out, put it back in, plug the phone into ur pc, when the phone /!\ comp screen comes up, hold vol down + vol up + power, wait till the second time the /!\ disappears then release only the power button, you should now be in download mode

I would post in the one click unbrick thread that is still very new and should fix your situation. Adam is working pretty hard to make that compatable, and universal. Make sure you give as much info as possible about the OS platform you are trying to run it on.

As mentioned, a JIG will save you or possible the one click unbrick tool. It sounds like you don't have the Heimdall driver installed correctly as well. Good luck!
Alright so a jig will work. But I don't want to drive into town if one click will work. When I try the resolution center to install drivers Samsung composite device isn't listed so I can't. I have my captivate can I just use that to install the drivers then switch em? I thought I already had the drivers installed cause I connect mine all the time.

Alright so I got a jig and its bow in download mode. But Odin just sits at "set pit file" "do not turn off target " no status bar on the cappy either ...... now what? Its on 2.2 I want it back to stock and so I can put root and cyanogen on it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
this has happened to me quite a few times, try opening odin BEFORE you plug in your cappy in download mode
Hahahaha oh my gosh after I got it into download mode I couldn't get Odin to recognize. But that's because even though adb cmd was exited. It was still in the background process. Therefore blocking Odin. I did it! With your guys help. Thanks guys. Oh and Josh I bought one of your jigs from mobile tech videos. just to help out.

Hello guys.
I flashed the galaxy S on Odin with no files attached.
Now the phone will not respond at all. I have tried everything but, there is no lights or reaction as ever. Is this fixable?
I have ordered a JIG but i doent have to much expectations.
Regards Morten
It doesn't even turn on? Try taking the battery out for a few minutes.
Yes thats correct. It happend after flash.
Starting to think if the battery stopped working.
There is no sign of life at all.
The battery was fully charged.
Have tried your suggestion. With no luck.
Edit: Hmm, i have tested the battery now and it shows 4 volt between + and -.
So that shouldnt be the problem.

Yes I know it was stupid. I had a PIT file connected.
And didnt know what i was doing. I couldnt dream of
the program would flash over bootloader.
But i learned and have to pay the price for it.
You can fix it with usb Jig or there is a tutorial for Captive that you can use on your phone and put it in download mode. I think for that you jave to install linux, hemindail and java. Also, you will need to install android sdk for adb reboot recovery command Search the forum, the fix is already there

Take out battery and hold 3 button combo for download mode. Than insert battery and it should throw u to downloading.
How is it possible to flash nothing? Doesn't odin warn you if you got "nothing"?
Should be fixed in next ver.
Download Mode "bricked"
Hi,
My Download Mode is working (3 buttons function), but the Win7 isn`t recognizing as Odin...(I`ve already tried to resolve USB drivers troubles but I think that is not the right option...other Samsung Androids are working weel)
So I am not able to flash anything trough Odin...and the CWM 3.0 show me many "E: unknown moun/ storage"...it`s impossible to restore or install an update.zip for example.
What can I do?
Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:
The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

As I asked someone else too, how much do you think it would cost if I don't have the warranty papers right now? It still is in warranty though..
And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?
I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

A couple of days I bought an i9000 off ebay, it came running eclare 2.1
I followed a guide to rooting it by installing a tar via heimdall, however this soft bricked it and when I turned it on it would just get stuck on the samsung logo. My phone seemed to suffer from the 3 button bug and therefore I had to get a jig for it which I received this morning.
I then tried to fix it by using this guide: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ot-cwm-and-cyanogen-install-help/#entry356900
Bassically I used odin to install the EU samsung firmware, odin said everything went fine and it all passed, however I can no longer turn my phone on.
Screen stays blank, I tried putting batery in, jig in and connecting it to my pc to see if it was just the screen that wasnt responding but still nothing in odin.
Someone please tell me I havent bricked my phone 2 days after getting it.
First of all, can you ask enter download mode?
Secondly, are you are that it is a I9000 and not one of the variants?

Yea, nothing happens when I press the power button/use the jig.
And this is 100% a software/firmware issue as it happened after flashing.
I have a feeling I disconnected it too soon, basically odin said it had passed and so i unplugged it but it just stayed on the download screen so I thought it might have gotten stuck and took the battery out. However i might have took the battery out while it was updating something, I dont know.
if you have completely bricked the phone you may have to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330491&highlight=usb+jig

Everything is stored on the mobo. However, I am not sure if it will be cheap.
you can pick them up for about £30 if you wait
I have a problem with my SGS 9000 too after I mistakely install firmware for Galaxy Tab. Now it's bricked and it lost download mode. On all actions (power button, entering download mode) I just feel very short and almost insensible vibration impulse. May be somebody had same problem?
P.S. Sorry for English, I'm russian))
