[Q] Black screen of death and pc wont recognize - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I got this problem, when i was flashing my SGS back to stock and it lost the connection with the PC for about a half a second and that screwed everything up.
I now have a SGS which has "Black screen of death" when I try to turn it on or start in recovery mode, but the Download mode works but my PC only showes a "USB Not recognized" message and it dosent show up in ODIN.
Had no trouble with this before the flashing went wrong, so I think the drivers are ok but I have installed new ones, and reinstalling kies many times but it dosent help.
Any of you guys who can help?
Searched google and this forum for it, and tried different things but none of the guide / hints I found worked.
Kind of really need my phone so I would really appriciate it if some of you could help me!

Try uninstalling the drivers un installing kies and i you for any reason have i tunes of have ever plugged a i phone into the computer than uninstall both the drivers for the i garbage and the i garbage program. Then put thevphone into dl mode andvplug it in and it will automaticly install new drivers and connect

[Q] Need the rigth USB driver

Hi all,
Have a kind of brick at the moment.
Whats working:
Download mode
Recovery e3
The device is booting up, but I did the wrong battery mod for this firmware so it just vibrats and turns on and of.
The PC doesn`t recognize the device, it just sometimes shows up an unkowm device.
I have found this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777872 and now I have some hope!
I have tried to pick the Kies Driver (16 Shrewsbury) and all the others from Kies and also the google drivers from the SDK. But none from the works.
Someone can point me to the rigth driver, plase
Fortunately I still have my G1
Sorry for my English.
If you have a black screen after booting then try resetting back to factory settings in recovery mode.
Thank you,
I wiped al i could in recovery e3.
The device is booting up, sound is coming, I see even the SGS logo, after No package was found that provides the FACTORY TESTKEYS
I guess it´s becaus I aplyed the wrong battery Mod for my firmware
If your phone can go in download mode try to reflash a rom with odin
I allways extract the latest kies install file to hdd and pick the latest drivers setup package out of it. I NEVER installed kies just to get some drivers

Bet this can't be fixed

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.

Brick or what?

Not really clear but if you can get into download mode and Odin recognizes phone then flash new firmware. But I suspect you are saying Odin isn't detecting the device.

Buy usb jig on ebay, put it in downlaod mode and reflash some stock kernel. It should do the trick.

if you were flashing an ics based rom you need nexus s driver's on the PC for Odin to see your phone as the stock Samsung one is no use now.

I`m in trouble
Hi guys.
I can`t make my windows 7 recognize the SGS...I`ve already tried the USB_samsung drivers, even for Nexus...but the error 43 always appears.
I can turn on the phone in CWM but anything can be done, always data problems...so I only can put it on Download Mode, but I can`t download anything, the Odin doesn`t have a Comm Port communication.
I was restoring for Factory Default when it happens...I was using the MyUltimate 1.3...after I flashed the ICS RC 4.2...and now anything works.
Sorry about my English...I`m Brazilian.
I really appreciate any kind of help.
picture of my problem
I forgot to post a picture of the CWM messages...it`s attached...thanks a lot

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S not booting + unrecognized

Good evening everyone,
Just a heads up that ANY input on this issue is appreciated, basically whats going on is I have the Galaxy S GT-I9000(international version) with Cyanogen Mod 7 installed and after rebooting my phone and clearing the cache I cannot get into the clockwork mod to recovery or clear caches or anything, however I CAN get into download mode but the device is unrecognized by the pc, ive tried anything imaginable to fix this.. changing computers, multiple drivers including the android sdk one but the phone refuses to boot past the gt-i9000 screen, as i said it can get into download mode but odin or hemidal suite do not recognize it and obviously kies does not as well.
any help in this situation is very much appreciated, the original issue was that it was stuck on the cyanogen mod loading screen but after restarting phone a few times it wouldnt even get past the gt-i9000 screen or into the clockword mod recovery, i think it may have to do with the actual hardware itself connecting to the pc, i seriously doubt its anything to do with software but anything i can try is very much appreciated.
ps i have tried multiple usb cords as well.
thanks in advance
andrew
Use jtag to put it in download mod
It is a driver issue , try the one from : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/
Yep, try Nexus drivers, they will probably work.

[Q] Boot loop without recovery and download mode

Hello everybody!
I've tried to find a solution, but without success.
Today I tried to install CWM on a french Galaxy S.
I've rooted the phone with z4root and after I started on download mod with adb.
Then with Odin3 I installed this file "Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.tar".
After that the phone rebooted automatically, unfortunately it's rebooting eachtime on the galaxy s logo.
The problem are that I can't boot on download mod or on CWM.
When the phone is off and I plug it on charger, it doesn't charge!
I think my phone is bricked.
Do you think you can help me or it's dead?
Is there a hard reboot procedure or something like that?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem!
Are you sure you can't enter recovery? Volume up+home+power.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Yes i'm 1000% sure!
I can acess the Download Mode, but Odin/Heimdall does not recognize the USB connection...
Keep Trying
I know this is weird but keep hard resetting it. Try like 20 more times before you give up. Worked for me in the past I know it is weird. I had just flashed a new factory ROM.
I swear i have tried to enter the Recovery 20-30 times!!
It's fine
Hello,
I've bought an USB JIG for my SGS GT i9100 and I've been able to install ICS SLIM using Odin v3 1.7.
Very easy...
I advise this solution..
Thanks for your help.

did u try vol down + home + power button to go to download mode? if it can do that, the problem is just find some driver to make odin recognize your phone. search for "usb driver for samsung galaxy s" in google
then you can bring back your phone to live by downloading any rom you want and flash it via odin
ps. but if you cannot go to download mode, JIG USB with 301 K ohm will help you look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Same problem here, I actually didn't see this in my search and made a new thread about it (feel free to delete). My computer had KIES on it so it had the drivers already and it's the same computer I went through the download mode before with so I have the drivers. I tried to reinstall them but still nothing.
I fear I may need to buy out my contract :crying:

I am sure that I am right with this. "If you root, do not use KIES" so you have to uninstall KIES and download separate USB driver.
Then it should see your phone when connect with ODIN
Hope you got your phone back alive soon
USB Connection

Did you checked usb drivers, if not try to connect another samsung android device to your pc first. if another phone connected properly then problem in your phone only.
i suggest check this thread, if you think you completely lost your device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I reinstalled the drivers I had actually uninstalled KIES and installed just the drivers.
I do have an update though but still can't get it to boot completely. Late last night I decided to try to get download mode to work one last time before passing out and pressing Vol-, Home and Power actually brought me to the recovery screen for the first time in my phone's life! "F YA!" was the only thing I could think at the time so I first went through and formatted/wiped every option I could find then installed the CM9 that I knew worked and now I get to the alien with the matrix-esque background and it stops there. I plugged it in and left it on that screen all night and that guy was still staring at me this morning. I tried download mode again but my computer still doesn't recognize it.
