[GUIDE] What to do if my phone doesn't turn on? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

I posted this thread because I couldn't find a similar one and I thought would be useful. I would keep adding on to this when I find new information.
Disclaimer: This list is NOT exhaustive and there might be other ways to unbrick your phone. Also, I cannot guarantee that these methods would work for you.
With android around for so long, there are many developers out there who are constantly trying to get "more" out of their devices. However, one constant problem about tweaking our devices is that we have a chance of "Bricking" it.
So the most common question is:
What do I do when I brick my phone?
Before we start, let me explain what is a brick, and when would a brick happen.
What is a brick?
Altering the operating system of your phone in a way that causes the mobile device to become unusable results in a bricked, or inoperable phone. Bricking of phone can be done by a Hacker and via one or more update.

Examples of an error when booting:
1. Phone doesn't turn on
2. Phone turns on, but stuck at the boot screen
3. Phone turns on, and shows this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Phone turns on, and shows recovery screen
5. Phone turns on, and shows download mode
6. There are other instances, but the general idea is: If your phone doesn't boot to the home screen, it's an error.
When will I encounter these errors with my phone?
You might encounter errors with your phone when you:
- Root
- Flash any rom without proper wipe
- Flash incompatible kernels
- Interrupt a flashing process
- the list goes on and on...
So now we come to the important part, how do I get my phone to boot up?
There are different solutions to each problem, so please diagnose the problem first, then read on.
If your phone is stuck in a boot loop (stuck at boot screen):
1. Wipe Data and Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Wipe Battery Stats
4. Reboot
**NOTE: If you didn't have CWM flashed, then just wipe data and cache via stock Samsung Recovery and try rebooting.
5. If the above doesn't work, flash a new rom.
If your phone can't get into recovery,
Try to go into download mode (holding Vol Down + Home + Power buttons).
Download mode looks like this:
If you could get into download mode, or you're already in download mode when you boot your phone, flash a stock rom through ODIN. The detailed guide can be found here:

A list of stock roms and downloads can be found here:

**Note: When you boot up your phone and it shows this screen, it's another form of download mode. All you have to do is to flash stock rom via ODIN, with the guide above this:
If you couldn't get into download mode or recovery mode, read on...
Let me warn you first, at this point, your phone is probably bricked.
So... What if my phone doesn't get into download/recovery mode?
1. Try doing a USB jig.
2. Try using RIFF JTAG.
USB Jig
To do this, you gotta have a device that looks like this:
You could buy one on eBay or Amazon, or simply go to the neighbourhood phone repair shop and borrow one. Or, you could lend one from someone near you, to find a list of people near you who have USB jig and are willing to lend, click here.
Alternatively, you could make a home-made one by following this guide:

**Note: The title states Galasy S II but it's proven to be working on our device too.

RIFF JTAG
Go to this website and follow instuctions:
http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/ri...-mini-gts5570i-unbrick-boot-repair-supported/
If all else fails, you can only send your phone to Samsung Repair, and remember: Play Dumb!
Don't mention anything about rooting, flashing, odin, etc. Don't say you dropped it in water either, your warranty doesn't cover accidental damage. Just tell them your phone suddenly became like that...
Special Cases:
Case #1
Your phone shows a black screen when you turn it on, but ODIN detects it. When you try flashing stock rom, it gets stuck at "setup connection...".
Solution: Your phone is bricked. Do a USB jig by following the method above. It might help you, but not 100%.
Case #2
Your phone shows a whitish screen, and ODIN detects it.
Solution: This is probably caused by a bad flash, or you flashed a rom that isn't intended for your phone. Just flash the correct stock rom via ODIN it would work (not for all cases).
If the above fails, you could reply to this post or PM me for help.

Yes they would be able to tell. Our devices have a bin counter that increases every time u flash a custom rom or something like that. However, some Service Centres wouldn't bother to check and then they would just change the motherboard for you.

Yes there is a way. Just flash stock rom via ODIN that would remove your CWM.

