So as the thread title state, i flashed with one click odin for captivate my i9000m unlocked phone. But i'm not (well i am definately) dumb enough to just do it out of the blue. It started when i updated my jh2 to jp6/jpm through kies registry hack. then rooted then oclf. Everything worked fine until i started moving apps to sd. I rebooted and i only had a bootloop... Got into download mode, flashed 1000 firmwares, tried every combination, etc. Finally found out that my /sdcard was corrupted and couldn't properly flash a firmware since the filesystem wasn't efs anymore. So i seen the odin one click for captivate with the big MASTER CLEAR, which i though (i damn myself for thinking so...) it may return my partition to rfs and that i could easily flash another firmware then...
So now i am stuck with a "bricked" bell i9000m with the at&t logo booting in loop and can't access recovery or download mode (think the flash may have remapped the buttons?) and when i plug usb it turns off.
So, here are my 2 questions,
1- is there a way (other than jtag, can't afford one and not really good at this stuff) to change at least the boot logo/bootloader or unbrick it?
2- Would there be a way to send it back to samsung (would obviously not accept it as it is...) any chance to physically format everything on the chip?
Please, ANY help would be greatly appreciated
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
PS: sorry if it is not in the good section
1. JTAG is your best shot, and you don't have to get one yourself. Coz some shops got RIFFBOX for JTAG and now it do support I9000. Rumors said you MAY get into download mode if you try 3 button mode many many times...
2. You can TRY giving it into a samsung service centre and hope they can repair it for you. They seems to have some other way to write a bootloader through USB even when the original bootloaders are dead.
For the JTAG, anyone around quebec city (or may ship in canada?) Also, is the 3 mode button would be the same or switched for recovery? (if we can actually get in download mode in such state).
Thanks
On the website of RIFFBOX, I can only find one in Toronto
I have no idea about the 3 button trick also, some say it is same as I9000 one and some say it is Captivate one (Vol up, Vol down and power)
I did the same stupid mistake and I have to send the phone back to samsung for a board change...
Does samsung really accept bell gt i9000m which only reboot with a at&t logo (i think it definately void your warranty)? :S
I had almost the same problem. Flash JM8 first with 502 pit and reparition, then do JM6 without reparition and 802 pit.

Can't get it to detect with pc, it just bootloop all the time...
So you can't get it into download mode for odin?
no, no download mode, if i plug usb, it just shutdown...
samsung itself accept it
and say it is out of warranty and will charge 500 bucks for it
i got the unit replaced with other reason though
but seems service centre and repair centre are two things and repair centre can do tue same trick, but you will have to ask samsung for the address
someone suggested in another thread that if you jump two pins of the usb connector with a 5k resistor, it would boot it into download mode...........but it was only suggested, and no one has confirmed it. probably dangerous, but if your phone is being sent in anyways, might as well?

Do you mean (i'm still on the warranty) that since the phone is bricked, THEY say it is out of warranty and make me pay (500$, the price i paid for the phone) to have it repaired, or did you meant that IF i was not on the warranty anymore (i still have receipt, etc), then they would charge me?
And if i want it repaired, i should probably contact repair service directly or service center?
Also, as for the resistor part, would you have the thread somewhere? (post or pm?) would maybe also check a howto since i am not quite the resistor guy...
Thank you very much
whom ever you talked to at the store, they were just being some arses
in Tonronto you got to most Bell stores they will fix it or send it to the repair center under warranty as long as you have the receipt, from Bell or bell partners stores
if you do not have a receipt you will need to talk to samsung canada and get them to tell you their local authorized NON Bell repair center, then you can go there and have it fixed
and they will definitely not charge you $500, average cost is anything from Free, to $45, to $75 or more depending on what they need to repair if any hardware part at all

Hi, thank you for your answer, i didn't contacted the store i bought it from yet (lasource/thesource). So you say i could only walk in with the box, bricked galaxy and the receipt and they would send it for repair? (even if they check and see it boot with the at&t logo?) and if they only ask what is the problem, what could i say? it only reboot or should i precise it reboot with a at&t logo? (and if they ask me how it happened? :S) Just want to know what i should say and not to avoid voiding my warranty. (also, i should avoid bell center but lasource/thesource which is only a reseller should be ok?)
Thank you very much

In my case
As there's no repair centre in Hong Kong, I have to go to samsung directly
And Samsung Hong Kong is famous for terrible after service
They say it is my own problem and will not try any way to reflash even there's a way to do it as the warranty doesn't cover this problem.
The only choice they give me is to pay about 500USD to change the board.
That's what likely happen if you send it to Samsung...you might get your warranty voided as well...
Well, guess i will send it to samsung directly... (anyone know if they will honor the warranty even if it boot only with a at&t logo?) also, could someone please send/share the link where someone put a resistor on the cable to supposedly go directly in download mode?
Thank you very much

Im trying this but I jus tget to the revovery screen, i chose `FormatInternal`
didnt work
and if i restart phone it actually goes to galaxy s logo then just goes black
Bricked my SGS with Captivate ROM too.
Any joy with this problem, sackofnoise?
Following a failed official Kies update to Froyo, I too (stupidly) used the one click flash Odin not realising that it would brick my phone. Like you, I can't get into download or recovery mode - tried every key combination you can think of. Also plugging in a USB lead shuts the phone down in about 2 seconds and also even prevents charging.
Taking it back or sending it to a service centre is not an option. It boots to an AT&T screen and even boots up to android - although it's no use like this, because it will not allow me to recharge the battery because of the USB problem.
Any ideas please. Flashed stock and custom ROMS to phones for years but never been stuck like this before.

