I already read all kinds of guides to unbrick the Galaxy S but none of them worked.
First, the patient:
Samsung Galaxy S International Version, factory free. Froyo 2.2.1 (I don't know if it is related with this problem, but 2 or 3 weeks ago I updated from Froyo 2.2 to 2.2.1)
Now the symptoms:
Two days ago, several settings changed to default, and even though it looked weird I didn't worry.
Yesterday, when I went into the Android Market web, a message appeared, saying that I didn't have any phone registered in my account. I thought it was a phone problem (and boy, it was!) so I restarted it. It didn't. It shows the Samsung logo with the model, then the Galaxy S animation and that's it! a minute later the screen goes black and vibrates randomly, every 2 minutes or so.
The 'treatment':
I already had a problem like this in the past, but then it was really my fault. After desperately looking for the solution, I managed to do a hard reset by using the 'adb reboot recovery' command, because the 3 button combo didn't work. This time I used the combo, just in case, and it worked! but before showing me the recovery options some weird message about installing some csc stuff appeared. When the recovery menu appeared, I thought that the phone was OK, so I rebooted it without doing anything else (I should have done the factory reset, right!? but I didn't want to lose anything :S). Big mistake: the problem continues, and now the 3 button combo doesn't work!
The 'adb reboot recovery' command doesn't work either. When I use it, this message appears:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
I have already done *almost* everything I found in the forums. The only thing I haven't tried is the USB jig method.
I should mention that I've never used Odin, or downloaded a custom ROM or anything like that. When I had Froyo 2.2 I rooted the phone but with the update it was gone. And that's it! no lagfixes, no custom ROMs, no nothing!
Can somebody help me?
PD: Sorry for my English, I am Peruvian .
I suggest that you flash back to stock Froyo 2.2 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .

How can I do it if my computer can't find my phone? Can Odin find it?

Had a similar problem with mine, went from 2.1 to 2.2 on a factory unlocked phone and wound up in the same position you are in, first the pics in gallery started doubling up, then problem with market. 3 button combo no longer worked. Was pretty new to xda and sgs so didn't try adb. What I did do was bring it to my local vodafone shop, and even though it wasn't bought from them, they sent it off. Got it back within 4 days, free of charge, and the maintenance report stated that they had replaced a faulty display module, and upgraded it to 2.2.1, which wasn't available here at the time. (Doesn't make sense to me, but it must have been a hardware fail of some sort) but it got fixed, fast and for free.

Yes it works, I used it. Now I have stashed my home made electric component at a very safe place as I know while working with hacks I am going to need it again.
You literally don't need much electronic skills. What you need is a Micro USB cable (buy the cheapest one that u can find if u have to buy).
Buy a 301K resistor (if not available then get as many to bring total to 301k, I bought 3 300K and 1 1K to make a total to 301K).
There are tutorials with pictures on this site, search and u will find them.
One last thing don't worry at all up to this moment your phone is fine. Once you have your JIG ready, post a message or I am sure some one will guide you through or PM me I most certainly will as I know exactly how frustrated you might be right now.
Cheers
Try to go to download mode (volume down+home+power) if you can do that, send me a private message and i will explain you about odin.
Something more: what is USB jig?

A friend of mine bought this phone for me in Spain and sent it to me, and here in Peru only Movistar has this kind of phones. I'll take it to them, but something tells me that their won't be as good as Vodafone's.

Thankfully, the only thing I am sure is that my phone is fine... It's very hard for a Galaxy S to completely go FUBAR (unbrickable, I heard). But I'm really frustrated, not only with this problem, but with the RFS lag. I watch some friends' android phones (LG Optimus One, for example) go really smoothly while mine sometimes goes choppy, and it makes me envious Actually, the first time I f*cked with my phone was when I tried to use OCLF. The only thing left was to resign myself.
I expect to make my jig tomorrow, even though I have a very unsteady hand

I tried to get the phone in download mode and recovery mode with the 3 button combo, and nothing happened. As I wrote before, I could get the phone in recovery mode once, but now I can't. I should have done the hard reset then, damn it!
And about Odin, I heard that I can brick my phone with it if I do something wrong, so I never used it (I don't want an expensive paperweight ).
About your question, a USB jig is a 'device' (so to speak) that one can manually make with a mini USB connector and a 301k resistor, as you can see in a previous comment. It's supposed to make the SGS go into download mode when you connect it to the phone.
Acerca de escribir las cosas en ingles, pues creo que asi nos entiende mas gente, jejeje.
PD: Is it true that flashing a ROM, even a stock one (stock froyo, for example), voids the warranty?