Play dumb and tell them you don't know anything about whatever they are saying. Usually they won't check they'll just ask you if you dropped it in water (say no to that your warranty doesn't cover accidental damage). If they really ask, just say u don't know whats a bin counter and u've been using stock rom all along lol. That's what I did once and it worked.

Hi Thanks for the article. My phone is in strange mode. It can enter into download mode but when I try to boot or try to enter in recovery mode it keeps on flashing samsung logo and does not proceed. The samsung logo just comes and goes and it keeps on. There is currently no way to go to home screen or go to recovery mode. Samsung service center people said motherboard is gone. I think if motherboard would have gone my phone would never enter into download mode. Can you help me?

If your phone start in downloading mode and ODIN detects it flash a stock rom trought Odin and it should work. In the first post you will find the guide for flashing stocks rom.

Well since you can get into download mode then use ODIN to flash stock rom again. Don't ever believe what the people at the service centre says...

Did your phone get stuck on bootscreen after installing stock-rom via odin? or after installing custom-rom via CWM recovery? or get stuck when you are installing stock-rom via odin (I mean you can't finish installing stock-rom via odin) ?
=================================================================
First Case =
If your phone get stuck on bootscreen after installing stock-rom via odin, please try to pull out your battery for about 15 minutes..
after 15 minutes, put your battery in and TURN ON your phone..
If it still get stuck on bootscreen, try to boot into recovery mode (by pressing power+home button)..
make FULL WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe chace + wipe dalvik chace)..
then reboot system now..
If it still get stuck, you can try to flash it AGAIN via ODIN..
========================================
Second Case =
If your phone get stuck on bootscreen after installing custom-rom via CWM recovery, please try to pull out your battery for about 15 minutes..
after 15 minutes, put your battery in and TURN ON your phone..
If it still get stuck on bootscreen, try to boot into recovery mode (by pressing power+home button)..
make FULL WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe chace + wipe dalvik chace)..
then reboot system now..
If it still get stuck, you can try to install your custom-rom AGAIN via CWM recovery..
boot into recovery and make FULL WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe chace + wipe dalvik chace)..
choose zip from sd card (make sure that you put the custom-rom file zip in sd-card directory /sdcard/here),
install and wait until finish and then reboot system now..
If you still get stuck, try to install your custom-rom AGAIN via CWM recovery, but IN THIS TIME you must make full wipe twice, BEFORE and AFTER installing custom-rom and then reboot system now..
- reboot into CWM recovery
- make full wipe
- choose zip from sd card
- wait until installing finish/complete
- make full wipe again
- reboot system now
========================================
Third Case =
If your phone get stuck when you are installing stock-rom via odin (I mean you can't finish installing stock-rom via odin),
please make sure that :
- your computer did not installed Samsung Kies application, I think it may interfere your installing stock-rom process, so please un-install it first..
- you have installed the right or true Samsung USB driver..
- your micro-usb cable is support for your phone
- your battery phone in 90%
- if your firmware doesn't in one package, make sure that you choose the right file, I mean :
- BOOT = APBOOT_XXX
- PHONE = MODEM_XXX
- PDA = CODE_XXX
- CSC = GTS5570_CSC_XXX
-and don't take off your USB cable untill the installation is complete, "PASS"
I think that's all, it just based on my experience..

i realy need your help with gt-s5570

Download the JM6 zip (in the development forum) and flash it via Odin. after the device has rebooted, if the previous apps havent been deleted, go into recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot again

Read my above post. Go into download mode (volume down + home + power) you'll still have the same image but the phone WILL be in download mode. Then flash your previous firmware and you're sorted.

You probably got that by messing with the kernel. Fund the zImage from the firmware, extract it with a .tar extractor then use something like heimdall to flash the kernel and it should work.

