I removed the battery when phone was in download mode

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.2 (FROYO) system upgraded from 2.1 version using oden.
Yesterday I tried to update this system because I have some problem in my phone (shutdown automatically...). I used the same method I used before to UPGRADE the system (oden write SBL above the port number colored in yellow).
Unfortunately, when the phone was in "download mode", oden has stop working on 30% approx. it says that the com port is not available (knowing that this port worked correctly when oden established the connection). So I removed the battery from my phone...... (I know it is a stupid idea).
Now the phone do not start-up and when I connect it to pc nothing happens.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me what must I do??
Thank you guys

Can You Boot the phone into download mode manually ?
press volume down + home + power simultaneously
ps that wasn't stupid idea - it was the only solution to turn off broken flashing, but You must try boot it again to download mode and flash again but this time make sure that every file is properly placed in odin: file with MODEM as phone, CSC to CSC and third to PDA.

Oy.
As far as I know losing power to the phone or rebooting the pc while flashing the bootloader is one of the only ways to properly brick the sgs.
This sounds bad...very bad. If the bootloader had been erased but the new one hadn't been written before you pulled the battery, then I fear it is Goodnight Charlie. No bootloader, no phone.
If you can use the three button method to get to download mode as the post above me suggested, you will be alright.
If not....maybe a jig but I would doubt it.

Hi,
The button combination do not work
what did you mean by "jig". I am sure there is a solution
You seem expert so you can find a creative solution

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551 or give it to nearest samsung service, just say it is broken doesn't start - do never ever say its broken because i flashed it
Long time ago i have bricked motorola, said its broken and wont start - what they did was main-board replacing of course free by warranty

I purchase this phone locked for orange in France and I unlocked it to use it outside France. Can this cause a problem?
Best regards

I agree that a service center is your.only option now.

i would strongly suggest you first try building the jig with resistors
if that doesn't get you into download mode, then you can take the phone to your provider.
good luck mate

How can I do this, I know that if the Samsung logo does not appear (like my case), then this method will not work. What do you think?

are you able to see the following image on your phone when you start it up?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if you see this then it can be saved, if its just a black screen you are kind of screwed

Does the phone show any reaction? Does the acreen show anything? Any Sound? If it's just a black stone and doesnt react at all, send it to Samsung and as reason for the phone to be bricked, just say Kies f***ed it up while you tried to sync contacts or so. I did that one week ago and as you can see it's working again.
Well if it shows reaction try building your own jig as mentioned in the thread above or buy one from ebay to boot your phone into download mode.

ONLY black screen. The phone is out of warranty, will this cost a lot? they will fix it by hardware (change a part) or by software?

Try this:
1. Take everything out of the phone (sim, micro sd, battery)
2. Press volume up+home+power
3. Put the battery back in while still having the three buttons pressed.
4. Hopefully you are in download mode.

you can buy the jig from ebay. search for it.
if its gets the phone into download mode, u know what to do then...else take it to some unofficial service centre..i mean ordinary cell phone repairing shop and see if they can fix it.

There must be hope for my 2x that just kinda bricked.

Okay. I really don't feel comfortable trying new stuff without searching everything about it, so I must say I was pretty informed on flashing a new ROM on my 2x.
So I downloaded Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod Recovery. Every tutorial I read said I needed to backup my ROM. Also, they said I had to back it up manually, by booting into system recovery, pressing volume down + power, and I kinda ignored that.
I saw the option "Back up existing ROM" or something like that on ROM Manager, so I tried that. My phone rebooted, shown the LG logo, and then it went black and freezed. You can tell the phone is on because the screen stays black, but you can see some backlight. Also, the settings, home, back and search buttons are lit up.
I have to remove the battery to turn it off. I tried booting into recovery with the vol. down + power (I even tried vol. up... and both up and down + power) but it keeps giving me the black screen.
I looked up on the internet to see if someone had the same problem... no one had, apparently.
Sooooo I decided it was time to ask in a forum. Please try to help me, I need my phone working as soon as possible and sorry for my bad english

HeadbangerHS don't be disheartened.Here is a link below which will link u to Smartflash tool which will help you in flashing ur Optimus 2x back to life.Extreme caution is advised.Do at ur own risk.Not to be held responsible for bricking ur device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1008070
If u r unable to download smartflash firmware from the above link another link is attached below.Here u will be able to download firmware according to ur region.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Note in smartflash tool u will have 2 options to select file.CP bin & AP bin.If u download firmware according to ur region u will have 2 files CP.fls and AP.bin.So CP.fls will go in CP.bin option and AP file in AP.bin option.You will have a factory installed device ( data in internal SD will be erased in the above procedure).
Hope this will help.Happy flashing and be careful to follow instructions:good:

Yep, you can do it. Also you can flash open firmware with branded phone and all sh*t from brand will gone. You can flash your LGP990 with other country firmware to get other apps & languages.

oh god. when rebooting in SW upgrade mode, the phone turns on, shows the lg logo, goes to the black screen and turns off. then it repeats forever... and doesn't show the SW upgrade screen. I'll try asking on the kdz tutorial topic, but if you or someone could help me before, it would be more than great...

Have you done the KDZ procedure? I had to do it when I started playing with ROMs, and I have to say that you need a computer with Windows XP to do it, I tried with 7 in 2 machines and it did not work. Another thing: you have to remove the battery and plug in the usb while holding the volume down rocker.
Also, are you sure clockwork mod is not working? You cant release the power and volume down rocker until it boots into clockwork mod.

