basically i messed up the bootloaders now it does this (bear with me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkFsZK79XYQ
it only does this when plugged into the wall and it will not do anything if plugged into usb port on the pc, my guess now is the battery is so flat that it wont do a thing any more! i almost got it to run via odin on the pc but the battery drained so bad that it wont respond, i have left it plugged in for at least 6 hours with then just the same response just on and off on and off.
can i take the battery out and charge it via a separate charger to get some life into it to then flash the stock rom via odin?
any ideas would be great! i don't mind taking it apart but don't want to if i'm going to fry the battery i have all sorts of wall chargers, can i join the + and - from the wall charger to the correct wires on the battery for it to charge? i have a multimeter to test the batteries voltage. any suggestions?
[UPDATE 1 ] flashed overcome stock rom then pc wont connect to odin even in recovery mode, :recovery is stock: :rom is stock: from the overcome website, cant flash any rom via odin as it wotn connect, error message usb device not recognised' how to fix this issue? maybe update.zip via sdcard within stock recovery? which rom and for gt-p1000 united kingdom. i tried to reinstall samsung kies for the correct driver but still the same issue, cannot connect after flashing. i have been following this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 any help with connection would be great or flashing via recovery, almost unbricked but not quite.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet
Hello, I don't think that you have a dead battery. I think your rom has a defect cause your Tab would like to boot. Is it possible to go to recovery or to the download mode? Try to flash something. Does your Tab start this screen flash automaticly by plug on a PC od starts this only if you try to turn it on?
PS: It is possible to remove the battery but it is a little difficult. My suggestion: don't touch the Battery
will not go to download mode or recovery. no response when pushing power power button, all i get is the flashing screen with pc and mobile phone connection.
i left tab connected to the pc for one hour, the tab came on with the pc-phone connection image, i flashed overcome rom via odin with repartition which completed but when it went to reboot it has stayed turned off and wont come on at all even when pressing the power button, no download mode and no recovery, i will wait again for it to come on and try the stock rom, not sure if i've got the correct bootloaders or not.
any ideas?
Have you tried leaving it on the ac outlet? or car charger?
ok slight update. . .
i left it plugged into the pc after it passed the odin flash it then BOOTED i was like WWWAAAAAAHHHHOOOOO bouncing on my chair and feeling very happy indeed the battery is totally dead but is now charging in the wall switched off to get some life back into the battery im so pleased
next steps is to get the overcome rom to flash!

i tried for 6 hours to plug it directly into the wall but nothing worked.
Exact same thing happened to me on the Sprint Tab. Called Samsung and sent the unit in. They sent me a brand new unit the next week.
when plugged into my pc now i get an error message, ' usb device has not been recognised' im thinking its the drivers but not sure where to get them, i have searched.
i have updated the 1st post with more information on this issue.
Your tab was showing a secondary bootloader so if you mess up your primary bootloader with the bootloader patch it'll still be recoverable and as for getting overcome I would recommend upgrading to gingerbread which doesn't have protected bootloaders and flash kratos or Jupiter which are faster than the froyo based overcome rims ;-)

the only issue im having now is the fact that the pc wont recognise the android phone when in download mode.
the only message i get on the screen is 'usb device not recognised' i am then unable to flash a different rom or a stock rom via odin being gingerbread or froyo. thats why im asking if there is an update.zip file that i can flash from the recovery to make the usb mode work as it wont even work with debugging mode on or off and wont show via samsung kies or odin when the tab is booted.