Hi. I'm looking for solution for my problem but nothing has helped me. I cannot restart mu GTab or put it in download mode. I always land into Android system recovery <3e>.
My problem: I cannot restart my GTab anymore. It started when I wanted to do a backup with ROM Manager. Unfortunately EURO TAB isn't supported yet. Then I want to find out whether nandroid backup is possible. From ROM manager I booted into recovery. But there isn't nandroid backup. And now I cannot boot GTab anymore. Every time I restart it brings me back to Android system recovery <3e>. I would be grateful for every solution.
Help please

Having the same problem too... anyone can help?
If you see Phone-!-Pc on the Tab screen it is the download mode.
You can reflash it using Odin, however, you will need to do full Rom flash. I had similar problem and solved it by replashing.
I followed the latest guide published in this forum and Roto-JME rom with reformatting of internal sd.

Hey guys,
I tried to manually update my tab to Gingerbread today via Odin, but it kept hanging on select partition (I discovered I used the wrong PIT for the firmware I was going to flash, but as I didn't select the firmware yet that shouldn't be a problem). At last I decided to quit Odin (which might have been stupid...) and try it again. Then it kept haning even earlier, so I tried to restart the device in download mode. However, whatever I try it keeps giving the Phone ! PC sign. If I try to just boot, if I try to go into recovery mode or if I try to go into download mode. I saw a lot of possible ways to solve the problem, but my PC doesn't recognize the tab anymore. If I connect it, it does give the "usb device connected" sound, but there is a popup which sais "USB Device not recognized. One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message". I already tried to reinstall the driver but it doesn't work. Also Odin and Heimdall don't detect any device.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? Maybe taking the battery out? (for which I have to buy a new triangle screwdriver, so I need to know if it could possibly work first. It takes some weeks to order such a thing I think...)
EDIT: I played around a bit with the drivers again, and suddenly both Heimdall and Odin recognized it. However Odin stopped recognizing it again. Then I pressed "read PIT" in Heimdall, which worked. After that the device started booting up to the Samsung logo animation and then powered off again. Now it doesn't do anything anymore, not even showing the Phone ! PC screen. I'll charge it overnight (maybe it's gone empty during the process), so I hope that helps.....
In some strange way, the phone works again..... So never mind my post above.

