[Q] I9000 dead since flash

Hi,
I made a mistake in flashing PDA file of my i9000. The flash stopped after 19 seconds, it was too fast.
About my Galaxy S:
Power button : nothing happen
Download mode : nothing happen
Battery removed/inserted : nothing happen
To resume, whatever I do, screen keep staying black. Nothing display.
Is there anything I can do?
1. USB Jig with a 300K resistor : useless or not?
2. Send it to someone with a RIFF box : useless or not?
Thank you

Weird, usually the SGS is practically un-brickable. I've personally done it tons of flashing to it sometimes with catastrophic results but it always bounced back.
Try sticking ur charger in and let it sit like that for a while. Then try to start the phone. I really doubt bad flashing can fry it. If you get a boot-loop while the screen is blinking release the power button from the starting 3 button combo ( power+down+home) and it should enter download mode.

1. Are you able to charge the phone?? Yes or No
2. What PDA file did you flash? What were you trying to flash?
3. What all things you checked/unchecked in ODIN before pressing the start button to flash?
4. What FW were you on??

1. No way to charge phone
2. I choosed same file for PDA/Phone with i9000XXJVT rom
3. Re-partition/Auto Reboot/F.Reset time checked
Flash lock/Bootloader unchecked
4. FW was Android 2.1, basic one.
Screen stay empty whatever I do, no reaction from the phone.

Get a USB jig. It does wonders most of the time when you think your device is bricked.

USB JIG works fine every time

Re-partition was checked, but did you select a pit file?
If not, that's likely the issue.
USB jigs work great. I bought a couple pre-built ones from Hong Kong just in case I bugger something up.

Huh, was not aware of these USB jigs till this thread. Will definitely be buying one as I flash a new ROM each 3 or 4 days (addiction).

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.

ok thank you all

OK so try plugging the phone into computer and see if Odin recognizes the phone. I've had problems like that where you have no recovery or dl mode and that usually works for me. Try to turn your phone on before you plug it in. Hopefully this helps. Hit thanks if it does.

Well but you're right, just try it

Exactly happened to me I flashed hyperion8 and my phone is bricked how you described.
I phoned samsung today and told them my phone went off in the middle of a call and will no longer turn on(DO NOT MENTION FLASHING OR ROMs), tried different battery, tried pluging into charge, tried pluggin into computer, tried different charger, phone has never been dropped etc etc
They sending out packaging so can send to Samsung care, they guy said expect it to be returned 7-10 days later.
So happy days

Same here I bricked my phone ....don't remember exactly how gave it ssc didn't mention flashing and stuff and they are noob enough to fix phone for free so having warranty works in the advantage of flashing and all ......luckily my mini had two years warranty but it got over about a year ago and still mini is my main phone so cheer up and give it yo ssc

Does your phone still has a warranty?? If it still has a warranty, you can try to bring it up to the Samsung Service Centre..
By the way, excuse me, do you know what the differences of Download and Recovery mode is??
You said that "Only have response when i try to get it in recovery mode , (vol up + home + power) nothing appears on screen , but odin detects my mobile", what does it mean?
If you want to flash a stock-rom via Odin, just boot to download mode, not recovery mode..

samsung galaxy ace won't turn on after installing wrong custom rom!

idk where should I post, so I make same thread twice
well, looks like i'm totally f*cked up.
i have samsung galaxy ace (GT-S5830), but I've installed wrong custom rom. it is for GT-S5830i
here the rom goes : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408748
after I press reboot on CWM, it just not powered on anymore. I even test with power supply, when I press power, it does not react!
the other problem is, my volume down key somehow break, so i can't use download mode!
will USB JIG work? it is VERY HARD to search USB JTAG here.
well, if you want to say buy a new phone, i have bought new one.
i bought this ace only for approximately $15 ... so it is not the real problem. but i love this ace somehow ...

Usually if you install something not meant for your device, you basically hard-brick that device. If you have hard-bricked your phone, then you will not be able to go to Recovery Mode or Download Mode. In that case, you can try the guide by @SuperMini to force open Download Mode from odin. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
If that doesn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