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.
Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?
Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.
I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .
If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.
phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.
This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!
GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!
Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.
Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.
It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.
I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well
You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.
Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.
Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.
Well had a text back today to say my phone has been despatched, so here is hoping that its fixed.
It came back from the repair centre yesterday with a note saying a part had been replaced,
no costs for me, yippeeeeeeee.
Hi, i bought a used Galaxy i9000 from a friend and it had Froyo 2.2 installed on it, i rooted the phone with an app on the phone because i couldn't seem to get any response when i plugged it into the laptop via usb lead. The computer will not detect the phone at all it just does nothing when it's plugged in. It will charge from the usb cable and charger but will not do anything once plugged into the computer. I tried using rom manager to install a rom, the last thing on-screen on the phone was saying that it was flashing the kernel, then it rebooted and since then the phone just displays Galaxy i9000 or it will also display a small circular clock type icon in the middle of the black screen and it is a frozen icon. The phone will go into download mode and i have tried to flash it with odin but when in download mode and plugged into the computer, Odin does not detect it, i have tried at least 6 usb cables all tested on my other i9000 and work fine but with this other phone they do not respond. The only thing i can think of is maybe the usb micro port is broken/faulty, what do you think it could be? Any help would be appreciated because i have been trying for hours for the past two days and cannot seem to figure it out, i'm just hoping the phone isn't beyond being repaired. Thanks
Did you install the latest version of samsung drivers?
if not install them, then try to flash again using odin... do it multiple times until you get it right.
and by the way, going into download mode without your computer recognizing your device is a big big mistake... hope it'll work for you
here you can get the latest drivers:

Hi , r u able to resolve this issue .. now iam facing the same issue .. my phone boots to download mode but my pc doesn't detect it & i am unable to go to recovery mode.
Hi everyone,
I started to use custom roms about some months ago, and I'm facing my biggest problem right now, hope someone can help me.
I flashed my phone via TWRP Custom recovery with CM10.1 and one day, suddenly the pin (that little entering for the charger and usb cables) stopped working, so I couldn't charge my phone in any "normal" way, I started using a direct battery charger. But today I flashed my phone with another version of CM and forgot to wipe data/cache, so now it's stucked in the CM boot animation. Thing is, I can't even access to recovery mode to flash again because for some reason, everytime I turn my phone off, it turns on automatically. Without pressing any button, and it doesn't give me time to do the vol-/home/power combo. I can't use any direct cable alternative either for what I described above. So I was wondering if some of you had a similar problem and can give me a hand with this. I'd be very much appreciated it.
Many thanks and greetings from Perú!

Press recovery combos when your turning off, see if that works, you might just be holding power too long and it turns on again
No usb at all? If you can connect with adb, you can reboot to recovery that way.
Combo.

Use key combos mate... and after the phone vibrates, release only power button for avoiding the autorestart :fingers-crossed:
Hi, thanks all for your advices. I try em all but with no sucess. Though, something weird happened today. After the battery completely drained I tried charging it with the my regular charger, the cable to the wall one, and the phone vibrated, like it recognized it, but didn't turn on. Just vibrated. So I tried again using my micro USB to PC cable and the phone vibrated again when I plugged in to the USB port, but didn't turn on either, nor the PC recognized the device. Don't know if this is good or bad :S
If you have any more ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!

I'm trying this, but it keeps auto restarting. I'll describe what I'm doing, maybe there's something wrong:
1. Insert the battery.
2. Phone vibrates, I press Vol-/Home/Power and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini shows.
3. Keep pressing the combo and the phone turns off
4. Release the power button
5. Phone vibrates and again shows the Samsung logo and then the CM boot animation
Turn off again and same.
Thanks for the advice!
Hi again, I managed to get to "Odin Mode", the recovery that comes by default with the phone. Don't know why if I had TWRP installed. Does anyone know if it's gonna help me in some way? Remember I can't use a cable
Thanks!
How did you get into "Odin Mode"? Are you sure the cable is not working when the phone is in download mode?
Got into it by doing the button combo, tried several times and it was tricky but finally got it. And yeah I quickly connected to the computer (I have a Macbook but I also try on a PC) neither of them recognized it. Don't know what else to do
Try wireless adb.
When connected to computer:
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
As far as I know the phone should not vibrate everytime you put battery back. But if you're able to go into odin you should be able to go into recovery (unless volume up key is damaged). But... while in odin... you can go back to stock rom and that should solve lots of your problems mate.

