Hey guys I have an Indian Galaxy pop aka galaxy mini running 2.2.1 .
I wanted to flash CM7 on it so I first flashed the CWM recovery from tj_styles thread via odin .. it flashed successfully and the phone booted but now I can't get into recovery mode ...
Tried home + power, terminal emulator, qtadb .. it just gives a black screen or gets stuck on the Samsung screen...
Anyone knows what the problem is? Any help would be appreciated
Upgrade to GB first then flash cwm.
CWM only work in gingerbread..

Rom manager is not compatible with our device and you have hard bricked (broken bootloader) and now you must give to samsung service for repair.

Actually, ROM Manager is capable of bricking the Motherboard, and this situation is termed as "Hard Brick" ie, the phone is completely dead. You can't enter recovery/download mode or boot up.
So, only the Samsung Service guys can replace the motherboard in order for the phone to function properly.
On the other hand, if the bootloader is bricked, it is also a case of Hard brick, but some devices can recover from this stage, but no idea about Galaxy Mini. I guess only locked bootloader is dangerous more than unlocked bootloader, and Galaxy Mini's is unlocked. Normally every Samsung's bootloader is unlocked I guess.

Phone doesn't need motherboard replacement. It could be fixed with JTAG like RiffBox in any better service. I have RiffBox and several GT-S5570 phones were fixed with JTAG method.
It isn't simple but is possible. Phone should be disassembled, eight wires soldered to the motherboard and through JTAG access rewrite boot loader to the OneNAND memory. After resurrection finished, it's possible to switch phone to the download mode and continue flashing with Odin.
try install your stock rom via odin, and later install cmw, later of this you can flash what you wants, i recomend cmw touch updated
And what was the need of reviving a 1 year old thread
Want 10 posts then post something useful in current topics

See response in other thread:
If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...
What did you do to get your phone in this mode?! Give is some more info on what happened...
Thanks for your fast reply, please see the below details

Try removing the battery and charge cable for a while (at least 30 minutes or so). I've not heard this happened before... and try charging with another cable and/or with another charger (for instance a laptop or some other usb device)...

Never install mods, addons, ROMs, kernels or anything made for whole Another phone.
Yes, that's the problem. I'm very sorry to tell you but you just destroyed your phone's boot.img by installing wrong one. And the wrong boot.img wont let you do anything on your phone. There's no way you could enter to recovery or download mode or anything.
I have no idea about the JIG thing but when I hard bricked my phone, I took it to the reseller and got it fixed for free of charge
Is there a golden card method
Any idea if there is a golden card method to create an boot image to let the phone start again

Your phone is kind of dead now. You can't push a boot image to it 'cause computer doesn't recognize it properly. Bricked means your phone is just as useful as a brick. It wont turn on in any way and there's nothing else your phone would do.
The JIG costs only 2$ , if that doesn't get u into download mod then u can only revive ur phone with JTAG .

JIG on ebay...

My advice is go see if u can repair it for free (warranty) , if not u can try the JIG to get u into download mode so u can flash via Odin (there are a lot of clips about JIGs on youtube) , if all that doesn't work JTAG is ur only hope (also there are videos about it on youtube).

Better Soluction
It ocurred me and I go to Movistar Shop and I said that it doesn't boot and I don't know anything and they give me another one with the guarantee.
Try and if not try with JIG ,
me 2, think you installed the wrong rom on the wrong phone..MIUEI rom is not out for the GT I9001, when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)
As the partition layout and even the filesystem is totally different I think you wiped away your bootloader and maybe also radio firmware. If this is your actual situation, it is ver very VERY unlikely you will get your phone alive with a jig. Don't know the partition layout of a 9000 but even the hardware is completely different. Not nucb hope left, very sorry.

Hey guys, it's been a while!
Anyway, before I even got my I9000 I had everything sorted to install Darky's ROM and the Speedmod kernel. Some time between them working perfectly and now, I plugged the phone in to Kies and it has tried to update me to GB. SM and DR did not like this.
I managed to do a factory reset (or whatever it is in CWM), and that got the phone to boot, but it isn't pretty. I get the kind of graphical messing up that a dying GPU would render whilst booting the phone, it reboots 25% of the time I am using the music player, and I can NOT boot in to download or recovery any more. I already tried plugging it in to Kies in the hopes it could just wipe the phone over and start again, but it simply does not recognise it.
Likewise, I would look in to the files I need to just do the equivalent of a full format with Odin/ADB, but without download mode I don't think that would even work.
So, the question is; just what the **** am I supposed to do?
USB recovery jig.
can you get into your phone ??????????? I mean can you reach Settings ???? because I didnt read all your speech .
Search for "recovery.tar" and flash it with MOBILE Odin, this would give u cwm and flash a new rom in cwm or flash a stock rom with mobile Odin. Good luck

Phone is more or less functional, it's just that I can't get in to Recovery or Download. At all.

Mobile Odin? Interesting, will look in to it.
EDIT: This recovery.tar; should it be on my phone already or do I have to find one? Because Astro can't find jack **** on my phone.
EDIT2: Scratch that, found it. Trying to flash it using "Open File..." has just resulted in it being stuck at:
"Flashing...
Flashing Kernel..."
for the last 10 minutes...
Thanks for the replies so far guys!
solved it ???????????
Nope. Sorry, I have been editing that post rather than enter new posts (until someone else posts, of course).
EDIT: Still flashing...
Ok, it now won't boot at all (stuck at the Samsung splash load screen), BUT, importantly, I can get in to download mode and CWM recovery.
What do I download and do to entirely wipe the **** out of this phone and start again?
EDIT:
Fixed. Sorted. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.

i had installed rom manager,when i press "back up rom" my phone is totally dead,whatever i did,its wont power up,and cant enter download mode or recovery.i tried many solution from many blog,but no one work. Others suggested to go to service center,and replace the motherboard with a new one.
That just shocked me,i have no idea about that,why a small software could harm hardware.
the problem is rom manager flashes wrong recovery then forces mobile to go into recovery mode
now here comes the problem
you should either use a jig or use jtag fix your mobile

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

This might get you back your recovery. Flash this cwm.tar.md5 using odin. select the PDA option and select the .tar.md5 file you got now. Check if it restores your recovery and let me know.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..