Yes, I tried the KDZ, but on a windows 7. I'll try it on my pc (where I use windows XP).
What happened on the windows 7 is that the phone DIDN'T GO INTO SW UPGRADE screen. And I removed the battery and everything.
Clockwork mod isn't working.
but thank you, I will try it here on my XP once I finish downloading everything again

I has to go into de SW Upgrade screen. Again, no battery, hold volume down (and do not let it go until the SW upgrade screen shows up), plug in usb.
This mode is OS independent, even if you plug the usb on a wall charger (I tested it and it worked), it HAS to get into this recovery mode.
That what you want to see (not my picture, took from Google Images):

[Q] Boot loop, can't connect to odin and other problems.

Hi, first of all ,thanks for taking your time to read this.
Hopefully somebody here can help me find a solution.
I have tried many searches here, and on other forums. I've spent hours already on google but I just can't find a solution to my problem(s).
I decided to completely wipe my phone through ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 as it had been running quite slow. I performed a data/factory reset and I wiped cache partition, Davlik cache and battery stats.
I reboot the system and it was stuck on the boot screen with the samsung logo. Every time I tried to reboot it was the same. Removed battery, same. My laptop and Odin also won't recognize the phone even as a storage drive. Navigating to storage through ClockworkMod shows "unknown volume for path"
I have tried everything I could find information on to get the phone to boot but nothing works. Is this a common problem? I really have no idea what to do next. Do I have a brick on my hands?
Thanks.

Can you go into download mode or not? I had almost the same problem, then I tried to install cwm using odin but it turns out I used the wrong version of cwm recovery (not for use with odin). When I pressed start in odin and it said "FAILED" I thought I just had to disconnect my phone and try it another way but it turns out I now don't even get that logo. only a weird phone image warning image and computer image. meaning the phone isn't connected to the computer.

I had similar kind of problems when i tried to flash a stock rom via odin. I completed it without errors. But when i tried to wipe data/factory reset in cwm5, i got an error E: Cant mount /cache/command.
And when i reboot the device, it got stuck on the logo. Tried several times but didn't worked.
Finally i solved the problem by flashing bootloader via odin accessing download mode using three button combo. I am not an expert to solve your problem but i hope this info helps you...

Are you sure you can't acces the download mode using three button combo. If then try using a jig to access the download mode. Search for it and you will get a detail 'how to' guide. Hope i helped

Hi guys,
First of all: I'm italian, sorry about my bad bad english, I'll try to stay as straight as I can.
I'm in need for some help about an issue with my SGS, and I think it's a problem we can relate with these you posted before.
Long story short, I've got a loop problem as well.
I had mounted cyanogenmod9 on my phone, and It worked perfectly until last night, when i did simply try to charge the battery and the phone started looping over the charging mode (it was off, the battery was completely empty before I plugged the phone with the charger)
No recovery mode available, at the time.
So i decided, as long as download mode was working to re-flash with odin the ClockWorkMode recovery.
And...it worked.:good:
But now my phone is still in loop, because as jabrif said:

Make sure your laptop has a latest version of odin and samsung drivers. Remove your phone battery for about 2 minutes. Insert it back and press and hold vol-down, home and power buttons. If you can get in to the download mode the device will detect in odin.

You have to flash Boot_loader.tar for your sgs via odin. Make sure the device has enough battery (say 70%)

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!

Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.

Try to flash a new kernel, then flash a new ROM. You should be able to get into download mode...

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.

If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

1.Remove your battery.
2.Reinsert battery.
3.Put in download mode.
4.Flash stock rom.
5.Profit!

I tried that one too, no success.
The phone still stucks in the splashscreen, nothing changed.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.
1.Go to recovery.
2.Format EVERYTHING(data, cache, dalvik AND system.)
3.Download mode
4.Flash broodrom with Odin.
That should work!

Not really, still the same.
My phone still stucks in splashscreen.

Does nobody else know a solution?
I can flash normal, go to download mode easily and everything else too.
It just stucks in the splashscreen.

Follow my tutorial about how to flash back to stock. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44047896&postcount=2

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667

Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?

verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697

I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

Did you flash the bootloader as I've wrote you in my previous post?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596

@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!

suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this
download ROM from here

I had rooted also... well... yesterday, suddenly phone hang up, I restarted phone and voila! It began to boot up by flashing the normal samsung galaxy s advance screen, but it continually flashes over and over and wont start. I tried everithig - custom rom, stock rom (may be same), f**king room, everithing tried many times, but it continually flashes sumsung logo again... and it goes only download mode... (using Vol down+Home+Power) Vol Up+Home+Power not working to go in recovery mode... also wont work "vol up+down and plug in" (i searched and founded it in google). this is my problem... please help me anybody... what can I do?
---
my english is like my phone' condition... sorry about it...

Did you try it to flash stock Jelly Bean?
If you can enter ONLY in download mode, that is the single solution, before Service Center.

I went from XXLQ4 to this that I use now. You will not have a problem by using this version.
http://d-h.st/36o
Download and try with it. So your volume up key is fine? When you get in download mode you hit it to enter in it?
And after installation in Odin - it goes to recovery to finish installation? Do you see that Android with open stomach?
Similar to this, maybe it is on the other side...

If he still cant boot / go in recovery with firmware which you gave him, is possible to extract stock jb (.tar),put cocore kernel (version with recovery) then make it .tar again and flash in odin? I think will work and he will be able to go in recovery.

Yes, but it will increase binary counter. If he has warranty. Sounds like there is something wrong with kernel partition... Installation does not go to recovery after finishing steps in Download mode.

I found some previous version of CoCore for JB (can't remember version) I made before. @nutuprofe can try with it. But again, if it fails - he can't reset binary counter if he can't boot...

thanks guys for help... i'll try again
my odin version is 3.07... but when i was at work, in my work pc i had 1.3 & 1.7 versions and i tried here too and no result... odin isnt problem...
 @shut_down - i never give my phone to Service Center, as i think i can solve it and if i cant, service center cant too because i know our service center opportunity (may be it right word )