Hi tys0n, thanks for your suggestion. I did a little research and found that to connect the phone on adb wirelessly I'd need a previously installed app. Do you know any other way to get it?

You also need a working rom.
If the usb connector on the phone is broken, you can buy another one for 4$ on ebay, but you'll need to solder it and it's a smd component with small pins, so it may be difficult.
You can also try to reboot your phone in safe mode:

Yeah, thats true. A working system is needed.
Just a question.. When you try to enter recovery (vol+/home/power), have you tried to keep pushing when it reboots?
Have you tried to connect usb in download mode (vol-/home/power) to see if Odin detects it?
Whiteout a being able to synch to your computer or accessing recovery mode youre not gonna be able to restore your phone. Your best bet is buying a new micro usb cable (they are inexpensive) and restore using Odin.

Yeah, I keep pushing the buttons combo and it reboots again, it won't start to boot CM, just displays de Samsung logo and reboots. About the second question, I've tried connecting the computer while in Odin mode but it won't recognize it, I haven't tried with Odin itself open because my primary computer is a Macbook and don't have a PC with the Odin installed near to me all the time. Do you think it could recognize the device, despite the fact the whole PC doesnt?

Oh, I see. You mention you could access odin mode, Im not familiar with it, but maybe it is possible that you could flash TWRP again, or CWR from the odin recovery? Also if you don't mind me asking, do you know how did the phone's pin got damaged?
I'm starting to thing you aint got a recovery at the moment. I've seen this type of thing before. Problem is, if you can't get odin to work you won't be able to solve it :/

I have no idea. I didn't fall or anything, it just stopped working one day. I thought it had to do with a "software" thing more than hardware, because I was using CM 10.1 and of course it wasn't official, it had bugs. I actually was trying to go back to CM10 to see if that was the problem but I got stuck here.
Hello everyone I am sure that there is a lot of this thread going.
But I think mine is even worse.
the problem:
I rooted the device, everything worked fine ( did it with card reader - because my pc can not recognize the device had the problem a long time ago, somehow it worked then, but does not now, giving me the code 10 and 43
I think my USB port on the SAMSUNG might be damaged, because it does recharge but wont connect at all, tried kies, tried all the debugging modes, drivers, turning off the computer, rebooting all that stuff..)
The main problem is I flashed the cwm, rebooted, worked fine, then I clicked the do Backup thing and from then I can only go to yellow "downloading" or samsung logo, cannot even use that "Odin" because my USB is apparently damaged.. Any Ideas at all other than taking the phone and throwing it into the dumpster?
it is gt-s5830
my system is Win7-64bit
any help will be deeply appreciated ...

3 decided to flash Touchwiz-Resurrected_ROM_V1.0.zip rom
4 followed all steps to flash thrrough CWM recovery
phone reebots samsung.com logo>> samsung boot animation shows up>>samsung name appears again keeps glowing and phone restarts!!!
after it I tried 6-7 different roms then i tried to flash through odin but wasnt able to do so but failed the device showed up in odin but wasnt able to flash stock rom
then i decided to go for Phil touch recovery I installed Philtouch recovery and tried to flash a custom rom now I'm stuck again at boot name GALAXY ACE s5830 nothing goes further!!!
I searched over XDA and some guy quoted this problem is solvable by using odin and putting phone in downloading mode (vol- button+home button + Power on ) I am able to put my phone in downloading mode, but when i conncet it to PC it says USB device not recognized WTF!!!!!???? 10 mins ago i connected my Phone using same cable same port same odin now this ***** appears ???
I swapped PC's, Cables, ports everything nothings working , phone wont start stuck @ boot logo pls help ASAP :crying:
That's it.. You have hard bricked your phone that's dead recovery and dead download mode. Give your phone the usb jigg service which will force it to go to either the download mode or the recovery mode whatever you want.
