[Q] Samsung GT-i9000 (UK Version) wont power on after Odin flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so heres what happend I had CWM installed on my phone for whatever reason it stopped working so I put it in download mode and reinstalled in through odin still didn't work so I decided I'll just try and put CM9 on through Odin by the md5.tar. while it was processing it just stopped wasn't going anywhere so I closed Odin and unplugged the phone it was stuck in download mode so I pulled the battery. After pulling the battery the phone now does nothing at all no charging light no power no samsung logo or anything it seems like its just dead. the phone gets hot but doesnt do a single thing I tried the battery from my Samsung Glaxy SII because they are the same and it still does nothing but remains black I tried all trouble shooting steps as well and a Jig and still nothing. I don't know what to do at this point can anyone help?

[Q] How Can I Stop The Random Colours on Boot and No Download Mode?

Hi all,
Im facing a serious problem. Well not so serious that my phone doesnt work but its pretty bad.
I have an international i9000 which i purchased in the UAE. I accidently flashed the stupid AT&T Captivate ROM without checking up on it and it got stuck on the AT&T loop. I managed to get into download mode via the USB Jig (thanks guys for that you saved my ass with that jig) but now everytime i turn the phone on i get random pixels covering the screen like an old broken television before the samsung logo. after that it boots normally.
also, before i was able to access the download mode via the 3 button combo and the upgrade mode in the same way. since i screwed up with the at&t rom it doesnt work anymore.
is there any way i can fix these two things? bare in mind i have reinstalled many roms wiped all caches and sd cards and i am now running darkys rom with these problems still existing.
Please help!!
oh another symptom ive noticed
when i plug the charger cable in or the usb data cable in when the phone is off i dont get a battery sign for when the phone is charging!
anyone out there that faces the same problem?
any help please? im desperate its driving me crazy ><
its ok everyone!
and heres how to fix it!
flash it to 2.1 from the XWJG5 with all three parts in the rom (its on samfirmware)
and make sure in Odin you click
clear phone efs
and
update phone bootloader
and next thing you know ure three button combo is working ure funny colours are gone and you have the battery charging logo again! woooo!

[Q] No 3 Button Combo recovered from brick (Solved)

I bricked my phone a while back (SGS I9000 2.1) using firmware from samfirmware. It would get to the galaxy S startup screen then reboot (Stuck in that loop). i still had the 3BC at this point.
Being new to flashing using odin i downloaded Odin3 One-Click Downloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989) after i applied the fix i realised i do not have this phone. The phone was bricked couldnt get 3BC no conectivity with adb on my pc, the phone was stuck on an AT&T screen and im in the UK.
I built the Jig with the 301K resistor to get into download mode and it worked first time. After doing alot of research on how to flash the I9000 i flashed a random 2.1 firmware and it booted again.
The problem i have is i cannot enter recovery/download mode and when the phone boots it looks like artifacts pop up for a second then it boots to galaxy s screen (green and purple line across the screen, sometimes looks like a tv screen with no channels black and white fuzzy).
Also when the phone is off and i try charging nothing appears on the screen and it dosent turn on with the charger plugged in. Then as soon as i remove the charger it automaticlly turns on. I think this is causing the last issue, when my phone runs out of battery it dies completly and wont turn back on, somtimes if im lucky i can charge it for about 1 Hour, remove the charger and it will automaticlly turn on and quickly plug the charger back in when it boots its got 1% battery. so i dont think my phone charges when off.
I have tyied applying the 3BC fix for the I9000 but no luck it just bricked my phone had to use the Jig again to recover.
If anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem Please help me!!!
I am running Darky's ROM 9.3 Beta 3 with Voodoo 1.3b oc uv kernel 1280MHz
so the jig is working ???
Try to flash an old firmware, something like eclair with all 3 files and pit, then use pit and re-partition in odin and if that works, try to calibrate the battery.. if you have any luck then upgrade to something newer, maybe thru samfirmware.com or officially thru kies.
i hope you get it fixed
ps. have you tried another battery to make sure your current one isnt faulty ??
Thanks will try it now. I think the battery is fine I get an avarage of 24hr usage set CPU min 100 Max 1280.