Get into download mode, THEN plug in USB. I had the same problem when I installed a tmobile vibrant kernel by accident.
EDIT: Well you sent your phone in. Let's all hope for the best.

Problem here is that there is no way to get into download mode. No combination of keys work - tried them all.
What's the usual procedure?do they ask for receipt of the phone as i bought the phone used? The phone seems completely bricked now?
If they accept it,what's the turn around times like?
Any responses appreciated
They need proof of purchase when i queried about a blue tint in my screen. Im assuming thats all they would need really.
Are you sure its bricked? Can you get into download mode? If so you can probably flash a ROM with ODIN.
I just use the serial number in the phone, never ask for anything else.
I fear for my note!!
When it booted yesterday it wouldn't go past the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen. I took the battery out and tried it a few times, same problem.
I eventually managed to get into recovery. I could navigate around but whenever I tried to do anything I seemed to get errors or be unable to access files. I tried reflashing the ROM (Cassies extralite v6) and it started but locked up.
I now can't get any response whatsoever from the phone. No display at all. I've tried a spare fully charged battery, I've tried plugging it in, nothing.
Is there hope? where should I go from here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tim.
Try connecting your charger(though you have a fully charged battery) and see if the display lights up.If it does try to get into DL mode and flash a rom
IF it doesnt light up try usb jig.It should probably get your phone into DL mode.If this also fails your last hope would a JTAG recovery
Thanks for the fast reply. I've tried plugging in the charger, still no response.
Can the usb jig work if I have no response at all from the phone. And could you link me to the JTAG recovery process for the note?

Jig is supposed to force your phone into DL mode when other methods fail.You can surely try it.AFAIK JTAG method involves disassembling your phone and it requires special hardware to establish communication with your phone and computer.It aslo requires soldering skills.
Now don get stressed on reading it.First try the jig method it will and must help you.Lets hope for best results.
I bought a jig on ebay (I know I could make one, but they're only $3 and I'll know its right). Can anyone confirm whether there is any possibility they jig can get my phone working if I am getting nothing at all from the phone as is. There is no sign of life, none at all. The fact that there are no LEDs means I can't even tell if its charging when plugged in.
Have many people had hardware failure on the note? Is it possible the ROMS corrupted and that has caused no response? Everywhere I google even bricked notes seem to have something come up on the screen.
Please help!
I had the same issue after updating my stock unrooted phone via Kies.. Phone died after samsung white letters and after that no lights no dl mode no recovery.. Didn't have a jig to try so I send it to service center they changed the board.. So if you can wait for the jig order it and try it out few bucks wasted if it don't work but I hope it will, but so GLÜCKLICHES mate

Thanks for the reply Braxos. Where did you send it back to? I'm in Australia but I bought the phone online from Hong Kong. Has anyone had experience sending stuff back to Samsung Hong Kong? Or am I better to try somewhere like the mobile tech video sites jtag brick repair service? (I'm not allowed to link to it)

Try with the jig like everyone says... and hope for the best to get you phone back on... But, if it doesn't work then try to contact the seller from Hong Kong to get help as we all have a international warranty. Best of luck
Hi,
My i9000 got hanged and started just rebooting always. i tried flashing my phone to a rom and thats it. after which the phone just ons showing the galaxy s gt-i9000 screen and switches off. neither am i able to get the download mode nor the restore mode which i used to get previously using the 3 button combinations
i gave it to service center .thy said the motherboard is gone and asks me to pay nearly the price of a new phone. can any one advice. is my phone really dead and nothing cant be done about this
Well if the motherboard is the problem there's nothing that you can do.You can still search for a I9000 second hand with problems(broken display or something) and replace the motherboard .Is much cheaper than buying a new motherboard!

Hey everyone, Having an issue hoping for a solution on. My Sprint Galaxy Tab S2 wont boot at all, wont (atleast show) charging, Odin isnt picking it up, and Smartswitch is telling me its not connected to the pc either. I put my S/N into SS but it comes back saying wrong SN each time I try again. Technically I am within my 1 yr however, Ive rooted it also so bye bye warranty... Anyone that can throw me a bone? Id sure appreciate it!
I noticed my volume button is also sticking a bit but Im not sure its even part of the issue. The phone died (hard bricked?!?) during an update I believe. Im hoping I can recover the device especially because in the past Ive done the same with my Note 3 and Note 4 and have been able to locate the proper resources to recover with odin even when odin didnt see it at first. (Dunno I did it but I know it was some awesome advice from xda-devs that had obviously been there with past noobs. If theres anyone that could refresh my memory or hand me the news that I'll need to seek proper burial for this dead stick I sure would appreciate it regardless....
thanks all
:good:
Thanks
