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
First i rooted my device as xda wiki said,second i installed an arabic rom from the recovery mode, and it is installed succesfuly, and afterit roeboot, device not start, it seems dont have battery, no buttons work to wake up ths phone,,, any idea...????

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.

Hello,
My wife has somehow managed to get her galaxy mini stuck in a boot loop. USB debug was not enabled before this happened and I cannot see the phone with adb. I can get to download mode, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go from here?

Install kies in ur pc
Install odin for mini
Dwnload tass.ops
Check for working usb cable and port
Dwnld any stock firmware from samfirmwares.com
Extract its contents and place it anywhere in pc
Keep ur phone in download mode...power+centre+down buttons when phone is off
Connect to pc while running odin
If odin detects your device ( to check this, observe a yellow bar in COM1 AFTER connectin phone)
Click one package, select ops, select tar.md5(stock firmware)
Push start
Have some water take a potty break
When a blue colour in COM1 is shown with pass in it...THEN ONLY DISSCONNECT THE PHONE
THE ABOVE STEP IS VVVVERY IMPORTANT
Use ur phone like before
Happy flashing and good luck
A nice quick clean guide...I will put it in my blog with links..thanx mate

Thanks for the replies. I will try odin, im wondering if odin will work if I cannot see the phone with adb? It is currently stock everything as it was out of the box. The first thing I did was the factory reset but it diddnt help.

Did you wipe ./ reset on ICS? if so - probable brick..
Alternatively, Is your battery charged? tried alternate?
Can you get it into Download / Recovery mode... or are you getting nothing out of it at all..
1. Why did you think it was a good idea to pull the battery while doing something like this?
2. Wich kernel were you using?
3. Can you boot into Download mode?

Firstly why super super bricked, I never understand why super birck is even around either its bricked or not.
Anyway, where you running a ICS rom with the emmc bug kernel before factory wiping?
but if you pulled the battery before it had finished this could have also done it.
Try plugging the phone in to your computer and pressing the power button and using adb to try and connect to the device
that means its bricked ,,, like u asked me,,, reset on ICS/wipe..
tried alternate battery too,,didnt worked
everyone knows factory reset/wipe is dangerous on ICS even with CWM - this is more important to those who have no warranty on their Note. What I really don't understand is why do people still continue to wipe/reset if they knew the risk of bricking their device and then complain afterwards??

Why did you do that? This section is litterally filled with warnings in every corner.
NEVER EVER DO A FULLWIPE ON ICS KERNEL
Still if you are able to put device in download mode(Vol down+home+power) then flash stock GB ROM and then wipe cache and data
same problem here too
my phone doesnt go in download mode or in recovery mode.....
can somebody explain the problem and probable come out with a solution
Can you fast boot from adb?

Currently only solution is to send it for repairs or repartition to bypass the damaged section of the chip.

As simple as it can be... if the phone does not boot into download mode or into cwm... its a brick
If it enters cwm... you can try the pit file mode with a stock GB rom... or you could also try the repartition method with ADB (i did it by my self and it works, currently using that ex-bricked smartphone

yes speed mod is safe, so you can wipe in any safe kernel, but personaly i prefer wiping in Abyssnote kernel bec it is a GB kernel to be 100% in the safe side, and it doesn't take more than 10 sec to flash the abyys kernel zimage through mobile odin, before installing whatever, or wiping anything
but cwm. zip is not save
cwm from speedmod is
speedmod and flash cwm. zip is not