Let's say I use the jig. What should I do after that? right now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, it says there's no phone connected :S. When I get it in download mode, will my PC be able to recognize it?
Yes it should as I had the similar issue, Get the JIG working (when JIG works, ur phone will be in download mode) then using odin load the stock rom on your phone, first time after the load of ROM it will take several minutes to reboot so dont panic.
If you dont want to loose much of your data then make sure you DON'T click on repartition check box.
Send me a pm once u have jig working

Tonight I'm going to try the jig. Now, I remember the USB debugging isn't enabled. It isn't a problem, is it?
nope. Do follow the instructions (you should be able to find that on xda dev site) on how to use JIG to get into download mode though.
OK I managed to get it into download mode. Now what?
flash a 3 file firmware, with 512 pit and re-partition
then flash this on top http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
then move onto what ever rom you want
I think your best bet would be trying to flash using EZBase to 2.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792&highlight=ezbase
Very user friendly instructions, meant for recovery purposes. After we get the phone booting and working again we can worry about trying a new ROM or Gingerbread.
I will continue the story where I left it.
I took the phone to customer service, and they managed to install an incorrect ROM, (my phone is I9000, they put a ROM for the I9000B) and they send it back to me, saying that my phone couldn't boot, so it should be a BIOS error. At least it goes into download mode. I want to flash stock Froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1. I have no idea how to do it, so please be very simple in your responses :$
PD: Once I get my phone working I'd like to try some other ROMs, I am really tired of the lag.

What are the advantages of repartition?
re partitioning, repartitions the file system, along with flashing a new ROM with all 3 files, this restores the phone to a 'new like' state, as if it was out the box.
its also the best way to unbrick devices too !! i re-partition mine every couple of weeks. but i am a constant flasher
Hello ! i am new to this comunity ! please i need some help ! It's about my LG P880 ....i flashed a wrong rom to this unit and now it wont turn on. The screen is black even when i plug it in the wall soket. The only thing when i plug it into my pc it shows like a APX missing driver ant that's it. What should i do ? i only heard of the JTAG repair but i am in Romania and here something like this is unheard of and the shipping costs would be around 150$ to usa without repair. PLEASE HELP ! (

relax. 1st thing to do is take a breath. 2nd thing to do is follow some guide to do it right this time. maybe it cant boot, but it can go in adb mode or in upgrade screen and restore the original forcing the original rom in. its ur choice.

APX device not recognized... NVFlash doesn't work on P880 (AFAIK).
And if you pay atention, the links also as uploaded drivers are from 2011, old.
Check SW
First of all try this:
1. take battery out
2. put it back
3. press and keep volume down
4. while keeping volume down plug USB cable, after 2 sec should enter to S/W upgrade
try exactly how i said and report if that works.

Well i don't have a lot of experience of re-installing phones, but i don't think that phone died of software missing/failure on phone, should be extra drivers/soft to wake it up, even after formatting all device, or maybe when he tried flash rom phone hardware got burned. i feel sorry for that phone

nah its ok. you see , this time i believe he is right , it died. the reason is because this happened while using pc sync with the pc suite. the original lg software caused him this issue. i was not there to see what happened but for the original to fail so bad..... its one in a billion.....
So i factory rested the phone, then installed rom manager from google play and instaled CWM then pressed reboot to recovery and the phone turned off. Now when i want to turn it on it stucks on LG logo, tried all combination (i think so) but it but it shows LG logo then screen turns off. Anybody help?
Edit: I found out that i can turn my phone in SW upgrade and use Smart Flash Tool, but the problem is that none of the drivers are working, i tried about 10 of them, pc cant recognize my LG, anybody help?

I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms
Dont forget to click the thank button on the corner of this post

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.

Hello guys , it's the first time that anything happen wrong in my Android experience (maybe 4 years).

i think i switch the instructions so that went wrong.
Status of the phone :
Battery good.
Won't boot, just when the battery is off and I connect an USB cable , appears an image informing that battery is not found.
Boot to recovery , fastboot wont work.

Hello guys,
Just want to give updates about my situation. So my L90 was hard bricked and I am from Portugal and a MEO client . After I search various foruns for solutions and tutorials and I cant find anything so I went to LG customer service in Lisboa and they took 5 days to repair the device, swap the main board for a brand new one and after that they call to inform that I can get my phone back, and I don't have to pay a dime (moral questions aside).
Thanks for help xda , have a nice day

He means the search on this site.
For starters here are the latest drivers I found that are not included in another program:
p880 drivers 3.8.1
Please download and install them with your device not being connected to your pc.
When installation is done, connect your device and wait until it is identified by the new drivers.
So far so good? Please report if that worked.

adb fastboot drivers for windows
p880 usb drivers and lg bridge
lg flash tool if lg bridge fails
choose the right firmware and download it. only you know that.
kdz files
Good luck.
Search box is a box where we type to find something and its located in the upper right corner of the xda site.

one question. if you know how to answer that , you fix it in 5 minutes.
can you boot into bootloader mode or not ?
if you find how and try it and if you get in bootloader mode,
at my next post i'll have your phone fixed.
if not, find a guide to flash kdz if lg bridge don't fix it for you.
~EDIT:
and hit thanks button. it's the least you can do to say thank you !
its the way xda works lol
4xhd totally blocked out
thanks guys for help so far, i havent tried most of the things yet, as i havent done it before, am still having trouble getting the phone to connect to pc in s/w upgrade mode, the pc and lg software wont find phone, one thing on the screen of phone at the top is a symbol, i think its the android beam symbol, its like a book with 2 arrows, is that a problem or is it normal, thanks