[Q] Phone, Exclamation Triangle, PC - No Download mode

I'm really sorry, I searched for solutions but didnt found one that fits my problem.
I'm a total newbie and ****ed up my phone in many ways. I started trying to install something it wasnt suposed to work on my phone (rom destinated to 9000 and stuff). I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000b (sold to latin amarica) and came from factory with android 2.2.
I'm now stuck with the black screen of death, no matter what I do I get this screen. It hapened after I tryied to install unsucessfully the original rom of the phone and odin presented me with an error.
Before I try any further I'd like your advices as how to procede regarding my 9000b. Pulling the battery out, putting it in again and holding either vol down or both volumes and either pluging the phone on usb or pressing power allways gives me the same result, the screen with phone exclamation triangle and pc.
So, before I buy a jig cable on ebay that will probably take 3 weeks to get here (Brasil) is there anything else I can try?
Please help me, I'm desperate and I dont want to take it to assistence, it would cost me much money and ruin all my courage in trying to use Roms.
Thanks alot and sorry for the bad english.
so did you have the 3 button combination before this happened ??
have you tried to charge the phone whilst powered off, then when the phone gets hot, try download mode then ? sometimes this works, as heat can help download mode work.
another thing that has worked for SOME people, is leaving the battery out for 10mins, doing the 3 button combo, and whilst holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery.
you could try these and see what happens,
And 3 weeks delivery for the JIG is a long time, couldnt you make one in less that 3 weeks.
If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed until you get your hands on a jig, simple as that. Just wait. Patience is a virtue.
Thanks in advance for the quick reply guys, I ordered the jig, estimated 20 days, usualy it takes the same amount from the central postal ofice to my home since they allways restrict packages from hong kong. I'm considering making one but I'm a total denial in eletronics.
I was able to get to download mode before this problem yes. I would just hold down vol and center key and then power. Now even when I plug it in to charge I get the screen with the exclamation.
Any more sugestions?
no other suggestions other than whats listed above
looks like you will have to wait for the JIG to arrive.
Loner-phone here you come lol
Then I have a couple of questions.
1) Since I plut it in directly on the power and still recive the same screen is the phone still charging? Or once the battery is over I'm ****ed up twice?
2) Is there any chance that the jig wont work or I in some way ****ed up my I-9000b permanently?
3) After I make/get a jig how should I procede? I heard about one-click odin, but apears that its for another model of phone, and since I got on all this trouble exactly for trying to do things to my phone that were suposed to be only for another model, I'm kind of lost.
Inputs?
Thank you all for already awnsering my questions.
1) the system is corrupted so the charging indicator will be too - thus leading to Phone ! PC image - this is the only image the phone can now produce
2) The 'JIG' has a 100% success rate - providing that the motherboard is not fried - which it isnt as it still shows an image
3) the jig is just a modified USB, just plug it into the phone whilst powered off and download mode will appear, and then you just attach your genuine USB cable and flash stock ROM thru ODIN.
azzledazzle Thank you very much for your patience, but since I`m a total newbie to all this, some of your awnsers I didnt understood fully, do you care explain me better?
Regarding question 1) The power indicator is corrupted, ok. But this means if my battery die out of usage it wont charge again or just that the indicator wont show that is charging but the battery actualy is charging?
and for question 3) Is ther any tutorial directed to I-9000 on how to use odin to flash a stock ROM ? like baby steps? After all that I'm even afraid to turn the phone on, so I would like to know exactly what to do. I`m cosindering asking someone with technical skills to help me on a home made jig.
oh im sorry, i get carried away sometimes.
1) i assume the battery will be charging yes. only the phone will not be able to show this due to the corruption.
2) when you have made / bought a JIG (link below) you ideally want to flash a Stock ROM, you can get this from samfirmware (link below) and also on this site is a tutorial on how to use ODIN, its fairly easy if you just read the instructions provided.

Its a miracle, somehow I managed to get into download mode. But I'm still a bit insecure
Here is the deal, I dowloaded a .tar file that alledgedly from my carrier and for my country. The tar is named JPA_JP3_JPA.
Inside the file there are cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zimage
But what should I put where on ODIN if I only have PIT PDA PHONE and CSC?
And how can I discover if I should use pit 512 or 803?
Should I consider a master clear setting?
the file you downloaded is a full firmware compressed into 1 .tar file.
so in odin load the .tar file into PDA section and THATS IT !!
DO NOT USE PIT WITH THIS FILE.
press start and enjoy
PS do a factory reset after the flash

Hello all!
I've got my hands on a GT-I9000 today.
It's got 2.3.3 Android on it.
Wanting to install CM7, I was first of all trying to root it.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I downloaded heimdall-frontend and the "Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery".
When I put my phone into DL Mode and connect it to my Mac, I can't write the image to it.
Heimdall is failing with "Failed to receive device info response!"
What do you ppl suggest me to do now?
Thanks,
F.

Indeed I now managed to get Windows XP PC.
one trouble still remains: after rooting the device remains in an infinite reboot loop!!!
It only stops when WiFi is disabled.
Any help bout this?
Or at least any means to get back to a factory ROM?
I got 2.3.3 before flashing...
Thanks!
Try to flash the nightly again, should solve the bootloop-issue.
Or you can wipe cache/dalvik cache, this helped me too.

i9001 bricked?