Captivate is un-responsive

Hello All,
I have tried to update my captivate on gingerbread via this guide.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/
All is going well and odin was updating the firmware then suddenly my phone screen goes white and odin is stucked at the progress. After waiting 20 mins I uplugged the phone and after that my phone is not turning on nothing is happening and its seems like its dead. Any solution or help in this ?
Thanks in advance.
Imran
Make a jig using this guide. It's not exactly easy but it should get you into download mode again so that you can reflash the stock firmware and start over.
will this work ?
as some told me to buy this from http://usbjig.com/ but they stated on the website " As long as there is something on the screen, the jig should work for you. " and I contact that guy and he said me that it will not work for you as my phone is not giving any response.
if I understand this correctly, if your phone stopped responding while odin was flashing the bootloader files, your phone is likely dead in the water. If it is, then a jig will not help.
Just a question did you try pulling the battery, then try again. I was flashing kf1 one time and it said completed successfully but it was an all blank screen luckily it was dark and there was just 1 tiny pixel lit up still pulled battery inserted battery held vol+ and vol- inserted usb and odin detected.

Might be Bricked. NEED HELP!

Ok I did something stupid with my Galaxy S. I didn't pay attention to the firmware I was downloading i did a search for orange branded i9000 Firmware, and was downloaded from a site. Legit firmware and all. So I went to flash with odin like I have done lots of times. Came up fail, so I figured something happened during transfer, so restarted it back into download mode and reflashed again. FAIL again. Restarted and it would not turn back on. The unfortunate to all this is, the firmware after looking in horror at my galaxy s and looking back at the screen said I9100 above and I did not see that at all.
Sooo even with a USB jig this will not show a download menu, no recovery mode, no screen when plugged into charger. Anyone have any tips before I attempt the unbrickable mod?
post you question on darky rom forum they might b able to help
If even the Jig does not work i would try the unbricablemod. I dont't know an other solution to revive your phone than the UnbrickableMod if your phone doesn't boot into the Downloadmode with a Jig. So you have nothing to loose just try this Mod.(it could be your last hope to rescue the phone without sending the phone to Samsung) I didn't try it yet because i ever could revive my phone with the Jig but I've read some reports in a german forum and the users there are reporting that the Mod does rescue the phone even if the Jig doesn't boot your phone in Downloadmode.
You can find the unbricablemod i'm talking about here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 It's called "one click-unbrick". Just follow the given instructions and your phone schould work as before
Is your phone really bricked?
Is your phone bricked, or is it stuck at boot???
Normally, if a phone gets bricked, you see the screen of death: a phone logo and a computer logo, with an exclamation mark in between the two...
By the description, it looks like your phone is not able to boot, and is stuck at the screen, where it says: i9000
try putting it in downloading mode, and use odin to go back to stock firmware....
If you can't even turn on your phone, maybe your battery is flat after all that flashing

^^^ That may be the case, try to get another battery or chargning this batter outside the phone (wire to to a 5v source).
Sidenote: I think that download mode draws power from the usb (the phone will stay on even if the battery is removed [at-least mine does])
If the jig does not work then you probably flashed the bootloader or something...which is bad, in that case, unbrickable mod may be your only hope.
I revived it with just the software version of the unbrickable tool. Only have like 2 seconds to do it in linux when you connect the phone, but it put it into a white screen and I flashed with heimdall and I am back up and running. Thank you all!
so you flashed a stable ?
Yep I posted stable. It's weird because if your device shows up in windows some weird device you only have have a couple seconds in linux to make it flip into download, but its doable and I didn't have to hardware mod anything. Back to a perfectly working Galaxy S
Good for you !
You did it well, nice one! ;-)
I was to about to ask you to check your battery but glad you fixed it

[Q] Hardbricked? Any way out of here?

Hi guys,
I'm in a problem with my GNote... I am (or was) running Android 4.0.4 stock from Samsung, then today completely out of the blue the phone froze and I had to reset, then it was stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note logo screen. I tried removing the SIM and SD card, etc but nothing. Then I tried reinstalling the ROM via Odin but it got stuck in "Writing NAND...". Then I read in a forum that I could try a repartitioning with the PIT for my memory size (16 GB). I tried this but it got disconnected in the middle (the cable connector is a bit unstable) and now I can't get it to boot ANYTHING. The screen is completely black and Odin doesn't recognize the phone, can't get into recovery mode, etc.
Any idea? My tel company told me that it has a little marking that looks like the phone was hit and so they can't accept it for warranty tech service. I will try Samsung Service Center directly but before that, is there anything I can do???
Thanks!!

