Hi there i have a SGS which was running ics on a custom rom working fine
I then wanted to flash the official 2.3.6 os back on it for a friend.
I put the phone into download mode then odin did'nt do anything so i turned it off
now i can't see anything on the phone when i turn on the power key please can i do anything?
Check your drivers on your labtop and retry to put the GS in download mode
Try going in recovery system and do all three wipes...

I can't do anything i cant go into download mode and i cant go in to recovery mode i cant do ****
Any button i press wont do anything to turn on my SGS
I don't even see any backlight

I guess u hard bricked ur phone then...
Now there is only one way..
G
Get a USB jig and with the help of it u can go in download mode.. U can check the video below

I've got a better solution and with it your phone will never be bricked in the future.
But you can use it only if you are handyman.
Follow this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330491
and your phone will resurect and will be immortal ^^( manner of talk, if you drop it from the 51 floor of a building it will not survive).

lol i ll never try that...
u seriously doing it?? O.O
wish u luck though..
@drakester20 the utube video that you sent me went back to xda site and said it will only work if the bootloader is workin mine is'nt
and
that method you showed on disecting the phone might be my only option
just out of curiosity could i give it to samsung and will they detect that it has been rooted?
BTW i installed a I9100 flash file on to the odin when i did it which was samsung s2 flash file now i realise what went wrong
Me being a **** head and installing the wrong file.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

1-Remove battery, sim card and sd card
2-wait 3~4 minutes
3-put your charger on galaxy (i lost my charger, used the usb cable and worked)
4-Hold power, and at the same time (dont release power), put battery, press vol.down and home button (in this order)
5-keep holding the buttons for 5~10 seconds
your galaxy must be online again..
i'm sorry for my bad english, but i think its understandable ;p

It's easy you just have to make a bridge between two connectors (OMX5 and OMX0) and after you flash a software. If this manipulation can make my phone like a survivor i can do it ^^

Don't worry about that the GS2 has a counter who is incremented when u flash a non official software it's a trick that the constructor used to help the Samsung's technicians to know if you can use the guarantee or not but the GS1 isn't equipped of this system, then it doesn't matter.
so @drakester20 are u saying that i can give it samsung and they wont know and charge mer nothing?

yeah dude.. they wont know ur binary resets anyway.. if u had sgs2 then they could have figured it out in download mode coz there it is written in download mode..
u can give it a try though...
@drakester20 so what did u tell samsung when your phone got briked.
Just found found out that my phone still has warranty till the end of next moth.
What should I say to them?
Should i say i used samsung kies to update then a failure message came on my screen ?
What should i say as I am running out of time and my warranty is nearly about to go?

Then i restarted it.but it got stuck into samsung boot logo. I even can't go through my download mode or clockwordmod.
so, was not able to use ODIN.
First ODIN Failed in flashing my ROM. then i got pissed off and switched off my mobile.
After sometime when i tried to start it. it went dead. it is even not starting. It is not even getting charged.
I know it is now bricked. Please tell me how to unbrick it.

Sorry, any of us can help you in this. I guess you can still take your mobile to warranty, since it didn't passed a year yet.
Press the Thamks button if helped.
I did this several times. but didn't got any success.
How about using jig?? if i didnt get success will jig do any harm to my mobile.
or may be i should go to the samsung center and get it done by them.
Anyways thanks for the prompt reply.

if you don't know exactyl how to do use jig, I wouldn't do it, since you may loose your warranty again. I sent my bricked Galaxy Ace that didn't boot to Samsung, and they didn't notice I installed a custom rom in it, so maybe you should try.
I've found a thread like yours, maybe the solutions there will help you

Well i gave it to the samsung service center. They haven't repaired yet. but they told me that we are completely changing the motherboard which was totally damaged.
Can they find out now that i have rooted my ace plus, after changing the motherboard?? Hope they wont find it......
I am a bit worried about this.

Naa... They don't!!! Once the phone went off(bricked) no one would be able to find what happened before. But even if they enquire about it, behave as if U R a NOOB to all this. This's all what U need 2 do!!
Be cool & have patience!!
EDIT: Also, motherboard is not damaged in most(~all) cases. It can easily be cured by Riff Jtag box.

"How to unbrick galaxy ace...WORKING 100%"
by pagadalachetan
Hello,
I have a problem with my galaxy ace.
I rooted it and flashed 2 roms succesfully (cyanogenmod (I can't recall which one) and another one (can't remember which)).
But when I tried to flash the third the phone went dead.
Now it won't do anything.
I tried to enter download mode with an USB jig.
I also tried to enter download mode by pulling everything out (sim, sd, battery) hooking it up a pc and hold vol -, home and power and reinstering battery.
I have searched for hours but it still doesn't work.
Anyone knows what's going on and maybe have a solution?
If you tell the name of roms you flashed, we can help. If the rom wasn't made for ace, then your device is hard bricked.

if you can't boot into download mode and you tried get it using an USB jig... then the last option is to send your device to the tech support, I'm sorry
Do you still have your device under warranty?
Good luck

My presumption is confirmed.. I don't have warranty anymore but it isn't much of a deal. I got this phone to play with but it would be fun to resurrect it.
It's a hard brick. You may have flashed a ROM from a different device.
If a USB jig doesn't work, that's probably the end of the road for your ace.
Tech support may help, but they'll probably replace the motherboard and that won't be cheap.
Sorry, mate.

WRONG SECTION!
To be lazy it's NOT ALLOWED on XDA forums! FIRST READ RULES and then read the posts completely ten times and finally read it again!!! ...and if you understand them, you'll try any modifications
Are your device a available warranty yet? send it to the technical service
...if not, you can say goodbye to your phone

Bro, try to follow the guide. Just pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button is completely different from preparing your odin, removing battery, connecting phone to computer, inserting the battery and pressing Vol Down+ Power + Home button. This method can, in the best case scenario, force open Download Mode. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but something to gain. If this doesn't work, guide also provides details on USB Jig which is your last option. Hope I helped

The USB Jig method is just working for softbricked (it can boot, but looping) phones but can't go to recovery or download mode. So, it's not working for hardbricked phone

Bro, but the above guide says the USB jig for Samsung devices force the device into download mode so you can flash firmware over Odin and restore it to working order. Are you sure about what you said?