Hi guys, i gonna tell you about how my i9001 was stuck in a bootloop. Maybe you could help me. I'm sick of it.
Cause: I installed cm10 and cwm5 or 6 as recovery and upgrade my device using Ota Updater. When I restarted my i9001, it got stuck in a bootloop.
What my i9001 can display: It can access to rampdump mode and download mode. In case I try to turn on my i9001 or access to recovery mode the Samsung logo/word is shown twice and stops showing anything else. It often gets stuck showing the typical grey battery flat (with a loading stopped) and the black screen alternately. This is caused when I a disconnect the USB cable from my computer/laptop.
Attempts: i've tried everything except for the right solution. Lots of forum threads and nothing works for me. I've tried:
1.- Boot_loader for device boot.
2.- I've flashed an stock rom: XXKQP, and 2 more: BVKPC y XXKQ1. Each one are official.
3.- And then recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4 and -6.0.1.2.
4.- I've tried, then, flashing feamodrecovery 1.2.
5.- Nothing works for me.
I've been using Odin 4.43. AriesVE in OPS section and when flashing these roms: one package. For recovery packages: one package and pda (I tried these two options).
I can't reach at recovery mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Greetings!

If you get some errors, write them here...
If everything goes well, then it is not what im expecting (in that case problem is probably easier to solve)...

stepie22, thank you for your help. Nothing worked for me.
First link: another typical manual for installing a stock rom via Odin. During the process my device powered off. It was supposed to reboot. After the process ended, i disconnected it from PC and its screen showed a grey empty battery (with a loading in the middle) and word "Samsung" alternatively.
Second link: this was the solution for my first brick. Then, my device showed this yellow triangle. This second time is annoying me. I haven't found any solution to change, at least, the behaviour of my device.
Any other different solution? Thnks guys.

See this ... if that is the triangle, find that part on the wiki page.
Maybe your device got the eMMC Bug?
Normally your Device would be hardbricked if you "over" flashed.
If nothing works out try this:
Have a look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224029
Download CWM Recovery 6.0.2.8 ODIN Package and flash it in "Download Mode" the regular way (AriesVE.ops and onepackage).
Then maybe you are able to enter Recovery Mode again...
This might be not your problem, but you could give it a try:
Some people had issues with rebooting in recovery, so there is a fix in this post

[Q] GT-I9000: Boot screen freeze, no download mode, no access through ADB or Heimdall

Hey guys!
To keep it brief:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Problem: At startup, the boot logo shows up but nothing else happens.
Possible cause: Flashing "cm-10.1.3-galaxysmtd.zip" using CWM Recovery
Debugging results:
No access to recovery mode.
No access to download mode.
No access through ADB.
No access through Heimdall (heimdall detect -> ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.).
No access through Odin.
No different reaction after taking out battery for some time.
No effect of taking out SIM.
Outlook:
Debugging mode should still be turned on (Could help if the connection with the ADB worked).
Search for driver issues (Unlikely, because tried under Linux & Windows).
I hope you have some ideas left for me 'cause I'm at my wit's end.
Many thanks!

use jig to make your phone able to go to download mode.
Search for "Homemade USB Jig" in Google and make a jig using resisters. USB jig assure 100% success if there is not any hardware problem
Yes, jig- or you can buy one on ebay for ca 2€.
BTW, are you sure you have the i9000 and not one of sub-models? Did you check your imei no? If you've flashed i9000 on one of its variants, it is bricked, only service can revive it then. I suspect this, did you flash with succes any i9000 rom before this?
Another question: did you wipe 3x before flashing CM zip file?

IMEI check returns "Model: I9000 Galaxy S" (Sorry, but I'm not allowed to post outside links). I don't think it is a very special version although there might be differences to the american products.
You mean wipe data or wipe dalvik cache? No, I didn't. In fact, I just backed up the whole system using CWM and after that I flashed the ZIP from the internal SD-card.
It might be worth mentioning that this was my first "real" flash since I only rootet it a few months ago.

The point is, that flashing a ROM made for i9000 would cause bricking of any other device. There are about 20 sub-models of i9000 and they all look the same. Therefore it is good if you've checked your IMEI no.
It might be, that your i9000 is in bootloop because you haven't wiped. It is required to do so before flashing CyanogenMod: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Try this trick: remove your battery, keep the power button constantly pressed for 1min. Then while battery is still removed keep 3-buttons-combo pressed (power+home+volume down) and insert the battery while all buttons pressed (acrobacy or using mouth needed), maybe you can reach the download mode then?

