Edit:
Had the exact same thing happen to me, but its just a bad flash.
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.

Where can i download the JM6 zip??

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.

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc

UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.

I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.
EDIT: Holy hell I just realized this post is from April. I just wasted a few minutes typing all of that. Damn.

[Q] Bricked Phone?

Hi all. I have a problem with an S5830 which was on 2.3.6 Stock+Root. It was network locked (even if with the code to check it said every lock was off), so I tried the factory reset solution listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9006090&postcount=1 using the code *2767*3855#. After the reboot my phone got stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing with Odin many different fw, with and without data.rfs just to be sure it wasn't corrupted, but my phone just keep looping after the samsung logo.
Is there an easy way to fix it?
Thanks
Just in case it can be useful, more details:
1) After the Odin autoreboot it keeps lopping without even displaying the samsung logo (display just go on and off), but if i remove/insert battery and turn it on it loops after the samsung logo.
2) Download mode, Special download, and Ramdump mode works, but Recovery mode don't.

Go to www.themythace.com/flash-stock-rom.html & follow the steps. After flashing, odin shows, closing serial port & rebooting device or something like that. Wait until pass appears. This time your device ends up in a boot loop. Now, take off battery & go back to downloading mode & reflash via odin. This time your device might boot. Atleast for me it did...
I never had a head ache & some one recommended me rooting !!!

Hmmm I'm afraid yours is bricked, though not unfixable.
When in odin did you use the right .ops file ?
Also, which recovery were you using ?
It is possible that your partitions are corrupted.

I used the correct Cooperv1 ops (I had flashed with it other times when I was trying custom roms). I was using CWM as recovery. Also I tought about the partition getting corrupted, that's why I downloaded an old stock rom with all the filesystem .rfs files (including data) to recreate them, but still it didn't work. At this point my only guess is that efs got corrupted in some way (I even have a backup of it but dunno how to restore it, did it with the "cat xxx > /file" procedure while tring to get the network unlock code).
When you say it's not unfixable, what you mean exactly? Anything that I can do at home without sending it to Samsung?
Thanks for your time.

Hmmm. I suspect your guess is right, perhaps someone else may know how to restore it.
I had to send mine to Samsung, and although they said they gave me a new motherboard I suspect they simply used jtag.

You can try searching about jtag & oneclickunbrick on google or on xda. Not sure what the processes involve but they help booting into downloading mode if you weren't able to before. But did you try what I suggested before ??

Oh then it wouldn't help. I can boot in download mode, but flashing a stock rom didn't fix it. I tried several times.

Put it in download mode again and flash again or try a different rom. If you have download mode it isn't bricked its fixable from home

I tried many times, with different roms, one package and not. Nothing fixed it. If it's the efs corrupted I think there is nothing you can do, even if I can go in download mode.

I think there is a way to flash cwm recovery via Odin you could try that, it could fix it but I'm not to sure but it's always worth ago
And when using Odin you just need ops file checked and one package checked and untick the first box were the three boxes are

Device is stuck on logo screen and does not boot into CWM nor download mode

Hi folks, First of all I would like to note that I have not found similar threads to the specific problem I have encountered. and now to the problem itself: A few hours ago i tried to Root my device, and after I flashed the appropriate file using the stock CWM the device tried to restart but then he just hangs on the screen with the samsung logo of the device and not turn on. Furthermore I cannot get to CWM or download mode by the combination of the buttons. Any kind of help would be really appreciated as this is very urgent because I use this phone on a daily basis. thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried to remove and insert the battery several times but it did not help and stuck on the samsung boot logo again.
P.S. Sorry for the various spelling mistakes that I might have.

Seems like a brick if you cannot enter download mode. Can you list the exact steps you carried out? Which ROM were you earlier on etc...

[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?

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:
