[Q] Galaxy i9000 is dead :(

Hey guys,
I've got a realy big problem with my galaxy. It's not possible to start it anymore. Nothing happens when I try to turn it on, I don't even get the first boot screen.
My phone is t-mobile branded and I tried to do this, to get the download mode working (sry, i can't post the link cos i have no permission):
[FIX][110% SAFE][UPDATE: 15.Nov.2010] 3-button combo FiX for Selected Firmwares
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
After applying the update.zip the flash starts but the phone did't restart after a few seconds like posted.
I already removed everything (battery, sim card, sd card) but nothing happens.
Please help!

Can you go to download mode? If yes, then flash a firmware from odin as mentioned above. Else return is the only option provided you haven't left any trace of manipulation on your phone...

Had the same thing. The phone didn't even react after connecting to the charger.
I had to give it to Samsung, got it back after almost two weeks. But it came back unbranded

[Q] Can't boot without Charger/Usb

Hello
I had some trouble with a bricked SGS for about 3 weeks ago but got it on the run again with some flashing help.
Now i have this strange problem. If i turn it off or if it just goes black out, which it has begun to do after i flashed it, then it can't turn on, it just show the sun looking loading icon and then a empty battery icon and then turns off.
I can't load recovery mode with the combo, but i can make the download mode combo work.
But if i connect the phone with the charger/usb i recognize it and show that it charging up. Now it boot and shows the Galaxy I9000 model no. image.
Had tried flashing newer versions From XXJPO -> XXJPY -> XWJS3 and both with and without pre-partition and it still occur.
Now the question: Does any of you experienced people know this problem and can it be fixed somehow ?
Thank you in advance

First i would liik to charge phone for 24 hours and also check with another battery .

The battery don't seem to be defected. Once the phone is booted with a cable connected, it goes without problems. It just will not boot without a charging signal.

Bump - Still actual

Try using Block 2 Odin method here to go back first to Eclair and if that works test phone then upgrade to Froyo .

That happened to me a while back and I couldn't find a fix for it. Ended up doing the above and it resolved it.

i agree wiv the suggetions frnds given.galaxy is hard to brick.i did all sort of unusual things an even uptodate lol.don worri m8 jus flash to older stock and hard reset.check the connectivity pins,to b clean even the battri pins.somtimes its best u format ur eternal xd on pc an format.and giving another hard rest makes things better.i had once formated my int sd on pc and the phone had emptied,then i flashed and things worked fine.personally sticking to stock rom is better if u dont wan troubles,cause every custom rom has som drawback an needs a lil knownledge to tweak it up.check kies if ur on it,i recomend download the recovery driver in it.hope u get some help.cheeeerzzzz

Same here...
Hello everyone,
I too have the same issue as stated in the first post.
I even had issue sometimes that when boot up.
The USB notification icon wouldnt turn off even if i wasn't connected.
Some threads suggested that I clean the USB port, which i did and nothing changed, even if it looked a little bit dirty in there (Hard to say since it is really small).
Now the USB port looks just as new but same issue: I cant power on the unit witout having it connected with a power cord.
Also, when offline in download mode, Odin detect the unit and I can flash my device (Which I did yesterday by flashing UGJH2 re-partition and UGJL2 not re-partition) but when boot up, I can't make it to sync up with the computer. No sync possible (Also now I'm not rooted anymore).
The unit is under warranty but since it is unlocked with a tool that needed rooting to lock back, abviously I would need to be rooted again but to do it, I need to be able to sync it with my PC (No cant do here).
I have some engineer at work that offered me to check it out for me, they think it is related with the USB port, but I'm worried about the warranty seal. I found how to disasemble it but does anybody knows where it could be located on the I9000M from bell (Vibrant)? Does it have one?
Anybody have any better suggestion or a second opinion, please?
Its my 3rd Galaxy S from Bell and Samsung is now the last company I would think when buying a new mobile.
EDIT: Did the Block 2 Method and now it doesnt even want to boot at all (Did the JPY_JPY_JPY.tar part), now it shows the loading sign even faster and the battery doesnt even show it self at all.

Hello again people!
Got my friend engineers to open the phone and they didnt find anything that would cause my issue (Also no warranty label...).
Does anybody knows how to root a Galaxy S with Froyo without a PC?
I want to return my phone to Bell Canada under warranty but my phone is unlocked and I want to lock it back before sending it back and I need to be rooted to do so...
Thanks for your help!

I got the same problem here. Could someone tell me more on this. What is this Block 2 ODIN method?

this problem can be caused by water or sweat that got inside the case of your sgs.
the biggest hole in the case is micro-usb port) i think condensation accumulated there and locked some contacts.
try to disassemble the phone and carefully clean and dry it.
this helped me.

[Q] Help please. No reaction after odinflash.

Hey guys
I'm really ****ed. I just tried to flash the JVO stock firmware via odin. Before I was running on Darkys 10.1 Resurrection rom.
Odin just worked normally, I booted into DL-mode, checked Repartition and inserted all the JVO files from Samfirmware using .512pit. Odin finished and gave me the "Pass!" message, then i waited for my phone to reboot but nothing happened. No vibration, no lights, no anything. I can neither get into recovery nor download mode anymore. I tried different things, taking out the battery, connecting USB in several combinations, but still nothing happens...
Can anybody help me or is there just no hope left?
Thanks

Try to take the battery out for 10 mins and try download mode again,

Thanks I will try that. Did it work before?

it has for some people but it all depends on the seriousness of the flash,
some people have corrupted the bootloaders leaving the phone completely dead
some have managed to get their SGS to rise from the dead... i dont know what category yours comes under

seems as if it didnt work... should i try contacting the samsung support?

does the phone show any sign of life ??
does anything light up ? does the charging screen come on when charger is connected ?
if nothing happens then samsung will be your last resort.
BUT act dumb, act like you dont know **** about phones, and try your best to blame it on kies, do not mention the words froyo or gingerbread or odin. you might be ok

no it does not show any sign, just nothing... just a black brick anymore
i'm gonna try to contact samsung, thank you for your help!

You had deadlys rom = broken phone .
Use download recovery jig flash stock rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje

i would love to but i cant get into download mode anymore...
the jigs i already had a look for are said only to work with devices that still show a sign of life, mine does not do anything...
if still persist, could you please send me a link to that jig?

Go to galaxy s general/stickies, its the 2nd post I think....good luck

If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you.

Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 can't boot

Hi everybody
I'm really not lazy men, I check almost all posts here on the best forum in the world xda. I face this problem before 2 days, I unlock my phone with Galaxy_Ace_Unlock and root it, everything was worked perfect and suddenly it lose mobile signal. I check phone locking and it was locked again.
It wasn't main problem , then I read on this forum that this aplication is not safe and I uninstall it, after that I rebote my phone and got strange problem. I can't boot my phone I only get samsung boot screen 1 sec and it keeps restarting every sec. When I charge my phone via charger I don't see anything just screen is blanking.
More one thing, when I deleted app galaxy ace unlock I deleted from sd card root file that I use to root my phone.
I need help I try flashing it with odin 4.38 and no success, I can enter download mode, everything pass perfect and I got message PASS but phone can't boot, when it's finishing with odin on last step phone restart it self and keep blanking. This is very anoying problem, please help me if you can.
I use swisscom galaxy mini s5570 and I don't know how to solve this.
I try many different stock rooms but no success, always when I finish with odin it's successfull but I can't boot, I can't access recovery mode because phone is blinking all the time.
I know that this forum is most powerfull and tha we have the best experts, better than android developers that have, and I'm sure that you can help me in some way.
More once, I can enter download mode and flash with odin but I can' boot.
Sorry for my bad english I'm from Bosnia and my first language is Bosnian
Thanks, Reuf

If you can enter download mode, ODIN will most probably work. I think you have gone wrong while working with ODIN. Follow these instructions carefully and double check whether the correct files are selected for each category.
If you still have the problem try flashing a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
Or, the other most probable thing is some hardware error, the only thing to do then is to go to a Samsung center, and act dumb (like you do not know anything about rooting) and if you warranty is not void, they might get it right for you..

I can't go to the Samsung center because I bought phone from my friend. It was a new phone I got it in the box but he bought it in Swiss. I will try some other ROM but really I try many of them.
I think my phone is lost

But even in Swiss they have warranty agreements and receipts so if it is new you should have such purchasing receipts - otherwise your friend pulled you over the barrel.
Anyway, maybe you tried a ROM w/o boot-image to prevent from bootloops.
Maybe you should try the 2.3.5 version coming from samsung:

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 won't boot and turns off

Hello Community,
I'm new here and hope you can help me even if it is only a little bit
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with stock rom 2.3.6, root rights and cwm flashed.
Before I did this I had some problems with my phone, e.g. if I hit (gently) the back side the phone turns off =/
My new at the moment real problem is that I cannot turn my phone on if I only use the battery. (onlly the Samsung logo appears for a short time)
I can only boot it if the phone is pluged into my computer. When it runs and the display turns off, the phone will go off also. (not instantly but atfter 2-5 minutes)
Does anyone knows something about such a problem?
Thanks for your help.

I can exclude the battery. I have tested two of them and I can be sure that both are well because they work in another Galaxy S I9000 without problem.
To flash a custom rom with plugged phone into computer will be tested tomorrow.

Good luck:good:But I would suggest to flash stock gb rom first just to make sure its not a software problem.

I remember @xsenman has mentioned a solution for this problem about two months ago..... I am sure he will write you soon here.

I had the same problem with my phone, it would reboot if i tapped the back of it, i found out it was a dodgy app i installed so i uninstalled a couple of apps i recently installed and it solve the problem.

So know I have tryed to flash with connected phone. I do not know whether it works because the phone won't boot the system, only recovery and bootloader.
In cause of this I have reflashed with Odin again. Now I get at reboot this screen:

sry but i cannot post direct links =/
I understand what there is written but I don't know why, the only sdcard is my internal there is no external connected.
So there is a new problem and I would be glad about new ideas =\
(I tryed: reboot, wipes and reboot, wipes and new flashing (same problem))
@tetakpatak if my system boots again I would search for his post thank you