I checked the IMEI on "imei dot info" but I couldn't see anything special.
If I ever get this thing back to work, I'll never miss that point again.

Pity it didin't work. I really hope it will work when you get your USB jig. It would be good if you quote my text and let know about the news.
If the jig inforces download mode on your phone, keep in mind that flashing a stock ROM should start quite soon, as the i9000 after some 30sec in download mode "gets sleepy" and often won't react if you're waiting long before the flashing starts. Then turn it off, prepare Odin and turn it on just short before you start to flash the ROM.
Once you retail download mode again, just follow my unbricking instructions in this topic:

Your phone is NOT bricked, a bricked phone is dead and you would see nothing on the screen,
it would remain black and you would not see the softkey leds light up either.
Have you tried going into Recovery Mode (not download mode)?
If you can get into into Recovery Mode select "factory reset" and
then select "reboot".
It should reboot normal more or less unless you formatted /system
before this happened.
Do you have stock recovery or twrp custom recovery?
If you had twrp installed it most likely means that you were also
rooted.
That means that you can flash a zip file custom rom if you have
one in your internal or external sdcard.
If you don't have a a zip file rom in internal or external sdcard then you will need to remove the
external sdcard and plug it into an adaptor which plugs into the computer so you can then copy
a zip file rom onto your external sdcard and replace it in your phone so you can flash the rom..
If you cannot boot into recovery then try removing the battery, wait 10 seconds and replace the
battery then hold down the home/power/volumeUP buttons all at the same time until you see tiny
blue text on the top left side of the screen.
Right before you see the blue writing you should also feel a little vibration from the phone.
If you can flash a zip file rom in twrp custom recovey make sure that you do a full and complete wipe including system, data,
cache, dalvik cache and last but not least do a factory reset before flashing or if you prefer restoring a nandroid backup..
If worst comes to worst and you don't have twrp recovery then you need to Odin flash twrp (the TAR version) before doing anything else.

Thanks for your response!
I have tried that however whenever I turn on my my phone it takes me to the screen that I mentioned above automatically. I will try to enter recovery mode using Android SDK / ADB on Windows.
Forgive my ignorance but I don't believe I had any recovery installed which I now realize was HUGE Mistake, However I do know that my phone was rooted since I rooted it myself.
I am curious about "If worst comes to worst and you don't have twrp recovery then you need to Odin flash twrp (the TAR version) before doing anything else."
I feel like that is part of the steps I need to take to resolve this issue. Any tutorial links on this would be greatly appreciated.!
Thank you so much although I messed this up I am somewhat tech Savvy and it feels great to have support from other like minded individuals =)

By any chance do you have Reactivation Lock: on?
If so that could be the cause of our issues.
I got stuck at this on my Note 3 once (with twrp custom recovery installed), turned out I had to flash the stock recovery before Odin restoring. Never figured out why it worked when download mode/Odin had not. Worth trying if you're completely out of ideas.

OK GUYS I AM EXCITED TO SHARE MY SOLUTION WITH YOU ALL!!
What I did is flash twrp recovery with ODIN but it didnt work... it kept saying Get PIT Partition in the ODIN LOG.
So I tried flashing twrp recovery once again but this time I added the SM-N910T PIT Partition file I found online. But what I did is unchecked the Re-partition tab in ODIN thiss si what DID The trick!
The phone was able to go past the ODIN process and stopped on "RESET" in ODIN. So My Note 4 then Reset into Download mode and then this is where I reset ODIN flashed the Stock recovery for T-Mobile Note 4.
It took about 3 to 5 minutes to complete and I finally got that sweet SUCCESS on ODIn.
My phone then restarted and Voila! I have my note 4 in working condition once again!
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AND I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT AS WELL.