Is it starting up? If note just remove ur battery for around 10 mnts, then insert that try pressing vol down + power + home for 20 seconds and then press vol +, just check if ur pc could detect the device and also if the battery is enough charged.
If this detects ur device, u have chances or else only jig is the option.
Hope 4 the best
Press THANKS if this helped u :fingers-crossed:
I don't think even jig is an option now... the phone screen is completely black, it doesn't even get into the logo screen... going to Samsung right now.
jig mite help you.. cuz even when the phone doesnt boot up .. the jig mite force it to download mode.. check with that.. if not then get it to the samsung service.. how did u reset... were u rooted? stuck on NAND write is not a good sign

Why not?
The Jig costs 2-3 US$ from Ebay, China...
Give it a try, its simple:
- remove battery
- put the Jig in
- wait a bit and put the battery back
- wait, pull battery out, pull Jig out
- connect the phone via USB to your PC, put battery back and start Odin
And if you are a lucky man you can flash a new firmware via Odin.
If you have an corrupt bootloader, Jig helps.
If there is a hardware problem you need a new maniboard.
How you described your Note there is possible only a corrupted bootloader ( Jig ) or a dead mainboard ( Samsung repair ).
Hmmm I'd say there is some serious problem. Originally (yesterday) my Note was working OK and then spontaneously (I didn't do anything or bump it or anything like that, I was just writing an email) it froze and so I used the reset combination (power+home buttons), then it entered into boot loop, it started and when it got to the Galaxy Note logo it rebooted, it did this 2 or 3 times and then it was stuck in Note logo. I took out the battery, put it back in, the same. I waited 10 minutes with the battery out, again the same results.
But I could get into recovery mode, so I tried re-flashing my ROM (LRQ Samsung stock from Germany, this was the only flash I did in my Note since last year when I bought it, I had 2.3.6 and then last month I updated to 4.0.4 via Kies official download and then using Odin I flashed the LRQ Samsung 4.0.4 stock because it has new features like the 3D gallery) but it got to "Writing NAND..." or something like that. I tried this several times and it was always the same.
So I read somewhere that I could try repartitioning the memory using Odin and the PIT file for my memory size (16GB), I tried this but just when I was in the process, the USB connector (which is a bit loose in my Note) disconnected for a second and reconnected and it was all. Phone dead. I'm guessing there's nothing there in the memory to boot from or to... so I'm taking it to Samsung.

bro Chaostar
your Gnote is totally got a called ( brick ) same my gnote but it is revive via repartition.. with 2GB loss
first you do is make sure your battery is full charge and forced your Gnote into DOWNLOAD MODE.....
how to forced to download mode?
1 press home button + volume down then press power button,, if result is not lucky...... go to second way
2 use jig for download mode
(a) remove batt,,
(b) then attach the jig to usb port
(c) then put back the batt,,, then wait almost 60second
(d) after 60sec, remove jig then press volume up,..... one press only.... it shown black screen but the system status is download mode.
(e) open odin pc, connect your Gnote,,, see and wait.. if you see your gnote is detected,,,, your welcome you have a chance.. then flash kernel only ( safe_CM9_kernel.tar) then reboot to recovery then flash the JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.20 or follow the repartition procedure,,
( f) what if not detected?.......... don't worry..:highfive: i have last option for you... this is revive your Gnote via (JTAG)..
GUDLUCK and see you..
Well I already left my Note in my cell company, it is within warranty period and I hope they can fix it. The only problem is that it has a slight marking that looks like a bump on the side and they said that this could void the warranty, but they will give me a budget if it has to be paid for, I hope they don't have to change the whole mainboard, and if they want to charge me I'll take it to Samsung directly as a last chance. After that, I guess it's jig.
What really gets to me is that this started as a sort of spontaneous error, I didn't do anything to the phone before the initial freezing and unability to boot. The problem is that then I tried the PIT stuff. Well, let's see what happens.
Thanks for your suggestions!!
