Help pls: My fone doesnt open after firmware upgrade

Pls can anyone help me im sooooo desperate. i just upgraded my fone via kies but after upgrade my fone is now blank, i cant use it anymore. pls hell. did i brick my fone??? can i bring it to life again??

You should try to reinstall the stock firmware. First see if you can get into download mode. Two ways, while your phone is off, hold down volume, the home button, and power button together till you get a yellow sign that has a digging android. If that don't work, other way is to take battery out, hold down volume, home button, and power together and reinsert the battery. Once you get to that stage, use Odin to reinstall your firmware.

shud all my apps be restored?? or back to square 1?

Well seeing as though you updated via kies, all your apps are deleted. I would just start fresh and back to stock. After that I would install a custom rom from the forums here, in my opinion, these rom makers do a great job making Roms that will make your phone be a phone and more

I wouldn't really say you bricked your phone. If you can get into download mode you are clear and your phone can come back to life. Just so you know.

i tried doing the download mode but i cant get to that

Two choices return phone to Samsung saying broke under Kies update .
Or use recovery jig and flash stock firmware this is an unofficial method that will invalidate your warranty .

i got the yellow digging but my fone is not connected to my pc. i turned it off again. so should i connect my fone via usb to my pc? then press again the 3 bttons?

Sorry went to bed, just woke up. Anyways download the stock firmware for your phone. Make sure you download the right one. Meaning if you have the i9000M, download i9000M, or if you have i9000T, download i9000T. If you check behind your battery you'll.find your model. I don't think it really matters, I mean your just gonna flash another rom once your phone is back to life for sure. ;-)

GalaxyS rebooting in loop and no download mode!

Hi,
I have flashed my GalaxyS with the hardcore kernel. (I rebooted in download mode with "adb reboot download" bacause the 3 key combination didn't work for me).
Now the device is rebooting endlessly with the boot screen "GalaxyS".
I can't access download mode now.
How can I fix this issue?

Hm okay - lets think... you didn't get in Download-Mode before... Now you have a bootloop (what FW do you were on? What Speedmod Version did you flash? etc...) - why should you get in Download-Mode now...
Can you go in Recovery?
If so then you can use "adb reboot download" another time

Hi , if you cannot access download mode through adb or the three button combo you will have to make or buy a USB jig to force download mode (search xda or Google or eBay) then next step is install stock firmware .

Only reflashing can help.... I had this problem too

1.The combination button must follow corect order [Vol up (or down) + Home + Power]
2.Try to remove battery and put it back, then go to Download mode.
That is my experience..good luck, my friend

First thing you do before anything else is making sure you have 3buttoncombination. Which you didnt or else you wouldnt have been in this mess.

plz help

probably bricked note, what to do?

had stock rom 4.04 XXLRB, than i wanted to root using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
here i saw this :
Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1810954 and i clicked on last link and via Odin installed CF Root kernel CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRQ-v5.6-CWM5.zip , i done that and later install TriangleAway v1.95.
Than wanted to install ROM LiquidSmooth » JellyBean RC 3 » 29th Sept, and i wanted to do via CWM mode, and all goes good untill i saw on display : Erasing the system.....i wasnt near phone 1 minutes and display was black/turned off. I aited some 20 minutes, and nothing. Than i decided to try to turn on, nothing, dead. I leave battery out for some time, put back battery....nothing happened. PC cant see phone via USB.
I guess this is hard bricked phone or maybe not. I googled for solution, nothing. Maybe someone have expirience how to fix this?

Press vol down, power house 20 seconds, Vol up later. Connect your phone to your computer and see if the phone detects PCOdin.
If it detects three file upload stock ROM GB.

tried all that, nothing happened. Battery is charging when i connect charger, i can feel phone is hot.
still dead

PC Odin does not see your phone? And the computer when connected to the phone seems a sound?

odin cant see my phone, no sound when connecting phone to PC via USB

You probably do not have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer.
Download Kies network and install the drivers off Kies. Start Odin and try again later steps in my first message. Do not worry about the black phone screen. It is important that Odin saw the phone

he installed cf root kernel via Odin so drivers should be there right?

[Q] SGH-I897 soft bricked?

hey guys, i believe i acquired a soft bricked galaxy s last night. from what the girl told me, it had been rooted, custom rom installed, and im guessing a kernel aswell.it gets past the "world phone" screen then gets stuck at the glowing android coming out of the ground. Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?

What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?

Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

Beauty! So that should wake it up. And from there I can reboot, find out what is it has then flash a new ROM after making sure recovery works and whatnot?

After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).

Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today

well i built a jig using the three resistors from radioshack and a micro usb cable i found laying around. doesnt appear to be working...

ok, so i needed an actual samsung cord......plugged it into my computer and it started charging

[Q] HELP!! Captivate Stuck on AT&T Boot Screen After ClockWorkMod Install

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\

It should only take a few seconds.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
